Spalona Żywcem Wyd. Kieszonkowe - Souad

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - Pierwsze na świecie świadectwo ofiary zbrodni honorowej. Miała siedemnaście lat i zakochała się: zhańbiła rodzinę. Więc rodzina wydała na nią wyrok śmierci... Pokochała go pierwszą miłością. Myślała, że się z nią ożeni. Ale ukochany zniknął, a ona odkryła, że jest w ciąży. A w jej świecie to najcięższa zbrodnia... W zapomnianej przez Boga wiosce w Cisjordanii kobiety są warte mniej niż zwierzęta domowe. Tu mężczyzna jest panem życia i śmierci żony, córki, siostry. Brat może bezkarnie zabić siostrę, matka - córkę, kolejną bezużyteczną dziewczynkę, jaka się urodzi. Tu kobiecie odbiera się godność, a nawet życie zgodnie z odwiecznym obyczajem i uświęconą tradycją. A śmierć jest karą dla dziewczyny, która zhańbi rodzinę. Tak jak Souad. Wyrok wydaje jej ojciec. Szwagier dokonuje egzekucji. Oblewa Souad benzyną i podpala... SOUAD przeżyła - cudem, ale rodzina usiłowała zabić ją nawet w szpitalu. Na zawsze jednak pozostanie straszliwie okaleczona - na ciele i duszy. I wciąż musi się ukrywać; dopóki żyje, jej rodzinę okrywa hańba. Spalona żywcem, opublikowana pod pseudonimem szokująca opowieść o piekle, jakim było jej dzieciństwo i młodość, stała się międzynarodowym bestsellerem. Wydana w 37 w krajach książka przerywa tabu milczenia wobec istniejącej nadal w krajach muzułmańskich barbarzyńskiej tradycji. Nieludzkiego obyczaju, prawa mężczyzn, na mocy którego co najmniej pięć tysięcy kobiet pada co roku ofiarą zbrodni honorowej. Nazwa - Spalona Żywcem Wyd.

Gdyby dziś był ostatni dzień Twojego życia - Ulrike Scheuermann

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - Zastanawiałeś się kiedyś co byś zrobił, gdybyś dowiedział się, że dzisiaj jest Twój ostatni dzień życia? Jak byś się zachował gdyby nie było jutra? Zapewne zrobiłbyś to, o czym zawsze marzyłeś. Skupiłbyś się przede wszystkim na rzeczach, które dają Ci prawdziwą radość i satysfakcję. Autorka, podobnie jak Steve Jobs, uświadamia nam, że mamy wielkie szczęście, że nie jesteśmy nieśmiertelni, bo to z pewnością doprowadziłoby nas do zmarnotrawienia wielu godzin, dni i lat. Jest przekonana, że rozważania o śmierci pomagają nam w życiu, ponieważ dopiero jego ograniczoność czyni je wartościowym. Nie robimy wtedy wszystkiego, ale tylko to, co rzeczywiście się dla nas liczy. Ulrike Scheuermann jest dyplomowanym psychologiem, wykładowczynią oraz autorką wielu książek. Od 15 lat towarzyszy ludziom w ich osobistym i zawodowym rozwoju. Na swoich seminariach, w poradnikach oraz sesjach coachingowych prezentuje nowe sposoby pracy skupionej na realizowaniu celów, dającej spełnienie i radość tworzenia oraz wewnętrzny rozwój. Ta książka zmotywuje Cię do działania i skupienia nad własnym celem i sensem życia. Dowiesz się z niej jak za pomocą siedmiu kroków możesz szybko zmienić swoją egzystencjalną perspektywę. Dodatkowo zainspiruje Cię do wejścia na drogę, która prowadzi do odkrycia tego, co jest dla Ciebie najważniejsze. Znajdziesz tutaj ćwiczenia oraz autentyczne historie różnych osób. Ulrike poleca również literaturę, filmy oraz muzykę, które będą niezwykle pomocne przy rozwinięciu każdego kroku.
