A reader comments that I'm best at "fishing out strange stories from random people whom no one would otherwise hear about." These tales are only strange because each of our struggling life is unique. Yours, too, is freakish, but we're all still here, in whatever condition. Not just portraits, these are also depictions of places, so you'll be plunged into Philadelphia, Saigon, Vung Tau, Skopje, Shkoder, Pakse and Kracheh, etc. Any exoticism, though, is superficial. This book is your mirror.

Podría utilizar la expresión más frecuente: "sin duda", o buscar un sinónimo más contundente como "a bocajarro" o "a quemarropa", pero no he vacilado en poner título a este tomo con la carencia (sin) del sustantivo femenino "hesitación" del latín ("haesitatio, -ōnis"), que significa "duda", para confirmar que las reflexiones que guarda este libro son a las que he llegado después de valorar la existencia y el mundo que me rodea. Reflexiones - Convicciones - Ponderaciones - Crítica Social. *** Este libro se publica con fecha en mayo de 2025 para conmemorar el Día Internacional de ...

There are moments throughout our lives when we discover an artist, an album, a film, or a cultural artifact that leaves a lasting impression, helping inform how we understand the world, and ourselves, moving forward. In No Sense in Wishing, Lawrence Burney explores these profound interactions with incisive and energizing prose, offering us a personal and critical perspective on the people, places, music, and art that transformed him.

Leopold's essays on conservation will open the mind of any listener who gives them a chance. The first part uses essays for each of the 12 months to share the rhythm of life on his restored Wisconsin farmland, and uses the stories to branch into eye opening lessons on the history of man's use and abuse of it. The second part continues using stories from Leopold's experiences in wild places across North America to expand the lessons to a much wider view. The final part of the work seeks to lay out a better path for humanity, using solid logic and deep philosophical questioning.

En un relato personal, íntimo y profundo, a raíz de su propia experiencia con un padre alcohólico, Olivia Laing nos propone una nueva perspectiva para entender los procesos creativos de seis célebres escritores norteamericanos partiendo de sus biografías y su relación con el alcohol. Mientras viaja desde la Nueva York de Cheever hasta la Nueva Orleans de Williams y desde el Cayo Hueso de Hemingway hasta el Port Angeles de Carver, Laing une las piezas de este mapa topográfico del alcoholismo, desde los horrores de la adicción hasta la milagrosa posibilidad de la rehabilitación.

In A Room of One’s Own, Virginia Woolf’s classic six-part essay, the iconic Modernist writer takes on the misogyny of writing, publishing, and creativity in her time. Through the imagined sister of William Shakespeare, who in her argument possesses the same talent and intellect as the famous playwright, Woolf lays out the fundamental truth that one requires room to express creativity and time to explore and see it through. Genius unexpressed is genius nonetheless, and had Shakespeare’s sister the means to make her own art, she would have had the same lasting legacy as her brother.

A debut essay collection by the inimitable cultural critic Maris Kreizman—an introspective, searing account of the life experiences that have pushed this former “good Democrat” even further to the political left.

Crescere dei bambini non è affatto facile, e a volte perdere la pazienza sembra inevitabile. Ma, quando la situazione lo richiede, come fare a imporre divieti e limitazioni, e a sedare epici capricci, senza urlare e minacciare punizioni o senza diventare troppo permissivi? L'autrice ha trovato la risposta nel metodo dell'educazione gentile, che insegna ai genitori a crescere i bambini con l'amore e la serenità che serve a entrambi.
