Pocos problemas histórico-políticos habrán experimentado una revolución en su tratamiento por parte de historiadores y científicos sociales comparable a la sufrida por el nacionalismo en las últimas décadas. De ahí que José Álvarez Junco dedique el primer capítulo de este libro a exponer las teorías actuales en torno a naciones y nacionalismos y a proponer unas definiciones iniciales de términos.

Aman a sus hijos, pero se arrepienten de ser madres. #madresarrepentidas es un tratado de pensamiento radical que no dejará indiferente a nadie. En este ensayo controvertido, tan minucioso como iluminador, la socióloga Orna Donath examina la dimensión del tabú, desactiva los dictados sociales y deja que sean las propias madres quienes hablen de sus experiencias. Así, #madresarrepentidas se erige como un nuevo e imprescindible manifiesto feminista, llamado a romper barreras.

Jon Fosse said farewell to theory early in his career, choosing poetry, fiction, and drama as his mediums of choice. Here, however, in a selection from his two books of essays, we see just how incisive a critic and memoirist he can be. Not only including a generous portion of Fosse's writing on literature and theater—including the irresistible "Thomas Bernhard and His Grandfather"—this collection also includes such personal essays such as "My Dear New Norwegian," "Old Houses," and "He Who Didn't Want to Become a Teacher."

Angelo De Gubernatis ( 1840 – 1913) è stato uno scrittore, linguista e orientalista italiano. In questa Storia delle novelline popolari, che completava la sua piuù grande opera sulla storia delle letterature universali, impugna, come lui stesso dice, un filo d’Arianna e ci porta nel labirinto delle fiabe popolari di tutti i popoli, fino a portarci alla loro comune origine, i miti primitivi. Questo saggio è molto interessante soprattutto per l’approfondita conoscenza dell’Autore del Rigveda e del Mahabarata, che si dimostrano essere intimamente legati alle novelline popolari della nostra cultura.

America was founded on the concept of the innate and inalienable rights of humankind. Many Christians see an echo of the imago Dei—that every human being carries the image of God—within those ideals. Yet these rights were systemically withheld from the Black and enslaved residents of this country for centuries. Through it all, Black people have proclaimed the truth of their dignity and personhood in powerful and profound ways. Crowned with Glory collects many of the writings of these men and women, both familiar and lesser-known, to shine a light on what has always been there.

In ihren Frankfurter Vorlesungen des Frühjahrs 2004 ruft Angela Krauß solche individuellen Erfahrungen auf, um zwischen den Polen Wehklage und Vorfreude das Poetische für sich zu bestimmen.

Nie ist große Geschichte abstrakt vorhanden, aber unweigerlich hinterlässt sie im einzelnen Leben ihre Spuren.

Briefe an einen jungen Dichter ist eine Sammlung von Briefen Rainer Maria Rilkes, die 1929 im Insel Verlag als Nummer 406 der Insel-Bücherei erschien. Die Briefe an einen jungen Dichter wurden aus der Veröffentlichung der übrigen Briefe ausgegliedert und diesen vorangestellt, weil sich die Herausgeberinnen erhofften, auf diesem Wege mehr Aufmerksamkeit für Rilkes moderne Haltung zur Orientierung im Leben zu erlangen, während sowohl der Kommunismus als auch der Nationalsozialismus an Boden gewannen. Die Texte grenzen sich von politischen Ideologien ebenso ab wie von der Religion.
