Beschreibung

"Too much sanity may be madness—and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!"

Enter the world of the original mad genius, Don Quixote. Miguel de Cervantes' towering masterpiece is not just the first modern novel; it's a timeless, hilarious, and deeply moving saga that has influenced literature for over four centuries.

Alonso Quijano, a Spanish nobleman, reads too many chivalric romances and decides to resurrect the age of knights. Renaming himself Don Quixote of La Mancha, he sets off on absurd adventures, mistaking windmills for giants, innkeepers for lords, and peasant girls for his noble lady, Dulcinea.

Accompanied by his pragmatic (and increasingly philosophical) squire, Sancho Panza, Quixote's quest is a brilliant exploration of:

Illusion vs. Reality: The tragicomic battle between what is and what we wish it to be.

The Power of Imagination: A defense of dreams and idealism in a cynical world.

The Dawn of the Novel: A foundational text of Spanish literature that effortlessly blends humor, adventure, and profound commentary.

Whether you're engaging with a modern translation like Edith Grossman or the classic Smollett, the core truth remains: Don Quixote is an essential read.

Dare to dream the impossible dream. Click "Buy Now" and join the knight-errant and his loyal squire on their hilarious journey.

    Gorgias is a philosophical dialogue written by Plato, set in Athens in the early 5th century BC. The dialogue is named after the renowned Greek sophist Gorgias of Leontini, who is the main interlocutor in the conversation. 
    The dialogue begins with a discussion about the nature of rhetoric and its relationship to truth. Socrates, the main protagonist of the dialogue, argues that rhetoric is merely a skill of persuasion, and that its practitioners do not necessarily possess knowledge of the subject matter they are discussing. Gorgias and his student Polus disagree, and argue that rhetoric can be used to achieve both knowledge and persuasion. 
    The discussion then turns to the question of whether or not it is better to suffer injustice or to commit injustice. Socrates argues that it is better to suffer injustice than to commit it, and that it is always better to do what is right rather than what is expedient. Gorgias and Polus, however, disagree and argue that it is better to be the one who is in power and able to do as they please. 
    The dialogue concludes with a discussion about the nature of happiness and whether or not it can be achieved through the pursuit of power and wealth. Socrates argues that true happiness comes from living a life of virtue and wisdom, rather than from external circumstances such as wealth and power. 
    Overall, Gorgias is a profound exploration of some of the most fundamental questions of philosophy, including the nature of truth, justice, and happiness. It remains one of Plato's most famous and influential works, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of philosophy.

    As a Man Thinketh

    As a Man Thinketh James Allen - Allen's books illustrate the use of the power of thought to increase personal capabilities. Although he never achieved great fame or wealth, his works continue to influence people around the world, including the New Thought movement.    A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts," is one of the quotes from James Allen's classic self help books, As a Man Thinketh. Published in 1902, it provides many more such insightful concepts on the power of thought and its effect on a human being's personality and behavior.    This volume is more of a literary essay than a complete book and its title is based on a Biblical proverb, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Taking this piece of ancient wisdom further, James Allen explores the far-reaching effects of the inner workings of a person's mind and motivation. He proposes that projecting one's own desires, goals and needs in the outer world can provide clues to a person's character.    Thinking and the subconscious mind are assumed to be hidden from the outside world, and hence powerless to change the course of events or circumstances of one's life. However, in this book, Allen presents ideas that can harness this subterranean force and bend our lives to our will if we so choose.    James Allen was a British writer who wrote mostly about everyday philosophy for the lay person and was in a sense, a pioneer of the self help movement. His books and poems were inspirational pieces, meant to help people realize their own powers and take charge of their lives rather than being mere tools in the hands of destiny. Born in a working class family in Leicester, England, Allen and his younger brother grew up in straitened circumstances. His father, a factory worker, traveled to America in search of a better job, but was tragically attacked and killed by criminals in New York. James, the older son, was compelled to leave school and seek work back in England. He found employment as a secretary to a stationer and later worked as a journalist. He later discovered a deep and enduring interest in spiritual matters when he began working as a writer with a magazine devoted to spiritual themes. His first book From Poverty to Power was published in 1901. Subsequently, he also launched his own spiritual magazine.    As a Man Thinketh was his third and most famous book. It became an instant bestseller and the sales of this tiny volume were so great that they allowed Allen and his family to retire to the country, buy a house and live in relative comfort for the rest of their life.    The book's language is very simple and the message presented here will certainly provide a basis for further thought and meditation.
