It is proof that each of us leads a life precious and fragile. His hope is that others can find inspiration and resilience from learning his story and chart a purpose and meaning against whatever odds they face.

Η Ιφιγένεια Χαραλάμπους, κυπριακής καταγωγής, είναι καθηγήτρια αρχιτεκτονικής τοπίου στο Πανεπιστήμιο Νεάπολις Πάφου και έχει αναλάβει με την ομάδα της την ανάπλαση των κήπων της Θεολογικής Σχολής της Χάλκης, ύστερα από πρόσκληση του Οικουμενικού Πατριάρχη. Ο Νικήτας Καράογλου, ναυτικός, εκδιωχθείς -πριν ακόμα γεννηθεί- από την Κωνσταντινούπολη λίγο μετά τα γεγονότα του Σεπτέμβρη του ΄55 λόγω της κυπριακής καταγωγής της μητέρας του, θα μεγαλώσει στις φτωχογειτονιές της Δραπετσώνας, δίπλα στο εργοστάσιο λιπασμάτων και στις αποπνικτικές μυρωδιές του, έχοντας κοντά του τον θείο του Κυριακό και τον γνωστό λατερνατζή της Πόλης, Νίκο Αρμάο, σε μια ασταθή πολιτικά εποχή, που θα αφήσει ανεξίτηλα σημάδια στην ψυχή του. Οι δύο αυτοί άνθρωποι, βαθύτατα πληγωμένοι από γεγονότα και ατυχείς συγκυρίες, θα συναντηθούν την ίδια ακριβώς χρονική στιγμή στην Χάλκη, στον κήπο ενός κατεστραμμένου αρχοντικού, πνιγμένου στον καταπράσινο ύσσωπο, αναζητώντας το παρελθόν και την πραγματική τους ταυτότητα, αγγίζοντας και μόνο την πρώτη λατέρνα της Πόλης και τα καλά κρυμμένα μυστικά της.

Ispunjena tipičnim, tačnim i veoma inspirativnim likovima, tragedija Dusice Labovic nosi odličan zaplet. I taman kad se učini prepoznatljivim - on nas zavara i skrene svoj tok. To čini čak i songovima koji nude rekonstrukciju cele jedne epohe i podsecanje na bastinu, a u isto vreme i reditelju daje mogucnost da protka zanr pitkocom i mirisima renesansnih komedija dell arte, onih poput Sekspirovih i Rucanteovih, braci po lakoci i melodiji... Lucia della Butua, nalik njegosevskoj poetici, sa takvim odabirom reči, misli i finesa, govora i rime, dijaloga koji je sočan i savremen, spada u veliku klasičnu literaturu sa jakom i aktuelnom metaforom na političko nacionalnu odgovornost i epskim elementima, na koje bi bio ponosan svaki stanovnik grada Budve. Suzana Petričevic

To everyone close to Drake Cassidy, shy, bespectacled Evan O'Donoghue seems to be a complete mismatch; to look at the two of them together, they appear to have nothing in common. Thirty-year-old Drake is a self-employed auto mechanic with a busy garage and two passions; during the day, he practices one of those passions in his coveralls, working on cars. In the evenings, he indulges his other true passion of music, playing with his friends and bandmates on a little stage in the back of his garage. On weekends, he likes to take his vintage Porsche to car shows...and almost always wins the prize for "Best in Show"... Evan O'Donoghue is an innocent...completely untouched; he's never been kissed, never been in love. At twenty-eight, he has almost given up hope of finding love...almost. Shy and introverted, when Evan isn't working at the posh menswear store he manages, or at the Chestnut Hill library in the evening, he's reading or writing poetry in the notebook he always keeps with him. His own secret passion is the Classic Mercedes automobile he inherited, and after countless hours of restoration, Evan decides to take his Mercedes to a local car show, where he meets confident but gentle Drake Cassidy. They are so different...total opposites...or are they? Looks can often be deceiving, though; something stirs, and in the end, it's what is in the heart...two wild, secretly rebellious hearts, that matters...

