Acropolis News

We told one, two and many more stories during a new meeting of the ‘Booksharing’ club at the Girasol Café. The main focus of our discussion were the inspiring stories of the famous writer Jorge Bucay.

From 11 to 14 of May 2017 New Acropolis Prague presented its books and magazines on the international book fair and literary festival Book World. The presentation included the tetralogy about Plato, written by František Novotný, a man who managed to translate all works of the Greek philosopher into Czech. The tetralogy was financed by the Ministry of Culture of Czech Republic. Another popular newly published book was “Templars” by D.S.Guzman.

The “New Acropolis” in Heraklion, organized a book presentation on “The Secret Doctrine of Plato.” The author of the book Mr. Savvas Pattakos, spoke about the basic ideas that are analyzed in the book. Then,  he signed copies of the book with special dedications to all participants.

During their forth encounter, the ‘Book Club’ discussed the work of Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quijote de la Mancha, the story of a hero who tries to restore lost values to humanity. Participants discussed the symbolism of the book as well as the relevance of Don Quixote with regards to our current times.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxOOOCxJ2jY

Books are our best companions on the road to knowledge. The reading group of New Acropolis Patras, organized once again an evening dedicated to reading and discussion, open to the participation of all.

The Book Club that promotes and organizes the Seneca Library, presented the book entitled: “The Trail of the Dragon. Nature and Symbol in Alchemy, Mythology and Christianity” by its author Saulo Ruíz.

The Trail of the Dragon is a remarkable text about mysteries that have lain hidden for centuries, forgotten in their own obscurity due to the loss of the esoteric meaning behind them. Now a path to their understanding opens up before us, clarifying a very significant era in the history of thought, dispelling the mists of the origin and future of the cosmos, transforming our conception of the world and furthering the sublimation of the individual.

New Acropolis Tirana organized another book club meeting, an opportunity to share and discuss big ideas through different times. The book of the month was The Road Less Traveled by Scott Peck, presenting an enriching perspective of love and traditional values. The power of this book stands on the fact that it shows a road, not an ordinary one, but a road through which every person can perceive and experience spiritual growth.
