Resumen del Editor
Pubblicato sotto forma di libello, nel 1727, "The Friendly Daemon, Or, the Generous Apparition" riporta lo scambio epistolare fra Duncan Campbell - guarito dall'epilessia per il fortuito intervento di un angelo custode - e il suo medico, a cui viene chiesto un parere professionale su quanto avvenuto. L'uomo, esortato a dire la propria, finirà col raccontare altri eventi simili, esibendosi poi in un’erudita disamina di tutte le tecniche più strane utilizzate per guarire dai mali peggiori.
A metà strada fra il racconto fittizio e la cronaca giornalistica, Il demone amichevole ci offre una visione a tutto tondo della scienza medica nel Settecento, introducendoci inoltre allo studio delle materie occulte e degli eventi paranormali. Un racconto sfaccettato, insomma, e proprio per questo di estremo interesse per chi ami Daniel Defoe e la sua scrittura.
Questo audiolibro è stato realizzato in collaborazione con Edizioni Clichy.
Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) nasce nei sobborghi di Londra, figlio di un mercante di candele presbiteriano. Si dedica fin da giovane agli affari, avviando nel corso della propria vita innumerevoli attività. Incarcerato prima per bancarotta (1692), poi per blasfemia (1702), sconta la pena umiliante della gogna. Separatosi dalla moglie, non rivedrà mai più i suoi sette figli, dedicandosi, da allora in poi, esclusivamente al giornalismo. Quelli che diventeranno i suoi maggiori romanzi, pubblicati negli ultimi anni di vita, vengono da Defoe spacciati per storie vere, al fine di venderli e pagare i suoi molti debiti. Considerato, anche per questo aspetto picaresco, il padre del moderno romanzo inglese, è passato alla storia con capolavori quali "Robinson Crusoe" e "Fortune e sfortune della famosa Moll Flanders".

If you ask a Finn, they will likely be as baffled as you are. That’s why Melanie Dower, an expat who has been living in Finland for the past decade, has taken up the charge. Her vantage as an outsider entrenched in Finnish culture uniquely positions her to identify the keys to Finnish happiness that elude the rest of the world and that Finns take for granted. From sauna to strong social safety nets, Finnish life is made up of a constellation of habits and structures that leave its residents relaxed, healthy, and fulfilled.

In How to Release Anxiety, Gabby Bernstein offers simple, actionable steps for feeling better, living with more ease, and showing up for those around us. Gabby’s unusual advice: Rather than manage your anxiety, what if you befriended it? Gabby posits that what we befriend, we can ultimately be at ease with. So she invites us to get curious.

For women, the possibility of experiencing medical gaslighting—having a healthcare provider dismiss or ignore their concerns without considering appropriate testing or creating a treatment plan—has always been a very real and present danger, with consequences ranging from self-doubt and emotional stress to delayed diagnosis and death. And being a woman of color, transgender, or disabled only compounds the risk. In Medical Gaslighting, you’ll equip yourself with the tools you need to be fully heard at every step of the process.

These days, no one in America feels immune to violence. But now, in this extraordinary, groundbreaking book, the nation's leading expert on predicting violent behavior unlocks the puzzle of human violence and shows that, like every creature on earth, we have within us the ability to predict the harm others might do us and get out of its way. Contrary to popular myth, human violence almost always has a discernible motive and is preceded by clear warning signs.

Based on seven years of ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, I Thought It Was Just Me shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together.
