Herodotus, the fifth-century chronicler, scarcely figured in the curriculum when famed Polish writer and traveler Ryszard Kapuscinski attended university in the 1950s. Ryszard became a foreign correspondent who hoped to go abroad, perhaps to Czechoslovakia. Instead, he was sent to India—the first stop on a decades-long tour of the world. His only companion on his travels was a volume of Herodotus. In his journey across continents, Kapuscinski discovers his life's work: to understand and describe the non-Western world, in all its variety, through his still-virginal Western eyes.

Among the fabled tycoons of the Gilded Age—Carnegie, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt—is a forgotten figure: Mrs. Frank Leslie. For twenty years she ran the country’s largest publishing company, Frank Leslie Publishing, which chronicled postbellum America in dozens of weeklies and monthlies. A pioneer in an all-male industry, she made a fortune and became a national celebrity and tastemaker in the process. Diamonds and Deadlines reveals the unknown, sensational life of the brilliant and brazen “empress of journalism”.

"Les personnes que je croise me regardent comme une vieille connaissance à laquelle elles associent deux images contradictoires : la présentatrice d'une émission qui fut célèbre il y a plus de vingt ans et qui demeure dans la mémoire collective ; la femme qui fit, à son corps défendant, des milliers de "unes" de journaux à l'occasion d'un scandale planétaire impliquant son mari. N'étant pas seulement l'une et ne me reconnaissant pas dans l'autre, je me suis finalement résolue à écrire mes Mémoires, après y avoir été longtemps réticente."

In We Don't Know Ourselves, Fintan O'Toole weaves his own experiences into Irish social, cultural, and economic change, showing how Ireland, in just one lifetime, has gone from a reactionary "backwater" to an almost totally open society - perhaps the most astonishing national transformation in modern history. O'Toole narrates the once unthinkable collapse of the all-powerful Catholic Church, brought down by scandal and by the activism of ordinary Irish. He relates the horrific violence of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, which led most Irish to reject violent nationalism.

Camila è piccola quando i genitori, borghesi alternativi, rompono le regole e decidono di abbandonare la vita normale per unirsi alla comunità di Osho, leader spirituale dell'amore libero e della ricerca della felicità individuale come fine supremo.

Over her four decades of working in newsrooms big and small, Margaret Sullivan has become a trusted champion and critic of the American news media. In this bracing memoir, Sullivan traces her life in journalism and how trust in the mainstream press has steadily eroded.

F. Scott Fitzgerald was one of the foremost American novelists of his time. His works, which included masterpieces such as The Great Gatsby, portrayed the Jazz Age of the Roaring Twenties and gave voice to a lost generation, but somewhere along the way, Fitzgerald himself became lost. After the stock market crash of 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression, the world cared not so much about glitz and glamor as they did simply trying to scrape together enough money to get by.

Paper Cuts is the inside story of the slow death of the British music press. But it's also a love letter to it, the tale of how music magazines saved one man's life. Ted Kessler left home and school around his 17th birthday, determined 'to be someone who listened to music professionally'. That dream appeared forlorn when he was later arrested for theft behind the counter of the record shop he managed during acid house's long hot summer of love.

Decía Carmen Laforet que la vida le interesaba en todos sus momentos, tanto en los malos como en los buenos. Por eso leía, viajaba, escribía y observaba los acontecimientos con el corazón revuelto, lleno de emociones que no dejaban de latir. En el centenario de su nacimiento, esta biografía recupera la voz de quien nunca quiso hacer lo que se esperaba de ella. Aquí se conjugan su certero retrato del ambiente de posguerra, sus análisis sobre la religión y la fe, y su alma, siempre errante, que, sin pertenecer a ningún sitio.

There was no reason to bet on Bruce Johnson, given where he started out. Poor, Black, and raised by a single mother who had a secret. He was the child she hid in plain view from the rest of her family. As an adult, he set out to just make a living - to do better than Black folks who tried their best before, while making his Momma and Grandmomma proud. His journey to becoming a successful TV journalist nearly killed him, but he refused to treat himself as a victim. His role was to use his voice and example to pull others out of deep waters.
