From Enlightenment To Revolution: Pitt, Burke & Robespierre, 1766-1794

History is often concentrated into short bursts of change, with long periods of shifting before and waves of alteration afterwards. Nowhere is this more obvious than the thirty year interregnum between the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. In this period, three figures stand tall; Pitt, the elder stateman who saw the need for genuine constitutionalism; Burke, the consummate parliamentarian, speaking for the glory of empire; and Robespierre, the legendary and controversial frontman of the French Revolution. William Pitt The Elder speaks about the need for key changes to the body politic. The first speech here predates the interregnum, being from 1738, when he was merely thirty, and covers a key factor in Britain’s colonial problems for the next two centuries, being the complete internal corruption of the army. Edmund Burke represents the height of Royalist sympathy as the age of revolution gets underway. He speaks on the need for conciliation with America after the disaster of the Stamp Act and revolution, on the need to punish Warren Hastings for treating his Asian holdings as his own empire to fill with his own corruption, and on the end of an era with the passing of Marie Antoinette. Finally, the age of revolution, both industrial and political, has begun. Robespierre argues for the dignity of man; for rejecting the divinity of royal authority in favour of that of the human spirit; against the death penalty, as being below the dignity of a truly humanist state; on enemies, internal and external, who push the people to reject their own interests for those of the powerful. This is but a small selection of the man’s incredible output - in 1791 alone, he gave three hundred and twenty-eight speeches. Spitting bile and flame in his last speech, which closes this volume, Robespierre truly inaugurates the era when revolution against centuries-old powers brought their end, and their nations found their renewal.

Satori in Paris

A satori, in Kerouac’s own words, is “the Japanese word for ‘sudden illumination,’ ‘sudden awakening,’ or simply ‘kick in the eye.’” This is a story of philosophy, identity, and the powerful grip of travel, written by an iconic American author at the height of his fame, after spending ten days in France searching for his French heritage. Was the satori handed to him by a taxi driver, a waiter, a monsieur with a dazzlingly beautiful secretary, or while feeling fearful in the foggy streets at 3:00 a.m.? Or was it when hearing a requiem by Mozart in an old church, seeing trees in the Tuileries Garden, or while walking on a bridge over the River Seine? The author experienced all that and more, often spending time in seedy bars and caught up in all-night conversations, as revealed in this work that shows the range and versatility of Kerouac’s mature talent. To Jean-Louis Lebris de Kérouac, “my search for this name in France” results in, according to his own words, “the tale that’s told for no other reason but companionship, which is another (and my favorite) definition of literature.”

People Who Lunch: On Work, Leisure, and Loose Living

A riveting investigation of the utopian experiments attempting to resist the unrelenting demands of late-stage capitalism-only to end up living comfortably alongside it What do post‑work politics, the cult of crypto, clubbing, and polyamory have in common? All have spawned thriving subcultures united in their rejection of the patriarchal capitalist order: from wage labor, to the reign of the shareholder class over capital markets, to romantic relationships that feel like contractual arrangements to be negotiated, and more. People Who Lunch is about hating work and needing to work, intimacy and technology, labor and leisure, and the challenge of living our ideals in a less than ideal world. In it, Sally Olds brings her "unsparing scrutiny to bear…as she grapples with the sense of entrapment in the machinery of capitalism and remorseless logic of commodification" (ABC Arts). In one essay, Olds's brief flirtation with post-monogamy forces her to confront the emotional prison of the "open relationship"; in another, a multi-hour viewing of a critically acclaimed performance art piece highlights how even the highest forms of culture exist to convert pleasure into capital. In the end, her forays into these colorful worlds betray a deep irony: escaping a system built on the exchange of wage labor is, quite simply, a lot of work.

Dear Oliver: An Unexpected Friendship with Oliver Sacks

To the world, he was Dr. Sacks, the brilliant neurologist behind bestselling books like Musicophilia and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. To professor Susan Barry, he became Dear Oliver-her mentor, friend, and confidant over the course of their ten-year correspondence. It begins with a letter that Sue almost doesn't send. Sue's unheard-of case history-as a 'stereoblind' patient who acquired 3D vision in adulthood-so fascinates Dr. Sacks that he immediately asks to visit her. As 'Stereo Sue,' she becomes the subject of one of his indelible New Yorker pieces-and, as a fellow neuroscientist, his sounding board for every kind of intellectual inquiry. Their shared passions spark a friendship that buoys both of them through life's crests and falls: as Sue becomes an author, as she supports her father in his decline, and as Oliver becomes a patient himself-battling cancer that robs him of his own vision. Dr. Sacks's letters to Sue offer listeners an unprecedented glimpse of the man himself-from his compassion and insight to his love of the periodic table. Throughout Dear Oliver, we are reminded that true friends help each other see the world a little differently.

