Описание: The runaway French bestseller hailed by the "New York Times" as "a survivor's guide to life in the chattering classes." If civilized people are expected to have read all important works of literature, and thousands more books are published every year, what are we supposed to do in those awkward social situations in which we're forced to talk about books we haven't read? In this delightfully witty, provocative book, a huge hit in France that has drawn attention from critics around the world, literature professor and psychoanalyst Pierre Bayard argues that it's actually more important to know a book's role in our collective library than its details. Using examples from such writers as Graham Greene, Oscar Wilde, Montaigne, and Umberto Eco, and even the movie "Groundhog Day," he describes the many varieties of "non-reading" and the horribly sticky social situations that might confront us, and then offers his advice on what to do. Practical, funny, and thought-provoking, "How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read" is in the end a love letter to books, offering a whole new perspective on how we read and absorb them. It's the book that readers everywhere will be talking about--and despite themselves, reading--this holiday season.

Описание: Among all the noise, strife, debates, and politics of the last two millennia, the message of Christ has persisted through those who live it. This message is not a doctrine or a secret teaching, but a loving, engaged way of being which Jesus taught plainly and directly. Within this anthology, five authors describe what it means to them to be living this message in their life and time. The authors are:
Leo Tolstoy, the famed late 19th century nihilist who converted late in his life;
J.C. Kumarappa, who struggled for Indian independence with Gandhi, and was known as "Gandhi's economist";
Bayard Rustin, who brought nonviolence and Martin Luther King, Jr., into the American Civil Rights Movement;
Hugh Hollowell, who founded a parish for the impoverished in Raleigh, North Carolina; and
Magdelene Harrison, a prominent young Quaker scholar who rediscovered the Quaker symbol of "going naked as a signe".
