Перевод, увы, с английского и местами несколько странный (например, там, где уместно было бы, возможно, говорить о powers как о «силах» — в смысле, скажем, сверхспособностей,...

I found this read as interesting as his other books I have read. The writing style is typical of the era. He has a unique view on the chakra system, not only energetically but also how "sees" them interrelate with the physical. Depending the readers level of awareness, his style of writing may invoke all...

A challenging, but enlightening and exhilarating read.
For a novice in hermetic philosophy like myself, it was an eye-opening experience to read material that doesn't just tell you, but that reflects in your day to day life. I would lie if I said I understood the weight of everything said in...

It is not science-fiction, although it cites myths on which that literary form has fed. Nor is it a collection of bizarre facts, though the Angel of the Bizarre might well find himself at home in it. It is not a scientific contribution, a vehicle for an exotic teaching, a testament, a document, a fable....

The first time I saw this book was on the shelves of my university friend, long long long ago. Recently, because of my research on Alchemical Putrefaction, I decided to take it up again in the original french (not easy reading for someone who is not a native speaker).

Qualcosa di immensamente remoto dall’oggi apparve più di tremila anni fa nell’India del Nord: il Veda, un «sapere» che comprendeva in sé tutto, dai granelli di sabbia sino ai confini dell’universo. Distanza che si avverte nel modo di vivere ogni gesto, ogni parola, ogni impresa. Gli uomini...
L'anima di Hegel e le mucche del Wisconsin: Una riflessione su musica colta e modernità
| Author | Alessandro Baricco |
| ISBN | 8811674980 |
Prema Hegelu, muzika treba da izdigne dušu iznad sebe same, treba da je vine iznad svog sadržaja i stvori jedno područje gde će, oslobođena svih patnji, moći nesmetano da uroni u pročišćeni osećaj same sebe.

Nei primi anni del dopoguerra, mentre si andava delineando quella integrazione planetaria nel nome della tecnica che oggi è sotto gli occhi di tutti, Ernst Jünger elaborò questo testo, apparso nel 1951, oggi più affilato che mai. La figura del Ribelle jüngeriano corrisponde a quella dell'anarca,...

Quello di cui i Vichinghi fanno parte è un mondo popolato e dominato da uomini duri e coraggiosi, ma animato altresì dalla presenza di dèi possenti e di eroi solari che condividono, assieme a fiere figure femminili, vicende complesse e travagliate, un paesaggio in cui si muovono esseri sovrannaturali...

Enlightenment ideals of a society rooted in liberationist reason and morality were trampled in the wake of the savagery of the Second World War. That era's union of cold technology and ancient hatreds gave rise to a dark, alternative reason--an ethic that was value-free and indifferent with regard...
