Voltaire n’a pas été l’homme d’un système. Il a été le trouble-fête d’un siècle brillant et faux. Ce qu’il reste de lui n’est pas un modèle à imiter, mais une tension à reprendre : penser sans plaire, contredire sans cesse, et surtout ne jamais devenir ce que l’on dénonce.

Jonathan Franzen's Freedom was the runaway most-discussed novel of 2010, an ambitious and searching engagement with life in America in the twenty-first century. In The New York Times Book Review, Sam Tanenhaus proclaimed it "a masterpiece of American fiction" and lauded its illumination...

It was August 25, 2006, my first on-camera studio open for the CBS News broadcast 60 Minutes. Executive Producer Jeff Fager poked his head in the dressing room." Good luck, Brotha! You've come a long way to get here. You've earned it." …If only he knew. My mind flashed back to elementary...

Les morts sont des invisibles, ils ne sont pas des absents. Dehors, il fait 5 °C, le temps est gris et venteux. Dans un instant, le prêtre va célébrer la messe d'enterrement de maman. Une coccinelle se pose sur ma main. D'où vient-elle, en ce mois de janvier ? Quelques semaines plus tard, une deuxième coccinelle surgira, et d'autres encore... J'aimerais imaginer que c'est maman qui se manifeste, et, pourtant, le doute m'assaille. La prudence voudrait que je n'y croie pas, mais, au fil du temps, de nouveaux signes – un papillon, une biche, une bague... – m'entraînent dans un monde parallèle.

La condizione delle donne negli anni del femminismo, e quella degli ebrei e dello Stato di Israele; la bellezza e l’orrore di Roma, e la fragilità di una democrazia (la nostra) sempre sotto minaccia; alcuni scrittori da amare; alcuni film visti con l’occhio di scrittrice; le biografie di alcuni amici (Cesare Pavese, Felice Balbo); e poi, ancora, la nostra incertezza e la nostra necessità di scegliere; la memoria dell’infanzia, da decifrare, e la vita dei figli adulti, che suscita meraviglia e insicurezza. Questi trenta testi costituiscono il più multiforme e battagliero libro di Natalia Ginzburg.

In the tradition of classic collections of observations and musings such as Christopher Isherwood’s I Am a Camera and Truman Capote’s The Dogs Bark, Waiting on the Moon is a treasure trove of vignettes from a legendary musical figure whose career spans more than six decades and is still...

He didn’t just create superheroes. He created a blueprint for how modern culture thinks about power, pain, identity — and redemption. From Spider-Man’s guilt to the X-Men’s exile, from the pages of pulp comics to billion-dollar movie screens, Stan Lee rewired the mythologies of the modern world. But behind the catchphrases and cameos was a man caught between truth and persona, legacy and loneliness, spotlight and shadow. This book goes beyond the fan letter. It’s a deep-dive into the masks he wore — and the world he left behind.

After seeing a friend run the London Marathon, Sophie decided to give it a go. Collapsing two miles from the finish line, her first attempt was a disaster, but she picked herself up and kept going on a path that would take her to races all over the world across the Alps and even the Sahara Desert for the famous 150-mile Marathon des Sables. Sophie has now run all six World Marathon Majors, completed 15 marathons and three ultra-marathons, and run the entire length of the Thames Path, from source to sea.

Dessen Vaterkonflikt trat nie offener zutage als in seinem berühmten Brief an den Vater, der allerdings nie abgeschickt wurde. Noch heute ein unabdingbarer Bestandteil der Schullektüre!

What begins as a meditation on photography evolves into something much deeper—a journey through art, memory, and self-discovery. In My Sort of Philosophy, Christian Santiago invites listeners into his world of storytelling, where images, words, and life experiences blur into one evolving narrative. This audiobook isn’t a traditional “how-to” or a step-by-step manual. Instead, it unfolds naturally—like a photograph developing in the darkroom—capturing the beauty of imperfection, the uncertainty of time, and the ways art shapes the way we see ourselves and the world around us.

Finding Me: From Imposter to Icon is the raw, unfiltered story of how I went from pretending to be someone else to becoming a two-time Photographer of the Year. It’s about the setbacks that nearly broke me, the unexpected moments that shaped me, and the lessons I learned from capturing one of the fastest, most chaotic sports in the world. More than a memoir about paintball or photography, this is a journey of identity, resilience, and discovering what happens when you stop living for others and start living for yourself.

The short-lived Blitz club in London's Covent Garden was more than somewhere to hang out or be seen: it was a catalyst for cultural explosion, a counter-culture blast against everything Thatcher's leadership had ushered in by the dawn of the 80s. In Blitz, Elms reflects on a club night founded by working-class kids, one whose impact reverberated beyond its doors, through the worlds of Art, Literature, Fashion and Music, and into the present day.

Un lungo processo gli ha tolto anni preziosi, ma gli ha restituito la possibilità di guardarsi dentro e rinascere. Tra ricordi, passioni e viaggi che profumano di libertà, il suo cammino diventa un inno alla resilienza e alla ricerca di sé.

An A-Z of Jane Austen 's richly textured worlds have enchanted readers for centuries and this neatly organized, playful book provides Austen enthusiasts and students alike with a unique insight into the much-loved writer's way with words. Using a lively A-Z structure, Greaney provides fresh angles on familiar Austen themes (D is for dance ; M is for matchmaking ), casts light on under-examined corners of her imagination (R is for risk ; S is for servant ), and shows how current social and cultural concerns are re-shaping our understanding of her work ( Q is for queer; W is for West Indies).

Die Schauspielerin Angela Winkler führt mehr als ein Leben: für die Bühne, für den Film – und gleichermaßen für ihre Familie. In Mein blaues Zimmer erzählt sie von diesen Leben und nimmt uns mit hinter die Kulissen ihres geliebten Theaters. Sie erinnert sich an ihre Anfänge als Schauspielerin in Castrop-Rauxel und beim Neuen Deutschen Film, an die vielen fast verfallenen Häuser in Italien und Frankreich, die sie gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann umgebaut und zum Leben erweckt hat, und lässt uns an ihrer Liebe zur Natur teilhaben.

In 1939, when John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath was published, it became an instant bestseller and a prevailing narrative in the nation's collective imagination of the era. But it also stopped the publication of another important novel, silencing a gifted writer who was more intimately connected to the true experiences of Dust Bowl migrants. In Riding Like the Wind, renowned biographer Iris Jamahl Dunkle revives the groundbreaking voice of Sanora Babb.
