En este libro luminoso y poliédrico, el primero desde que le fue concedido el Premio Nobel de Literatura, Han Kang entreteje los hilos de su obra y de su vida, y traza las conexiones entre su mundo interior y el exterior a través de una secuencia de ensayos, poemas y diarios. Un libro de reflexiones, de palabras y de luz, que tiene en su centro el pequeño jardín del patio de su casa, orientado al norte y donde todo crece gracias únicamente a los rayos de sol reflejados por unos espejos que la autora debe ir moviendo durante el día, a medida que la Tierra gira sobre su eje.

Dans Les Moissons funèbres, livre devenu instantanément un classique de la littérature américaine, Jesmyn Ward raconte les difficultés rencontrées par la population rurale du Sud des États-Unis à laquelle elle appartient et porte tant d'affection. En l'espace de quatre ans, cinq jeunes hommes noirs avec lesquels Jesmyn Ward a grandi sont morts dans des circonstances violentes. Ces décès n'avaient aucun lien entre eux si ce n'est le spectre puissant de la pauvreté et du racisme qui balise l'entrée dans l'âge adulte des jeunes hommes issus de la communauté africaine-américaine.

Few figures in modern occult history provoke stronger reactions than Aleister Crowley. To some he was a controversial mystic; to others a visionary philosopher whose ideas live on for occultists. Rarely, however, does anyone remain neutral about his influence on the literature and practice of Western esotericism. Best known as the founder of Thelema, Crowley was also a prolific writer, ceremonial magician, poet, and accomplished mountaineer. His work helped shape modern occult traditions and continues to influence contemporary magickal practices, including developments within Chaos Magick.

Everyone who writes about Henry Miller begins by taking a side. Either he was a liberator who tore the last Victorian veil off human life, or he was a vulgar egotist who mistook his own appetites for wisdom. This book refuses both chairs at that tired table. It proposes something stranger and more useful: that Miller was never really a writer at all, and that the question of whether to admire him has been distracting us for eighty years from the one thing he was genuinely good for.

Je m'appelle Arthur Essebag. Depuis toujours, je vous divertis à la télévision. Je ne vous ai jamais parlé d'autre chose, car j'ai toujours considéré que ce n'était pas mon rôle. Jusqu'à ce matin où l'impensable a surgi. Des milliers de terroristes. Des villages anéantis. En quelques heures : 1 200 vies sauvagement brisées. D'autres traînées dans des tunnels, en otages. C'était le 7 octobre 2023. Le plus grand massacre de Juifs depuis la Shoah. Ce fut une bascule, une descente aux enfers où j'ai entraîné ma famille, mes proches, dans une apnée interminable. Et j'ai écrit.

Осенью 1866 года двадцатилетняя стенографистка Анна Сниткина подала заявление о приёме на работу к писателю, которого она боготворила, — Фёдору Достоевскому. Сниткина, называвшая себя «девушкой шестидесятых», выросла в эпоху первого в России феминистского движения, а Достоевский — известный радикал, ставший великим писателем, — впечатлил её своими произведениями. Однако при личной встрече Анна увидела Фёдора Михайловича несчастным, сломленным, измученным, страдающим эпилепсией и погрязшим в пагубной страсти к азартным играм.

Писатель Пико Айер живет в Японии более трех десятилетий, но, по его собственному признанию, эта страна продолжает оставаться для него загадочной.

For nearly eighty years George Orwell has been read as a prophet, which is a comfortable way of reading him, because prophecies are always about somebody else. This book reads him instead as an experiment that has now run its full course. The results are in, and they are worse than the prophecy.
