هذا الكتاب تنقيبٌ عن مناطق غير مألوفة في عقل أم كلثوم الناقد والمبتكر، وفي النص الشعري الذي غنّته على امتداد عمرها في الغناء. وهو كشفٌ عن قدرتها على الانتقاء والاختيار والتأليف، وعن طبيعة النصوص التي قدّمتها بوعي ورؤية واقتدار. تقول عن كاتبها المفضل: "الكاتب المفضل عندي هو طه حسين. فكتاباته فيها رقة الشعر وموسيقاه. وكلما قرأت كتابه "الأيام" أحسست أني أمام شاعر حساس موهوب؛ كلماته غنية بالأنغام؛ غنية بالأصالة الشعرية. وهو في حقيقته مجموعة من القصائد الجميلة البديعة. طه حسين هو الكاتب الشاعر". ويقول طه حسين عنها "أسهمت أم كلثوم عندما غنّت القصيدة في إثبات جمال العربية وطواعية موسيقاها، حتى في أصعب الكلمات لموسيقى الغناء. كان لصوتها فضل في انتشار الشعر العربي على ألسنة العامة والخاصة".

"L'amicizia è una religione senza Dio né Giudizio finale. E non c'è neppure il diavolo. Una religione che non è estranea all'amore. Ma un amore dove la guerra e l'odio sono proscritti, dove il silenzio è possibile." L'amicizia, occasionale o fedele, è un sentimento che non tollera alcuna mancanza. È un atto di fede totale nell'altro, al punto che il suo tradimento è vissuto come una forma silenziosa di assassinio. Tahar Ben Jelloun esplora questo giardino segreto, le sue meraviglie e le sue ferite, e per farlo racconta di sé: dall'infanzia a oggi.

In this slim memoir, Theodor Kallifatides explores the interplay of meaningful living and meaningful work, and the timeless question of how to reconcile oneself to aging. But he also comments on worrying trends in contemporary Europe - from religious intolerance and prejudice against immigrants to housing crises and gentrification - and his sadness at the battered state of his beloved Greece. Kallifatides offers an eloquent, thought-provoking meditation on the writing life, and an author’s place in a changing world.

El 2 de mayo de 1973, la integrante de los Panteras Negras Assata Shakur se hallaba en el hospital en estado crítico y esposada a la cama, mientras las autoridades locales y la policía federal trataban de interrogarla acerca del tiroteo en una autopista de Nueva Jersey que costó la vida a un policía blanco. Objetivo durante mucho tiempo de la campaña de Edgar Hoover para difamar, sabotear y criminalizar las organizaciones nacionalistas negras y a sus líderes, Shakur pasó cuatro años en la cárcel antes de su condena en 1977, sustentada en pruebas poco sólidas.

Booker T. Washington fought his way out of slavery to become an educator, statesman, political shaper, and proponent of the "do-it-yourself" idea. In his autobiography, he describes his early life as a slave on a Virginia plantation, his steady rise during the Civil War, his struggle for education, his schooling at the Hampton Institute, and his years as founder and president of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, which was devoted to helping minorities learn useful, marketable skills.

Born in West Africa in the early 1950s, Somé was kidnapped at age four by a French Jesuit missionary to be trained as a priest, for the next 15 years enduring the harsh regimen of a seminary where his native language and tribal traditions were systematically suppressed. At age 20 he escaped, but when he returned to his Dugara people in Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso) they rejected him as an outsider. To reconnect with his native culture, Somé underwent a month-long initiation into shamanism.

On cold, damp Dublin day, Padraig enters Ryan’s of Parkgate Street in a dark and despairing mood – and meets the man. From this moment nothing is the same as he begins a journey in which he discovers his ability to truly lead and, in so doing, turns around a faltering business. This metaphorical journey is paralleled by a real one through various Dublin pubs, and the extraordinary people who can be met in these establishments. Pints of stout are consumed, profound conversations are had, and odd coincidences occur as the tale unfolds.

I fell in love with the bush (forest), the rugged terrain, the loneliness and wildness all rolled into a parcel and wrapped with the excitement of unknown territory. I was 14 and from that day, wanted nothing more than to immerse myself in the isolation and romance of the lonely Pakihi Valley.

One of the first personal narratives written by an ex-slave, this is also one of the few written by a woman.

After several failed escape attempts, and several years of hiding, she finally made her way North to freedom, where she was eventually reunited with her children. The book was published in 1861.

In this wise, moving, and unexpectedly humorous memoir, David Belden traces a lifelong quest to unite the personal and the political, the spiritual and the secular. Born in postwar London to parents who believed their faith-based movement—the Oxford Group, later Moral Re-Armament (MRA)—could literally "remake the world," Belden grew up surrounded by the conviction that personal transformation could end poverty, war, and hatred.

Vierzig Jahre fehlen zwischen Mutter und Tochter. Ein Leben, das niemand erklärt hat. Und eine Tochter, die erst spät begreift, dass man auch ohne Vergangenheit bleiben kann.
