Alejandro Jodorowsky, cineasta, tarólogo, psicomago, novelista, invitando a una mutación en lo más profundo del ser, explora los meandros del alma humana con "humildad de perro", sin dictar pretenciosas sentencias de filólosofo o de maestro místico. "La facultad de pensar es el más cruel regalo que los dioses nos han dado". Poemas que mezclan a la vez la realidad de un mundo cruel y maravilloso, entre sagrado y profano. Palabra tras palabra, como se deshojan uno a uno los pétalos de una flor, Jodorowsky busca un camino entre las espinas.

Imagine the poets Wallace Stevens and Anne Sexton met in a bar owned by Michael Robbins. The result might be News In A New World, the first published collection of poems by Tamara Tifareth. Jarringly profound, hilarious, and offensive, highly topical, always insightful, the poems combine a strong lyrical quality with a narrator's capacity for storytelling. In many of the pieces, Ms. Tifareth assumes a persona only to push its attitudes to the limits of sensibility, illustrating the absurdity of life.

A beautiful collection of love letters from some of the world's most famous personalities.

Der Dichter France Prešeren (1800–1849), im Ausdruck Klassizist und Romantiker im Geist, steht unbestritten an der Spitze der slowenischen Literatur. Als Visionär, getrieben von Hoffnung und Verzweiflung, schrieb er die meisten seiner Gedichte in den 1830er Jahren und hob die slowenische Poesie auf Weltniveau. Im Zentrum seiner Poesie stehen die Liebe, existenzielle Not, Nationalgefühl und poetisches Schaffen, doch auch seine satirische Seite ist nicht zu vernachlässigen. Die kosmopolitische siebte Strophe seiner Zdravljica ist heute die slowenische Hymne und könnte durchaus auch die Hymne der Vereinten Nationen sein.

Betjeman's England is a place of patriotic poets and seaside coves, provincial cathedrals and eccentric dons. For 50 years, Betjeman celebrated the glories of Englishness and what it meant to be English. Against a tide of rapid change, he unearthed forgotten heroes, bygone haunts, and old-fashioned modes of thought. But as this original collection reveals, his appeal goes far beyond simple nostalgia. It lies in his passionate convictions, his humour and his humanity.
