A debut essay collection by the inimitable cultural critic Maris Kreizman—an introspective, searing account of the life experiences that have pushed this former “good Democrat” even further to the political left.

This collection contains Virginia Woolf's two most important and impactful non-fiction essays: A Room of One's Own and Three Guineas which have inspired and enraptured readers for decades. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an English novelist and essayist regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century. During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a member of the famous Bloomsbury Group.

On October 7th, 2023, Jews in Israel were attacked in the largest pogrom since the Holocaust. It was a day felt by Jews everywhere who came together to process and speak out in ways some never had before. In this collection, 75 contributors speak to Jewish joy, celebration, laughter, food, trauma, loss, love, and family, and the common threads that course through the Jewish people: resilience and humor.

Imagine having the entire Jewish people over for dinner—and hosting a raucous, creative, riveting debate about their collective future. Jewish Priorities offers, for the first time, a wide-ranging, ambitious, and genuinely "pan-Jewish" conversation. Encompassing more than sixty top authors from around the Jewish world—Israelis and Diaspora writers; younger influencers and veteran opinion leaders; rabbinic and communal leaders, journalists and scholars, and literary and cultural figures, ranging from secular to ultra-Orthodox—each contributor offers a different priority for the Jewish people.

Born on the West Coast, the son of Bronx-born parents, Steve Wasserman is a generalist and public intellectual but is perhaps less well known as a cultural essayist and social critic of the first rank. In thirty splendid essays, originally published in such diverse publications as The New Republic and The Nation, The American Conservative and The Progressive, The Village Voice and The Economist, Wasserman delivers a riveting account of the awakening of an empathetic sensibility and a lively mind.

Black literature is perhaps the most powerful, polarizing force in the modern American zeitgeist. Today—as Black novels draw authoritarian ire, as Black memoirs shape public debates, as Black polemics inspire protest petitions—it’s more important than ever to highlight the places that center these stories: Black bookstores. Traversing teeming metropolises and tiny towns, Prose to the People explores a these spaces, chronicling these Black bookstore's past and present lives.

Alla vecchiaia comunemente si pensa come a una stagione di triste declino, d’immobilità, di giorni vuoti. Oppure, oggi più che mai, come a un’età in cui ancora tutto è possibile, in un prolungamento indefinito della giovinezza. Ma non appena laceriamo il velo dei tabù e dei luoghi comuni, l’"età grande" spalanca davanti a noi paesaggi inesplorati. Nel suo nuovo libro Gabriella Caramore fa esattamente questo: risponde all’esigenza di spingere lo sguardo tra le fenditure del tempo, ponendosi in ascolto "della propria carne e del proprio sentire".

Contrairement aux histoires imaginées par Arthur Conan Doyle, les douze enquêtes racontées par David Grann sont bien réelles. Que l'auteur se penche sur l'infiltration d'un gang de détenus dans le système carcéral américain ou la traque de l'un des grands imposteurs du XXe siècle, affabulateur caméléon aux multiples identités, qu'il retrace la folle cavale d'un vieux braqueur de banque, le démantèlement d'un empire mafieux dans une cité de l'Ohio surnommé "Crimetown"....

In questo saggio dirompente e suggestivo, l’artista tedesca di origine afghana Moshtari Hilal prosegue in forma scritta – ma anche attraverso disegni e fotografie – la sua indagine sugli aspetti sociali e politici delle categorie estetiche. Secondo Hilal, infatti, la “bruttezza” è un fatto sociale, politico, persino economico, indubbiamente legato alla razzializzazione degli individui. Hilal sostiene che la bruttezza, così come la razza, non sia qualcosa che esista sul piano della realtà, ma piuttosto una categoria politico-economica utile a veicolare l’odio nei confronti di corpi e identità non conformi.
