In the twenty years following Hu AnYan’s high school graduation, he has held nineteen different jobs. He’s been a convenience store clerk, a bicycle salesman, a security guard and a delivery driver (among many other things). He moves from city to city in China, slipping away any time the work gets too punishing or the bosses too bossy, carrying with him nothing but his copies of Chekhov and Carver. A million-copy bestseller in China, I Deliver Parcels in Beijing is Hu’s account of his life as a low-wage labourer working to live, not living to work.

Der Ostjude weiß in seiner Heimat nichts von der sozialen Ungerechtigkeit des Westens; nichts von der Herrschaft des Vorurteils, das die Wege, Handlungen, Sitten und Weltanschauungen des durchschnittlichen Westeuropäers beherrscht; nichts von der Enge des westlichen Horizonts, den Kraftanlagen umsäumen und Fabrikschornsteine durchzacken; nichts von dem Hass, der bereits so stark ist, dass man ihn als daseinerhaltendes (aber lebentötendes) Mittel sorgfältig hütet, wie ein ewiges Feuer, an dem sich der Egoismus jedes Menschen und jedes Landes wärmt.

In Original Sin, Kathryn Paige Harden weaves together insights from her own experience as a daughter, mother, wife, and scientist with cutting-edge research in genetics and psychology to grapple with some of the most important questions in modern life: How do we take responsibility for the people we become, knowing how we are shaped by both biology and experience? How should we respond when people hurt each other—or themselves? And has science made guilt obsolete?

The Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and translated into English by Samuel Moore in 1888 under Engels’ supervision, is one of the most influential political texts in modern history. Originally published in 1848, this concise manifesto lays out the principles of communism, the theory of historical materialism, and the role of class struggle as the driving force of history. Marx and Engels call for the working class to unite against capitalist oppression and envision a future society free from class divisions.

Pero hoy, cuando la imparable globalización que todo lo homogeneiza ha suscitado como reacción la reivindicación de indigenismos agraviados, ningún debate cultural es más candente y delicado que el de la apropiación cultural.

When actor, playwright and comedian Seamus O'Rourke first published Standing in Gaps in 2020 it found a wide audience amongst readers in rural Ireland. With a distinct talent for seeing the absurd in the ordinary, mundane lives of people who 'had nothing better to be at' and making it hilarious, Standing in Gaps manages to turn back time and transport the listener to a place where everything moved slowly – and in the Leitrim of the '60s, '70s and '80s, that means really slowly.

In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and in Antifragile he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what Taleb calls the "antifragile" is actually beyond the robust, because it benefits from shocks, uncertainty, and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. The antifragile needs disorder in order to survive and flourish. Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner.
