New PDF release: Il cielo ti cerca (Italian Edition)

By Richard Bach

In questa favola vera e illuminante, Richard Bach racconta, con los angeles limpida semplicità di sempre, una storia di sogni e illusioni, speranza e voglia di libertà.
Jamie Forbes è un pilota che non si stanca mai di volare: ha accumulato dodicimila ore di volo, ha guidato ogni tipo di aereo, e ogni volta che accende il motore prova los angeles stessa magica emozione. Oggi che ha i capelli bianchi, Jamie insegna a volare a quelli che, come lui, sognano di avere le ali. Finché, un mattino di settembre, durante un volo gli giunge il disperato SOS di una donna, Maria: è a bordo di un piccolo aereo e il pilota, suo marito, ha avuto un malore. Jamie le parla through radio, con dolcezza e fermezza, e le dà istruzioni in keeping with un atterraggio di fortuna. Con l. a. sola forza della mente, los angeles persuade di poter volare: los angeles ipnotizza. Proprio come ha fatto con lui il leggendario illusionista Blacksmith, che molti anni prima lo aveva persuaso a credere di essere prigioniero in una cella di pietra – mentre le mani tremanti di Jamie toccavano solo aria. Soltanto ora, di fronte all’atterraggio miracoloso di Maria, Jamie Forbes capisce quella vecchia lezione. E si rende contro dell’immenso potere della suggestione nelle nostre vite, imparando che dobbiamo essere noi a dare forma alla realtà, e non l. a. realtà, con le sue illusioni e i suoi inganni, a plasmare i nostri sogni e impedirci di viverli davvero. Perché, come il gabbiano Jonathan Livingston, se solo lo vogliamo, possiamo essere tutti liberi di volare.

Stauffer Stef's Marthas Gäste: Roman (German Edition) PDF

By Stauffer Stef

Martha erinnert sich. An ihren Mann, an ihre Brüder und Schwestern, an die Eltern und die Kinder. Martha erinnert sich an die vergangene Zeit, als die Verwandtschaft bei ihr im Haus ein- und ausging und sie am Stubentisch deren Geschichten erfuhr. Die kann sie heute noch alle erzählen. Etwa die, wie der Hermann Mechaniker werden wollte, weshalb das Friedi Schulden hatte, oder warum der Adolf nie geheiratet hat. Das weiss Martha alles noch. Welcher Tag heute ist, das weiss sie nicht. Auch nicht, ob sie bereits gegessen hat oder warum die Tabletten schon wieder fehlen. So alltäglich die geschilderten Episoden auch scheinen, steckt in jeder Geschichte doch eine Prise Enttäuschung, ein geplatzter Traum oder ein Ereignis, welches einen Einschnitt in der jeweiligen Biografie bedeutet. Es geht um Geld und Liebe, Tod und Zukunftspläne, Familie und Freundschaft. Eine exemplarisch anmutende Familiengeschichte in der Berner Landschaft der 1910er bis 1990er Jahre entsteht. Stef Stauffer lässt die dienstfertige Martha derart ungehemmt erzählen, dass Martha die schillerndste Persönlichkeit des Hauses wird. - Bildhafter Roman über das Erinnern und Vergessen - Reiz des absichtslosen Rückschauens - Kunstvoll verzahnte Zeit- und Erzählebenen
