Pocas palabras, pero siempre vigentes las que escribió el militar chino Sun Tzu en el siglo V a.C., quien no vio cómo su compendio de estrategias bélicas se convirtió en inspiración para grandes líderes de la humanidad, pero también para los ciudadanos de a pie que han buscado inspiración para atravesar esto que llamamos vida. Este libro contiene una explicación detallada y un análisis del ejército chino, desde las armas y la estrategia hasta el rango y la disciplina.

Prize-winning biographer William Dubin learns from lives, or thinks he does - those he writes, those he shares, the life he lives. Now in his later middle age, he seeks his own secret self, and the obsession of biography is supplanted by the obsession of love - love for a woman half is age, who has sought an understanding of her life through his books. Dubin's Lives is a rich, subtle book, as well as a moving tale of love and marriage.

Miles Franklin began the candid, passionate, and contrary My Brilliant Career when she was only 16, intending for it to be the Australian answer to Jane Eyre. This thinly veiled autobiographical tale of a young girl hungering for life and love in the outback was so beyond its years when first released in 1901 that Franklin insisted it not be published again until 10 years after her death. My Brilliant Career is a coming of age story for all of the ages.

Four-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening ( American Beauty, The Kids Are All Right) brings Woolf’s stream-of-consciousness style of storytelling to life, exploring the hidden springs of thought and action in one day of a woman’s life in a brilliant performance.

Als Josef K. eines Morgens aufwacht wird er überraschend verhaftet. Von einer mysteriösen Behörde soll ihm der Prozess gemacht werden. Im Laufe der Kapitel gerät K. in ein alptraumhaftes Labyrinth einer surrealen Bürokratie. K. dringt immer tiefer in dieses System ein, er erfährt Verschiedenes über die Hierarchien der "Gerichte", doch nie gelangt er zur höchsten Instanz, nie erfährt er, worin seine "Schuld" besteht. Gleichzeitig dringt das System immer weiter in K.s Leben ein. Schließlich muss er erkennen, dass der "Sinn dieser großen Organisation, dieser korrupten Bande", der Sinn dieses geheimnisvollen Prozesses die "Sinnlosigkeit" ist...

Da quel giorno saranno la solitudine, il duro lavoro e la natura aspra e selvaggia della Sardegna a insegnare a Gavino la vita. Non riusciranno però a piegare la sua volontà di ragazzo intelligente e sensibile, che aspetta il momento per ribellarsi al padre, per conquistare l'indipendenza e liberarsi finalmente dal "padrone".

Lorsque George Mallory disparaît en 1924 lors de son ascension de l'Everest avec l'alpiniste Andrew Irvine, personne ne sait s'ils ont atteint le plus haut sommet du monde. C'est la plus grande énigme de l'histoire de l'alpinisme et le point de départ de Baku Yumemakura pour Le Sommet des dieux.

Friuli, 6 maggio 1976. È un giorno qualunque, di quelli che sembrano destinati a scivolare via senza lasciare traccia. Poi la terra comincia a tremare. E in un minuto, il Friuli cambia per sempre. Case che resistevano da secoli si sgretolano come polvere, famiglie intere scompaiono sotto le macerie, paesi interi vengono cancellati dalla geografia. Tra le macerie di Gemona e i paesi dell'alto Friuli, le storie di padri che scavano a mani nude, di madri che vegliano nel buio e di uomini arrivati da lontano per dare soccorso si intrecciano in un unico, potente grido di resistenza.
