Jackie Kay’s new collection is a lyric counterpart to her memoir, Red Dust Road, the extraordinary story of the search for her Nigerian and Highland birth-parents; but it is also a moving book in its own right, and a deep enquiry into all forms of human friendship. Fiere – Scots for ‘companion, friend, equal’ – is a vivid description of the many paths our lives take, and of how those journeys are made meaningful by our companions on the road: lovers, friends, parents, children, mentors – as well as all the remarkable and chance acquaintances we would not otherwise have made.

In fuga dalla schiavitù, il viaggio di una madre alla ricerca dei figli e della libertà. "È questa la libertà?" si chiede Rachel, mentre corre in una foresta immersa nel buio, sola, atterrita, esausta. Sta scappando dalla piantagione in cui ha trascorso tutta la sua esistenza, da un lavoro sfibrante, da un padrone brutale. Lo stesso padrone che, quella mattina del 1834, ha annunciato la fine della schiavitù, per poi aggiungere che tutti loro avrebbero dovuto prestare servizio come apprendisti per altri sei anni. Una beffa atroce. In quell'istante, qualcosa in Rachel si è spezzato.

Der Strom richtet den Fokus auf die Wassersportbegeisterung der Londoner und zwar in aktiver wie passiver Weise. Zu einer Zeit als Die Morgenpostkutschen ein alternatives Beförderungsinstrument der Großstadt abbildeten, war es mit gewissen Unannehmlichkeiten verbunden sich einen Platz in selbigen zu sichern.

Ясмин и Джо — коллеги, молодые врачи. Невеста выросла в консервативной индийской семье, в то время как мать жениха — активная феминистка.

Story
William Wordsworth belonged to a chosen band of poets for whom poetry was a priesthood, displayed in his unerring devotion to his art. He nourished his unique poetic gift by daily intimacy with Nature. It is Wordworth’s peculiar achievement to reveal the impulses at work behind the outward beauty of Nature, and to manifest its sustaining influence upon the spirit of man.

Story
David Sterling Brown offers nothing less here than a wholesale deconstruction of whiteness in Shakespeare's plays, arguing that the 'white other' was a racialized category already in formation during the Elizabethan era—and also one to which Shakespeare was himself a crucial contributor.
