Histórias para adultos estressados
Como um banho quentinho antes de dormir, Histórias para adultos estressados conforta almas cansadas e acalma mentes ansiosas antes de uma boa noite de sono.
Em um mundo cada vez mais corrido e imediatista, somos dominados por telas e sobrecarregados pelas demandas do lar e do trabalho. Mesmo sabendo que uma noite bem dormida é fundamental para a nossa saúde, em meio às ocupações, negligenciamos nosso relaxamento e nosso sono. Em Histórias para adultos estressados, a jornalista e colunista do Guardian Lucy Mangan reúne clássicos da literatura ocidental capazes de nos levar gentilmente à pacífica terra de Morfeu. E, finalmente, conseguir construir o hábito de parar e restaurar um pouco de paz ao fim do dia.
Seja por meio de poemas, contos ou fragmentos de romances, Histórias para adultos estressados é uma coletânea de histórias curtas cuidadosamente construída para suavizar a agitação e sobrecarga de dias estressantes. Formular narrativas é o modo como damos sentido ao mundo. Qualquer que seja nossa idade, as histórias têm o poder de nos acalmar. Então, permita-se mergulhar em novos e antigos universos, reinos mágicos e misteriosos capazes de nos transportar a bons sonhos.
Entre contos clássicos de autores como Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll, Anton Tchekhov e Virginia Woolf e narrativas menos conhecidas mas igualmente fascinantes, Histórias para adultos estressados nos conduz com delicadeza ao descanso pleno. Lembra-nos da sensação única de mergulhar em uma história, como se voltássemos à infância. Portanto, aconchegue-se e esqueça as responsabilidades e atribulações do dia a dia. Uma boa noite de sono está a apenas uma ou duas páginas de distância.

Amé esta antología, me parece una selección tan noble, ideal para agarrar cada noche y leerse un cuentito antes de descansar. Son relatos, canciones, poemas o fragmentos de libros que tienen una cosa nostálgica, mágica. Fui feliz durante la lectura de cada texto. No voy a dudar en volver a este libro en algún momento de mi vida.

I'm very confused as to why this says 'expected release date 2019' when I bought it in a bookshop and have finished it?
Anyway, I don't really know what to say.
A) it served its purpose as in I read 1 to 2 stories per night before going to sleep and definitely slept well afterwards.
B) there is a wide variety of story excerpts, short stories and poems in this. Some I'd read before, some I didn't know.
C) I loved some stories. Others I didn't particularly care for. Others I'm not sure I even truly understood. Mostly because they were excerpts of bigger stories that made no sense without the context (which was fine for the ones where I actually knew the whole story, but not for the ones that were unknown to me).
D) I can only give this 3 stars because well I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. I enjoyed some of the stories but not all, so I feel like 3 stars is pretty fair.

بما إن الشتاء هو موسم الأرق، حابة أرشح لكم هذا الكتاب العظيم 😍💙
حكايات قبل النوم للراشدين المرهقين.
هى مجموعة قصصية قصيرة أطول حكاية فيهم ١٠ صفحات.
حاجة كدة ترجعك لزمن حواديت تيتة. قصص تقرأها قبل ما تنام عشان تفصل من زحمة اليوم وتروح لعالم خيالي هادئ خالي من الصراعات والاحباطات والنكد.
دي عادة ليلية جديدة حبيتها، بقرأ قصة واحدة منه عشان يفضل معايا لأطول فترة وحقيقي فعلًا بيساعدني أسترخي وأهدأ قبل النوم.
المفاجأة أن أمازون عاملة عليه ديسكاونت خرافي فسعره بقى ٩٥ جنيه مصري بينما سعره في المكتبات ٥٢٠ جنيه فألحقوا أشتروه لو مهتمين بالنوع ده من الكتب.

Life is stressful. Read a book. Read all the books. Now.

I absolutely loved the idea behind this book. It had a beautiful cover and beautiful intentions, with such a great sounding title and premise, but just didn’t quite deliver in the way I wanted it to. I really did love the time I spent reading this just before bed, tucked up with a cup of herbal tea, and the fact that it meant I set intentions with my reading to only read it when I knew I’d fully enjoy the time, in the way it was intended.
However, the stories themselves were very hit and miss, with notable favourites coming from only 6 of the 33 entries. I really did enjoy Wynken, Blynken and Nod, The Mouse, and From ‘Amanda’, to name a few, but I lost track of just how many it felt like a huge slog to get through. Normally this wouldn’t bother me too much, but given that this was a book intended for bedtime reading and de-stressing, it felt a little misaligned.
Maybe I’m just not smart enough to understand what half the authors were meaning in their writing, but so many of the stories took crazy amounts of focus from me just to understand what was going on, with unnecessarily complicated and long descriptions. This also wasn’t helped by a number being excerpts from other, longer stories, making them even harder to follow as you’re just thrown in without context, especially for those which I hadn’t read in full previously.
Overall, it’s not an awful collection by any stretch, but it could’ve done with some refining and alterations to really suit its purpose. I’ll probably revisit some of the stories, but many will be forgotten too unfortunately.

