Kundera M: 89 Words followed by Prague,
A Disappearing Poem

89 Words followed by Prague, A Disappearing Poem

'There aren't many chroniclers of our older years who do it so well, with such wit and realism and intelligence' TESSA HADLEY 'I have learned so much from Margaret Drabble's work' SALLY ROONEY 'Wise, elegiac' The Times 'One of Britain's most dazzling writers' New York Times 'Generous, perceptive and good-humoured' JOAN BAKEWELL 'One of the most thought-provoking and intellectually challenging writers around' Financial Times We all age differently, some stoically, some angrily, some calmly, some with an unfailing spirit of adventure and an undimmed curiosity From one of our finest literary voices, The Great Good Places is a luminous collection of essays, stories and memoir that traverses the experience of growing older and looking back on a life deeply lived. Drawing on decades of reading, writing and observation, Margaret Drabble reflects on the complex business of ageing, the strange workings of memory - its wonders and its fragility - and on the 'great good places', the childhood homes, coastal sanctuaries and cherished libraries that shape who we are. Rich with a lifetime's worth of insight and wisdom and peppered with Drabble's trademark lucidity and wit, The Great Good Places is an elegantly layered and profoundly moving meditation on time, place and the enduring power of recollection.

As media landscapes shift, new questions arise over what constitutes a 'narrative text', from graphic novels to twitter accounts, web series and computer games. Siobhan O'Flynn provides a new theoretical framework in which to discuss and analyse this continually evolving area.

The Routledge History of Love in World Literature and Culture offers a wide-ranging, global rethinking of romantic love. Bringing together scholars from across continents and disciplines, the volume shows how love is imagined, practiced, and contested in different cultural, historical, and political contexts, challenging the idea that love follows a single, universal script.The collection examines representations of eros across Africa, East Asia, the Middle East, South Asia, Europe, and the Americas, spanning medieval texts to contemporary novels, film, television, visual art, and theatre. Well-known case studies include So Long a Letter, The God of Small Things, The Arabian Nights, The Forty Rules of Love, as well as works by Olive Schreiner, Gabriel García Márquez, Louise Erdrich, and modern Chinese and Japanese fiction. Rather than treating love as timeless or purely personal, contributors show how it is shaped by gender, religion, colonial histories, nationalism, technology, ecology, and changing social norms. The volume explores transgressive, queer, feminist, posthuman, and more-than-human forms of love, revealing love as a powerful force that both sustains and unsettles communities.Designed as an accessible and digestible reference, the essays broaden understanding of the cultural politics of emotions for scholars and students in literary and cultural studies, world literature, gender studies, film studies, posthumanism, and the humanities more broadly. It offers a landmark contribution to the study of emotions and global culture for research and teaching alike.

Very Short Introductions

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Neurodiversity is the idea that human brains function in a variety of ways. By understanding that people take in, process, and respond to information differently, we can appreciate how these profound differences affect the ways in which we experience the world and form relationships with one another. In spite of the central simplicity of this concept, the consequences of fully understanding and exploring neurodiversity can be transformative. This Very Short Introduction looks at how neurodiversity has been understood in a variety of settings including education, research, workplace, health and social care, and criminal justice. Robert Chapman and Sue Fletcher-Watson also draw out interesting connections to models of disability, human rights, anti-capitalism, and intersectionality. Alongside this, they discuss how issues of gender, sexuality, neuroqueering, and decoloniality bear on neurodiversity. The book is an engaging read for students, thinkers, and practitioners interested in neurodiversity and its links to philosophy, psychology, sociology, political theory, medicine, and biology. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

A Very Short Introduction

Neurodiversity

*An Observer Best New Biographies of 2024*?*Now in paperback!*Celebrated NPR music critic Ann Powers explores the life and career of Joni Mitchell in a lyrical style as fascinating and ethereal as the songs of the artist herself.“What you are about to read is not a standard account of the life and work of Joni Mitchell. Instead, it’s a tale of long journeying through a life that changed popular music: of a homesick wanderer forging ahead on routes of her own invention, and of me on her trail, heading toward the ringing of her voice.”—From the introductionFor decades, Joni Mitchell’s life and music have enraptured listeners. One of the most celebrated artists&nbsp;of her generation, Mitchell has inspired countless musicians—from peers like James Taylor, to inheritors like Prince and Brandi Carlile—and authors, who have dissected her music and her life in their writing. At the same time, Mitchell has always been a force beckoning us still closer, as—with the other arm—she pushes us away. Given this, music critic Ann Powers wondered if there was another way to draw insights from the life of this singular musician who never stops moving, never stops experimenting.In&nbsp;Traveling, Powers seeks to understand Mitchell through her myriad journeys. Through extensive interviews with Mitchell's peers and deep archival research, she takes readers to rural Canada, mapping the singer’s childhood battle with polio. She charts the course of Mitchell’s musical evolution, ranging from early folk to jazz fusion to experimentation with pop synthetics. She follows the winding road of Mitchell’s collaborations with other greats, and the loves that emerged along the way, all the way through to the remarkable return of Mitchell to music-making after&nbsp;the 2015 aneurysm that nearly took her life.Along this journey, Powers’ wide-ranging musings on the artist’s life and career reconsider the biographer’s role and the way it twines against the reality of a fan. In doing so, Traveling illustrates the shifting nature of biography, and the ultimate contradiction of celebrity: that an icon cannot truly, completely be known to a fan.Kaleidoscopic in scope, and intimate in its detail, Traveling is a fresh and fascinating addition to the Joni Mitchell canon, written by a biographer in full command of her gifts who asks as much of herself as of her subject.&nbsp;

The Meaning of Life

Žižek's Essays

With an apparently contradictory and characteristically makeshift term, 'Liberal Fascisms', Slavoj Zizek captures the paradoxical nature of political populism. To see this phenomenon as purely liberal and dictatorially fascistic is to expose liberalism and fascism as two sides of the same coin. The concept offers a glimpse into the murky landscape of half-lies and double-truths that Zizek enters in this latest collection of urgent essays. From the economy and politics to ideology, these short texts work through the different faces of liberal fascism, structured around a trio of the universal, the particular, and the single: our global predicament; Europe and the Middle East; Trump's America. Peeling back the inadequate labels we hasten to pin on the phenomena that terrify us - like 'post-truth'- to peer at the seeping wounds beneath them, these writings reveal the uneasy mixture of lies and truths that have always been stacked, matryoshka like, inside of one another. With no cure in hand, but a refusal to dispense with thought that is muddled and murky, the essays are timely and resolute. From the so-called "death of truth" opens up the possibility for a new authentic truth. or for an even worse big Lie. And we must ask - what forms of justice are made possible by this disorder? Liberal Fascisms is also available in audiobook format from audiobook retailers.

Die Fähigkeit, glücklich zu werden, ist zur Hälfte vererbt. Nele Pollatschek schreibt für alle, die das Glück nicht einfach in den Genen haben.&nbsp;Manche Menschen sind von Natur aus gut drauf. Nele Pollatschek gehört nicht dazu. Trotzdem stellt sie eines Tages überrascht fest, dass sie ungewöhnlich glücklich ist. In Begegnungen mit Wissenschaftlern und Hinduisten, Psychologen, Philosophen, Schriftstellern und Fussballspielern erzählt sie, wie es soweit kommen konnte. Pollatschek erzählt von Selbstfürsorge und Selbstdisziplin, erklärt, warum Trigger-Warnungen Quatsch sind und Traumata besser als ihr Ruf. Vor allem erzählt sie, wie man glücklich wird, auch wenn man echt nicht dafür gemacht ist.
