L’Ame du monde
Quelle force mystérieuse a poussé sept sages un lama tibétain, un moine chrétien américain, une mystique indienne, un kabbaliste israélien, une philosophe néerlandaise, un maître soufi africain, une chamane de Mongolie, un maître taoïste chinois à se réunir à Toulanka, monastère perdu du Tibet ? Pressentant l'imminence d'un cataclysme planétaire, ils sont venus transmettre à Tenzin et Natina, deux jeunes adolescents, les clés fondamentales de la sagesse. Au-delà des divergences culturelles et historiques de leurs traditions respectives, leur message philosophique et spirituel répond aux questions cruciales que se pose tout être humain : Pourquoi suis-je sur terre ? Comment réussir ma vie et être heureux ? Comment passer de la peur à l'amour ? Loin des croyances dogmatiques, ils ouvrent le chemin simple et concret d'un humanisme spirituel qui aide à vivre.
Islam: A Short History
In the public mind, Islam is a religion of extremes: it is the worldÆs fastest growing faith: more than three-quarters of the worldÆs refugees are Islamic: it has produced government by authoritarian monarchies in Saudi Arabia and ultra- republicans in Iran. Whether we are reading about civil war in Algeria or Afghanistan, the struggle for the soul of Turkey, or political turmoil in Pakistan or Malaysia, the Islamic context permeates all these situations. Yet who really understands the central tenets of this faith, or why so many people around the world have turned to æfundamentalismÆ? Karen ArmstrongÆs elegant and concise book traces how Islam grew from the other religions of the book, Judaism and Christianity: introduces us to the character of Muhammed: and demonstrates that for much of its history, the religion has been a force for enlightenment that promoted liberties for women and allowed the arts and sciences to flourish. Islam shows how this progressive legacy is today often set aside as the faith struggles to come to terms with the economic and political weakness of most of its believers and with the forces of modernity itself.
Le cardinal et le philosophe
Le cardinal Ravasi et Luc Ferry discutent et partagent leur point de vue sur le fait de croire ou de ne pas croire, sur les questions radicales qui touchent aux grandes interrogations autour de la vie et de la mort, la vérité et le mensonge, l'amour et la douleur, le bien et le mal. D'un côté, le cardinal propose une traversée des grands thèmes du christianisme. Selon lui, la vraie théologie est sur une ligne de crête entre deux abîmes - l'approche purement historique et factuelle, ou le mysticisme irrationaliste -, dans lesquels il ne faut pas tomber. De son côté, le philosophe s'interroge sur l'importance considérable de ce qu'il reste du message évangélique dans notre société laïque et moderne, notamment pour ceux qui, comme lui, ont perdu la foi. Deux regards et réflexions : un dialogue nourri et captivant.

No sleep for twenty hours. No food for ten. And a ward full of soon-to-be mothers… Welcome to the life of a midwife.Life on the NHS front line, working within a system at breaking point, is more extreme than you could ever imagine.

Tannhäuser: (English National Opera Guide 39)
English National Opera Guides are ideal companions to the opera. They provide stimulating introductory articles together with the complete text of each opera in English and the original. What can explain Wagner's obsession with Tannhäuser,which he first conceived in 1845 and still considered unfinished at his death in 1883? Describing of the struggle of a man torn between erotic love and spiritual fulfilment,the opera contains the kernels of all his later works: man's need for love and artistic satisfaction,his desire for an existence beyond death,the operation of memory and the nature of madness. The essays in this volume examine the legends which Wagner chose to weave into his text,while Carolyn Abbate also considers the effect of his many revisions upon the score,pointing out that the initial idea already involved a contrast of musical language to focus the conflict.
