Notes Along the way is a collection of essays about life and our role in the universe. Like the programming code of a popular software application, these articles reveal life's hidden workings-the rules and regulations that create and maintain our world. Many esoteric ideas are divulged in this travelogue, but desperate times require desperate measures.Our planet is in Kairos time: the ancient Greek expression for times of maximum danger and maximum opportunity. The dangers are obvious: our imploding environment, deepening gender inequality and economic imbalance, antagonistic race relations, and religious zealotry, among others. The opportunity, however, is not so clear. To that end, I offer a new way of seeing the world that gives an individual the possibility of transforming life's negative effect into something positive.Notes Along the Way is similar to Meditations, in which the Roman emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius recorded his private ponderings and ideas. Yet Notes goes beyond this type of discourse by referencing a number of great religious, spiritual and world leaders, as well as ancient teachings, to propose the essence of a positive paradigm that can feed the mind and heart-and soothe the soul.

2008. In una estancia di Bahía Negra, nell¿Alto Paraguay, una donna riordina i suoi appunti di viaggio: in quelle note, tra qualche fotografia sbiadita e un pugno di ricordi, scorre il mistero di un uomo che ha vissuto la sua esistenza come un romanzo d¿avventura, e la cui fine è avvolta nella leggenda. Fine Ottocento. Guido Boggiani è un pittore affermato, frequenta D¿Annunzio e i circoli artistici più raffinati, ma il successo non lo appaga. Sogna una nuova vita, insegue una libertà che gli è impossibile afferrare in Italia, e decide di partire. Attraversa l¿Atlantico e nei territori selvaggi e pericolosi, intriganti e seducenti, del Sud America finalmente trova quello che cerca: un mondo ¿ e un popolo, quello delle tribù indigene dell¿inesplorato Chaco paraguayo ¿ ancora tutto da scoprire. Qui, tra le minacce dei cannibali pitáyovai ¿coi piedi alla rovesciä e nuove amicizie alimentate da ¿solitudini condivise, da nostalgie che restano non condivise e dal combustibile garantito dal whisky¿, Guido adotta lo stile degli indios, ma presto si ritrova a essere una presenza scomoda, guardato con sospetto dagli indigeni e apertamente osteggiato dai grandi proprietari terrieri, ai quali quell¿europeo che difende le tribù dallo sfruttamento non piace per nulla. Laura Pariani compone un grande romanzo corale, appassionante come Stevenson e luminoso come García Márquez: un viaggio a perdifiato, all¿indietro e senza mappe, scegliendo con cura le parole lungo il sentiero come fossero indizi, tracce di vite a noi sconosciute che scopriamo appartenerci.

Neither a cautionary tale nor a polemic, Men as Friends is about a variety of male friendships and a variety of men. A "coming-of-old-age story," it speaks to an audience of men who love or have loved other men but are too embarrassed to say so, opening the reader to the deep sadness of loss as well as the joy of its acknowledgment.

'It was the prevailing attitude in the 1960s that women had no history. There were no women's studies, nothing.' - Judy Chicago, creator of the iconic art installation The Dinner Party, 2017'The Dinner Party by the talented poet Colleen Keating brings to light, through beautiful lyrical poetry, what for centuries has been ignored: the power and strength of women. Very little has been made known about the lives of influential women of the past, as women's lived experience has been suppressed, even erased from history. In this collection, the poet resuscitates the experience of women from prehistory to women's twentieth-century revolution. Her poetry traces the lives of women who demonstrated their influence, in every field including philosophy, medicine, writing, art, astronomy, suffragists and justice warriors who fought for recognition. Women who gave their lives, suffered, broke barriers, knocked down walls, smashed glass ceilings, pried open doors, who defied patriarchy in some way for all of us. Still today as women are written into history, the struggle for our reckoning towards equality and respect continues. A must-read book that honours women; women who would not be silent.' - Dr Beatriz Copello'With impeccable research and deep empathy, Colleen Keating continues her powerful poetic contribution to feminist literature with the celebration of thirty-nine of the more than a thousand women forgotten, marginalised or written out of Western history. A remarkable and beautifully imagined work.' - Pip Griffin

Out of Place offers an in-depth exploration of Nuraan Davids' experience as a Muslim 'coloured' woman, traversing a post-apartheid space. It centres on and explores a number of themes, which include her challenges not only as a South African citizen, and within her faith community, but as an academic citizen at a historically white university. The book is her story, an autoethnography, her reparation.By embarking on an auto-ethnography, she not only tries to change the way her story has been told by others, transforms her 'sense of what it means to live' (Bhabha, 1994). She is driven by a postcolonial appeal, which insists that if she seeks to imprint her own way of life into the discourses which pervade the world around her, then she can no longer allow herself to be spoken on behalf of or to be subjugated into the hegemonies of others.The main argument of Out of Place is that Muslim, 'coloured' women are subjected to layers of scrutiny and prejudices, which have yet to be confronted. What we know about Muslim 'coloured' women has been shaped by preconceived notions of 'otherness', and attached to a meta-narrative of 'oppression and backwardness'. By centring and using her lived experiences, the author takes readers on a journey of what it is like to be seen in terms of race, gender and religion - not only within the public sphere of her professional identities, but within the private sphere of her faith community.

Art, aesthetics, literary criticism, and political science are fields that are today scarcely recognized (though they were originally long pursued) among the truly extraordinary intellectual exploits of the great Italian philosopher and political activist Eugenio Colorni. The present volume intends, at least in part, to fill this gap. It reveals first and foremost the anti-fascist inspiration which from the beginning animated Colorni in the pages of the Genoese Gobettian young-people's review Pietre, especially in its second series edited by Lelio Basso. It presents three of Colorni's essays on aesthetics (two of them unpublished and rediscovered by Mario Quaranta), initially developed in the framework of the teachings of G.A. Borgese, which respectively concern the work of Roberto Ardig¿, Bergsonism, and Benedetto Croce (the latter in the definitive version - L'estetica di Benedetto Croce. Studio Critico - published as a monograph as early as 1932). It brings together many of the young Colorni's reviews of articles concerning these disciplines and others, such as law and philosophy. Through the courtesy of Signora Eva Hirschmann Monteforte, it also includes many of Colorni's opinions as an involuntary literary critic, taken from his correspondence with his wife Ursula Hirschmann during his imprisonment and confinement. Finally, the volume closes with two novellas that he wrote as an adult.

Goethe lässt seinen Faust bekennen: "Zwei Seelen wohnen, ach, in meiner Brust." Alle Religionen basieren auf der Tatsache, dass der Mensch gut und böse sein kann. Zurzeit scheint das Gebot der Nächstenliebe nicht mehr zu gelten. Nicht einmal akzeptiert, wer anders ist. Missachtung, Hass oder Gleichgültigkeit dominieren Denken und Handeln der Menschen. Digitalisiert, sekundenschnell rund um den Globus verbreitet. Und der Eindruck entsteht, jeder ist der Feind des anderen. In diesem Buch erinnert der Autor erneut eigene Erlebnisse in der Nazizeit. Schont sich selber nicht. Nimmt aktuelle Ereignisse zum Anlass, in der Geschichte der Menschheit nach Motiven zu suchen, die Menschen bis heute veranlassen, gut oder böse zu sein. Das Böse scheint zu dominieren. Obwohl in jedem ein guter Kern.
