"Una storia della letteratura", di Bob Kowalski, è un'opera monumentale che ripercorre le tappe della creatività umana, dalle origini primitive alle sfide dell'era digitale. L'autore non si limita alla cronaca degli eventi, ma contestualizza ogni epoca, offrendo una visione profonda dell'evoluzione narrativa e del suo legame indissolubile con le trasformazioni sociali. Il viaggio inizia dalle radici orali — come l'Epopea di Gilgamesh e i Veda — stabilendo il ruolo della parola nella costruzione dell'identità culturale. Kowalski adotta una prospettiva globale, integrando l'analisi ...

At its heart is Rachel Vinrace, a young woman embarking on a sea voyage that becomes a profound exploration of identity, love, and the fragile boundaries between freedom and convention. Through innovative prose and keen psychological insight, Woolf captures both the beauty and unease of the human experience. By turns satirical, poignant and quietly devastating, The Voyage Out is an extraordinary meditation on youth, society and purpose.

Nor for those whose destructive desires will determine her fate, and force Tess to make only the most desperate of choices.

Published as a 'shilling shocker', Robert Louis Stevenson's dark psychological fantasy gave birth to the idea of the split personality. The story of respectable Dr Jekyll's strange association with 'damnable young man' Edward Hyde, the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer, and the final revelation of Hyde's true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil. The other stories in this volume also testify to Stevenson's inventiveness within the Gothic genre.

In The Canterbury Tales Chaucer created one of the great touchstones of English literature, a masterly collection of chivalric romances, moral allegories and low farce. A story-telling competition between a group of pilgrims from all walks of life is the occasion for a series of tales that range from the Knight's account of courtly love and the ebullient Wife of Bath's Arthurian legend, to the ribald anecdotes of the Miller and the Cook.

Em agosto de 2016, quando o Congresso afastou definitivamente a presidente Dilma Rousseff, o desemprego abatia mais de 12 milhões de brasileiros.

Inspirada no hit do funk carioca Cai de boca, a autora analisa e demonstra como um dos movimentos culturais mais importantes do Brasil também é um potencializador da liberdade, da autonomia e do empoderamento da mulher.
