Autobiography: 1907-1937, Journey East, Journey West
by Mircea Eliade translated by Mac Linscott Ricketts"Here finally are Eliade's memoirs of the first thirty years of his life in Mac Linscott Rickett's crisp and lucid English translation. They present a fascinating account of the early development of a Renaissance talent, expressed in everything from daily and periodical journalism, realistic and fantastic fiction, and general nonfiction works to distinguished contributions to the history of religions. Autobiography follows an apparently amazingly candid report of this remarkable man's progression from a mischievous street urchin and literary prodigy, through his various love affairs, a decisive and traumatic Indian sojourn, and active, brilliant participation in pre-World War II Romanian cultural life. "—Seymour Cain, Religious Studies Review

Autocorrect: Stories
by Etgar KeretFrom one of the most acclaimed masters of the short story form whom the New York Times calls &“Genius,&” a darkly funny collection of stories explores themes of identity, reality, and meaning.Etgar Keret is the world&’s most famous living Israeli writer, known for writing short stories that are lean and accessible in style, and whimsical, surrealist, and darkly funny in subject. His work explores life&’s smallest, most unremarkable interactions in ways that are profound and unusual. The characters populating his fiction have relatable work and relationship problems. They live in a world of ever-advancing technology, but it is always degraded by the baseness of human passions and brutality: a character&’s partner is a reality show contestant from a parallel dimension; another finds the asteroid they paid to have named after their wife is scheduled to collide with earth; and an elderly widow convinces a popular AI program to commit suicide.These stories speak to our current moment in time: the uncertainty and fragility—full of misunderstandings and miscommunications—while looking for reasons and the strength to find hope. His stories reveal the fault lines and uncomfortable truths in our society in a style that is memorably his own.

In Self-Empowerment 101, decodifichiamo le interpretazioni che interferiscono con la manifestazione della vita che si desidera; investighiamo i veri sequestratori di ostaggi, quelli che sabotano qualsiasi movimento oltre il bordo della vostra zona di benessere; paura del potere personale, paura del successo e paura del fallimento. Esplorerete il vostro stand per l'invulnerabilità, che limita la volontà di andare oltre la vostra zona di sicurezza. Indaghiamo anche la speranza, la fede e la conoscenza come compagni di viaggio essenziali. Potenziare se stessi per essere con ciò che più ti mette di fronte all'integrità e alla responsabilità è la linea di fondo per una vita autonoma.

Aux portes de Tanger
by Mois Benarroch Francis BernajuzanÀ la mort de leur père, la famille Benzimra découvre au travers de son testament l'existence d'un fils illégitime, le fruit de sa relation avec une femme musulmane au Maroc. Pour recevoir l'héritage, la famille se voit obligée de faire tout son possible pour le retrouver. Provenant de lieux aussi distincts que Jérusalem, Madrid, New York et Paris, ils débutent ainsi leur voyage vers Tétouan à la recherche de leur frère perdu ; un voyage dans lequel ils devront se confronter à leurs racines marocaines et à leur judaïsme, un voyage qui les fera réfléchir à leur identité ; une voyage dont ils ressortiront différents. Cette œuvre dévoile comment vit la société israélienne en plein conflit sépharade-ashkénaze, les liens et tensions entre le monde arabe et l'Europe, entre les cultures moyen-orientale et occidentale. Un monde complexe et nuancé dont on ne perçoit souvent que quelques traits grossiers sous l'œil des médias. Un roman qui traite d'un sujet peu connu, celui des juifs du nord du Maroc, un roman dont l'intrigue porte le lecteur entre humour et érotisme, qui l'emmène jusqu'à l'inceste, mais tout en lui laissant toujours une porte ouverte, un chemin de retour.

His patient awareness of the workings of the mind and the natural world will enable readers to deepen both their practice and their lives. Available Truth will surely stand the test of time as both sound teaching and elegant writing.
