Talvisodan hyytävimmät taistelutKristian Kososen kuudes sotaromaani Summan teräsmyrsky kertoo talven 1940 ankarimmista taisteluista yhdessä Suomen puolustuksen strategisesti tärkeimmässä paikassa.Sotamies Karppinen tarkkailee öistä maisemaa Karjalan kannaksella. Hän yrittää olla paleltumatta tulipalopakkasessa ja siirtelee rähjääntynyttä karvalakkiaan vuoroin korvalta toiselle, jotta kuulisi pienimmänkin rasahduksen.Karppinen ei näe vilaustakaan korpraali Hietarinteestä ja sotamies Mukkulasta, jotka kersantti Männistö lähetti lähimaastoon varmistamaan pioneerien miinoitustöitä. Hietarinne ja Mukkula osaisivat kyllä hoitaa hommansa huomaamattomasti, mutta nyt yö on liian hiljainen. Venäläisillä on pahat mielessä.Kristian Kosonen kuvaa kuudennessa sotaromaanissaan talven 1940 ankarimpia taisteluja Summan rintamalla, missä helppoon läpimurtoon luottanut puna-armeija joutui kokemaan nöyryyttäviä tappioita. Kertomus herättää eloon jäätävän kylmän talven ja niukoin resurssein varustetut miehet, jotka taistelivat uskomattoman itsepintaisesti idän jättiläistä vastaan.

"Kiltti vai vai aito?" on kirja, jossa valotetaan kiltteyden vaikutuksia ihmissuhteisiimme, rakkaus- ja työelämäämme ja ylipäätään siihen, miten suhtaudumme elämään ja meitä ympäröivään todellisuuteen. Psykoterapeutti Andrea Mathews innostaa meitä tutkiskelemaan, miten voisimme vapautua toisten ihmisten pakonomaisesta myötäilemisestä ja ulkopuolisten paineiden aiheuttamista syyllisyydentunteista. Hän rohkaisee meitä olemaan uskollisia sille, minkä sisimmässämme tunnemme oikeaksi ja aidoksi. Andrea Mathews viitoittaa meille tien siihen vapauden olotilaan, jossa luonnollisesti osaamme kuunnella tunteidemme viestejä, kehittää intuitiotamme ja tehdä päätöksiä aidosta sisäisestä olemuksesta käsin.
The Summons of Love

The Summons of Love

Mari Ruti

Columbia University Press
2011
sidottu
We are conditioned to think that love heals wounds, makes us happy, and gives our lives meaning. When the opposite occurs and love causes fracturing, disenchantment, and existential turmoil, we suffer deeply, especially if we feel that love has failed us or that we have failed to experience what others seem so effortlessly to enjoy. In this eloquently argued, psychologically informed book, Mari Ruti portrays love as a much more complex, multifaceted phenomenon than we tend to appreciate-an experience that helps us encounter the depths of human existence. Love's ruptures are as important as its triumphs, and sometimes love succeeds because it fails. At the heart of Ruti's argument is a meditation on interpersonal ethics that acknowledges the inherent opacity of human interiority and the difficulty of taking responsibility for what we cannot fully understand. Yet the fact that humans are often irrational in love does not absolve us of ethical accountability. In Ruti's view, we must work harder to map the unconscious patterns motivating our romantic behavior. As opposed to popular spiritual approaches urging us to live fully in the now, Ruti treats the past as a living component of the present. Only when we catch ourselves at those moments when the past speaks in the present can we keep ourselves from hurting the ones we love. Equally important, Ruti emphasizes transcending our individual histories of pain, an act that allows us to face the unconscious demons that dictate our relational choices. Written with substance and compassion, The Summons of Love restores the enlivening and transformative possibilities of romance.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A pillar of the community who towered over local law and politics for forty years, Judge Atlee is now a shadow of his former self--a sick, lonely old man who has withdrawn to his sprawling ancestral home in Clanton, Mississippi. Knowing that the end is near, Judge Atlee has issued a summons for his two sons to return to Clanton to discuss his estate. Ray Atlee is the elder, a Virginia law professor, newly single, still enduring the aftershocks of a surprise divorce. Forrest is Ray's younger brother, the family's black sheep. The summons is typed by the Judge himself, on his handsome old stationery, and gives the date and time for Ray and Forrest to appear in his study. Ray reluctantly heads south to his hometown, to the place he now prefers to avoid. But the family meeting does not take place. The Judge dies too soon, and in doing so leaves behind a shocking secret known only to Ray . . . and perhaps to someone else.

In her adventurous new novel, New York Times Notable author Leila Aboulela delivers a lively portrait of three women who embark on a journey of self-discovery while grappling with the conflicting demands of family, duty, and faith. When Salma, Moni, and Iman--friends and active members of their local Muslim Women's group--decide to take a road trip together to the Scottish Highlands, they leave behind lives often dominated by obligation, frustrated desire, and dull predictability. Each wants something more out of life, but fears the cost of taking it. Salma is successful and happily married, but tempted to risk it all when she's contacted by her first love back in Egypt; Moni gave up a career in banking to care for her disabled son without the help of her indifferent husband; and Iman, in her twenties and already on her third marriage, longs for the freedom and autonomy she's never known. When the women are visited by the Hoopoe, a sacred bird from Muslim and Celtic literature, they are compelled to question their relationships to faith and femininity, love, loyalty, and sacrifice. Brilliantly imagined, thoughtful and wise, Bird Summons confirms Leila Aboulela's reputation as one of our finest contemporary writers.
