Manoscritti economico-filosofici del 1844 di Karl Marx

 

 

I "Manoscritti economico-filosofici del 1844" furono scritti dal Marx ventiseienne tra il marzo e il settembre di quell'anno. Essi avrebbero dovuto costituire la prima parziale esecuzione di un disegno più generale: cioè la critica dell'economia politica. Questi manoscritti rappresentano la raggiunta consapevolezza, da parte di Marx, del vizio d'origine della filosofia hegeliana, l'astrattismo. Il giovane Marx, avendo acquistata chiara consapevolezza del suo distacco da Hegel e messo da parte definitivamente il radicalismo democratico, inizia un lavoro costruttivo nel campo della critica filosofica, storica, economica e politica e, in questi saggi, comincia a delineare una compiuta teoria della società e della storia.

La concezione materialistica della storia di Karl Marx e Friedrich Engels

 

 

Intorno alla concezione materialistica della storia - al «materialismo storico», come in seguito lo chiamerà Engels - è fiorita una quantità di luoghi comuni, non ultimo quello secondo cui le formulazioni che ad essa diedero Marx ed Engels nell'”Ideologia tedesca” sarebbero state un parto affrettato e precipitoso, una trovata intellettualistica fra altre, e nemmeno molto originale. Questa ampia scelta antologica offre l'occasione di ritornare ai testi, di ricostruire l'itinerario attraverso il quale Marx ed Engels, per strade diverse, giunsero alla convinzione che il «modo di produzione» è l'agente della storia.

Il manifesto del Partito Comunista di Karl Marx e Friedrich Engels

 

 

Il volume comprende inoltre i Principî del comunismo e Per la storia della Lega dei Comunisti di Engels, le prefazioni di Marx e Engels alle varie edizioni del Manifesto, un saggio storico-critico di Bruno Bongiovanni, un'introduzione e una bibliografia ragionata di Lorenzo Riberi.

Il capitale. Ediz. integrale di Karl Marx

 

 

Il capolavoro di Marx, spietata e allo stesso tempo scientifica analisi della società capitalistica nelle sue profonde contraddizioni, è una lettura indispensabile per chi non voglia sentirsi estraneo al mondo contemporaneo. Pietra miliare nella storia del pensiero moderno in quanto fondamento dottrinale delle più importanti rivoluzioni politiche del Novecento, "Il capitale" getta ancor oggi una luce demistificante sugli alienanti rapporti sociali del presente. Il senso più genuino e il nucleo più duraturo dell'opera di Marx stanno tuttora nella sua rigorosa "critica dell'economia politica", una critica che definisce la storicità della società contemporanea.

Saggio sull'intelletto umano di John Locke

 

 

Per la prima volta in Italia, un'edizione digitale del filosofo britannico John Locke, considerato uno degli anticipatori dell'Illuminismo e il primo teorico del liberalismo classico. Il suo Saggio sull'intelletto umano, dato alle stampe la prima volta nel 1690, ha il valore di un'opera pedagogica e tratta i fondamenti della formazione della conoscenza umana e dell'intelletto. L'opera esce oggi per Utet in un ricco ebook, completo di un apparato esegetico collegato alla traduzione italiana in modalità ipertestuale.

Lettera sulla tolleranza di John Locke

 

 

Il primo, il meglio argomentato e il più persuasivo manifesto per la tolleranza e la libertà di pensiero. La "Lettera sulla tolleranza", e il Saggio sullo stesso tema che qui l'accompagna, sono tra i testi fondamentali della moderna cultura europea, tra quelli che più hanno contribuito ad educare alla civiltà liberale. E nello stesso tempo sono tra le pagine più attuali mai scritte. John Locke (1632-1704) è uno dei maggiori esponenti dell'empirismo inglese.

The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner by Daniel Ellsberg

 

 

Shortlisted for the 2018 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction

From the legendary Pentagon Papers whistle-blower, an eyewitness exposé of America's Top Secret, seventy-year nuclear policy that continues to this day.

