Voor het leven is er geen generale repetitie. Je hebt slechts één kans. Gelukkig zijn grote denkers je voorgegaan en kun je bij hen terecht voor wijze raad. Zo helpt Diogenes je om je authentieke zelf te zijn, Epicurus om niet te veel geld uit te geven tijdens de uitverkoop en Kant om op tijd te remmen voor een zebrapad. Maar ook minder gearriveerde denkers helpen je een handje: André Hazes daagt je uit om vrijer te worden en De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig steunt je in je verdriet. In Filosofie voor een weergaloos leven laat Lammert Kamphuis zien dat filosofie minder onbegrijpelijk en hoogdravend is dan we vaak denken. In achttien prikkelende stukken toont hij hoe zowel eeuwenoude als hedendaagse denkers je kunnen bijstaan in het alledaagse leven. Deze bundel biedt troost, geeft rust, verrijkt vriendschappen, creëert begrip voor andersdenkenden en leidt tot meer plezier in je werk. Laat je verrassen door deze toegankelijke manier van filosoferen, en ga zelf aan de slag!

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Memoir of the year' - Vogue 'A wondrous, sensuous memoir of salt-stung survival . . . clear-eyed and poetic prose' Sunday Times 'A fascinating memoir' - Daily Mail When Tamsin Calidas first arrives on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides, it feels like coming home. Disenchanted by London, she and her husband left the city and high-flying careers to move the 500 miles north, despite having absolutely no experience of crofting, or of island life. It was idyllic, for a while. But as the months wear on, the children she'd longed for fail to materialise, and her marriage breaks down, Tamsin finds herself in ever-increasing isolation. Injured, ill, without money or friend she is pared right back, stripped to becoming simply a raw element of the often harsh landscape. But with that immersion in her surroundings comes the possibility of rebirth and renewal. Tamsin begins the slow journey back from the brink. Startling, raw and extremely moving, I Am An Island is a story about the incredible ability of the natural world to provide when everything else has fallen away - a stunning book about solitude, friendship, resilience and self-discovery.

Shortlisted for the Booker International Prize. Like John Williams' Stoner or Denis Johnson's Train Dreams, A Whole Life by Robert Seethaler is a tender book about finding dignity and beauty in solitude. An exquisite novel about a simple life, it has already demonstrated its power to move thousands of readers with a message of solace and truth. It looks at the moments, big and small, that make us what we are. Andreas lives his whole life in the Austrian Alps, where he arrives as a young boy taken in by a farming family. He is a man of very few words and so, when he falls in love with Marie, he doesn't ask for her hand in marriage, but instead has some of his friends light her name at dusk across the mountain. When Marie dies in an avalanche, pregnant with their first child, Andreas' heart is broken. He leaves his valley just once more, to fight in WWII – where he is taken prisoner in the Caucasus – and returns to find that modernity has reached his remote haven . . . 'It is at once heart-rending and heart-warming. A Whole Life, for all its gentleness, is a very powerful book.' - Jim Crace, author of Harvest

An island is a cosmos in a nutshell, where the stars slumber in the grass beneath the snow. But occasionally someone tries . . . Ingrid Barrøy is born on an island that bears her name - a holdfast for a single family, their livestock, their crops, their hopes and dreams. Her father dreams of building a quay that will connect them to the mainland, but closer ties to the wider world come at a price. Her mother has her own dreams - more children, a smaller island, a different life - and there is one question Ingrid must never ask her. Island life is hard, a living scratched from the dirt or trawled from the sea, so when Ingrid comes of age, she is sent to the mainland to work for one of the wealthy families on the coast. But Norway too is waking up to a wider world, a modern world that is capricious and can be cruel. Tragedy strikes, and Ingrid must fight to protect the home she thought she had left behind.

'Wonderfully poetic ... extraordinary freshness ... a Virginia Woolf quality' Margaret Drabble It is Spring. A young woman, left by her husband, starts a new life in a Tokyo apartment. Territory of Light follows her over the course of a year, as she struggles to bring up her two-year-old daughter alone. Her new home is filled with light, streaming through the windows, so bright you have to squint, but she finds herself plummeting deeper into darkness; becoming unstable, untethered. As the months come and go, and the seasons turn, she must confront what she has lost and what she will become. At once tender and lacerating, luminous and unsettling, Territory of Light is a novel of abandonment, desire and transformation. It was originally published in twelve parts in the Japanese literary monthly Gunzo, between 1978 and 1979, each chapter marking the months in real time.

