Vivimos inmersos en una ansiedad contagiosa que nos tiene sumidos en sentimientos de tristeza, soledad y frustración generalizada. Nos sentimos abrumados por los acontecimientos que nos rodean, por la injusticia, por el sufrimiento y por una sensación de crisis continua. Dicen que la esperanza es lo último que se pierde, pero en un mundo tan dividido, ¿cómo mantenemos la cordura? En este poderoso manifiesto de optimismo consciente, la novelista y activista nominada al Premio Booker Elif Shafak se basa en sus propios recuerdos y defiende el poder de las historias para unirnos. El desasosiego ha privado a las personas de su voz, pero si volvemos a escucharnos los unos a los otros contribuiremos a mejorar la democracia, la empatía y sobre todo a recuperar nuestra fe en un futuro más amable y sabio. No Magic Pill... but Affirming Nevertheless Review of the Wellcome Collection paperback edition (August 2020) Turkish-British author Elif Shafak (author of the Booker nominated [book:10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World|43706466] (2019)) provides an affirming essay about the importance of education and the amplifying of unheard voices in the current age. Providing a partial glimpse into her own multicultural upbringing she takes the reader through stages of "Disillusionment and Bewilderment", "Anxiety", "Anger", "Apathy" to "Information, Knowledge, Wisdom." Purposeful quotes from her own grandmother to recent writers are sprinkled throughout: 'Don't thank me, ' Grandma said. 'You focus on improving your daughter's life. We inherit our circumstances, we improve them for the next generation. I had little education, I wanted you to do better. Now you need to make sure your daughter has more than you had. Isn't this the natural way of the world? - excerpt from pg. 51 I get angry about things, then go on and work. - Toni Morrison What we call the beginning is often the end...

The must-read, pocket-sized Big Think book of 2020. It feels like the world is falling apart. So how do we keep hold of our optimism? How do we nurture the parts of ourselves that hope, trust and believe in something better? And how can we stay sane in this world of division? In this beautifully written and illuminating polemic, Booker Prize nominee Elif Shafak reflects on our age of pessimism, when emotions guide and misguide our politics, and misinformation and fear are the norm. A tender, uplifting plea for optimism, Shafak draws on her own memories and delves into the power of stories to reveal how writing can nurture democracy, tolerance and progress. And in the process, she answers one of the most urgent questions of our time. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
