For the British architect John Pawson, minimalism isn't just a design philosophy, but a life philosophy—with his 1996 book, Minimum, serving as a defining jumping-off point. Over the course of more than four decades, Pawson has quietly amassed a global following by distilling spaces, objects, and things down to their most essential. With projects ranging from his career-defining Calvin Klein Collection flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York City, completed in 1995, to a remote monastery complex in the Czech Republic he's been building for Cistercian monks of the Trappist order for more than 25 years; from hotels in Los Angeles, Madrid, and Tel Aviv to London's Design Museum; from private homes in Colorado, Greece, Japan, Sweden, and beyond, to a chair and cookware; from lamps and linens to doorknobs, bowls, to even a steak knife, Pawson's tightly focused yet seemingly boundless practice places him in a category all his own.On the episode—our fourth “site-specific” taping of Time Sensitive, recorded at Pawson's country home in the Cotswolds—he discusses the problems he sees with trying to turn minimalism into a movement; his deep-seated belief in restraint, both in life and in architecture; and his humble, highly refined approach to creating sacred spaces.Special thanks to our Season 11 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:[08:06] Tetsuka House (2005)[08:06] “John Pawson's Approach to Making Life Simpler”[08:06] Shiro Kuramata[08:06] Katsura Imperial Villa[08:06] North York Moors[12:41] “Minimum” (1996)[12:41] Sen no Rikyū[17:35] Calvin Klein Collections Store (1995)[17:35] Ian Schrager[17:35] Paul Goldberger[17:35] Cathay Pacific (1998)[20:59] “Elements of Style” (1959) by William Strunk Jr. and E.B.

On this episode, we're joined by author and international human rights barrister Philippe Sands to talk about his latest book, 38 Londres Street, a gripping exploration of justice, memory, and impunity through the intertwining stories of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet and Nazi fugitive Walter Rauff who spent decades in Chile avoiding extradition.We consider the groundbreaking legal concept of universal jurisdiction through the lens of Pinochet's dramatic 1998 arrest in London—a defining moment that transformed international justice—and what it means for the complex geopolitics of today. Drawing inspiration from literary figures like Roberto Bolaño, Bruce Chatwin, and Ariel Dorfman, Sands blends detective-style nonfiction with profound moral complexity, tracing the ominous echoes among Nazi Germany, fascism, and the Cold War. He also tells us about the book's sensational reception in Chile, where the effects of his reporting have reignited long-suppressed debates about accountability and national memory. In typical fashion, we also cover everything from Pinochet's visit to Hatchards a few days before his arrest—where he reportedly bought every book he could find on Napoleon—to his compulsive viewing of Star Wars films while awaiting trial.

Buon Lunedì Amici e buon inizio settimana! Oggi vi parlo di un libro che vi farà viaggiare, se non altro con la mente, tra gli sconfinati territori delle Antiche Tribù: "Le Vie dei Canti" del grande Bruce Chatwin, per Adelphi Edizioni. Buon ascolto e buona lettura!

Clare meets a passionate proponent of walking today on a hike around Capel y ffin and the Twmpa in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park. Andrew Green has just published a book called Voices on the Path, a History of Walking in Wales and for him it's not just a case of putting one foot in front of the other and admiring the scenery, it's “an activity loaded with all kinds of social, cultural and economic associations”. Their immediate surroundings have long attracted writers and artists from across the generations including William and Dorothy Wordsworth, JMW Turner, Bruce Chatwin and Allen Ginsberg. Also drawn to the beauty of Capel y ffin was the poet and painter, David Jones, described in 1965 as the 'best living British painter' by the then Director of the National Gallery. Peter Wakelin's book 'Hill Rhythms' tells Jones' story, which he wanted to share with Clare on the walk but a twisted ankle meant he had to remain at base, however he used the time to seek out the potential location of one of Jones's best loved paintings.They met at the tiny Capel-y-ffin chapel on the Monmouthshire/Powys border and walked up the Twmpa - also known as Lord Hereford's Knob - in the Black Mountains returning via the valley of Nant Bwch. A walk of just over six miles. Grid Ref for where they met: SO253316Presenter: Clare Balding Producer: Karen Gregor

