　みなさんは先日のアカデミー賞の授賞式の模様、テレビで観ましたか?　ぼくとしては、去年観た映画の中で一番気に入っているジョージ・ミラー監督の『マッドマックス　怒りのデスロード』が衣装やプロダクション・デザイン、ヘア&メーキャップや編集や録音などの賞を次々と受賞し、今年観た映画の中でダントツにすごいと思ったアレハンドロ・ゴンサレス・イニャリトゥ監督の『レヴェナント　蘇りし者』が主演男優賞(レオナルド・ディカプリオ)と監督賞を受賞したので、個人的に嬉しかったです。 イニャリトゥ監督とは、彼が『バベル』のプロモーションで来日した時に会ってインタビューしました。彼もラジオのDJとしてキャリアをスタートさせたこともあり、話が盛り上がりました。自分は情熱的過ぎる性格で、時として物事に取り憑かれることがあるので困る、と言っていましたが、軽やかなウィットと自嘲的なユーモアのセンスでうまくバランスを取っている人だなと思いました。(本文より)ロバート・ハリス　運命のダイスを転がせ！ はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/robert.html

In Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit takes on the conversations between men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don't. The ultimate problem, she shows in her comic, scathing essay, is female self-doubt and the silencing of women. Rebecca Solnit is the author of fourteen books about civil society, popular power, uprisings, art, environment, place, pleasure, politics, hope, and memory, most recently The Faraway Nearby, a book on empathy and storytelling.

In questo audiolibro Brilli racconta la storia e la fenomenologia del viaggio in Italia dalle origini al sorgere del turismo organizzato, attingendo a una messe pressoché infinita di episodi e osservazioni: come nel concreto si svolgeva il viaggio in Italia, quali i luoghi visitati, quali le aspettative e le reazioni dei "turisti". Ne viene una narrazione di grande piacevolezza, intessuta di notizie curiose e anche divertenti, dove l'erudizione si scioglie in uno stile elegante e privo di pedanterie.

In 2010 Clive James was diagnosed with terminal leukemia. Deciding that "if you don't know the exact moment when the lights will go out, you might as well read until they do", James moved his library to his house in Cambridge, where he would "live, read, and perhaps even write". James is the award-winning author of dozens of works of literary criticism, poetry, and history, and this volume contains his reflections on what may well be his last reading list.

Filled with his usual obsessions - sex, booze, gambling - More features Bukowski's offbeat insights into politics and literature, his tortured, violent relationships with women, and his lurid escapades on the poetry reading circuit. Highlighting his versatility, the book ranges from thinly-veiled autobiography to purely fictional tales of dysfunctional suburbanites, disgraced politicians, and down-and-out sports promoters - climaxing with a long, hilarious adventure among French filmmakers.

Psmith and his friend Mike are sent by their fathers to work in the City. But work is the last thing on Psmith's mind; surely there are more interesting things to do with the day than spend it in a bank? Unfortunately the natives aren't conducive to his socialising within work hours, but all's fair in love and work as the monocled Old Etonian, with a little grudging help from Mike, begins to rope in allies in order to reform the bank manager and make him A Decent Member of Society.

Inspirado na obra Cartas a um jovem poeta, de Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926), Maurice Béjart estabelece, em Cartas a um jovem bailarino, um diálogo epistolar com um aspirante à dança e o orienta não apenas sobre a técnica, mas sobre a formação do espírito e da sensibilidade. Para ele, a arte nasce do encontro entre a experiência e a busca incessante por algo maior. Cada gesto, cada movimento, cada ideia tem raízes naquilo que o artista viveu, sentiu e compreendeu do mundo.

Escrito em 1987, foi concebido como um resumo da produção literária do país, tendo como público-alvo leitores estrangeiros. Tratava-se de um capítulo de uma obra coletiva a respeito do Brasil que seria publicada na Itália. Mas a obra coletiva não veio à luz e, passados dez anos, o crítico lançou o texto como publicação da Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas (USP). O audiolivro é composto de três partes: "Manifestações literárias", "A configuração do sistema literário" e "O sistema literário consolidado".

Autor do best-seller Dez lições para o mundo pós-pandemia explora as revoluções ― passadas e atuais ― que definem a era polarizada e instável em que vivemos. Fúria populista, fratura ideológica, impactos econômicos e tecnológicos, guerras e um sistema internacional repleto de riscos catastróficos ― as primeiras décadas do século XXI podem ser consideradas o período mais revolucionário da história moderna. Mas não é o primeiro. Os seres humanos já passaram por alguns realinhamentos ― e prosperaram.

La principal amenaza de la democracia no es la violencia ni la corrupción o la ineficiencia, sino la simplicidad.

Artur da Távola considerava-se um “homem poli” – alguém que tinha numerosos interesses. Amava o rádio e a televisão, a política, os esportes e a música. Foi comunicador, escritor e deputado constituinte, observador arguto de tudo, homem atento aos sentimentos e afetos. Na crônica, encontrou terreno fértil para tratar dos tantos temas que o fascinavam.

No hay un tiempo ajeno por completo al conflicto, en que la guerra no forme parte de la cultura: la arrastramos en nuestro pasado y su sombra se proyecta en el futuro como amenaza. Pero ¿qué es la guerra para quienes no la han vivido en carne propia? ¿Y de dónde sale el caudal de imágenes y relatos que nutren y configuran nuestro conocimiento del fenómeno? ¿Acaso son imparciales, no obedecen a ciertos códigos y propósitos?
