Book Description
A triumphant story of a father and his little boy—and a love that knows no limits. Rob Coates is a survivor. He’d thought he’d won the lottery of life—a beautiful home, an incredible wife Anna, and their precious son Jack, who makes every day an extraordinary adventure. But when tragedy befalls his family, Rob becomes his own worst enemy, pushing away all he holds dear. With his world now suddenly just outside of his grasp, Rob turns to photography, capturing the beautiful skyscrapers and clifftops he used to visit—memories of the time when his family was happy. And just when it feels as though there’s nowhere left to turn, Rob embarks on the most unforgettable of journeys to reclaim the joy and love he thought he’d lost. Deeply emotional, beautifully written, and filled with tremendous heart, We Own the Sky is a soaring debut about the strength of the human spirit and the boundlessness of love. It is a stunningly honest reminder of life’s greatest gifts, showing how even a broken heart can learn to beat again.

Ideea de la care a pornit această piesă de teatru este "Mitul peșterii", al lui Platon. Această piesă este creată pentru a contrazice concluziile lui Platon. Este un "Mit al peșterii" inversat. Contrar lui Platon, omul nu poate ajunge și nici nu poate trăi în lumea ideilor, ci va încerca în permanență să rămână în profan. El nu poate recunoaște lumea idealului.

Book Description
„Unele dintre micile istorii adunate aici sunt basme, altele povestiri, altele, până la urmă, fragmente de jurnal. Toate sunt în definitiv amintiri, reale sau inventate. Nu imagini ale realităţii, ci ale minţii care o decupează din hiperrealitatea noastră de toate zilele. Au fost presărate până acum în multe dintre cărţile mele, în alte contexte şi cerând o altă lectură. M-am gândit să le strâng, pentru plăcerea cititorului, între coperţile unui singur volum, nu pentru că aş crede foarte mult – deşi cred – în calităţile prozei scurte, ci mai ales pentru că am o credinţă de neclintit în poezie. N-am prea avut de ales în alcătuirea acestei culegeri de «povestiri alese». Am lăsat doar să intre texte de o lungime rezonabilă, pe care m-am amuzat să le aşez într-o ordine oarecare, dar altfel le-am lăsat să colaboreze, să se alieze, să se înfrunte, să se submineze-ntre ele ca orice grup de necunoscuţi adunat între zidurile unei odăi. Sperând ca până la urmă să iasă de-aici mallarméanul «beau livre».“ (Mircea CĂRTĂRESCU)

Hello, God!
Author: Leonard Oprea
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1493107208
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
"The works of Leonard Oprea are within the sphere of philosophical thinking represented by S. Kierkegaard, V. Soloviov or Teilhard de Chardin. Though similar, his works are not inspired, nor influenced by the writings of these Christian philosophers. The special importance and the crystal-clear beauty of Leonard Oprea's meditations are revealed by his diamond ideal of humankind's Salvation through Faith. "Hello, God", the third volume of Trilogy of Theophil Magus, is an unique book worldwide. It inspires and thrills the reader making him ready for a sincere and responsible meditation on the human condition, now, at the dawn of the third millennium." (Vladimir Tismaneanu - philosopher, essayist and author) "Leonard Oprea's dominant perspective is one of cold objectivity, relying little on easy emotions, with the exception of hidden, profound feelings and questions. Themes are his life's purpose - the ultimate springs of human actions... Intelligence, laconic sarcasm, humor, right targeting. How could we not be indebted to the author? He put his talent of storytelling to serve as exhortation which is a healthy response in the presence of the morbid, the simplistic in the face of artificial, the man-loving of light against darkness and evil." (Nicolae Steinhardt - philosopher, essayist and author) "Leonard Oprea has no choice but to offer up his thoughts, his philosophies and experiences - his breathings - in these pages. In doing so, he reveals his being and the very nature of his soul. This is not an easy or simple process because words often fail. But fi nding just the right combination of nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs is a reward in itself because it elevates the mundane to higher, more ethereal levels... levels where one may fi nally develop the nerve to come and out say, "Hello, God."