Francoski pisatelj Xavier de Maistre je ob koncu 18. stoletja ustvaril enega najbolj nenavadnih pa tudi vznemirljivih potopisov v zgodovini evropske literatureMed potopisi, ki so se z zlatimi črkami vpisali v zgodovino evropskih književnosti, ni težko opaziti nekakšne korelacije med eksotično naravo destinacije potovanja, ki ga pisci popisujejo, na eni strani in, na drugi, literarno slavo. Pomislimo: Marco Polo je potoval na Kitajsko, Anton Čehov na Sahalin, Bruce Chatwin v Patagonijo. Pa še in še bi lahko naštevali. A če je to nekakšno pravilo, tedaj bi mu lahko hitro poiskali tudi kakšno izjemo … Goethejevo italijansko potovanje, denimo, ali pa Saramagovo vandranje po Portugalski. In vendar se zdi, da v tem smislu nihče ne more preseči francoskega pisatelja Xaviera de Maistra, ki je v literarni kanon vstopil tako, da je popisal potovanje, ki ga je opravil – po svoji sobi! Toda: ali to sploh še lahko imenujemo potovanje? In če ja, kaj neki se lahko popotniku zgodi na, kot se zdi na prvi pogled, kratki in premočrtni poti, ki vodi od okna do knjižne police, od naslanjača do mize? Prav to sta tudi vprašanji, ki sta nas zaposlovali v tokratnem Kulturnem fokusu, ko smo pred mikrofonom gostili dr. Primoža Viteza, francista, predavatelja na Oddelku za romanske jezike in književnosti ljubljanske Filozofske fakultete, ki je za legendarno knjižno edicijo Kondor ob koncu lanskega leta pripravil prevod de Maistrovega Popotovanja po moji sobi. foto: ddcoverart / Pixabay

With THE NOTEBOOK: A History of Thinking on Paper (Biblioasis), Roland Allen explores how the proliferation of paper & binding changed culture, business, and maybe the nature of human consciousness. We talk about how keeping a diary got him obsessed-ish with notebooks, how he found a narrative and protagonists as he delved into the history of notebooks, and what it means to see the notebook as a piece of technology/hardware. We get into their influence on art and the Renaissance (and the theory that sketchbooks allowed artists to move toward realism), how diaries created a new, private persona distinct from the public self, how he discovered a new reading for a line of Hamlet, and how digital options never manage to replace the paper notebook. We also discuss how Moleskine came to dominate the notebook market and how Bruce Chatwin's The Songlines jumpstarted their craze, how Roland learned to switch off the "this isn't interesting" filter in his own diaries, how writing this book made him a better notebooker, the way Dutch album amicorum (friendship books) served as a social media precursor, how our notebooks can outlive us (and his posthumous plans for his diaries), and a lot more.

