هذا أوّل كتابٍ أُفرد للمرأة في حياة "طه حسين" وأدبه. فبرغم ما عرف عنه من أنّه كان نصير المرأة والدّاعي قولاً وفعلاً إلى تعليمها، إلّا أنّنا لا نجد سوى بحثٍ يتيمٍ هنا أو مقالٍ صحفيٍّ هناك عن علاقة "طه حسين بالمرأة". تتبّعتُ حضور المرأة في حياته سواءً أكان حضوراً طاغياً مثل زوجته سوزان، أم حضوراً خافتاً مثل أمّه وابنته، وعرضتُ لنساءٍ كان لهنّ تماسٌّ معه مثل حبّه الأول وتلميذته وحتى اللواتي اختلفن معه. واستقصيتُ النماذجَ النسوية التي وردت في أدبه من نساءٍ خاضعاتٍ ضعيفاتٍ إلى نساءٍ متعلّماتٍ متحدّيات، ومن مشرقيّاتٍ مستسلماتٍ لأقدارهنّ إلى أوروبيّاتٍ متحرّرات متحضّرات، في صوَرٍ متعدّدة الجوانب للمرأة عند "طه حسين"، عساها تعطي فكرةً لا أزعمها شاملةً، ولكنها كافيةٌ لتوضيح دور المرأة في حياته وانعكاس هذا الدّور على أدبه.

Half an hour later, the girls returned alone, claiming that Pauline’s mother had had an accident.

Stefan Zweig's memoir, The World of Yesterday, recalls the golden age of prewar Europe - its seeming permanence, its promise and its devastating fall with the onset of two world wars. Zweig's passionate, evocative prose paints a stunning portrait of an era that danced brilliantly on the brink of extinction. It is an unusually humane account of Europe from the closing years of the 19th century through to World War II, seen through the eyes of one of the most famous writers of his era.

Running with Scissors is the true story of a boy whose mother (a poet with delusions of being Anne Sexton) gave him away to be raised by her psychiatrist, a dead ringer for Santa and a lunatic in the bargain.

Kafka is one of 161 inspired-and inspiring-minds, among them, novelists, poets, playwrights, painters, philosophers, scientists, and mathematicians, who describe how they subtly maneuver the many (self-inflicted) obstacles and (self-imposed) daily rituals to get done the work they love to do, whether by waking early or staying up late; whether by self-medicating with doughnuts or bathing, drinking vast quantities of coffee, or taking long daily walks.

This is the story of a close, loving family splintered by the violent ideologies of Europe between the wars. Jessica was a Communist; Debo became the Duchess of Devonshire; Nancy was one of the best-selling novelists of her day; the ethereally beautiful Diana was the most hated woman in England; and Unity Valkyrie, born in Swastika, Alaska, would become obsessed with Adolf Hitler.

Audiolibro narrado en castellano. Este no es un libro más sobre Poe, no es un inventario de fechas, ni una repetición de mitos. Es un descenso, casi detectivesco, al lado más olvidado—y por ello más fascinante—del autor: sus obsesiones, sus derrotas, sus amores enfermizos, las pesadillas que vivió en carne propia y que, más que inspirar, sangraron directamente sobre sus páginas.

They were the Mitford sisters: Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica and Deborah. Born into country-house privilege, they became prominent as 'bright young things' in the high society of interwar London. Then, as the shadows crept over 1930s Europe, the stark – and very public – differences in their outlooks came to symbolise the political polarities of a dangerous decade.

إنه عملاق الأدب الفرنسي في القرن العشرين؛ وما زلنا الآن نعيش زمن بروست، كما قالت جوليا كريستيفا. ويرى كثير من النقّاد العالميين أن "السباعية هي أفضل إنجاز أدبي في عصرنا" (فالتر بنيامين)، لأنها أصبحت من أعمدة الثورة الروائية الآن. وفيها أراد بروست أن يفهمنا معنى الحياة والموت والذاكرة والزمن: تبدأ الجملة الأولى فيها بكلمة "زمن" وتنتهي بها. وبناها على غرار الكاتدرائيات القروسطية. لقد كتبها بروست بحيث تكون مفتوحة على الفلسفة والألسنية والسيميائية والتحليل النفسي، وأتت جملها شبيهة بجمل الكاتب اللاتيني شيشرون الفضفاضة sententia. وتُعَدّ السباعية أطول رواية في القرن العشرين (حوالي 4000 صفحة). وأنجزها بروست خلال 16 سنة، وكأن ساعة موته أرجئت حتى ينهيها، وتم له ذلك. يقول شيخ البروستيين في العالم، جان إيف تادييه: الإنكليز عندهم "شكسبير"، والألمان "غوته"، والروس "دستويفسكي"، والإيطاليون "دانتي"، والإسبان "ثيربانتيس". أما الفرنسيون فعندهم "بروست".
