With the wit, elegance, and depth of insight that has long characterized his work, Talese’s New York reporting showcases a master of the form at his finest.

Voilà justement pourquoi j’écris ce livre : pour briser la conspiration du silence. À l’égard des personnes âgées, la société est non seulement coupable, mais criminelle. Abritée derrière les mythes de l’expansion et de l’abondance, elle traite les vieillards en parias.

Una celebración de la vida a través de sabores y recuerdos Experiencias cotidianas que se trasforman en historias memorables; rutinas familiares que, con el tiempo, se convierten en recuerdos atesorados; viajes que marcan el curso de una vida. Benito Taibo explora la profunda conexión que existe entre su historia personal y la comida: desde los miedos de su infancia, las celebraciones en la mesa con los amigos, los libros y las películas que lo han acompañado, hasta los sabores que evocan en él a las personas que ha amado y ya no lo acompañan.

Las indómitas rinde tributo al rostro anónimo de las mujeres que lucharon en la Revolución, a la inconfundible Jesusa Palancares y al silencio de las mujeres del servicio. Madres, activistas, revolucionarias, artistas y trabajadoras incansables; desde sus trincheras, han luchado por trastocar el orden patriarcal, pero también han sido el motor que le ha dado un nuevo giro a la historia y cuyo brillante ejemplo es el faro que nos guía hacia al futuro.

Story
Virginia Woolf nos revela en esta obra, básicamente, la evolución de su pensamiento feminista en relación con la literatura. El libro empieza planteándonos una pregunta: ¿Qué necesitan las mujeres para escribir buenas novelas? La respuesta la irá plasmando y argumentando a través de la exposición de situaciones diferentes, en ocasiones inventadas o supuestas, donde predominarán las mujeres. La conclusión final es que para que las mujeres escriban buenas novelas necesitan independencia económica y personal, es decir, una habitación propia.

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.

Yet,s Mr. Whitlatch—a golfer of reputation—goes so far as to set down as an axiom "The. more brains, the more strokes," and to work out from this rather startling premise a system that enables him to play the Oakland course with a gross score of 72. For the benefit of the readers of "Dress & Vanity Fair," we have asked Mr. Whitlatch to prepare a series of articles developing his theory to its logical and practical conclusion.