Jeremy Langmead is one of the founders of the global men's e-tailer, Mr Porter, part of the YOOX Net-a-Porter Group. He joined in 2010 to help launch the e-commerce business in 2011 and oversaw the design, branding, content, social, communications and events teams for a number of years.Jeremy has also served as chief content officer at Christie's, launched LUXX magazine for The Times in 2017, and was previously editor-in-chief of Esquire, Wallpaper and the Sunday Times Style magazines.Today Jeremy consults for a number of fashion and grooming brands; writes for The Times Saturday magazine, a grooming column for The Times' LUXX magazine, the Telegraph, and has published a book on male vanity called “Vain Glorious;” and is the co-host of the podcast “How Long Have We Got?” with his friend Sarah Edmundson.   In this episode, Jeremy tells host Anne V Mühlethaler about his tumultuous childhood, filled with numerous stepfathers and a desire to create perfect worlds as a means of escape. Jeremy recounts his early days in fashion, his time at Central St Martin's and the career progression that led him from newspapers and magazines to Mr Porter (and the Mr Porter Post). From his move from the global e-tailer to Christie's and back, he shares the lessons he's learned and the importance of innovation and storytelling in his professional journey. Jeremy candidly shares with Anne his battle with prostate cancer, offering a raw and honest look at the challenges he faced. His diagnosis became a focal point for raising awareness about the importance of early detection in prostate cancer (check your PSAs, he reminds our listeners), which is what led him to write publicly about his experience for the Times and the Saturday Times Magazine. He explains how he met his friend and co-host Sarah and how the two of them decided to start a podcast that tries to “take the kerfuffle out of cancer,” in their own words. Jeremy emphasises the complexities of living (and working) while in treatment, including how his relationship with his body has changed. He and Anne discuss how we can harness the power of storytelling to support patients in their health journeys and the crucial importance of cancer literacy.Throughout the discussion, Jeremy talks about the intersection of vanity and authenticity, particularly as a gay man in the fashion world. He shares stories with Anne about his own experiences with male grooming (from hair transplant to eyelash dying) and explores the societal perceptions of vanity, encouraging men to embrace their desires to look and feel good without shame. While the topic of the episode is serious at times, Jeremy shares his story with humour, tact and warmth, understanding the significant influence that the podcast has on the cancer community and those close to someone living with the illness.   By sharing his story, Jeremy not only raises awareness for early testing in prostate cancer, but also offers inspiration to listeners to find beauty and meaning in their journeys, regardless of the obstacles they may face.An inspiring conversation that shows how humour, resilience and storytelling go hand in hand.Selected links from episode:Out of the Clouds website: https://outoftheclouds.com/Out of the Clouds on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_outofthecloudsThe Mettā View website: https://avm.consulting/metta-viewAnne on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annvi/Anne on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@annviAnne on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-v-muhlethaler/Jeremy on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/jeremylangmeadJeremy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeremylangmead/Jeremy and Sarah's podcast How Long Have You GotHow Long Have You Got on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/howlonghaveyougot2024/Jeremy's first article for the TimesJeremy's follow up article about the podcast with Sarah EdmundsonDeath Dula Alua Arthur's TED talkMacMillan Cancer Support Breast Cancer Support NowWhat song best represents him : Pet Shop Boys ‘It's a sin' and ‘being boring' Here you can find the Out of the Clouds playlist containing the songs chosen by the guests who answered the question: ‘What Song Best Represents You?' Favorite books Truman Capote's In Cold Blood and Bruce Chatwin's What Am I Doing Here?  Cancer Centre at Guy's Hospital***Are you curious about Anne's Coaching & Consulting:Feeling lost or burnt out?

Recorded at the Hay FestivalSHUGGIE BAIN by Douglas Stewart ON THE BLACK HILL by Bruce Chatwin AGAINST NATURE by Joris-Karl HuysmansHarriett Gilbert takes to the stage in the BBC Marquee at the Hay Festival for a special edition of the programme recorded in front of an audience. Actor and writer Doon Mackichan known for her outrageous character Cathy in the sitcom Two Doors Down chooses Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stewart as her good read. It's a touching but heartbreaking tale of a young Glaswegian boy's desperate efforts to save his mother Agnes from the alcoholism that ruins and degrades her. It won the Booker Prize in 2020. As we're in Wales Harriett's fitting choice is Bruce Chatwin's On The Black Hill an account of rural Welsh life in the mid 20th century. It's the story of two brothers' lives over 80 years and their connection to land and community. Bruce Robinson actor, director and writer of the hit film Withnail and I which has been adapted for stage chooses a book that features in the final scene of the film. The I character places two books in a suitcase at the end of the film, one of which is A Rebours - Against Nature by Joris-Karl Huysmans. Bruce confesses that he's not the book's biggest fan but the ensuing discussion provides an entertaining insight into books we might read when we're younger and how differently we feel about them in later life. It's the story of an eccentric recluse Jean des Esseintes in 19th century France who loathes people and creates a fantasy world for himself but ultimately suffers from his self-inflicted pretentious ennui. "I wish I hadn't chosen this book" proclaims Bruce Robinson as he introduces it. "I wish you hadn't chosen it" agrees Doon Mackichan. They then elicit a lot of audience laughter from their deconstruction of this seminal French novel that all three find pretentious.This is a longer version of the broadcast programme.Producer: Maggie Ayre

