James Baldwin (1924–1987) was a pivotal figure of the twentieth century, an influential author, intellectual, and activist who led a celebrated public life—and whose words and image and persona remain current in our culture. Baldwin's many incarnations have reemerged in the digital age as Baldwin's work becomes a touchstone for a new generation. It is the private, vulnerable, and messier Baldwin—the man behind the prophet and the online meme—who is the focus of this book.

When Graydon Carter was offered the editorship of Vanity Fair in 1992, he knew he faced an uphill battle—how to make the esteemed and long-established magazine his own. Not only was he confronted with a staff that he perceived to be loyal to the previous regime, but he arrived only a few years after launching Spy magazine, which gloried in skewering the celebrated and powerful—the very people Vanity Fair venerated.

From grinding as an unpaid intern, to becoming a glitzy (but overworked) fashion editor, Christian Allaire writes with feeling about the struggle to find his place—and community—in the highly exclusive world of fashion. And he recounts, with great candour, the difficulty of balancing his ambitions with the often-inaccurate perceptions—including his own—of his culture’s place in the realm of fashion. Full of joy, honesty, adversity, and great clothes, From the Rez to the Runway is a gripping memoir about how to achieve your dreams—and elevate others—while always remaining true to yourself.

Sir Nigel Thompson walked to school around the bomb craters of the London Blitz—it made him want to build things, rather than knock them down. After studying structural engineering in Africa, he worked on hospitals and theaters in London, and later headed the team that designed University of Qatar. He went on to design Embankment Place, a massive office complex built over London’s Charing Cross railway station. Turning from building to rebuilding, he explored construction opportunities for British firms during the Gulf War, in Kuwait’s still-burning oil fields.

The Possibility of Tenderness is a personal history narrated through the lens of the ‘grung’ and plants. It’s also a people’s history of the land, a family saga, an archival detective story through time. It’s the migration tale of a young scholar who arrives in Britain from rural Jamaica to study at Oxford to achieve ‘upward social mobility’ and who now lives in Roundhay Leeds. Suddenly, amidst his journey of dreams and class aspiration, the plants and people of his native district, Coffee Grove, begin to offer different ways of living, alternative dreams, and the possibility of tenderness.

Sono stati scritti libri su libri sulla giovinezza, ma non c’è granché sull’invecchiamento. E visto che ho imboccato ormai da un po’ quella strada, mi sono detta: "Perché non provarci?". E quindi ecco, ci provo.” Dopo aver trascorso anni tra libri e scrittori come celebre editor, si è scoperta lei stessa autrice e a novantun anni, quando ha deciso di raccontare, senza falsi pudori, senza veli o paure, ma soprattutto senza rimpianti per le scelte del passato non tanto cosa c’è stato prima, quanto quello che le sarebbe successo da quel momento in poi: la vecchiaia.

" Alors que j’achevais la rédaction de ce livre, la cérémonie d’ouverture des Jeux olympiques est venue raviver le feu de ma plume : la France est la victime d’un mémoricide. Une ablation de sa mémoire. Une spoliation, une péremption de ses souvenirs. L’Esprit français a été immolé. Toute ma vie, je me suis battu. Contre un progressisme en quête incessante des figures nouvelles de l’insolite et du fantasque.

El relato complementario de una época apasionante. Diecisiete periodistas, una mesa, un invitado de excepción y una consigna: estrictamente confidencial. En 1979, un grupo de jóvenes reporteros con ganas de informarse sobre los resortes de la naciente democracia impulsó una serie de encuentros off the record con sus protagonistas. El primer invitado fue Felipe Gónzalez y, a partir de ahí, cada jueves durante cuarenta años, desfilaron por estas sesiones clandestinas en hoteles y restaurantes las personalidades que forjaron la Transición.

In 1988, a band of University of Wisconsin–Madison undergrads and dropouts began publishing a free weekly newspaper with no editorial stance other than “You Are Dumb.” Just wanting to make a few bucks, they wound up becoming the bedrock of modern satire over the course of twenty years, changing the way we consume both our comedy and our news. The Onion served as a hilarious and brutally perceptive satire of the absurdity and horrors of late twentieth-century American life and grew into a global phenomenon.

Die Autobiographischen Schriften sind der Schlüssel zum Werk von Thomas Bernhard. Sie kehren sein Innerstes nach außen. Keine Texte, die intimer, berührender sind als die fünf zwischen 1975 und 1982 geschriebenen Erzählungen, in denen der Autor seine traumatischen Kindheits- und Jugenderinnerungen beschreibt. Fünf aufwühlende Geschichten, gelesen von fünf der besten deutschsprachigen Schauspieler. Die Ursache. Eine Andeutung, gelesen von Ulrich Matthes. 1943: Dreizehnjährig wird Thomas Bernhard in ein Internat nach Salzburg geschickt.

Prima carte a lui George Orwell, Fara un sfant prin Paris si prin Londra este o relatare emotionanta si foarte detaliata a celor citiva ani de saracie autoimpusa prin care a trecut scriitorul dupa ce s-a intors din Birmania. Aflat in cautarea propriei voci narative, Orwell repudiaza societatea "respectabila" si exploreaza viata defavorizatilor sortii, traind in camarute mizere si spalind vase in bucataria incinsa ca un cuptor a vreunui hotel parizian sau invirtindu-se printre cersetorii excentrici ai Londrei, al caror limbaj pestrit il inregistreaza fidel.
