Story
W. E. B. Du Bois was the foremost Black intellectual of his time. The Souls of Black Folk, his most influential work, is a collection of 14 beautifully written essays, by turns lyrical, historical, and autobiographical. Here, Du Bois records the cruelties of racism, celebrates the strength and pride of black America, and explores the paradoxical "double-consciousness" of African American life.

Story
Throughout her life, Elissa Washuta has been surrounded by cheap facsimiles of Native spiritual tools and occult trends, "starter witch kits" of sage, rose quartz, and tarot cards packaged together in paper and plastic. Following a decade of abuse, addiction, PTSD, and heavy-duty drug treatment for a misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder, she felt drawn to the real spirits and powers her dispossessed and discarded ancestors knew, while she undertook necessary work to find love and meaning.

Story
Hogy az aktuális bornírtsággal fogalmazzak, én mindig meg szoktam írni, ha sárga a pecsenyekacsa. Itt több ilyen sárgaság, vagyis jó-ság szerepel - nekem folytonos, nagy élményem a magyar szellemi gazdagság. A gazdagsághoz természetesen a turulnosztalgia vagy általában a nemzeti giccs hol nevetséges, hol félelmetes, de mindig megbízhatóan nívótlan és mintha szaporodó megnyilvánulásai is hozzátartoznak, nemcsak az a hagyomány, amely itt, most a cd-n megszólal.

Story
We treat the body as an afterthought, until it no longer can be. Until the pain or the pleasure is too great. Sinéad Gleeson's life has been marked by terrible illness, including leukemia and debilitating arthritis. As a child, she bathed in the springs of Lourdes, ever hopeful that her body would cooperate, ever looking forward to the day when she could take her body for granted. But just as she turns inward to explore her own pain, and then the marvel of recovery, and then the arrival of her greatest joys—falling in love, becoming a mother—she turns her gaze outward.

Story
Ammettiamolo: la realtà se ne infischia di ciò in cui crediamo. Tuttavia, le nostre convinzioni trasformano il modo in cui percepiamo il mondo. Ma dove nascono e come si diffondono le credenze? Che cosa ci porta a sostenere le idee più insolite o totalmente assurde, a scambiare per prove inossidabili semplici suggestioni, illusioni o, al massimo, ideologie e atti di fede? Perché finiamo per contraddire anche l’evidenza dei fatti? E chi coltiva le convinzioni più estreme è solo un pazzo o piuttosto una vittima della manipolazione dei social?

Story
Paesaggi, umori, incontri, riflessioni, racconti di un viaggiatore sterniano che scende con pietas e con humour lungo il vecchio fiume, dalle sorgenti al Mar Nero, ripercorrendo insieme la propria vita e le stagioni della cultura contemporanea, le sue fedi e le sue inquietudini. Un itinerario fra romanzo e saggio che racconta la cultura come esperienza esistenziale e ricostruisce a mosaico, attraverso i luoghi visitati e interrogati, le civiltà dell'Europa centrale - in tutta la complessa varietà dei suoi popoli e delle sue culture.

In collaboration with the ACLU, authors Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman have curated an anthology of essays about landmark cases in the organization’s 100-year history. Fight of the Century takes you inside the trials and the stories that have shaped modern life. Some of the most prominent cases that the ACLU has been involved in - Brown v. Board of Education, Roe v. Wade, Miranda v. Arizona - need little introduction. Others you may never even have heard of, yet their outcomes quietly defined the world we live in now.

Story
Hollywood vs. The Author is a collection of non-fiction anecdotes by authors who’ve had the pleasure of experiencing the development room firsthand - some who have successfully managed to straddle the two worlds, seeing their works morph into the kinds of feature films and TV shows that make them proud, and others who stepped blindsided into that room after selling their first or second novels. All the stories in this collection illustrate the great divide between the world of literature and the big or small screen.

"Come viaggiare con un salmone" è un libro di istruzioni. Istruzioni sui generis, date da un maestro d'eccezione come Umberto Eco per situazioni molto particolari: come imparare a fare vacanze intelligenti, come sopravvivere alla burocrazia, come evitare malattie contagiose, come mangiare in aereo, come viaggiare con un salmone al seguito (se te lo regalano e non vuoi rinunciare alla leccornia), come evitare il carnevale, come non cedere all'ossessione della visibilità, e molto altro.

For the last couple of years, Fulghum has been traveling the world, from Seattle to the Moab Desert to Crete, looking for a few fellow travelers interested in thinking along with him as he delights in the unexpected.

Ross Gay’s essays have been called “exquisite” (Tracy K. Smith), “imperative” (the New York Times Book Review), and “brilliant” (Ada Limón). Now, in this new collection of genre-defying pieces, again written over the course of a year, one of America’s most original voices continues his ongoing investigation of delight. For Gay, what delights us is what connects us, what gives us meaning.
