Disorderly Magic and Other Disturbances is a pop meditation on a number of themes: speed, delirium and distance, disillusion, urbanity, various manifestations of the idea of the wilderness and the wasteland, madness, dissolution, memory, mourning, forgetting, hauntology, hauntings, rapid transits, the non-existent, and conjuring the future. The work mixes magic, culture, mystery, memoir, history, melodrama — it is an invocation, an evocation, with dreamlike freedom of movement between past and present, from personal to universal.

Percy Bysshe Shelley's Ozymandias masterfully encapsulates the transient nature of power and the enduring consequences of human hubris. Through the vivid imagery of a decaying statue in an endless desert, Shelley illustrates how Ozymandias's once-mighty empire has crumbled into obscurity, leaving behind only a shattered monument and an ironic inscription: "Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!" This stark contrast between the king's boastful proclamation and the surrounding desolation serves as a poignant reminder that all human achievements, no matter how grand, are ultimately ephemeral.

Marking the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth, What Matters in Jane Austen? solves the mysteries of Austen’s fictional world. Jane Austen’s novels have been a staple of the English canon since the nineteenth century. Yet critics of the time did not appreciate the true complexity of her work. Nothing, John Mullan argues, is accidental or coincidental in Austen. As Austen herself said, she wrote for readers who have "a great deal of ingenuity themselves."

Der Dichter Torquato Tasso ist in die Prinzessin von Este verliebt. Doch wie das so ist in der Welt des Adels: Ränkespiele und Kabale verhindern sein Glück.

A chave, de Machado de Assis, tem seu enredo devidamente circunscrito no tempo: a história começa em 7 de outubro de 1861. Os banhos de mar era então uma realidade no Rio de Janeiro e a personagem central do conto, Marcelina, tem neles sua entrada na narrativa. De forma torta: apesar de ser excelente nadadora, quase se afoga, sendo salva pelo pretendente Luís Bastinhos. Ela, no entanto, considera outros rapazes – quem teria a chave para abrir seu coração? É ler o conto e deliciar-se com a ironia machadiana aí tão presente!

‘He seeks to contain multitudes’, commented one reviewer of John Stammers’ poetry, and in this long-awaited fourth collection Stammers’ restlessly eclectic range is very much in evidence. Here are poems of technical surprise alongside those of candid tenderness; poems that set love and love-making within a wider emotional and intellectual context. Here are epistemological meditations that nonetheless preserve the ‘essential gaudiness’ of poetry; and elegies for artist friends that consider the ephemeral nature of fame and charisma.
