A Cure for Chaos
From bestselling cartoonist C. C. Tsai, a delightful graphic version of the stories and teachings of the important Chinese philosopher MenciusC. C. Tsai is one of Asia’s most popular cartoonists, and his graphic editions of the Chinese classics have sold more than 40 million copies in over twenty languages. In A Cure for Chaos, he uses his virtuosic artistic skill and sly humor to create an entertaining and enlightening illustrated version of key selections from the Mencius, a profoundly influential work of Chinese philosophy.You cannot understand Chinese philosophy without understanding Mencius (fourth century BCE), who is known as the Second Sage, after Confucius, and whose ideas were for many centuries part of the standard Confucian curriculum. A Cure for Chaos is a playful and accessible comic that brings alive the clever stories and thought experiments that Mencius uses to convey his ideas. Through conversations with potentates and colorful episodes involving tigers, chicken thieves, and bear paws, this vivid graphic narrative shows Mencius arguing for a government that puts the people first, for morality over fame or fortune, and for the need of each person to cultivate their innate goodness—all of which is a prescription to cure chaos in the world.Translated and introduced by Tsai’s longtime collaborator Brian Bruya, a philosopher and scholar of ancient Chinese thought, A Cure for Chaos also features the original Chinese text on the margins of each page, enriching the book for readers and students of Chinese without distracting from the English-language cartoons.Filled with unforgettable stories and shrewd insights, A Cure for Chaos is a marvelous and inviting edition of a timeless classic.

Margo bajban van
„Rájöttem, hogy a szeretet nem olyasmi, ami kívülről jön. Mindig azt hittem, hogy a szeretetnek más emberektől kell jönnie, és mivel nekem a szeretet morzsáiban sem volt részem, ezért üres gyomorral, kétségbeesetten jártam a világban. Nem tudtam, hogy a szeretetnek belőlem kell fakadnia, és ha szeretek másokat, akkor annak a szeretetnek az ereje és melege az, ami feltölt és megerősít.”
Margo Millet húszéves, épp csak elkezdte a főiskolát, amikor viszonyba bonyolódik az irodalomtanárával, és azonnal teherbe esik. Eddig sem vetette fel a pénz, most azonban a pincérnői mellékállását is elveszíti. A családjára sem számíthat, a gyerek apja pedig hallani sem akar arról, hogy Margo megtartsa a babát.
Margo azonban úgy dönt, hogy ha az élet már volt olyan kedves, és citromot adott neki, ő bizony limonádét készít belőle. Vagy legalábbis létrehoz egy OnlyFans-oldalt, ahová erotikus tartalmakat készít, és ebből keres nem kevés pénzt. Elég rendhagyó elképzelés, de ez sem nagyobb őrültség, mint húszévesen egyedül gyereket nevelni. Főleg, hogy segítsége is akad: az apja, az egykori pankrátor, aki éppen a drogfüggőségéből igyekszik kigyógyulni… A Margo bajban van borzasztóan okos, egyszersmind szórakoztató regény arról, mi a valódi, és mi a hamis, hogyan lát minket a világ, hogyan látjuk mi magunkat, és mit jelent, ha megpróbáljuk irányítani a rólunk szóló narratívát.
