Was bedeutet es, wenn die Eltern alt werden? Bestsellerautor Volker Kitz erzählt in seinem literarischen Essay die Geschichte seines Vaters und erkundet an ihr exemplarisch, wie sich familiäre Verantwortung verschiebt, wenn Eltern alt werden. Sein Buch berührt die Gefühle und Fragen einer ganzen Generation. "Bleibt bei mir", bittet der Vater seine zwei Söhne, als die Erinnerung ihn verlässt. Bis dahin war Erinnerung für Volker Kitz kein Thema. Sie funktionierte, der Vater funktionierte, die Familie funktionierte. Doch eines Tages verunglückt die Mutter, und das Schicksal nimmt seinen Lauf.

Sigmund Freud (Freiberg 1856 - Londra 1939) medico austriaco, fondatore della psicoanalisi, cominciò ad occuparsi di psicopatologia con gli Studi sull'isteria, scritti in collaborazione con Breuer (1892 - 1895). Nel 1900 pubblica L'interpretazione dei sogni, in cui confluiscono i dati della propria autoanalisi. Gli scritti dei decenni successivi definiscono il movimento psicoanalitico nei suoi aspetti teorici, sociali e antropologici.

No obstante, sus ensayos pertenecen a un mismo diálogo, el de Borges con la historia literaria, el del lector con el escritor.

Obligatorischer Absatz: Karl Kraus gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Aphoristiker deutscher Sprache. Ob berühmte Schriftsteller oder die Presse - nichts und niemand wurde von der Kritik seiner Feder verschont. Bekannte Künstler wie Stefan Zweig, Georg Trakl, Thomas Mann und andere zollten ihm Respekt, aber die Zahl seiner Feinde in Kunst und Gesellschaft war enorm. Als Vorleser hinterließ er aufgrund seiner Sprachgewalt und Persönlichkeit angeblich einen äußerst außergewöhnlichen Eindruck.

La conmovedora historia de un vigilante de museo que encuentra consuelo y significado en su día a día entre los pasillos del Museo Metropolitano de Arte. Una obra imprescindible para los amantes del arte.

Yet,s Mr. Whitlatch—a golfer of reputation—goes so far as to set down as an axiom "The. more brains, the more strokes," and to work out from this rather startling premise a system that enables him to play the Oakland course with a gross score of 72. For the benefit of the readers of "Dress & Vanity Fair," we have asked Mr. Whitlatch to prepare a series of articles developing his theory to its logical and practical conclusion.

Story
For over six decades, Gay Talese has told New York stories. They are the stories of daring bridge builders, disappearing gangsters, intrepid Vogue editors, unassuming doormen who’ve seen too much. They are set in the star-studded salons of George Plimpton’s apartment, in the tense newsroom of a still burgeoning New York Times, in an electric studio session with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga recording their debut. With the wit, elegance, and depth of insight that has long characterized his work, Talese’s New York reporting showcases a master of the form at his finest.

Story
Virginia Woolf nos revela en esta obra, básicamente, la evolución de su pensamiento feminista en relación con la literatura. El libro empieza planteándonos una pregunta: ¿Qué necesitan las mujeres para escribir buenas novelas? La respuesta la irá plasmando y argumentando a través de la exposición de situaciones diferentes, en ocasiones inventadas o supuestas, donde predominarán las mujeres. La conclusión final es que para que las mujeres escriban buenas novelas necesitan independencia económica y personal, es decir, una habitación propia.

Las indómitas rinde tributo al rostro anónimo de las mujeres que lucharon en la Revolución, a la inconfundible Jesusa Palancares y al silencio de las mujeres del servicio. Madres, activistas, revolucionarias, artistas y trabajadoras incansables; desde sus trincheras, han luchado por trastocar el orden patriarcal, pero también han sido el motor que le ha dado un nuevo giro a la historia y cuyo brillante ejemplo es el faro que nos guía hacia al futuro.

Written with equal parts candor and lyricism, Pam Houston illuminates the interconnected histories of abortion in the United States and in her own life during the decades when Roe v. Wade was the law of the land. Houston guides us through the shifting landscapes of politics, the law, and self-determination in a country where access to medical care and the power to determine your own destiny are increasingly—and once again—dependent on geography and circumstance.

Story
Una celebración de la vida a través de sabores y recuerdos Experiencias cotidianas que se trasforman en historias memorables; rutinas familiares que, con el tiempo, se convierten en recuerdos atesorados; viajes que marcan el curso de una vida. Benito Taibo explora la profunda conexión que existe entre su historia personal y la comida: desde los miedos de su infancia, las celebraciones en la mesa con los amigos, los libros y las películas que lo han acompañado, hasta los sabores que evocan en él a las personas que ha amado y ya no lo acompañan.
