As he was composing what was to become his most enduring and popular book, E. B. White was obeying that oft-repeated maxim: "Write what you know." Helpless pigs, silly geese, clever spiders, greedy rats - White knew all of these characters in the barns and stables where he spent his favorite hours. In The Story of Charlotte's Web, Michael Sims shows how White solved what critic Clifton Fadiman once called "the standing problem of the juvenile-fantasy writer: how to find, not another Alice, but another rabbit hole."

William Butler Yeats, the first Irishman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, is not only one of the greatest poets of the 20th century but one of the most widely read. The landscape, myths, legends, and folklore of his homeland lie at the heart of his poetic imagination, and the unique musicality of Ireland adds to the richness of his verse. But the themes of his poetry are universal and timeless: the conflict between life and death, love and hate, and the meaning of man’s existence in an imperfect world.

Unsere Welt ist auf vielfache Weise bedroht. Warum finden Milliarden Menschen nicht zueinander, um diese Gefahren abzuwenden? Meine Antwort ist: Weil Erziehung und "Sozialisation" in den meisten von uns Minderwertigkeitsgefühle, Missgunst, Geltungsstreben, unterdrückte Wut erzeugt haben, die uns voneinander trennen. Unsere angeborene Fähigkeit zu lieben ist jedoch unzerstörbar. Wir können wieder in Kontakt zu ihr kommen - was mir meine psychotherapeutische Arbeit täglich beweist. Der Weg dahin führt tief hinein in die eigene Lebensgeschichte.

Ennio Miraglia è un eroe dai sogni spezzati. Ha amato la musica fino a quando le canzoni dei Beatles non hanno fatto naufragare la sua carriera di sassofonista. Ha cercato il riscatto in televisione, ha fatto il venditore, il padre e il ribelle, ha creduto nel comunismo finché non è crollato con le sue speranze. Ora è un latitante in fuga dai suoi errori e dai suoi doveri, frequenta night club e sezioni di partito con le stesse cattive compagnie, cercando le ombre del miracolo italiano in cui aveva investito tutto se stesso.

Este poemario es un mapa de «latidos». Pequeños instantes fraguados durante las madrugadas insomnes entre 2009 y 2010.

Pero el amor es siempre posible. Primer volumen de una obra mayor, la selección de Latidos sumerge al oyentes en un pulso poético repleto de climas. Hondo, sensible y lleno de la lírica ternura propia del autor.
