  1. De weemoed van de reiziger
    1. Jan Brokken

    De weemoed van de reiziger

    14 plekken, 14 verhalen

    Jan Brokken verstaat de kunst van het reizen. In zijn imposante oeuvre staan een nieuwsgierigheid naar menselijke verhalen en onverwachte ontmoetingen centraal. Zijn liefde voor kunst is minstens zo groot en fundamenteel. In "De weemoed van de reiziger" komen beide liefdes samen. In veertien verhalen over kunstenaars en de reizen die ze maken, of dat nu een fysieke reis is of een reis door de verbeelding, komt weemoed voorbij maar ook levenslust, dromen, de drang naar avontuur, bezinning, grote liefdes en gebroken harten, verwondering, heimwee en de wijsheid die met de jaren komt. "De weemoed van de reiziger" is een boek dat raakt aan onze menselijke essentie: als geen ander maakt Brokken duidelijk dat reizen en kunst ons in beweging zetten, ons doen denken en voelen.

    1. Oscar , Wilde

    A Poet Can Survive Everything But a Misprint

    "All art," Oscar Wilde once announced, "is quite useless." Selected here are some of his finest prose works on the subject of art - useless, illuminating, artificial, uplifting, radical, gorgeous, boring, sublime - and his most brilliant aphorisms on the creative life. Whether lamenting the crass urge to hold art to realist or natural standards or arguing against morality as a guiding principle, Wilde defends the artist while delighting the audience.

  8. Het drama van de tragedie
    1. Tom Lanoye

    Het drama van de tragedie

    Homeruslezing

    De tragedie ligt aan de basis van de westerse literatuur. Ze is ontstaan in Griekenland, in dezelfde periode als de filosofie en de democratie. Volgens Tom Lanoye is dat geen toeval. Voor hem gaat theater over dilemma’s. Over verscheurdheid en onoplosbare levensvragen belichaamd door personages die tegelijk denken en voelen. Die eerst twijfelen maar uiteindelijk meedogenloos toeslaan – of trots ten onder gaan. Hoe denkt de ander? Waarom denkt hij zo? En wat gebeurt er als je anderen dwingt hun waarden te verruilen voor die van jou? Dat is de kern van elke tragedie. Die tweestrijd bestaat al duizenden jaren, juist omdat hij zo herkenbaar menselijk is. Tegelijk politiek, emotioneel, principieel en persoonlijk. De laatste jaren lijkt de tragedie minder prominent. Documentair theater heeft de overhand, naast mengvormen van genres en technieken. Dat levert spannende voorstellingen op, maar steeds minder drama. Steeds minder tragedies. Waar is het dilemma gebleven? Waar zijn de botsende standpunten op de bühne? En zegt die verdwijning iets over de stand van ons denken en onze democratie?

  10. Meditations
    1. Marcus , Aurelius

    Meditations

Whether on a well-curated shelf or in your back pocket, these timeless works of philosophical, political, and psychological thought are absolute must-haves for book collectors as well as design enthusiasts.Written in Greek by an intellectual Roman emperor without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a wide range of fascinating spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the leader struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Spanning from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation, they cover such diverse topics as the question of virtue, human rationality, the nature of the gods and the values of leadership. But while the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation, in developing his beliefs Marcus also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a series of wise and practical aphorisms that have been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and ordinary readers for almost two thousand years.To provide a full understanding of Aurelius's seminal work, this edition includes explanatory notes, a general index, an index of quotations, an index of names, and an introduction by Diskin Clay putting the work in its biographical, historical, and literary context, a chronology of Marcus Aurelius's life and career.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

  11. Autobiography of Red
    1. Anne , Carson

    Autobiography of Red

    This is a volcanic journey into the soul of a winged red monster named Geryon. It is queer coming-of-age love story, a Greek myth retold, and a modern classic.Tormented as a boy by his brother, Geryon escapes to a parallel world of photography. He falls deeply in love with Herakles, a golden young man, who deserts him at the peak of infatuation. So Geryon retreats ever further into the world created by his camera, fascinated by his wings, his redness and the fantastic accident of who he is. But all is suddenly and irrevocably shattered by Herakles' return.Autobiography of Red is a deceptively simple narrative filled with currents of meaning, emotion, and the truth about what it's like to be red. An extraordinary, modern epic poem - moving, disturbing and delightful.'Totally engrossing' Ocean Vuong'This book is amazing - I haven't discovered any writing in years that's so marvellously disturbing' Alice Munro'A profound love story...sensuous and funny, poignant, musical and tender' Ruth Padel, New York Times Book Review
