Imagine a war without battlefields. There are no uniforms. Civilians and combatants are indistinguishable. Homes, schools, hospitals, and religious buildings are used as command and communication centers, and for the warehousing of weapons. Apartment rooftops are launching pads; the civilians who live inside . . . human shields. There are over 300 miles of reinforced tunnels, all outfitted with weapons and passageways for terrorists to take hostages and travel freely.

¿Y si el placer no fuera un capricho, sino una forma profunda de sabiduría? Carpe Diem no es un manual de autoayuda ni una lista de consejos rápidos para ser feliz. Es una invitación radical a pensar el placer como una filosofía de vida. En estas páginas, Lucas Bracco rescata la tradición hedonista —de Epicuro a Nietzsche, de Aristipo a los filósofos contemporáneos— para mostrar que buscar el placer no es egoísmo ni superficialidad, sino un arte profundo: el arte de vivir con conciencia, libertad y plenitud. Desde el placer estético hasta el bienestar emocional, desde el gozo...

Das Gute bzw. das Bedürfnis, Gutes zu tun, erscheint hingegen als die ursprünglichere Kraft, als naturgegebene Energie, als genuiner Instinkt.

El somni és una obra complexa i singular, capaç de mirar-se de prop i amb un gran sentit de l'humor els aspectes més prosaics de la vida quotidiana però també d'elevar-se fins a les idees filosòfiques més transcendents. Metge, tancat a la presó per acusacions de malversació i corrupció, comença a somiar i se li presenten el personatge del rei mort recentment, Joan I, i dels personatges mitològics Orfeu i Tirèsies, amb els quals obre un diàleg en què discuteixen des de la immortalitat de l'ànima, d'algunes aficions excessives o dels defectes i virtuts d'homes i dones.