Here, for the first time, former high-level defense analyst Daniel Ellsberg reveals his shocking firsthand account of America's nuclear program in the 1960s. From the remotest air bases in the Pacific Command, where he discovered that the authority to initiate use of nuclear weapons was widely delegated, to the secret plans for general nuclear war under Eisenhower, which, if executed, would cause the near-extinction of humanity, Ellsberg shows that the legacy of this most dangerous arms buildup in the history of civilization--and its proposed renewal under the Trump administration--threatens our very survival. No other insider with high-level access has written so candidly of the nuclear strategy of the late Eisenhower and early Kennedy years, and nothing has fundamentally changed since that era.

Framed as a memoir--a chronicle of madness in which Ellsberg acknowledges participating--this gripping exposé reads like a thriller and offers feasible steps we can take to dismantle the existing "doomsday machine" and avoid nuclear catastrophe, returning Ellsberg to his role as whistle-blower. The Doomsday Machine is thus a real-life Dr. Strangelove story and an ultimately hopeful--and powerfully important--book about not just our country, but the future of the world.

The Dragons and the Snakes: How the Rest Learned to Fight the West by David Kilcullen

 

 

Just a few years ago, people spoke of the US as a hyperpower-a titan stalking the world stage with more relative power than any empire in history. Yet as early as 1993, newly-appointed CIA director James Woolsey pointed out that although Western powers had "slain a large dragon" by defeating
the Soviet Union in the Cold War, they now faced a "bewildering variety of poisonous snakes."

In The Dragons and the Snakes, the eminent soldier-scholar David Kilcullen asks how, and what, opponents of the West have learned during the last quarter-century of conflict. Applying a combination of evolutionary theory and detailed field observation, he explains what happened to the
"snakes"-non-state threats including terrorists and guerrillas-and the "dragons"-state-based competitors such as Russia and China. He explores how enemies learn under conditions of conflict, and examines how Western dominance over a very particular, narrowly-defined form of warfare since the Cold
War has created a fitness landscape that forces adversaries to adapt in ways that present serious new challenges to America and its allies. Within the world's contemporary conflict zones, Kilcullen argues, state and non-state threats have increasingly come to resemble each other, with states
adopting non-state techniques and non-state actors now able to access levels of precision and lethal weapon systems once only available to governments.

A counterintuitive look at this new, vastly more complex environment, The Dragons and the Snakes will not only reshape our understanding of the West's enemies' capabilities, but will also show how we can respond given the increasing limits on US power.

Supreme Court Gun Cases by David Kopel

 

 

Six years after I started, "Supreme Court Gun Cases" is now on press.

The Court has NOT been quiet -- there are 92 gun cases!

The Court repeatedly recognizes an individual right to arms.

The Court repeatedly recognizes the right to armed self defense.

The word "gun" is used in some form 2,910 times in the official decisions (gun, pistol, rifle, shotgun, etc., even Winchester five times).

To stop the spin doctors, I've reproduced all the actual cases.

My trademark "plain-English summaries" are included with each case.

I've highlighted more than 1,000 amazing quotations from the cases to make it a pleasure to read.

This is the most stunning support for personal gun rights in years.

I didn't just do this by myself -- my two co-authors are Attorney Stephen Halbrook, who has argued and won three Supreme Court gun cases, including the Waco/Branch Davidian case; and Attorney David Kopel, one of the top Second Amendment attorneys in the nation.

Key civil-rights leaders have seen early drafts and we've been honored with testimonials from the top organizations in the field, including:

GOA -- Larry Pratt
SAF -- Alan Gottlieb
JPFO -- Aaron Zelman
NRA -- Wayne LaPierre

...plus Joe Arpaio (The "Toughest Sheriff in America"), the Goldwater Institute, John Lott, Suzanna Gratia Hupp, Col. Jeff Cooper, Neal Knox, Tom Gresham and many more* (listed at the end).

This book changes the political landscape on the gun-rights debate forever.

Germs: Biological Weapons and America's Secret War by Judith Miller, William J Broad, and Stephen Engelberg

 

 

In this “engrossing, well-documented, and highly readable” (San Francisco Chronicle) New York Times bestseller, three veteran reporters draw on top sources inside and outside the U.S. government to reveal Washington's secret strategies for combating germ warfare and the deadly threat of biological and chemical weapons.

