Non sono molti gli autori che possono dire di aver ideato un genere letterario. Alain e tra questi, con linvenzione del propos, che Sergio Solmi rese nella sua traduzione col termine ragionamento, da intendere nel senso che aveva nellitaliano antico, quello di discorrere, parlare. Si tratta di componimenti brevi di regola da 400 a 600 parole scritti in una prosa piana e arguta, priva di tecnicismi, elegante senza ricercatezze. I contenuti sono i piu vari, basta scorrere lindice di questo volume: dallosservazione affettuosa del mondo naturale e del lavoro, al ricordo personale, alla penetrante riflessione psicologica sui caratteri umani, allattualita politica del tempo, fino alla trattazione filosofica in miniatura. Nel 1960 Solmi, che gli era stato amico, ne scelse centouno per unantologia che rimane una delle poche traduzioni di Alain in lingua italiana, e che qui riproponiamo in una versione revisionata e con una postfazione di Roberto Brigati.

Nel 2005 Filippo, malato di Fibrosi Cistica, si sottopone a un intervento delicatissimo, un doppio trapianto di organi, polmoni e fegato.A ventanni da quella che ha segnato una vera e propria rinascita, consegna alle stampe i pensieri di allora, di quei mesi vissuti tra paura e speranza, in attesa del trapianto. Sono le parole di un giovane arrabbiato e spaventato, affamato di vita, consumato nel corpo ma dallo spirito combattivo; la sua e una testimonianza forte, un racconto autentico di fragilita, resistenza e continua ricerca di senso. Questo Diario invita il lettore a guardare la vita con uno sguardo piu attento, vulnerabile e vero, riconoscendo la preziosita di ogni istante nel tempo che ci e dato, in un disegno carico di mistero.Filippo Cherubini, classe 1982, e architetto e lavora al CNR di Sesto Fiorentino.

In verita vi dico che chiunque dira a questo monte: Spostati e gettati nel mare, e non dubitera in cuor suo, ma credera che cio che dice avverra, gli sara fatto. Percio vi dico: tutto quello che domandate nella preghiera, credete di averlo gia ricevuto e lo otterrete. (Marco 11:23-24). Questi sono giorni in cui abbiamo bisogno che la nostra fede venga rafforzata, in cui abbiamo bisogno di conoscere Dio. Dio ha stabilito che i giusti vivano per fede. Ogni uomo puo essere trasformato dalla fede, non importa quanto sia incatenato. So che la parola di Dio e sufficiente. Una sola parola da Lui puo cambiare una nazione. La Sua parola e da sempre e per sempre. È attraverso lingresso di questa parola eterna, di questo seme incorruttibile, che rinasciamo e entriamo in questa meravigliosa salvezza. Luomo non vive di solo pane, ma deve vivere di ogni parola che procede dalla bocca di Dio. Questo e il cibo della fede. "La fede viene dallascolto, e lascolto dalla parola di Dio". Ovunque gli uomini cercano di screditare la Bibbia e di privarla di tutto il miracoloso. Un predicatore dice: "Beh, sapete, Gesu aveva predisposto in anticipo che quel puledro fosse legato li e che gli uomini dicessero esattamente quello che dissero". Vi dico che Dio puo organizzare ogni cosa senza avvicinarsi. Puo pianificare per voi, e quando pianifica per voi, tutto e pace. Tutto e possibile se credete. Un altro predicatore disse: "Per Gesu fu facile sfamare la folla con cinque pani. I pani erano cosi grandi a quei tempi che era semplice dividerli in mille pezzi ciascuno". Ma si dimentico che un ragazzino aveva portato quei cinque pani fin li nel suo cestino del pranzo. Nulla e impossibile per Dio. Limpossibilita sta in noi quando misuriamo Dio con i limiti della nostra incredulita. Abbiamo un Dio meraviglioso, un Dio le cui vie sono incomprensibili e la cui grazia e potenza sono illimitate. Un giorno mi trovavo a Belfast e incontrai uno dei fratelli della comunita; mi disse: "Wigglesworth, sono turbato. Ho sofferto molto negli ultimi cinque mesi. Cera una donna nella mia comunita che sapeva sempre invocare la benedizione del cielo sulle nostre riunioni. È una donna anziana, ma la sua presenza e sempre fonte di ispirazione. Cinque mesi fa, pero, e caduta e si e rotta il femore. I medici le hanno messo un gesso, che dopo cinque mesi hanno rimosso. Ma le ossa non si erano sistemate bene, e cosi e caduta di nuovo e si e rotta il femore." Mi accompagno a casa sua, e vidi una donna sdraiata in un letto sul lato destro della stanza. Le dissi: "E adesso, che ne sara?" Lei rispose: "Mi hanno rimandata a casa incurabile. I medici dicono che sono cosi vecchia che le mie ossa non si saldano piu. Non ce nutrimento nelle mie ossa e non potrebbero mai fare nulla per me, e dicono che dovro stare a letto per il resto della mia vita". Le chiesi: "Credi in Dio?" Lei rispose: "Si, da quando ho saputo che eri venuto a Belfast, la mia fede si e ravvivata. Se pregherai, credero. So che non ce potere sulla terra che possa far saldare le ossa della mia coscia, ma so che nulla e impossibile per Dio". Le chiesi: "Credi che ti incontrera ora?" Lei rispose: "Si".

