UNA REFLEXIÓN INSPIRADORA SOBRE EL SENTIDO PROFUNDO DE LA FELICIDAD QUE NOS ENSEÑA LO IMPORTANTE DE PERDERSE PARA REENCONTRARSE. Si alguien te preguntara hoy si estás satisfecho con tu vida, ¿qué responderías? A veces, en la vida, lo que parece ser un inesperado imprevisto puede convertirse en el atajo a la felicidad. Esto es lo que le sucede a John, el protagonista de este libro, un hombre que siempre tiene prisa pero que un día, debido al tráfico, se ve obligado a reducir la velocidad y tomar un camino secundario, real y metafórico, ajeno a lo que está a punto de encontrar: una cafetería misteriosa en medio de la nada que va a cambiarlo para siempre. Sí, porque el café del fin del mundo ¡está dentro de nosotros, es el lugar donde todas nuestras preguntas encuentran respuesta, en el que nuestros deseos se muestran nítidos y accesibles, y donde finalmente encontramos la valentía para cambiar. Un libro para tener siempre sobre la mesita de noche, para leer y releer, ¡para nunca olvidar que el único camino hacia la felicidad se encuentra en nuestro interior. «John Strelecky tiene el poder de cambiar el mundo.»USA Today

Wurde der Begriff der "Ballade" früher nur in der Literatur und der Vokalmusik verwendet, so führte ihn Chopin 1836 - mit der Veröffentlichung seiner Ballade op. 23 - im Bereich der Klaviermusik neu ein. Tatsächlich zeigen alle vier Balladen Chopins den Charakter einer dramatischen Erzählung: Der musikalische Faden spinnt sich vom Anfang zum Ende in wachsender Spannung und steigert sich am Schluss zu einem gewaltigen Höhepunkt. Nach den "Préludes" haben wir nun auch diese Ausgabe gründlich auf den Prüfstand gestellt und entsprechend der aktuellen Chopin-Forschung revidiert. Die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse sind im gedruckten kritischen Apparat zusammengefasst.

"The thesis of I Took The Only Path To See You is that you can achieve success in any field you choose, but pursuing financial or professional success at the expense of your family or personal relationships is ultimately empty and hollow. Healthy families and good friendships pay sustained rewards that can never be measured in dollars. In the book, Fisher shares his experiences with friends who have risen to become number one in their fields, such as 49er Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott and billionaire Zoom CEO Eric Yuan. Despite the tremendous effort needed to achieve their outward success, neither Ronnie Lot nor Eric Yuan ever lost sight of the importance of being a good person. While not everyone may make it to the top of their chosen field, everyone can always work toward becoming a better person--for themselves, their families and friends, and the world at large. This personal growth is the key to real personal achievement and happiness as well as laying the foundation for stronger relationships between family members, friends, and even other races and nationalities."-- Learn how to achieve the highest levels of success without sacrificing who you are In I Took the Only Path to See You, author and CEO Jon Fisher delivers an inspiring message that reminds readers that professional success does NOT have to come at the expense of personal happiness.

A wonderful new selection of Henry James's short stories exploring the relationship between art and life, edited by Michael Gorra. This volume gathers seven of the very best of Henry James's short stories, all focussing the relationship between art and life. In 'The Aspern Papers', a critic is determined to get his hands on a great poet's papers hidden in a faded Venetian house - not matter what the human cost. 'The Author of Beltraffio', 'The Lesson of the Master' and 'The Figure in the Carpet' all focus on naive young men's unsettling encounters with their literary heroes. In 'The Middle Years', a dying novelist begins to glimpse his own potential, while 'The Real Thing' and 'Greville Fane' both explore the tension between artistic and commercial success. These fables of the creative life reveal James at his ironic, provocative best. Henry James was born in 1843 in New York and died in London in 1916. In addition to many short stories, plays, books of criticism, autobiography and travel, he wrote some twenty novels, the first published being Roderick Hudson (1875). They include The Europeans, Washington Square, The Portrait of a Lady, The Bostonians, The Princess Casamassima, The Tragic Muse, The Spoils of Poynton, The Awkward Age, The Wings of the Dove, The Ambassadors and The Golden Bowl. Michael Gorra is Professor of English at Smith College and the author of Portrait of a Novel: Henry James and the Making of an American Masterpiece (2012), a finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in biography.

