Pokud ne, v tom případě nevíte, že po pořádném, dlouhém pláči se obvykle cítíte lépe, a to dokonce i tehdy, když se vaše situace ani trochu nezmění. Že jste o sirotcích Baudelairových ještě nikdy neslyšeli? Pak než si poslechnete byť jen jedinou větu, měli byste vědět toto: Violet, Klaus a Sunny jsou dobrosrdeční, ale jejich život je plný smůly a utrpení. Všechny příběhy těchto tří dětí jsou nešťastné a ubohé a nejspíš vás naplní hlubokým zoufalstvím. Pokud se vám, milí čtenáři, líbí příběhy se šťastným koncem, pak si raději poslechněte nějakou jinou audioknihu. V téhle nejenže nenajdete šťastný konec, ale ani šťastný začátek a jen velmi málo šťastných událostí mezi tím. Je to proto, že v životě tří sourozenců Baudelairových se přihodilo jen málo šťastných věcí. Violet, Klaus a Sunny byli chytré děti, milé a bystré, ale byli nesmírně nešťastné. Téměř všechno, co se jim přihodilo, přinášelo smůlu, trápení, zoufalství a beznaděj.

Exploring the mystery, wisdom, and power of the dark phase of the moon''s cycle--a lunar-based model for moving through the dark times in our lives with understanding, consciousness, and faith in renewal.The moon''s dark phase has traditionally been a time of fear and superstition, a time associated with death and isolation. The mythical embodiment of these fears is the Dark Goddess. Known around the world by many names--Lilith, Kali, Hecate, and Morgana--the archetypal Dark Goddess represents death, sexuality, and the unconscious--the little understood, often feared aspects of life.Demetra George combines psychological, mythical, and spiritual perspective on the shadowy, feminine symbolism of the dark moon to reclaim the darkness from oppressive, fear-based images. George offers rites for rebirth and transformation that teach us to tap into the power of our dark times, maximizing the potential for renewal inherent in our inevitable periods of loss, depression, and anger.

The Dark Mountain Project began with a manifesto published in 2009 by two English writers—Dougald Hine and Paul Kingsnorth—who felt that literature was not responding honestly to the crises of our time.In a world in which the climate is being altered by human activities; in which global ecosystems are being destroyed by the advance of industrial civilisation; and in which the dominant economic and cultural assumptions of the West are visibly crumbling, Dark Mountain asked: where are the writers and the artists? Why are the mainstream cultural forms of our society still behaving as if this were the twentieth century—or even the nineteenth?Dark Mountain’s call for writers, thinkers and artists willing to face the depth of the mess we are in has made it a gathering point for a growing international network.
