Doris, vida mía alumbra aspectos de la vida y obra de una de las más grandes intelectuales y poetas: su vida amorosa y su dimensión como lesbiana que por décadas estuvieron ocultas.

Will Dowd takes us on a whimsical journey through one year of New England weather in this engaging collection of essays. As unpredictable as its subject, Areas of Fog combines wit and poetry with humor and erudition. A fun, breezy, and discursive listen, it is an intellectual game that exposes the artificiality of genres.

Verdad, progreso, tiempo, identidad, política, realidad, conciencia, bondad.... Son palabras que, en su esencia, nos pertenecen a todos y nos unen por encima de cualquier diferencia. Pero estamos asistiendo a una transformación dirigida de sus significados para conseguir que definan realidades mucho más parciales e interesadas, mucho menos universales. Luis García Montero las recupera aquí, las alisa, les devuelve su sentido original y las rehabilita en su valor integral.

Nachdem Gottfried Keller durch Konfrontation mit der Realität zur Einsicht gelangte, dass der Beruf des Landschaftsmalers seiner Erwartungshaltung bezüglich eines regelmäßigen und sicheren Einkommens nicht genügte, ebnete eine Laune des Schicksals ihm einen anderen Lebensweg. Aus Langeweile schreibt Keller ein paar Verse, die überraschenderweise sogar veröffentlicht werden und zwar nicht im Eigenverlag.

Shaun Usher brings together fascinating correspondence about the universe beyond our planet, containing hopeful thoughts about the future of space travel, awestruck messages penned about the world beyond our own, and celebrations of the human ingenuity that has facilitated our understanding of the cosmos.

La presencia de diversos personajes, como una abuela furibunda y su hermana "libertina", salpica de humor, pero también de fragilidad, las páginas de esta obra que se borda entre el sueño y la vigilia. León de Lidia es un libro inclasificable con historias autónomas, un cuaderno de imágenes y dibujos, una colección de retratos familiares o imaginarios y, sobre todo, una conmovedora novela fragmentaria en la que Myriam Moscona asume las marcas de su singularidad estética. Con una prosa decantada que abreva de su herencia mexicana, búlgara y sefardí...

As a young man, Narendra Modi had got into the habit of writing a letter to the Mother Goddess, whom he addressed as jagat janani, every night before going to bed. The topics were varied: there were seething sorrows, fleeting joys, lingering memories. In Modi's writings there was the enthusiasm of a youngster and the passion to usher in change. But every few months, Modi would tear up the pages and consign them to a bonfire. The pages of one diary, dating back to 1986, survived, however. 

Friedrich Nietzsche gilt bis heute als Spitze der philosophischen Nahrungskette. Sein umfassendes Werk deckt wissenschaftliche, künstlerische, philosophische und philologische Schriften ab. Nietzsche beeinflusste Maler, Literaten, Musiker, Wissenschaftler und Künstler aller sogenannten Genres und birgt nach wie vor gesellschaftliches Dynamit. Gerade wegen der Zeitlosigkeit und Aktualität seiner Schriften haben es keinerlei Gruppierungen jeglicher Art versäumt, sich schamlos an aus dem Zusammenhang gerissenen Formulierungen Nietzsches zu bedienen und auf ihre Fahnen zu schmieren.

This is the gripping, urgent and moving diary of young Ukrainian refugee Yeva Skalietska. It follows twelve days in Ukraine that changed 12-year-old Yeva's life forever. She was woken in the early hours to the terrifying sounds of shelling. Russia had invaded Ukraine, and her beloved Kharkiv home was no longer the safe haven it should have been. It was while she and her granny were forced to seek shelter in a damp, cramped basement that Yeva decided to write down her story. And it is a story that the world needs to hear.

In 2013, Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani was illegally detained on Manus Island. He has been there ever since. This book is the result. Laboriously tapped out on a mobile phone and translated from the Farsi. It is a voice of witness, an act of survival. A lyric firsthand account. A cry of resistance. A vivid portrait through five years of incarceration and exile.

Nguyen Nhat Anh's journal does not just discuss Quang noodles. He said everything in the sky under the pool. From food to calligraphy, from theater to movie, from home to office, from supermarket to street, from Saigon to the West...He discusses everything: From big and small, from fake goods to Hollywood uprising, from Cophaco fans to Ba Tieu fans...He also likes everything: From reading advertisements to listening to reforms on the Tien River, from watching football to watching flowers dig in paintings, then "chat"...

Im November 1974 bricht Werner Herzog zu einer Wanderung von München nach Paris auf. Sollte er die französische Hauptstadt erreichen - das ist seine feste Überzeugung -, würde die von ihm verehrte Filmhistorikerin Lotte Eisner am Leben bleiben. Vom Gehen im Eis ist eine große, zu Herzen gehende Meditation über Leben und Tod - ein Wortfilm, der neben den mehr als vierzig Spiel- und Dokumentarfilmen von Werner Herzog eine ganz eigene Ausstrahlung und Magie besitzt.

World War II rises in its vastness and complexity over the rest of human history. A number of victims difficult to conceive, never surpassed by any other conflict - this is an insurmountable encyclopedia on war. This diary of the Second World War has been able to cover all facets of the conflict, and it is a fundamentally empirical work that narrates events as they occurred. This episode contains, day by day, the month of October 1941.  

On croit connaître Louise Michel : c'est la "Vierge rouge" de la Commune, c'est la révolutionnaire, c'est la pasionaria de la Commune et de la Troisième République.

What is it like to be a wife of a politician in modern-day Britain? Sasha Swire finally lifts the lid. For more than two decades she has kept a secret diary detailing the trials and tribulations of being a political plus-one; the travel, the security, the challenges to family life and the unpredictable events.

My name is Quinn and in one night my life changed forever. I lost not only part of my family, but also a huge part of who I was. Struggling to make it through each dark day, uncertain of everything in my life, I’m barely living just existing until a professional suggests I start writing down my thoughts in a journal.

Bölls berühmter Reisebericht ruft auf plastische Weise ein Irland wach, wie es Ende der fünfziger Jahre des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts gewesen ist, als die Insel noch eines der ärmsten und rückständigsten Länder Westeuropas war. Auch wenn sich seither natürlich viel gewandelt hat, liefern Bölls liebevolle, genau beobachtete und außerordentlich treffende Stimmungsbilder aus dem irischen Alltag auch heute noch eine Art vertieften Einblick in die unverändert gebliebene "Seele" Irlands.
