Why would you want to read another book on the subject of love? If you've made it this far, congratulations. You've just came across yet another book on the subject of love. One among a million. Why should you read this one, instead of the one next door? The best answer I can give you is that I tried to keep all illusions and fantasies out of it - from it expect not fake beauty, nor fancy charm, and not even polished lines, but very real thoughts for real human beings, whoever they are and wherever they live in this vast world of ours. Whether you read it or not depends on you - from it, I can only promise you a realistic enquiry on the subject of love.
Este é um breve e imperfeito livro sobre os muitos sofrimentos humanos, que procura consolar todos aqueles que possam estar a ter um período menos bom nas suas vidas.
Yes, another book on the subject of dating - why should you read it?! When I wrote the previous book, "Just Another Book On Love", I wanted to focus on the subject of love itself. For this sequel, I decided to instead focus on the topic of dating; think about it - why can't people seem to find a real companion in a world which is more and more crowded with options and opportunities? Great question, right? That's what I attempt to answer here; if you're also wondering about the same thing, maybe this is indeed the book you're looking for!
The story of the Trojan War presented in the Iliad and the Odyssey, attributed to Homer, is incomplete. This book completes it. Originally presented as a thesis in the University of Coimbra (Portugal), this book reconstructs the plot of the Trojan War between the Iliad and the Odyssey. In order to do so, it uses the direct knowledge the authors of the Antiquity had of those subjects, but also iconographic sources, presenting them all and showing how they contribute to a faithful reconstruction of the Trojan Cycle, as it was known over 2000 years ago. Among the episodes reconstructed here are, for example, the battle against Penthesilea, the death of Achilles and the famous ruse of the Trojan Horse. This is a work interesting not only for those who already read the Iliad and the Odyssey, but also for everyone who has some interest in Greek and Roman Mythology.
Ever wondered why you can't find love on online dating apps and websites? For the final book of the "On Love and Relationships" collection I decided to take it even further and explore the topic of online dating. There's hundreds and thousands of people in each individual app and website, why is it that it's so difficult for people to meet their match? Maybe because... you're not supposed to ever find true love there? That's what this this third book is all about - if online dating was supposed to result in real, enduring matches, and eventually true love... why is it that few people ever find it, and even then it takes them massive effort? Aren't you curious about all this? If so, perhaps this is indeed the book for you!
