Ryan Holiday: Courage Is Calling: Fortune Favors the Brave

Ryan Holiday's bestselling trilogy--The Obstacle Is the Way, Ego is the Enemy, and Stillness is the Key--captivated professional athletes, CEOs, politicians, and entrepreneurs and helped bring Stoicism to millions of readers. Now, in the first book of an exciting new series on the cardinal virtues of ancient philosophy, Holiday explores the most foundational virtue of all: Courage.

Almost every religion, spiritual practice, philosophy and person grapples with fear. The most repeated phrase in the Bible is "Be not afraid." The ancient Greeks spoke of phobos, panic and terror. It is natural to feel fear, the Stoics believed, but it cannot rule you. Courage, then, is the ability to rise above fear, to do what's right, to do what's needed, to do what is true. And so it rests at the heart of the works of Marcus Aurelius, Aristotle, and CS Lewis, alongside temperance, justice, and wisdom.

In Courage Is Calling, Ryan Holiday breaks down the elements of fear, an expression of cowardice, the elements of courage, an expression of bravery, and lastly, the elements of heroism, an expression of valor. Through engaging stories about historic and contemporary leaders, including Charles De Gaulle, Florence Nightingale, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Holiday shows you how to conquer fear and practice courage in your daily life.

You'll also delve deep into the moral dilemmas and courageous acts of lesser-known, but equally as important, figures from ancient and modern history, such as Helvidius Priscus, a Roman Senator who stood his ground against emperor Vespasian, even in the face of death; Frank Serpico, a former New York City Police Department Detective who exposed police corruption; and Frederick Douglass and a slave named Nelly, whose fierce resistance against her captors inspired his own crusade to end slavery.

In a world in which fear runs rampant--when people would rather stand on the sidelines than speak out against injustice, go along with convention than bet on themselves, and turn a blind eye to the ugly realities of modern life--we need courage more than ever. We need the courage of whistleblowers and risk takers. We need the courage of activists and adventurers. We need the courage of writers who speak the truth--and the courage of leaders to listen.

We need you to step into the arena and fight.

Wossala Rozina: Konyhakönyv

This is a manual for a well-functioning kitchen, lazy weekdays, when you have the time, the fridge opening at midnight, rational shopping, and life itself.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a refreshing, vibrant cookbook - both in terms of its content and appearance. It's as if we're not even in Hungary! It's very modern, world-class, smart, just like Rozina. I want to prepare everything from it immediately!"

Zsófia Mautner - gastro blogger, specialist writer

"There is no doubt that gastronomy is developing in Hungary. In order for the home dining culture to be able to keep up with it, we need books in which restaurant tricks and practices are economical and work well in the home environment. That's why you need Rozina's book!

Boldizsár Ildikó: Meseterápia - Mesék a gyógyításban és a mindennapokban

"That's exactly what happened to me," I heard from old people several times after listening to stories. Younger children say: "I also want to be so brave (beautiful, clever, persistent)". And the patient waiting for recovery sighs like this: "I want to live like they do in fairy tales". The unfortunate circumstance is that today there are no more community storytelling occasions and fairy tales are increasingly being forgotten, depriving us of the opportunity to connect with our own desires and possibilities through fairy tales, on the one hand, and with our spiritual roots on the other hand, and through these roots to consider the value system the basis of our existence, which is not only specific to a narrower community, but can be considered universal.

Márai Sándor: Föld, Föld!... - A teljes változat

Regarding one of Sándor Márai's major works, the Egy polgár vallomásai, literary history has so far agreed on two things: the text dated 1934-35 was censored by Márai in 1940 and published in a truncated form, and the direct continuation of the confessions was the Föld,föld,!...memoir noted down in 1949. The former follows the "biography" from childhood to the 1930s, the latter starts with 1944 and leads to 1948, the emigration. The writing Hallgatni akartam was published in 2013 and half a year later followed the uncensored version of the restored Egy polgár vallomásai was published, which presented both versions as a synchronized text. The seemingly truncated (and actually is) Hallgatni akartam however, overlaps in many aspects with the original, manuscript chapters of Föld, föld!...(repetitions, unfolding topics, etc), which Márai first carefully put aside, then took out again, and finally removed from the pages of the well-known Föld, föld!...And everyone believed that Egy polgár III., which also appears in the diary entries, is the known Föld, föld!..., but it is not so.

The new edition puts an end to the important literary question, while providing another literary sensation with the publication of the unknown ten chapters.

Márai actually did write the third part of Egy polgár vallomásai in 1949 in Posillipo, but he never published it in this form. This manuscript originally contained the material of the volume published under the name Hallgatni akartam, as well as the first chapter of the original Föld, föld!...and then an unknown second chapter, which ends the life story in 1948. In 1970, Márai returned to the manuscripts, selected the first chapter from among the papers, rewrote it, left out Hallgatni akartam and the second chapter, then expanded it with two more chapters: this became the well-known volume entitled Föld, föld!..., while nobody knew anything about the intermediate chapters. Until now.

This edition publishes the missing parts, which completes the Márai confession.
