It is at least commendable that Mr Dalio dedicates time - and a big effort - to better understand the cycles of life - and to elucidate and systematize them for a broader audience. I, as one, am very grateful for his insights and the shared knowledge….

You will learn more of what life is all about by reading an exceptional writer like him than almost doing anything else. Enjoy yourself, treat you with a treat and … learn!

Julian Barnes does not need an introduction. But his short (what a pity!) reminiscing about ideas and facts of his life are intelligent and thought provoking even when kind of hilarious… either for the text or his reading… do not miss it!

All that we praise in another of the great minds of Vienna’s past are here: a novel within a novel which makes for good entertainment - and a few useful lessons!

And incredible and poetic description of a fascinating bird… It is quite impossible to commend Mr Baker well enough for his comments on so formidable a task which brought me one of the best books I read this year.

The renowned scholar-author gives us an oasis in the desert of Academia and Public Policy thought. Throughout the chapters in which he addresses each and every issue concerning the fallacies that abound in the political discourse of modern times, his wisdom and down-to- earth analyses should be an example for those who care, and want to do something about about a (so-called) social agenda.

The stories are vintage Dalrymple. The impasses he brings to life and the irony while dealing with them are excellent social criticism - and (maybe) one of the best forms to deal with life’s dramas: irony, what else with so much cynicism? Behind the façade and good behavior of uptight Englishman (woman), the impatience and carelessness towards your fellow human neighbor…. empathy has no place in the world he brings us!

It is uncommon to find good literature written in a second language. The examples that come to mind (Wilde, Nabokov, Beckett, Conrad …) only prove the point. But this authoress writes with flavor and makes for a very good entertainment. Taste it !

For those of the same backgrounds - or differing ones - anyone can profit from hearing these many stories unfolding in front of our very eyes and presenting unheard of heroes whose example mark many lives. You do not need to subscribe to all there is here (and elsewhere) but the lessons and the apology of ethics and good character are worth repeating for they bear fruit mostly through the strong imprint that they leave. It’s like walking the talking as commonly said…

After a successful and comprehensive history of the poles of dissonance in today’s political world, a drop of utopia to sign a direction - possibilities - regardless of the actual challenges and the character of the so-called sapiens. You will profit from dreaming a better place - for you and me!
