Jean-Remy von Matt ist der kreative Kopf von Deutschland bekanntester Werbeagentur Jung von Matt. Als Werber und Texter war er immer gefordert zu verdichten.

A lume di candela o su un prato fiorito, in cucina o - le più fortunate - in una stanza tutta per sé, le donne hanno sempre letto. E fintanto che i loro occhi si posavano su libri scelti dagli uomini, non hanno mai fatto troppa paura. Così, per secoli, le donne hanno conosciuto solo gli scritti dei padri, gli stessi che fin da bambina anche Dacia Maraini ha divorato, e che hanno nutrito la sua fantasia.

Criada por padres de mentalidad científica y espíritu independiente, Margaret Atwood pasó gran parte de su infancia en los bosques remotos del norte de Quebec, lejos de las convenciones sociales. Aquella niñez nómada y sin ataduras marcó el inicio de un camino fuera de lo común, que ella misma narra con lucidez, ironía e ingenio, entrelazando los momentos decisivos de su vida con las obras que han transformado la narrativa contemporánea, como Ojo de gato y El cuento de la criada.

From the death of Kurt Cobain, to the birth of Britpop, Mohan forensically examines the era when you could truly come as you are. 1996 follows the year when all elements of British culture; music, politics, football, fashion, food, art and media collided spectacularly, allowing Britain to reclaim it's title as the artistic center of the world. Mohan looks back (without anger), through the lens of his insider perspective, at the decade where records sold in their millions, rock icons made friends in politics and no one knew what an iPhone was.

Ci si vergogna a dire che ci si sente soli, ma lo siamo sempre di più. Daria Bignardi lo dice con sincerità, ironia, coraggio. Sente che la solitudine può essere una prigione ma anche un posto da cui ascoltare il battito del cuore del mondo. Il mondo la chiama e lei parte.

Vincent Van Gogh arrived in the French capital on the last day of February 1886, a month short of his thirty-third birthday. He was a man beaten down by life, half-starved, and nearly broken psychologically. He was saved by his brother Theo, who provided him with room, board, and, most crucially, emotional support while he attempted to master the difficult craft of painting. Thus far, Vincent's crude scenes of peasant life rendered in murky shades of brown and gray were both hackneyed and amateurish.

È un giardino trascurato da tempo| come sembrano indicare i nodi dei rampicanti che coprono i mattoni rossi| gli alberi da frutto marcescenti e le rose dai colori sbiaditi. Fino a quel momento| la sua aspirazione botanica si era manifestata solo in un sogno ricorrente: una porta che conduce verso un luogo sconosciuto| in cui lei| priva di peso| si ritrova ad abitare un territorio nuovo| ricco di potenzialità.
