María, de Jorge Isaacs, é uma das obras mais emblemáticas do romantismo latino-americano. Publicado em 1867, o romance tornou-se um marco da literatura do século XIX por sua prosa lírica, seu profundo senso de melancolia e pela maneira como entrelaça amor, memoria e natureza. Ambientado no exuberante Vale do Cauca, na Colombia, o livro encanta geraçes de leitores com sua delicadeza emocional e riqueza descritiva. Mais do que uma historia de amor, Maria e um retrato da juventude idealizada, dos laços familiares e do tempo que transforma todas as coisas. Sua importancia na tradiço literaria hispano-americana o coloca ao lado dos grandes classicos universais.

My breath hitched. This wasnt a series of disconnected encounters. This was a consortium. A collective."Each of us has worked with you," Julian continued, gesturing to the others. "The doctor diagnosed your condition. The librarian settled your debts. The chef found your flavor. The fireman... well, he just needed to bleed the line." He smiled, a thin, cruel thing. "But our individual... tutorials... were merely preliminary sketches. Today, we begin the final piece. The magnum opus."Chef Laurent stepped forward, his knife-like gaze stripping me bare. "Youve learned individual tastes, but you have yet to appreciate the full menu. The complexity of a dish is not in one ingredient, but in how they all come together."The firefighter grunted in agreement. "Pressure isnt just about one burst. Its about the cumulative force. The total system load."Julian walked around me, his appraising gaze like a physical touch. "We are going to create you. We are going to paint you, sculpt you, write our story on your body. You are no longer the muse. You are the medium. And you will be... cooperative."He stopped in front of me, so close I could feel the heat from his body.

In the realm of hard sciences, time is seen as moving forward towards the future, providing a framework for navigating the entropy and disorder of systems.Time is seen subjectively in the humanities, as Bergson describes it in terms of recursive cycles exposed via sentient experience. From both angles, humanity is inevitably susceptible to time; either they die from entropic dispersion or depersonalizing repetition.Much like science, myth reminds us that time ultimately devours life. But it also points to a possible escape: though Cronus eats his offspring, except for the youngest one, Zeus, who is saved by a stratagem "devised" by his mother Rhea that is, replacing the baby with a stone. The image of the father suppressing the next generation is then replaced by the myth of the future emerging from the past, when all children are regurgitated by means of another of Zeus tricks. Thus, the myth implies that intellect (the trick) and intellectual works (the stones) can transcend time: if human beings cannot endure their extreme transience, they can endure the lesser transience of their "constructions" in time. Born to last either physically or as collective memory, the very essence of architecture engages in a (titanic) survival endeavour. Yet, in an era anchored to the myths of perennial youth, shall we also allow the right to be forgotten?

Storm is increasingly the default setting for our lives. It is as if the next environmental, medical, social or political calamity is mere moments away. Of course, Storm is the dramatic expression of natures wild side, yet it is also the defining characteristic of our age. We are constantly reminded that the precious ecosystems of our fragile planet are under threat as never before. At the same time our social and political systems are fracturing - in the famously prophetic words of W.B. Yeats the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. Against all of this there are ripples of discontent that could still turn into a storm powerful enough to provoke the kinds of change necessary to save us all.The Prix Pictet is the worlds leading award for photography and sustainability. It was founded in 2008 by the Pictet Group with the goal of harnessing the power of photography to draw global attention to critical environmental issues. To date, there have been eleven cycles of the award, each with its own theme highlighting a particular facet of sustainability. For each cycle, a book is published showcasing the work of the shortlisted photographers as well as powerful images produced by a selection of the other nominated photographers.

Words from the Hedge is a passionate evocation of the history, beauty and importance of our hedgerows by a craftsman who has been laying hedges for almost three decades and has the scars to prove it. Hedges are as old as civilisation and as emblematic of the British countryside as chalk streams, hay meadows and oak trees. But unlike woodland and rivers, farmland hedges remain on the periphery of the public consciousness, often going unnoticed and almost always underappreciated. Wielding his pen as deftly he does a billhook, professional hedgelayer Richard Negus takes us on a journey that reveals these ribbons of thorn and barb are so much more than mere decoration or boundary markers. They are essential for much-needed wildlife recovery. If we dont get our hedges right, there is little hope for species like the almost-extinct turtledove.And yet, no hedge is truly wild; each one is a testament to generations of human skill and labour, requiring ongoing maintenance to survive and thrive. But there is a problem: we need more hedgelayers, and this is something Negus is trying to solve.Introducing a lively band of fellow countrymen and countrywomen along the way, Negus explores everything from the practical complexities of modern farming and land ownership to the challenges faced by conservationists. Written with vigour and humour, as well as rare insight and honesty, Words from the Hedge is a timely exploration of how we can use hedges to make the British countryside a place where nature has a home.

Il successo globale di Bridgerton ha alimentato un paragone tanto diffuso quanto fuorviante: quello tra Jane Austen e Julia Quinn, autrice dei romanzi da cui la serie Netflix e tratta. Ma se le pagine della Quinn dipingono unepoca Regency patinata, dominata da passioni immediate e dalle convenzioni del romance storico, lopera di Austen scava nella complessita del suo tempo e dei sentimenti, intrecciando le trame amorose alla crescita morale e allacquisizione di competenza sociale. Questo saggio mostra come laccostamento tra le due autrici sia non solo improprio, ma riduttivo, e restituisce ad Austen il posto che le spetta: quello di scrittrice appartenente alla tradizione del grande romanzo europeo, capace di parlare ancora, con sorprendente vitalita, al nostro presente.
