Spojrzenie na historię poprzez pryzmat erotycznego życia władców. Autorka przedstawia w niej plejadę erotomanów, impotentów, homoseksualistów oraz ich żon: niekiedy nieszczęśliwych i neurotycznych, często nimfomanek i ladacznic. Tworzy barwny obraz królewskich alków, które były miejscami rozszalałych namiętności, a nierzadko druzgocących porażek. Stara się pokazać władców jako ludzi, z ich słabościami, perwersjami, wewnętrznymi dramatami. Opisuje rozrywki, jakim oddawano się na królewskich dworach, a także obyczajowość tamtych czasów.

He asumido hace tiempo que jamás lograré extirpar el dolor de mis pacientes, porque el dolor es parte constitutiva de la vida. No importa cuánto alguien se analice, de todos modos sufrirá si pierde un amor, o si muere un ser querido. El dolor es inevitable, pero no el padecimiento. Y esa diferencia es la que hace que cada día vuelva al consultorio. Sé que tampoco lograré que desaparezca en ellos la sensación, aunque a veces leve y susurrada, de soledad. Pero es así, pues, como decía aquella vieja canción, estamos todos solos.

A los humanos nos gusta pensar en nosotros mismos como criaturas racionales. Sin embargo, algunos de los momentos más excepcionales de la historia no tratan de acontecimientos sino de sentimientos: los orígenes de la filosofía, el nacimiento del cristianismo, la caída de Roma, la Revolución científica o los grandes conflictos bélicos del siglo XX no pueden entenderse sin las emociones.

In this book in praise of wait times, award-winning author Jason Farman passionately argues that the delay between call and answer has always been an important part of the message. Traveling backward from our current era of Twitter and texts, Farman describes how societies have worked to eliminate waiting in communication and how they have interpreted those times' meanings. And in a rebuttal to the demand for instant communication, Farman makes a powerful case for why good things can come to those who wait.

Жизнь американского философа Уильяма Джеймса (1842—1910), ведущего представителя прагматизма и функционализма, которого принято называть "отцом современной психологии", не была богата событиями, не считая того, что он дважды удостаивался чести возглавить Американскую психологическую ассоциацию, основал в Гарварде, где бессменно преподавал, первую в США лабораторию прикладной психологии, а на склоне лет увлекся спиритизмом. Но зато после смерти великого ученого начались приключения его теорий, которые то опровергали и низвергали, то вновь возносили на пьедестал, то благополучно забывали — чтобы вернуться к ним десятилетия спустя.

More people know who Khloe Kardashian is than who Rene Descartes was. Most can't find Delaware on a map, correctly spell the word occurrence, or name the largest ocean on the planet. But how important is it to fill our heads with facts? A few keystrokes can summon almost any information in seconds. Why should we bother learning facts at all? Best-selling author William Poundstone confronts that timely question in Head in the Cloud.
