Aprender a vivir: Filosofía para mentes jóvenes
by Luc FerryPensado para jóvenes y adultos que quieren saber qué es la filosofía y cómo puede esta ayudarnos a vivir mejor y a ser más libres. Voy a contarte la historia de la filosofía. No toda, por supuesto, pero sí sus cinco grandes momentos. Para cada una de estas etapas, te ofreceré como ejemplo una o dos formas de ver el mundo, de modo que puedas empezar a leer por ti mismo, si te apetece, a alguno de sus pensadores. También quiero hacerte una promesa: voy a exponerte todas estas ideas de forma muy clara, sin jerga, yendo a lo esencial, a lo más apasionante que hay en ellas. Si me sigues, acabarás sabiendo de verdad qué es la filosofía y por qué resulta irremplazable a la hora de aclararnos los múltiples interrogantes que se plantean en torno a cómo podemos o debemos vivir nuestras vidas. Aprender a vivir, a dejar de temer los diversos rostros de la muerte o, simplemente, aprender a superar la banalidad de la vida cotidiana, las preocupaciones y el tiempo que pasa, este fue el primer objetivo de las escuelas de la Antigüedad griega. Merece la pena escuchar su mensaje, porque las filosofías del pasado nos siguen hablando.

But instead of ridiculing the King, Viner befriends him - perhaps more ... Aquarius is a deeply humane story of power, manipulation, ambition, and burgeoning sexuality. Viner is a complex character - easy to like and despise in equal measure. His story will not easily be forgotten.

Arabella and the Battle of Venus (The Adventures of Arabella Ashby #2)
by David D. Levine&“Arabella embarks on another entertaining quest in an imaginative setting that combines 19th-century seafaring with pulp-style space adventure.&” —Publishers Weekly Though happy to be back on her home planet of Mars, Arabella&’s peace is shattered when she receives distressing news. Her long-absent fiancé Capt. Prakash Singh, commander of the Honorable Mars Company airship Diana, has been taken as a prisoner of war on Venus, the very planet where the exiled Napoleon has fled. Desperate to rescue Singh any way she can, Arabella pays off the gambling debts of a rakish privateer captain in order to arrange passage on his vessel. But when they&’re captured by a French squadron and taken to Venus, Arabella finds herself reunited with Singh, as a captive in the same brutal prison-camp. In a spacefaring adventure filled with interplanetary espionage, cosmic combat, and mind-blowing inventions, Arabella finds herself torn between two very different—yet ultimately courageous—men. Together they plot a daring conspiracy to expose Napoleon&’s dangerous plan: the building of a secret weapon that would make the French emperor virtually unstoppable.

But that liberty is not to last. Finding Mars much too unladylike for her daughters, Arabella&’s mother takes the girls back to London, where they&’re sure to find suitable husbands among the ton.

When she learns of his death, she also uncovers her cousin&’s devious plot to travel to Mars, murder her brother, and claim the family inheritance for himself. To foil his dastardly plans, Arabella disguises herself as a boy to gain employment on an airship to Mars. Though she is valued by the captain for her talent with the automaton navigator he invented, she must survive French privateers, mutiny, and her own unmasking, only to reach a Mars embroiled in rebellion . . . &“If Edgar Rice Burroughs, Jules Verne, and Patrick O&’Brien had sat down together to compose a tale to amuse Jane Austen, the result might be Arabella of Mars.