*WINNER OF THE WOLFSON HISTORY PRIZE 2023* *A NEW YORKER BOOK OF THE YEAR* 'The best book about the subject I have ever read' Max Hastings, Sunday Times A sweeping history of occupation and resistance in war-torn Europe, from the acclaimed author of The Eagle Unbowed Across the whole of Nazi-ruled Europe the experience of occupation was sharply varied. Some countries - such as Denmark - were within tight limits allowed to run themselves. Others - such as France - were constrained not only by military occupation but by open collaboration. In a historical moment when Nazi victory seemed permanent and irreversible, the question 'why resist?' was therefore augmented by 'who was the enemy?'. Resistance is an extraordinarily powerful, humane and haunting account of how and why all across Nazi-occupied Europe some people decided to resist the Third Reich. This could range from open partisan warfare in the occupied Soviet Union to dangerous acts of defiance in the Netherlands or Norway. Some of these resistance movements were entirely home-grown, others supported by the Allies. Like no other book, Resistance shows the reader just how difficult such actions were. How could small bands of individuals undertake tasks which could lead not just to their own deaths but those of their families and their entire communities? Filled with powerful and often little-known stories, Halik Kochanski's major new book is a fascinating examination of the convoluted challenges faced by those prepared to resist the Germans, ordinary people who carried out exceptional acts of defiance and resistance. 'A superb, myth-busting survey of the many ways in which the subjugated peoples of Europe tried to fight back' Saul David, Daily Telegraph Autorid: Halik Kochanski

In a series of moving snapshots, Véronique Tadjo illustrates the terrible extent of the Ebola epidemic: the doctor who tirelessly treats patients day after day in a sweltering tent, protected from the virus only by a plastic suit; the student who volunteers to work as a gravedigger while universities are closed, helping the teams overwhelmed by the sheer number of bodies; the grandmother who agrees to take in an orphaned young boy cast out of his village for fear of infection. And watching over them all is the ancient and wise Baobab tree, mourning the dire state of the earth yet providing a sense of hope for the future. Acutely relevant to our times in light of the coronavirus pandemic, In the Company of Men explores critical questions about how we cope with a global crisis and how we can combat fear and prejudice.

• New monograph on Sigurd Bronger's work• Jewelry that changes the view on the 'world of things'• Accompanying an exhibition at Die Neue Sammlung - The Design Museum in Munich, GermanyHollow goose eggs, natural sponges, packaging, balloons featuring smileys, shoe soles, scientific gauges, or even his mother’s gallstones — the repertoire of things elevated to jewelry objects knows no bounds for the Norwegian artist Sigurd Bronger. His “portable objects” are turned into wearables by means of artful hanging mechanisms. For Bronger, jewelry is a means of communication. The questions he poses with his works relate to function and use, decoration, aesthetic, and beauty, and his works invite us to see things anew: does the beautiful really have to be useless and the practical aesthetically uninteresting? Through the witty yet subtle cosmos of this extraordinary artist, our own “world of things” is becoming a good deal greater. Text in English and German. Autorid: Die Neue Sammlung The Design Museum

Warwick Freeman, influential jewellery artist, merges New Zealand’s history, unique materials, and Maori, Polynesian, and European symbols, creating culturally resonant designs that bridge traditions. Text in English and German.Warwick Freeman (b. 1953) is regarded as one of the world’s most influential contemporary jewellery artists. His works tell of his life, culture, and history, as well as the history of Aotearoa New Zealand and the country’s unique materials from millimetre thick mother-of-pearl from the pearl shell to the iridescent inner membrane of the paua (a rainbow abalone). In the 1980s Freeman co-revolutionized the world of New Zealand jewelry, which led to the creation of a unique artistic language. Initially influenced by western jewelry traditions, and later impacted by a growing awareness of Maori and Pacific adornment practices, Freeman has built a language of emblematic forms across five decades. Through jewelry making he discovers symbols that connect us – from Hook to Hand to Heart to Star. Autorid: Die Neue Sammlung The Design Museum, Objectspace
