Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was the sixteenth emperor of Rome -- and
by far the most powerful and wealthy man in the world. Yet he was
also an intensely private person, with a rich interior life and
deep reservoirs of personal insight. He collected his thoughts in
notebooks, gems which have come to be called his Meditations. Never
intended for publication, the work survived his death and has
proved an inexhaustible source of wisdom and one of the most
important Stoic texts of all time. In often passionate language,
the entries range from essays to one-line aphorisms, and from
profundity to bitterness. Marcus wrote to console himself in the
face of the shortness of life, the shoddiness of the world, and the
challenges of being human. He asks the very same questions that
every thinking person must ask themselves today: Does the universe
have a moral purpose, and what is my role in it? What exactly is it
to be a good person, and how do I get there? Life is short: what
does that mean for me? How can I get to know myself better? Anyone
who is puzzled by such questions or searching for answers will
profit from this timeless book, which is both an important
historical document and a personal spiritual diary. This annotated
edition will be the definitive translation of this classic and
much-beloved text, with copious notes that will illuminate one of
the greatest works of popular philosophy for new readers and enrich
the understanding of even the most hardcore Stoic.

Na brehu Ženevského jazera stojí zámok Atlantis, v ktorom sa
schádza 7 sestier, aby pochovali svojho nevlastného otca. Jeho
posledná vôľa však obsahuje niečo, čo ich všetky prekvapí. Dozvedia
sa, v ktorej krajine majú hľadať svoj skutočný pôvod. Maia, ktorá
je prvou zo sestier, neváha a rozhodne sa vypátrať, kým je a kam
patrí. Pátranie po jej osude ju zavedie do slnkom zaliateho Rio de
Janeira, do starobylej vily, kde objaví informácie o žene menom
Izabela Bonifacio. Práve Izabela žila v dome na začiatku 20.
storočia a patrila k najvyššej vrstve miestnej smotánky. Maia sa
ponorí do neuveriteľného životného príbehu Izabely a popri tom
rozplieta aj svoj vlastný.