“These are the days in our lives that we remember. It's not all the days that went so well. It's the days when you're miserable, when you think you can't go one more step, and then you swear at somebody, and then you keep going. Those are the days that form our spines. They have formed my spine.” - Kris Tompkins Kris Tompkins has spent a lifetime fighting tooth and nail to protect wild lands. In 1993, she stepped down as CEO of outdoor apparel brand Patagonia, and moved to the edge of a windswept road-less fjord in the northern end of Patagonian Chile with her late husband Doug Tompkins (the founder of North Face). There, they began to dream up one of the most audacious conservation visions ever conceived. It would culminate, more than 25 years later, in the largest private land donation in history, the creation of one of the most spectacular national parks in the world and the launch of the wildest road trip on the planet: the Route of Parks. This story is about the realization of that vision.  But it's also a story about wild nature, and living a wild life. Bruce Chatwin called Patagonia: “The furthest place to which Man has walked from his place of Origin.” Patagonia is one of the world's last frontiers, a place where your fantasies of adventure are dwarfed by the staggering immensity on every bend.  Kris's story will inspire you connect more deeply with the planet, fight for what you believe in, and explore the jagged spires and turquoise rivers of the Route of Parks for yourself. "There is no question that when you put yourself out into these very extreme circumstances, or places on earth, you are changed for the rest of your life. And half the time, you can't explain in any language, what's happened to you. And I think that's actually a good sign, because you're seeing things through a lens that's so raw that it brings out genes in us that are most ancient, the most fundamental. And that's why I like it so much, because I don't really want to have a simple life. I'm not interested in going on vacations and sitting by the sea … I like to go to places that make you feel unbelievably tiny.” CONNECT Learn more about Kris and her work at Tompkins Conservation on their website, TompkinsConservation.org. Patagonia recently released a beautiful book, called Patagonia National Park: Chile, and it includes essays and photos from Kris, the former Chilean president, Patagonia's founder, and more.

Susannah Clapp i samtal med Björn Linell och Kristian Petri. Uppläsning Av Adam Stone - Till minne av Bruce Chatwin. Internationell författarscen den 21 april 1999.

Deng Xiaoping's 1992 Southern Tour has become a milestone in Chinese economic history. Historians and commentators credit Deng's visit to Guangzhou Province for reinvigorating China's market reforms in the years following 1989—leading to the Chinese economic powerhouse we see today. Journalist Jonathan Chatwin follows Deng's journey in The Southern Tour: Deng Xiaoping and the Fight for China's Future (Bloomsbury Academic, 2024). Chatwin follows Deng—from its start in Wuhan, through the Special Economic Zones of Shenzhen and Zhuhai, and back up to Shanghai—and explains how a savvy Deng, then out of office, got China's leaders to embrace market reforms again. Jonathan Chatwin is a non-fiction writer and journalist. His work has appeared in CNN, the South China Morning Post and the BBC. He is the author of Long Peace Street: A Walk in Modern China (Manchester University Press: 2019) and Anywhere Out of the World: The Work of Bruce Chatwin (Manchester University Press: 2012).

In an effort to create the want and desire to face the day (as we all must do) there are tricky little lines that we straddle to find success. Enjoy!

All over the map on this one today but I was obsessed with the phrase “be water” so I tried to make a consistent thread with it as the subject. Enjoy!

