New Releases by Richard Bach

Entre os milheirais do Illinois e o azul infinito do céu, um homem confia a sua vida à hélice de um biplano. Para Richard Bach, escritor desiludido e piloto itinerante, a fé é algo concreto, tão real quanto um depósito cheio e um motor em funcionamento... até ao dia em que conhece Donald Shimoda, antigo mecânico e messias autoproclamado, capaz de fazer ferramentas voar – e de elevar a imaginação muito para lá dos limites do chão. Em Ilusões, Richard Bach convida-nos a levantar voo em busca de verdades intemporais que dão asas à alma: que não precisamos de aviões para aprender a voar, que até as nuvens mais densas escondem um sentido quando ganhamos altitude e que os messias surgem onde menos se espera – em campos de feno, pequenas cidades com um único semáforo e, sobretudo, dentro de cada um. Somos sempre livres de mudar de ideias e escolher um futuro ou um passado diferente. Que futuros evitamos por receio? Quantas possibilidades deixamos de lado antes de perceber se ainda têm algo a ensinar-nos? Breve e profundamente inspirador, este é um livro que abre espaço para a descoberta, para a liberdade e para a responsabilidade de criar, conscientemente, a vida que desejamos viver.

Il gabbiano Jonathan Livingston non è come tutti gli altri. Se i suoi simili si limitano a composti viaggetti per procurarsi il cibo, lui intuisce nel volo una bellezza e un valore assoluti. Tanto basta per meritargli il marchio dell''infamia e l''allontanamento dallo stormo Buonappetito. Solo, audace, sempre più libero, Jonathan ci accompagna a scoprire l''ebbrezza del volo acrobatico, gli orizzonti emozionanti di mondi nuovi, fino a condurci in altre dimensioni, abitate da gabbiani solitari che hanno la sua stessa fame di perfezione e di verità. Il romanzo-culto degli anni Settanta torna in un''edizione completamente nuova, per la prima volta illustrata dall''artista britannico Ashley Crowley; una versione che comprende anche il nuovo finale, scritto da Bach dopo un''esperienza tra la vita e la morte. Un longseller inimitabile, che ci insegna a spiccare il volo per conoscere finalmente noi stessi.

Por el autor de Juan Salvador Gaviota. Historia para descubrir lo más hondo de nosotros mismos. En el espacio aéreo sin nubes que se extiende entre los campos de maíz de Illinois y el azul infinito, un hombre deposita su fe en la hélice de su biplano. Para ese piloto, la fe es tan real como un depósito lleno de gasolina# hasta que se encuentra con Donal Shimoda, un antiguo mecánico que se define como un mesías y es capaz de lograr que las penas desaparezcan y que la imaginación remonte el vuelo. En Ilusiones descubrimos las verdades atemporales que dan alas a nuestras almas: que la gente no necesita máquinas voladoras para levantar el vuelo, que incluso las nubes más oscuras tienen un sentido cuando nos situamos por encima de ellas y que los mesías pueden encontrarse en lugares tan insospechados como un campo de heno, un pueblo perdido en medio de la llanura o, sobre todo, en lo más hondo de nosotros mismos.

"This is the first global history of the secret diplomatic and police campaign that was waged against anarchist terrorism from 1878 to the 1920s. Anarchist terrorism was at that time the dominant form of terrorism and for many continued to be synonymous with terrorism as late as the 1930s. Ranging from Europe and the Americas to the Middle East and Asia, Richard Bach Jensen explores how anarchist terrorism emerged as a global phenomenon during the first great era of economic and social globalization at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries and reveals why some nations were so much more successful in combating this new threat than others. He shows how the challenge of dealing with this new form of terrorism led to the fundamental modernization of policing in many countries and also discusses its impact on criminology and international law"--

Here for the first time in a single volume are three of Richard Bach''s most compelling works about flight. From his edgy days as a USAF Alert pilot above Europe in an armed F84-F Thunderstreak during the Cold War to a meander across America in a 1929 biplane, Bach explores the extreme edges of the air, his airplane, and himself in glorious writing about how it feels to climb into a machine, leave the earth, and fly. Only a handful of writers have translated their experiences in the cockpit into books that have mesmerized generations.

"Some buckle your seat belts and open your mind flying fiction" from such writers as Jules Verne, Edgar Allan Poe, Dale Brown, William Faulkner, and others ( The Dallas Morning News ). Since its invention in 1903, the airplane has become the dominant mode of transport, travel, and combat. It has brought the entire planet closer together and changed almost every aspect of how we live today. Along the way, the airplane has inspired writers in every decade of the twentieth century to celebrate this world-changing creation. From the wild first years of aviation when daredevil men challenged each other to set altitude records to the terrible three-dimensional landscape of combat in the air through all the wars of this century, authors from around the world have written of the airplanes and the men and women who fly them. Now, bestselling author Stephen Coonts has collected some of the finest fiction about flying in one volume. On Glorious Wings contains stories and excerpts from world-renowned authors, including Dale Brown, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Louis L'Amour, James Michener, Joseph Heller, Len Deighton, Frederick Forsyth, William Faulkner, Ralph Peters and Stephen Coonts himself. From the rickety wire-and-wood contraptions of the 1920s to the possible future of warfare in 2020, this collection invites you to take to the skies with some of today's most acclaimed authors. "For armchair pilots, love at first sight." — Kirkus Reviews

Because he spends so much time perfecting his flying form instead of concentrating on getting food, a seagull is ostracized by the rest of the flock.

A half-mile up, suspended by nylon wings and the promise of good lift, life hanges on a pledge. Richard Bach made that pledge, fifty years before, to return to the frightened child he used to be and teach him everything he had learned from living. His promise went unfulfilled until one day, hovering between earth and sky, Richard encounters Dickie Bach, age nine--irrepressible challenger of every notion Richard embraces.... In this exhilarating adventure, Richard and Dickie probe the timeless questions both need answered if either is to be whole: Why does growing spiritually mean never growing up? Can we peacefully coexist with the consequences of our choices? Why is it that only by running from safety can we make our wildest dreams take flight?
