I wrote this book in an effort to help creative souls who feel directionless and lost like I had been, and to provide hope through the stories of my life. To help them in ways teachers and authorities in their lives may have failed them. And to see their value in the world, regardless of their circumstances, and in business, in the markets in which they’ll trade in.

Em seu novo audiolivro, “Pelo buraco da fechadura: vi um baile de debutantes”, Mario Prata diz ter feito uma “quase biografia”, na qual conta casos vividos ao longo de sete décadas. Com a palavra o filho Antonio Prata, que assina o prefácio. "Meu pai é a pessoa mais engraçada que existe”. E continua: “Com meu pai, aprendi desde cedo que a literatura não é um evento chique ao qual devemos comparecer de terno e gravata. É um encontro ao qual podemos ir com a roupa e a atitude do momento, sem afetação.

'Why am I like this?' is the kind of question you might ask yourself after crying on the phone to your mother from Dollywood because you think you're going to jail for the rest of your life. Or after starting a rumour about the Luas because you were bored that resulted in being personally listed on the Luas Wikipedia page under the heading 'Incidents and criticism'. (You may say to yourself, these are things unlikely to happen to anyone. They have both happened to Carl Kinsella.) Here, attempts to solve the great human mystery of why we are the way we are...

Henry David Thoreau was a leading figure in the American Transcendentalist movement and the era of US literary emergence, an intellectual with worldwide influence as essayist, social thinker, naturalist-environmentalist, and sage. Thoreau's Walden, an autobiographical narrative of his two-year sojourn in a self-built lakeside cabin, is one of the most widely studied works of American literature. It has generated scores of literary imitations and experiments in back-to-basics living.

Mary Claire Kendall grapples with Hemingway's faith and does so commendably. She doesn't explain him or explain him away, but she does get us closer to his Catholic heart. Those wishing to listen to the heart of Hemingway will relish this book.

Shakespeare and the Catholic Faith is not only a biography of William Shakespeare, but more importantly, it’s about William Shakespeare’s faith and how his faith is reflected, not only in his poems and plays but in all the mysterious parts of his life that nobody could make sense of until now.. For example, why did Shakespeare leave Stratford shortly after the birth of twins Judith and Hamnet and live most of his adult life in London when he could’ve just written his plays from the comfort of his own home in Stratford?

Opowieść o Januszu Przymanowskim, który „Rudym 102" zawojował całą Polskę Czy jest choć jeden dorosły Polak, który nie słuchał serialu „Czterej pancerni i pies"?

Skąd sukces opowieści, w której można znaleźć sporo naiwności, wręcz komiksowych uproszczeń?

Esiste un legame segreto tra le due linee sinuose lungo cui si snoda la nostra vita: da una parte l’apprendistato dell’alfabeto, dei nomi, del lessico famigliare, dell’insulto, dello scherzo, delle lingue straniere, dei codici segreti, della poesia; dall’altra l’invadente amore per i genitori, la scuola che è un viaggio nell’ignoto, le seduzioni e dilazioni dell’amicizia e del desiderio, la contrattazione di un posto nel mondo.
