Those simple yet extraordinary events in your life happen for a reason. A coincidence—sometimes a silly little thing—changes the course of your day or even your life. Is it chance, or is God communicating with you? A surprising answer to prayer comes at just the right moment. Could God be showing you that He cares about the details of your life? Bestselling author SQuire Rushnell says these silent little miracles are Godwinks.

Hellmuth Karasek unterwegs in Deutschland: Aug in Auge mit seinen Lesern... Hellmuth Karasek erzählt von phantastischen und skurrilen Erlebnissen - und nimmt uns mit auf seine Reisen quer durch die Republik. Als einigermaßen bekannter Autor muss man mit allem rechnen, sagt Hellmuth Karasek: dass einen der Schaffner für den Nobelpreisträger Günter Grass hält, zum Beispiel, und, wenn man den Irrtum aufklärt, mit "Herr Kasarek" anredet; oder dass die Dame an der Hotelrezeption einen unverdrossen "Karadzic" nennt, wie den Kriegsverbrecher.

"When I'm writing non-fiction I have to be very aware of my tendency to let the words take their own course, leading me softly, happily, away from fact, away from rigorous connection of ideas, toward my native country, fiction and poetry, where truths are expressed and thoughts connected in an...

Oft genannt – selten gelesen – nie gehört. Johann Gottlieb Fichtes Reden (1808) versuchen, ein Nationalgefühl zu wecken, und zielen auf die Gründung eines deutschen Nationalstaates, der die Nachfolge des erloschenen Heiligen Römischen Reiches antreten und sich von der französischen Herrschaft emanzipieren sollte. Er entwickelt gedanklich eine "Nationalerziehung“, welche "die Freiheit des Willens gänzlich vernichtet“, um den Einzelnen in ihrem Sinne zu formen. Es versteht sich, dass solche Reden heutzutage kontrovers beurteilt werden.

The Cool Side of My Pillow is a collection of essays. Don’t let that fancy word fool you. I’m not trying to get highbrow or rant myself blue, but there are experiences and observations outside of the entertainment industry that I feel are worth sharing. What’s it about? Mostly, things that matter to me, like putting in the effort, being honest, and not treating the environment like it’s the enemy.

New York Times bestselling author Chuck Klosterman asks questions that are profound in their simplicity: How certain are we about our understanding of gravity? How certain are we about our understanding of time? What will be the defining memory of rock music, five hundred years from today? How...

"Deux siècles de révolte, métaphysique ou historique, s'offrent justement à notre réflexion. Un historien, seul, pourrait prétendre à exposer en détail les doctrines et les mouvements qui s'y succèdent. Du moins, il doit être possible d'y chercher un fil conducteur. Les pages qui suivent proposent seulement quelques repères historiques et une hypothèse de lecture. Cette hypothèse n'est pas la seule possible ; elle est loin, d'ailleurs, de tout éclairer. Mais elle explique, en partie, la direction et, presque entièrement, la démesure de notre temps."

Un itinerario fra romanzo e saggio che racconta la cultura come esperienza esistenziale e ricostruisce a mosaico, attraverso i luoghi visitati e interrogati, le civiltà dell'Europa centrale - in tutta la complessa varietà dei suoi popoli e delle sue culture.

"Howard Phillips Lovecraft constitue un exemple pour tous ceux qui souhaitent apprendre à rater leur vie et, éventuellement, à réussir leur oeuvre. Encore que, sur ce dernier point le résultat ne soit pas garanti." Auteur de "L'appel de Cthulhu", de "Dagon" et des "Montagnes hallucinées", H. P. Lovecraft, maître incontesté de l'horreur et du fantastique, reste l'objet d'une fascination toute particulière chez nos contemporains, notamment chez Michel Houellebecq, qui le découvrit à l'âge de seize ans pour ne plus cesser de le lire.

Within this essay, Orwell criticises the 'ugly and inaccurate' written English of his time and examines the connection between political orthodoxies and the debasement of language. The essay focuses on political language, which, according to Orwell, 'is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind'. Bad English, he believed, was a vehicle for oppressive ideology.

A szövegek többnyire a 20. század legvégén íródtak, de 10-20 év irodalomban nem (nagyon) számít, vagy ha számít, az nem számít; Pilinszky az Pilinszky, Kertész az Kertész, Goethe az Goethe. A rózsa az... de azt most hagyjuk. Hogy mi a bánat van itten most, arra közvetlen választ nem kapunk. Sokféle bánat van, egy részük ráadásul öröm is. "Így megy ez."