*The book that inspired the film Le Otto Montagne* For fans of Elena Ferrante and Paulo Coelho comes a moving and elegant novel about the friendship between two young Italian boys from different backgrounds and how their connection evolves and challenges them throughout their lives. “Few books have so accurately described the way stony heights can define one's sense of joy and rightness...an exquisite unfolding of the deep way humans may love one another” (Annie Proulx). Pietro is a lonely boy living in Milan. With his parents becoming more distant each day, the only thing the family shares is their love for the mountains that surround Italy. While on vacation at the foot of the Aosta Valley, Pietro meets Bruno, an adventurous, spirited local boy. Together they spend many summers exploring the mountains’ meadows and peaks and discover the similarities and differences in their lives, their backgrounds, and their futures. The two boys come to find the true meaning of friendship and camaraderie, even as their divergent paths in life—Bruno’s in the mountains, Pietro’s across the world—test the strength and meaning of their connection. “A slim novel of startling expansion that subtly echoes its setting” (Vogue), The Eight Mountains is a lyrical coming-of-age story about the power of male friendships and the enduring bond between fathers and sons. “There are no more universal themes than those of the landscape, friendship, and becoming adults, and Cognetti’s writing becomes classical (and elegant) to best tell this story…a true novel by a great writer” (Rolling Stone Italia).

**AS SEEN ON BBC2's BETWEEN THE COVERS** A Guardian Book of the Year Maggie Nelson is one of the most electrifying writers at work in America today, among the sharpest and most supple thinkers of her generation - Olivia Laing Bluets winds its way through depression, divinity, alcohol, and desire, visiting along the way with famous blue figures, including Joni Mitchell, Billie Holiday, Yves Klein, Leonard Cohen and Andy Warhol. While its narrator sets out to construct a sort of 'pillow book' about her lifelong obsession with the colour blue, she ends up facing down both the painful end of an affair and the grievous injury of a dear friend. The combination produces a raw, cerebral work devoted to the inextricability of pleasure and pain, and to the question of what role, if any, aesthetic beauty can play in times of great heartache or grief. Much like Roland Barthes's A Lover's Discourse, Bluets has passed between lovers in the ecstasy of new love, and been pressed into the hands of the heartbroken. Visceral, learned, and acutely lucid, Bluets is a slim feat of literary innovation and grace, never before published in the UK.

‘Dit is het vak dat we op school hadden moeten krijgen. Een bijzonder inspirerend en onmisbaar boek.’ – Daphne Bunskoek ‘Een feest van herkenning! Dit is een noodzakelijk boek voor mij en dit land dat zo dikwijls gevangenzit in zijn eigen gelijk.’ – Stef Bos ‘Politieke partijen die campagne gaan voeren zouden allemaal dit boek moeten lezen. Hoe kun je mensen meenemen in een ander denkproces?’ – Frits Wester Bekruipt jou soms ook het gevoel dat je altijd overal een mening over moet hebben? Ben je uitgekeken op steeds dezelfde discussies met je collega’s en de eeuwig terugkerende conflicten met je partner? Lijkt het je sterk dat er voor elk probleem slechts twee oplossingen zijn die lijnrecht tegenover elkaar staan? Tien jaar geleden brak filosoof Lammert Kamphuis met pijn en moeite los uit zijn streng religieuze milieu. Hij hoopte daarbuiten een wereld te vinden waarin mensen minder zwart-wit denken. Tot zijn verbazing ziet hij juist het tegenovergestelde gebeuren: onze samenleving gaat meer en meer lijken op de dogmatische kerk waaruit hij zich bevrijd heeft. Er is weinig aandacht voor nuance en steeds minder begrip voor andersdenkenden. In Verslaafd aan ons eigen gelijk stelt Kamphuis filosoferen voor als training om de wereld vanuit meerdere invalshoeken te bekijken. Met onverwachte experimenten, verrassend praktische tips en toegankelijke oefeningen laat hij zien hoe je geest leniger kan worden. Een must-read voor iedereen die met minder krampachtigheid en meer nieuwsgierigheid in het leven wil staan!
