Thinking, Fast and Slow

Thinking, Fast and Slow

One of the most influential books of the 21st century: the ground-breaking psychology classic - over 10 million copies sold - that changed the way we think about thinking'There have been many good books on human rationality and irrationality, but only one masterpiece. That masterpiece is Thinking, Fast and Slow' Financial Times'A lifetime's worth of wisdom' Steven D. Levitt, co-author of FreakonomicsWhy do we make the decisions we do? Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman revolutionised our understanding of human behaviour with Thinking, Fast and Slow. Distilling his life's work, Kahneman showed that there are two ways we make choices: fast, intuitive thinking, and slow, rational thinking. His book reveals how our minds are tripped up by error, bias and prejudice (even when we think we are being logical) and gives practical techniques that enable us all to improve our decision-making. This profound exploration of the marvels and limitations of the human mind has had a lasting impact on how we see ourselves. 'The godfather of behavioural science ... his steely analysis of the human mind and its many flaws remains perhaps the most useful guide to remaining sane and steady' Sunday Time

Spanzuratul de la Conakry

Spanzuratul de la Conakry

Cum poate fostul refugiat politic roman Aurel Timescu sa fie consul al Frantei? Cu accentul lui romanesc, aerul de anii ’30 si trecutul de pianist prin baruri, nu are nicio legatura cu Quai d’Orsay. De altfel, pierde vremea in posturi mediocre. De data asta e in Guineea, el, care nu suporta caldura. Traieste linistit, transpira, bea vin de Tokay si canta la pian. Cand, dintr-o data, se intampla singurul lucru din lume care ar putea sa-l scoata din amorteala: o moarte inexplicabila. Spanzurat de catargul iahtului sau, un barbat atarna in mijlocul radei portului Conakry. Ce-ascunde moartea aceasta? Niste evenimente misterioase? O dovada de dragoste care nu mai soseste? Sau poate un vis eroic venit de foarte departe? Orice ar fi, moartea lui ar ramane nepedepsita daca Aurel n-ar gasi oportunitatea sa-si duca marea batalie. O batalie impotriva nedreptatii. Romanul a castigat premiul Arsene Lupin pentru Literatura Politista in 2018. Jean-Christophe Rufin este laureat al premiului Goncourt 1997 si 2001. Umor fara limite. - Paris Match

Anna Karenina (limba engleza)

Anna Karenina (limba engleza)

'One of the greatest love stories in world literature' Vladimir NabokovThe heroine of Tolstoy's epic of love and self-destruction, Anna Karenina has beauty, wealth, popularity and an adored son, but feels that her life is empty until she encounters the impetuous officer Count Vronsky. Their subsequent affair scandalizes society and family alike, and brings jealousy and bitterness in its wake. Contrasting with this is the vividly observed story of Levin, a man striving to find contentment and a meaning to his life - and also a self-portrait of Tolstoy himself. This award-winning translation has been acclaimed as the definitive English version of Tolstoy's masterpiece. Translated by RICHARD PEVEAR and LARISSA VOLOKHONSKY with a Preface by JOHN BAYLE

Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature
