This isn't a book. It's a landscape


Robert Macfarlane: The Waterstones Interview


"The Lost Words by Robert Macfarlane is the kind of book that you need to hold in your hand to really appreciate. Twenty spells to conjure the names of common animals and plants back into our language accompanied by gorgeous paintings by Jackie Morris​. It's a book to take time over".

"That's what we wanted. Something you could enter, be lost within, be astonished by the contents".

As dores do crescimento

Sr. Sommer, por Sempé

"A modernidade virou este mundo do avesso. Convenceu as colectividades humanas de que o equilíbrio é muito mais assustador do que o caos e a cupidez, por ser um dos motores do crescimento, passou a ser uma coisa boa. Assim, a modernidade instilou nas pessoas o desejo de terem mais e desmantelou a antiga disciplina através da qual a ganância era controlada.
[...] Os filósofos do capitalismo repetiam-nos constantemente: "Não se preocupem, vai tudo correr bem. Desde que a economia cresça, a mão invisível do mercado tratará do resto." Desta forma o capitalismo consagrou um sistema caótico e voraz, que avança a passos largos sem que alguém compreenda o que se está a passar e para onde é que vamos com tanta pressa."

Cunt: A Cultural History of the C-Word

Death Jump, by Alfred Kubin


"The c-word, 'cunt', is perhaps the most offensive word in the English language, and consequently it has never been researched in depth. Hugh Rawson's Dictionary Of Invective contains the most detailed study of what he calls "The most heavily tabooed of all English words" (1989), though his article is only five pages long. Cunt: A Cultural History Of The C-Word is therefore intended as the first comprehensive analysis of this ancient and powerful word."

She got up and went away

illustration by Stevie Smith
She got up and went away
Should she not have? Not have what?
Got up and gone away.
Yes, I think she should have
Because it was getting darker.
Getting what? Darker. Well,
There was still some
Day left when she went away, well,
Enough to see the way.
And it was the last time she would have been able. . .
Able? . . . to get up and go away.
It was the last time the very last time for
After that she could not
Have got up and gone away any more.
