Story1
David Hume (1711-1776) remains a major figure in British philosophy, particularly for two or three works, including A Treatise on Human Nature and An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. But he was also a prolific essayist and historian. During his lifetime Essays Moral, Political and Literary went through a number of editions and collections, far outselling his philosophy. Now, the situation is reversed. But listening to the essays today it is difficult to see why.

In W B Yeats wird die Literatur des ersten irischen Literatur-Nobelpreisträgers unter die Lupe genommen und dabei festgestellt, dass dessen persönlicher Hang zum Mystischen und Okkulten durchaus in seine schriftlichen Ergüsse einflossen, wobei Orwell als Quintessenz resultiert, dass auffallende Parallelen zwischen eingefleischten Religionsanhängern und Faschisten in Bezug auf den Hang zur Erklärung der Welt durch einfache Antworten besteht.

Richly immersive and intimately domestic, the Journals transport the listener to life in the Lake District 200 years ago as Dorothy describes the Lake District countryside, her garden and neighbours, keeping house, going on walks, and the people she meets along the way

Self Help was published in 1859 by Samuel Smiles. It has been called "the bible of mid-Victorian liberalism". Self Help sold 20,000 copies within one year of its publication. By the time of Smiles' death in 1904, it had sold over a quarter of a million. Self-Help elevated Smiles to celebrity status; almost overnight, he became a leading pundit and much-consulted guru.

En presque aucun pays son statut légal n'est identique à celui de l'homme et souvent il la désavantage considérablement." Simone de Beauvoir

In "Wie fühlst du dich?" geht es um die Erkenntnis, dass man Gefühl und Vernunft nicht einfach trennen kann, vor allem aber um unsere Eigenständigkeit, um die Fähigkeit, sich zu wehren gegen jene, die uns so gern am Nasenring unserer Affekte durch die Welt führen würden. Überlassen wir unsere Gefühle nicht den Falschen, sondern fragen wir uns lieber selbst: Wie gehen wir mit der Angst um, die uns alle in Atem hält?

Flower is a book of realistic admissions, likes, dislikes, memories and no-brainer observations, treating personal truth as unavailable – something that must be made up and convincing. Taking cues from confessional literature, his daughter’s improvised games, poor internet writing and shitty AI, Ed Atkins, in his first work of non-fiction, equivocates between inanity and divinity, ease and pain, sentimentality and sterility.

Story54
Claudia Rankine's bold new audiobook recounts mounting racial aggressions in ongoing encounters in 21st-century daily life and in the media. Some of these encounters are slights, seeming slips of the tongue, and some are intentional offensives in the classroom, at the supermarket, at home, on the tennis court with Serena Williams and the soccer field with Zinedine Zidane, online, on TV - everywhere, all the time. The accumulative stresses come to bear on a person's ability to speak, perform, and stay alive.
