Plant medicine? The moon typing? It probably seems incomprehensible. Gerard Armond Powell was a rags-to-riches success story - a member of the one percent - but also an extremely unhappy person with multiple addictions. On a fast track to destroying every relationship that ever mattered to him and considering suicide, he was looking for a miracle, a way out. He found it in the form of plant medicine and a shaman who introduced him to the truth of his life, and laid the groundwork for a psycho-spiritual journey that would lead him to reconnect with his soul, heal addictions, and more.

Mobbing, Liebeskummer - mal abgesehen von den üblichen Schulproblemen trifft Ismael ein besonderes Schicksal...

Sylvie è uno dei racconti più noti e più belli del grande scrittore francese Gérard de Nerval. In una costruzione perfetta e coinvolgente, Aurélie, Sylvie e Adrienne emergono in profili ora di sogno, ora reali, ma sempre vivissimi. Romanticismo estremo, allucinato, quello di Nerval, poeta ispirato e scrittore immenso che dipinge figure femminili allo stesso tempo rarefatte, metafisiche, romantiche, tragiche. Un racconto struggente reso ancor più vivo ed emozionante dall'intreccio di voci degli intensi interpreti, Fabio Farnè e Valeria Ianniello.

"Il Sogno è una seconda vita. […] È un sotterraneo vago che si schiarisce poco a poco […] poi il quadro prende forma […] e il mondo degli Spiriti si dischiude a noi." Con queste parole si apre "Aurélia", l'onirico racconto della discesa nella follia del poeta e romanziere francese Gérard de Nerval, famoso per la raccolta di racconti "Le figlie del fuoco".

Mit Stubenarrest oder Strafaufgaben kommen die Mädchen dieses Internates nicht so leicht davon. Es kursieren unglaubliche Gerüchte über ungewöhnliche Erziehungsmethoden bei Ungehörigkeit oder Aufsässigkeit. Und keine der Internatsschülerinnen hat jemals detailliert von ihrem "Gespräch" mit dem Direktor berichtet. So ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass sich ein beklemmendes Gefühl einschleicht, sollte man zu einem solchen "Gespräch" bestellt werden, um sein Vergehen gehörig zu büßen.

Quelle est la meilleure façon de retrouver le sommeil perdu, qu'il s'agisse d'insomnie passagère ou d'insomnie chronique ?

Tout le monde l'utilise, tout le monde en parle, ses progrès font la une : mais qui sait vraiment ce qu'est l'informatique ? Il s'agit d'une façon radicalement différente de penser, qui permet d'associer de l'information, de toute taille et de toute nature, à un ou plusieurs algorithmes, c'est-à-dire à des opérations mathématiques. C'est cela, l'informatique : une méthode systématique pour transformer un besoin en une suite d'opérations élémentaires.

Gérard Labrunie dit Gérard de Nerval, est né le 22 mai 1808, à Paris. Il décida d'y terminer volontairement ses jours et on le retrouva pendu, rue de la Vieille Lanterne, à l'aube du 26 janvier 1855. L'existence entière de Nerval fut dominée par l'obsession d'une autre vie dont seuls les rêves nous rendent compte. Aurélia est l'adorable créature surgie de ce monde invisible. Comme il l'a dit à Alexandre Dumas, Nerval était doué de la faculté de s'identifier à des personnages réels ou légendaires.

Nina Fleet’s life ought to be as sweet as a Georgia peach. Awarded a tidy sum in her divorce, Nina retired at 41 to a historic Queen Anne house in quaint Cymbeline, Georgia. But Nina’s barely settled into her new B&B-to-be when a penguin shows up on her porch...or, at least, a man wearing a penguin suit. Harry Westcott is making ends meet as an ice-cream shop’s mascot and has a letter from his great-aunt, pledging to leave him the house...too bad that’s not what her will says. Meanwhile, the Sisters of Perpetual Poverty have lost their lease.

Gerard Manley Hopkins was born in Essex, England, in 1844. During his lifetime, his work, at his own insistence, remained unpublished. Hopkins died in 1889, aged just 45, but it was not until 1918 that his work was first published and until 1930 that he first received acclaim. Here, Margaret Rawlings reads a selection of his finest work, including "Starlight Night", "Spring", "Pied Piper", and "Inversnaid".

In January 1866 Hopkins composed his most ascetic poem, The Habit of Perfection, but a few days later he included poetry in the list of things to be given up for Lent. In July he decided to become a Catholic, and by May 1868 Hopkins firmly 'resolved to be religious'. Less than a week later, he made a bonfire of his poems and ceased to write for almost seven years.

The sun has descended below the far horizon. The inky blackness of night begins to envelop the land. Day has gone, and the nocturnal times reveal themselves. But above the dark blanket the moon, whether waxing or waning, stands sentry, and around it vast clouds and swirls of stars regiment themselves. We look up in awe and wonder, frail beneath their vista. Our gloried poets are on hand, though, to capture word and deed, emotion and feeling, friend and foe.

It is often said that two things are unavoidable: death and taxes.Certainly the latter is a common thorn in adult life, but as to the former it seems that for many people it is merely a hiccup in life’s eternal journey. A journey they wish, if being of good deed and character, to share at the eternity of heaven’s largesse, a reward for faith and the obligations of religion. Of course for those not so fortunate an altogether different experience was prepared for them: hell.

Victoria’s reign was long and presided over the restless expansion of the British Empire and reams of creative genius. Within these volumes we can bring only a glimpse of the richness, beauty and words of the poets and their musings on this remarkable age. Many are world-renowned - Tennyson, Browning, Arnold, Kipling, Austin, Hopkins, Hardy and Swinburne. Some are almost forgotten - Patmore, Newbolt, Synge. And some are barely noted - Lyall, Meynell and Merdeith. But together they encompass a great poetical age.

Twenty-three-year-old Frits - office worker, daydreamer, teller of inappropriate jokes - finds life absurd and inexplicable. He lives with his parents, who drive him mad. He has terrible, disturbing dreams of death and destruction. Sometimes he talks to a toy rabbit. Darkly funny and mesmerising, The Evenings takes the tiny, quotidian triumphs and heartbreaks of our everyday lives and turns them into a work of brilliant wit and profound beauty.