DescriptionLena Marsh built her life around two things: her thriving lingerie boutique and a man who could never fully be hers.For five years, she told herself Ethan Caldwell was worth the cost the secrecy, her mothers silence, the nagging certainty that she would always come second. When he finally announces hes leaving his wife, Lena allows herself to believe the ledger is about to balance.Then his wife walks into the shop. And everything Lena thought she understood about desire, sacrifice, and the quiet damage of triangles begins to unravel.Half a Heart, Half a Life is a piercing, emotionally devastating novel about three people locked in a relationship that can only end in loss and the question of whether love, even real love, can justify the debt it leaves behind.Some things, once paid for, cannot be returned.

Few works have shaped the history of philosophy as profoundly as Aristotles Metaphysics. In this foundational text, Aristotle asks the deepest questions human reason can pose: What does it mean for something to exist? What is substance? What are cause, form, matter, potentiality, and actuality? And is there a first principle behind all things?Moving beyond the study of nature, Aristotle investigates being as being, laying the groundwork for centuries of metaphysical, theological, and scientific thought. His reflections on essence, change, causality, and the Unmoved Mover became central to medieval philosophy, Christian theology, Islamic and Jewish thought, and the entire Western intellectual tradition. Demanding, rigorous, and endlessly influential, Metaphysics remains one of the great monuments of philosophical inquiry. It is a book for readers who wish to confront the ultimate foundations of reality and enter into dialogue with one of the most powerful minds of antiquity. A timeless classic for students, scholars, and all readers interested in philosophy, ontology, and the search for first principles.Aristotle (384322 BC) was one of the greatest philosophers of ancient Greece and one of the most influential thinkers in the history of Western thought. A student of Plato and later tutor to Alexander the Great, he wrote on an extraordinary range of subjects, including logic, ethics, politics, biology, rhetoric, poetry, physics, and metaphysics.His works laid the foundations for many disciplines and shaped philosophical, scientific, and theological reflection for more than two thousand years. In Metaphysics, Aristotle explores the deepest questions concerning being, substance, causality, change, actuality, potentiality, and the first principles of reality.

This book examines the essential generative AI tools that business owners must integrate to maintain competitiveness, drawing on data showing 71% of organizations now use GenAI regularly while highlighting the gap between adoption and strategic implementation. It explores how tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Grammarly, and specialized AI platforms transform core functions from content creation to customer service, backed by adoption statistics and use case analyses. Rather than promoting specific technologies, the work provides a framework for evaluating AI tools based on business objectives, integration complexity, and ROI potential, emphasizing the need for leaders to develop AI literacy and adaptive strategies in an era where technological advancement outpaces organizational readiness.

This book explores how the quiet rhythm of consistent, small actions often yields deeper change than occasional bursts of intense effort. It invites you to notice the everyday momentslike a brief pause to breathe, a single line written, or a gentle return to a routine after a breakand see how they accumulate into lasting shifts. Rather than prescribing a formula, it offers space to reflect on what feels sustainable and kind for you. The tone is warm and understanding, honoring the effort you already make and encouraging curiosity about what feels true, not what you think you should do. By focusing on the gentle accumulation of daily choices, the book helps you develop a steady sense of capability that grows softly over time.

This book examines how machine learning applications confer enterpriselevel capabilities on small businesses while probing the inherent limits of such algorithmic advantage. It treats the empowerment not as a straightforward gain but as a shift that reconfigures internal logic and external relations, inviting inquiry into where the advantage ceases to hold. Three systems illustrate this tension. First, automated decisionmaking tools redistribute authority across roles, flattening traditional hierarchies and creating new dependencies on data quality and model transparency. Second, realtime analytics reshape information flow patterns, enabling rapid responses but also amplifying noise when signals are misinterpreted, which affects coordination between units. Third, incentive structures evolve as performance metrics become tied to algorithmic outputs, prompting alignment between shortterm gains and longterm resilience while raising questions about accountability and adaptability. Each system demonstrates how the advantage extends only so far before countervailing forces emerge, requiring continual reassessment of the underlying assumptions. For German and European enterprises, the evolving balance between algorithmic power and its limits informs longterm strategic positioning. Organizations must monitor how technological shifts interact with regulatory frameworks, market dynamics, and organizational culture to sustain competitiveness without overreliance on any single capability.
