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.

Story
Леонид Липавский (1904–1941) не самый известный член кружка «чинарей» (Хармс, Введенский, Олейников, Друскин), но в его трактатах, написанных в почти античной диалогической форме, кристаллизировались спекулятивные концепции, которые являются выражением духа "чинарей" и попыткой категоризировать распадающийся мир. В издание вошли работы Исследование ужаса, Разговоры, О телесном сочетании, Сны, О преобразованиях, Определенное, Головокружение, дополненные статьей к. филос. н. Анастасии Тороповой.

Story
Niente canne, né spleen, né amori perduti nel crudo Nordest.Ci sono milioni di italiani a cui questo paese piace esattamente così comè. Sono piccoli imprenditori che hanno fatto fortuna prima della crisi, oggi alle prese con crediti in sofferenza e fatture difficili da scontare. Sono famiglie totalmente assorbite dallimpegno di mandare avanti il lavoro, lattività, abituate a giudicare severamente il conflitto e la divagazione. Persone che credono nel denaro e nella possibilità del successo per chiunque sia disposto a sacrificarsi.

Es gibt wohl keinen anderen Autoren, der nach wie vor so omnipräsent ist wie Oscar Wilde. Seine Zitate begegnen uns auf Werbeplakaten, verzieren Kaffeetassen, Geschenkartikel, Postkarten, Sofakissen, Bierdeckel und sonstige bedruckbare Gegenstände. Lifestyle-, Mode- und Gesellschaftsmagazine schmücken sich damit und Kneipen, Restaurants, Hotels und Unternehmen verwenden diese als Motto.

EL ESPERADO REGRESO DE MARUJA TORRES. Vivir para contarlo. Tal vez sea una frase muy manida, pero lo cierto es que resume a la perfección el retorno a las librerías de una de las voces más descaradas de nuestro país. Maruja Torres saca punta a las rutinas de su día a día para conservar los destellos de un mundo que se apaga a través de reflexiones hilarantes sobre vivir más (o menos) y mejor (o como se pueda). Un divertido y afilado ejercicio de adaptación a una vida que justo se empieza a comprender cuando nos acercamos al final de la escalera.

Karl Kraus gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Aphoristiker deutscher Sprache. Ob berühmte Schriftsteller oder die Presse - nichts und niemand wurde von der gnadenlosen Kritik seiner Feder verschont. Bekannte Künstler wie Stefan Zweig, Georg Trakl, Thomas Mann und andere zollten ihm Respekt, aber die Zahl seiner Feinde in Kunst und Gesellschaft war enorm. Als Vorleser hinterließ er aufgrund seiner Sprachgewalt und Persönlichkeit angeblich einen äußerst außergewöhnlichen Eindruck.
