Book Description
The oracle of Delphi, the sacred abode of the raving prophetess, the Pythia, was for centuries one of the most celebrated and influential religious centers in the ancient Greek world. There, the magnificent temple of Apollo was not only gilded in riches of gold and bronze but also in the jewels of everlasting wisdom: the Delphic Admonitions. These were brief "catchphrases" conveying moral, philosophical and even practical teachings, inscribed on pillars around the temple. They were attributed to the Seven Sages of antiquity, a group of philosophers who laid the cornerstone in the edifice of western culture and intellect. This work contains a selection of 120 of the most principle Delphic Admonitions translated in English and each one is presented with an accompanying historical and philological commentary so that the reader may understand them both in the context of the ancient world as well as in that of their application to modern-day life. Complete with a detailed introduction exploring the many mysteries surrounding Delphi's long and fascinating history, an appendix containing the Delphic Admonitions in the original ancient Greek and numerous references to classical Greek and Roman literature, "Navel of the Earth" is, in effect, an anthology of history, philosophy and theology as well as a useful handbook for those wishing to embark on the mysterious and rewarding journey of rediscovering the sublime wisdom of antiquity.

Book Description
The work of Catalan artist Eullia Valldosera links to the human body and the representation through conceptual pieces. Her installations formed by objects, cinematic devices, and projected images in the space surround the spectator and produce nearly a magical effect. The retrospective, which the Reina Sofia Museum dedicates to the artist, allows to look over and get known her initial works, barely shown previously, that include drawings, photography o single-channel videos. Besides, Valldosera will present the work Alma Mater, a monumental multichannel installation created especially for this show.

Book Description
Navel of the Moon is a coming-of-age tale centering on Vicenta “Vicky” Lumiere, a resident of the Irish Channel neighborhood of New Orleans. By closely observing her neighbors and friends, often with a critical eye and a naïve interpretation, Vicky learns that the world fails to fall into discrete categories of good and evil, and that any attempt to assert authority over chaos is ultimately impossible. The characters that structure Vicky's world are intriguing, beginning with her Mexican grandmother, Mimy, whose claim to be from the "navel of the moon" baffles Vicky. Over the course of one summer, the heroine's attempts to understand the illusive nature of friendship captures the sorrow, the happiness, and the ordinary of one's humanity.

Book Description
In order to conduct a well-grounded search for meaning, this book wants to renew the ancient attempt to seek wisdom in everyday life, training ourselves to modify our own perceptions of the world in as authentic a manner as possible. This path places analysis, philosophical practices and religion side by side as three ways of searching for meaning into a common coordinated field of action with a common background: we urge to go beyond the self to save the self through a wider and more all-embracing dimension of meaning. We think to recognize, as different articulations of the same thing, three interconnected but distinct practices: philosophycally-oriented biographical analysis - autobiographical and mythobiographical -, formative practices based on philosophy as a way of life, secular spiritual accompaniment. These essays collected in this volume should be read as partial approximations of the same content.
