Produktbeschreibung

Puisant ses sources aussi bien aux origines de la pensée occidentale, de Platon à la Renaissance, que dans l'art, la littérature, la philosophie et les séries télévisées d'aujourd'hui, cet essai invite à repenser notre quotidien dans une époque où on n'a jamais autant lu et écrit- mais où, paradoxalement, les livres ne forment plus qu'une partie minoritaire de cette vaste bibliothèque à ciel ouvert qu'est notre monde.
 
A rebours d'un pessimisme ambiant qui prêche la fin de la lecture, Donatien Grau rappelle l'omniprésence du texte dans notre vie  : sur internet, nos téléphones, nos ordinateur mais aussi sur les murs ou au travail. Difficile d'imaginer une journée sans lire...  Pourtant, enfermés dans notre univers digital, nous avons cru à la nouveauté radicale de notre temps. Un temps où la lecture et l'écriture seraient devenues le pré-carré de quelques professionnels. Il n'en n'est rien et tout l'enjeu de cet essai est de retracer l'histoire de ce malentendu, de revenir sur l'opposition stérile fixée par la tradition entre philologie et philosophie, et de mettre en évidence des cas contemporains de lecture hors des livres mêmes. Peut-être alors pourrons-nous de mieux appréhender le sentiment de perte, d'abandon, de désarroi qui s'est imposé dans nos existences. Une existence où la séparation entre haute culture et culture populaire n'a en soi plus de sens, mais où les grandes oeuvres demeurent.

After reading my collegue's review, I decided to give it a shot, being sex-related sociology amongst my fields of interest.
Ania Srinivasan deals with thorny topics which feminists have been engaging for decades with, without coming across as condescending. On the contrary, her stance on the different issues is imbued with knowledge and humbleness of not having necessarily the final answer. Her intellectual honesty is just so outstanding that - no matter if you agree with her or not - you can't help but keep the book glued to your eyes!

I hope to hear more of her publishings soon
We're zooming in and out of T. Fleischmann's life in this dazzingly beautiful piece of literature, which is exactly what its title would suggest: a fragmentory reflection on what it means to have a trans body, and how it affects Fleischmann's way of existing in time, explored through a work that is part memoir, part travelogue and part essay about the artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres. Fleischmann choses to literally reject all kinds of metaphor, but they also don't feel the need to spell things out - that's why this book manages to invent an unusually poetic space where things remain just as they are, capable of carrying multiple meanings at once (queer experience being the main aspect this relates to, but not exclusively so). This is a text that is messy on purpose, that is hard to grasp and at the same perfectly precise; an ode to being complexely alive in the world.
Viola Davis impresses with intensity in cinema, for television and on stage. In 'Finding me' we accompany the actress through her childhood and to the roots of her strength.
It's a tough road full of adversity, setbacks and trauma.
Viola's powerful writing is breathtaking, relentlessly honest and full of wise insights.
I really love it.
It's admittedly slightly too late for this recommendation, but then again the Italian April is arguably more equal to the German May. An absolutely delightful holiday novel about four women escaping to a romantic Italian castle for some time to themselves - only to be literally spellbound by it. Read it for the lush Italian gardens and the irresistible spring airs - maby skim over some of the more dated romantic version of musical chairs.

Not many authors manage to be admired and thought of as somehow 'classic' with only three books under their belt but Jo Ann Beard is one of them. Her debut essay collection "Boys of My Youth" introduced her trademark style of autofictional, highly stylized and ruminative essays that centre around keen observations of beautiful quotidian lives. After having published a novel, this collection once again returns to the literary essay. Death, its reality and propensity for forcing clarity is the theme that runs through the book. The death of a beloved dog, of a friend, of oneself indeed. Beard collects beautiful details, seemingly small things and weaves an almost spiritual literary tapestry from her material. I found myself losing her sometimes but if you trust her, an astonishing hook, a breathtakingly turned sentence will always draw you back in.

Her way of writing is magnificent, first and foremost. The essays were very interesting and greatly researched. At the same time there was a good balance of personal experience and societal topics. Some of the themes I had already seen docs on or read something else about. Also it was quite America-Centric, which gave it some limits.
Auch wenn ich Zweigs Sprache bisweilen als etwas schwulstig und altertümlich empfinde und die Miniaturen ein gewisses Maß an Geschichtswissen voraussetzen, haben mich viele der Handlungen gepackt. Besonders Scotts dramatische Südpolexpedition war fast unerträglich spannend.
Der ganz besondere Reiz dieses Buches ist, dass es sich um wahre Begebenheiten handelt und somit Geschichte lebendig werden lässt. Als Leser lernt man unter anderem Händel, Goethe und Tolstoi privat kennen und hat das Gefühl, mit ihnen in einem Raum zu sitzen.
In Kapuscinski's strange, genre-defying work, a choir of former courtiers whispers to him about the extravagances and eventual decline of the Ethiopian monarchy. The book sits somewhere between oral history and reportage but its strange magic is wrought through the voices of the disgraced king's servants, now in hiding and only to be met through secret doors. They describe the lavish palace, the absurd rituals and the absolute power of the king that everyone had to scrape under. Their flowery language of adoration and servitude masks hidden depths of resentment and glee. It is this contradiction, as well as the observations on possibly the last absolutist monarchy, that make this book the astonishing masterpiece it is.
