The Memory Palace is a collection of tiny, crystalline historical tales that come across like luminous short fiction, and, like Nate DiMeo’s acclaimed podcast of the same name, conjure lost moments and forgotten figures who are calling out across time to be remembered. For fifteen years, Nate DiMeo has turned to the past to make sense of the way we live today, finding beauty and meaning in history’s dustier corners, holding things up to the light and weaving facts, keen insight, wit, and poignant observation into unforgettable tales.

Story
For over six decades, Gay Talese has told New York stories. They are the stories of daring bridge builders, disappearing gangsters, intrepid Vogue editors, unassuming doormen who’ve seen too much. They are set in the star-studded salons of George Plimpton’s apartment, in the tense newsroom of a still burgeoning New York Times, in an electric studio session with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga recording their debut. With the wit, elegance, and depth of insight that has long characterized his work, Talese’s New York reporting showcases a master of the form at his finest.

"Quand je dis que je travaille à un essai sur la vieillesse, le plus souvent on s’exclame : "Quelle idée ! Mais vous n’êtes pas vieille ! Quel sujet triste..." Voilà justement pourquoi j’écris ce livre : pour briser la conspiration du silence. À l’égard des personnes âgées, la société est non seulement coupable, mais criminelle. Abritée derrière les mythes de l’expansion et de l’abondance, elle traite les vieillards en parias.

No obstante, sus ensayos pertenecen a un mismo diálogo, el de Borges con la historia literaria, el del lector con el escritor.

Virginia Woolf nos revela en esta obra, básicamente, la evolución de su pensamiento feminista en relación con la literatura. El libro empieza planteándonos una pregunta: ¿Qué necesitan las mujeres para escribir buenas novelas? La respuesta la irá plasmando y argumentando a través de la exposición de situaciones diferentes, en ocasiones inventadas o supuestas, donde predominarán las mujeres. La conclusión final es que para que las mujeres escriban buenas novelas necesitan independencia económica y personal, es decir, una habitación propia.

In September of 2022, twenty-five years after Leonard Peltier received a life sentence for the murder of two FBI agents, the Democratic National Committee unanimously passed a resolution urging President Joe Biden to release him. Peltier has affirmed his innocence ever since his sentencing in 1977—his case was made fully and famously in Peter Matthiessen’s best-selling In the Spirit of Crazy Horse—and many remain convinced he was wrongly convicted. A wise and unsettling book, Prison Writings is both memoir and manifesto, chronicling Peltier’s life in Leavenworth Prison in Kansas.

In der Sprache liegt der Schlüssel verborgen, der uns die Welt verstehen lässt.

Ein weit mehr als gewiefter Wort-Profi, ein überaus einfühlsamer Geist mit Verständnis für literarische Form und künstlerische Ästhetik ist vonnöten, um solch großartige Analysen über Werke zu verfassen.

In diesen frühesten Veröffentlichungen des Begründers der Anthroposophie wird der Versuch unternommen, aus den naturwissenschaftlichen Schriften Goethes diejenigen epistemologischen und wissenschaftstheoretischen Prinzipien herauszuarbeiten, die den Goethe'schen Arbeiten auf diesem Feld unausgesprochen zugrunde liegen. Im Lichte der Steiner'schen Deutung erscheinen Goethes Beiträge zur Naturwissenschaft als zukunftweisende Ansätze eines wissenschaftsmethodisch und philosophisch fundierten und zugleich tief spirituellen Zugangs zum Verständnis des Lebendigen.
