At the heart of this intellectual and cultural revolution was Ralph Waldo Emerson, a national celebrity who brought together a circle of bold and creative free thinkers. In The Emerson Circle, Bruce Nichols delivers a fascinating narrative of this transformative era, breathing life into the friendships and philosophies that comprised the titanic intellectual energy of this American Renaissance.

Born in Beaufort, South Carolina, she drew deeply from her Lowcountry roots to craft compelling fiction that appeared in major national publications such as Redbook, Cosmopolitan, and Ladies’ Home Journal.

Januar 1956: Siebzehn Jahre nachdem Mascha Kaléko Nazi-Deutschland in letzter Minute verlassen hat, kehrt sie zurück. Sie fährt nach Berlin, in die Stadt, in der sie glücklich gewesen war, in der sie als Dichterin erfolgreich geworden ist, und durch das ganze Land, ein ganzes Jahr lang.

In One City, One Shot, former journalist Jonathan Horn explains the steps he took to go from earning $40 per article at a weekly newspaper to trusted on-air TV reporter—all while staying rooted in his hometown of San Diego. With honesty, humor, and sharp storytelling, Horn brings listeners behind the scenes of local news: the chaos of breaking stories, the heartbreak of tragedy coverage, the scramble of daily deadlines, and the newsroom camaraderie that holds it all together.

He died broke, bleeding, and unknown. Now he’s priceless. Van Gogh: A Life in Color, Pain, and Immortality isn’t your typical artist biography. It’s a raw, unfiltered journey into the soul of a man we turned into a myth — and what we lost when we did. This book peels away the poster boy tragedy, the swirling clichés, and the pop-culture memes to reveal the real Vincent: a failed preacher, a frantic letter-writer, a man who lived on bread crusts and absinthe — and painted like the stars were screaming.

Un divorce forcément douloureux, une grande maison victorienne troquée contre un appartement en haut d'une colline dans le nord de Londres, deux filles à élever et des factures qui s'accumulent... Deborah Levy a cinquante ans quand elle décide de tout reconstruire, avec pour tout bagage, un vélo électrique et une plume d'écrivain. L'occasion pour elle de revenir sur le drame pourtant banal d'une femme qui s'est jetée à corps perdu dans la quête du foyer parfait, un univers qui s'est révélé répondre aux besoins de tous sauf d'elle-même.

Longtemps, Murakami a couru. Dix kilomètres par jour, six jours par semaine, un marathon par an, vingt marathons en tout. De cette passion, il a tiré un livre étonnant, entre éloge de l'effort, leçon de sagesse et mémoires inattendus. Car le maître ose une comparaison surprenante : si ténacité, capacité de concentration et talent sont les qualités requises d'un romancier, la course à pied permet de cultiver la patience et la persévérance. Courir est une métaphore de l'écriture.

But behind the marble and oil paint were four real men—Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello—who didn’t just create art. They rewired civilization. This isn’t a sleepy art history book. It’s a front-row seat to the most creative, competitive, and gloriously petty era in human history. Rivals, patrons, popes, politics, and power—it’s all here.

Wie in seinen Äußerungen über Goethe, so auch in seiner Beurteilung anderer Schriftsteller, verriet Börne seine Nazarenische Beschränktheit. 'Juden' und 'Christen' sind für mich ganz sinnverwandte Worte im Gegensatz zu 'Hellenen', mit welchem Namen ich ebenfalls kein bestimmtes Volk, sondern eine sowohl angeborene als angebildete Geistesrichtung und Anschauungsweise bezeichne.

This is the first book to closely examine the curatorial work that the celebrated poet Frank O'Hara (1926-1966) undertook for the Museum of Modern Art in New York and abroad. Upon his premature death, the New York Times obituary ran with the headline: 'Frank O'Hara, 40, Museum Curator / Exhibitions Aide at Modern Art Dies – Also a Poet'. However, in the half a century since, O'Hara's fascinating career as a curator has been eclipsed by the critical attention given over to his poetry.

This is the story of how John Madden and Pat Summerall got to CBS and, although very different, how they became the greatest broadcast team of all time. It is told by Rich Podolsky, who worked alongside them both at CBS. Separately, they were great. Together, they were the greatest ever. Madden & Summerall is about two stalwarts of the game, but their story is not without controversy.
