A reassuring guide on how to overcome failure, teaching us that we
can learn to fail wellThis is a hopeful, consoling, gentle book
about failure. Our societies talk a lot about success, but the
reality is that no one gets through life without failing - in small
and usually also in large ways. Sometimes our failures are very
obvious, at other times, we feel we have to conceal them out of
shame.This book encourages us to accept the role that failure plays
for all of us and to feel compassion for ourselves for the messes
we can't help but make as we go through our lives. Our societies
talk a lot about how to succeed: we'd end up so much wiser and
calmer if we learnt how to cope better with the more likely
scenario of failure. This is a book packed with dignified,
sensible, kindly suggestions about how to approach failure: how to
deal with friends, how to cope with enemies, how to endure regret,
how to pick oneself up, how to accept oneself despite one's flaws,
and how to endure and thrive in new, less than ideal
circumstances.It's a perfect volume for anyone who has ever had a
relationship breakdown, suffered a career reversal, made enemies,
bungled a project or wasted their time - in other words, for all of
us. When we fail, it can sometimes seem as if we are alone in this
however, in truth, there is nothing more human than to fail - and
nothing wiser and more necessary than to learn to fail well.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
