Title: The City Volume 1 - Stella Gemmell - book Summary : Built over thousands of years, made up of a multitude of levels, the City is as vast as it is ancient.

At the heart of the City resides the bloodthirsty Emperor, whose face remains a mystery and whom death itself seems to fear: some even doubt his humanity. A handful of rebels hoping to put an end to this reign of terror place their hopes in a single man, whose name sounds like a legend: Shuskara. The one who was once the Emperor's favorite general. A respected man, capable of provoking an uprising and uniting the City. But also a criminal betrayed, imprisoned, and tortured before disappearing.

My father fell backward, his miserable sweater on his face, his belly gaunt, wrinkled, grayish like that of a dead fish... and I saw, while the family honor was spilling onto the ground, I saw what I must not see at all, what a worthy, respectable son, what a true Bedouin must never see - this softened, repulsive, degrading thing, this forbidden territory, tu, sacrilegious: my father's penis... The end of the line! After that, there is nothing, an infinite void, an interminable fall, nothingness..." Known and acclaimed worldwide, Yasmina Khadra tirelessly explores contemporary history, campaigning for the triumph of humanism.

Title: The Art and Spiritual Practice of Reiki - Patrice Gros - book Summary : Rediscovered at the end of the 19th century by a Kyoto monk, Reiki has its roots in the various schools of Buddhist and Shinto thought. Too often presented as a simple healing technique, it is above all an art of healing and a philosophy of life. Considering physical or psychological disorders as indicators of internal disharmony, Reiki allows each person to channel Universal Energy and thus achieve personal and spiritual fulfillment. After a brief history, the author analyzes the different stages of initiation as well as the philosophical and spiritual notions that underlie each of the degrees. The special relationship that is established between the therapist and his patient is described in detail. The last part, finally, is devoted to questions that may arise during the therapy: how do the sessions take place? What are the specific indications of Reiki? What is the relationship between Reiki and medicine? Much more than a practical treatise, The Art and Spiritual Practice of Reiki develops an in-depth reflection on the sacred dimension of this ancient art. This first work is essential for any practitioner and it lays the useful foundations for correct practice. EAN: 9782753801899 Used book at low prices The book matches the photo

Title: The Snows of Kilimanjaro / Ten Indians - Ernest Hemingway - book Summary : Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain, 6,021 meters high, and said to be the highest mountain in Africa. The western peak is called "Masai Ngaje Ngai," the House of God. Near the western peak is a frozen leopard carcass. No one has explained what the leopard was looking for at this precise altitude, as Ernest Hemingway prefaces this short story. Relatively short, it is followed by eleven other, even shorter stories. The Snows of Kilimanjaro interweaves adventure stories and memories of his many travels around the world, as illustrated by this anecdote about Turkey in the middle of the African bush. Concise (he hated sentences longer than fifteen words), and dynamic, this story is one of his most legendary writings. Narrating the sublime ascent of this alluring mountain, a film (starring Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner) will be made from this dazzling short story. Hemingway thus reaches new heights here. --Florent Mazzoleni EAN: 9782070361519 Used book at low prices The book matches the photo
