Una nueva, revolucionaria y muy documentada aportación a los estudios sobre Marcel Proust. Aunque hoy casi nadie lo recuerde, Marcel Proust escribió En busca del tiempo perdido, gracias a una extraordinaria capacidad de percepción que le permitió ver lo que nadie pudo. Sus contemporáneos lo consideraron un "médium despierto" y hablaron de él en términos que hoy lo vinculan a los fenómenos psíquicos. Este hecho —demostrado en las páginas de este estudio— fue silenciado por la crítica literaria... hasta ahora.

DOYLE'S WORLD is no ordinary biography about one of the world's most influential writers. It is instead a work that deciphers in particular the cryptic origins and actual scientific methods used by fiction's most famous consulting detective Sherlock Holmes—and a work that provides a detailed look into the psyche and working life of Holmes’ creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The book follows Doyle’s entire illustrious literary career, with emphasis on the Sherlock Holmes mysteries as they evolved from the late 1880s to the early 1900s.

A canceled bestselling author’s highly personal account of his public scandal—a scandal that was reported on the front page of the New York Times and throughout the world.

В этой книге современным, ярким, зачастую ироничным языком рассказывается как о судьбе Пушкина до сентября 1826 года, так и об удивительном времени — золотом веке русской культуры, — времени Александровской оттепели, когда формировался русский язык и русское сознание. Это время великолепных салонов и стремительно развивающегося театра, динамично меняющейся моды и поразительной практики русского застолья, восхитительных красавиц и импозантных бретёров, скандальных разводов и красивых проявлений благородства…. Мы погружаемся в дела давно минувших дней и забываем о том, что происходит вокруг нас.

Cea mai cunoscută carte a Oliviei Laing, Orașul solitar este un text radiant despre singurătate, mecanismele care o provoacă și despre cum ne putem doza resursele interioare pentru a-i face față. Apelând la biografiile și creațiile unor artiști precum Edward Hopper, Andy Warhol, Henry Darger sau David Wojnarowicz, Laing documentează o călătorie filozofică în care singurătatea devine insula fiecăruia dintre noi, iar povestirea ne poartă, pagină cu pagină, mai aproape de centru.

"Ein Glücksfall ausgereifter Erzählkunst" (Rüdiger Görner). In der letzten Erzählung Stefan Zweigs – sie erschien nur wenige Monate vor seinem Freitod im Exil in Brasilien – treffen bei einem Schachspiel auf einem Passagierdampfer die Kontrahenten auch völlig unterschiedlicher Kulturen aufeinander. Der Großmeister Czentovic, machtbewußt, mit schlichtem Gemüt und nur an Bereicherung interessiert, steht dem rätselhaften Dr. B. gegenüber, der als ehemaliger Vermögensverwalter des österreichischen Adels und Klerus, in Gefangenschaft der Nationalsozialisten geriet.

Heines philosophisches Denken, das Denken eines wahrhaft "freien Geistes" und seine respektlos poetische Religiosität sollen, in enger Zusammenschau mit dem Bild seiner Persönlichkeit, in diesem Hörbuch besonders herausgestellt werden. "Nach mehrmaligem Durchstudieren des Kantschen Hauptwerkes glaube ich zu erkennen, daß die Polemik gegen jene bestehenden Beweise für das Dasein Gottes überall hervorlauscht, und ich würde sie weitläufiger besprechen, wenn mich nicht ein religiöses Gefühl davon abhielte.

"Hätte Hegel seine ganze Logik geschrieben und im Vorwort gesagt, daß sie nur ein gedankliches Experiment sei, in welchem er sich obendrein an vielen Stellen vor etwas gedrückt hat, dann wäre er wohl der größte Denker gewesen, der jemals gelebt hat. Nun ist er nur komisch." Die Abneigung Kierkegaards gegen das Hegelsche System oder gegen Systematiker überhaupt stellt ihn in eine Linie mit verwandten Denkern "freien Geistes" - von den Gnostikern bis zu Nietzsche.
