    “We Philologists” is an early text written by Friedrich Nietzsche around 1874, but it was only published after his death in 1900. The title refers to philology - the study of ancient languages - which was Nietzsche’s academic specialty prior to venturing into philosophy full-time. In this intriguing early paper, Nietzsche describes his fellow philologists’ physical and mental proclivities with the barbed frankness which soon became his signature style. This book is considered by scholars to be a series of drafted notes sketching out the principles of a book rather than a standalone treatise in their own right.

    Aqueduct Press is pleased to announce the release of Cheek by Jowl, a collection of talks and essays on 
    how and why fantasy matters, by Ursula K. Le Guin. In these essays, Le Guin argues passionately that the 
    homogenization of our world makes the work of fantasy essential for helping us break through what she calls 
    ''the reality trap.'' Le Guin writes not only of the pleasures of her own childhood reading, but also about what 
    fantasy means for all of us living in the global twenty-first century.
