До книги ввійшли 45 есеїв, які вперше побачили світ у 2012—2013 роках на шпальтах газети «Україна молода» в рубриці «Уроки літератури від Леоніда Ушкалова». У них автор порушує цілу низку питань, важливих для кожної людини: щастя, свобода, любов, правда, поезія, самотність… А героями есеїв є і добре відомі всім класики, зокрема Сковорода, Квітка-Основ’яненко, Шевченко, Гоголь, Драгоманов, Франко, Леся Українка, Кобилянська, Винниченко, Хвильовий, Йогансен, Маланюк, Довженко, Яновський, і куди менше знані автори: Кримський, Шпол, Буревій, Чернов, Теліга, Лівицька-Холодна й інші. Написані в яскравій публіцистичній манері, ці «уроки» незаперечно свідчать про одне: українська літературна традиція від давнини до сьогодні — багата, барвиста і надзвичайно цікава.

Фрагменты черновиков и записных книжек американского писателя-фантаста второй половины XX века Ф.К.Дика дают представление о мировоззрении автора. Публикуемые в приложении эссе, письма и интервью позволяют глубже познакомиться с космологическими концепциями оригинального мыслителя.

Очерк о Кипре последней трети XX века и о литераторах-киприотах, Элли и Паносе Пеонидисах.

Ремарка — автора романов знают все. Ремарк — сочинитель рассказов в России почти не известен. С ранней юности Эрих Мария Ремарк писал рассказы, очерки, статьи, зарисовки, рецензии. Его рассказы — психологические, лирические, приключенческие, исторические, даже фантастические — это ступеньки, по которым писатель поднимался к своим великим романам.

Неплохой вклад в в бесконечный ряд воспоминаний о выдающихся представителях русской культуры

I, Adam Carolla, being of beaten-down mind, declare this to be my Last Will and Testament. I revoke all wills and addendums previously made by me. (You guys never did listen, anyway.)Article II appoint the rest of the world’s unappreciated dads as Personal Representatives to administer this Will. I bequeath to them the right to crack a couple cold ones in the garage after working their asses off all week and ask that they be permitted to watch all the porn they like and not have to change diapers and get dragged to every preschool “graduation” and PTA meeting.Article IITo my wife, I leave a safe-deposit box, the sole content of which is a note reading “Get a job. I’m dead,” and my best wishes on trying to keep up with the unending demands of our houses, cars, dog, and kids.Article IIII devise, bequeath, and give my kids this book, Daddy, Stop Talking. Since you guys were the death of me, I leave you these pages of wisdom. But no cash, cars, or property. You’ve got to earn those. On that note, I further demand that the following message be placed on the marker of my grave: “You’re All on Your Own Now. Enjoy.”

Con il loro salotto artistico e letterario - che negli anni tra le due guerre era frequentato, tra gli altri, da Picasso, Picabia, Matisse, Braque, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Sherwood Anderson - Alice B. Toklas e Gertrude Stein hanno fatto un pezzo di storia. Ma quando, dopo la morte di Gertrude, un editore chiese ad Alice di scrivere le sue memorie, lei si schermì dicendo che al massimo sarebbe stata in grado di scrivere un libro di cucina. Lui promise di accontentarsi, ma lei fece molto di più.

Uscito nel 1954 in America con il titolo "The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook", "I biscotti di Baudelaire" è una ricchissima raccolta di ricette e di ricordi non solo culinari, di aneddoti divertenti, di convinte opinioni su questioni gastronomiche ma anche artistiche, di viaggi tra Francia e America, di pranzi e cene a casa di artisti bohémien ma anche di ricchi e famosi.

Un libro che si legge non solo per consultare le ricette e catturare i sapori amati da artisti e scrittori, ma soprattutto per rivivere l'atmosfera di un tempo e di un ambiente davvero speciali.

E così ecco i piatti, le idee, gli spunti di ricette che Alice condivideva con gli amici: il branzino di Picasso, per esempio, decorato con uova sode, tartufi ed erbe tritate, le uova alla Francis Picabia, le mele glassate di Cecil Beaton, la crema di Josephine Baker, la minestra di alloro di Dora Maar, il caffé di James Joyce e quegli incredibili biscotti di Baudelaire...

Whether it involves musing on the inevitable and annoying ironies of everyday life, spouting off about anything and everything that gets his goat, or just plain figuring out new and improved ways to be difficult, George Carlin’s comedy is incorrigible and unmistakable. Following the runaway success of Brain Droppings, Carlin now delivers all-new rants, what-ifs, observations, and out-and-out damnations in his cantankerous new collection, Napalm and Silly Putty.Carlin is at his best taking on the whole world and telling it like it is—or at least how he sees it. From the “Airline Announcements” section (“…here’s a phrase that apparently the airlines simply made up: near miss. Bull****, my friend. It’s a near hit! A collision is a near miss.”) to “Cars and Driving” (“One of the first things they teach you in Driver’s Ed is where to put your hands on the steering wheel. They tell you to put ’em at ten o’clock and two o’clock. Never mind that. I put mine at 9:45 and 2:17. Gives me an extra half hour to get where I’m goin’.”), Carlin takes you on a wild ride through a life you’ll never look at the same way again. He identifies the experience of “vuja de”—“the distinct sense that, somehow, something that just happened has never happened before”—and posits existential questions including, “If there really are multiple universes, what do they call the thing they’re all a part of?” and “If the reason for climbing Mt. Everest is that it’s hard to do, why does everyone go up the easy side?” Of course, it wouldn’t be George Carlin if he didn’t say a whole lot more that we just can’t print here! Including more lists of things he’s had just about enough of, and hilarious short takes that will put you in stitches, Napalm and Silly Putty is Carlin’s comic opus on life at the dawn of the 21st century. In it, he asks, “Have you ever started a path? No one seems willing to do this. We don’t mind using existing paths, but we rarely start new ones. Do it today. Start a path. Even if it doesn’t lead anywhere.” Carlin has certainly started his own path — read Napalm and Silly Putty and decide for yourself where he’s going.
