Story
Essays in Love is a stunningly original love story. Taking in Aristotle, Wittgenstein, history, religion and Groucho Marx, Alain de Botton charts the progress of a love affair from the first kiss to argument and reconciliation, from intimacy and tenderness to the onset of anxiety and heartbreak.

Story
Noch bevor ihn der Roman "Unendlicher Spaß" weltweit berühmt machte, war David Foster Wallace bekannt für seine so subjektiven wie literarischen Essays und Reportagen. Er ging dorthin, wo es (ihm) wehtat: an die Wurzeln der eigenen Depression, auf eine Pornomesse, mit dem Hummer in den Kochtopf und an den Kern des Menschseins. "Die wahre Traurigkeit der Erwachsenen" versammelt die vier großen Texte von Foster Wallace "Der Planet Trillaphon im Verhältnis zur Üblen Sache", "Der große rote Sohn", "Am Beispiel des Hummers" und "This is Water/Das hier ist Wasser" in einem Hörbuch.

Story
"Nu vil jeg fortælle en kærlighedshistorie, ikke en som jeg har læst eller fundet på, men en som jeg kun har hørt om. Mange gange. Der er mere kærlighed i den end i nogen som helst, jeg har læst om i bøger, og for mig er den både smuk og bevægende." Sådan fortæller Astrid Lindgren om sine forældre. Bogen indeholder også andre barndomserindringer og interessante essays om bl.a. bogens fremtid og om en svensk pioner i Amerika samt en kærlighedshistorie fra 1700-tallets Tyskland.

Story
Trotz ist in seiner reinen Essenz: der Moment des Aufbäumens. Er kann ganze Gesellschaften in den Fortschritt katapultieren. Er kann aber auch: bremsen. Das gilt nicht nur für uns als Gemeinschaft, sondern auch für jeden Einzelnen. Wer ist nicht schon einmal trotzig über sich hinausgewachsen? Und wer wurde nicht auch einmal vom Trotz daran gehindert, etwas zu erreichen? Ronja von Rönne kennt den Trotz, etwas besser sogar, als ihr lieb ist. In diesem persönlichen Essay zeigt sie, wann der Trotz sie am Leben gehalten hat.

Story
Eine der bedeutendsten literarischen Stimmen unserer Zeit. Es ist eine ungewöhnliche Nacht, die Leïla Slimani im Museo Punta Della Dogana in Venedig verbringt. Im einstigen Zollgebäude der Serenissima, einem Ort, an dem sich seit jeher Orient und Okzident begegnen. Für die französisch-marokkanische Schriftstellerin wird er zum Symbol ihrer eigenen Geschichte. Allein im Museum, in den dunklen Stunden zwischen Sonnenuntergang und Tagesanbruch, taucht Slimani in Erinnerungen ein.
