The Holy Mountain is a blessed place for the entire Church. There are monks there who practise the Jesus prayer and struggle to live the ascetic life which is actually life according to the Gospel. Thus they become bearers of the Tradition of the Church. It is with such a monk - ascetic that the author of this book discusses.The book has been a classic of its kind in Greece where it its now in its ninth edition. It has been also translated into French, Arabic and Spanish.The translation into English was undertaken as a response to the requests of many English speaking friends with the belief that it has a lot to offer to all our brethren in Christ who thirst and seek for intimate communion with God; for the transformation and unification of their inner world, through the energy of the grace of God, and who desire to become dwellings of the most Holy Spirit. The author of this book is himself an admirer of the neptic tradition of the Church which he also presents in his other books.Arch..

"About Greece" contains useful information on contemporary Greece. The aim of this volume is not to praise the country but rather to present an objective overview. Moreover, this is a precondition for the involvement of the Laboratory of Political Communication of the University of Athens. For each topic we relied upon authors who we knew would be able to present a justified analysis.  We thank all of them warmly, for their collaboration and for the quality of their cotribution. I am grateful to the General Secretariat of Information, and notably its diligent staff, whose co-operation was impeccable.TO the extent which the cover illustration of this volume had to reveal something immediate and complete about the country, I believe the choice of the work of Panagiotis Tetsis was the best possible one. I wish to express my gratitude both to the painter and the National Gallery for permitting us to use a part of this painting, "Likofos" (Twilight).My colleagues at the Univerisity of ..

SURVIVAL KIT is an experiment. Since 2013 it had manifested itself in an ongoing exchange, collaborations in different media and the establishment of the student-run project space Circuits and Currents in Exarchia, Athens. This publication reflects on the process of the SURVIVAL KIT´s three-year existence. Individually and collectively written texts by the participants intertwine with guest contributions by companions who have been involved in the experiment in various ways. This book considers itself to lesser extent as documentation of this experiments history but rather as a medium of visualization of the mutual learning process. SURVIVAL KIT is a cooperation between the Academy of Fine Arts Munich (AdBK) and the Athens School of Fine Arts (ASFA) supported by the DAAD...

Most people don't run out the back door of a place called the Rainbow Bar in Dillon, Minnesota, with someone they don't even know, get in a pickup truck, drive all day, and end up without any clothes on in a motel room. But that's what Texas Jack Carmine did with Linda Lobo. It was the kind of thing Jack was famous for doing. The people who knew Texas Jack Carmine - such as songwriter Bobby McGregor and Jack's uncle Vaughn Rhomer back in Iowa - called him God's only freeborn soul, rider of the summer roads, traveler of the far places. Where he was headed with dark-haired, long-legged Linda was not just back to his one-horse Texas ranch. It was somewhere he had never been: face to face with his own heart and the wild, strange things that live there. Border Music is the story of Jack and Linda, of long, hot days on a high desert ranch, nights wild with loving beneath West Texas skies, and times when their relationship tears them both apart. It's about Vietnam and the Midwest, and Vaughn ..

Les voyageurs font un arrêt la nuit dans une auberge à Tôtes (sur le modèle de l'auberge du cygne), occupée par les Prussiens. Le lendemain, ils ne peuvent pas partir, l'officier prussien exerce un ..
