Paesaggi, umori, incontri, riflessioni, racconti di un viaggiatore sterniano che scende con pietas e con humour lungo il vecchio fiume, dalle sorgenti al Mar Nero, ripercorrendo insieme la propria vita e le stagioni della cultura contemporanea, le sue fedi e le sue inquietudini. Un itinerario fra romanzo e saggio che racconta la cultura come esperienza esistenziale e ricostruisce a mosaico, attraverso i luoghi visitati e interrogati, le civiltà dell'Europa centrale - in tutta la complessa varietà dei suoi popoli e delle sue culture.

De Buenos Aires à Caracas, François-Henri Désérable nous embarque dans une formidable traversée de l’Amérique du Sud. Cinq mois à moto, en stop, en bateau, avec une seule contrainte : emprunter l’itinéraire qui fut celui d’Alberto Granado et d’Ernesto « Che » Guevara, lors du fameux voyage à motocyclette, soixante-cinq ans plus tôt.
L'auteur interprète lui-même ce récit de voyage et nous en restitue toute sa saveur.

Edited and annotated by H. L. M., this is a selection from his out-of-print writings. They come mostly from books - the six installments of the Prejudices series, A Book of Burlesques, In Defense of Women, Notes on Democracy, Making a President, A Book of Calumny, Treatise on Right and Wrong - but there are also magazine and newspaper pieces that never got between covers (from the American Mercury, the Smart Set, and the Baltimore Evening Sun) and some notes that were never previously published at all.

In his highly anticipated debut essay collection, Impossible Owls, Brian Phillips demonstrates why he's one of the most iconoclastic journalists of the digital age, beloved for his ambitious, off-kilter, meticulously reported essays. The eight essays assembled here go beyond simply chronicling some of the modern world's most uncanny, unbelievable, and spectacular oddities. Researched for months and even years on end, they explore the interconnectedness of the globalized world, the consequences of history, the power of myth, and the ways people attempt to find meaning.

Story0
In A Room of One’s Own, Virginia Woolf’s classic six-part essay, the iconic Modernist writer takes on the misogyny of writing, publishing, and creativity in her time. Through the imagined sister of William Shakespeare, who in her argument possesses the same talent and intellect as the famous playwright, Woolf lays out the fundamental truth that one requires room to express creativity and time to explore and see it through. Genius unexpressed is genius nonetheless, and had Shakespeare’s sister the means to make her own art, she would have had the same lasting legacy as her brother.
