The judiciary has been the one sturdy dyke that has saved us from the excesses of rulers.

In 1992, two Russian moviemakers left a cryptic note for New Mexican writer Stephen Bodio at his local bar.

A collection of Jackson's letters from prison, Soledad Brother is an outspoken condemnation of the racism of white America and a powerful appraisal of the prison system that failed to break his spirit but eventually took his life. Jackson's letters make palpable the intense feelings of anger and rebellion that filled Black men in America's prisons in the 1960s. But even removed from the social and political firestorms of the 1960s, Jackson's story still resonates for its portrait of a man taking a stand even while locked down.

Os Peaky Blinders que conhecemos graças à série de TV transbordam drama e medo. Elegantemente vestidos, os carismáticos―mas profundamente falhos―Thomas Shelby e aliados se tornaram famosos por seus feitos atrozes, cujos desdobramentos resultaram em guerras sangrentas contra gangues irlandesas, em embates contra autoridades, em esquemas de extorsão de dinheiro e no competitivo ambiente de apostas legais e ilegais nas pistas de corrida de cavalos na virada do século XIX para o XX.

In Seeing Voices, Oliver Sacks turns his attention to the subject of deafness, and the result is a deeply felt portrait of a minority struggling for recognition and respect - a minority with its own rich, sometimes astonishing, culture and unique visual language, an extraordinary mode of communication that tells us much about the basis of language in hearing people as well.

"Una delle disgrazie del nostro paese, negli ultimi sessant'anni, è stata proprio di non avere avuto veri nemici. Avere un nemico è importante non solo per definire la nostra identità ma anche per procurarci un ostacolo rispetto al quale misurare il nostro sistema di valori e mostrare, nell'affrontarlo, il valore nostro. Pertanto, quando il nemico non ci sia, occorre costruirlo."

Com som els barcelonins del segle xxi? Som gent extremadament acollidora i orgullosa de la bellesa de la nostra ciutat, com diu Dan Brown a la seva última novel·la, elegants i cosmopolites (els dos últims adjectius ja no són seus), o més aviat resultem gent prudent i recelosa dels seus costums i espais? Som tan moderns, tolerants i avantguardistes com ens pensem, o el nostre progressisme acaba allà on comença el desordre d’aquest turisme que ens envaeix i ens atabala?

When Ada Calhoun found herself in the throes of a midlife crisis, she thought that she had no right to complain. She was married with children and a good career. So why did she feel miserable? And why did it seem that other Generation X women were miserable, too? Calhoun decided to find some answers. She looked into housing costs, HR trends, credit card debt averages, and divorce data. At every turn, she saw a pattern: sandwiched between the Boomers and Millennials, Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age, problems that were being largely overlooked.
