Questo libro è per chi si sente fuori posto o, come si dice in greco, atopos. Pare che uno dei primi a essere definito così sia stato Socrate, giudicato troppo strano, a volte anche fastidioso. Dopo di lui, tutti i filosofi vennero considerati atopoi. Le loro vite erano tormentate dalla ricerca di qualcosa che continuava a sfuggire e osservavano il mondo dall'esterno, senza farne mai davvero parte. Chi si sente fuori posto prova ogni giorno il doloroso desiderio di trovare un luogo da chiamare casa e vive la vita col fiato sospeso, sperando di riuscire un giorno a respirare.

Story
Immanuel Kants Schrift "Träume eines Geistersehers erläutert durch Träume der Metaphysik", erstmals erschienen 1766 in Königsberg, nimmt in der Herausbildung der kritischen Denkungsart des großen Philosophen einen wichtigen Platz ein. Denn Kant setzt sich in ihr zum einen mit der Geisterseherei Emanuel Swedenborgs wie auch mit den teils Luftschlössern gleichenden Denkgebäuden der damaligen Metaphysik auseinander, die er als "durch das blinde Vertrauen in die Scheingründe der Vernunft erzeugte Illusionen" entlarvt.

Story
Für Immanuel Kant waren seine Träume und Visionen nichts weiter als Unsinn und Hirngespinste. Balzac dagegen stellte ihn in eine Reihe mit Zarathustra, Buddha und Jesus Christus. Für die Mehrheit seiner Zeit war er ein verschrobenes Original, über dessen Berichte aus der Geisterwelt sich launig spekulieren ließ. Für viele Künstler und Intellektuelle wie August Strindberg, Ralph Waldo Emerson und Jorge Luis Borges dagegen war er eine große Gestalt des 18. Jahrhunderts, dessen umfangreiches naturwissenschaftliches und theosophisches Werk man mit vorbehaltlosem Ernst sich zu erschließen habe.

Story
We are creatures of habit, living most of our lives automatically, in small worlds of more or less comfortable routine. But sometimes outside forces compel us to adjust, and sometimes we must make changes ourselves. What happens when change disrupts our lives? This book is the first in a trilogy which offers an insight unlike any other into the human mind and heart: how we are, how we break, and how we mend. It is about all of us, humbly figuring out how to live.

Story
We say that life is priceless. Yet the cost of saving a life, creating a life or compensating for a life taken is routinely calculated and put into practice. In a world in love with data, it is possible to run a cost-benefit analysis on anything – including life itself. For philanthropists, judges, criminals, healthcare providers and government ministers, it’s just part of the job. In The Price of Life, journalist, broadcaster and documentary-maker Jenny Kleeman takes us on an adventure to meet some of the people who decide what we're worth.

Story
Tendo o príncipe necessidade de saber usar bem a natureza do animal, deve escolher a raposa e o leão, pois o leão não sabe se defender dos laços (das armadilhas) e a raposa não sabe se defender da força bruta dos lobos. Portanto, é preciso ser raposa, para conhecer as armadilhas, e leão, para aterrorizar os lobos.""Um príncipe não deve ter nenhum outro objetivo ou pensamento, nem estudar nada além da guerra e das suas regras e disciplina, pois essa é a única arte que compete a quem governa, e ela é tão forte que não apenas mantém aqueles que nascem príncipes, mas muitas vezes permite a homens de condição comum subir àquele posto.

Story
This Misery of Boots is the expansion of a 1905 essay by H.G. Wells. He presents a very interesting view of society based on Wells’ observations on boots and the misery they cause to those unable to purchase well-fitting and well-designed boots. He advocates socialism as a way to solve this and other problems. He puts forward arguments that add a voice of support to working-class people of his time. Wells was an avowed socialist.

Ele surgiu há pouquíssimo tempo e o sucesso foi estrondoso. Não dá mais para viver sem: tanto que hoje o número de aparelhos supera o de pessoas no Brasil. Mas como esse pequeno dispositivo se tornou indispensável? Além da praticidade do uso no dia a dia, o celular é ferramenta política poderosa, seja para discutir ideias, denunciar mazelas e também, por outro lado, disseminar rapidamente fake news. É esse poder que a jornalista Neuza Sanches esmiúça em um trabalho de fôlego para entender o atual cenário político brasileiro.
