Elegantly covering topics such as the nature of reality, the power of memory and the priceless value of literature, in this sophisticated collection of essays, Woolf more than ever focuses her attention on the fleeting moments of life that meaningfully shape the human experience. In the title essay, The Moment, she pursues the powerful, albeit brief, moments that enable a potent feeling of being utterly understood, and consequently, wholeheartedly alive.

YOU HAVE A NEW MEMORY is a deeply human inventory of the digital sphere, a searing analysis of the present and a prescient assessment of the future. In her highly anticipated debut, Aiden Arata brings us raw reportage from the liminal space between online and offline worlds, illuminating how we got here and where to go next.

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.

In this collection of essays, the author of Demon Copperhead and The Lacuna brings to us (out of one of history's darker moments) an extended love song to the world we still have. From its opening parable gleaned from recent news about a lost child saved in an astonishing way, the book moves on to consider a world of surprising and hopeful prospects ranging from an inventive conservation scheme in a remote jungle to the backyard flock of chickens tended by the author's small daughter.

We All Tell Stories: A Philosophical Indictment of the Myth-Maker's Art Thomas G. Jewusiak’s We All Tell Stories arrives not with a trumpet but with a scalpel. It does not announce itself—it intervenes. It contains no filler, no ornamental excess. Instead, it strikes with precision at the soft tissue of cultural storytelling, challenging the reader to examine how stories manipulate, mask, and even metabolize the truths we would rather not face. In a literary culture saturated with self-congratulatory memoirs, sanitized social critiques, and market-tested narratives, We All Tell Stories ...

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 ...

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.

Depuis toujours, Claire Berest ausculte le point de bascule de nos vies, que ce soit dans l'espace du couple ou dans l'espace social. En 2024, elle a suivi les audiences du procès des viols de Mazan pour Paris Match. De cette expérience et de son obsession du fait divers, dans un subtil jeu de miroir entre introspection et enquête, elle signe un récit fascinant sur les coulisses du mal et sur une femme devenue l'emblème du combat féministe.
