The folly, fate, death: Philip Roth still
A seventy-five years and made several nominations, never substantial shape, the Nobel Prize, Philip Roth continues to impress with a new novel, " indignation , "Released a few weeks in the U.S. and Britain. A tragic story, somewhere between Shakespeare and horror film, which recounts the descent into hell of a college freshman, Marcus Messner, in spite of himself involved in a series of unfortunate events that lead inexorably to his fate. With extraordinary ability to innovate while remaining himself, Roth's novel reinvents training and declines in a lucid digression on the eternal struggle between the desire for freedom and conformity, at the bottom always triumphant. Marcus pays its desire for solitude, the choice to refuse the direct clashes, ambition to be himself on his own terms. The company does not allow it, and his righteous indignation is what triggers the events that will destroy .
A 13 years' Sabbath's theater ", a monumental and perhaps underestimated novel that launched one of the most astonishing literary maturity of our time, Philip Roth masterfully continues to tell the Jewish world, sex, rebellion and, in recent years more and more death. And the Sabbath, and desperately wicked puppeteer the human , the character seems to be farthest from Marcus' indignation ", defined the New York Review of Books "the best guy in the world." Yet Roth, whose ability to tell the depths with light weight makes it increasingly apparent Shakespeare, page after page bridges the gap between the two, which basically appear as two sides of same coin : men who tried furiously to mark their own way, their loves, their obsessions and were ultimately defeated. By whom? Probably the world, but perhaps also by fate and by someone who claims the right and claim to hold the Truth.
The American press spoke of a book "weird," someone is also a "mistake" Roth, although "intriguing." But " indignation" seems the natural consequence of the path Rotho recent years, marked by the survey deeper and far from any complacency in the decline, physical, psychological and moral men. Trying desperately to oppose it with that vitality that has made an immortal Nathan Zuckerman, but not been seduced before infinite horror with which they have to reckon with. It 's so for Sabbath, but also for Seymour Levov, the magnificent "Swedish" in "American Pastoral , and Coleman Silk, the enigmatic teacher of" The Human Stain . And the horror, death, emptiness, silence pervades the other major novels of the twenty-first century as "The Dying Animal ", " Everyman," "The Phantom leaves the scene." But it is curious and ingenious in that circle, at least for now, is a guy who looks at life and not an elderly novelist who tells in first person their odyssey in old age. Marcus does not want to become a writer, Marcus seeks only to follow its own path without disappointing those who believe in him and without giving up their beliefs. You will find, set in a state of eternal narrator, who must give up everything except the memories. And the only way of salvation at that point will be the story, the narrative. Not enough to save our lives, but it is perhaps the only way that Roth can show us to try to overcome, at least in part, fear that in his horror novels we see under the coating of reality.

Communication Boards For Victims Of Stroke
V edo in this world that the language of our three-legged brain creates many difficulties for those who want to "wake up".
Language creates and expresses the concepts more than anything else, and within these chains are also those who felt (but not yet realized) that it is all a hoax.
Yes, because even if, after so much suffering investigation "sees" that there is no separation between things, it's all a game in the light of the 'I am', that life has a purpose, not There is nothing to attain or achieve, which, as said Siddhartha, "nothing is unchangeable except change" that time and space are not only false but also fickle, and because of the relative certainty (all false) etc etc. , c 'you always "someone" in the face that expresses a concept of separation with the language and try to bring you "back."
rating in the language!
not perceptions, comments, in its inevitable, but reviews and certainty!
It 's like every banner, every phrase and every gesture almost say "it is true that we are all" me "separate".
For this, I think, that the mind is so difficult to eliminate certain beliefs, because there is always a hologram of the matrix to be clinging to a court any advertising (which can be expressed precisely in a special way with language) to delude of his "personal" identity.
If there were no language would be very difficult to express the idea (false, as indeed all) to be conscious and alive, confuse the 'I' with something.
This is demonstrated by the fact that, for example, asserts that most men "do not know if the plants have a consciousness, a sense of self."
this question (completely absurd and meaningless) leaves us men to understand that we have it limited to body and mind ... and indeed he is so ... unfortunately.
All this talk is to say that when we begin to glimpse, and then convince more and more that the true identity has nothing to do with the concepts and that there is no real universe apart "The absolute ego," not in can express it with serenity to almost anyone, except for a small group of Buddhist monks from somewhere, and (God bless) the Internet, which sites on these "philosophies" is overused more porn sites, though, apart from rare cases , are less useful to them for free from the lies of the ego (probably not even that exception).
So when there's the sponge "Understanding", with her husband, the soap "Love," and begin the brainwashing to clean it from the certainties, they are immediately driven back only by the "own" ego, by all men around him that, using the language, in any attempt way to re-stick their labels that end with "this is true" where he had just released a bit 'of space.
It 's hard, in short ... or "not hard".
