Questo libro si propone di insegnare il controllo del corpo e della mente proprio della disciplina yoga, affinché la vita di ognuno assuma un senso compiuto. Una leggenda indiana racconta di un pesce che ascoltava di nascosto il dio Shiva insegnare alla sua sposa Parvati i segreti dello yoga. Il pesce fu scoperto e il dio lo scacciò. Cercando un luogo in cui vivere arrivò sulle coste dell'India e appena si avvicinò alla terra il pesce diventò un uomo! Gli abitanti lo accolsero e per ringraziarli l'uomo insegnò loro lo yoga. Il significato di questa leggenda sottolinea un concetto base della filosofia yoga, che consiste nel riprendere contatto con la nostra corporeità per poter accrescere noi stessi, come fece il pesce. Yogi Ramacharaka è uno pseudonimo associabile a uno dei più importanti autori di crescita personale e spirituale di inizio Novecento, William W. Atkinson.

DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SPEDIZIONE ENTRO 12 ORE DALL'ORDINE. OTTIME CONDIZIONI, MAI SFOGLIATO, LIEVISSIMI SEGNI DEL TEMPO. SENZA SOVRACCOPERTA. La storia dell'eterno triangolo può mutare radicalmente, grazie ai prodigi della scienza; perché, se due amici amano la stessa ragazza, e se questi due amici sono degli scienziati, e conoscono il grande segreto scientifico della clonazione... bene, il triangolo può inaspettatamente diventare quadrilatero, aggiungendo un paradosso sentimentale a un paradosso scientifico. Ma in questa umanissima, commovente opera, scienza e sentimento si mescolano continuamente, proponendoci un dubbio ossessivo sui limiti della scienza, e sui limiti dell'animo umano, dubbi che s'insinuano mano a mano che lo straordinario esperimento scientifico prosegue, mostrando nuovi risvolti che i ricercatori non avevano previsto. Sorprendente e originale, autenticamente sentito e intenso, questo romanzo viene considerato uno dei fondamentali classici della fantascienza inglese: e anche se l'azione non si svolge nell'immensità degli spazi, né in un remoto futuro, né ai confini del passato, lo sguardo che l'opera getta sulle scienze del nostro tempo - la biologia e l'elettronica - e sul problema fondamentale del nostro tempo - e cioè la comprensione dell'essere umano - è appassionante e avvincente come la più sfrenata avventura negli spazi.
