Against the World

Brandt, Jan
Against the World
Against the World is a great German novel, a sweeping story of how history changes a village, how pop culture changes the provinces, how friendship changes individuals. East Friesia in the mid-1970s. Cows graze in the meadows and low-flying combat planes rend the bucolic silence. The hedges on the estate are neatly trimmed, the new cars freshly polished on the driveways. This is the world into which Daniel Kuper, the son of a dynasty of druggi...

Things That Happen

Chakrabarti, Bhaskar / Sinha, Arunava
Things That Happen
Bhaskar Chakrabarti's poetry is synonymous with the romantic melancholia inherent to Calcutta.

Spanning the rise of militant leftism, the spread of crippling poverty across India, the war in Bangladesh, the influx of millions of refugees, the dark, dictatorial days of Indira Gandhi's reign, and ...

"A Very Fine Gift" and Other Writings on Theory

Barthes, Roland / Turner, Chris
"A Very Fine Gift" and Other Writings on Theory
Roland Barthes, whose centenary falls in 2015, was a restless, protean thinker. A constant innovator, often as a daring smuggler of ideas from one discipline to another, he first gained an audience with his pithy, semiological essays on mass culture, then unsettled the literary critical establishment with heretical writings on the French classics, before going on to produce some of the most suggestive and stimulating cultural criticism of the ...

A Test of Powers

Fortini, Franco / Toscano, Alberto

Ex-partisan, poet, literary critic and teacher, Fortini had been immersed for more than twenty years in the cut and thrust of ideological debate. In these pages, besides ...

End of Equality

Campbell, Beatrix
End of Equality
Among liberal thinkers, there is an optimistic belief that men and women are on a cultural journey toward equality - in the workplace, on the street, and in the home.
