Story
An astonishing work of cultural criticism, this book is widely recognized as a brilliant and devastating challenge to conventional views of literature, anthropology, religion, and psychoanalysis. In its scope and interest it can be compared with Freud's Totem and Taboo, the subtext Girard refutes with polemic daring, vast erudition, and a persuasiveness that leaves the listener compelled to respond, one way or another. This is the single fullest summation of Girard's ideas to date, the book by which they will stand or fall.

Story
There is far more to being an author than having your name on a book cover, making a few bucks, or preserving knowledge. Authors are fortunate to connect, to touch people’s lives all around the world through their work. This book is your roadmap for getting published and cementing your legacy. While these materials are tailored for martial artists, any writer can implement the advice. A sad fact is that while 81% of people believe they have a book in them, only 1.8% of aspiring authors get published. And, a mere 5.7% of those published authors manage to earn a living from their writing.

Трагедия Отелло английского классика Уильяма Шекспира — поистине величайшая драма всех времен и народов. Великая трагедия о страстной любви и губительной силе ее извечного спутника — ревности.

Пылкая натура мавра не может вынести позора и в порыве гнева он убивает невинную Дездемону.

Story
Born in 1875, the great German lyric poet Rainer Maria Rilke published his first collection of poems in 1898, and went on to become renowned for his delicate depiction of the workings of the human heart. Drawn by some sympathetic note in his poems, young people often wrote to Rilke with their problems and hopes. From 1903 to 1908, Rilke wrote a series of remarkable responses to a young, would-be poet on poetry and on surviving as a sensitive observer in a harsh world. Those letters, still a fresh source of inspiration and insight, are accompanied here by a chronicle of Rilke's life.

In an illuminating new preface, Strossen lays out the multiple current assaults on sexual expression, which continue to come from across the ideological spectrum. She shows that freedom for such expression remains an essential prerequisite for the equality, safety, and dignity of women and sexual/gender minorities.

Story
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."

Story
In der Sprache liegt der Schlüssel verborgen, der uns die Welt verstehen lässt. Ohne das gesprochene Wort in Schriftform ist es nicht möglich Zusammenhänge zu verstehen, Ideen zu verbreiten und die Welt in ihrer Diversität und Komplexität auch nur im Ansatz zu erahnen. Ein weit mehr als gewiefter Wort-Profi, ein überaus einfühlsamer Geist mit Verständnis für literarische Form und künstlerische Ästhetik ist vonnöten, um solch großartige Analysen über Werke zu verfassen, die einem ein größeres Verständnis darüber vermitteln und damit gleichzeitig neue Perspektiven in scheinbar (Un)bekanntes eröffnen.