We see notebooks everywhere we go. But where did this simple invention come from? How did they revolutionise our lives, and why are they such powerful tools for creativity? And how can using a notebook help you change the way you think? In The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper (Profile Books, 2023), Roland Allen reveals all the answers. Ranging from the bustling markets of mediaeval Florence to the quiet studies of our greatest thinkers, he follows a trail of dazzling ideas, revealing how the notebook became our most dependable and versatile tool for creative thinking. He tells the notebook stories of artists like Leonardo and Frida Kahlo, scientists from Isaac Newton to Marie Curie, and writers from Chaucer to Henry James. We watch Darwin developing his theory of evolution in tiny pocketbooks, see Agatha Christie plotting a hundred murders in scrappy exercise books, and learn how Bruce Chatwin unwittingly inspired the creation of the Moleskine. On the way we meet a host of cooks, kings, sailors, fishermen, musicians, engineers, politicians, adventurers and mathematicians, who all used their notebooks as a space for thinking and to shape the modern world. In an age of AI and digital overload, the humble notebook is more relevant than ever. Allen shows how bullet points can combat ADHD, journals can ease PTSD, and patient diaries soften the trauma of reawakening from coma. The everyday act of moving a pen across paper can have profound consequences, changing the way we think and feel: making us more creative, more productive - and happier. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Gonçalo Cadilhe conta-nos das muitas voltas que já deu, do que sente mais falta quando viaja, o que sente mais falta quando volta a casa e, claro, de muitos livros. Neste episódio, Hugo e Gonçalo desencontraram-se nos seguintes livros: - A Lua Pode Esperar, Gonçalo Cadilhe. - Anatomia da Errância, Bruce Chatwin (1997). - Bruce Chatwin (1940-1989), ensaios. - Na Patagónia (1977), Bruce Chatwin. - Que Faço Eu Aqui (1989), Bruce Chatwin, póstumo. - O Céu Que nos Protege, Paul Bowles (1954) - Peregrinação, Fernão Mendes Pinto (1614, 30 anos depois de morrer), Índia, China e Japão. - Planisfério Pessoal, Gonçalo Cadilhe (2005), viagem pelo mundo sem aviões.

Bruce Chatwin's first book — In Patagonia — changed our idea of what travel writing could be. He was a traveler, an art expert whose keen eye for fakes made him a star at Sotheby's, and to those who knew him, a perpetual house guest and mesmerizing conversationalist. His friend and editor Susannah Clapp joined me to talk about Chatwin's unforgettable writing style, and his lifelong obsession with nomads.

I'm delighted to be joined on the fourth episode of A Life Curated by internationally renowned minimalist architect John Pawson.Born in Halifax and schooled at Eton, John spent time working for his family's textile business before leaving for Japan in his mid-twenties, spending the final year in Tokyo where he visited the studio of Shira Kuramata, who was to be a huge influence on his career.Inspired by the minimalistic aesthetic he had witnessed, and after a few pit stops around the world, including a dalliance with Liza Minelli in Australia and an attempt at becoming a monk, upon his return to the UK he enrolled at the Architectural Association School of Architecture, leaving in 1981 to set up his own practice.Although private houses have remained at the core of his practice, John's projects have been wide ranging including the Lake Crossing bridge at Kew Gardens, hotels for Aby Rosen, a flagship store for Calvin Klein, projects for Ian Schrager, Bruce Chatwin, Karl Lagerfeld, a Cistercian monastery in Bohemia, The Jaffa hotel in Israel, and in 2016 John designed the new Design Museum in London. Most recently John also designed the Claridge's Artspace Gallery.A recipient of a long list of awards, including a CBE in 2019 for services to design and architecture, John has also been published several times, including a foray into cook books, John's latest book ‘Making Life Simpler 'published by Phaidon was released last month.John is also an avid photographer, his photos being exhibited at 180 Strand in June 2022, as part of a ‘A Shade of Pale' exhibition, the largest exhibition of photos per acreage ever exhibited.Recorded from John's office in King's Cross, my name is Nolan Browne, I'm an art advisor with a podcast, this is A Life Curated.

