Laconice, prozele din acest volum amintesc de opera lui Faulkner și de scriitori precum marii tragici ai lumii clasice: García Márquez îl cita adesea pe Sofocle în această privință.

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.

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.

During the breakdown of an unhappy marriage, writer Joanna Walsh got a job as a hotel reviewer, and began to gravitate towards places designed as alternatives to home. Luxury, sex, power, anonymity, privacy…hotels are where our desires go on holiday, but also places where our desires are shaped by the hard realities of the marketplace. Part memoir and part meditation, this book visits a series of rooms, suites, hallways, and lobbies—the spaces and things that make up these modern sites of gathering and alienation, hotels.

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!

Abbey Rd - Parkoured - A poem about the Abbey Road Album with all its intricacies.

L'Empire du bien n'est pas un essai, c'est une charge, une provocation, un éclat de rire grinçantlancé contre le conformisme du monde moderne. Philippe Muray y démonte avec une ironiecinglante les travers d'une époque où le divertissement se confond avec la morale, où la critique est suspecte, où l'enthousiasme obligatoire dicte les règles. Dans la langue au panache aussisuperbe qu'excessif d'un moraliste sous nicotine, Muray s'attaque à une société qui transforme touten fête forcée et où la liberté de penser s'efface derrière le masque du bonheur collectif.
