Das Lob der Torheit ist in Form einer Rede der personifizierten Torheit geschrieben, die ihre eigene Bedeutung und die Vorteile ihrer Existenz preist. Die Torheit spricht direkt zu den Lesern und argumentiert, dass sie in allen Bereichen des menschlichen Lebens präsent und notwendig ist. Sie lobt die Torheit in verschiedenen sozialen, politischen und religiösen Kontexten und kritisiert dabei indirekt die Missstände und Heuchelei der Gesellschaft.

« Mes grands-parents ont grandi à l’Est de l’Europe, dans des pays de grands froids. Ils ont connu le chaos, les persécutions et l’exil. Plus qu’un désir, une fascination, la France fut pour eux une intuition. Même si tout cela m’est inconnu, cela ne m’est pas étranger. Je porte en moi leurs racines et aujourd’hui, sans que je les convoque, elles se rappellent à moi. ».

雨のそぼ降る森、嵐の去ったあとの海辺、晴れた夜の岬。そこは鳥や虫や植物が歓喜の声をあげ、生命なきものさえ生を祝福し、子どもたちへの大切な贈り物を用意して待っている場所……。未知なる神秘に目をみはる感性を取り戻し、発見の喜びに浸ろう。

From the fleeting beauty of a moth's final moments to reflections on the nature of art, identity, and the human experience, Woolf’s writing invites listeners into her world of introspection, subtle observations, and profound insights. In this collection, Woolf navigates themes of life, death, creativity, and the inner workings of the mind with an unparalleled sensitivity that remains timeless.

Based on two lectures Woolf delivered at the University of Cambridge, A Room of One’s Own compellingly argues for women’s intellectual freedom and the importance of financial independence. It is still considered one of the most powerful pieces of feminist writing to this day. Published in 1929, A Room of One’s Own asserts a simple message: in order for women to reach their full creative potential, they must have their own money and space with which to do it with.

In this hauntingly poetic essay, Virginia Woolf captures the fragile beauty of life and death through the simple image of a moth struggling in the light. As she reflects on the inevitability of mortality and the quiet force of nature, Woolf’s sharp, introspective prose invites readers to confront their own fleeting existence. The Death of the Moth is a meditation on life’s transience, a masterclass in Woolf’s ability to turn ordinary moments into profound reflections on human vulnerability.

Spring arrives with a rush of words, and Ralph Waldo Emerson stands at the threshold, pen in hand. May-Day and Other Pieces is not just a collection of poems—it is an invitation to witness the shifting tides of nature, thought, and destiny through the eyes of one of America's sharpest philosophical minds. From the awakening landscapes of May-Day to the untamed wilderness of The Adirondacs, Emerson moves effortlessly between the grandeur of the world and the depths of the soul.

En Ramón López Velarde. La lumbre inmóvil —selección y epílogo de Marco Antonio Campos−, José Emilio Pacheco realiza una lectura de la obra del autor de La suave Patria, una disección única de su quehacer poético.

En esta colección de textos concebidos en distintas partes del mundo, Michèle Petit analiza el lugar del arte y la literatura en el contexto de las crisis que se han venido multiplicando en los últimos años: guerras, cambio climático, pandemias, etcétera. Se trata aquí de la belleza que permite transfigurar lo peor después de una tragedia; de la transmisión cultural en el exilio, que es la suerte de tantos niños, mujeres y hombres en la actualidad; de la forma en que el lenguaje, cuando se acerca al canto, nos permite sintonizarnos con el espacio y con eso que llamamos naturaleza.

La traducción al latín de la obra de Maimónides "Moreh Nevukhim" (Guía para Perplejos) es considerada la obra judía más influyente de los últimos milenios. Marcó el inicio de la escolástica, un movimiento nutrido por pensadores judíos. Impresa por la primera imprenta mecánica de Gutenberg, su influencia se extendió hasta el Quinto Concilio de Letrán (1512-1517), donde se instó a los eruditos a reconciliar la teología y la filosofía. La Guía revolucionó el currículo escolar al reintegrar las leyes del pensamiento en el ámbito de la fe, influyendo en el principio de razón suficiente de Leibniz.

"Auch der Mutigste von uns hat nur selten den Mut zu dem, was er eigentlich weiß ..."(Friedrich Nietzsche: Götzendämmerung)Eine heitere Psychologie bedarf des unverstellten Blickes, der "fröhlichen Wissenschaft", der offenen phänomenologischen Schau. Auch wenn man bei einigem in diesem Buch, wie z.B. den Ausführungen über das Bild des Sokrates, zurückschrecken mag, die Einforderung Nietzsches des unbedingt freien Blicks steht - bis heute - spannungsvoll im Raum."Ich mißtraue allen Systematikern und gehe ihnen aus dem Weg. Der Wille zum System ist ein Mangel an Rechtschaffenheit.

Emerson's Nature is not just an essay—it's a rebellion against confinement, an argument against secondhand wisdom. He strips away artifice, forcing us to confront the raw, untamed presence of the world. To walk through the woods, he suggests, is to be undressed of civilization, to shed the weight of customs, history, and ego. Nature demands no commentary, no theory—it simply is. This is not the sentimental nature of poets, nor the docile landscape of painters. Emerson's nature is unsettling, absolute.

In 1837, Ralph Waldo Emerson took the stage at Harvard and delivered what would become one of the most influential speeches in American intellectual history. The American Scholar was not just a lecture—it was a manifesto, a call to arms for a young nation searching for its own cultural identity. Emerson challenged his audience to break free from European intellectual traditions, urging them to think for themselves, to create, and to embrace the vast potential of the American mind.

Flower is a book of realistic admissions, likes, dislikes, memories and no-brainer observations, treating personal truth as unavailable – something that must be made up and convincing. Taking cues from confessional literature, his daughter’s improvised games, poor internet writing and shitty AI, Ed Atkins, in his first work of non-fiction, equivocates between inanity and divinity, ease and pain, sentimentality and sterility.

Was ist ein Mensch wert? Wie ermessen sich Nutzen und Kosten einer Person?
