Maimuţa goală

Editura: Art

Anul aparitiei: 2015

Această carte clasică a zoologului Desmond Morris îşi merită locul alături de Originea speciilor a lui Darwin, prezentându-l pe Om nu ca pe un înger căzut, ci ca pe o maimuţă înălţată, care dovedeşte un simţ al umorului, o energie şi o imaginaţie remarcabile, dar care nu este altceva decât un animal aflat în pericolul de a uita de unde a plecat. Cu intuiţiile sale penetrante legate de istoria începuturilor Omului, de viaţa lui sexuală, de obiceiurile lui şi de legăturile sale uimitoare cu lumea animalelor, Maimuţa goală este o carte-jalon deopotrivă provocatoare, incitantă şi durabilă. Maimuţa goală s-a vândut în peste 20 milioane de exemplare în toată lumea şi a fost tradusă în aproape toate limbile cunoscute. O carte care n-ar trebui să-i scape nici unei fiinţe umane animale.

Micul Prinţ

Editura: Art

Anul aparitiei: 2015

Micul Prinţ este o carte simplă şi profundă în acelaşi timp, o carte care se citeşte cu emoţie şi cu inima deschisă. Omuleţul cu fular auriu venit de pe asteroidul B 612 te îmblânzeşte, te face să zâmbeşti şi te pune pe gânduri. Dacă le spuneţi oamenilor mari: ... «Dovada că micul prinţ a este că era fermecător, că râdea şi voia o oaie. Când vrei o oaie e o dovadă că exişti», o să de din umeri şi-o să spună că astea-s copilării... Aşa sunt ei. Nu trebuie să le-o iei în nume de rău. Copiii să fie foarte îngăduitori cu oamenii mari. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Se spune că o carte renaşte la fiecare traducere. Micul Prinţ merită să se nască măcar odată la fiecare nouă generaţie. Ioana Pârvulescu
