Story
Doris Dörrie ist eine Wohnende wider Willen. Nie wollte sie sich niederlassen, fest einrichten, Wurzeln schlagen, aber wie andere wohnen, hat sie immer schon fasziniert. In Kalifornien geht sie zu Hausbesichtigungen, nur um sich andere Leben in anderen Räumen auszumalen. Auf ihren unzähligen Reisen nach Japan, Mexiko, Marokko, Amerika und Südeuropa sieht sie, wie eng das Wohnen an die jeweilige Kultur geknüpft ist. Und bei ihrer Arbeit als Filmemacherin wird sie zur Expertin für das Erschaffen künstlicher Wohnwelten.

Time Lived, Without Its Flow is an astonishing, unflinching essay on the nature of grief from critically acclaimed poet Denise Riley.

Story
While his masterpiece On the Road languished on the desks of unresponsive editors, Kerouac turned to Buddhism, and in 1953 began writing reading notes on the subject intended for his friend Allen Ginsberg. As his Buddhist study and meditation practice intensified, what had begun as notes evolved into a vast, all-encompassing work of nonfiction into which he poured his life, incorporating poems, haiku, prayers, journal entries, fragments of letters, ideas about writing, sketches, and more.

Story
„Der Himmelskörper, den wir den unseren nennen, ist eigentlich ein Planet des Meeres.“ Für Patrik Svensson ist die blaue Welt untrennbar mit seiner Mutter verbunden. Sie war es, die ihm einst von rätselhaften Tiefseefischen erzählte und so die Neugier auf das Unerforschte weckte, die sein Schreiben bis heute prägt. Nach ihrem Tod begibt sich Svensson auf die Spuren ihrer gemeinsamen Faszination. Ausgehend von Ebbe und Flut erzählt er von den wundersamen Rhythmen der Natur, er folgt den Routen der alten Seefahrer und lauscht den Unterhaltungen der Pottwale.

Story
Trost finden. In einer Welt, die so überwältigend, ängstigend, fordernd sein kann. Trost finden im Empfinden von Schönheit, weil das, so Gabriele von Arnim, nicht weniger ist als Selbsterhalt. "Ich brauche Schönheit. Den Trost der Schönheit. Denn wenn ich Schönheit sehe, höre, lese, spüre, dann glaube ich an Möglichkeiten. An Wege, Räume, Purzelbäume." "Der Trost der Schönheit" ist eine schillernde Verbindung aus autobiografischem und essayistischem Erzählen: keine Kulturgeschichte, die ihren Gegenstand mit Theorie einhegen will, sondern eine literarische Spurensuche.

Story
Theresia Enzensberger kann nicht schlafen. Also schreibt sie ein Buch über den Schlaf und folgt dabei den verschiedenen Stadien, die wir in der Nacht durchleben. So beginnt sie in der zähneknirschenden Leichtschlafphase mit einem Essay über die Moralisierung von Schlaf, Traum als politische Metapher und die Folgen allgemeinen Schlafmangels. Fast unmerklich wird ihr Text in der Tiefschlafphase privater, innerlicher, und eröffnet uns eine intensivere, persönlichere Sicht auf die Welt, die Kunst, die Literatur.

Story
Jens Baggesen's The Labyrinth (1792–93) is a genre-bending and highly personal travel book that follows the young Danish author's journey, made in 1789, from Copenhagen through Germany to the Swiss border at Basel. In its outer form, it follows the conventions of travel writing: describing the cities, landscapes, and notable people encountered on the route, while also offering critical commentary on art, architecture, theater, and literature, mixed with reactions to the unfolding French Revolution.

P.J. O'Rourke traces his development from hippie protester to conservative grouch to jaded humorist. Along the way, we are privy to his strange, twisted days as editor in chief of National Lampoon, as well as the in-depth looks at appropriate sports for middle-aged Republicans, namely those which can be engaged in with a smuggled Havana between the teeth - fly-fishing, bird hunting, deep-sea fishing, and of course, golf. Plus, you'll hear O'Rourke's take on the Virtues of Automobiles - because what good was oil doing sitting in the ground for millions of years? - and many other hilarious rants in this off-the-wall collection by America's premier political humorist.
