<p> Święty i błazen – to książka o niecodziennej relacji Jana Góry z Janem Pawłem II. Ukazuje się tuż przed kanonizacją polskiego Papieża.</p> <p> Błazen żył na dworze i miał przywilej mówienia królowi prawdy bez cenzury i ogródek. Ale są też inne skojarzenia. Błazen to tyle, co wariat. Człowiek, który się błaźni czyli kompromituje. To ktoś, którego genialny życiowy plan zakończył się klapą.</p> <p> Jan Góra pozwalał sobie przy Papieżu na zachowania i działania, o których inni baliby się nawet pomyśleć. Niektórzy określiliby je jako nieodpowiednie albo gorszące. A papież, gdy Góra wsadzał jego rękę do wiaderka z silikonem protetycznym po to, aby uzyskać odlew jego dłoni dla potomnych, stukał się widelcem w czoło i mówił do obecnego kardynała Dziwisza: „Stasiu, po co z tym facetem zaczęliśmy się zadawać” i ponownie zapraszał ojca Górę i wspomagał jego projekty, plany, wizje...</p> <p> Ale kto nie będzie widział okładki, dla niego tytuł będzie odnosił się tylko do Jana Góry. I słusznie. Dla jednych jest on bowiem świętym. Bo cuda, których dokonał - stworzenie Miasteczka Nadziei w spacyfikowanej przez Niemców wsi Jamna czy gromadzenie co roku stu tysięcy Młodzieży na polach lednickich po „Rybą” - są tylko domeną świętych. I tylko święci, tak jak on, potrafią kochać i płonąć. Dla innych pozostanie hochsztaplerem, który dokonuje sztuczek cyrkowo-diabelskich, sztuczek... błazeńskich.</p> <p> Jan Grzegorczyk, autor bestselerowej trylogii o księżach Przypadki księdza Grosera zna ojca Jana od niepamiętnych czasów. Nie pozwala mu uciekać od niewygodnych pytań. Wręcz oskarżeń. Ale i tak nie do końca ufa swemu rozmówcy. Powołuje w książce licznych świadków życia ojca Jana. Ile w ich relacjach wyłania się świętego, a ile błazna?</p>

<p> <span>The fourth of the Leatherstocking novels, we find Leatherstocking (Natty Bumppo) entering the last stages of his life. He has lost a great deal of his effectiveness with his musket and now relies a great deal on his dog to help him hunting. The main focus is one two things: 1. the reinstatement of Natty’s old commander in his properties and wealth in the new US while believing he is the victim of treachery by his old friend – the judge in this story; and 2. Natty’s struggle with and disgust about the developing societal rules that limit his freedom in hunting, trapping and fishing in the wilderness as he has his whole life. Good story on both accounts. In The Pioneers, James Fenimore Cooper thematically debates the complexity of landscape within a new American frontier. The battle between nature and civilization is a constant and competing force within the minds of the characters and in the general surroundings.</span></p>

<p> <span>In this Gothic novella, Robert Louis Stevenson combines the horrors of the human soul with a disgust for the Victorian importance of reputation. Stevenson delves into the darkest depths of humanity, and seems to discover what Sigmund Freud would not publish for another 15 years: the repression of the id, or the instinctive side of human nature, by the super-ego, or the part of us that holds on to the cultural ideals and rules we were raised with. Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is a narrative about the complexities of science and the duplicity of human nature. Dr Jekyll is a kind, well-respected and intelligent scientist who meddles with the darker side of science, as he wants to bring out his ’second’ nature. He does this through transforming himself into Mr Hyde – his evil alter ego who doesn’t repent or accept responsibility for his evil crimes and ways. Jekyll tries to control his alter ego, Hyde, and for a while, Jekyll has the power. However, towards the end of the novel, Hyde takes over and this results in their deaths.</span></p>

We may act as adults, but we feel like children. And yet we all come with an inner vision into this world, a very specific and unique potential that wants to unfold through us during the course of our lives. But through our internal life struggles, we often forget it and lose touch with it. Using the Life Integration Process, Wilfried Nelles introduces a constellation method to help us see and feel our life's inner vision and thereby guide us to our psychological maturity and adulthood.
