When Olivia Laing moved to New York City in her mid-thirties, she found herself inhabiting loneliness on a daily basis. Increasingly fascinated by the most shameful of experiences, she began to explore the lonely city by way of art. Moving from Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks to Andy Warhol’s Time Capsules, from Henry Darger’s hoarding to David Wojnarowicz’s AIDS activism, Laing conducts an electric, dazzling investigation into what it means to be alone, illuminating not only the causes of loneliness but also how it might be resisted and redeemed.

At twenty-four-years old, Josh Owens was a college dropout who had already been listening to Alex Jones for five years. Originally drawn in by Jones' entertaining personality and anti-establishment stance, Josh soon came to suspect that vaccines were dangerous, that fluoride in drinking water lowered IQ levels, and a wide range of other far-fetched conspiracies. When the opportunity arose to work for Jones, he jumped at it, packing up his life and moving halfway across the country to start his first job as an adult.

Un divorce forcément douloureux, une grande maison victorienne troquée contre un appartement en haut d'une colline dans le nord de Londres, deux filles à élever et des factures qui s'accumulent... Deborah Levy a cinquante ans quand elle décide de tout reconstruire, avec pour tout bagage, un vélo électrique et une plume d'écrivain. Cette histoire ne lui appartient pas à elle seule, c'est l'histoire de chaque femme confrontée à l'impasse d'une existence gouvernée par les normes et la violence sournoise de la société, en somme de toute femme en quête d'une vie à soi.

Longtemps, Murakami a couru. De cette passion, il a tiré un livre étonnant, entre éloge de l'effort, leçon de sagesse et mémoires inattendus. Car le maître ose une comparaison surprenante : si ténacité, capacité de concentration et talent sont les qualités requises d'un romancier, la course à pied permet de cultiver la patience et la persévérance.

You’ve heard the names. You’ve seen the paintings. Maybe you even thought they were just Ninja Turtles. But behind the marble and oil paint were four real men—Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello—who didn’t just create art. They rewired civilization. This isn’t a sleepy art history book. It’s a front-row seat to the most creative, competitive, and gloriously petty era in human history. Rivals, patrons, popes, politics, and power—it’s all here.

Wie in seinen Äußerungen über Goethe, so auch in seiner Beurteilung anderer Schriftsteller, verriet Börne seine Nazarenische Beschränktheit. 'Juden' und 'Christen' sind für mich ganz sinnverwandte Worte im Gegensatz zu 'Hellenen', mit welchem Namen ich ebenfalls kein bestimmtes Volk, sondern eine sowohl angeborene als angebildete Geistesrichtung und Anschauungsweise bezeichne.

Tracing their lives through their photographs, artworks, poems and letters, from the heady weeks of creativity, sex and collaboration of that Mediterranean summer through the tumultuous years that followed, it is the story of rebellious lives and the redemptive power of art.

Il revisionista è un formidabile ritratto, affollato di esseri umani, del nostro Paese dal dopoguerra a oggi. Ed è anche il racconto autobiografico dell'avventura umana e intellettuale di Pansa, alla ricerca di verità dimenticate o scomode.

Cinque bambini che reclamano attenzione. Un telefono che non smette di squillare. E in mezzo a tutto questo, la stesura di un romanzo. Nicholas Sparks è davvero esausto quando - con stupore - riceve un invito da parte di suo fratello Micah: un giro del mondo in tre settimane. Ma sarà il momento giusto per prendersi questa vacanza?

Peter Wolf grew up in the Bronx, a child of “fellow travelers” whose artistic inclinations influenced both his love of music and his initial desire to become a painter. Stories of his loving and sometimes eccentric parents complement scenes depicting a very young Bob Dylan as he arrived on the Greenwich Village folk scene. Reflections on Wolf’s studies in Boston—where he shared an apartment with David Lynch—are braided with accounts of first love, an untraditional literary education, and early musical influences such as Muddy Waters.

Carolyn Burke reveals Miller as a multifaceted woman: both model and photographer, muse and reporter, sexual adventurer and mother, and, in later years, gourmet cook - the last of the many dramatic transformations she underwent during her lifetime. A sleek blond bombshell, Miller was part of a glamorous circle in New York and Paris in the 1920s and 1930s as a leading Vogue model, close to Edward Steichen, Charlie Chaplin, Jean Cocteau, and Pablo Picasso. Then, during World War II, she became a war correspondent - one of the first women to do so.

To have been alive during the last 60 years is to have lived with the music of Paul Simon. The boy from Queens scored his first hit record in 1957, just months after Elvis Presley ignited the rock era. As the songwriting half of Simon & Garfunkel, his work helped define the youth movement of the '60s. On his own in the '70s, Simon made radio-dominating hits. He kicked off the '80s by reuniting with Garfunkel to perform for half a million New Yorkers in Central Park. Five years later Simon's album Graceland sold millions. And it doesn't stop there.
