Dit is het ultieme ‘feelgood’-boek voor uitgeputte actievoerders en activisten (en ook bezorgde burgers). Een uiterst persoonlijk verslag, een beschouwing over activisme en hoop. Door middel van indrukwekkende essays laat Rebecca Solnit zien hoe enorm sociale, politieke, wetenschappelijke en culturele veranderingen de afgelopen 50 jaar zijn geweest.

The Cost of Living
Living Autobiography 2Deborah Levy is a most generous writer. What is wonderful about this short, sensual, embattled memoir is that it is not only about the painful landmarks in her life - the end of a marriage , the death of a mother - it is about what it is to be alive. I can't think of any other writer aside from Virginia Woolf who writes better about the liminal, the domestic, the non-event, and what it is to be a woman... This is a little book about a big subject. It is about how to find a new way of living

The Edges of the World
At the margins of life, lands and historyIn our heavily centralised and conformist world, we sorely need this passionate, imaginative insight into the vital role of life on the borders, the very fringes of the world. Foster makes it clear that the much-vaunted centre is literally a nowhere, a place of soulless self-congratulation and imaginative death. Literal "eccentricity" is where the scientific, artistic and spiritual giants have always found their home. Venture with Foster if you dare, and embrace life.
