Historia
We remember Audre Lorde as an iconic writer, a quotable teacher whose words and face grace T-shirts, nonprofit annual reports, and campus diversity-center walls. But even those who are inspired by Lorde’s teachings on “the creative power of difference” may be missing something fundamental about her life and work, and what they can mean for us today. Lorde’s understanding of survival was not simply about getting through to the other side of oppression or being resilient in the face of cancer. It was about the total stakes of what it means to be in relationship with a planet in transformation.

The second half of life can be just as wild as the first half. This is a true story of love, loss, sex, earth, spirit, writing, and adventure after ‘the change.’ In this story people die, the author sleeps with three men, she ingests magic mushrooms, is threatened by a wild tiger, and dances naked with a famous artist. Then there is the meta layer of what happens after the wild story is written down and shared.

Franzen über Franzen: Seine persönlichsten Erinnerungen. Jonathan Franzen hatte als Junge nicht nur vor Umkleideräumen und Quallen Angst. Zu Hause kam er sich wie Snoopy vor, der zwischen größeren Wesen einer anderen Spezies lebt. Wenigstens unter Gleichaltrigen wollte er dazugehören, also mied er auf einer Fahrt ins christliche Feriencamp den Bus des »sozialen Tods«. Von einer Österreicherin in irritierend kurzem Rock lernte er erste Brocken Deutsch, und bei seinem Versuch, seine Jungfräulichkeit zu verlieren, spielte Kafka eine Rolle – wie auch auf seinem Weg zum Schreiben.

Historia
Hay escritores con manías dignas de un loquero y vidas tan asombrosas que hacen palidecer a las de sus propios personajes. Novelistas incapaces de escribir una página sin tener una copa en la mano o tan prolíficos que acabaron asfixiados en su propio ego. Un Hemingway yéndose al otro mundo en circunstancias exactas a la que eligió su padre, dos de sus hermanas y una nieta. Un Scott Fitzgerald que entraba a los casinos a cuatro patas o una Virginia Woolf que no soportaba leer sus textos.

Historia
The Amputee’s Guide to Jules Verne is a listener's guide to every novel Jules Verne wrote; in that respect alone, there is no other book like it on the market. But it’s more than that. Nick DiMartino has included several essays evaluating Verne’s overall approach as a writer and the values embodied in his work. He has included as well a number of deeply personal essays about his struggles with the loneliness, pain, and lack of mobility that came with being an amputee.

Historia
Человек недостойный – самая известная повесть Осаму Дадзая. Произведение во многом автобиографическое – многие критики считают, что в образе Ёдзо Оба изображен сам автор: страдающий человек, который разрушает свою жизнь, не найдя в ней места. И, словно бы подведя этим черту под собственным существованием и вложив в повесть всего себя, вскоре после выхода "Человека недостойного" Дадзай бросился в один из токийских водосборников. Это произведение известно во всем мире. Оно легло в основу фильма, манги, нескольких аниме. Повесть публикуется в новом переводе.

Historia
Чувства к чешской журналистке Милене Есенской стали самым ярким переживанием в жизни "пражского гения". Их роман продлился недолго, но переписка продолжалась несколько лет. Именно Милене писатель передал свои дневники и ставшее позднее известным "Письмо отцу", а их непростые, эмоциональные отношения нашли отражение в главном произведении Кафки – романе "Замок". Эти письма без ответа отчасти напоминают дружескую переписку, наполненную тревожными мыслями, страхами, болезненными переживаниями и глубоким взаимопониманием. В них — другой Кафка, — романтик, нуждающийся в поддержке.

"Песенка в шесть пенсов и карман пшеницы" — две первые строчки известной английской песенки, а также названия не менее известных двух произведений Арчибальда Кронина, созданных в лучших традициях "романов воспитания" Диккенса, Бальзака и Флобера. Рассказ о судьбе юноши из Шотландии, мечтательного, амбициозного и наивного отразил многие автобиографические факты из жизни автора.

Душераздирающе трагическая, невероятно смешная и беззаветно честная автобиография одного из самых знаковых писателей Израиля. Мальчик рос в раздираемом войной Иерусалиме 40-50х годов в тесной квартире, битком набитой книгами на двенадцати языках и родственниками, на стольких же языках говорящими. В подростковые годы внезапная и трагическая смерть матери навсегда изменила его жизнь. Оставив позади душный мир своей семьи и их сообщество мечтателей, ученых и неудавшихся бизнесменов, юноша уезжает в кибуц, чтобы начать жизнь с нуля.

Frygtløs antinazist, antifascist: Demokrat til kernen af sit dna. Engel for udsatte børn. Munkeforførerske. Fredsven. Let gang på jorden, med et svæv som en gemse. Som ung racercyklist, kaproer, tennisspiller, sportsidiot. Fordomsfri, åbensindet. Radikal som da der var radikale til. Skribent second to none. Viggo Hørups datter. Først af alt journalist: "Den fremmeste i faget."

Historia
An "unleashed love song" to her late grandmother, Nickole Brown's collection brings her brassy, bawdy, tough-as-new-rope grandmother to life. With hair teased to Jesus, mile-long false eyelashes, and a white Cadillac Eldorado with atomic-red leather seats, Fanny is not your typical granny rocking in a chair. Instead, think of a character that looks a lot like Eva Gabor in Green Acres, but darkened with a shadow of Flannery O'Connor.

Historia
In 1945, the great American poet Ezra Pound was deemed insane. He was due to stand trial for treason for his fascist broadcasts in Italy during the war. Instead, he escaped a possible death sentence and was held at St. Elizabeths Hospital for the insane for more than a decade. While there, his visitors included the stars of modern poetry: T. S. Eliot, Elizabeth Bishop, Charles Olson, and William Carlos Williams, among others. They would sit with Pound on the hospital grounds and discuss everything from literary gossip to past escapades.
