In Lost Boys, James Bloodworth delves into these underground worlds and asks where have they come from? Why are so many men susceptible to the sinister beliefs these groups promote? What does the emergence of these communities say about Western society? And what can we do about it? In the course of his journey, he meets incels, enlists on a bootcamp for so-called "alpha males", and speaks to modern day Hugh Hefners using social media to broadcast their jet set lifestyles to millions of followers.

Only a man who had lived all his life in Suffolk could produce such a vivid and accurate portrayal of Akenfield and its inhabitants. Ronald Blythe recounts the personal recollections of, among others, the local school keeper, doctor, blacksmith, saddler, district nurse and magistrate as they discussed farming, education, welfare, class, religion and death. Originally published in 1969, Akenfield forms a unique document of a way of life that has, in many ways, disappeared.

Is there a neverending commentary of things to do on a constant loop in your head?

In 2014, the world witnessed the start of a mysterious series of cyberattacks. Targeting American utility companies, NATO, and electric grids in Eastern Europe, the strikes grew ever more brazen. They culminated in the summer of 2017, when the malware known as NotPetya was unleashed, penetrating, disrupting, and paralyzing some of the world's largest businesses. At the attack's epicenter in Ukraine, ATMs froze. The railway and postal systems shut down. Hospitals went dark. NotPetya spread around the world, inflicting an unprecedented ten billion dollars in damage.

After the end of the Cold War, neoliberalism, with its belief in the virtues of markets and competition, seemed to have triumphed. Communism had been defeated – and Friedrich Hayek, the spiritual father of neoliberal economics, had just about lived to see it. But in the decades that followed, Hayek’s disciples knew that they had a problem. The rise of social movements, from civil rights and feminism to environmentalism, were now proving roadblocks in the road to freedom, nurturing a culture of government dependency, public spending, political correctness and special pleading.

« La sociedad del cansancio » puede considerarse una de las obras más emblemáticas de Byung-Chul Han. En ella, con una visión casi profética, se presentan los grandes temas que el filósofo surcoreano desarrollaría luego durante más de una década, alcanzando celebridad mundial. En conmemoración de toda esa trayectoria filosófica, y por su rotunda actualidad, volvemos a presentar ahora esta obra en una nueva traducción.

Después de más de doce años de ensayos críticos con el régimen neoliberal, en esta nueva y novedosa obra el célebre filósofo Byung-Chul Han emprende no ya un viraje, sino una verdadera superación hacia una alentadora visión del hombre. De la desesperación más profunda nace también la esperanza más íntima. La esperanza nos lanza hacia lo desconocido, nos pone camino de lo nuevo, de lo que jamás ha existido.

Estripar la terra exposa les mentides del món rural i fa una reflexió de la percepció enganyosa que tenim del nostre entorn. A través de diversos capítols, i en un format inspirat en el manifest, Dunyó estimula el lector a repensar com ens relacionem amb el temps, la terra i el que hi produïm. Amb un llenguatge evocador i poètic, però alhora amb un estil provocador i sense complexos, ens fa replantejar les prioritats per combatre els discursos de la lògica del capitalisme.

Daniel Gamper sostiene que los tiempos están maduros para nuevos aguafiestas que pongan palos en las ruedas de la risa. La risa es lenguaje y, como las palabras, puede ser cortés, falsa, amigable, mordaz, insultante y discriminadora. Tras leer este libro no volverás a reír sin antes detenerte a pensar dónde, cómo, cuándo, con quién y por qué lo haces.

El somni és una obra complexa i singular, capaç de mirar-se de prop i amb un gran sentit de l'humor els aspectes més prosaics de la vida quotidiana però també d'elevar-se fins a les idees filosòfiques més transcendents. Metge, tancat a la presó per acusacions de malversació i corrupció, comença a somiar i se li presenten el personatge del rei mort recentment, Joan I, i dels personatges mitològics Orfeu i Tirèsies, amb els quals obre un diàleg en què discuteixen des de la immortalitat de l'ànima, d'algunes aficions excessives o dels defectes i virtuts d'homes i dones.

Da Milano a Roma, passando per Torino, Gradisca d'Isonzo, Palazzo San Gervasio, Brindisi, Bari, Trapani, Caltanissetta e Macomer: la detenzione amministrativa nei Cpr ci ricorda che in Italia esistono vite che valgono meno. Sono quelle dei sans-papiers, coloro che non hanno un regolare permesso di soggiorno, e possono ritrovarsi all'improvviso chiusi in gabbie di pochi metri quadrati.
