Listening to the voice of the heart

Elian Bittencourt

Listening to the Voice of the Heart is an invitation to revisit your self-image, values, and to recognize your hidden desires, your secret dreams. At the same time, it brings the romanticism of one who inhabits their own dream and recognizes their weaknesses without dwelling in them.
It is an appeal to sensitivity, whether in artistic creation and appreciation, or in attention to affection and the beauty of everyday life.
I hope that by diving into these thought pills each reader can revisit themselves and be provoked to listen to the voice of their own heart, searching within themselves the necessary motivations to recover the right to dream.
Written by Elian Bittencourt, a musician who composes or a composer who writes, this work understands and accepts contradiction as an inseparable part of human existence. As such, it can be a visit to the inner world of a Brazilian artist living in Portugal, as well as a personal compass and a reminder of important values that are learned throughout a lifetime.

White Out - The Secret Life of...

Michael W. Clune

The tenth-anniversary edition of Michael Clune's classic memoir of addiction and recovery: "Dreamily exact . . . sensual and hilarious . . . One of the year's best books" (The New Yorker). 
 
 
 
With dark humor, and in crystalline prose, Clune's account of life inside the heroin underground is like no other. Whisking us between the halves of his precarious double life—between the streets of Baltimore and the college classroom, where Clune is a graduate student teaching literature—we spiral along with him as he approaches rock bottom: from nodding off in a row house with a one-armed junkie and a murderous religious freak to having his life threatened in a Chicago jail while facing a felony possession charge. 
 
 
 
After his descent into addiction, we follow Clune through detox, treatment, and finally into recovery as he returns to his childhood home, where the memory disease and his heroin-induced white out begin to fade. White Out is more than a memoir. It is a rigorous investigation that offers clarity, hope, and even beauty to anyone who wants to understand the disease or its cure. This tenth anniversary edition includes a new preface by the author. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.
