Sinopse

‘Hitchhike to Love’ is a highly engaging memoir that tells the true story of the complex and difficult life of the author Harry Higgs.  This unsettling memoir describes how mental health ran among a close-knit Midlands family in England due to their overbearing and overprotective mother Doreen, who ruled the household in a strict manner which caused the brother and sister Wendy and Raymond to seek adventure in hitchhiking from the West Midlands in England to Glasgow in Scotland to meet their soccer hero, Ally McCoist. In the process, Wendy found the man of her dreams, lorry driver David, of which Doreen disapproved immensely.

    The Great Philosophers - From...

    Philosophy has been underway for more than 2,000 years. The Great Philosophers traces the biggest and most influential thoughts in philosophy's long stride through history, beginning with the ancient Greeks and early Romans, the first philosophical thinkers in the West, to whom much is owed. 
     
    How their concerns became the concerns of those who followed is clearly laid out, as is the way their answers shaped what we now recognize as philosophy. The medieval philosophers are also represented, combining their religious concerns with ancient thought and carrying it into the Renaissance. The modern era, the explosion of philosophy sparked by Descartes, is well represented here too. Founders and representatives of both rationalist and empiricist schools make an appearance, as do philosophy's skeptics with their often-darker conclusions. 
     
    Philosophy's long walk continues, and you will find here the thoughts which make its contemporary form what it is, and perhaps what it is on the way to becoming. Philosophy is very much still underway, and The Great Philosophers pays regard to both the discipline as it is practiced now and to the history which made contemporary philosophy possible.

    No AI, No AI translated by Eduard WagnerEvents happen every day that can be seen from a different perspective. Here I try to document such views. Whether they can agree or not is up to their point of view. It may be that you can't exactly agree with that, but there are perhaps problems that would be easier to solve than just using armed force. Our planet would benefit from a different perspective on so many events. That's why I decided to see some events in society, politics and the climate from a different perspective.

    Frying Pork Chops Naked -...

    Eric Litsky brings us on a funny, rollicking, heartfelt trip down memory lane, from coming of age adventures, to growing up and still being the free-spirited and roguish adult that keeps the neighborhood on its toes. 
    By all counts, you could say Eric Litsky had a pretty standard freewheeling childhood. Growing up in the 1950’s and 60’s, there was little supervision and a whole lot of mischief. 
    What makes Litsky’s reminiscing unique is the view he brings to the stories as he takes the reader along for the trip down memory lane, all while integrating poignant little insights into lessons that are so uniquely human. 
    A delightful read for book lovers of all walks of life, you’ll laugh out loud, shake your head, and maybe reach for a tissue once or twice. Get ready for a very fun ride. 
    Frying Pork Chops Naked is the follow-up to Eric Litsky’s first book, Harry Would be So Proud.

    Matisse at War

    In 1940, with the Nazis sweeping through France, Henri Matisse found himself at a personal and artistic crossroads. His marriage had ended, he was gravely ill, and after decades at the forefront of modern art, he was beset by doubt. As scores of famous figures escaped the country, Matisse took refuge in Nice, with his companion, Lydia. By defiantly remaining, Matisse was a source of inspiration for his nation. 
     
     
     
    While enemy agents and Resistance fighters played cat-and-mouse in the alleyways of Nice, Matisse's son, Jean, engaged in sabotage efforts with the Allies. In Paris, under the swastika, Matisse's estranged wife worked for the Communist underground. His daughter, Marguerite, active in the French Resistance, was arrested and tortured by the Gestapo, sentenced to Ravensbruck concentration camp—and miraculously escaped when her train was halted by Allied bombs. His younger son, Pierre helped Jewish artists escape to New York; even his grandson risked his life by defying the Germans and their Vichy collaborators. Amidst this chaos, Matisse responded to the dark days of war by inventing a dazzling new paper technique that led to some of his most iconic pieces, including The Fall of Icarus, his profile of Charles De Gaulle, Monsieur Loyal, and his groundbreaking cut-out book, Jazz. His wartime works were acts of resistance, subtly patriotic, and daringly new.

    A memoir of a whirlwind romance gone wrong. 
     
    Kerstin is childless by choice and married to her job when Gianni, a charming Italian, turns her life into a champagne-coloured fairy tale. 
     
    Soon after their runaway wedding, Gianni is diagnosed with cancer and Kerstin becomes his dedicated carer. But when she discovers that he has been cheating on her all through their relationship, she is faced with a difficult choice: walk away, or continue to care for the man who betrayed her. She turns first to wine and then to therapy, eventually ending up in a Buddhist monastery. There she realises that finding a new way of loving her lying, dying husband might offer a chance to grow from her pain rather than be crushed by it - and to avoid liver damage. 
     
    Written with wisdom, humour, and unfailing kindness, this is a life-affirming tale of one woman's search for better ways to love, grieve and forgive.
