Quando parliamo di libri, «tendiamo a considerare la nostra affezione in termini emozionali o cognitivi, anziché tattili o genericamente sensoriali. Tendiamo a sottolineare più l'incontro con il contenuto che la sensazione di averlo tra le mani, il fruscio delle sue pagine. Ma se pensate ai libri che sono stati importanti per voi, forse scoprirete che il loro contenuto era indissolubile dalla forma in cui vi erano stati presentati.» Perché i libri non sono solo contenitori di mondi, idee e personaggi letterari. Sono oggetti fisici, materiali, in grado di coinvolgere tutti i sensi e di sollecitare la nostra attenzione su aspetti - il peso, le dimensioni, la grafica della copertina, la qualità della rilegatura, l'odore della carta... - che si rivelano essenziali quanto le parole impresse sulla pagina. Che siano volumi rari e preziosi o tascabili da poco prezzo, nelle nostre mani i libri diventano altro. Li usiamo, li conserviamo gelosamente, li trattiamo con noncuranza. Ma come Il bibliotecario dell'Arcimboldo, noi siamo fatti dei libri che abbiamo letto, amato, smarrito, ricevuto in dono, scarabocchiato. Sebbene non siano sostanzialmente mutati in oltre un millennio, i libri hanno cambiato le nostre abitudini, talvolta le nostre vite. In certi momenti della storia hanno patito le ingiustizie e le umiliazioni destinate in realtà ai loro lettori. Sono stati censurati, bruciati sui roghi, rilegati in pelle umana, usati come talismani o come strumenti per predire il futuro. Hanno incendiato più di un'epoca, promettendo la salvezza o preannunciando la barbarie. Sono stati collezionati, trafugati, nascosti. Hanno varcato gli oceani in cerca di una vita migliore, facendosi beffe di muri e confini. Hanno creato legami unici e imprevedibili tra gli esseri umani. Hanno parlato di noi e per noi. Ed è proprio esplorando questa grande e duratura storia d'amore che Smith traccia un'affascinante e alternativa storia del libro e dei suoi lettori.

A manual of magical and mystical techniques for contacting the Goddess within • Draws from two thousand years of source material to demonstrate the ongoing reality of the feminine power and its relevance for today • Includes rituals, exercises, and techniques for evoking the Goddess • Explains how the dynamics of the sacred or magic circle serve as a guide to living harmoniously In this wide-ranging view of magic and ritual, Gareth Knight demonstrates the presence of the Goddess throughout Western esoteric traditions. From Greek myths and the Mysteries of Isis to the emergence of the cult of the Blessed Virgin and seventeenth-century Rosicrucian spiritual alchemy, he shows how the Goddess--the elemental consciousness of Earth--has revealed herself in different times and places. Honoring her many guises, Knight explores the powers of the Goddess as maiden, mother, initiator, protector, sorceress, and faery queen. Guided meditations on each of these qualities lead the practitioner into direct contact with the potent healing energy of the Divine Feminine. The author also offers rituals, exercises, and other practical tools for integrating the Western magical tradition with worship of the Goddess. He shows how we, and our planet, have suffered due to the repression of the feminine principle. For our own health, and that of our environment as well, we must recognize the power of the Goddess within to reconstitute and guide our existence.

INCLUDES SPECIALLY COMMISSIONED LINE DRAWINGS Little Tiger is not like other tigers. Not content to spend her days alone, roaming the snow forests of Siberia hunting prey, she prefers instead to ponder the ways of the world. One day, eager to discover her own place within it, she sets out on a remarkable journey to discover the secret of life, and to meet the creatures she has heard most about: humans. A moving tale of bravery and spirit, The Tiger and the Acrobat is a celebration of the power of friendship, and a testament to the courage it takes to be true to ourselves. 'This book is a beaut.'

1775-The conflict between the British Empire and the American colonies erupts in all-out war. Rebels and loyalists to the British Crown compete for an alliance with the Six Nations of the Iroquois, the most powerful Indian confederation, boasting a constitution hundreds of years old. In the Mohawk River Valley, Native Americans and colonists have co-existed for generations. But as the thunder of war approaches and the United States struggles violently into existence, old bonds are broken, friends and families are split by betrayal, and this mixed community is riven by hatred and resentment. To save his threatened world, the Mohawk war chief Joseph Brant sets off in a restless journey that will take him from New York to the salons of Georgian London at the heart of the British Empire.

Everything is made of stuff. Some things are made of paper, like this book. And some things are made of PLASTIC. If you look around you, plastic is everywhere. Even in places where it's not meant to be. If it drops to the ground, it doesn't rot away - it sticks around for ever. Our world is drowning in plastic, and it's a big problem. Award-winning author-illustrator Neal Layton is here to explain where plastic comes from, why it doesn't biodegrade, and why that's dangerous for animals and humans alike. But he's also FULL of ideas for how you can help! From giving up straws in juice cartons to recycling all we can and taking part in a beach clean, A Planet Full of Plastic will get young readers excited about how they can make a difference to keep Planet Earth happy. This brilliant non-fiction picture book, illustrated in Neal's trademark collage style, is perfect for readers aged 5-7 who love nature and want to help the environment.

The Book of Disquiet is one of the great literary works of the twentieth century. Written over the course of Fernando Pessoa's life, it was first published in 1982, pieced together from the thousands of individual manuscript pages left behind by Pessoa after his death in 1935. Now this fragmentary modernist masterpiece appears in a major new edition that unites Margaret Jull Costa's celebrated translation with the most complete version of the text ever produced. It is presented here, for the first time in English, by order of original composition, and accompanied by facsimiles of the original manuscript. Narrated principally by an assistant bookkeeper named Bernardo Soares - an alias of sorts for Pessoa himself - The Book of Disquiet is 'the autobiobraphy of someone who never existed', a mosaic of dreams, of hope and despair; a hymn to the streets and cafs of 1930s Lisbon, and an extraordinary record of the inner life of one of the century's most important writers. This new edition represents the most complete vision of Pessoa's genius.

Before leaving home he had engaged to send back dispatches to La Stampa; after appearing there, his "letters from India" were collected and issued posthumously as Verso la cuna del mondo (1917), now published in English for the first time. The extent of Gozzano's travels - to Ceylon, Goa, Agra, Jaipur - makes one wonder how the writer was able to visit all or even most of the places he so vividly describes.
