Primer volumen de la nueva colección "Ensayista Liberal". Enrique Krauze es una figura fundamental en los círculos intelectuales mexicanos, como colaborador de Octavio Paz en la mítica revista Vuelta, y director editorial de Letras Libres.

Il sangue matto è la paura di impazzire, di sragionare all’improvviso in casa, al lavoro, per strada, nel bel mezzo di certe giornate nere che si fatica persino a raccontare a se stesse. È il corpo che si macchia di rosso, è la difficoltà a vivere normalmente almeno sette giorni al mese. È il lutto, il fallimento e il disgusto per non riuscire ad essere madri come la natura femminile vorrebbe. Eppure le donne non si arrendono, e provano a raccontarlo e a raccontarsi, cercano con ostinazione il mesSaggio nascosto dentro la sofferenza.

In this pyrotechnic memoir-in-essays, Mak ranges widely over our landscape of paranoia, crisis, and frenetic, clickable consumption. He grants listeners an inside pass to the spaces where culture was made and unmade over the past decade, from the antiseptic glare of white-walled galleries to the darkest corners of Berlin techno clubs. As the gay son of an evangelical minister, Mak fled to those spaces, hoping to join a global, influential elite. But when calamity struck, it forced Mak to confront the costs of mistaking status for belonging.

Anne Lamott writes about faith, family, and community in essays that are both wise and irreverent. It's an approach that has become her trademark. Now in Small Victories, Lamott offers a new message of hope that celebrates the triumph of light over the darkness in our lives. Our victories over hardship and pain may seem small, she writes, but they change us--our perceptions, our perspectives, and our lives.

In Bite by Bite, poet and essayist Aimee Nezhukumatathil explores the way food and drink evoke our associations and remembrances—a subtext or layering, a flavor tinged with joy, shame, exuberance, grief, desire, or nostalgia. Nezhukmatathil restores our astonishment and wonder about food through her encounters with a range of foods and food traditions. From shave ice to lumpia, mangoes to pecans, rambutan to vanilla, she investigates how food marks our experiences and identities and explores the boundaries between heritage and memory.

Zwei Werke von Henry David Thoreau: Im Jahr 1849 schrieb er seinen weltberühmten Essay über die Pflicht zum Ungehorsam gegen den Staat. In diesem stellte er sich außerhalb einer Gesellschaft, die, obwohl auf den Prinzipien der Freiheit und Gleichheit aller gegründet, nicht in der Lage war, die Sklaverei abzuschaffen. Ungekürzte Lesung (Tracks 1 - 14). Fünf Jahre später folgte Walden oder Das Leben in den Wäldern - seit langem DAS Buch für Aussteiger, Frugalisten, Konsumverweigerer - oder auch ganz einfach nur Naturliebhaber.

Walter Benjamin (1892 - 1940), war vieles: Philosoph, Kulturkritiker, Übersetzer - aber auch ein Schriftsteller. Auf der Flucht vor den Nazis, die Frankreich besetzt hatten, nahm er sich an der spanischen Grenze das Leben. Sein Essay Goethes Wahlverwandtschaften beweist außerordentlich eindrucksvoll, dass eine an sich wissenschaftliche Analyse großer Literatur selbst große Literatur sein kann!

What happens to the adolescent spirit when all vestiges of innocence about the world are foregone, replaced within the grinding sounds of concrete and metal of the CBD of Melbourne? A place where train tunnels become nesting sites, carpark stairwells spots to refuel on methamphetamine and hide from predators; where agility leads you across nightclub rooftops, yielding cash in tight spaces with a quick reflex. For a rest, why not ride on the back of a train as it speeds through the night? The dangers of a decades-long exploration of risk in the streets of his city is exhilarating.
