ill., br. "Soltanto nel dicembre 2006 il regime cinese ha riconosciuto che la quasi totalità degli organi umani venduti viene espiantata dai corpi dei prigionieri uccisi. Il traffico degli organi umani è iniziato nel 1984 con almeno 100 ospedali specializzati in questa macabra pratica. Nel 2007 sono oltre 600 gli ospedali in cui si trapiantano gli organi dei condannati a morte. L'incremento di questi ospedali e il graduale aumento del numero di crimini puniti oggi con la pena capitale avvalorano il sospetto che in Cina si commini con facilità questa misura di pena per ottenere un maggior numero di organi da commerciare." (dalla prefazione di Harry Wu)
br. "La vita genera la vita, senza fine": recita così l'antichissima massima cinese che François Cheng ha calligrafato sulla copertina del libro. In quei caratteri che "tuonano come colpi di cembalo" una sapienza plurimillenaria ci trasmette intatto il senso del nostro essere qui e ora. Noi viventi ci aggiriamo nell'indissolubile reame di vita e morte, ma l'unico modo per dire pienamente sì alla vita è lasciare che la morte si riveli come la nostra dimensione più segreta e personale, il nostro bene più prezioso. Con un rovesciamento prospettico che toglie ogni cupezza e temibilità al mistero dei misteri, Cheng fa traboccare di vita le grandi questioni religiose, metafisiche e morali, dal creato alla bellezza alla presenza del male. Gli basta sfiorare le tradizioni di Oriente e Occidente, cedendo spesso la parola ai poeti e in ultimo, quasi un canto mormorato, a se stesso, al proprio pensiero poetante. Nessuna magniloquenza viene a turbare questa maniera affabile di intrattenere degli amici. Nel tono di Cheng, lontano migrante cinese diventato accademico di Francia, riconosciamo l'universale vitalità dell'appello francescano a "nostra sorella morte".
64 pages. In small communities throughout the western world, from the 1880s until the development of the hand-held camera in the twentieth century, the town portrait photographer was the chronicler of his time. Duncan Donovan (1857-1933) of Alexandria, Glengarry County, Ontario, was typical. He portrayed the ceremonial events of life from birth to death, and the stages in between. Author has chosen the most appealing of Donovan's photographs from the plates that have survived. Presents life in a small Ontario town and its environs in the early 20th century. Unmarked.

brossura Questo libro ti convincerà che potrai tornare a sorridere, a vivere. Elaborare il lutto è il percorso più doloroso e difficile della vita; è una sorta di interruzione, un black-out della vita stessa, per chi lo percorre. "Come noi non viviamo per sempre, il lutto, e tutto il dolore e il senso di disfacimento che questo trascina con sé, non durano per sempre". Il libro è pregno di messaggi molto profondi e avvolge il lettore in una carezza, in un abbraccio, rappresentando quel counseling emotivo necessario per accettare la perdita della persona cara, e soprattutto per continuare a portarla con te. Perché il lutto non si annulla, cambia.

ill. Un delicato racconto che affronta l'altrettanto delicato tema del distacco. La primavera sta per arrivare e Pupazzo di neve è preoccupato perché a breve si scioglierà. Pupazzo non può sopravvivere facendo ginnastica, non può andar via come gli uccelli migratori... Insieme all'amico Uccellino, deve compiere una scelta difficile: farà diventare il suo cuore di ghiaccio per mantenere la sua forma? oppure continuerà a provare affetti e sentimenti, rischiando di trasformarsi in acqua?
Adulti e bambini di fronte a lutti, separazioni e distacchi in famiglia. Autori: Maria Varano.