Escucha en Spotify o tu plataforma favorita de podcast la historia de los relatos que cuentan el mundo con Juliana Gonzalez Rivera, doctora en Periodismo y especialista en literatura de viajes. El viaje es aventura, conquista, búsqueda, huida, partida y regreso. Viajantes fueron, entre tantos otros, Alexander von Humboldt, Margarite Yourcenar, Ulises y Marco Polo. Lo fue Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, piloto y escritor, quien decía haber sentido el golpe del viaje bajo la noche estrellada del desierto del Sahara. Viajan las mariposas monarca, las ballenas, el gaviotín ártico. Viajeros somos los hombres y las mujeres en nuestros barrios, nos movemos como un caminante que, en palabras de David Le Breton, anda por la ciudad como lo haría por un bosque: dispuesto al descubrimiento. El viajé empezó en las cuevas, con los hombres nómadas del 45.000 a.C. que convivían con mamuts, rinocerontes lanudos y tigres dientes de sable. “Su patria era la tierra entera. Una tierra libre de estados y pasaportes”, dice González-Rivera. El mundo visto fue grabado en las cavernas y estos primeros registros son también los inicios del viajero como traductor y testigo. Porque quienes cuentan el mundo son los viajeros. Grabados, postales, objetos entrañables que guardamos con celo nos llevan a destinos distantes más allá de la memoria. El novelista Bruce Chatwin sería provocado por un trozo de piel de dinosaurio que encontró en la casa de su abuela y que lo llevaría hasta la Patagonia. La relación de Juliana González- Rivera con el viaje empezó a los 18 años. Ahora, luego de visitar más de 40 países, ha escrito dos libros: La invención del viaje y Viajar y contarlo: Estrategias narrativas del escritor viajero. Iremos de las primeras civilizaciones a la Edad media, en el esplendor de un tiempo de infinitos viajes. Seguiremos las rutas de los mercaderes, sabremos que el viaje es placer y que vale la pena caminar la ciudad con ojos limpios, como paseantes urbanos y cazadores de imágenes.

Es wird weihnachtlich in der 66. Folge von Hanser Rauschen. Denn der Sommerurlaub scheint noch gar nicht so lange her, der Herbst ist auf ein paar sonnige Tage und bunte Blätter zusammengeschnurrt und wie alle Jahre ist der Dezember recht plötzlich gekommen. Weihnachten steht also vor der Tür und damit auch die Frage: Was schenken? Den Geschwistern, den Eltern, der Partner:in, Freund:innen, entfernten Verwandten. Und auch vielleicht die Frage: Mit welchem Smalltalk glänzen auf der Weihnachtsfeier? Oder auch: Was machen in der stillen Zeit zwischen den Jahren? Die Antwort auf all das, wie könnte sie in diesem Podcast auch anders lauten: Bücher – und Lesen. Aber: Welches Buch ist für welche Person das geeignetste?

[#3] Enrico Quaroni (@enricoquaroni) racconta a Lorenzo Danese (@lnzdanese) il proprio percorso imprenditoriale, dalla prima esperienza lavorativa in Indonesia nel 2006 fino alla fondazione della societá di consulenza Chatwin, creata per aiutare imprese tecnologiche a scalare. Enrico la chiama cosí in onore al viaggiatore e scrittore Bruce Chatwin perchè "fare un'azienda è un viaggio, il viaggio è spesso periglioso e una guida, senza togliere tutta l'avventura, rende il viaggio meno rischioso e piú gradevole". Nella chiacchierata vengono ripercorsi 15 anni di digital advertising e business internazionale fatti di scoperte, delusioni, fatica e incredibili soddisfazioni. 

'Bruce Chatwin turned down the Thomas Cook Travel Book of the Year award, and its cheque, because, he averred, ‘I'm not a travel writer'. 'One cannot deny the existence of a genre hierarchy among writers. Bruce Chatwin turned down the Thomas Cook Travel Book of the Year award, and its cheque, because, he averred, ‘I'm not a travel writer'. The genre was beneath him.

Au panthéon des écrivains voyageurs, le Britannique Bruce Chatwin tient une place résolument à part. Consacré chef de file dans les années 80 du « travel writing », il refusait cependant ce terme qu'il jugeait insignifiant. En même temps, l'auteur de « En Patagonie » ou du « Chant des pistes », avec ses allures de dandy baroudeur, a envoyé un paquet de voyageurs, sac au dos, sur les pistes argentines ou australiennes. Fasciné par le mode de vie nomade, Bruce Chatwin était toujours sur le départ ou de retour de quelque part. Mort en 1989 à 48 ans, il a donc fait de sa courte vie un voyage, une errance, de l'Italie au Soudan, de l'Afghanistan au Bénin, de la Grèce au Brésil. Ce faisant, il ne cessait d'écrire et de nourrir par le mouvement, l'étude et les rencontres, la matière de ses prochaines histoires, des récits souvent de vies lointaines et fascinantes. Plus de 30 ans après sa disparition, suivez-nous avec Jennifer Lesieur, auteure de « Tu marcheras dans le soleil », une biographie très personnelle de l'écrivain, sur les pas de cet esthète aventurier tout aussi impatient qu'érudit, qui avait en horreur le domicile et la vie sédentaire.

