Despite their phenomenal decades-long success, the Harry Potter novels have attracted relatively little attention from literary critics and scholars. This book challenges that oversight, assembling and foregrounding some of the best literary critical work by scholars trying to move the needle on these novels to reflect their importance to twenty-first-century literary culture. In Open at the Close, contributors consciously address Harry Potter primarily as a literary phenomenon rather than a cultural one.

Discover Tutti Frutti Bay in this new story, a tropical place where the Cry Babies wear fruit pajamas and everything smells great. Discover the new audiobooks full of adventure and fantasy.

There may be no more joyous iteration in all of music than 1980s hard rock. It was an era where the musical and cultural ideals of rebellion and freedom of the great rock 'n' roll of the '50s, '60s, and '70s were taken to dizzying heights of neon excess. Attention to songcraft, showmanship, and musical virtuosity (especially in the realm of the electric guitar) were at an all-time high, and radio and MTV were delivering the goods en masse to the corn-fed children of America and beyond.

Almost everyone is doing it. Aimlessly scrolling through their social media feeds. From presidents to the postmen, most people you know and probably even yourself. Mindlessly, your fingers move across the screen, and content, from selfies to memes, flickers by at a blistering pace. Why is it that the screen sometimes seems more important than looking up and being present in real life? And what does it mean that more and more people are turning into so-called "Scroll Zombies"? Sven Rollenhagen thoughtfully discusses social media use and how it affects us both psychologically and physically.

È la donna più internazionale d’Italia: cresciuta da mamme globetrotter, balie neozelandesi e specialmente dal «tato dell’Essex», la milanese va a New York con l’obiettivo di sentirsi un po’ come a Milano ma poi arreda casa propria come a Tokyo per non apparire provinciale. La mattina si sveglia e sa che deve cominciare a correre e, probabilmente, prendere un aereo. O almeno un monopattino, per lanciarsi in una giornata multiforme: immersioni nel foliage e Dinner Conversations, lecture sull’empowerment e seminario di PNL, corso di yoga e incontro galante con sex toys ultimo modello...

Gen X is the “forgotten generation.”

Jens Balzer, einer der profiliertesten deutschen Kulturjournalisten, zeichnet ein farbiges Panorama der Siebziger, von der Mondlandung und Woodstock über die Ölkrise und den Deutschen Herbst bis hin zum Nihilismus des Punk. Ein Jahrzehnt, in dem sich so ziemlich alles ändert: Die Hippies erproben unerhörte Lebensweisen, die antiautoritäre Erziehung und die Emanzipationsbewegung ordnen die Familien- und Geschlechterverhältnisse neu, weltumspannender Idealismus trifft auf apokalyptische Weltuntergangsängste, und spätestens als Hacker den ersten "Personal Computer" bauen, wird deutlich: Genau hier beginnt unsere Gegenwart.

From Brut and Paradiso Media comes a weekly deep dive into the ongoing trends and stories that matter to everyday life, from sex to politics to social media.

Award-winning author and journalist Benyamin Cohen has a bizarre side hustle as the manager of Einstein's official social media accounts, which have 20 million followers—more than most living celebrities. In The Einstein Effect, Cohen embarks on a global quest to unearth Einstein's ongoing relevance today. Along the way, he meets scientists and celebrities, speaks to dozens with the last name Einstein (including two rabbis), and even tracks down the brain of Einstein, stolen from his body during the autopsy

Marvel Comics in the 1970s explores a forgotten chapter in the story of the rise of comics as an art form. Bridging Marvel's dizzying innovations and the birth of the underground comics scene in the 1960s and the rise of the prestige graphic novel and postmodern superheroics in the 1980s, Eliot Borenstein reveals a generation of comic book writers whose work at Marvel in the 1970s established their own authorial voice within the strictures of corporate comics.

Questo ragazzo deve tutto al suo nome diceva di lui Marco Antonio, che lo disprezzava, a torto sottovalutandolo. Però era vero, e Augusto ne era talmente consapevole da affrettarsi a promuovere, non appena gli fu possibile, la divinizzazione di Giulio Cesare, padre suo adottivo, come caposaldo del suo potere. Il capolavoro di Augusto è stato imporre l'immagine di sé come vero e coerente erede e continuatore dell'opera di Cesare, ormai divinizzato, mentre in realtà la trasformava, se non nel suo contrario, certo in altro.

Il cane giusto (un bassotto con "amici" selezionatissimi). Le vacanze giuste (una scelta di campo: Santa o Forte?). La scuola giusta per il figlio (in lingua straniera, of course). La festa di Natale giusta (verso metà ottobre, per battere l'affollamento di inviti festivi). E gli abbinamenti cromatici da evitare, il galateo delle comunicazioni via WhatsApp, gli indirizzi da avere in agenda, i quartieri dove cercare casa, i mestieri socialmente accettabili, la cura di sé tra estratti di verdure e indispensabile "idratazione"... mettetevi comode, perché essere milanese è un lavoro a tempo pieno.

Life in Yellow is a collection of free-verse poetry that tries to capture the life of a writer, who lives in a world where trends, colors, fashion, and technology are changing very fast, and where the meaning of life changes from one year to the next. He lives on Earth in an alternate future and is a well-known author of fiction prose and free-verse poetry living in the United States of All Colors. Contacted by a literary agent that lived more than a hundred light-years from him, he agrees to write a poem book that describes the society in which he lives, for substantial compensation.

In his first memoir, Ander Monson guides listeners through a scene-by-scene exploration of the 1987 film Predator, which he has watched 146 times. Some fighters might not have time to bleed, but Monson has the patience to consider their adventure, one frame at a time. He turns his obsession into a lens through which he poignantly examines his own life, formed by mainstream white male American culture.
