About the only reason Winslow “Hanger” Strickland enrolled in and occasionally attended classes at Ridgeview College was so he could play on his intramural football team of which he was the quarterback. Then, the Ridgeview Campus newspaper, in a special edition, announced that Stephan Kahn Kohelth, one of the wealthiest, most respected, and powerful men in the nation had accepted the Wordsworth Lectureship invitation for the fall semester. This great event was not to be missed and Hanger was certainly not going to. There was only one problem for him. In order to attend the lectures ...

¿Qué pasaría si descubrieras que no eres tan libre como crees? Vivimos en un mundo donde la palabra libertad se repite con insistencia, como un eco vacío en discursos, lemas y promesas. Se nos dice que somos libres porque podemos elegir, movernos, votar, opinar. Pero, ¿y si eso fuera solo una ilusión? ¿Y si la verdadera prisión no estuviera afuera, sino adentro? El precio de la libertad. Una batalla por la libertad auténtica no es un libro de autoayuda tradicional. No trae fórmulas mágicas ni recetas rápidas. Es una invitación honesta, profunda y a veces incómoda, a mirar ...

Der Sklavenaufstand in der Moral beginnt damit, dass das Ressentiment selbst schöpferisch wird und Werthe gebiert: das Ressentiment solcher Wesen, denen die eigentliche Reaktion, die der That, versagt ist, die sich nur durch eine imaginäre Rache schadlos halten. Während alle vornehme Moral aus einem triumphierenden Ja-sagen zu sich selber herauswächst, sagt die Sklaven-Moral von vornherein Nein zu einem "Außerhalb", zu einem "Anders", zu einem "Nicht-selbst": und dies Nein ist ihre schöpferische That.

Why do we crave what we know we shouldn’t? Why does that first bite, secret glance, or forbidden thrill always taste the sweetest? Naughty by Nature: Why We Can’t Stop Chasing Pleasure peels back the sheets on human desire—exploring the science, psychology, and everyday mischief of what it means to chase a good time (even when it lands us in trouble). With wit as sharp as temptation itself, JD Arden dives into guilty pleasures, everyday highs, addictive lows, and all the delicious contradictions in between.

El somni és una obra complexa i singular, capaç de mirar-se de prop i amb un gran sentit de l'humor els aspectes més prosaics de la vida quotidiana però també d'elevar-se fins a les idees filosòfiques més transcendents. Metge, tancat a la presó per acusacions de malversació i corrupció, comença a somiar i se li presenten el personatge del rei mort recentment, Joan I, i dels personatges mitològics Orfeu i Tirèsies, amb els quals obre un diàleg en què discuteixen des de la immortalitat de l'ànima, d'algunes aficions excessives o dels defectes i virtuts d'homes i dones.