I didn't finish it i didn't like it 😒

April 22, 2021الحق عليا إني مبصيتش علي reviews قبل ما اجيب الكتاب،
بعد اول صفحتين ونص ووانا بقرأ فأول قصة، قفلت الكتاب ومكملتوش ورحت اقرأ عن الكاتبة لقيتها كانت مسيحية وألحدت .. which explained much
يعني مش بس إن اختياراتها سخيفة_ يعني انا متخيلة هي قعدت قالت لنفسها قصص للكبار المتوترين يقروها قبل النوم عشان ميتوتروش يبقي عن ايه ياربي عن ايه أو سوري اكيد مقالتش ياربي لو كانت قالتها كان ربنا كرمها وعرفت تختار حاجة عدلة المهم خيالها الضحل جابلها ان اكيد حد كبير ومتوتر يبقي رقم واحد ممكن مفيش فلوس فانا هحطله قصة عن حد معهوش فلوس وكان متوتر وفالاخر بقى مبسوط وراضي بالقليل الي معاه! يا شيخة ده قصص توم وجيري فيها creativity اكتر ومسلية وتنسي الواحد همومه اكتر👊 ، مش بس انها ألحدت ف تروح تشوف حتة تتدارى فيها بخيبتها دي؟ لأ هي قررت تحط قصص بتهبد براحتها بما انها مش مؤمنة بأي حاجة، ومختار قصة لواحد قدراته في التخيل والكتابة أضعف من قدرات بيبي ف KG بذل مجهود جامد وممل عشان يوصف شعر واحدة ست وساعة يد!
كان ممكن يقول شعر فظيع وساعة غالية وخلصنا، لكن لأ ازاااي
راح هابد هبدة عن واحدة كانت ملكة زمان غنية جدا( فأنت لازم تبقي دكتور فالتاريخ قبل ما تقرأ قصص قبل النوم دي والا التوتر مش هيروح لإنك مش هتفهم، قصص قبل النوم للمثقفين بس مش للجهلة يا جاهل يالي مش ملحد انت، وبالنسبة للنوم هيطير وانت مفقوع مالوصف المسترسل ده، كان ناقص يقول نوع الشامبو الي كانت بتحطه واشمعنا النوع ده بالذات وهل كانت تصفف شعرها ام كانت تأكل الجرجير وتشرب العسل ورزقها علي الله😑) إنها لو كانت ساكنة قدام البطلة ام شعر سايح كانت البطلة طلعت تنشف شعرها فالشباك عشان تغيظ الملكة وتقلل من قيمة كل مجوهراتها وهداياها. *صوت صرصور الحقل وانا بقرأ مع ايموجي مفقوع 😑😑*
ماشي خلاص يسكت بقي؟ لأ ازااااي
راح جايب سيرة سيدنا سليمان عليه السلام!
وشوف التشبيه !
لو كان الملك سليمان بواب العمارة (مع كامل احترامي للبوابين) الي هما ساكنين فيها كان البطل هيعدي قدامه يوريله الساعة الي فايده عشان يغيظه والملك بكل الكنوز الي عنده ف بدروم العمارة كان هيتغاظ !!
طبعا هنا انا كنت اتفقعت وسيبت الكتاب وقومت ودورت يمكن يكون في سليمان تاني غير سيدنا سليمان بس مفيش هو واحد بس !
ما تخليكوا ف إلحادكوا اكتبوا عنه وملكوش دعوة بأي حد او حاجة ليها علاقة بمعتقد ناس تانية عشان عيب.
ومش كاتبة انجليزي اعتزازا باللغة العربية مش اكتر 🥰
المهم ده يعلمنا اننا قبل ما نجيب اي كتاب او رواية، نقرأ عن الكاتب الأول ونشوفه عاقل كده وابن ناس ومحترم فبالتالي اختياراته هتبقي زيه ولا زي ال Señora دي.
والأهم لا يخدعك اللون الأزرق والسما والنجوم والقمر عن الي ربنا ما يوريك فالكتاب من جوا !

A good friend found this book for me and hoped it would help relax me after a stressful couple of years.
I can say it definitely helped me relax at bedtime and most of the stories and all of the poems soothed me.
I will say though that it started strong and became gradually worse towards the end. It may just be me but the stories in the first half were just easier to read and more enjoyable.
It started really strong with The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry. I knew the plot but don't think I'd ever read it before; it was delightful. The Mouse by Saki was next; it brought a smile to my face as I realised it was almost the plot of one of my favourite Mr Bean segments.
Other standouts due to their whimsical, fairy tale feel were East of the Sun, West of the Moon by Andrew Lang and The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde. I read the latter as a child, and I still see the illustrations from that book in my mind when I read it today.
I loved each poem, but my favourites were To Sleep by Wordsworth and Wynken, Blynken & Nod by Eugene Field.
This book is testament to the facts that adults too enjoy simple fairy tales as well as heavy doses of nostalgia.

