“I don’t want to be remembered for One Hundred Years of Solitude or for the Nobel Prize, but rather for my journalism,” Gabriel García Márquez said in the final years of his life. And while some of his journalistic writings have been made available over the years, this is the first volume to gather a representative selection from across the first four decades of his career - years during which he worked as a full-time, often muckraking, and controversial journalist, even as he penned the fiction that would bring him the Nobel Prize in 1982.

Amantes son los cuerpos que sonríen antes de comer, que miran a los ojos antes de besar. Su pulsión está orientada al encuentro intersubjetivo, y por ello existe en la dimensión de lo ético. Lo cuerpos amantes desean derrocar el sistema heterosexual racializante y patriarcal porque desean borrar en la mirada de la otra el fantasma de una violencia vivida antes del encuentro entre los cuerpos amantes. Los cuerpos amantes anhelan la alegría de aquellas a quienes aman y se frustran con la herencia de un mundo simbólico que agrede y limita su capacidad de atención...

Periferia di Milano, anni Settanta. Gli anni del terrorismo e della droga, dei sogni di Oriente e di liberazione. Una mattina, nella classe di un Istituto Agrario, fa la sua apparizione Giulia, una giovane professoressa di lettere che parla di letteratura e di poesia con una passione sconosciuta. È quell'incontro a "salvare" Massimo Recalcati che, in questo libro dedicato alla pratica dell'insegnamento, riflette su cosa significa essere insegnanti in una società senza padri e senza maestri.

It is where Fidel Castro raised money to overthrow Batista and where two generations of Castro's enemies have raised armies to overthrow him, so far without success. It is where the bitter opera of Cuban exile intersects with the cynicism of U.S. foreign policy. It is a city whose skyrocketing murder rate is fueled by the cocaine trade, racial discontent, and an undeclared war on the island 90 miles to the south.

Una habitación propia (A Room of One’s Own) es un ensayo fundamental de Virginia Woolf, publicado en 1929. En este texto, la autora reflexiona sobre el papel de las mujeres en la literatura y en la sociedad de su tiempo. A partir de unas conferencias que ofreció en 1928, Woolf plantea que, para que una mujer pueda escribir y desarrollar todo su potencial creativo, necesita independencia económica y un espacio propio, libre de interrupciones.

Michel de Montaigne embodies the humanist ideal—curious, measured, contemplative yet not unworldly, witty, free of prejudice, and urbane. But what does this French Renaissance philosopher have to tell us about how to think and live today? In forty short, erudite, and lively chapters written over a single summer, Antoine Compagnon seeks answers to that question. In A Summer with Montaigne, Compagnon invites his listeners to join him as he strolls through Montaigne’s key contributions to our understanding of what is good and worthwhile in life.

Story21
Before Adam Farrer’s family relocated to Withernsea in 1992, he’d never heard of the Holderness coast. The move represented one thing to Adam: a chance to leave the insecurities of early adolescence behind. And he could do that anywhere. What he didn’t know was how much he’d grow to love the quirks and people of this faded Yorkshire resort, in spite of its dilapidated attractions and retreating clifftops. While Adam documents the minutiae of small-town life, he lays bare experiences that are universal.
