Titoli in Saggi

Drawing on more than 30 years of therapeutic encounters with people facing hurdles in their love lives, former chair of the British Psychoanalytic Council Susanna Abse takes us deep inside one of the most fascinating realms there is: other people's relationships. From dealing with infidelity to navigating our changing role within a single relationship over the course of a lifetime, Tell Me the Truth About Love sheds vivid light on the human heart and its struggle to both embrace life's greatest gift and protect itself from pain. 

En Los héroes numerados, el futbol se convierte en un jue­go de las palabras gracias al ingenio de Juan Villoro, «un excepcional intérprete y narrador de las realidades socia­les, culturales y políticas de México, América Latina y el mundo», jurado del Premio Gabo 2022. El 10 de Pelé...

«En sentido literal, Villoro es un periodista y profesor de li­teratura mexicano. Pero cuando escribe de futbol esos títu­los son insuficientes. Al abordar "el juego hermoso", el autor es un poeta y un crítico, un filósofo y un historiador, un ob­servador atento y un fan entregado»...

Aus ihren Erfahrungen dort ist eine autobiografische Erzählung entstanden: ergreifend, einnehmend und von großer poetischer Kraft. Gedichtzitate, wissenschaftliche Fragen und Beobachtungen am Gehege fließen ineinander und verbinden sich mit zutiefst persönlichen Momenten.

Frauen im Internet stehen unter ständiger Beobachtung. Sophie Passmann ist selbst Teil der widersprüchlichen Welt weiblicher Selbstdarstellung in den sozialen Medien. Radikal selbstkritisch seziert sie die Phänomene, die eine ganze Generation prägen: von der asketischen Disziplin einer Hailey Bieber über die kalkulierte Görenhaftigkeit von Charli XCX bis zur neurotischen Perfektion von Taylor Swift. Warum sind wir alle so fasziniert von Frauen, die uns etwas vormachen – und gleichzeitig hassen wir sie genau dafür?