And the road is uphill, because you know what maybe (if all goes "well") in the future will be "live" only as a body-mind moving aimlessly until his death and will continue to carry the name that gave him birth, but that currently still identifies himself as "self", from now on will have a hard life, necessarily lonely (inside), but above all they must adeguasi to falsehood, if you do not want to be interned or suffer hunger and exclusion ... will never believe without express falsehoods.
If you want to continue to live decently, n on is free to say what, in his view, is discovering the truth and more like so much in need of constant reminder, when, if he did, I suppose that the process of transformation of the mind will be beneficial.
Seeing forced due to force majeure to continue to "ignore it" with "others" and meet their opinions in the long run, he ends up strengthening them.
and 'how to decide to stop the habit of smoking while continuing to smoke all the time ... otherwise you Fine hopeless.
statement that "I do not know who I am ... nothing has its own essence and existence ... we are all the same "thing" ... unconditional love is the only thing that gives the happiness ... "and declare the lies and contradictions he sees, the mind can not express it (so that it can fully realize the) in society ... only within themselves, otherwise they will get nailed to a cross.
It 's the point!
The mind is gullible to believe absolutely any kind .... what goes front while "asleep" (just think of the dreams to realize.)
Because of this "sleep" I believed (or rather, occurred only in the mind) to concepts such as: the death of non-being ... ... being ... They have created a separation between day and night "with consequent fears that have in turn created the very objects of fear.
The fact is that if it took so little to develop them, then you can believe it (note: believe, believe) that it will be difficult to eliminate even these concepts ... but not, for the simple reason that these appearances when they trimmed the IO price of your Indeed, his mind was clear, virgin, and now that the intelligence test to re-release, it is occupied by a whole army of these concepts (external and internal world) ready to defend each other just to stay alive .
O take much courage, if you believe that coherence between thought and action is essential to the realization of the mind, or, if you think that the martyrs do not serve the purpose, then it takes attention and superhuman vigilance and remember to always pretend that you are just playing and "We are not those characters."

In Mantua, with Lewis and Schiele
A troubled life, an art and a provocative dark and decadent Vienna: these are the ingredients of the fictional biography of the expressionist painter Egon Schiele that marks the literary debut of Lewis Crofts, 31 year old English journalist and writer . "The pornographer diVienna ," published in Italy by Marco Tropea is a fascinating novel that reconstructs the life and work of Schiele, starting with the honeymoon worrying parents and going until his death. In the middle run demons art and passion, the artist declines in essential works and scandalous, which will cost over long periods of poverty and the prison before receiving academic consecration. But even that triumph will be sung at decadent period in which the Hapsburg empire live his last years.
"I wanted to capture the power of the paintings in the writing - Lewis Crofts has told us in an exciting encounter in Mantua -. probably can not make art about art , but at least we you can try. "'s novel Crofts happily combines history and invention (" On the one hand you are bound by the facts, but then you're also free to imagine the people behind the pictures ") and refers to the great Central European tradition of nineteenth century. In particular the relationship between Schiele and his father suggests aKafka, but Crofts widens the field: "I took inspiration from Kafka, but in general terms. If you want to understand Europe you have many models of that period: Kafka, but also Schnitzler, Freud, Wittgenstein , Mahler, Klimt, Kokoschka. The environment in which they were born their work was very important. "And in" The Pornographer of Vienna "the environment of the city, grim as ever, plays a essential part, so much so that star quasial be like the painter.
If the setting of the book is late-nineteenth century, the models that inspired Crofts are milestones of the twentieth century: first Vladimir Nabokov, which combines the research "in the language and style. When you think of 'Lolita' - Crofts told us - it's amazing how one can be fascinated, even after a hundred pages, from a character that is most likely a pedophile. Schiele is not a pedophile, he is a character issue and I'm fascinated by him. It 's a great ability to make interesting the bad characters. " A talent like Crofts also identified in the Milan Kundera, "good at finding the dark side and make them attractive. "When asked if she feels a bond with great novelists of the nineteenth century social , to Dickens or Balzac, Crofts said:" I wanted to capture the company diVienna before the First World War, but did not want Dostoyevsky or Dickens do as they write hundreds of pages and create hundreds of characters. They have done a great fresco, my book is inspired by the paintings of Schiele , which are very simple and limited. I used short paragraphs, in short strokes. "
Lewis Crofts The novel describes the last days of an era that went to the forfeiture without many realize it." Decadence - told us about Vienna of the time - came out in secret, for example, when people went into the night with prostitutes. Today decay is public. Schiele for the decline is manifestavas oprattutto the dishonesty and hypocrisy. "Yet, the crisis in society will come to celebrate it as a great artist:" The paradox of great artists - added Crofts - is that they attack the establishment of which are part . Egon Schiele and resolve the problem by becoming part of the system. "But his paintings are - disturbing, fascinating and enigmatic - to tell us that in the end not everything can be normalized. And the novel Crofts confirms it.
