The Poppy War : Book 1

Winner of the Reddit Fantasy Award for Best Debut 2018 ‘The best fantasy debut of 2018’ – WIRED A brilliantly imaginative epic fantasy debut, inspired by the bloody history of China’s twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic. When Rin aced the Keju – the test to find the most talented students in the Empire – it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn’t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who had hoped to get rich by marrying her off; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free from a life of servitude. That she got into Sinegard – the most elite military school in Nikan – was even more surprising. But surprises aren’t always good. Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Fighting the prejudice of rival classmates, Rin discovers that she possesses a lethal, unearthly power – an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of psychoactive substances and a seemingly insane teacher, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive – and that mastering these powers could mean more than just surviving school. For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And while most people calmly go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away

Jon Fosse and the new theatre

The author's original, interdisciplinary perspective on Jon Fosse's drama is often audacious, but her research is conducted with skill and scientific circumspection. She draws certain metaphorical and intuitive connections between quantum physics and Jon Fosse's drama that later serve as investigative tools for the applied analysis of the selected plays by means of concepts such as entanglement, spacetime and so on. Right from the introduction and the first chapters, the working hypotheses are coherently and boldly correlated with the process of close reading as a chosen method of analysis. (Sanda Tomescu Baciu) This book looks at Fosse’s plays as books to read, and the analysis will, in spite of the fact one identifies old themes like love, death, communication, relationships, betrayal, regret, suffering, remembering or childhood in Fosse’s plays, focus on the way one experiences each of these, as the Fosse’an perspective shines a new light on them. It is this sensibility and privilege that the reader is offered and that becomes even more personal as reading progresses. Moreover, when reading, one is connected to one’s past, so a return to the self (past self) happens, which can be an emotional experience. This is the case with any good literature, however, this is even more the case with Jon Fosse, since his literature urges the reader to intervene, to contribute with his/her own rhythm, breath and time in the pauses that are also a reflection on the information acquired and the experience just undergone. (Anamaria Babiaș-Ciobanu

Psihologia Sinelui

Psihologia Sinelui, întemeiată de Heinz Kohut, este una dintre cele mai importante orientări din psihologia, psihoterapia și psihanaliza contemporană. Pornind de la tulburările narcisice de personalitate, frecvente în clinica sa din America anilor ’50, Kohut se distanțează de teoria pulsiunilor elaborată de Freud pe baza tratării nevrozelor, foarte răspândite în Europa începutului de secol. În centrul psihologiei sinelui se va afla linia narcisică a dezvoltării psihice, pe care Kohut o consideră prioritară. Sinele, obiectele sinelui, oglindirea, transferul narcisic iau locul principalelor concepte freudiene. Importantele modificări teoretice se concretizează în înnoiri ale tehnicii, între care privilegierea empatiei în raport cu interpretarea se situază pe primul plan.Sintetizând întreaga concepție a lui Kohut, prelegerile interactive susținute de el la Chicago la mijlocul anilor ’70 se adresează psihoterapeuților, psihiatrilor, psihologilor, precum și tuturor celor interesați de cunoașterea de profunzime a omului.Heinz Kohut (1913–1981), psihiatru și psihanalist, a predat la Universitatea din Chicago și a fost președinte al Asociației Americane de Psihanaliză și vicepreședinte al Asociației Psihanalitice Internaționale. Cărțile sale cele mai importante sunt: The Analysis of the Self (1971), The Restoration of the Self (1977) și How Does Analysis Cure? (1984).Paul Tolpin şi Marian Tolpin sunt psihanaliști formatori și supervizori la Institutul de Psihanaliză din Chicago

'A full throttle, adrenaline-laced espionage page-turner . . . Get ready to blast off and enjoy the ride!'Jack Carr, former Navy SEAL Sniper and #1 New York Times bestselling author of the James Reece Terminal List series'Continuous action, Mach-speed mayhem, sharp intrigue, and well-rounded characters - what more could you want from a thriller?'Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The 9th Man and the Cotton Malone seriesIsrael, late 1973. As the Yom Kippur War flares into life, a state-of-the-art Soviet MIG fighter is racing at breakneck speed over the arid scrublands below . . . and promptly disappears. NASA Flight Controller and former US Navy test pilot Kaz Zemeckis watches the scene from the ground - and is quickly pulled into a dizzying, high-stakes game of spies, lies and a possible high-level defection that plays out across three continents. The prize is beyond value: the secrets of the Soviets' mythical 'Foxbat' MiG-25, the fastest, highest-flying fighter plane in the world and the key to Cold War air supremacy. But every defection is double-edged with risk, and Kaz must tread a careful line between trust and suspicion. Ultimately, he must invite the fox into the henhouse - bringing the defector into the heart of the United States' most secret test site - and hope that, with skill and cunning, the game plays out his way. For Chris Hadfield's second heart-stopping thriller, we move from Space to another rich and exciting part of Chris's CV: his time as a top test pilot in both the US Air Force and the US Navy, and as an RCAF fighter pilot intercepting armed Soviet bombers in North American airspace. Full of insider detail, excitement and political intrigue drawn from real events, The Defector brings us the nerve-shredding rush of aerial combat, as told by one of the world's best fighter pilots.