Alessandro Vanoli"Altri orizzonti"camminare, conoscere, scoprireMarco Aime, Duccio Demetrio, Adriano Favole, Vera Gheno, Marco Vannini, Alessandro VanoliUtet Librihttps://www.utetlibri.it/Dialoghi di Pistoiahttps://www.dialoghidipistoia.it/Mettersi in viaggio per scoprire il mondo e se stessi, è stato questo anelito a segnare l'evoluzione del genere umano. Il cammino verso nuovi orizzonti, il pellegrinaggio degli studiosi, l'avventura degli esploratori. È il movimento ad averci reso umani, e l'esigenza di andare oltre il qui e ora alla ricerca di forme di spiritualità, di nuovi incontri, di altri orizzonti geografici, linguistici o filosofici è il fil rouge di questo volume.Sei interventi per approfondire il tema del cammino: Marco Aime ci racconta la storia di due donne che a inizio Novecento sfidarono l'ambiente maschile dell'antropologia per uscire dall'accademia ed effettuare ricerche sul campo; Duccio Demetrio descrive la relazione tra pensiero e cammino, individuando nel movimento la metafora filosofica della condizione umana; Adriano Favole esamina i resoconti di viaggio di Bruce Chatwin per ritrovare quel senso del vagabondaggio che può aiutarci a esaminare il presente e reimparare a spostarci in un mondo postpandemico; Vera Gheno osserva il vagare inafferrabile della lingua, necessario per districarci nella complessità del presente; Marco Vannini parte dall'ascesa di Petrarca al Monte Ventoso per parlarci dell'allargamento degli orizzonti esteriori, punto di vista privilegiato sull'interiorità per conoscere veramente la propria anima; infine, Alessandro Vanoli spazia dalla leggenda di Sindbad al Milione di Marco Polo per mostrarci come la mente umana abbia sempre immaginato mondi favolosi prima ancora di osservarli, e come sia stato il potere della fantasia a spingerci oltre l'ignoto.Un'antologia che supera i confini tra le discipline per affrontare il rapporto tra movimento e conoscenza, perché muoversi è l'unica possibilità per allargare sempre più l'orizzonte di quel che sappiamo.In collaborazione con festival Dialoghi di Pistoia www.dialoghidipistoia.itGli interventi:Marco Aime, Lettere da Sanga.

I will admit that until I had read William Dalrymple, I knew little of the history of Delhi, which is inextricable from the history of India.Although I lived in New Delhi for eight years, all I ever knew about the history of India—my country—was what was taught to me by middle school history teachers. They regurgitated dry passages from textbooks.There was no romance in the way we were taught history.So when I lived in Delhi—right in the heart of visible history with crumbling moments and all—I couldn't get past those apathetic and uncurious history text books.And then I left Delhi to move to Bangalore.And then Dalrymple happened. In the decades that he unravelled Delhi for me, it morphed from a city that I only knew as too expensive for my modest salary, to a city that hell, had djinns in it. Djinns with a D.The more I listened to William Dalrymple as I interviewed him today, the more I appreciated his sentient feel for history. A feeling that makes humans out of historical personalities.For this reason probably, when I first read City of Djinns, I will confess to an inexplicable sense of envy—as if I should and could have  written that book…an “I wish I had said that” feeling.But I had no such flights of fancy reading everything else he has written, most recently, Anarchy, an account of the East India Company and what happens when there is no separation between…er…merch and state.Dalrymple's prose is compelling and direct and that makes his books that much more engaging.Let's find out what else makes him one of the most respected writers of the history of India and the entire region of its historical influence.So it is my privilege to welcome William Dalrymple to The Literary City.REFERENCES:William Dalrymple: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Dalrymple_(historian)Bruce Chatwin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_ChatwinBuy The Company Quartet: https://amzn.to/3K2Z7AVBuy William Dalrymple (all books): https://amzn.to/3OwfbyoBuy Hobson Jobson: https://amzn.to/3rHupa7Buy In Patagonia: https://amzn.to/3KcEkL4Shengdu: Xanadu"Gone to Shengdu": This is to paraphrase the note that Bruce Chatwin allegedly left for his boss that read, "Gone to Patagonia".WHAT'S THAT WORD?! - HOBSON JOBSONCo-host Pranati "Pea" Madhav joins Ramjee Chandran in the segment "What's That Word?", where they discuss the the book Hobson-Jobson and how it came to be.WANT TO BE ON THE SHOW?If you have a word, expression or phrase you would like to know more about, we would love to have you join us live on the show.

