The Cat Who Taught Zen
Following the phenomenal international success of Big Panda and Tiny Dragon and The Journey, James Norbury's latest book introduces readers to a very special cat on a remarkable adventure.
"I've learnt that what we want is seldom what we need, and what we need is almost never what we want"
This is the tale of a cat wise in the ways of zen, journeying to discover a fabled ancient pine, under which infinite wisdom may be found.
Along the way he meets a vivid cast of animals: from an anxious monkey and a tortoise tired of life, to a tiger struggling with anger, a confused wolf cub and a covetous crow.
But it's a surprise encounter with a playful kitten, that forces the cat to question everything . . .
Told in a gentle, calming style, The Cat Who Taught Zen introduces a new cast of characters for readers of all ages to fall in love with, offering timeless wisdom wrapped up into a tale of beguiling beauty.
The Cat Who Saved Books
The Cat Who Saved Books is a heartwarming story about finding courage, caring for others – and the tremendous power of books.
Natsuki Books was a tiny second-hand bookshop on the edge of town. Inside, towering shelves reached the ceiling, every one crammed full of wonderful books. Rintaro Natsuki loved this space that his grandfather had created. He spent many happy hours there, reading whatever he liked. It was the perfect refuge for a boy who tended to be something of a recluse.
After the death of his grandfather, Rintaro is devastated and alone. It seems he will have to close the shop. Then, a talking tabby cat called Tiger appears and asks Rintaro for help. The cat needs a book lover to join him on a mission. This odd couple will go on three magical adventures to save books from people who have imprisoned, mistreated and betrayed them. Finally, there is one last rescue that Rintaro must attempt alone . . .
Sosuke Natsukawa’s international bestseller, translated from Japanese by Louise Heal Kawai, is a story for those for whom books are so much more than words on paper.

A négy lábon járó spiritualizmus - A Dalai Láma macskája
A Dalai Láma Macskája visszatért! Épp oly bájosan önző, kotnyeleskedő és kíváncsi, mint ahogy megismertük, ám ezúttal bölcsebb, mint valaha!
Őszentsége a Dalai Láma rendkívül sok látogatót fogad - köztük hercegeket, elnököket és popsztárokat -, akik szeretnének emléket vinni magukkal a találkozásról. Milyen jó lenne egy olyan könyvet ajándékozni nekik, amely emlékezteti őket a felemelő érzésre, amelyet a láma különleges személyisége és kisugárzása kelt bennük, emellett mélyebb bepillantást enged a manapság nyugaton is egyre népszerűbb buddhizmus fő tanaiba. A közvetlen munkatársak megijednek a feladattól. Mi sem természetesebb, hogy erre legalkalmasabbnak Őszentsége féltett kincse, Minden Idők Legszebb Teremtménye, a Dalai Láma igéző zafírkék szemű macskája tűnik, aki oly sok tudásra tett szert az évek során bölcs tanítója oldalán. Így hát macskabajszos forrásból közelíthetjük meg a buddhizmus négy nemes igazságát, s annak a való életre vetített gyakorlati alkalmazását. A négy lábon járó spiritualizmusban kalandokból, szívet melengető mély érzelmekből és bajuszrezgető, szőrbodorító izgalmakból ezúttal sincs hiány.
His Holiness the Dalai lama

Here, you will find the most popular cat names (to avoid), bookstore cat names (Homer or Pip), cat names for foodies (S'more or Capers), James Bond villain cats (Golden Paws or Jinx), and many more.

Ale uvedomil som si, že mojou súčasťou nie sú len recepty, ale aj celý ten kreatívny proces a prístup, ktorý vám chcem ukázať. A je len na vás, čo si z neho vyberiete.”

Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.
And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.
One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them. The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal.
As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong.
But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan . . .
Dramatic and thrilling fantasy blends seamlessly with enthralling storytelling to create a fully realised and seductive world, brimful of magic and romance.
A dalai láma
A dalai láma egyetlen igazán hiteles életrajzát tartja kezében az olvasó - egy olyan elismert Tibet-szakértő tollából, aki jó ismerőseként és közeli munkatársaként talán minden más életrajzírójánál közelebbről ismerheti Tendzin Gyacót, a tisztséget 1950 óta betöltő spirituális vezetőt és magát az embert.
A dalai láma békéről és együttérzésről szóló üzenete minden hívő és nem hívő ember lelkében visszhangra talál. A könyvből azonban azt is megtudhatjuk, miféle hányattatásokon át vezetett az elszigetelt kis tibeti faluból származó Tendzin Gyaco útja odáig, hogy a világ egyik legősibb és legösszetettebb kultúrájának politikai és szellemi vezetőjévé váljon.
A vallási vezetőt és annak életútját is bensőségesen ismerő Alexander Norman rámutat arra, hogy bár a dalai láma számára mindig is kényelmetlen volt politikai szerepvállalása, valójában nagyon is tapasztalt és ravasz játékos, aki egész életében sikeresen manőverezett az átható erőszak, a buddhizmust megosztó ellentétek és a nagyhatalmi játszmák között. Politikai szerepénél is meglepőbb azonban mágiában, látomásokban és próféciákban gyökerező spirituális gyakorlata - amelynek részleteit ebben a könyvben ismerhetjük meg elsőként.
ALEXANDER NORMAN könyve korunk talán legkarizmatikusabb és világszerte legkedveltebb vezetőjének megvilágító erejű élettörténete
