Devatenáctiletá Yumi byla vybrána už při svém narození jako dívka, která dokáže přivolávat duchy. Dělá to tak, že do vysokých sloupců staví kameny. To duchové obdivují a na oplátku pak pomáhají jejímu lidu. Stejně starý Nikaro je malíř a žije v úplně jiném světě. Po nocích obchází periferii svého města, a když narazí na noční můru, nakreslí na plátno černým inkoustem objekt, který mu nedorostlá noční můra nejvíc připomíná. Tedy bambus. Chrání tím sice lid svého města, ale on sám chce víc. Být členem elitní Snové hlídky. A tak bere své povolání jako rutinu a utíká do představ a snů. Jednoho dne se však světy obou mladých lidí prolnou. Yumi bude Nikara muset naučit stavět kameny a on ji zase kreslit. Protože žádný z jejich světů není, jak se jeví, z temného rubáše obklopujícího Nikarovo město se řítí na lidstvo smrtelné nebezpečí. Záchrana je v rukou zodpovědné a pracovité Yumi a Nikara, který je jejím pravým opakem.

A psychiatrist’s comprehensive examination of evidence for the survival of consciousness after death After a twenty-year break from practice, Alan Sanderson returned to clinical psychiatry at age fifty-nine and soon realized that many of his patients were plagued by troublesome earthbound spirits, some of whom had been attached across lifetimes to multiple incarnations as well as multiple hosts. By talking with these attached spirits and persuading them to leave their hosts, Dr. Sanderson found remarkable success in the treatment of his patients. Now, more than 30 years later, Dr. Sanderson shares his extensive research on the afterlife, the survival of consciousness after physical death, and paranormal phenomena related to the spirit world. He explains his practice of psychiatric spirit release, centered on the spiritual and psychic aspects of emotional disturbance, and shares case studies complete with full accounts of treatment sessions.

Forgoing the narratives of the sea that prevailed in his earlier works, Melville’s later fiction contains some of the finest and many of his keenest and bleakest observations of life, not on the high seas, but at home in America. With the publication of this Library of America volume, the third of three volumes, all Melville’s fiction has now been restored to print for the first time.Pierre; or, The Ambiguities, published in 1852 (the year after Moby-Dick), moves between the idyllic Berkshire countryside and the nightmare landscape of early New York City. Its hero, a young American patrician trying to redeem the secret sins of his father, elopes to the city, discovers Bohemian life, attempts a literary epic, and struggles his way through incest, murder, and madness. Long a controversial work, it is Melville’s darkest satire of American life and letters and one of his most powerful books.A pivotal work, both for Melville’s career and for American literature, Pierre was followed by Israel Potter, the story of a veteran of the Revolution, victim of a thousand mischances, and a long-suffering exile in England. Along the way are memorable episodes of war and intrigue, with personal portraits of Benjamin Franklin, John ... Unknown localization key: "more"

'This obsession of mine has brought both joy and torment. The fixation with winning came from within, it roused me and veered on the dangerous.'This is Sean Cavanagh's account of his extraordinary, obsessive drive to dominate his sport. For the first time, we get up close and personal with the lowest ebbs and greatest highs of his career as one of Gaelic football's era-defining players, and with the truth of what it takes to become a three-time All-Ireland and five-time All Star winner. For 20 years, Sean Cavanagh's relentless routine of train-play-repeat fed an insatiable quest for perfection and made him a permanent fixture in the Tyrone team. His fearless, uncompromising style led him to glory, but his obsession also took its toll on body and mind, and on those around him. As well as the highs, there have been some shattering lows: the anguish and doubt of injury, hostility on and off the field of play, the despair at defeat in crucial games, and the nightmare of gossip hounding his family.
