Autor best-seller com mais de um milh o de exemplares vendidosDesde a apresenta o, "Alma: o passado e o futuro daquilo que nos faz humanos", nova obra de Rodrigo Alvarez, deixa claro que esta ser uma "viagem sem destino certo e, provavelmente, sem volta", afinal, pensar sobre a pr pria exist ncia n o tem sido uma tarefa simples para a humanidade. A bordo do que o autor define como livro-nave, viajamos com ele, tentando compreender nossa ess ncia, esse indecifr vel sopro de vida que habita nosso corpo.Eis que lhe apareceu nas m os este livro. E veio com a proposta desafiadora de falar sobre algo que só diz respeito a você, algo que há muito tempo mexe com sua imaginação. O título provocativo e a imagem instigante na capa fizeram você achá-lo suficientemente interessante para abri-lo, e você está descobrindo que o escritor que outrora falou da história de Cristo, e escreveu também sobre a interessantíssima obsessão humana pela imortalidade, pretende lhe tirar o sono tratando de algo tão intrigante como o passado e o futuro da alma. Sei bem como é... Quando este dia começou você não fazia ideia de que tomaria esses rumos E agora lhe apareceu a indecorosa proposta de largar tudo e sair da órbita terrena por um tempo indeterminado para viajar pelas profundezas da sua existência. Mais que isso Dentro de poucas páginas, você vai conhecer algumas ideias fascinantes sobre o que pode acontecer com as almas humanas nos próximos anos, séculos ou milênios (pois é bem possível que você ainda esteja por aí). Entendo... Você ainda se pergunta por que deveria deixar de ler um novo romance daquela autora britânica, ou adiar o começo daquela série de tevê, deixar momentaneamente tudo o que lhe é conhecido para embarcar numa viagem que promete ser transformadora, mas nem sempre confortável. Pois é. A verdade, cara leitora, caro leitor... a verdade é que estou lhe pro- pondo uma viagem sem destino certo e, provavelmente, sem volta. É para entender melhor aquilo que somos (e nem sabíamos) ou aquilo que pensamos que somos, e também para repensar um monte de coisas que pensa- mos e ouvimos ao longo da história humana. Enquanto isso, no entanto, se outro alguém lhe aparecer de maneira muito eloquente, com explicações incontestáveis sobre as minúcias da alma, ou da mente (pois essas ideias às vezes se confundem), se lhe prometer soluções incrivelmente fáceis ou disser que sabe o que será de você no dia em que seu corpo decidir descansar... vá tomar um cafezinho, um chá de camomila, talvez. Mas... Respire fundo. E deixe que sua alma perceba por si só que está diante de mais uma tentativa de explicar um dos maiores mistérios do universo, só comparável à própria existência do espaço que nos abriga, e seu infinito tão magicamente incompreensível. Ah, sim, falaremos sobre a busca pela eternidade. Falaremos sobre como as novas tecnologias podem alterar nossa existência. Sobre a certeza de que nossa mente se conectará com as máquinas. Os planos para encarnar em androides (quando você poderá deixar de ser você). Transmissão de pensamento. Fantasmas. Transplantes de cérebro. Múmias. Corpos artificiais. Espíritos. Implantes. E também sobre como uma nova geração de profetas pretende conquistar nossas consciências. Falaremos sobre o tempo em que nossas almas tinham asas e voavam com os deuses, sobre a expectativa por um encontro divino, sobre a tentativa de criar seres inteligentes a partir de barro, matéria humana ou, mais recentemente, com circuitos eletrônicos tão pequenos que quase não os podemos ver.Budas elétricos... Cérebros sintéticos... E também robôs superiores a nós. São todos bem-vindos neste livro-nave. Pois, ainda que a ficção tenha levado nossa imaginação a

« Mon Alma, Alma des champs et des ruisseaux, des mares et des bois noirs, Alma dans mon cœur, Alma dans mon ventre. Je reste immobile dans le soleil d’or, les yeux levés vers l’intérieur de ma tête puisque je ne peux pas dormir, un jour mon âme va partir par un trou dans ma tête, pour aller au ciel où sont les étoiles. » Voici des histoires croisées, celle de Jérémie, en quête du dodo, l’oiseau jadis exterminé par les humains, et celle de Dominique, alias Dodo, l’admirable hobo, né pour faire rire. Leur lieu commun est Alma, l’ancien domaine des Felsen sur l’île Maurice, que les temps modernes ont changée en Maya, la terre des illusions.

A sweeping retrospective of Alma W. Thomas’s wide-reaching artistic practice that sheds new light on her singular search for beauty Achieving fame in 1972 as the first Black woman to mount a solo show at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Alma W. Thomas (1891–1978) is known for her large abstract paintings filled with irregular patterns of bright colors. This insightful reassessment of Thomas’s life and work reveals her complex and deliberate artistic existence before, during, and after the years of commercial and critical success, and describes how her innovative palette and loose application of paint grew out of a long study of color theory. Essays trace Thomas’s journey from semirural Georgia to international recognition and situate her work within the context of the Washington Color School and creative communities connected to Howard University. Featuring rarely seen theatrical designs, sculpture, family photographs, watercolors, and marionettes, this volume demonstrates how Thomas’s pursuit of beauty extended to every facet of her life—from her exuberant abstractions to the conscientious construction of her own persona through community service, teaching, and gardening.

Winner of the Whitbread Best First Novel of the YearIn his classic debut novel, Gordon Burn takes Britain's biggest selling vocalist of the 1950s and turns her story into an equation of celebrity and murder. Fictional characters jostle for space with real life stars - from John Lennon to Doris Day and Sammy Davis Jnr - as Burn, in a breathtaking act of appropriation, reinvents the popular culture of the post-war years. As beautifully written as it is disturbing, Alma Cogan remains a stingingly relevant exploration of the sad, dark underside of fame. Includes a new introduction by Adelle Stripe.

A lyrical novel-in-verse that takes us through the journey of coming of age in New York during the 80s. Alma's life is a series of halfways: She's half-Chinese, half-Jewish; her parents spend half the time fighting, and the other half silent; and she's halfway through becoming a woman. But as long as she can listen to her Walkman, hang out with her friends on the stoops of the Village, and ride her bike around the streets of New York, it feels like everything will be all right. Then comes the year when everything changes, and her life is overtaken by constant endings: friends move away, romances bloom and wither, her parents divorce and--just like that--her life as she knew it is over. In this world of confusing beginnings, middles, and endings, is Alma ready to press play on the soundtrack of her life?

Alma Winklegrin's Lower Denture Is Missing
"Alma Winklegrin's Lower Denture Is Missing" is an eclectic collection of short stories and prose works covering a wide variety of humorous and serious subjects as illustrated by titles such as: § Adversity University § A Ride With Grandma § Return Of The Warrior§ Apology To A Dead Enemy§ Spillane RevisitedAn excerpt from the short story "A Moment In The Sun" portrays the author's poetic style--"He had come to think, to be alone, and let his mind wander, to heal a recent hurt, to feel the bleak disconsolation of a momentary despair..." R. R. Roper experiments with unusual variations of fiction ranging from stories that are all dialog to stories that are all narration, a short play, reminiscences, and stories which could be categorized more as "tales" than short stories. The characters portrayed are truly defined by their very personal idiosyncrasies.
