「ねじねじと悩みながらも、前を向くのだ」 SEKAI NO OWARIのメンバーであり作家の藤崎彩織が、本音で丁寧につづるエッセイ集。

I Strongly Believe in Incredible Things is a book of poetic prose, musings, short stories and biro drawings detailing a selection of the Earth’s incredible things by award-winning writer, comedian, artist and podcaster Rob Auton. Unique, enchanting and utterly life-affirming, this is a collection that comes together to create the opposite of the news, becoming the tonic for the complicated gin that is the world we find ourselves in today.

The story of how two small children had to trek all alone across Manchuria in 1946.70 years

Jenny Diski was a fearless writer, for whom no subject was too difficult, even her own cancer diagnosis. Her columns in the London Review of Books - selected here by her editor and friend Mary-Kay Wilmers, on subjects as various as death, motherhood, sexual politics and the joys of solitude - have been described as ‘virtuoso performances’ and ‘small masterpieces'. Why Didn’t You Just Do What You Were Told? is a collective interrogation of the universal experience from a very particular psyche.

A vivid eulogy for London of the late 1970s and early '80s - the last years prior to the rise of the digital city. An elliptical, wildly atmospheric remembrance of the sites and soundtrack, at once aggressively modern and strangely elegiac, that accompanied the twilight of one era and the dawn of another.

Napoli è la città meno equilibrata del mondo. È una metropoli complessa, piena di sfaccettature, è più città in una: un miscuglio di colori e di stati d'animo, di stili architettonici e classi sociali, di sapori dolci e salati, pastiera e pizza, sfogliatella e ragù, di musica antica e neomelodica, di fede e scaramanzia. Come fare allora a catturare le sue mille anime? Acuto osservatore dei piccoli e grandi fatti di cronaca della sua città, Lorenzo Marone sceglie di raccontare Napoli a modo suo, lasciandosi sorprendere da ciò che gli accade intorno.

Fictional? Authoritative? Fantastic? Deadpan? Investigations into the real, the true...and the things that should be true....

Marco Balzano ispirandosi nel titolo al film di Nanni Moretti Palombella Rossa, si interroga sul perché l'etimologia sia una scienza che non riceve la considerazione che merita nonostante eserciti, in chi ci si avvicina, un forte fascino. Attraverso quelli che a tutti gli effetti potremmo definire dieci scavi etimologici, ci dice che ogni parola ha un corpo da rispettare che non può essere stravolto a nostro piacimento. Perché ogni parola ha una sua identità e una sua vita autonoma.

Leicht und doch mit chaplineskem Ernst erzählt Karasek, wie Männer versuchen, zu lieben und zu flüchten, zu erobern und zu vergessen. Der "publizistische Turbokarpfen im Teich der grauen Hechte" (Gerhard Stadelmaier) berichtet von glücklichen und schmerzlichen Selbstversuchen und von Ausflügen in das unbekannte Land der Frauen. Die Beziehung zwischen Männern und Frauen - ein Wechselbad zwischen Liebe und Verlieren, Leidenschaft und Erkalten.

In more than fifty pieces, Atwood aims her prodigious intellect and impish humor at the world, and reports back to us on what she finds. This roller-coaster period brought the end of history, a financial crash, the rise of Trump, and a pandemic. From when to dispense advice to the young (answer: only when asked) to Atwood’s views on the climate crisis, we have no better guide to the many and varied mysteries of our universe.

Georg-Büchner-Preisträger Wilhelm Genazino ist für seinen einzigartigen Blick fürs Detail bekannt. Die Protagonisten seiner Romane verwandeln kleinste Beobachtungen während ihres Alltags regelmäßig in Reflexionen über das Leben selbst. In dieser Essay-Sammlung bleibt Genazino seinem Stil treu und lässt den Hörer teilhaben an Anekdoten, Gedanken und Perspektivwechseln. "Der gedehnte Blick" bietet ungewöhnliche Sichtweisen auf das Handwerk des Schreibens, Humor, Philosophie, und vieles mehr.

So often deployed as a jingoistic, even menacing rallying cry, or limited by a focus on passing moments of liberation, the rhetoric of freedom both rouses and repels. Does it remain key to our autonomy, justice, and well-being, or is freedom's long star turn coming to a close? Does a continued obsession with the term enliven and emancipate, or reflect a deepening nihilism (or both)? On Freedom examines such questions by tracing the concept's complexities in four distinct realms: art, sex, drugs, and climate.

幻想性の色濃い作風で知られる昭和初期の作家、夢野久作のエッセイ。初出は「猟奇」［1931（昭和6）年］。「猟奇」の責任編集者であるモセイ＝河東茂生との出会いを綴る。

Maeterlinck, premio Nobel della letteratura nel 1911, poeta e drammaturgo, scrive questo racconto nel 1901. Si fa prima a dire cosa non è l'audiolibro: non è un audiolibro di scienze naturali (come dice l'autore stesso ce ne sono di più completi), non è un audiolibro di filosofia (anche se la visione filosofica e spirituale dell'osservatore permea tutte le sue osservazioni), non è un audiolibro di narrativa (anche se lo scrittore narra come un romanzo, col suo linguaggio ricco e suggestivo, un anno solare della vita di questa affascinante comunità.

For decades, Asaram Bapu presided over a politically influential empire built on blind faith. Along with his son and heir, Narayan Sai, he has now become an example of everything that is wrong with self-styled godmen and the cults they spawn. God of Sin pieces together Asaram's journey to spiritual godhood, his fall from grace, and the long and arduous road to bring him to justice.

Der wohl berühmteste und berüchtigtste Text von Thomas de Quincey beginnt mit einer historischen Analyse des Mordes in wissenschaftlichem Gewand, welche gleichermaßen als Parodie der herrschenden Bildungs- wie Religionsstrukturen verstanden werden darf. Im Verlauf der "fiktionalen Vorlesung" ändert das Werk plötzlich seine Richtung und offenbart in Form einer veränderten Stilistik die unterschiedlichen Interpretationsmöglichkeiten von redaktionell aufgearbeiteten Tatsachen, deren Inhalte nur zu leicht an entsprechendes Publikum ausgerichtet und angepasst werden können.
