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.

'Think of the Bible and Homer, think of Shakespeare and think of me,' wrote Gertrude Stein in 1936. Admirers called her a genius, sceptics a charlatan: she remains one of the most confounding—and contested—writers of the twentieth century. In this literary detective story, Francesca Wade delves into the creation of the Stein myth.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. Copilăroasă și matură, egoistă și iubitoare, anxioasă și uneori foarte relaxată, cerebrală, irațională, pasionată de literatură și de petreceri cu băutură și droguri – iată un sumar portret al lui Dolly, personajul principal al cărții. O sumă de contradicții. Dar există totuși ceva constant, un fir roșu care străbate, din copilărie până la maturitate, povestea zbuciumată, pe alocuri picantă, tristă sau extrem de amuzantă: prietenia. Fiindcă dacă iubiții vin și pleacă, prietenele din copilărie și din adolescență rămân ancorele ei sufletești pentru totdeauna.

ഇരുപത്തിയൊന്നാം വയസിൽ മരണം കണ്മുന്നിൽ നിൽക്കുന്നു എന്ന് കേട്ടപ്പോൾ സ്റ്റീഫൻ ഹോക്കിങ് ഒന്ന് ഞെട്ടിയെങ്കിലും മരിക്കുന്നതിനുമുൻപ് ഭൗതികശാസ്ത്ര രംഗത്ത് തന്റേതായൊരിടം കണ്ടെത്തണമെന്ന് അദ്ദേഹം തീരുമാനിച്ചു. രോഗം ശരീരത്തെ കീഴ്പ്പെടുത്തിയെങ്കിലും മരണം ആ സാഹസബുദ്ധിയെ ഭയന്ന് വഴി മാറി.

Why do people keep deep secrets about their lives and ancestry? In Family Declassified, Katherine Fennelly applies her expertise as a social science researcher to answer this question regarding her maternal grandfather, a Jewish Hungarian immigrant who arrived in the US one hundred years ago.

When she was seventeen years old, Hannah Kent travelled to Iceland from Australia. She’d never seen snow before, didn’t speak a word of Icelandic. All she knew was that she wanted to have an experience – to soak up something of the world. Soon she found herself isolated in a remote part of Iceland in a dark winter. It was a gruelling experience, but she quickly fell in love with the country: with its brutally beautiful landscapes and with its people. On returning home, Hannah had found a story, and so she began to write.

Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65-8 BCE) wrote some of ancient Rome's greatest poetry, melding languages and cultures with youthful ideals and a realist's recognition of the dictatorial world around him. Horace is famed for his fine phrases, lyric sex, and guidance on how to live, but he was a poet maddened by war, and many of his most self-revealing poems have rarely been seen. He could be sublime and obscene, amusing and abusive, a model of moderation and anything but.

In Fires Which Burned Brightly, Faulks, a reluctant memoirist, offers readers a series of detailed snapshots from a life in progress. They include a post-war rural childhood – ‘cold mutton and wet washing on a rack over the range’ – the booze-sodden heyday of Fleet Street and a career as one of the country’s most acclaimed novelists.

Malcolm Cowley is not a household name today, but the American literary canon would look very different without him. A prototypical “man of letters” of his generation—Harvard University, a volunteer in the French ambulance corps in World War I, a rite of passage in Paris after the war—he became one of the few truly influential critics of the 1920s and ’30s, along with his close New Republic colleague Edmund Wilson. Cowley’s early support of Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and their set—and indeed for framing this group in generational terms in the first place—secured his place in literary history.

Marking the first time Toews has written her own life in nonfiction, A Truce That Is Not Peace explores the uneasy pact every creative person makes with memory. Wildly inventive yet masterfully controlled; slyly casual yet momentous; wrenching and joyful; hilarious and humane—this is Miriam Toews at her dazzling best, remaking her world and inventing an astonishing new literary form to contain it.

Every day, for the last four years of Whitman’s life, Traubel visited his friend and mentor in his small home in Camden, New Jersey. There, in his seventies, the great poet sat in his rocking chair, partially paralyzed, surrounded by a sea of papers, looking back over his life and accepting his quickly approaching death.
