The Floor Holds Still - An Essay on Staying Inside

Anonym

Beschreibung

This is not a book about answers. It is a book about the hum. It is about the seven screws in the window frame, a smudge on the glass you cannot clean, and the precise expiration date of a carton of milk.
 
This is a record of a mind trapped in a single room, grappling with the vast, terrifying abstractions of a world in crisis by counting the cracks in the ceiling. It is an account of the small, useless details that become an entire world when the door is the hardest part.
 
Written in a raw, fragmented style that mimics the disarray of human thought, this is an intimate and unsettling exploration of paralysis, memory, and eco-anxiety. It is a story that does not arc, a narrator who is not an expert, and a conclusion that is not a conclusion. It is just what is here.

The Language of Passion -...

Mario Vargas Llosa

Internationally acclaimed novelist Mario Vargas Llosa has contributed a  biweekly column to Spain's major newspaper, El País, since 1977. In this  collection of columns from the 1990s, Vargas Llosa weighs in on the  burning questions of the last decade, including the travails of Latin  American democracy, the role of religion in civic life, and the future  of globalization. But Vargas Llosa's influence is hardly limited to  politics. In some of the liveliest critical writing of his career, he  makes a pilgrimage to Bob Marley's shrine in Jamaica, celebrates the  sexual abandon of Carnaval in Rio, and examines the legacies of Vermeer,  Bertolt Brecht, Frida Kahlo, and Octavio Paz, among others.

Ounces of Philosophy in a World...

Gilles Vervisch

“That’s the game my dear Lucette!”
(What is happiness?)
“Beef, the taste of being together.”
(What is religion?)
“Because you’re worth it.”
(Who am I?)
The “creators” of ads seem to be teaching us to live through the great “concepts” of philosophy, such as happiness, freedom, nature, the self or religion. But how many ounces of philosophy are there in this world of ads? That’s the question this book asks, without forgetting to include a dose of humor in its ingredients.

Anarchism and Other Essays

Emma Goldman

Emma Goldman (1869-1940) was an anarchist known for her political activism, writing and speeches. She played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. Born in Russia, Goldman emigrated to the US in 1885 and lived in New York City, where she became a writer and a renowned lecturer on anarchist philosophy, women's rights, and social issues, attracting crowds of thousands. Goldman was imprisoned several times for "inciting to riot" and illegally distributing information about birth control. In 1906, Goldman founded the anarchist journal Mother Earth. In 1910, she collected a series of speeches and items she had written for Mother Earth and published Anarchism and Other Essays. In addition to a comprehensive look at anarchism and its criticisms, the book includes essays on patriotism, women's suffrage, marriage, and prisons. (summary extracted from wikipedia)

American Hiro - The Adventures...

Jack McCallum, Steve Aoki

"Traveling the world with my father, watching him interact with people, famous and ordinary, observing up close his balls-out sense of adventure, and having a larger-than-life personality to live up to had a profound effect on me and the formation of my character." —From the foreword by Steve Aoki, Grammy-nominated producer and Billboard award-winning DJ 
 
 
 
Hiroaki "Rocky" Aoki was a man who succeeded in everything he pursued. From wrestling, ballooning, underwater exploration, and car and boat racing to founding Benihana, Rocky's passion for life infected all around him and accelerated the exchange of Japanese culture and cuisine with America. Rocky's rags to riches story, from dishwasher and busboy to owner of a multi-million-dollar restaurant empire, is an American dream realized unlike any other. Running and expanding the business would be all-consuming for most people, but Rocky would not be deterred. His determination for the business rivaled the drive he demonstrated in his other interests, some of which almost killed him. American Hiro by Jack McCallum, who had full access to Rocky Aoki and those in his enterprises, provides the only full inside account of one of the most famous symbols of cultural assimilation and capitalistic zeal in modern United States history—a champion in business, sports, and life.