“To lose a passport was the least of one's worries,” wrote Bruce Chatwin, “to lose a notebook was a catastrophe.” In this episode Seamus and Blake venture into the far reaches of travel literature, that roving genre where writers are always on the move and no book is contained by its borders. Some of the books discussed in this episode include:  Baudelaire  "Twilight in Italy" by D. H. Lawrence  "Songlines" by Bruce Chatwin  "Travels with Herodotus" by Ryszard Kapuściński "The Odyssey" by Homer  "Democracy in America" by Alexis de Tocqueville  "Sinbad" by Kurt Vonnegut  "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson  "Black Lamb and Grey Falcon" by Rebecca West  "The Turn of the Screw" by Henry James Email: seamusandblake@gmail.com  IG: https://www.instagram.com/on.the.same.page.podcast/ #bookpodcast #podcast #henryjames #rebeccawest #robertluisstevenson #kurtvonnegut #travelswithherodotus #songlines #brucechatwin #twilightinitaly #dhlawrence #baudelaire "democracyinamerica #alexisdetocqueville #travelwriting #travel #travelliterature #travelbooks #booksabouttravel 

For our final episode of 2021, we decide to broaden out a personal tradition and share it with listeners... we each share our 10 favorite reading experiences of the year, and discuss why these books made a lasting mark on us. Our choices are not at all limited to books that came out in 2021, but could be any book of any genre from any year. These books were "buried in our heads like a stinger" (to borrow from Flannery O'Connor) and just would not let go, no matter what else we might have consumed. We want to offer a sincere THANK YOU to anyone who chose to spend some of their valuable time listening to us blather on about books this year... we do not take your listening for granted, and while the twinly conversation would go on regardless, it has been humbling and heartening to receive all of your positive feedback about the show. We wish you all a very happy and restorative holiday season, and we'll be talking to you again in 2022!

Changan Jie, or Long Peace Street, stretches across central Beijing. Along it are several critical historical sites, including Zhongnanhai, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City: all important to Beijing's history as the center of Imperial, Republican and then Communist China. Jonathan Chatwin, in his book Long Peace Street: A Walk in Modern China (Manchester University Press, 2019), recently published in paperback, uses the road as a way to present the modern history of Beijing and China. Starting at the street's beginning at the former Capital Iron and Steel works, Chatwin takes the reader on a journey along Long Peace Street and through China's political history, as it changes from a declining empire to a fast-growing and increasingly confident Communist state. The centerpiece of the book is the Forbidden City, which Jonathan recently wrote about for CNN: “Forbidden City at 600: How China's imperial palace survived against the odds”. In this interview, I ask Jonathan to chart this journey along Long Peace Street for us, talking about both the major sites we may have seen on our own journeys to Beijing, and some of the less well-known yet equally interesting points along this road. We talk about some of his own personal experiences writing the book, and Beijing's relationship to its past. Jonathan Chatwin is a travel writer and journalist. His essays and articles have been published by the South China Morning Post, the British Film Institute, The Los Angeles Review of Books amongst other publications. He is also the author of Anywhere Out of the World: The Work of Bruce Chatwin (Manchester University Press: 2017), as well as the host of The Southern Tour Podcast‬, which examines China's reform and opening, through the prism of Deng Xiaoping's legendary 'Southern Tour' of 1992.
