Reporting from such varied locations as postcolonial Africa, revolutionary Iran, the military dictatorships of Latin America and Soviet Russia, the Polish journalist and writer Ryszard Kapuscinski was one of the most influential eyewitness journalists of the twentieth century.

Free Download Mark Kermode, "It’s Only a Movie: Reel Life Adventures of a Film Obsessive"
English | 2011 | pages: 344 | ISBN: 0099543486 | EPUB | 0,3 mb
For all those who grew up believing that Planet of the Apes explains all there is to know about politics, that Slade in Flame was a savage exposé of the pop world, and that The Exorcist revealed the meaning of life, then you probably spent far too many of your formative years at the cinema. Just as likely, you soon realized that there was only one career open to you-you’d have to become a film critic. In It’s Only a Movie, the incomparable Mark Kermode takes us into the weird world of a life lived in widescreen. Join him as he embarks on a gut-wrenching journey through the former Soviet Union on the trail of the low-budget horror flick Dark Waters, cringe as he’s handbagged by Helen Mirren at the BAFTA awards ceremony, cheer as he gets thrown out of the Cannes Film Festival for heckling in very bad French, and don’t forget to gasp as he’s shot at while interviewing Werner Herzog in the Hollywood Hills. Written with sardonic wit and wry good humor, this compelling cinematic memoir is genuinely "inspired by real events."

Free Download Marisa Meltzer, "How Sassy Changed My Life: A Love Letter to the Greatest Teen Magazine of All Time"
English | 2007 | pages: 144 | ISBN: 0571211852 | EPUB | 0,8 mb
For a generation of teenage girls, Sassy magazine was nothing short of revolutionary―so much so that its audience, which stretched from tweens to twentysomething women, remains obsessed with it to this day and back issues are sold for hefty sums on the Internet. For its brief but brilliant run from 1988 to 1994, Sassy was the arbiter of all that was hip and cool, inspiring a dogged devotion from its readers while almost single-handedly bringing the idea of girl culture to the mainstream. In the process, Sassy changed the face of teen magazines in the United States, paved the way for the unedited voice of blogs, and influenced the current crop of smart women’s zines, such as Bust and Bitch, that currently hold sway.

Free Download H. C. for Life, That Is to Say… (Meridian: Crossing Aesthetics) By Jacques Derrida
2006 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 0804754012 | PDF | 5 MB
H. C. for Life, That Is to Say . . . is Derrida’s literary critical recollection of his lifelong friendship with Hélène Cixous. The main figure that informs Derrida’s reading here is that of "taking sides." While Hélène Cixous in her life and work takes the side of life, "for life," Derrida admits always feeling drawn to the side of death. Rather than being an obvious choice, taking the side of life is an act of faith, by wagering one’s life on life. H. C. for Life sets up and explores this interminable "argument" between Derrida and Cixous as to what death has in store deep within life itself, before the end. In addition to being a memoir, it is also a theoretical confrontation―for example about the meaning of "might" and "omnipotence," and a philosophical and philological analysis of the crypts within the vast oeuvre of Hélène Cixous. Finally, the book is Derrida’s tribute to the thought of the woman whom he regards as one of the great French poets, writers, and thinkers of our time.