Today Americans have begun to grapple with two difficult truths: that there is no terrorist threat more horrifying—and less understood—than germ warfare, and that it would take very little to mount a devastating attack on American soil.

Featuring an inside look at how germ warfare has been waged throughout history and what form its future might take (and in whose hands), Germs reads like a gripping detective story told by fascinating key figures: American and Soviet medical specialists who once made germ weapons but now fight their spread, FBI agents who track Islamic radicals, the Iraqis who built Saddam Hussein's secret arsenal, spies who travel the world collecting lethal microbes, and scientists who see ominous developments on the horizon.

With clear scientific explanations and harrowing insights, Germs is a vivid, masterfully written—and timely—work of investigative journalism.

The Dead Hand: The Untold Story of the Cold War Arms Race and Its Dangerous Legacy by David Hoffman

 

 

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE

The first full account of how the Cold War arms race finally came to a close, this riveting narrative history sheds new light on the people who struggled to end this era of massive overkill, and examines the legacy of the nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons that remain a threat today.
 
Drawing on memoirs, interviews in both Russia and the US, and classified documents from deep inside the Kremlin, David E. Hoffman examines the inner motives and secret decisions of each side and details the deadly stockpiles that remained unsecured as the Soviet Union collapsed. This is the fascinating story of how Reagan, Gorbachev, and a previously unheralded collection of scientists, soldiers, diplomats, and spies changed the course of history.

One Minute to Midnight: Kennedy, Khrushchev, and Castro on the Brink of Nuclear War by Michael Dobbs

 

 

In October 1962, at the height of the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union came to the brink of nuclear conflict over the placement of Soviet missiles in Cuba. In this hour-by-hour chronicle of those tense days, veteran Washington Post reporter Michael Dobbs reveals just how close we came to Armageddon.

Here, for the first time, are gripping accounts of Khrushchev's plan to destroy the U.S. naval base at Guantánamo; the handling of Soviet nuclear warheads on Cuba; and the extraordinary story of a U-2 spy plane that got lost over Russia at the peak of the crisis.

Written like a thriller, One Minute to Midnight is an exhaustively researched account of what Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. called “the most dangerous moment in human history,” and the definitive book on the Cuban missile crisis.

 

Iran's Perilous Pursuit of Nuclear Weapons by David Albright and Sarah Burkhard

 

 

The Institute of Science and International Security’s new book Iran’s Perilous Pursuit of Nuclear Weapons chronicles the Islamic Republic of Iran’s efforts to build nuclear weapons. The book draws from original Iranian documents seized by Israel’s Mossad in 2018 in a dramatic overnight raid in Tehran. The “Nuclear Archive” allows deep insight into the country’s effort to secretly build nuclear weapons. The book relies on unprecedented access to archive documents, many translated by the Institute into English for the first time. The first part of the book concentrates on Iran’s crash nuclear weapons program in the early 2000s to build five nuclear weapons and an industrial complex to produce many more. By 2003, responding to growing pressure from European powers to freeze its publicly known nuclear programs and fearing a possible U.S. military attack, Iran’s leaders decided to downsize, but not stop, their secret nuclear weapons effort. The second part of the book discusses Iran’s nuclear path post-2003, revealing a careful plan to continue nuclear weapons work, overcome bottlenecks and better camouflage nuclear weapons development activities.Since 2003, the Islamic Republic’s nuclear scientists and weaponeers have concentrated on establishing capabilities to make weapon-grade uranium and developing more reliable, longer-range ballistic missiles. Work on the nuclear weapon itself also has continued. Given how much Iran learned about building nuclear weapons during its crash program, combined with its post-2003 accomplishments, the country has developed a sophisticated capability to make nuclear weapons. Iran appears to have a program to be prepared to make nuclear weapons and to do so on short order. Rather than a crash nuclear weapons program, Iran threatens the world with a program ready to produce nuclear weapons “on-demand.” Iran’s nuclear weapons capabilities pose great risks. If Iran detonates a nuclear explosive or demonstrates possession in another way, nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles are sure to follow at a later date. The Middle East will become more dangerous and far less able to walk back from the nuclear precipice. Nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament efforts throughout the world could suffer irredeemably. The story of Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons is nearing a climax. Iran’s Perilous Pursuit of Nuclear Weapons is a comprehensive assessment of Iran’s nuclear weapons activities and the country’s longstanding subterfuges. Extensively illustrated with color photos and diagrams from the Nuclear Archive, the book contains much new information and analysis, invaluable in any discussion of the most effective ways to ensure Iran does not build nuclear weapons, indispensable for all those concerned about the spread of nuclear weapons, arms control, and the future of the Middle East.

