Embedded within this audiobook are questions about the inevitability of death, the longing for a full life, and the disappointment of loss.

Burns writes a candid reflection on suffering and explores the possibilities of recovery. Can suffering be avoided? Can trauma be minimized? Is recovery possible?

Karl Kraus gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Aphoristiker deutscher Sprache. Ob berühmte Schriftsteller oder die Presse - nichts und niemand wurde von der gnadenlosen Kritik seiner Feder verschont. Bekannte Künstler wie Stefan Zweig, Georg Trakl, Thomas Mann und andere zollten ihm Respekt, aber die Zahl seiner Feinde in Kunst und Gesellschaft war enorm. Als Vorleser hinterließ er aufgrund seiner Sprachgewalt und Persönlichkeit angeblich einen äußerst außergewöhnlichen Eindruck.

Jon Fosse said farewell to theory early in his career, choosing poetry, fiction, and drama as his mediums of choice. Here, however, in a selection from his two books of essays, we see just how incisive a critic and memoirist he can be. Not only including a generous portion of Fosse's writing on literature and theater—including the irresistible "Thomas Bernhard and His Grandfather"—this collection also includes such personal essays such as "My Dear New Norwegian," "Old Houses," and "He Who Didn't Want to Become a Teacher."

14.10.1771: Der junge Goethe, 22 Jahre alt, hält eine selbstverfasste Rede auf William Shakespeare anlässlich des Shakespeare-Tages in Frankfurt/Main. Er hält sie im Familienkreis, nimmt kein Blatt vor den Mund und erklärt, warum der Barde aus Stratford-upon-Avon so wichtig für die Entwicklung des Dramas in der Sturm und Drang-Zeit war. Shakespeare räumte auf mit der aristotelischen Dramenkonzeption der Einheit von Ort, Zeit und Raum und gab den Autoren erst dadurch die wahre künstlerische Freiheit. Ein äußerst bedeutsamer Grundlagentext der Literaturgeschichte!

This is a book of ideas—possibly different and unusual ideas—that are often anti-intuitive, politically incorrect and contrary. It is about how humans view themselves, their world and the Universe. It is about something called a worldview—a collection of mental models that form a structure or frame-work with which the brain classifies and interprets incoming and existing input and forms the basis for what is though, believed, retained or dismissed.

A few years ago, Erica Heller realized how universal the longing is for one more moment with a lost loved one. It could be a parent, a sibling, a mentor, or a friend, but who wouldn't love the opportunity to sit down, break bread, and just talk? Who wouldn't jump at the chance to ask those unasked questions, or share those unvoiced feelings?

The police murders of two Black men, Philando Castile and George Floyd, frame this searing exploration of the historical and fictional narratives that white America tells itself to justify and maintain white supremacy. From the country's founding through the summer of Black Lives Matter in 2020, David Mura unmasks how white stories about race attempt to erase the brutality of the past and underpin systemic racism in the present.

This colorful, energetic anthology offers reflections on identity, culture, family, food and expectations, ultimately revealing deep truths about both Australian and Indian life.

In 1892, Gertrude Bell visited Persia (now Iran) shortly after the appointment of her uncle, Sir Frank Lascelles, as British minister in Tehran. Three years later came Persian Pictures, Gertrude Bell’s first written work, which presents a series of vivid sketches of Persian culture and society at the time.

The Fable of the Bees—a satirical poem, prose discussion, three essays and six dialogues completed in 1729—exposes human vices but defends them as a necessity within a wealthy society. Mandeville’s bees thrive until they start living by honesty and virtue… then they are impoverished. Mandeville did not play by the rules: he satirized the sins of society but also ridiculed the widespread hypocrisy of deploring these sins whilst reaping their benefits. He and his work were attacked for the rest of the century.
