Story
In the six lectures of The Great Gatsby at 100, you will join Sheila Liming of Champlain College to revisit the context and culture of the Roaring ‘20s, which inspired the story of the mysterious Jay Gatsby and his disastrous pursuit of Daisy Buchanan. As you’ll discover, while Gatsby is framed as a love story, it’s also a story of the American experience, revealing the unspoken rules of wealth and class and the false promises of self-made success in a world of Old Money privilege.

Story
DOYLE'S WORLD is no ordinary biography about one of the world's most influential writers. It is instead a work that deciphers in particular the cryptic origins and actual scientific methods used by fiction's most famous consulting detective Sherlock Holmes—and a work that provides a detailed look into the psyche and working life of Holmes’ creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The book follows Doyle’s entire illustrious literary career, with emphasis on the Sherlock Holmes mysteries as they evolved from the late 1880s to the early 1900s.

Story
"Ein Glücksfall ausgereifter Erzählkunst" (Rüdiger Görner). In der letzten Erzählung Stefan Zweigs – sie erschien nur wenige Monate vor seinem Freitod im Exil in Brasilien – treffen bei einem Schachspiel auf einem Passagierdampfer die Kontrahenten auch völlig unterschiedlicher Kulturen aufeinander. Der Großmeister Czentovic, machtbewußt, mit schlichtem Gemüt und nur an Bereicherung interessiert, steht dem rätselhaften Dr. B. gegenüber, der als ehemaliger Vermögensverwalter des österreichischen Adels und Klerus, in Gefangenschaft der Nationalsozialisten geriet.

Story
DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. Copilăroasă și matură, egoistă și iubitoare, anxioasă și uneori foarte relaxată, cerebrală, irațională, pasionată de literatură și de petreceri cu băutură și droguri – iată un sumar portret al lui Dolly, personajul principal al cărții. O sumă de contradicții. Dar există totuși ceva constant, un fir roșu care străbate, din copilărie până la maturitate, povestea zbuciumată, pe alocuri picantă, tristă sau extrem de amuzantă: prietenia. Fiindcă dacă iubiții vin și pleacă, prietenele din copilărie și din adolescență rămân ancorele ei sufletești pentru totdeauna.

Cea mai cunoscută carte a Oliviei Laing, Orașul solitar este un text radiant despre singurătate, mecanismele care o provoacă și despre cum ne putem doza resursele interioare pentru a-i face față. Apelând la biografiile și creațiile unor artiști precum Edward Hopper, Andy Warhol, Henry Darger sau David Wojnarowicz, Laing documentează o călătorie filozofică în care singurătatea devine insula fiecăruia dintre noi, iar povestirea ne poartă, pagină cu pagină, mai aproape de centru.

Offering answers to those questions and more through a mix of travelogue and social history, A Month of Sundays entertainingly charts the story of what author Daniel Gray argues is the People's Day. Told through Sundays whiled away in places from the Hebrides to Hyde Park – via Sunderland, Scarborough, Liverpool and beyond – Gray's latest book is a charming journey in time and place. A Month of Sundays offers nostalgia, people's history and affectionate, absorbing writing – a book drenched in the scent of gravy and summoning the faint sound of church bells.

James Baldwin (1924–1987) was a pivotal figure of the twentieth century, an influential author, intellectual, and activist who led a celebrated public life—and whose words and image and persona remain current in our culture. Baldwin's many incarnations have reemerged in the digital age as Baldwin's work becomes a touchstone for a new generation. It is the private, vulnerable, and messier Baldwin—the man behind the prophet and the online meme—who is the focus of this book.

Story
The figure of the horse, at once earthly and transcendent, represented the contradictions of freedom and captivity that enabled young Octavia to develop her nuanced sense of voice and place. Drawing on previously unknown archival research, this volume illustrates how Butler's development as a writer was tied to her extraordinary resourcefulness and self-awareness growing up as an awkward, bookish Black girl in segregated, Cold War Pasadena.

With Think & Grow Rich being number 13 among the best-selling books of all time, it is no secret that Napoleon Hill is one of the most successful authors ever.

Hill’s works are the result of Andrew Carnegie commissioning him to compose a “philosophy of individual achievement.” Carnegie was worth 380 million dollars at the time of his death, in 1919. Today, his wealth is estimated to be worth 310 billion dollars, making him the 6th wealthiest person ever.

В этой книге современным, ярким, зачастую ироничным языком рассказывается как о судьбе Пушкина до сентября 1826 года, так и об удивительном времени — золотом веке русской культуры, — времени Александровской оттепели, когда формировался русский язык и русское сознание. Это время великолепных салонов и стремительно развивающегося театра, динамично меняющейся моды и поразительной практики русского застолья, восхитительных красавиц и импозантных бретёров, скандальных разводов и красивых проявлений благородства…. Мы погружаемся в дела давно минувших дней и забываем о том, что происходит вокруг нас.

"Hätte Hegel seine ganze Logik geschrieben und im Vorwort gesagt, daß sie nur ein gedankliches Experiment sei, in welchem er sich obendrein an vielen Stellen vor etwas gedrückt hat, dann wäre er wohl der größte Denker gewesen, der jemals gelebt hat. Nun ist er nur komisch." Die Abneigung Kierkegaards gegen das Hegelsche System oder gegen Systematiker überhaupt stellt ihn in eine Linie mit verwandten Denkern "freien Geistes" - von den Gnostikern bis zu Nietzsche.

Una nueva, revolucionaria y muy documentada aportación a los estudios sobre Marcel Proust. Aunque hoy casi nadie lo recuerde, Marcel Proust escribió En busca del tiempo perdido, gracias a una extraordinaria capacidad de percepción que le permitió ver lo que nadie pudo. Sus contemporáneos lo consideraron un "médium despierto" y hablaron de él en términos que hoy lo vinculan a los fenómenos psíquicos. Este hecho —demostrado en las páginas de este estudio— fue silenciado por la crítica literaria... hasta ahora.
