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.

"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"--

How could it be that for seventy years I didn''t know about, believe about, didn''t care about _my own guardian angel?_All the hard work she''s done, every day, not to mention that she''s saved my life time after time. It''s like wandering horizonless in the desert, without bringing one glass of water along with me. So much life, so much power that I never once was aware about, never once touched that water to help me live, no matter how thirsty I''ve been. Now I talk with her every day. A little while ago I asked my guardian angel, "Would you say that there are possibly five angels with problems? Seven?""I''d say there are possibly zero angels with problems," she said. "Approximately zero.""Because you''re immortal. Is that why?""We''re immortal and we know it. Humans are immortal and they don''t know it. They mix physical mortality, which lasts for about two seconds, with spiritual immortality which lasts forever. Cows can understand that, mortals can''t."This book was written to let the kid I was, the little guy six years old, living in the Arizona desert, to remember to keep that water always with him no matter what desert he may roam. He''ll do so much better with this lifetime, than I''ve done. Here''s the story to tell him why.

"Richard journeys with his wife to a realm where he can meet himself as he''ll be twenty years from now, where he can talk face-to-face with the person he was in the past, in parallel lifetimes, and in alternate worlds"--Library of Congress description
