Když se potkali v avantgardní londýnské galerii Indica v listopadu 1966, bylo Johnu Lennonovi dvacet šest let a už byl ,,proslulejší než Ježíš". Yoko Ono, třiatřicetiletá Japonka z newyorkské fluxusové scény, vzbuzovala rozruch a provokovala svými výstředmostmi. John Lennon a Yoko Ono zinscenovali svůj vzájemný vztah jako happening a propagovali jednotu mezi uměním a erotikou.

Jorge Luis Borges is a seminal figure in twentieth-century literature, profoundly influencing narrative art and the writing process. His impact is evident in postwar fiction, from García Márquez to Eco, despite Borges not writing a single novel. Born in Argentina to cosmopolitan parents, he developed a love for literature and an active imagination. After spending his youth in Europe, he returned to Buenos Aires in the late 1930s to pursue a writing career. His renowned collections, Ficciones and El Aleph, are known for their cryptic and imaginative storytelling, becoming benchmarks for Latin American fiction and paving the way for Magic Realism. However, Borges's fame grew slowly, and his work was not fully recognized until the 1960s. Living with his mother and facing political unpopularity, he gained international attention in his later years until his death in 1986. The first English biography since his passing reveals a complex man who shunned fame and was unaware of the literary revolution he inspired. Based on firsthand research in Buenos Aires, James Woodall portrays Borges as a young poet obsessed with Walt Whitman, a timid intellectual in love, and a literary guru seeking domestic happiness, while also exploring the dramatic backdrop of Buenos Aires during this period and Borges's dual obsessions: his celibate love for women and his disdain for Juan Perón.

What is health? What does health mean to people? How do we make sense of health and experience it? There are no simple answers to these questions. Health is complex, subjective and varied. Drawing on theory, research and contemporary debates, Ruth Cross explores the nature of health in depth and challenges our thinking about it. Moving beyond taken-for-granted assumptions, she gives the meaning of ‘health’ its due attention, exploring everyday perspectives as well as ‘expert’ medical, academic and policy understandings and approaches. In doing so, the book brings together different knowledge and expertise on health, also considering the inextricable links between human and planetary health. This book is important for all those working in the health field, or training to do so, seeking a broad understanding about health and all its complexity.
Borges Alef’te düş ile gerçek, eski ile yeni, Batı ile Doğu arasındaki ikiliklerde gidip gelen bir zenginliğin anlatısını sunuyor. Borges’in en verimli döneminde yazdığı hikâyeleri bir araya getiren Alef, İbrani alfabesinin ilk harfi olan “alef”i merkezine alarak, bizi evrenin kökenine ve sonsuzluk düşüncesine götürüyor. Alef uzay boşluğundaki tüm noktaları kapsayan bir noktadır; bu noktadan içeri bakan kişi evreni görür ve onu kucaklar. Burası, sonsuzluğun hem başladığı hem bittiği yerdir. Zaman, kimlik ve ölümsüzlük temaları çevresinde kurulan Alef, farklı gerçeklik ve anlam katmanları vaat eden bir metin. Üstelik Borges’in bu kitapta okuruna bir de sürprizi var: Modern edebiyatın zaman ve uzam sihirbazı, kitapta sadece anlatıcı olarak yer almıyor, karşımıza hikâye kahramanı olarak da çıkıyor. “Jorge Luis Borges, kaderi ince, yıkıcı ve empatik bir tanrının çizimlerine göre cisimleştirir.” RICCARDO CAMPA
