É pela inquietude do espírito que se lança ao mundo em busca de si mesmo, em busca de revelações, de porquês. É nesta empreitada, ao se encontrar com o novo, com novas formas de vidas e de seres, que se questionam e se fundamentam os verdadeiros valores. São estes valores que direcionam àquilo que um dia será chamado de “o novo eu”. Um novo ser que violentamente se confrontará com seu antecessor, até que apenas um prevaleça ou um terceiro se derive dos restos alheios, torto e descontrolado, a ponto de exigir as mais atitudes extremas daqueles que sempre estiveram ao lado com as mãos estendidas. Atitudes mal interpretadas que levam a um perigoso caminho sem volta: aquele da contradição existencial....

Credere nelle proprie capacità è l'unica chiave di risposta alle proprie necessità di vita, non ci sono traguardi irragiungibili, non ci sono problemi irrisolvibili. Il personaggio di questo racconto arriva fino in fondo, deciso a dimostrare che la vita pur imprevedibile come il mare puo essere condotta da noi stessi nella direzione giusta. “La vita è un mare, l’uomo ne è il navigatore che va di porto in porto alla ricerca del sogno, del proprio grande sogno. Solo l’uomo che crede in quello che cerca sarà navigatore." Le cose avvengono e, spesso sono inevitabili, a tutto c’è una ragione, a cui non si può dare una giustificazione, una soluzione immediata.... ....a volte vorremmo a tutti i costi fermarci in un posto, perché ci illudiamo di poter trovare la felicità, pur sapendo che tutto quello che questo luogo poteva offrirci già l’abbiamo ricevuto. Vorremmo restare, solo perché abbiamo paura che poi ci possa mancare, paura di non trovare più un posto simile. E questo vincolo permane anche quando, non riceviamo più niente, se non incertezze e dolore....

Journey to the West is one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. It was written in the 16th century during the Ming Dynasty and attributed to Wu Cheng'en. The novel is a fictionalized account of the legendary pilgrimage to India of the Buddhist monk Xuanzang, and loosely based its source from the historic text Great Tang Records on the Western Regions and traditional folk tales. The monk travelled to the "Western Regions" during the Tang Dynasty, to obtain sacred texts (sūtras). The bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara (Guanyin), on instruction from the Buddha, gives this task to the monk and his three protectors in the form of disciples — namely Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing — together with a dragon prince who acts as Xuanzang's steed, a white horse. These four characters have agreed to help Xuanzang as an atonement for past sins. Journey to the West has a strong background in Chinese folk religion, Chinese mythology and value systems; the pantheon of Taoist immortals and Buddhist bodhisattvas is still reflective of Chinese religious beliefs today. Enduringly popular, the tale is at once an adventure story, a...

Calendar symbols of one sort or another occur on a surprising variety of monuments, both of early and late periods. The most important of these monuments for the study of the workings of the calendar system in detail are certain remarkable picturebooks or manuscripts, made on folded strips of deerskin, or on paper made of the fibre of the maguey (Agave americana). These manuscripts are usually spoken of as "codices." Only a few of these native manuscripts survived the introduction of European civilization into America. Those which were preserved were taken to Europe as curiosities, and often preserved through mere luck. The ones still extant have received a great deal of attention since the early part of the last century. All but a few of the originals are still in Europe, and are at the present time considered priceless....