Mis preferidos: “Xingú” de Edith Wharton, entretenido , pícaro y se lee con una sonrisa y facilidad... “El Gigante Egoísta” de Oscar Wilde, todo un clásico que no me canso de releer; un extracto de “Ana de las Tejas Verdes” en espera de la próxima temporada en Netflix, pues está muy bien. Creo que en general los cuentos cumplen con su cometido de calmar la mente y mi nota real es 3 1/2.

„Unde, în lumea oamenilor, poate fi găsit extazul suprem, care face și din zi, și din noapte, o încântare, extazul ca scop, extazul mulțimilor și extazul unic, al unui singur trup și suflet, extazul sub lumina lunii? Unde, în inimile noastre, este acea cunoaștere transcendentă, care unește soarele și întunericul, ziua și noaptea, spiritul și simțurile? De ce nu știm că cele două ființe în extaz sunt una singură; că fiecare este doar o parte, pentru totdeauna incompletă și singură, dar că împreună, în extaz, cele două sunt perfecte, dincolo de spațiul însingurării sau al solitudinii?„ din „Torcătoarea și călugării” de D.H. Lawrence
„Peste coline
E acum pace,
În toți copacii
Nu se aude
Nicio suflare;
Păsările dorm în copac:
Așteaptă, ca ele
Curând vei adormi.„ - Goethe

Най-нежната книга, която съм чела досега! Тъмната корица леко ме подлъга, че ще има загадъчни разкази с неочакван край, но не...те просто са идеалния край за деня, за да заспите с хубави мисли. Почти всички разкази и стихотворения ми харесаха, което попринцип не ми се случва с подобни формати. Естествено не всички ми станаха любими, но има такива дето те оставят замечтан и заличават впечатлението от предишните. Веднага се привързах към разказа Хайди от Йохана Спири, все едно се пренесох на село и си помечтах да гледам небето легнала върху легло от сено.. Да не говорим за изключително умиляващия разказ "Вятър във върбите", извисяващия стил на "Ливадни размисли", поучителния край на "Трите въпроса, магическият реализъм на "Лелята и Амабел". Заслужава си на 100% да я имате.

Сборниците не са моето нещо. Много трудно и бавно чета подобни книги. Докато си представя героите, ситуациите и влезна в историята, вече сме в друго произведение на друг автор. Има много интересни истории, но събраните кратки откъси от много автори в рамките на една книга, ми прилича на манджа с грозде. Предпочитам да прочета едно произведение в 300 страници, отколкото 30 в 300стр. Само заради това давам оценка 3 звезди. :)

I have “finished” this audiobook multiple times. It’s on Spotify Premium and I always put it on when I need help sleeping, and it works as well as my usual meditations. I feel like most of the negative reviews are from ppl reading physical copies.

I have trouble sleeping and loved the idea of a book of pleasant short stories to help me get to sleep. Unfortunately, the lack of editing in this book just stressed me out. The book desperately needs a copyeditor. It has an incredible number of punctuation and spacing errors, especially missing commas and periods. There are some glaring misspellings and spacing issues as well. By page 17, I had found 2 missing periods, 5 missing commas, 1 misspelling, and 2 spacing errors. There were also some sentences that were just so awkwardly worded (e.g., "You will almost probably ...") that I wondered if English was not the author's first language. Anyway, the concept of this book was good, but definitely save your money and find a different book of short stories!

Това са приказки за лека нощ, които пренасят читателя в съновен свят на тайни градини, топли питки, на дъждовни капки и копринени чорапи. Английското заглавие ми се струва по-подходящо, защото “stressed out adults” не са деликатните души, а изнурените, които се нуждаят от почивка. Книгата напомня за моментите, в които като малък четеш съсредоточено и си позволяваш да повярваш в магията. Придрямва ти се в люлката на разказа, която се поклаща с твоя собствен ритъм.

قراءته مترجم الى العربية مترجم بطريقة سيئة جدا و واضح ان المترجمة استخدمت في بعض الاجزاء مترجم جوجل فكرة الكتاب غريبة ان تقص الكاتبه بعض الفصول من قصص معينة او مقتطفات من روايات شهيرة مثل الفصل العاشر والحادي عشر من الحديقة السرية مثلا... لم استمتع به ولا انصح بشراءه واعتقد انه لم يتذوقة الا من قرأ القصص الاصلية ...
الغلاف تصميمة رائع لا يمكن للصورة ان تنقله استخدمت دار النشر نفس التصميم للكتاب العربي

An eclectic mix of excerpts from some of our well loved classics, short stories and a bit of poetry to round it out. I enjoyed revisiting some of the classics and enjoyed some of the short stories and poetry but if it wasn’t for my complete obstinance about not finishing this book I’m afraid I would’ve given it up a third of the way in.

This was a cute book, mainly a combination of excerpts from existing literary works. It was a pleasure to read and stirred up some real nostalgia, as I'd read a lot of these stories as a child. It felt kind of like catching a glimpse of an old friend's life through your Facebook feed.

Две звезди с 300 зора. Имаше някои много интересни разкази и откъси, но 80% от останалите бяха почти пълна загуба на време, пък и с пълна липса на каквото и да било действие.
