Masinaria sublima. O biografie a inimii umane - Stephen Amidon, Thomas Amidon ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4.00/5 (21) O istorie narativa a celui mai important organ din corpul nostru, o poveste care imbina stiinta, religia si literatura pentru a reda fascinatia staruitoare a omenirii pentru inima. Inima a captivat dintotdeauna imaginatia oamenilor. Ea a fost aleasa drept simbol cultural, salas al celor mai profunde porniri religioase si artistice, si este organul a carui buna functionare este considerata, atat in sens propriu, cat si simbolic, insasi sursa vietii. Masinaria sublima urmareste sentimentul profund de uimire pe care fiecare om il incearca atunci cand isi indreapta gandurile asupra minunii pe care o poarta inchisa intre coaste. In aceasta istorisire lirica, un scriitor apreciat de critici si un cardiolog recunoscut care se intampla sa fie frati folosesc elemente de istorie, stiinta, religie, cultura populara si literatura pentru a aduce lumina in toate incaperile fizice sau simbolice ale inimii. Fiecare dintre cele sase sectiuni printre acestea &bdquoInima in Antichitate&ldquo, &bdquoInima in Renastere&ldquo, &bdquoInima in prezent&ldquo si &bdquoInima in viitor&ldquo se concentreaza asupra unei etape semnificative din procesul de intelegere a inimii si din istoria ascunsa a cardiologiei. Erudit, inteligent si surprinzator, volumul Masinaria sublima face ca inima cititorului sa tresara la fiecare pagina. Verifica stoc
