Florence: Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon awakes in a hospital bed with no recollection of where he is or how he got there. Nor can he explain the origin of the macabre object that is found hidden in his belongings.

A threat to his life will propel him and a young doctor, Sienna Brooks, into a breakneck chase across the city. Only Langdon’s knowledge of the hidden passageways and ancient secrets that lie behind its historic facade can save them from the clutches of their unknown pursuers.

With only a few lines from Dante’s Inferno to guide them, they must decipher a sequence of codes buried deep within some of the Renaissance’s most celebrated artworks to find the answers to a puzzle which may, or may not, help them save the world from a terrifying threat…

Who Moved My Cheese? is a simple parable that reveals profound truths. It is an amusing and enlightening story of four characters who live in a “Maze” and look for “Cheese” to nourish them and make them happy.

Two are mice named Sniff and Scurry. And two are “Littlepeople” — beings the size of mice who look and act a lot like people. Their names are Hem and Haw.

“Cheese” is a metaphor for what you want to have in life — whether it is a good job, a loving relationship, money, a possession, health, or spiritual peace of mind. And the “Maze” is where you look for what you want — the organization you work in, or the family or community you live in. In the story, the characters are faced with unexpected change. Eventually, one of them deals with it successfully, and writes what he has learned from his experience on the Maze walls.

When you come to see “The Handwriting on the Wall,” you can discover for yourself how to deal with change, so that you can enjoy less stress and more success (however you define it) in your work and in your life.

نقدم إلى القارئ العزيز رائعتين من روائع الكاتب الكبير ديستويفسكي، وهما من قصص فترة شبابه. إنهما قصتا حب من طراز عجيب نادر، يُذيب القلب رقةً وتأثرًا بمصائر المساكين من ذوي المشاعر المرهفة، وقد أبى الحب إلا أن ينزل عليهما نزول الكوارث المصمية!
ففي الليالي البيضاء قصة شابٍّ منطوٍ على نفسه، التقى الحب بعد يأس من الدنيا، فإذا الدنيا تنقلب نعيمًا، يدوم أربع ليالٍ، ثم إذا النعيم وهمًا، وإذا الحقيقة حلمًا أطاحت به اليقظة.
وفي القلب الواهن شاب فقير مسكين ضعيف به عيب جسماني جعله ييأس من السعادة. وفاجأته السعادة في هجمة تجاوزت آماله فزلزلت هذه الهجمة، أو هذا الطوفان أعصابه وقلبه الرقيق.
لقد نجح ديستويفسكي في مزج جمال الفن بأسمى المشاعر.

An international drug kingpin with a cult following, Pablo Escobar is legendary for his infamy, but he began his life with rather modest roots.

As Escobar gained wealth and prestige off of the cocaine trade, he became a kind of populist Robin Hood to the masses. He often used his money for philanthropist purposes such as building parks and soccer stadiums and even helping to pave highways. At first the government was willing to turn a blind eye to his business practices, but once Escobar gained a seat as an official alternate representative in the Colombian Congress everything changed. And by 1993 he was on the run, not just from the Colombian government but also from the CIA, rival drug cartels, paramilitary groups, and the ever-infamous vigilante death squad Los Pepes. Cornered and with nowhere left to run, the man who used to be known to raise the roof would spend his last few moments of life bleeding to death on a rooftop. This is the story of Pablo Escobar.

كتاب ممتع يصل بالأمور إلى جذورها ويربطها بها. والمتعة التي ينضح بها هذا الكتاب تأتي من الطموح اللا محدود الذي ما فتيء يحرك مخيلة الإنسان ويثير هواجسه ويطلق خبايا نفسه شعرا ورسما ونحتا وموسيقى. عنيت هذا الهاجس الملح الذي يربط الإنسان بالله وبالقوى التي أوجدها ليفسر بها كل شيء والتي لم يستطع العلم، بكل ما أوتي من قوة إقناع ونفاد حجة إلا أن يكتشف هذه الظواهر ويحاول تفسيرها واستخدامها بالشكل الأفضل الذي يناسبه. أما سلوكه فكان قلعة عصية عليه فما زالت “المعتقدات القبلية” ضاربة جذورها في سلوكنا، كما كان الأمر عليه في أجدادنا. المتعة الكبرى التي تكمن في الكتاب هو أنه مرآة لنا نرى فيه أنفسنا الموغلة في التاريخ ونرى أنفسنا نتشارك مع جدودنا فيما اكتشفوه فنكتشفها على حقيقتها.
