High in a subsidized studio apartment, the unnamed 82-year-old narrator of Elegy in Blue looks out across the rooftops of Brooklyn all the way to the sea. His distinguished career on Wall Street is in ruins, his mansion in Brooklyn Heights has been burned to the ground, and most of all, his father, his son, and his wife―the stunningly beautiful and equally kind Clare―have been taken from him, one by one, over the decades, by war and an act of violence. Now his “allegiance is to his ghosts.” He’s almost lost to memory, reflection, and a purposeful letting go of life.

Rumi acknowledges both Sanai and Attar as having a major influence on his own poetry and stated 'Attar is the soul and Sanai the two eyes'.

Jamais la jeune Koya n'aurait imaginé être propulsée à des milliers de kilomètres hors de son pays natal dans l'inquiétant pays de là-bas, comme disait sa grand-mère. Elle quitte le douillet village haut perché d'Incapirca au cœur de l'Équateur, brise tous ses repères avec pour seul soutien le souvenir des yeux pétillants de la vieille abuela et de son énergie féroce. Elle suit la trace des volcans andins, le long de la formidable cordillère, qui, à chaque instant, lui rappelle les légendes de son village.

كنت أجلس إلى صندوق الدنيا وأنظر ما فيه، فصرت أحمله على ظهري وأجوب به الدنيا، أجمع مناظرها وصور العيش فيها عسى أن يستوقفني أطفال الحياة الكبار، فأحط الدكة وأضع الصندوق على قوائمه، وأدعوهم أن ينظروا ويعجبوا ويتسلوا ... وكما أن »صندوق الدنيا« القديم كان هو بريد »الفانوس السحري« وشريط »السينما« وطليعتهما، أرجو أن يقسم لصندوقي هذاأن يكون—فى عالم الأدب—تمهيدا لما هو أقوى وأتم وأحفل.

Ünlü yazar Gustav von Aschenbach, dinlenmek ve zihnini toparlamak için Venedik’e gelir. Ancak burada karşılaştığı “kusursuz güzellik”, onda beklenmedik bir sarsıntı yaratır; hayranlık, giderek kontrol edilemez bir takıntıya dönüşür. Şehrin üzerinde dolaşan gizli bir salgın tehdidi, Aschenbach’ın iç dünyasındaki çözülmeyi daha da hızlandırır. Güzellik, arzu ve sanat arasında sıkışan bir insanın sessiz yenilgisi… Venedik’te Ölüm, Thomas Mann’ın zarif diliyle; tutkunun, itibarın ve iradenin nasıl kırılabileceğini çarpıcı biçimde anlatan modern bir klasik.

Değişen Kafalar’da Thomas Mann, kadim bir Hint hikâyesinden yola çıkarak kimliğin en kırılgan yerini hedef alır: “Ben” dediğimiz şey, akılda mı yaşar, bedende mi? Bir kaza sonucu başlar yer değiştirir; sevgi, sadakat ve tutku ise bu beklenmedik değişimin içinde yönünü kaybeder. Aynı yüz, başka bir zihinle; aynı zihin, başka bir bedenle yaşamak zorunda kalınca, aşk bile kendi gerçeğini sorgulamaya başlar. Mann’ın ironisi, anlatının her kıvrımında hissedilir: Kahramanlar “doğru” olanı ararken, okur da bir sorunun etrafında dönüp durur. Seçim kime aittir?

Tonio Kröger, iki dünyanın eşiğinde büyümüş bir ruhtur: Bir yanında disiplinli, “doğru” ve güvenli burjuva hayatı; diğer yanında ise düzensiz, yalnız ve yakıcı bir çağrı gibi duran sanat. Çocukluğundan beri içinde taşıdığı bu ikilik, onu ne tam olarak ait kılar ne de bütünüyle özgür bırakır. Tonio’nun kalbinde iz bırakan ilk dostluklar ve ilk hayranlıklar, yıllar geçse de silinmez. Çünkü bazen insan, en çok “normal” olanı özler; ama ona yaklaşınca da nefes alamaz.

Think you know urban legends? Think again. Perhaps you’ve heard of Kuchisake-onna, the slit-mouthed woman who cuts your mouth from ear to ear? How about Sugisawa, the cursed village that damns all who stumble upon it? Did you know that people lurk in the suicide forest waiting to claim victims of their own?

Dating back to around 2400 BCE, this profound collection of teachings from the vizier Ptahhotep offers invaluable insights on ethics, leadership, family life, and personal conduct. Often hailed as one of the earliest surviving works of literature, these maxims provide a blueprint for living a balanced, honorable life—lessons that resonate just as powerfully today as they did in the courts of the pharaohs. From advice on humility and justice to the art of wise speech and self-control, Ptahhotep’s words guide listeners toward moral excellence and practical success.

Frau Rosalie von Tümmler, yılların sessizliğini düzenle, ölçüyle ve “olgunluk” denen kabulle taşımayı öğrenmiş bir kadındır. Ta ki bedeninin ona oynadığı tuhaf oyun başlayana dek… Önce küçük bir belirti, sonra umutla karışık bir sevinç: Rosalie, doğanın ona beklenmedik bir “yeniden gençlik” armağanı sunduğuna inanır. Bu değişim, yalnızca bedenini değil, kalbini de uyandırır; yaşamın geç kaldığı sanılan ihtimalleri bir anda önüne serer. Fakat her mucizenin gölgesinde bir gerçek saklıdır. Rosalie’nin “yeniden doğuş” sandığı şey, aslında başka bir gerçeğin habercisi olabilir.

À l’insu des grandes puissances, une Assemblée générale des animaux se réunit et décide de tout dire: leur vie privée, leur vie publique, leurs travers et leurs vertus. Les bêtes se peignent elles‑mêmes avec esprit et malice, en portraits et chroniques qui parlent beaucoup de nous.

Publié en 1875, ce recueil de Charles Monselet réunit des histoires d’amour et de galanterie où s’esquissent, en courts tableaux, les mœurs d’un temps révolu. D’une plume vive, tour à tour tendre et malicieusement ironique, l’auteur multiplie les variations sur le désir, la coquetterie, la fidélité et leurs illusions. Silhouettes élégantes, scènes fines et traits d’esprit composent une galerie raffinée, parfois piquante, jamais cruelle. Un voyage dans l’esprit d’hier, pour goûter la grâce légère et l’acuité d’un observateur complice.

Home Movies is an essay about the day-to-day realities and unrealities of its author’s hypermediated consumer life as a teacher and parent in Orlando, Florida. In each of the essay’s seven sections, Wheaton explores his relationships to new media and old tech, and the people around him, with thoughtful ambivalence and humor. Altogether, the various threads of Home Movies—image, tangibility, fame, nostalgia, simulation, marijuana, and cinema history—pull together into a moving attempt to accept the tensions between watching/being watched and life/art.
