"El hombre sufre tan terriblemente en el mundo que se ha visto obligado a inventar la risa". Friedrich Nietzsche. Pero... ¿es esto cierto? Dondequiera que miremos, parece haber una crisis, ya sea económica, climática, política o bélica. Muchas veces, al mismo tiempo. En este escenario, ¿hay espacio para el humor? SÍ, aunque no sea obvio, los tiempos de crisis son los más propicios para la risa. Es cuando se vuelve más necesaria y útil, porque, como dice Sergio de la Calle, "en medio del caos, el humor es la brújula para orientarse; en los accidentes emocionales, un airbag; y, en la oscuridad, un faro".

James Baldwin's breakthrough essay collection made him the voice of his generation. Ranging over Harlem in the 1940s, movies, novels, his preacher father and his experiences of Paris, they capture the complexity of black life at the dawn of the civil rights movement with effervescent wit and prophetic wisdom.

In I’m Laughing Because I’m Crying, Youngmi jokes through the retelling of her childhood as an offbeat biracial kid in Saipan, a place next to a place that Americans might know. She jokes through her difficult adolescence where she must parent her own parents: a mother who married her husband because he looked like white Jesus (and the singer of The Bee Gees). And with humor and irreverence and full-throated openness, she jokes even while sharing the story of what her family went through during the last century of colonialism and war in Korea.

For over six decades, Gay Talese has told New York stories. They are the stories of daring bridge builders, disappearing gangsters, intrepid Vogue editors, unassuming doormen who’ve seen too much. They are set in the star-studded salons of George Plimpton’s apartment, in the tense newsroom of a still burgeoning New York Times, in an electric studio session with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga recording their debut. With the wit, elegance, and depth of insight that has long characterized his work, Talese’s New York reporting showcases a master of the form at his finest.

Stefano Rossi, uno dei maggiori esperti di infanzia e adolescenza in Italia, vi scorterà lungo i sentieri tortuosi di un’età difficile e disorientante.

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?

Immaginate di poter trascorrere un anno intero fianco a fianco con un vero genio, di osservarlo all’opera, lavorarci insieme e imparare quanto più potete sul suo modo di pensare, ragionare, organizzarsi, affrontare i problemi, superare le difficoltà, escogitare progetti, trovare soluzioni...

David Hume (1711-1776) remains a major figure in British philosophy, particularly for two or three works, including A Treatise on Human Nature and An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. But he was also a prolific essayist and historian. During his lifetime Essays Moral, Political and Literary went through a number of editions and collections, far outselling his philosophy. Now, the situation is reversed. But listening to the essays today it is difficult to see why.

Si bien el ensayo emplea un narrador ficticio y la prosa para explorar a mujeres (tanto escritoras como personajes de ficción), y el manuscrito preparado para las conferencias se tituló "Mujeres y Ficción", el ensayo está considerado no-ficción. Generalmente se clasifica como un texto feminista, y su argumento gira en torno a un espacio literal y ficticio para escritoras que se encuentran dentro de una tradición literaria dominada por hombres.
