Story11
Spring is the time of renewal and rebirth, a celebration of the resilience of life. As the year turns, animals and plants that have struggled to survive the winter find new hope and create the next generation. The season has inspired some of humanity’s greatest art and many of its most significant religious festivals. Now, in Spring is the Only Season, Simon Barnes provides a fresh and compelling look at this period of the year.

Story40
Shortlisted for the 2012 Orwell Prize. 'As soon as we abandon our own reason', wrote Bertrand Russell, 'and are content to rely upon authority, there is no end to our troubles.' For over 40 years, Christopher Hitchens has proclaimed truth where others have spun falsehood and written, with passionate commitment, on matters that others fear to broach. This volume of essays encompasses Hitchens's writing over the past decade on politics, literature and religion.

Story25
Horror movies hold a complicated space in the queer community: historically misogynist, and often homo- and transphobic, the genre has also been inadvertently feminist and open to subversive readings. It Came from the Closet features twenty-five original essays by writers speaking to this relationship, through connections both empowering and oppressive. From Carmen Maria Machado on Jennifer’s Body, Jude Ellison S. Doyle on In My Skin, Addie Tsai on Dead Ringers, and many more, these conversations convey the rich reciprocity between queerness and horror.

Story20
Following the best-selling Summer of a Dormouse, Sir John Mortimer - playwright, novelist, octogenarian, and erstwhile QC - offers up more lessons in living and growing old disgracefully. What would we like to leave to our descendants? Not a third-rate painting or our PEPS, according to Sir John, but a love of Shakespeare, a taste for alcohol, the ability to defeat boredom, the importance of never locking the lavatory door, and so on.

Story40
Acquired Tastes is a celebration of life's extravagances. It explores an aspect of human nature that, although dormant in hard economic times, is capable of erupting with the hint of good fortune and the drop of a credit card. It samples the luxuries of Havana cigars, Parisian hotels, bespoke London tailoring, and handmade shoes; discusses the proper color for a stretch limousine; and weighs the cost versus the pleasure of keeping a mistress.

En este nuevo libro, pone el foco sobre los pilares fundacionales que hicieron a la adultez del siglo XX: el trabajo, la felicidad, los cuidados y el amor. Desde su propia experiencia, y haciendo siempre pie en la filosofía, Sichel despliega con agudeza, humor y profundidad los conflictos y dilemas de su generación para trazar un panorama que pinta de cuerpo entero a quienes hoy transitan la adultez. ¿Cuántos mandatos se disfrazan de elecciones en tiempos que parecen tener una infinita gama de posibilidades?

El silencio no es la simple ausencia de ruido. Hace posible la fortaleza interior donde los grandes escritores, pensadores, eruditos y creyentes se han recogido durante siglos. Requisito indispensable para la contemplación, la fantasía, la plegaria y la creación, el silencio es la íntima fuente de la que mana el lenguaje, e impregna nuestros espacios más privados y sagrados, del dormitorio a la catedral.