The Doors' Fire

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Before 'Light My Fire' ignited the world, The Doors were just a flicker in the Los Angeles twilight. 'The Doors' Fire' plunges you into the pre-fame years of these iconic musicians, tracing their journey from dimly lit jazz clubs to sun-drenched Venice Beach jams. Witness Jim Morrison's raw poetry ignite on smoky stages, Ray Manzarek's keyboards weave hypnotic spells, John Densmore's drums pound out a restless heartbeat, and Robby Krieger's guitar strings whisper secrets of rebellion. Feel the friction as their musical visions clash and coalesce, the electrifying tension as they test the boundaries of rock and roll. But the road to stardom is paved with dusty garage rehearsals, clashing egos, and the intoxicating haze of Sunset Strip. This is a story of chasing dreams in sun-kissed California, of late-night poetry readings in smoky jazz bars, and of first love's flickering flames against the backdrop of a burgeoning counterculture. Witness their struggles and triumphs, their creative clashes and shared epiphanies. See the birth of iconic riffs and the evolution of lyrics that would become etched in rock history. This is not just the story of The Doors; it's a portrait of a band on the precipice of greatness, before they painted the world with the searing light of their fire.

[Spanish] - Cuerpos divinos

Un apasionante libro de memorias noveladas de Guillermo Cabrera Infante, que recrea toda la efervescencia de su juventud en Cuba En estas memorias comenzadas nada más exiliarse de Cuba, Guillermo Cabrera Infante describe con lujo de detalles su juventud en la efervescente isla de fines de los años cincuenta y principios de los sesenta. La Habana, el cine, el sexo, la música y la llegada de la Revolución conviven en un relato de fondo gozoso, aunque teñido por el dolor de la distancia. Proyecto inacabado a la muerte del autor y en cierto modo inacabable, Cuerpos divinos vuelve sobre los temas claves de Cabrera Infante, pero les añade el fervor testimonial de quien aspira a recordarlo todo para impedir que su mundo privado caiga en el olvido. Reseñas: «El libro que le acompañó toda su vida.» Antoni Munné «No cabe duda de que nos hallamos ante el que puede ser el libro decisivo del autor, pese a restar inacabado.» Joaquín Marcos, El Cultural

Twenty-Seven Letters to My Daughter

When death is dancing closer than you'd like, what becomes important? What do you need to tell your child? And how do you want to be remembered? A beautiful, tender, funny and poignant guide on how to really live, from a mother to her daughter. Ella Ward comes from a long line of irrepressibly charming raconteurs, letter-writers, storytellers and people who 'quite like giving toasts at parties'. And so, a few years ago, when Ella was 36 years old, with a husband and a young daughter, and was told that she had a rare cancer and might die, she decided that death wasn't going to stand in the way of her mothering her child. As Ella's treatment for her cancer began, she started drafting letters to her daughter. To tell her about life, love, death, the importance of cotton knickers and - above all - her family. The kind of people who weren't dissuaded by little things like cancer. Or war. Or loss. Or a charging elephant. This is a story of what we inherit, and how we become ourselves. This is the story of a family - a glorious, funny, exotic and gutsy family - but it's really a story about how your attitude to life, can shape your life. A time-travelling memoir from one mother, and the generations that came before her - these are twenty-seven letters about the good, the bad, the magical and the whole damn thing. Jaunty, brave, moving and immensely appealing, this is a gloriously endearing inspirational story in the tradition of Tuesdays with Morrie and The Last Lecture ... although with slightly more dry martinis.

Ella Ward (Author), TBD (Narrator)

Sex with a Brain Injury: On Concussion and Recovery

For readers of Meghan O'Rourke's The Invisible Kingdom, Esme Weijun Wang's The Collected Schizophrenias, and Melissa Febos's Girlhood, a powerful and deeply personal memoir in essays that sheds light on the silent epidemic of head trauma. Annie Liontas suffered multiple concussions in her thirties. In Sex with a Brain Injury, she writes about what it means to be one of the "walking wounded," facing her fear, her rage, her physical suffering, and the effects of head trauma on her marriage and other relationships. Forced to reckon with her own queer mother's battle with addiction, Liontas finds echoes in their pain. Liontas weaves history, philosophy, and personal accounts to interrogate and expand representations of mental health, ability, and disability—particularly in relation to women and the LGBT community. She uncovers the surprising legacy of brain injury, examining its role in culture, the criminal justice system, and through historical figures like Henry VIII and Harriet Tubman. Encountering Liontas's sharp, affecting prose, the reader can imagine this kind of pain, and having to claw one's way back to a new normal. The hidden gift of injury, Liontas writes, is the ability to connect with others. For the millions of people who have suffered from concussions and for those who have endeavored to support loved ones through the painful and often baffling experience of head trauma, this astonishing and compassionate narrative offers insight and hope in equal measure.

Annie Liontas (Author), Natalie Naudus, TBD (Narrator)
