Da questa libro, nel 1937 Frank Capra trasse un film celebre, che giunse in Italia col titolo Sbangri-La. Ma il libro conserva un autonomo messaggio, e un'ambizione, nell'avventuroso intreccio, non solo spettacolare. Shangri-La è il monastero tibetano che ospita una antichissima e segreta città di saggi, raccolti da ogni parte del mondo, di sesso, cultura, religione e temperamento diversi, che meditano, studiano, vivono estremamente longevi senza inseguire un preordinato disegno di felicità…

Il celebre corso, "Che cos'è la filosofia?" (1929) - svolto in un teatro a causa delle contestazioni studentesche alle quali partecipò anche Ortega costituisce il manifesto della ragione vitale e storica in dialogo con Dilthey, Husserl e soprattutto Heidegger. L'occupazione filosofica, di indole rigorosamente teoretica, non è priva di audacia ed é caratterizzata da una dimensione ludico-sportiva, a cui si dedicano gli uomini liberi; perciò essa è un'attività superflua dell'uomo 'nobile' che nondimeno la giudica indispensabile per vivere una vita qualitativamente umana ed all'altezza del tempo.

Still scarred by the trauma he endured as a child at the Overlook Hotel, Dan Torrance faces the ghosts of the past when he meets Abra, a courageous teen who desperately needs his help -- and who possesses a powerful extrasensory ability called the "shine".

Unit 4+2 was a one-hit wonder that probably deserved better. As one of the better acoustic-electric bands of the mid-'60s, the group stormed the charts with one memorable hit, "Concrete and Clay," scoring on both sides of the Atlantic, but they were never able to come up with a follow-up that was as catchy. The group originated with guitarist Brian Parker and an instrumental band from Hertfordshire called the Hunters, who recorded for the Fontana label in 1961. Parker left the Hunters in early 1962 and joined Adam Faith's backing band the Roulettes. He didn't stay long with the latter band, preferring to put together a group of his own with the emphasis on vocals. Parker recruited guitarists Tommy Moeller (with whom he began writing songs) and David Meikle, and singer Brian Moules, and the quartet played gigs at youth clubs and other local venues, and turned professional soon after.

The factories, pubs, clubs, hotels and streets of 1980s Liverpool form the backdrop for this tale of love, friendship, sex and a letter to the Soviet leader, Leonid Brezhnev. Two Liverpool lasses, Teresa and Elaine meet two Russian sailors, Sergei and Peter and hook up for a night of fun and frolics. Teresa is looking for sex and a smile, Elaine wants love, romance and the dream of a life far away from the grime of the Liverpool docklands. A classic British romantic comedy filled with new wave tunes, 80s fashion, a little politics and a lot of heart.
