Story
In the six lectures of Margaret Atwood: A Modern Myth-Maker, Dr. Jennifer Cognard-Black will take you on a thorough exploration of Atwood’s most celebrated novel to examine the many ways this book has transcended its dystopian roots to become something more than a tale of, “What if?” Over the course of these lectures, you’ll examine the social, political, cultural, and spiritual impact of the novel—and of Atwood herself—as you dive deep into the text to unravel its themes and inspirations.

Story
In 1773, literary giant Samuel Johnson set off with his friend James Boswell on a tour of Scotland’s remote Highlands and Western Isles. What followed was a vivid travelogue capturing the landscapes, people, and customs of a region on the brink of change. With wit, insight, and curiosity, Johnson reflects on everything from ancient clan traditions to the decline of the Gaelic language—offering a rare glimpse into 18th-century Scotland through the eyes of one of England’s greatest minds.

Story
Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65-8 BCE) wrote some of ancient Rome's greatest poetry, melding languages and cultures with youthful ideals and a realist's recognition of the dictatorial world around him. Horace is famed for his fine phrases, lyric sex, and guidance on how to live, but he was a poet maddened by war, and many of his most self-revealing poems have rarely been seen. He could be sublime and obscene, amusing and abusive, a model of moderation and anything but.

Desde pequeña supe que mi vida no iba a ser como la de los demás. La creatividad, el optimismo, el amor por mi trabajo, por los animales, la libertad y la curiosidad por aprender, ver y conocer, han sido mi verdadero motor. Todos los días aparecen oportunidades y hay miles de cosas por hacer. Siempre he tenido clarísimo que dentro de una vida hay muchas vidas. Y en la mía, como en la de todo el mundo, ha habido momentos en los que me he dejado llevar, otros en los que me he reinventado y otros en los que he arrasado.

Story
We’ve all heard the story about waking up as a cockroach—but what if a crisis turned you into a clam? After the dissolution of her marriage, a writer is transformed into a “clam” via typo after her mother keeps texting her to “clam down.” The funny if unhelpful command forces her to ask what it means to “clam down”—to retreat, hide, close up, and stay silent. Idiomatically, we are said to “clam up” when we can’t speak, and to “come out of our shell” when we reemerge, transformed.

For a century, magazines were the authors of culture and taste, of intelligence and policy — until they were overthrown by the voices of the public themselves online. Here is a tribute to all that magazines were, from their origins in London and on Ben Franklin’s press; through their boom — enabled by new technologies — as creators of a new media aesthetic and a new mass culture; into their opulent days in advertising-supported conglomerates; and finally to their fall at the hands of the internet.

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. ».

В 1890 году Антон Павлович Чехов, к тому времени уже прославленный писатель, отправился в тяжелое и рискованное путешествие на самый отдаленный край империи — на каторжный Сахалин. Проделав долгий путь через всю Сибирь, он прибыл на остров не как чиновник или журналист, а движимый желанием увидеть истинное положение дел, как живут ссыльные, каторжане и переселенцы, и донести правду до читателей. Результатом глубокого, подлинно научного и человечного исследования длиною в три месяца стал труд «Остров Сахалин», уникальное произведение, сочетающее в себе научную точность и человеческую чуткость.

Efter över fyrtio år med skrivandet som huvudsysselsätttning publicerar Jan Guillou nu sina yrkesmemoarer. Han berättar öppet och underhållande om de första årens författardrömmar då idolerna hette Claude Simon och J M G Le Clézio – båda sedermera Nobelprisbelönade – och hur hans vägar sedan gick från den experimentella litteraturen till en effektiv och verklighetsnära prosa. Men åren kring tjugo var samtidigt den tid då den unge juridikstudenten upptäckte att journalistik var effektivare än juridik.
