La domanda, cui questo volume si propone di rispondere, e ognuno dev'essersela posta per lo meno una volta nella vita, è: la telepatia, la veggenza, la divinazione del futuro sono doni? Sono tecniche? Sono l'una e l'altra cosa? Sono l'effetto di una particolare predisposizione di pochi o sono presenti in ciascuno di noi? Ed in quest'ultima ipotesi (che ipotesi non è più, bensì certezza), come sviluppare queste facoltà potenziali?Dalla lettura e, perché no, dallo studio delle pagine di ques...

L’approccio diretto con l'affascinante mondo dell'ipnosi è ancora fresco e vivo nell’autore. Avvenne quando era ancora fanciullo; successe in uno di quei teatrini ambulanti che giravano di città in città portando ovunque il loro carico di meraviglie. Quel "palcoscenico da farsa antica" riusciva a sbalordire grandi e piccini, subito rapiti e coinvolti dalla realtà rappresentata sulla scena. Uno di quegli spettacoli includeva un numero di ipnosi, o più propriamente di ipnotismo, come veniva ...

Le mamme si sentono spesso incapaci di capire i loro ragazzi quando si avvicina l'età della pubertà. Il loro bambino pareva tanto luminoso nei primi anni. L'adolescente è diventato invece un enigma penoso: non riescono più ad indovinare quello che pensa; molti fatti della sua evoluzione fisiologica e psicologica rimangono per esse ignoti o almeno molto misteriosi. Su questo problema il grande educatore, Pierre Dufoyer, mette a loro disposizione la sua vasta conoscenza e la sua capacità di ...

The tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Egyptian and Mesopotamian folklore and literature. In particular, many tales were originally folk stories from the Caliphate era, while others, especially the frame story, are most probably drawn from the Pahlavi Persian work Hazār Afsān which in turn relied pa...

The snow was falling, and the Cat's fur was stiffly pointed with it, but he was imperturbable. He sat crouched, ready for the death-spring, as he had sat for hours. It was night—but that made no difference—all times were as one to the Cat when he was in wait for prey. Then, too, he was under no constraint of human will, for he was living alone that winter. Nowhere in the world was any voice calling him; on no hearth was there a waiting dish. He was quite free except for his own desires, wh...

For centuries, Puglia has acted as the bridge to the Mediterranean. To the north, it is crowned by the wild greenery of the Gargano promontory, the Daunian Mountains, and the sweet hills that roll down to the Tavoliere delle Puglie. With its infinite seafront and old city, medieval churches and genuine cuisine, Bari is the metropolitan capital of the region. Romanesque cathedrals line the Adriatic coast. Numerous beach resorts dot the shore as you wind from the Gargano coast to Salento. Th...

It has been related to me, O happy King, said Shahrazád, that there was a certain merchant who had great wealth, and traded extensively with surrounding countries; and one day he mounted his horse, and journeyed to a neighbouring country to collect what was due to him, and, the heat oppressing him, he sat under a tree, in a garden, and put his hand into his saddle-bag, and ate a morsel of bread and a date which were among his provisions. Having eaten the date, he threw aside the stone, and...
