Unabridged selections from George Mallory's collected writings on his mountaineering - and his motivations. Famously impelled to climb Mount Everest simply because it was there, Mallory made three attempts to be the first to reach its summit, and perished on the third. His writing reveals the emotional life of the mountaineer. With eloquence, Mallory captures the struggles and the rewards involved, the climber's sense of triumph, and experiences of staggering beauty.

Ce recueil de textes sur la nature de George Sand, interprétés avec finesse par Marie-Christine Barrault, met en lumière l'alliage harmonieux entre la nature, l'engagement écologique et la modernité intemporelle de l'écrivaine. À travers la diversité des sujets abordés et la richesse des styles, il dévoile des facettes méconnues de son œuvre prolifique. Ses écrits sur la botanique témoignent d'une érudition remarquable en sciences naturelles, où l'observation précise de la flore se mêle à des réflexions métaphysiques empreintes de poésie.

Story0
¿Son compatibles la libertad estética y el compromiso político? McEwan reflexiona a partir de Orwell y Camus. En 1940 George Orwell publicó el ensayo "En el vientre de la ballena", en el que se pregunta cómo pueden conjugar los escritores la integridad estética y el compromiso político. ¿Son compatibles? ¿Cuál debe prevalecer por encima del otro? ¿Tiene sentido exigirle a un creador la denuncia de las injusticias del mundo? Años después, en 1957, Albert Camus, otro heterodoxo antitotalitario, y temprano denunciante del estalinismo, se planteó el mismo asunto.
