Esperia School and Work
Ikeda talks with young people on the issues of study and work. "Youth is the battlefield where suffering and hope struggle. Who will win? It absolutely must be hope that wins. No matter how much you are suffering right now, always remember that you were born to win. Because if you do not give up, you can be sure that the dawn will surely rise. Never forget that you possess the invincible sword capable of breaking any suffering." These are the words with which the author addresses readers in the epilogue of a volume that deals with the issues of study and career choices. These are particularly hot topics, with respect to which everyone is called upon to bring his or her whole self to bear. Indeed, at the basis of every achievement, as Daisaku Ikeda points out, there is always an energetic challenge, fueled by a profound hope directed toward the future.

IBISG Study materials for the first and second level Buddhism exams
The text of this volume has been formulated by the Study Department of the Soka Gakkai International (SGI) for the purpose of providing, globally, a valuable study reference for the fundamental principles of Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism. As the Italian Soka Gakkai, we have chosen to adopt this text as part of the study material for the first- and second-level examination.Beginning with the life of Nichiren Daishonin, the founder of our teaching, providing a basic approach to the fundamental tenets of this Buddhism, and ending with the history of the Soka Gakkai and its emancipation from the clergy of the Nichiren Shoshu, the text contained in this book outlines the distinctive features of Nichiren Buddhism as a world religion based on humanism and human revolution, that process of "empowerment," possible through faith in the Gohonzon, which is able to produce change not only in the individual's immediate environment but to shape the destiny of humanity as a whole.We are therefore confident that the reading will be engaging not only for those preparing to take the first- and second-level examinations, but for all people interested in learning about the fundamental principles of Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism as disseminated worldwide by the International Soka Gakkai.

Esperia editions The Eternal City
The novel opens with the 1900 Jubilee in Rome, at the height of the diatribe between the Vatican and the Italian state over the temporal power of the Church. Against this backdrop are the social claims of the time, animated by a Christian socialism with which Caine himself was imbued. Davide Rossi is a Leftist deputy who fights for the people and opposes a corrupt prime minister, who will try to prevent the crowning romance between Rossi and Donna Roma Volonna. Caine lingered in Rome for a long time, visiting every place depicted in the novel; the descriptions of Regina Coeli, the Vatican and its ceremonies, the city's fashionable places and its squares teeming with ordinary people restore the climate of the time. The book is imbued with a religious sense of life, and the characters, even the most abject, are described compassionately, as a true investigator of the human soul. Reading this text more than a century after its release one cannot but be struck by the author's visionary ability: he foresaw for Italy, albeit in terms of "fantapolitics," the dictatorship, the abdication of the monarchy and the birth of the Republic, forty years in advance. Thomas Henry Hall Caine (1853-1931) wrote some fifteen novels, true best-sellers, which earned him the title of "Sir" in 1917. The Isle of Sin (1894) is the best known of his works, thanks to A. Hitchcock's film adaptation in 1929. The Christian (1897) was the first book to sell one million copies in England. Pietro Mascagni set the stage version of The Eternal City to music in 1902.
