Story
Tarile si natiunile sunt diferite. Asemanatoare si diferite. România intra si ea, fireste, în acest joc al asemanarilor si deosebirilor. Nu cumva este totusi si mai diferita? Cu alte cuvinte, nu se situeaza oare mai "excentric", sub tot felul de aspecte, în raport cu ceea ce ar fi o medie sau o relativa normalitate europeana? Modul extravagant în care s-a derulat psihodrama politica din vara anului 2012 a lasat impresia ca tara e defecta.

"S-a scris mult și bine despre strălucitoarea îmbinare genetică din ființa Reginei Maria. Atunci când gustul rusesc pentru fast, ceremonial și spații infinite se unește cu infailibilul fler imperial britanic, cultul victoriei și al onoarei, e limpede că rezultatul va fi unul invincibil și spectaculos."

Story
"Ne mândrim în asemenea masura cu Eminescu, încât aproape ca nu mai simtim nevoia sa-l citim. Ni se pare ca îl cunoaștem. Nu e el ilustrarea suprema a virtutilor nationale? Nu e el justificarea noastra în absolut? Numai ca, redus la efigie, la poza de manual, poetul risca sa fie uitat. Eminescu nu înseamna doar Luceafarul, Scrisoarea a III-a, Somnoroase pasarele sau Pe lînga plopii fara soș. E mult mai mult si e altfeldecât l-am fixat în memoria noastra. E grav, dar se si joaca, e trist, dar poate fi si binedispus, e solemn si profetic, dar poate sa fie si ironic sau plictisit. Asta am încercat sa arat prin versurile pe care am ales sa le citesc pentru dumneavoastra." (Andrei PLESU)

Story
Paris, Cartierul Latin, într-una din mansardele pamântului: istoria otravita a sfîrsitului nostru de mileniu s-a petrecut în afara acestui spatiu nespus de modest, dar abia aici, sub acoperisul de pe strada Odéon 21, s-a nascut opera care avea sa devina constiinta nefericirii noastre. Autorul ei, un Nietzsche contemporan trecut pe la scoala moralistilor francezi, a fost pe rând considerat nihilistul veacului, the king of pessimists, scepticul de serviciu al unei lumi în declin.

Story
Ce inseamna, de fapt, "Comedii la portile Orientului"? Inseamna mai multe: umor tonic, haz vehement, ochi critic fixat asupra subrezeniilor indigene, verva cotropitoare, limbaj luxuriant si un farmec al rostirii care nu se obtine din dictionare si compendii. Aveti de-a face, asadar, cu un audiobook de gala. Rostul lui e sa ne binedispuna si sa ne reconecteze la literatura pura. Caci dincolo de eventuala lor miza pedagogic-moralizatoare, Comediile asta sunt: bucati sau mai degraba bucate literare, din care nu lipseste nici o mirodenie si care alcatuiesc un ospat de neuitat.

"Textul lui Mateiu Caragiale e scris pentru acele momente din viata fiecarui om, în care trecutul e mai important decât actualitatea, voluptatea mai importanta decât adevarul, miresmele închipuite sau visate - mai importante decât realul. E o apoteoza a placerii, cu extazele si abisurile ei pline de primejdii.Am citit acest text pentru a ma bucura, crepuscular, de farmecul irezistibil al lucrurilor care nu exista." Andrei Plesu

Story
Nu se poate sa nu te întrebi, din cînd în cînd, cum se face ca cei virtuosi au necazuri, în vreme ce pacatosii o duc bine. si, în definitiv, cum se împaca portretul unui Dumnezeu bun, iubitor, milostiv, cu existenta ubicua a raului în lume. Acestea sunt întrebarile Cartii lui Iov. Ea nu vine cu raspunsuri ultime. Dar îsi arata ca, punîndu-si asemenea întrebari, esti într-o buna si veche companie. Si ca, pîna sa ai un raspuns, te poti bucura de o capodopera a poeziei vechi-testamentare.

Story
Ecolul 19 este o alta planeta. Iti trebuie un anume spirit de aventura ca sa te intorci acolo, asumandu-ti riscul de a trai, zi de zi, exact ca oamenii vremii, de a te obisnui cu felul lor energic de a fi, cu regulile lor de conversatie, cu numeroasele lor obiecte de imbracaminte obligatoriu de purtat in acelasi timp pe unul si-acelasi trup, cu caii si cu servitorii lor, cu inima lor moale si cu taria lor de caracter, cu oala lor de noapte si cu balurile lor, cu teribilele lor pistoale si cu neajutorarea ingrozitoare in fata bolii, cu miasmele, cu parfumurile si cu sarurile lor, cu puricii si plosnitele dezgustatoare din hanurile lor, cu privatele din curte, cu scrisorile lor enorme si cu felul atat de direct in care ti se adreseaza chiar tie, cititorule, in romanele lor. Dar riscul cel mare este sa te deprinzi cu increderea lor absoluta intr-un viitor care tie, celui venit de acolo, din viitorul in care credeau ei atat de frumos, iti strange inima. Daca ajungi sa crezi si tu in el, ca ei, reintoarcerea acasa ar putea fi plina de dezamagiri si regrete.

S-ar putea ca trecerea noastră pe pământ să capete altă forţă când, în strădania naturală spre fericire, suntem puși în situaţia de a compune un destin nu cu bunăstarea, răsfăţul și trufia marilor popoare, ci cu suferinţa celor insignifiante."

Story
Razvan Vasilescu citind povestirile lui Cehov, sensibile si pline de umor, despre oameni simpli si intamplarile lor complicate, pare ca vine chiar din secolul XIX. Si nu vine singur, aduce cu sine un arhivar devenit celebru cu ocazia unui accident provocat de betie, o guvernanta mototoala care este supusa unui test cinic, un functionar care, impins de aburii betiei, ii cere socoteala fostului sau sef, un batran demn si important nevoit sa solicite ajutor pentru nepotul sau neispravit, un functionar sfrijit care se ploconeste in fata fostului sau coleg, ajuns om mare, o actrita ingenua care asteapta declaratia unui comic sacait insa de lipsa unui pahar de vodca, un contraamiral care este invitat la o nunta doar datorita rangului sau, un croitor care traieste din hazul amintirilor, acceptandu-si resemnat umilinta de dragul lor, un raufacator inocent care nu intelege ce fatalitate l-a adus in sala de judecata.

"Încercat-am sa înteleg de unde vin lacrimile si m-am oprit la sfinti. Sa fie ei responsabili de stralucirea lor amara? Cine ar sti? Se pare însa ca lacrimile sunt urmele lor; dar fara ei nu stiam ca plângem din regretul paradisului. As vrea sa vad o singura lacrima înghitita de pamânt... Toate apuca, pe cai necunoscute noua, în sus. Numai durerea precede lacrimile. Sfintii n-au facut altceva decât sa le reabiliteze." (Emil CIORAN)

In 1992, the deadliest year in Chicago’s history, seven-year-old Dantrell Davis was shot and killed in front of his elementary school inside the public housing complex Cabrini-Green. What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities. Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families.

Story
Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

Story
Widely hailed as a spiritual classic, this inspirational and unfailingly powerful story reveals the life and visions of the Lakota healer Nicholas Black Elk (1863–1950) and the tragic history of his Sioux people during the epic closing decades of the Old West. In 1930, the aging Black Elk met a kindred spirit, the famed poet, writer, and critic John G. Neihardt (1881–1973) on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.
