El somni és una obra complexa i singular, capaç de mirar-se de prop i amb un gran sentit de l'humor els aspectes més prosaics de la vida quotidiana però també d'elevar-se fins a les idees filosòfiques més transcendents. Metge, tancat a la presó per acusacions de malversació i corrupció, comença a somiar i se li presenten el personatge del rei mort recentment, Joan I, i dels personatges mitològics Orfeu i Tirèsies, amb els quals obre un diàleg en què discuteixen des de la immortalitat de l'ànima, d'algunes aficions excessives o dels defectes i virtuts d'homes i dones.

『非暴力』はマハトマ・ガンジーが、第一次世界大戦と第二次世界大戦のはざまの1922年に発表した一文です。理想論、に聞こえる、この書を記した当時彼は５３歳。はじめて投獄されてから14年、兇弾に斃れるまで２６年。 過酷で暴力的な現実を生きてきて、生きていて、生きてゆく「マハトマ（敬称・偉大なる魂の意）」の背骨。世界共通人として持つべき心を気軽に読めるオーディオブックとして完成させました。 理想や夢を抱いて生きられるということは、人間としてうまれてきた最大のメリットだといえましょう。

It’s a belief that unites the left and right, psychologists and philosophers, writers and historians. It drives the headlines that surround us and the laws that touch our lives.

In his most provocative and practical book yet, one of the foremost thinkers of our time redefines what it means to understand the world, succeed in a profession, contribute to a fair and just society, detect nonsense, and influence others. Citing examples ranging from Hammurabi to Seneca, Antaeus the Giant to Donald Trump, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows how the willingness to accept one's own risks is an essential attribute of heroes, saints, and flourishing people in all walks of life.

As it was in Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, and Othello, so it is in life. Most forms of private vice and public evil are kindled and sustained by lies. Acts of adultery and other personal betrayals, financial fraud, government corruption - even murder and genocide - generally require an additional moral defect: a willingness to lie. In Lying, bestselling author and neuroscientist Sam Harris argues that we can radically simplify our lives and improve society by merely telling the truth in situations where others often lie.

In it, Spinoza follows a logical step-by-step format consisting of definitions, axioms, propositions, proofs, and corollaries to create a comprehensive inquiry into the truth about God, nature, and humans' place within the universe. From these broad metaphysical themes, Spinoza derives what he considered to be the highest principles of religion and society and lays out an ethical system in which reason is the supreme value.