Great Again: How to Fix Our Crippled America by Donald J. Trump

 

 

In this book (previously published as Crippled America), we’re going to look at the state of the world right now. It’s a terrible mess, and that’s putting it mildly. There has never been a more dangerous time. The politicians and special interests in Washington, DC are directly responsible for the mess we are in. So why should we continue listening to them?

It’s time to bring America back to its rightful owners—the American people.

I’m not going to play the same game politicians have been playing for decades—all talk, no action, while special interests and lobbyists dictate our laws. I am shaking up the establishment on both sides of the political aisle because I can’t be bought. I want to bring America back, to make it great and prosperous again, and to be sure we are respected by our allies and feared by our adversaries.

It’s time for action. Americans are fed up with politics as usual. And they should be! In this book, I outline my vision to make America great again, including: how to fix our failing economy; how to reform health care so it is more efficient, cost-effective, and doesn’t alienate both doctors and patients; how to rebuild our military and start winning wars—instead of watching our enemies take over—while keeping our promises to our great veterans; how to ensure that our education system offers the resources that allow our students to compete internationally, so tomorrow’s jobseekers have the tools they need to succeed; and how to immediately bring jobs back to America by closing our doors to illegal immigrants, and pressuring businesses to produce their goods at home.

This book is my blueprint for how to Make America Great Again. It’s not hard. We just need someone with the courage to say what needs to be said.

Nuclear Folly: A History of the Cuban Missile Crisis Hardcover – April 13, 2021 by Serhii Plokhy

 

 

A harrowing account of the Cuban missile crisis and how the US and USSR came to the brink of nuclear apocalypse.

Nearly thirty years after the end of the Cold War, today’s world leaders are abandoning disarmament treaties, building up their nuclear arsenals, and exchanging threats of nuclear strikes. To survive this new atomic age, we must relearn the lessons of the most dangerous moment of the Cold War: the Cuban missile crisis.

Serhii Plokhy’s Nuclear Folly offers an international perspective on the crisis, tracing the tortuous decision-making that produced and then resolved it, which involved John Kennedy and his advisers, Nikita Khrushchev and Fidel Castro, and their commanders on the ground. In breathtaking detail, Plokhy vividly recounts the young JFK being played by the canny Khrushchev; the hotheaded Castro willing to defy the USSR and threatening to align himself with China; the Soviet troops on the ground clearing jungle foliage in the tropical heat, and desperately trying to conceal nuclear installations on Cuba, which were nonetheless easily spotted by U-2 spy planes; and the hair-raising near misses at sea that nearly caused a Soviet nuclear-armed submarine to fire its weapons.

More often than not, the Americans and Soviets misread each other, operated under false information, and came perilously close to nuclear catastrophe. Despite these errors, nuclear war was ultimately avoided for one central reason: fear, and the realization that any escalation on either the Soviets’ or the Americans’ part would lead to mutual destruction.

Drawing on a range of Soviet archival sources, including previously classified KGB documents, as well as White House tapes, Plokhy masterfully illustrates the drama and anxiety of those tense days, and provides a way for us to grapple with the problems posed in our present day.

Facts Don't Care about Your Feelings by Ben Shapiro

Published between 2016 and 2019, these columns highlight Donald Trump’s campaign, election and presidency.

