Sind wir, was wir gelesen haben? Schärft Lesen die Wahrnehmung? Den Gemeinsinn? Was geschieht im Gehirn, wenn wir lesen? Gibt es ein illegitimes Lesen? Ein ekstatisches?

Dies ist ein Lesebuch und ein Buch über das Lesen, eine Anthologie, die das welt- und selbsterschließende Abenteuer des Lesens beschreibt, seziert und feiert. Ausgehend von ihren literarischen oder wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten nehmen sich 24 Autorinnen und Autoren die Freiheit, das Thema auf ihre Weise zu behandeln: in Gestalt einer Theorie, einer Erzählung, einer Kindheitserinnerung oder als Streifzug durch die eigene Bücher- und Lesegeschichte.

It is a coming-of-age story for Generation Z. How to grow up or even live in a world where no steady jobs are available, you can’t pay your rent and can’t afford medical or living expenses. Moreover, it touches on how to be a socially engaged artist in such a world, and more so, a woman in a post-me too world? Dijana, a daughter of working-class immigrants, tells the story of her difficult childhood and adolescence, how should became a journalist and later a writer in a society full of prejudices, glass ceilings and obstacles. How she gradually became a stereotypical ‘success story’, even though she still struggles with writing, because she can’t afford a ‘room of her own’. Dijana is a daughter of working-class immigrants, who came to Slovenia in the eighties in search of a better future. The family is building a house but is made redundant from the local factory when Yugoslavia is in the midst of an economic crisis. When her parents get divorced, Dijana, her older sister and mother struggle with basic needs. She is ashamed of their poverty, her classmates bully her because of her immigrant status, but mostly because of her being ‘white trash’. In the local school she meets teachers with prejudices against immigrants, but is helped by a librarian who spots her talent. When Dijana goes to secondary school, she moves in with her older sister who lives in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Her sister is into rave culture and Dijana starts to explore experimenting with drugs, music and dance. At the secondary school, she is again considered ‘the weird kid’, as she isn’t enough of a foreigner for other immigrant kids because she is from the country, yet she isn’t Slovenian enough for other native kids. She falls even deeper into drug addiction, fails the first year of school and has to move back to live with her mother. She takes on odd jobs to make ends meet. Whilst working as a waitress she encounters sexism and sexual violence from customers and abuse from the boss. She finishes night school and graduates. She meets many ‘lost’ people of her generation along the way, who tell her their stories about precarious, minimum wage jobs, lack of opportunities, expensive rent, etc. Dijana writes for numerous newspapers but loses or quits her job, because she isn’t allowed to write the stories she wants or because of the bad working conditions or the blatant sexual harassment. Due to the high rent in the capital, Dijana has to move to the countryside to live with her mother. She feels lonely there, struggles with anxiety and cannot write a second book, because she is constantly under pressure to make a living. She realises that she must persevere regardless of the obstacles, she must follow her inner truth and by writing about it, try to create a community of like-minded people, a community of people who support each other – all literature/art is social.

Every writer has that special place where he or she can write. Writers’ Retreats explores these quirky, private, and sometimes curious places, and unveils the stories associated with them — and the literature that was conceived and written in them. Each of the 50 writers’ retreats is shown in a specially commissioned sketch by leading UK artist and illustrator Robert Littleford. The accompanying entry, meanwhile, begins with a concise summary of the writer’s life and work. The text goes on to describe how the author came to find his or her “special place” and, where possible using the writer’s own words, talks about what made that place so perfect for thinking and creating. Author Neil Burkey has also painstakingly researched the writing methods of the writers he explores — most follow a set ritual before settling down to work, while others are more eccentric in what they require to get the creativity flowing… Some writers lie down to think — with a drink and cigarette to hand, like Truman Capote — or only write from midnight onward, sustained by black coffee, in the manner of Honoré de Balzac. Without these important spaces and determined working habits, no matter how eccentric, the world would perhaps never have been able to share and delight in the works of these celebrated writers.
Il Vermouth di Torino è per eccellenza un simbolo dell’aperitivo in tutto il mondo. Nasce nel 1700 dalla maestria dei liquoristi torinesi, poi diventa un prodotto esportato ovunque.

In this clear and informed guide to the business model that’s set to dominate twenty-first-century commerce, Adam Levinter makes a compelling case that the phenomenal success of companies like Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, and Salesforce wouldn’t be possible without the foundation they all have in common: subscription. A surge of subscription boxes in 2012 earned buzz for offering everything from razors to meal kits to underwear; since then the model has proven to be adaptable, profitable, and resilient, even as many traditional retailers struggle to stay relevant in the digital economy. Levinter takes a close look at the leaders of the subscription economy to pinpoint the essential elements of the model, and prove that while the basic concept may be as old as magazines, the ubiquity of the internet is enabling a new way for businesses to scale and succeed. The Subscription Boom shows that the appeal to both customers and businesses makes subscription a smart play for virtually any business. Author: Adam Levinter is the Founder and President of Scriberbase. He has extensive experience as a founder, operator, and advisor building companies and providing strategic guidance to senior executives. Adam also teaches at the University of Toronto, and is the creator and host of the popular podcast E2: Entrepreneurs Exposed.

RUNNING ON THE SPOT (Tek na mestu) is a collection of reflections on the problems of modern society and the individual within it. The texts reflect changes in the fields of ethics, medicine, parenthood, genetics, consumerism and poverty. She talks about the anxieties faced by people on a daily basis and the painful choices that do not guarantee a less difficult future. In spite of the constant talk about the need for progress, it seems that societies are more or less running on the spot. Individuals, meanwhile, are both at work and in their private lives constantly under pressure to run better and faster than others. They work ever more so that they can consume more and sooner or later begin to consume themselves. This appears as workaholism, dependence on drugs or alcohol, and in the new symptoms such as anorexia, bulimia and other forms of self-harm.
