Now, over thirty years later, Female Lines: New Writing by Women from Northern Ireland – a stunning mosaic of work by some of the best contemporary women writers from Northern Ireland – acts as both a new staging post and a sequel to its vibrant feminist predecessor.

Yusuf Idris (1927 91), who belonged to the same generation of pioneering Egyptian writers as Naguib Mahfouz and Tawfiq al-Hakim, is widely celebrated as the father of the Arabic short story.

Ellis Worth wrote this selection of stories between 1955 and 1972. Accordingly, they refer to people, events, and objects in the vernacular of that era: President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Soviet Union Premier Nikita Khrushchev, costly operator-assisted long-distance telephone calls, Hudson automobiles, and so forth. In that regard, they provide a sometimes-nostalgic glimpse of the history of those times. During this period, Worth lived in Colorado, first...

Dice el diccionario que lo insólito es lo raro, lo extraño, lo desacostumbrado. Lo insólito nos permite observar el mundo desde el otro lado del espejo y deformar las imágenes de la realidad para mostrar su verdadero rostro. En esta antología, lo insólito es todo aquello que resulta extraordinario. Lo que se sale de lo común: lo inusual, lo fabuloso o lo inexplicable. Lo que aspira a ir más allá de la realidad.
Pero quizá lo verdaderamente...

Un recueil de texte littéraires sur la démocration sous toutes ses formes.
Les vrais embrasements s'en viennent sans crier gare. Comme si l'Histoire se passait de transitions, d'évolutions progressives. Jusqu'au point de rupture, tout semble baigner, et puis, tout à coup, rien ne va plus, au point que le retour en arrière semble impensable, que toute Restauration est exclue.

Amazone, amazone, amazone, Amazone. Le fleuve et la guerrière, deux puissances que seule la majuscule distingue. Le plus long cours d'eau de la planète, puisqu'il s'écoule sur 6 800 kilomètres, au débit de quelque 230 000 mètres cubes d'eau à la seconde, doit son nom, dit-on, à ces femmes armées d'arc aux flèches empoisonnées qui opposèrent une résistance forcenée...

Tales for Twilight offers a spine-tingling selection of unnerving tales by writers from James Hogg in the early eighteenth century to James Robertson, very much alive in the twenty-first. Scottish authors have proved to be exceptionally good at writing ghost stories. Perhaps it's because of the tradition of oral storytelling that has stretched over centuries, including poems and ballads with supernatural themes. The golden age was during the Victorian...

Un recueil de textes littéraires sur le tour de France. Huitième merveille du monde?
Et si le Tour de France était la huitième merveille du monde ? Un monument, certes, mais vivant, mobile ( combien), une installation - pour user du jargon esthétique contemporain - qui convoque un pays, le plus légendaire qui soit, et le met à contribution comme décor et protagoniste d'une épopée sans pareille ?