This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends: The Cyberweapons Arms Race by Nicole Perlroth

 

 

“Part John le Carré and more parts Michael Crichton . . . spellbinding.” –The New Yorker

From The New York Times cybersecurity reporter Nicole Perlroth, the untold story of the cyberweapons market-the most secretive, invisible, government-backed market on earth-and a terrifying first look at a new kind of global warfare.

Zero day: a software bug that allows a hacker to break into your devices and move around undetected. One of the most coveted tools in a spy's arsenal, a zero day has the power to silently spy on your iPhone, dismantle the safety controls at a chemical plant, alter an election, and shut down the electric grid (just ask Ukraine).

For decades, under cover of classification levels and non-disclosure agreements, the United States government became the world's dominant hoarder of zero days. U.S. government agents paid top dollar-first thousands, and later millions of dollars- to hackers willing to sell their lock-picking code and their silence.

Then the United States lost control of its hoard and the market.

Now those zero days are in the hands of hostile nations and mercenaries who do not care if your vote goes missing, your clean water is contaminated, or our nuclear plants melt down.

Filled with spies, hackers, arms dealers, and a few unsung heroes, written like a thriller and a reference, This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends is an astonishing feat of journalism. Based on years of reporting and hundreds of interviews, The New York Times reporter Nicole Perlroth lifts the curtain on a market in shadow, revealing the urgent threat faced by us all if we cannot bring the global cyber arms race to heel.

Storia dell'idea di tempo di Henri Bergson

 

 

Henri Bergson concepiva l’insegnamento come un tutt’uno con l’elaborazione delle sue opere. Il corso tenuto al Collège de France nel 1902-1903, tradotto interamente in italiano, era dedicato al concetto di tempo nella storia della filosofia. In queste lezioni Bergson si confronta con Platone, Aristotele, Plotino, Galileo, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Newton e Kant. Nel cuore della metafisica occidentale il filosofo francese intravede una fondamentale negazione del tempo, impropriamente considerato come imitazione e riduzione di un’originaria eternità, inattingibile nell’immediato e esperibile solo per il tramite di un apparato simbolico. Alla luce di questa paradossale “falsa partenza” del pensiero occidentale, Bergson indica nella storia della metafisica la costante riproposizione dei suoi errori fondativi; ma vi intravede anche l’inesorabile cammino concettuale che, progressivamente, riconduce il tempo alla sua natura psicologica, quella della durata. Prefazione di Rocco Ronchi e postfazione di Camille Riquier.

Durata e simultaneità di Henri Bergson

 

 

"Durata e simultaneità" è l'opera in cui Henri Bergson discute i presupposti e gli esiti della teoria della relatività. La questione riguarda il tempo, che dopo la grande rivoluzione teorica formulata da Einstein, sembra dover rinunciare alla propria unità e indivisibilità. Ma per il filosofo le cose devono essere affrontate nella loro concretezza. E la concretezza del tempo, per Bergson, non sta affatto nella sua misura, ma nella sua durata. Ancora oggi attualissimo, questo testo è una delle testimonianze fondamentali del modo in cui scienza e filosofia possono confrontarsi e scontrarsi su un terreno comune e rivelare così la natura dei propri metodi e il senso del proprio lavoro.

Introduzione alla metafisica di Henri Bergson

 

 

"Vi è almeno una realtà che cogliamo completamente dal di dentro, per intuizione e non con la semplice analisi. Essa è la nostra stessa persona nel suo scorrere attraverso il tempo, il nostro Io che dura. Non possiamo simpatizzare intellettualmente con nessun altra cosa, ma simpatizziamo certamente con noi stessi". Henri-Louis Bergson (1859-1941) è stato uno dei più importanti filosofi francesi del Novecento. Le sue teorie hanno influenzato la psicologia, l'arte, la teologia e la letteratura (per la quale nel 1927 fu insignito del premio Nobel).

