Numbers play a meaningful role in the philosophy of many spiritual traditions—and yoga is no exception. For example, the number one is the quintessential yoga number, representing “unity” and “wholeness”; number two sometimes stands for co-operative effort, and other times for conflict; and number four is the number of completeness or stability, as it “stands” on “four legs.” There are twelve different names for the mantra OM, each one revealing a different aspect of this root sound.With his distinctive blend of knowledge and humor, Richard Rosen unpacks the fascinating significance that numbers hold in the philosophy and practice of yoga. Stories and practices woven throughout—like the Eka Danta simple meditation exercise, which concentrates on "one pointedness" and is associated with the one tusk of Ganesh—offer readers a hands-on way to explore the importance of numbers in their own practice. Yoga by the Numbers will enlighten and entertain the yogi in your life.

Na osudech tří židovských dívek – z Polska, Holandska a Francie – autor otevírá téma židovských dětí, které přežily druhou světovou válku v úkrytech. Dočteme se o polské Židovce Sophii, které spolu s její matkou zařídil jejich otec falešné doklady a rodné listy prokazující křesťanský původ. Sám krátce poté zmizel a rodina o něm už nikdy neslyšela; matka tak s malou Sophií zůstala sama a v neustálém strachu z prozrazení přežily celou válku. Díky tomu, že hovořila německy, pracovala jako písařka u místního SS důstojníka, který ani netušil, že zaměstnává Židovku. Malou Floru odložila matka nejprve do kláštera, a když i tento úkryt začal být příliš nebezpečný, putovala holčička do bezdětné rodiny francouzsko-švédských manželů, kteří byli chráněni švédskou ambasádou. Malou Carlu zase spolu s její matkou ukrýval holandský holič. Kniha se věnuje i tematice vlivu dětských traumat na život v dospělosti obecně: v kariéře, navazování vztahů, ale i v psychické vyrovnanosti a povědomí o vlastních kořenech.

Richard Rosen setzt den Reigen seiner Jungsgeschichten, den er mit „Sommerhitze“ begonnen hat, mit weiteren aufregenden Begegnungen fort: Bastian schlendert neugierig über das Zirkusgelände und sinkt wenig später in die kräftigen Artistenarme der Flying Ghiradellis, Marvin ist ganz versessen auf den Schnurrbart des türkischen Gemüsehändlers, Sören entdeckt auf dem staubigen Dachboden das Geheimnis von Herrn Ridder, und Christoph macht nachts im Garten eine verheißungsvolle Bekanntschaft. Wieder gelingt es dem Autor, die Begeisterung seiner jungen Helden über im Grunde ganz einfache Genüsse überaus sinnlich zu inszenieren. (RoteReihe)

Sie heißen Kevin, Nick oder Bastian; sie sind keine Kinder mehr, aber auch noch nicht richtig erwachsen. Der männliche Körper ist für sie ein großes Wunder, ihr eigener ebenso wie der des besten Freundes oder des fremden Mannes, dessen ausgereifte Kraft sie bewundern. Ob am Badesee, in den Umkleideräumen des Schwimmbads oder in einem abgelegenen Garten – sie genießen die Hitze des Sommers und vor allem sich selbst, die neue Welt der Sexualität und das männliche Vorbild, dem sie nacheifern. Richard Rosen gelingt es meisterhaft, sich in diese ebenso unschuldigen wie abgründigen Situationen hineinzuversetzen und jeden Augenblick der Lust, den seine Helden auskosten, im Text neu zu erschaffen. Mit ihrer dichten Atmosphäre und ihrem perfekten Timing sind diese Stories selbst ein wenig wie Sex.
