A study into the customs and practices of indigenous peoples in the Americas, Montaigne delves into the concept of ‘civilisation’, contrasting the behaviour of so-called ‘barbarians’ with Western society. He challenges the idea that European values are superior, understanding the practices of the Tupinambá people and arguing that the horrors inflicted by the soldiers of Portugal on their enemies at the time are – in many ways – far worse. It remains a persuasive and compelling argument for cultural relativism. This audiobook edition is expertly narrated by Malk Williams.

La moda è uno strano incantesimo: ogni volta che ci vestiamo trasformiamo una qualunque forma o un qualunque colore del mondo che ci circonda nella nostra stessa pelle. È questa strana magia che fa di essa assieme l’arte più potente e più metafisica. Per parlarne è quindi necessario far coincidere la creazione e la filosofia. È quello che fanno Alessandro Michele ed Emanuele Coccia in questo trattato senza pari sull’alchimia delle forme della vita di tutte e tutti noi.

Il cervello è l’organo in grado di invecchiare meno di tutti gli altri. Meno del fegato, della pelle o del cuore. Prendercene cura è la nostra unica opportunità di estendere la giovinezza, di assaporare a lungo la vita e di salvaguardare allo stesso tempo la salute del corpo. Come racconta in questo libro Michela Matteoli, tra i neuroscienziati italiani più riconosciuti a livello internazionale, il cervello ha un punto di forza: la plasticità, cioè la proprietà di modificare se stesso e di autoripararsi.

Nella pensione Au Soleil Redouté, sull'isola di Hiva Oa, uno dei paradisi equatoriali della Polinesia francese sotto la guida del celebre romanziere Pierre-Yves François detto PYF, si svolge un laboratorio di scrittura al quale partecipano cinque aspiranti scrittrici. A un certo punto PYF sparisce e nella pensione si affaccia la morte sotto forma di un misterioso omicidio su cui ognuno indaga a modo suo, ma giungendo tutti a un’identica conclusione: l’assassino non può che essere uno di loro!

Russian composers now had to create work that served the socialist state, and all artistic production was scrutinized for potential subversion. The Sound of Utopia offers a vivid portrait of Soviet musicians and composers struggling to create art in this climate of terror. Some successfully toed the ideological line, diluting their work in the process; others ended up facing the Gulag or even death.

Nella storia di Madre e di Padre ci sono degli avvenimenti che determinano un prima e un dopo. La nascita di Maggiore e poi quella di Minore, ad esempio, o l’incidente che li coinvolge, ma anche episodi apparentemente marginali dirottano le loro esistenze, come le nostre: delle mani che si sfiorano per caso e poi si trattengono appena più del dovuto, o l’apertura casuale di una chat altrui. In questo esordio luminoso e contundente, Michele Ruol ci conduce nell’intimità dei suoi personaggi attraverso le impronte lasciate sugli oggetti della casa in cui abitavano.

La lecture de Jérémy Lopez illumine le récit parfois drôle, souvent désabusé mais toujours poignant de Michel Houellebecq.

Dans cette compilation, Michel Pastoureau retrace la longue histoire sociale, artistique et symbolique du noir, du vert et du rouge dans les sociétés européennes, de la Grèce antique jusqu’à nos jours.

Auch hier macht Houellebecq die verzweifelte Suche seiner Figuren nach zwischenmenschlicher Verbindung zum zentralen Motiv der Handlung: Der sexuell umtriebige Michel verliebt sich in seine Affäre Valérie, aus der intensiven körperlichen Verbindung entsteht eine Liebesbeziehung. Das Paar lebt seine sexuelle Experimentierfreudigkeit gemeinsam aus und steigt ins Sextourismus-Geschäft ein. Bis ihr Glück im thailändischen Sündenparadies ein jähes Ende findet.