Il riso di Henri Bergson

 

 

«Mentre ho voluto determinare i procedimenti di produzione del comico, ho cercato anche quale sia l'intenzione della società quando ride. Perché stupisce troppo il fatto che si rida, e che il metodo di spiegazione di cui parlavo più sopra non chiarisca questo piccolo mistero. Non vedo, per esempio, per qual motivo la "disarmonia", in quanto tale, dovrebbe suscitare in chi ne è testimone una manifestazione così specifica come il riso, mentre tante altre proprietà, qualità o difetti lasciano impassibili i muscoli del viso dello spettatore. È quindi ancora necessario cercare quale sia la causa particolare della disarmonia che crea l'effetto comico; e l'avremo realmente trovata solo se riusciremo a spiegare perchè, in tal caso, la società si senta tenuta a manifestarsi. Nella causa del comico ci deve pur essere qualcosa che attenta leggermente (ma che attenta specificatamente) alla vita sociale, poichè la società vi risponde con un gesto che ha tutta l'aria di una reazione difensiva, con un gesto che fa lievemente paura. È di tutto questo che ho voluto render conto.» (Henri Bergson)

Saggio sui dati immediati della coscienza di Henri Bergson

 

 

Il volume contiene tutti i grandi temi della filosofia di Bergson e in particolare l'idea di durata, ovvero di un tempo qualitativo non riducibile al tempo spazializzato dagli orologi. Questa originale nozione influenzerà l'intero orizzonte filosofico del Novecento ma anche zone consistenti dell'esperienza letteraria (Proust vi si ispirò direttamente). Insieme alla "durata" Bergson propone altre idee decisive come quella di "differenza" (che verrà raccolta soprattutto da Deleuze), di "virtuale", di "creatività", di "libertà", e naturalmente di "coscienza".

Materia e memoria. Saggio sulla relazione tra il corpo e lo spirito di Henri Bergson

 

 

In quest'opera, che anticipa il dibattito contemporaneo sul cosiddetto 'mind-body problem', Bergson conferma il suo distacco dalle forme intellettualistiche del pensiero moderno e prospetta una concezione dinamica dell'identità dell'io e del reale. Questa edizione italiana è stata condotta sul testo pubblicato in H. Bergson, Oeuvres, Paris 1959.

Toni Morrison: Memory and Meaning by Adrienne Lanier Seward

 

 

Toni Morrison: Memory and Meaning boasts essays by well-known international scholars focusing on the author’s literary production and including her very latest works―the theatrical production Desdemona and her tenth and latest novel, Home. These original contributions are among the first scholarly analyses of these latest additions to her oeuvre and make the volume a valuable addition to potential readers and teachers eager to understand the position of Desdemona and Home within the wider scope of Morrison’s career. Indeed, in Home, we find a reworking of many of the tropes and themes that run throughout Morrison’s fiction, prompting the editors to organize the essays as they relate to themes prevalent in Home.

In many ways, Morrison has actually initiated paradigm shifts that permeate the essays. They consistently reflect, in approach and interpretation, the revolutionary change in the study of American literature represented by Morrison’s focus on the interior lives of enslaved Africans. This collection assumes black subjectivity, rather than argues for it, in order to reread and revise the horror of slavery and its consequences into our time. The analyses presented in this volume also attest to the broad range of interdisciplinary specializations and interests in novels that have now become classics in world literature. The essays are divided into five sections, each entitled with a direct quotation from Home, and framed by two poems: Rita Dove’s “The Buckeye” and Sonia Sanchez’s “Aaayeee Babo, Aaayeee Babo, Aaayeee Babo.”

Girlhood by Melissa Febos

 

 

National Bestseller

Named a Most Anticipated Book by:
The New York Times * Buzzfeed * Time.com * OprahMag.com * The Millions * The Rumpus * LitHub * Paperback Paris * The Lily (Washington Post) * Ms. * LAMBDA Literary

A gripping set of stories about the forces that shape girls and the adults they become. A wise and brilliant guide to transforming the self and our society.

In her powerful new book, critically acclaimed author Melissa Febos examines the narratives women are told about what it means to be female and what it takes to free oneself from them.

