Story
Michel de Montaigne embodies the humanist ideal—curious, measured, contemplative yet not unworldly, witty, free of prejudice, and urbane. But what does this French Renaissance philosopher have to tell us about how to think and live today? In forty short, erudite, and lively chapters written over a single summer, Antoine Compagnon seeks answers to that question. In A Summer with Montaigne, Compagnon invites his listeners to join him as he strolls through Montaigne’s key contributions to our understanding of what is good and worthwhile in life.

Story
A portrait of a keen social observer at the center of the last 50 years of cultural life, captured through a vivid selection of O’Brien’s own writings on music to fashion to downtown art and, just as importantly and unexpectedly, the political temperature of America. Glenn O’Brien collaborated with visual artists, writers, fashion houses, and musicians throughout his almost 50-year career. Intelligence for Dummies gathers Glenn O’Brien’s essays, aphorisms and tweets, to create a portrait of the artist as cultural bellwether.

Story
En este breve pero intenso texto –hasta ahora inédito en castellano–, el maestro siciliano se convierte en Tiresias y se sumerge en su mito para revelar la verdadera esencia del adivino ciego. Entregado a esa narración viva y carismática tan propia de toda su extensa obra, Camilleri repasa en estas páginas héroes y dioses, escritores y personajes literarios, hila el pasado con el presente y, como Tiresias, escudriña el futuro con sus mirada al mismo tiempo ciega y clarividente.

Beginning with Yuka, a 39,000-year-old mummified woolly mammoth recently found in the Siberian permafrost, each of the 16 essays in Animals Strike Curious Poses investigates a different famous animal named and immortalized by humans. Modeled loosely after a medieval bestiary, these witty, playful, whip-smart essays traverse history, myth, science, and more, bringing each beast vibrantly to life.

Story
"Hace tiempo que no leía algo tan bueno. En pana puede leerse como una autobiografía—porque es la biografía de unos autos—o un ménage à trois entre novela, ensayo y poesía, o una exagerada nota al pie acerca del copiloto como un pequeño dios. Martín Cinzano ha escrito un libro inolvidable, muy divertido, melancólico, vertiginoso e introspectivo: callejero, carretero y carrilero." —Alejandro Zambra

Story
"La idea de salir a recorrer -y a contar- las grandes ciudades sudacas se me ocurrió cuando pensé que quería tratar de entender qué es hoy América Latina. Hace mucho que no lo intentamos y, en general, solemos conservar esa imagen rural, ecololó de una región que es, ahora mismo, la más urbana del mundo. Cuatro de cada cinco latinoamericanos viven en ciudades, pero no son ciudades como las que uno imagina cuando piensa en Barcelona o en París. Para saber cómo son -cómo es Latinoamérica- decidí volver a hacer eso que siempre me ha gustado hacer: ir, mirar, escuchar, pensar, contarlo." — Martín Caparrós

Story
Tomando como punto de partida algunos recuerdos de su madre, que en la pantalla de un escáner cerebral "evocan un paisaje astral", Nona Fernández construye lo que ella misma ha llamado una "constelación de materiales". Lo hace a través de la memoria personal, familiar y colectiva, la memoria de un país, y también echando mano del documento, de aquello que consigue iluminar el olvido. Acaso del mismo modo en que, al cabo de tantos años, nos alcanza la luz de las estrellas. Como a menudo ocurre con la justicia.

A contrapelo

Story
Resulta fascinante que un cuerpo sin pelo, fruto de un artefacto social como la depilación, se considere muestra de feminidad innata. Lo lógico sería que el vello corporal, que separa a la niña de la mujer, se considerase intrínsecamente femenino, incluso sexi. Sin embargo, ocurre todo lo contrario, infantilizamos a las mujeres al tiempo que sexualizamos a las niñas. La mayoría de las mujeres que se depilan afirman hacerlo porque quieren, porque se sienten más atractivas o por motivos de higiene. No depilarse o mostrar públicamente que no lo hacen suele ser, más bien, una decisión política.

Story
¿Quién no ha sentido, al menos una vez en la vida, el deseo de alejarse del mundo? ¿Quién no ha soñado con dejarlo todo y desaparecer? La tentación de la huida, el motivo de la fuga mundi, es recurrente en nuestra cultura porque permanece vivo a lo largo de la historia, y siempre provoca una mezcla de fascinación, nostalgia y callado remordimiento. Para seguir su rastro, de la huida al desierto predicada en el siglo IV por el eremitismo cristiano al exaltado elogio de la evasión entonado por los hippies de la década de 1960, el sociólogo Rémy Oudghiri se ha deshecho de las herramientas habituales de su oficio.
