Vianočný chlapec Nikolas

release date: Jan 01, 2021
Vianočný chlapec Nikolas
Tento príbeh je o Vianočnom otcovi. Možno preňho máte iné mená, napr. Santa či Mikuláš. Ale ak by ste boli elfovia, nevolali by ste ho inak ako Vianočný otec. Viete si však predstaviť, že kedysi ho nikto nepoznal? Bol obyčajným chlapcom a žil uprostred ničoho. Veľa toho o svete nevedel, poznal však chuť hubovej polievky, chlad severského vetra a príbehy, ktoré mu rozprávali rodičia. S mágiou ho spájalo len to, že v ňu veril. A v jeho živote sa mali čoskoro udiať zázraky, ktoré si nevedel ani predstaviť!

La biblioteca de la media noche
Entre la vida y la muerte hay una biblioteca. Y los estantes de esa biblioteca son infinitos. Cada libro da la oportunidad de probar otra vida que podrías haber vivido y de comprobar cómo habrían cambiado las cosas si hubieras tomado otras decisiones... ¿Habrías hecho algo de manera diferente si hubieras tenido la oportunidad? Nora Seed aparece, sin saber cómo, en la Biblioteca de la Medianoche, donde se le ofrece una nueva oportunidad para hacer las cosas bien. Hasta ese momento, su vida ha estado marcada por la infelicidad y el arrepentimiento. Nora siente que ha defraudado a todos, y también a ella misma. Pero esto está a punto de cambiar. Los libros de la Biblioteca de la Medianoche permitirán a Nora vivir como si hubiera hecho las cosas de otra manera. Con la ayuda de una vieja amiga, tendrá la opción de esquivar todo aquello que se arrepiente de haber hecho (o no haber hecho), en pos de la vida perfecta. Pero las cosas no siempre serán como imaginó que serían, y pronto sus decisiones enfrentarán a la Biblioteca y a ella misma en un peligro extremo. Nora deberá responder una última pregunta antes de que el tiempo se agote: ¿cuál es la mejor manera de vivir?

Observações sobre um planeta nervoso

Observações sobre um planeta nervoso
Como podemos nos sentir menos ansiosos e deprimidos em um mundo cada vez mais dominado pelas redes sociais? Após anos convivendo com a depressão e as crises de pânico, Matt Haig percebeu que determinadas interações nas redes sociais agiam como gatilhos para a sua ansiedade. Em uma tentativa de buscar uma saúde mental mais equilibrada no mundo altamente conectado em que vivemos, Haig começou a pesquisar a relação entre a quantidade de informações, imagens e interação virtual ao nosso dispor e nossa sensação crescente de cansaço, solidão e depressão. Se somos bombardeados de imagens felizes e temos acesso a todo tipo de informação o tempo todo, por que nos sentimos cada vez mais perdidos e solitários? Por que vemos a incidência de quadros como depressão, ansiedade e síndrome do pânico aumentar? Para o autor, essas perguntas só podem ser respondidas fazendo uma análise da nossa sociedade, hoje dominada pela tecnologia e pela lógica do consumo. Uma de suas conclusões é que o modo como vivemos está projetado para nos fazer perder o controle. A partir desse prognóstico, Haig traz propostas para manter a sanidade em um planeta que nos deixa desequilibrados e para buscar a felicidade mesmo com a ansiedade sendo encorajada. Observações sobre um planeta nervoso é um olhar pessoal e fundamental sobre como se sentir feliz, humano e pleno no século XXI.

Come fermare il tempo
Un oscuro segreto che mette in pericolo i propri cari, una cavalcata attraverso la Storia, l’amore come un frutto proibito. La storia misteriosa di un uomo che ha vissuto tante vite sognandone sempre una normale. «Matt Haig ha un’empatia per la condizione umana, le sue luci e le sue ombre, e usa tutti i colori della sua tavolozza per costruire le sue storie eccellenti». Neil Gaiman Pensate a un uomo che dimostra quarant’anni, ma che in realtà ne ha più di quattrocento. Un uomo che insegna storia nella Londra dei giorni nostri, ma che in realtà ha già vissuto decine di vite in luoghi e tempi diversi. Tom ha una sindrome rara per cui invecchia molto lentamente. Ciò potrebbe sembrare una fortuna... ma è una maledizione. Cosa succederebbe infatti se le persone che amate invecchiassero normalmente mentre voi rimanete sempre gli stessi? Sareste costretti a perdere i vostri affetti, a nascondervi e cambiare continuamente identità per cercare il vostro posto nel mondo e sfuggire ai pericoli che la vostra condizione comporta. Così Tom, portandosi dietro questo oscuro segreto, attraversa i secoli dall’Inghilterra elisabettiana alla Parigi dell’età del jazz, da New York ai mari del Sud, vivendo tante vite ma sognandone una normale. Oggi Tom ha una buona copertura: insegna ai ragazzi di una scuola, raccontando di guerre e cacce alle streghe e fingendo di non averle vissute in prima persona. Tom deve a ogni costo difendere l’equilibrio che si è faticosamente costruito. E sa che c’è una cosa che non deve assolutamente fare: innamorarsi. Come fermare il tempo è una storia folle e dolceamara su come perdere e poi ritrovare se stessi, sull’inevitabilità del cambiamento e sul lungo tempo necessario per imparare a vivere. Una storia bellissima in cui riconoscersi, per piangere su tutto ciò che perdiamo e per rallegrarci delle meraviglie della vita.

Razões para continuar vivo

Razões para continuar vivo
“Quando eu tinha 24 anos, eu quase me matei. Na época, eu morava em Ibiza, Espanha, na parte tranquila da ilha. Minha casa era bem perto de um penhasco. Em meio à neblina da depressão, caminhei até a beirada do precipício e olhei para o mar, para a costa acidentada de pedra calcária, pontuada por praias desertas. Era a paisagem mais linda que eu já tinha visto, mas na hora aquilo não tinha importância. Eu estava muito ocupado tentando reunir a coragem que eu precisava para me jogar dali. Não me joguei. Em vez disso, recuei e vomitei tudo que estava sentindo. Mais três anos de depressão se seguiram. Pânico, desespero, batalhas diárias. Mas eu sobrevivi. Naquela época, eu tinha certeza de que não conseguiria passar dos 30. A morte ou a loucura total pareciam mais realistas. Já passei dos 40. Hoje vivo cercado por pessoas que amo, fazendo um trabalho que nunca imaginei que faria e passo meus dias escrevendo. Fiquei muito feliz por não ter me matado, mas continuei me perguntando se havia alguma coisa para dizer às pessoas que estão passando por esses tempos sombrios. Essa é minha tentativa.”
