Niepozorna “Książka o miłości” Olga Drenda, pisarka i autorka ”Duchologii”, hołubi rozum i analitycznie podchodzi do rzeczywistości.Małgorzata Halber to pisarka, która zasłynęła z autobiograficznej powieści “Najgorszy człowiek na świecie”, chętnie poddaje się emocjom i nie zauważa nici porozumienia między rozumem a sercem. Wspólnie rozpoczynają intymną rozmowę o miłości. Drendy i Halber rozważania o uczuciach Autorki działające na pograniczu sfer online i offline dyskutują, jak trudno wyrazić swoje uczucia w czasach, w których emocje trzymamy na wodzy w obawie przed ostracyzmem.

Kundera's essay has been written like a novel. In the course of nine separate sections, the same characters meet and cross paths with each other. Stravinsky and Kafka with their odd friends Ansermet and Brod; Hemingway with his biographer; Janácek with his little nation; and Rabelais with his heirs - the great novelists.In the light of their wisdom this book examines some of the great situations of our time. The moral trial of the twentieth century's art, from Celine to Mayakovsky; the passage of time which blurs the boundaries between the 'I' of the present day and the 'I' of the past; modesty as an essential concept in an age based on the individual and indiscretion which, as it becomes the habit and the norm, heralds the twilight of individualism; the testaments, the betrayed testaments - of Europe, of art, of the art of the novel and of artists.

Autor upraszał, by nie nazywać tego literaturą. Literaturką bardziej. Opisem sytuacji, zdarzeń, głównie jednak myśli. A myśleć miał autor czas. Prawie półtora roku. A może nawet dwa lata. Nie do końca wiadomo. Życie komika bywa smutne. Życie komika, który nie może występować na scenie, bo siedzi na wiecznej kwarantannie jest jeszcze smutniejsze. Komik w zamknięciu mówi w kółko. O tym, co powinien powiedzieć, dla kogo i dlaczego. O innych, o sobie i o Polsce. O siebie przez Polskę i o Polsce przez siebie.
“In a lyrical and hard-hitting exploration of betrayal and healing, the son of a Connecticut socialite comes to terms with his abuse at the hands of a beloved priest” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). As sixteen-year-old Aidan Donovan’s fractured family disintegrates around him, he searches for solace in a few bumps of Adderall, his father’s wet bar, and the attentions of his local priest, Father Greg—the only adult who actually listens to him. When Christmas hits, Aidan’s world collapses in a crisis of trust when he recognizes the darkness of Father Greg’s affections. He turns to a crew of new friends to help make sense of his life: Josie, the girl he just might love; Sophie, who’s a little wild; and Mark, the charismatic swim team captain whose own secret agonies converge with Aidan’s. The Gospel of Winter maps the ways love can be used as a weapon against the innocent—but can also, in the right hands, restore hope and even faith. Brendan Kiely’s unflinching and courageous debut novel exposes the damage from the secrets we keep and proves that in truth, there is power. And real love.
