Hey, are you looking for this book? Le Seigneur des anneaux (French Edition)   (French)   " Que dire d''un livre dont on est amoureux depuis des années. Par où commencer ? A le voir exposé en vitrine dans les librairies parisiennes, j''ai éprouvé le désir d''en acheter des piles, d''en distribuer aux passants. Savoir le succès de ce livre est pour moi une satisfaction extraordinaire, la confirmation d''une justice dans les marécages du best-seller... Le Seigneur des anneaux doit-il la majeure partie de son charme à la conviction qui a présidé sa conception ? Géographie, histoire, généalogies légendaires, juxtaposition minutieuse d''infimes détails sur un canevas si riche et si coloré que l''on se prend à regretter, malgré la très volumineuse information fournie par l''auteur de ne pouvoir en savoir plus sur le " Tiers-age " et la Terre du Milieu (époque et situation géographique de l''épop

The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself   Kindle Edition Who are you? When you start to explore this question, you find out how elusive it really is. Are you a physical body? A collection of experiences and memories? A partner to relationships? Each time you consider these aspects of yourself, you realize that there is much more to you than any of these can define.  The Untethered Soul , spiritual teacher Michael Singer explores the question of who we are and arrives at the conclusion that our identity is to be found in our consciousness, the fact of our ability to observe ourselves, and the world around us. By tapping into traditions of meditation and mindfulness, Singer shows how the development of consciousness can enable us all to dwell in the present moment and let go of painful thoughts and memories that keep us from achieving happiness and self-realization. This book, copublished with the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), offers a frank and friendly dis

Dutifully absorbing all the conflicting information the culture has to offer on how to be a woman, Chocano grappled with sexed up sidekicks, princesses waiting to be saved, and morally infallible angels who seemed to have no opinions of their own. She learned that "the girl" is not a person, but a man's idea of what a woman should be—she’s whatever the hero needs her to be in order to become himself. It wasn&#