Un' opera rarissima di Guido Manacorda, intellettuale nazional-cattolico conosciuto in special mondo per aver fatto conoscere a fondo l' opera di Richard Wagner in Italia e la connessa cultura tedesca. Il libretto costituisce una antologia di articoli dell' Autore scritti nell' ottobre 1953 sul Giornale di Trieste , alla vigilia incandescente della " Rivolta di Trieste" duramente repressa nel sangue dalle forze di occupazione anglo-americana della città che volevano impedire il ricongiungimento della città con la madre patria italiana. In questi articoli Manacorda ripercorre la storia di Trieste sottolineando la identità italiana della città e il suo bimillenario legame culturale, storico, linguistico con l' Italia. Pagine controcorrente quella volta, ma anche oggi, dove nuovi imperialismi cercano di annettere Trieste a realtà geografiche e culturali che non sono mai state le sue. Prima edizione assoluta. Di Guido Manacorda La Lanterna ha già pubblicato, anch' esso finora inedito, " Anima e volto delle democrazie moderne", studio critico verso i sistemi politico/ideologici elaborati dalle logge massoniche.

Ce nouveau livre, L'évolutionnisme théiste. Ses racines et ses conséquences, aborde l'évolution sous un angle autre que ne le fait l'Introduction apologétique au premier commandement. L'idole de notre temps : la science quantitative moderne, ouvrage, qui s'attaquait aux aberrations logiques et scientifiques d'une macroévolution à la fois naturaliste, matérialiste et athée.Le livre entre vos mains cherche par contre à réfuter un évolutionnisme religieux qui se prétendrait théiste ; cette théorie prouvant l'évolution du monde par l'action divine elle-même. Pour ce faire l'auteur remonte aux sources médiévales du nominalisme de Guillaume d'Occam - son rejet des universaux - qui, en détruisant les bases conceptuelles de l'ordre de l'univers, refuse toute stabilité à la réalité, en particulier aux espèces.Il débute par une suite d'aphorismes traitant des racines et des conséquences d'une évolution revêtant un masque religieux d'origine divine . Le lecteur est ainsi ramené à la source évolutionniste lointaine de bien des erreurs actuelles, théologiques, philosophiques et scientifiques.De telles aberrations religieuses proviennent de l'héritage volontariste, subjectif et idéaliste d'Occam. Elles aboutissent à une mystique vitaliste, autocréatrice, celle de cette évolution créatrice au c¿ur de la philosophie de Henri Bergson. C'est ainsi que l'évolutionnisme théiste en vient à refuser tout ordre à la création, aboutissant alors à une déstabilisation générale, dont celle d'une intelligence apte à comprendre le monde. La suite de l'ouvrage reproduit le débat de J.-M. Berthoud avec Henri Blocher et réfute, pour terminer, les positions contradictoires d'Alvin Plantinga qui, tout en rejetant le naturalisme scientiste, en vient à remplacer la Parole divine, en tant qu'ordonnatrice du réel, par le fantôme d'une évolution imaginaire.

What you are about to read between the covers of this book is the fifth volume of the collected works of Paolo Cavalli.We first encountered Paolo through his published works and then through several online forums (including some of the non-public ones). In all of these he graciously shared with us his wisdom and experience. Over the years we have exchanged literally hundreds of emails with him in which we have discussed creative and artistic topics in addition to personal and private matters.We have come to know him as a man whose literary skills and empathy are only surpassed by his helpfulness and generosity. We have learned so much from his creative genius, and gained so much inspiration from our conversations, that claiming he influenced our work would be a huge understatement.You will therefore understand how delighted we were when Paolo kindly agreed to allow us to republish his works in printed format. We have always held the view that Paolo's works were not as widely known or appreciated as they might be or, indeed, to the extent that they deserved. Many of the ideas and concepts that you'll find within these pages are not only genuine and original but also reveal the mind-set of a deep and unconventional thinker.The first volumes of The Cavalli Files comprise Paolo's previous published works. The final volumes, under the title Notes from the Lord's Diary, will offer you something really special: Drafts, outlines and expose¿s from Paolo's original sketch books! Parts of these are his 'works in progress', ideas and concepts that have never before seen the light of day.When Paolo sent us his material we set about revising the text and adjusting the layout. Then we thought long and hard about whether or not we should get it proofread and copy edited. Finally, we decide against it. If you didn't already know you could probably guess from his surname alone that English is not Paolo's native language. And even though his skills in the English language are extraordinary you may still spot some Italian syntax and sentence construction.And as you hear the Italian accent coming through the text you may find yourself transported to the sweeping vistas of the land of fine arts - Italia. This voice will, we hope, help you to connect with Paolo as if he was speaking to you personally in your own room.So here we go! We proudly present the fifth volume of The Cavalli Files: Notes from the Lord's Diary 1!
