Par Thich Nhat Hanh. 2011
Bestselling author and Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh transforms an ancient folktale into a timeless parable of a young woman…
who dares to risk her life for her faith. Born to an aristocratic family in rural Vietnam, Kinh Tam's uncommon beauty and intelligence were obvious to all she encountered. From an early age she was drawn to the teachings of Buddha and the rewards of a monastic life, but to please her family she agreed to walk the traditional path of marriage. Throughout her marriage, Kinh Tam's mind was devoted to her husband but her heart never waivered from her true calling. She wanted to be a monk. And yet Buddhism was still new to Vietnam and temples accepted only men for ordination. Making a decision that would forever change her life, Kinh Tam left town, disguised herself as a man, and joined a monastery as a novice. Despite the many challenges of living as a man, Kinh Tam thrived and became a beloved member of the community. Years of profound joy and peace passed until a local woman accuses the novice of fathering her unborn child. Kinh Tam is torn between two impossible choices: keep her secret and endure brutal punishment or reveal the truth that would prove her innocence but put an end to her spiritual path.Facing the unbearable with the boundless heart of Buddha, her choice forever changes her life, her country, and her faith. In spare, elegant prose, Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us that we, too, face our own injustices and suffering, and by connecting with love, we can, like Kinh Tam, discover a mind and heart that are peaceful, happy, and free.The Alchemist: A Graphic Novel (Plus Ser.)

ensayos breves.Uno de los libros más populares que jamás haya salido de la pluma de C. S. Lewis fue escrito en nombre del diablo, un demonio mayor, experimentado en el arte de atraer a sus &“pacientes&” en la tierra a su propia condenación al servicio de &“nuestro padre abajo&” y capacitar a otros para que hagan lo mismo.La correspondencia del diablo con su sobrino, un aprendiz de diablo, llegó a manos de Lewis, dijo, por una ruta que no quiso revelar, y muchos lectores han terminado la colección anhelando más de las ideas que obtuvieron de su sabiduría.Para gran resistencia de Lewis, este discurso de después de la cena, dado por el diablo a una clase de demonios que se graduaban en una universidad en el infierno, salió a la luz unos años después de la publicación de las cartas originales. Ahora, 80 años después, el discurso se reproduce en su totalidad una vez más, junto con una breve colección de otras obras menos conocidas pero perennes de Lewis.Mucha gente se habrá olvidado de la única &“secuela&” oficial que existe de &“el diablo&”, el 80 aniversario de la publicación de &“El diablo&” es la oportunidad perfecta para traer esto de vuelta. Este volumen incluye también siete brillantes ensayos de Lewis, incluido el famoso El peso de la gloria.Screwtape Proposes a ToastThe only official sequel, penned by Lewis himself, to the ever-popular &‘Screwtape Letters&” – published alongside other short essays.One of the most popular books ever to come from the pen of C.S. Lewis was written in the name of Screwtape, a senior devil, experienced in the art of luring his &“patients&” on earth to their own damnation in service of &“our father below&” – and training others to do the same.Screwtape&’s correspondence with his nephew, an apprentice devil, came into Lewis&’s hands, he said, by a route he would not disclose, and many a reader has finished the collection longing for more of the insights they gained from its wisdom.Much to Lewis&’s resistance, this after-dinner speech, given by Screwtape to a graduating class of demons at a college in hell, came to light a few years after the publication of the original letters. Now 80 years later, the speech is reproduced in full once more, along with a short collection of Lewis&’s other lesser-known, but perennial works.Many people will have forgotten about the only official &“sequel&” that exists to Screwtape; the 80th anniversary of Screwtape&’s publication is the perfect opportunity to bring this back. This volume includes also seven brilliant essays of Lewis, including the famous &“The Weight of Glory.&”La torre oscura (y otras historias): Una colección de relatos futuristas

Tan poderosa, inventiva y profunda como sus obras teológicas y filosóficas, La torre oscura es una lectura ideal para los fanáticos de J. R. R. Tolkien, el viejo amigo y colega de Lewis.The Dark TowerPublished for the first time in Spanish, The Dark Tower reveals another side of Lewis' creative mind and his fascination with reality and spirituality.This signature book is a repackaged edition of the futuristic collection of short stories by C.S.