When her body began to change at eleven years old, Febos understood immediately that her meaning to other people had changed with it. By her teens, she defined herself based on these perceptions and by the romantic relationships she threw herself into headlong. Over time, Febos increasingly questioned the stories she’d been told about herself and the habits and defenses she’d developed over years of trying to meet others’ expectations. The values she and so many other women had learned in girlhood did not prioritize their personal safety, happiness, or freedom, and she set out to reframe those values and beliefs.

Blending investigative reporting, memoir, and scholarship, Febos charts how she and others like her have reimagined relationships and made room for the anger, grief, power, and pleasure women have long been taught to deny.
Written with Febos’ characteristic precision, lyricism, and insight, Girlhood is a philosophical treatise, an anthem for women, and a searing study of the transitions into and away from girlhood, toward a chosen self.

Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion by Jia Tolentino

 

 

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “From The New Yorker’s beloved cultural critic comes a bold, unflinching collection of essays about self-deception, examining everything from scammer culture to reality television.”—Esquire

Jia Tolentino is a peerless voice of her generation, tackling the conflicts, contradictions, and sea changes that define us and our time. Now, in this dazzling collection of nine entirely original essays, written with a rare combination of give and sharpness, wit and fearlessness, she delves into the forces that warp our vision, demonstrating an unparalleled stylistic potency and critical dexterity.

Trick Mirror is an enlightening, unforgettable trip through the river of self-delusion that surges just beneath the surface of our lives. This is a book about the incentives that shape us, and about how hard it is to see ourselves clearly through a culture that revolves around the self. In each essay, Tolentino writes about a cultural prism: the rise of the nightmare social internet; the advent of scamming as the definitive millennial ethos; the literary heroine’s journey from brave to blank to bitter; the punitive dream of optimization, which insists that everything, including our bodies, should become more efficient and beautiful until we die. Gleaming with Tolentino’s sense of humor and capacity to elucidate the impossibly complex in an instant, and marked by her desire to treat the reader with profound honesty, Trick Mirror is an instant classic of the worst decade yet.

Cassandra Speaks: When Women Are the Storytellers, the Human Story by Elizabeth Lesser

 

 

What story would Eve have told about picking the apple? Why is Pandora blamed for opening the box? And what about the fate of Cassandra who was blessed with knowing the future but cursed so that no one believed her? What if women had been the storytellers?

Elizabeth Lesser believes that if women’s voices had been equally heard and respected throughout history, humankind would have followed different hero myths and guiding stories—stories that value caretaking, champion compassion, and elevate communication over vengeance and violence.

Cassandra Speaks is about the stories we tell and how those stories become the culture. It’s about the stories we still blindly cling to, and the ones that cling to us: the origin tales, the guiding myths, the religious parables, the literature and films and fairy tales passed down through the centuries about women and men, power and war, sex and love, and the values we live by.  Stories written mostly by men with lessons and laws for all of humanity. We have outgrown so many of them, and still they endure. This book is about what happens when women are the storytellers too—when we speak from our authentic voices, when we flex our values, when we become protagonists in the tales we tell about what it means to be human.

Lesser has walked two main paths in her life—the spiritual path and the feminist one—paths that sometimes cross but sometimes feel at cross-purposes. Cassandra Speaks is her extraordinary merging of the two. The bestselling author of Broken Open and Marrow, Lesser is a beloved spiritual writer, as well as a leading feminist thinker. In this book she gives equal voice to the cool water of her meditative self and the fire of her feminist self. With her trademark gifts of both humor and insight, she offers a vision that transcends the either/or ideologies on both sides of the gender debate.

Brilliantly structured into three distinct parts, Part One explores how history is carried forward through the stories a culture tells and values, and what we can do to balance the scales. Part Two looks at women and power and expands what it means to be courageous, daring, and strong. And Part Three offers “A Toolbox for Inner Strength.” Lesser argues that change in the culture starts with inner change, and that no one—woman or man—is immune to the corrupting influence of power. She provides inner tools to help us be both strong-willed and kind-hearted.

Cassandra Speaks is a beautifully balanced synthesis of storytelling, memoir, and cultural observation. Women, men and all people will find themselves in the pages of this book, and will come away strengthened, opened, and ready to work together to create a better world for all people.
