      Фрэнсис Чисхолм — добросердечный и скромный священник, чья индивидуальность и непосредственность делают его непопулярным среди духовенства. Чтобы избавиться от «неудобного» священника, его отправляют Китай. Более тридцати лет Чисхолм поддерживал миссию, несмотря на крайнюю нищету, гражданскую войну, чуму и враждебность его начальства. Сражаясь с глупостью, фанатизмом и жестокостью, отец Чисхолм получает ключи Царства Небесного, которые нельзя подделать, купить или украсть. Роман Кронина — это увлекательный, энергичный, красочный рассказ о глубоко духовном человеке, который творит добро в несовершенном мире. «Ключи Царства» — одна из лучших экранизаций современной англоязычной литературы с неподражаемым Грегори Пеком в главной роли.

      Among the first of Sigmund Freud's many contributions to psychology and psychoanalysis was The Interpretation of Dreams, published in 1900, and considered his greatest work — even by Freud himself. Aware, however, that it was a long and difficult book, he resolved to compile a more concise and accessible version of his ideas on the interpretation of dreams. That shorter work is reprinted here. Since its publication, generations of readers and students have turned to this volume for an authoritative and coherent account of Freud's theory of dreams as distorted wish fulfillment.After contrasting the scientific and popular views of dreams, Freud illustrates the ways in which dreams can be shown to have been influenced by the activities or thoughts of the preceding day. He considers the effect on dreams of such mental mechanisms as condensation, dramatization, displacement, and regard for intelligibility. In addition, the author offers perceptive insights into repression, the three classes of dreams, and censorship within the dream.Students and psychologists will welcome this inexpensive edition of an always-relevant work by the father of modern psychoanalysis. This volume will also appeal to anyone interested in dreams of the workings of the unconscious mind.

      Sullo sfondo delle miniere del Galles, una storia umanissima di grandi, fondamentali conflitti sociali, civili e sentimentali. Nel cuore dei protagonisti divampa la lotta per ottenere più giustizia, libertà e realizzare finalmente un ideale e un progetto di vita più felice. Molti sono i contrasti e i conflitti che Cronin ritrae con sottile e attenta psicologia, dando ai personaggi una profondità autentica, che si può riscontrare solo nei ritratti dei grandi e affermati romanzieri. Il soffio della vita vissuta è presente in tutto il libro ed è la caratteristica che ha fatto conoscere Cronin.
