Building and Dwelling - Richard Sennett - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Thank god for Richard Sennett ... essential reading for all students of the city'' Anna Minton, Prospect ''Constantly stimulating ideas from a veteran of urban thinking'' Jonathan Meades, Guardian In Building and Dwelling , Richard Sennett distils a lifetime''s thinking and practical experience to explore the relationship between the good built environment and the good life. He argues for, and describes in rich detail, the idea of an open city, one in which people learn to manage complexity. He shows how the design of cities can enrich or diminish the everyday experience of those who dwell in them.The book ranges widely - from London, Paris and Barcelona to Shanghai, Mumbai and Medellin in Colombia - and draws on classic thinkers such as Tocqueville, Heidegger, Max Weber, and Walter Benjamin. It also draws on Sennett''s many decades as a practical planner himself, testing what works, what doesn''t, and why. He shows what works ethically is often the most practical solution for cities'' problems. This is a humane and thrilling book, which allows us to think freshly about how we live in cities.''Sennett is my kind of urbanist. He sees the modern city. He reads its secrets as he walks down the street, kicking over the detritus of the past ... There is no alternative to the planner, but please a planner who has read Sennett''s book'' Simon Jenkins, Sunday Times

The Scandal of the Century - Gabriel Garcia Marquez - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A new collection of journalism from one of the great titans of 20th century literature "I don''t want to be remembered for One Hundred Years of Solitude or for the Nobel Prize but rather for my journalism," Gabriel García Márquez said in the final years of his life. And while some of his journalistic writings have been made available over the years, this is the first volume to gather a representative selection from across the first four decades of his career--years during which he worked as a full-time, often muckraking, and controversial journalist, even as he penned the fiction that would bring him the Nobel Prize in 1982. Here are the first pieces he wrote while working for newspapers in the coastal Colombian cities of Cartagena and Barranquilla . . . his longer, more fictionlike reportage from Paris and Rome . . . his monthly columns for Spain''s El País. And while all the work points in style, wit, depth, and passion to his fiction, these fifty pieces are, more than anything, a revelation of the writer working at the profession he believed to be "the best in the world." ''García Márquez always thought of himself as a journalist first and foremost and this brilliant collection goes a long way towards justifying that belief.'' Salman Rushdie

The Fall of Public Man - Richard Sennett - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Richard Sennett''s The Fall of Public Man examines the growing imbalance between private and public experience, and asks what can bring us to reconnect with our communities. Are we now so self-absorbed that we take little interest in the world beyond our own lives? Or has public life left no place for individuals to participate? Tracing the changing nature of urban society from the eighteenth century to the world we now live in, and the decline of involvement in political life in recent decades, Richard Sennett discusses the causes of our social withdrawal. His landmark study of the imbalance of modern civilization provides a fascinating perspective on the relationship between public life and the cult of the individual. ''Brilliant ...

Ironically, it may provide a key to happiness'' Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times ''A powerful argument for a more formal public culture and a swipe against the rise of a self-indulgent counter-culture'' Melissa Benn, Guardian ''A provocative book ...
