Our deepest, most intimate fears and fantasies remain locked away inside of us, until someone comes along with the key. Here’s the key.

Eso es lo que el lector disfrutará con esta compilación de cartas y aforismos en los que la figura de Chéjov aumenta, crece y nos atraviesa porque quizá no haya mejor lectura que internarse en la mente, en las palabras secretas, en la sensibilidad de un genio.

Story
EL ESPERADO REGRESO DE MARUJA TORRES. Vivir para contarlo. Tal vez sea una frase muy manida, pero lo cierto es que resume a la perfección el retorno a las librerías de una de las voces más descaradas de nuestro país. Maruja Torres saca punta a las rutinas de su día a día para conservar los destellos de un mundo que se apaga a través de reflexiones hilarantes sobre vivir más (o menos) y mejor (o como se pueda). Un divertido y afilado ejercicio de adaptación a una vida que justo se empieza a comprender cuando nos acercamos al final de la escalera.

Story
In questo saggio dirompente e suggestivo, l’artista tedesca di origine afghana Moshtari Hilal prosegue in forma scritta – ma anche attraverso disegni e fotografie – la sua indagine sugli aspetti sociali e politici delle categorie estetiche. Secondo Hilal, infatti, la “bruttezza” è un fatto sociale, politico, persino economico, indubbiamente legato alla razzializzazione degli individui. Hilal sostiene che la bruttezza, così come la razza, non sia qualcosa che esista sul piano della realtà, ma piuttosto una categoria politico-economica utile a veicolare l’odio nei confronti di corpi e identità non conformi.

Trente ans après sa disparition, le nom d'Ayrton Senna résonne toujours sur les circuits du monde entier. Comme pour les plus grandes dates de l'histoire récente, beaucoup d'anonymes et bien sûr tous les amateurs de Formule 1 se souviennent où ils étaient et ce qu'ils faisaient le 1er mai 1994 lorsqu'ils ont appris que le champion brésilien venait de se tuer sur le circuit d'Imola.

Story
Es gibt wohl keinen anderen Autoren, der nach wie vor so omnipräsent ist wie Oscar Wilde. Seine Zitate begegnen uns auf Werbeplakaten, verzieren Kaffeetassen, Geschenkartikel, Postkarten, Sofakissen, Bierdeckel und sonstige bedruckbare Gegenstände. Lifestyle-, Mode- und Gesellschaftsmagazine schmücken sich damit und Kneipen, Restaurants, Hotels und Unternehmen verwenden diese als Motto.

Story
Karl Kraus gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Aphoristiker deutscher Sprache. Ob berühmte Schriftsteller oder die Presse - nichts und niemand wurde von der gnadenlosen Kritik seiner Feder verschont. Bekannte Künstler wie Stefan Zweig, Georg Trakl, Thomas Mann und andere zollten ihm Respekt, aber die Zahl seiner Feinde in Kunst und Gesellschaft war enorm. Als Vorleser hinterließ er aufgrund seiner Sprachgewalt und Persönlichkeit angeblich einen äußerst außergewöhnlichen Eindruck.
