Quem somos? De onde viemos? Para onde vamos? Perguntas manjadas, é verdade. Mas quem nunca pensou nisso pelo menos uma vez na vida? O questionamento sobre nossa existência, origem e destino tem sido tema de profunda reflexão dos maiores pensadores da humanidade ao longo de três mil anos e, mais recentemente, dos cientistas. As perguntas são as mesmas desde que o homem começou a pensar. As respostas não. Muito pelo contrário. Filósofos e cientistas de todas as épocas e escolas têm se dedicado também a inquietações bem mais pessoais. O que devo fazer para viver melhor? O que acontece dentro de mim quando me apaixono? As respostas variam. E muito. Em busca de nós mesmos é uma pequena e agradável viagem pela história da evolução do pensamento e do conhecimento humano. O diálogo informal de Clóvis de Barros Filho e Pedro Calabrez apresenta respostas da filosofia (com as ideias de Aristóteles, Platão e Spinoza, entre outros) e das ciências da mente (psicologia e neurociências) ? e instiga o ...

In this volume, Lightfoot offers a detailed study of an ancient Greek geographical poem by Dionysius, a scholar-poet who flourished in Alexandria during the reign of Hadrian, which describes the world as it was then known. In antiquity, it was widely read and extremely influential, both in the schoolroom and among later poets. Translated into Latin, the subject of commentaries, and popular in Byzantium, it offers insights into multiple traditions of ancient geography, both literary and more scientific, and displays interesting affiliations to the earlier school of Alexandrian poets. The introductory essays discuss the poem's place in the literary context of ancient geography, focusing on its language, style, and metre, whereby Dionysius shows himself a particularly painstaking heir of the Hellenistic poets, and illustrates how intricately he interlaces sources and models to produce a mosaic of geographical learning. Particular emphasis is given to Dionysius' place in the anci...

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, NAMED BY THE TIMES AS ONE OF 6 BOOKS TO HELP UNDERSTAND TRUMP'S WIN AND SOON TO BE A MAJOR-MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY RON HOWARD You will not read a more important book about America this year.--The Economist A riveting book.--The Wall Street Journal Essential reading.--David Brooks, New York Times Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis--that of white working-class Americans. The disintegration of this group, a process that has been slowly occurring now for more than forty years, has been reported with growing frequency and alarm, but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck. The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.'s grandparents were "dirt poor and in love," and moved north from Kentucky's Appalachia region ...

To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the publication of The Lord of the Rings, a sumptuous full-colour art book containing the complete collection of almost 200 sketches, drawings, paintings and maps by J.R.R. Tolkien. As he wrote The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien's mental pictures often found expression in drawing, from rough sketches made within the manuscript to more finished illustrations. Only a few of these were meant for publication; most were aids to help Tolkien conceive his complex story and keep it consistent. Many do not illustrate the final text, but represent moments of creation, illuminating Tolkien's process of writing and design. In addition to pictorial sketches, numerous maps follow the development of the Shire and the larger landscape of Middle-earth, while inscriptions in runes and Elvish script, and 'facsimile' leaves from the burned and blood-stained Book of Mazarbul, support Tolkien's pose as an 'editor' or 'translator...

Se reúnen por primera vez en su solo volumen los textos Inquisiciones y Otras inquisiciones, que abren algunos de los temas que serán recurrentes en la estética del autor. Este feliz volumen, inédito como tal hasta hoy, se compone de dos libros dados a imprenta con más de un cuarto de siglo de diferencia, la que separa 1925 de 1952. No obstante, sus ensayos pertenecen a un mismo diálogo, el de Borges con la historia literaria, el del lector con el escritor. De entre ellos, «Menoscabo y grandeza de Quevedo» señala los rostros múltiples del autor; «La nadería de la personalidad» quiebra el conjunto del yo; «La flor de Coleridge» reivindica la supremacía de la tradición; y «Kafka y sus precursores», por ejemplo, cuestiona el sentido de las influencias. «La literatura no es agotable, por la suficiente y simple razón de que un solo libro no lo es. El libro no es un ente incomunicado: es una relación, es un eje de innumerables relaciones.» Product detail...
