Die bedeutendste Quelle indischer Spiritualität Die Bhagavadgita gilt als das grundlegende mystischspirituelle Werk der Inder. Entstanden vor Tausenden von Jahren, diskutiert und kommentiert die Gita grundlegende Seinsfragen wie Liebe, Freundschaft, Tod, Sinn und Ziel des Lebens und den Zyklus der Wiedergeburten. Easwaran schafft den Zugang zu diesem Werk von seiner historischen Bedingtheit her, aber er erschließt auch die universelle Gültigkeit und Zeitlosigkeit seiner Lehren.

In Gleichnissen und Anekdoten, in kurzen, witzigen und zuweilen paradoxen Geschichten vermittelt Tschuang-Tse seine Weisheit. In seinem einfachen, knappen Stil hat der chinesische Taoist Bilder von überzeitlicher Gültigkeit geprägt, die nun schon bald zweieinhalb Jahrtausende Menschen in ihren Bann gezogen haben. Die vorliegende Fassung des Trappistenmönchs Thomas Merton zeichnet sich durch besondere Eleganz und Verständlichkeit aus.

Clive Barker tells three stories of terror and blood involving a butcher, a surgeon, and a mortician.

It is not advisable to look under every stone. This seemingly simple realization comes too late for farmer Thomas Garrow, as something has survived beneath a boulder in his fallow field—something that has not wreaked havoc on Earth for thousands of years.

Alternate Cover Edition of ISBN 9780425087398 To a surgeon, cutting into the human body is an art. Muscle and flesh are his canvas, the scalpel his tool. He studies the composition of the organs -- their balance and form -- the structure of the bones and network of blood vessels. He makes his incision, cutting, slicing with loving care. — Clive Barker is another type of surgeon. — He understands the human body too. He knows how the nerves send impulses to a riveted brain. And he knows how the hot blood surges through veins and arteries under a thin membrane of skin. And then gushes out... Five stories of horror and intrigue include, "Dread," "Hell's Event," "Jacqueline Ess: Her Will and Testament," "The Skins of the Fathers," and "New Murders in the Rue Morgue." Reprint.
