Vulture Rebecca Solnit mira enrere i rememora els seus anys de lluita i compromís. Recorda la seva joventut en un barri marginal de San Francisco, quan la violència de gènere era habitual, i els seus anys de formació com a escriptora i feminista, en una societat que excloïa la veu de les dones en la vida cultural. I explora quines forces i quins camins la van ajudar a alliberar-se: la guia constant dels llibres; la comunitat gai, que renovava aleshores els models de gènere i família; i el seu descobriment dels vastos paisatges de l'Oest americà. "He voltat per l'Oest americà, he dormit en prats de muntanya, en deserts, al fons de congostos,…

Geschichten des Verschwindens, des Sich­Verlierens, des Verloren­Gehens und des Sich- Wiederfindens. Trost und Anleitung zu einem freieren Leben. Rebecca Solnit erz?hlt die Geschichte des spanischen Konquisitadors Cabeza de Vaca, der sich auf dem amerikanischen Kontinent verliert, um als anderer Mensch und in neuer Haut zu sich selbst zu finden; sie schreibt ?ber das Leben ihrer Urgro?mutter, die erst zwischen dem Russischen, Polnischen und Jiddischen und dann auf ihrem Weg von Osteuropa an die amerikanische Westk?ste verloren geht; sie berichtet von sich und ihrer Welt.

Wie sich die eigene Stimme finden l?sst, wenn die Gesellschaft Schweigen befiehlt – Mit diesem Buch steigt Rebecca Solnit endg?ltig aufs Podest zu Joan Didion und Susan Sontag: Ihre Geschichte ist die Geschichte einer jungen Frau, die ihre Stimme fand, w?hrend sie schweigen sollte. Im San Francisco der achtziger Jahre herrscht eine harsche Atmosph?re der Misogynie, Gewalt gegen Frauen ist an der Tagesordnung, wird hingenommen, nicht hinterfragt. Hier zieht eine junge Frau in ihre erste eigene Wohnung, schafft sich einen Freiraum zum Denken, Schreiben, Formulieren. Hier wird Rebecca Solnit eine andere, ?berwindet ihr Schweigen, die eigene…

"A beautiful, absorbing, tragic book."—Larry McMurtry In 1851, a war began in what would become Yosemite National Park, a war against the indigenous inhabitants. A century later–in 1951–and a hundred and fifty miles away, another war began when the U.S. government started setting off nuclear bombs at the Nevada Test Site. It was called a nuclear testing program, but functioned as a war against the land and people of the Great Basin. In this foundational book of landscape theory and environmental thinking, Rebecca Solnit explores our national Eden and Armageddon and offers a pathbreaking history of the west, focusing on the relationship…

Gifts come in many guises. One summer, Rebecca Solnit was bequeathed three boxes of ripening apricots, which lay, mountainous, on her bedroom floor - a windfall, a riddle, an emergency to be dealt with. The fruit came from a neglected tree that her mother, gradually succumbing to memory loss, could no longer tend to. From this unexpected inheritance came stories spun like those of Scheherazade, who used her gifts as a storyteller to change her fate and her l

Rebecca Solnit's essay 'Men Explain Things to Me' has become a touchstone of the feminist movement, inspired the term 'mansplaining', and established Solnit as one of the leading feminist thinkers of our time - one who has inspired everyone from radical activists to Beyonce Knowles.

Surveying the transformation of San Francisco in the early millenium by Silicon Valley, critically acclaimed writer Rebecca Solnit and photographer Susan Schwartzenberg describe the complex interactions that make up a living, creative, diverse city. One of our most impassioned and acclaimed chroniclers of American urbanism, Rebecca Solnit explores the impact of skyrocketing rents, architectural homogenization, and the links between artists and gentrification. Wealth, she argues, is just as capable of ravaging cities as poverty. Schwartzenberg’s social documentary photographs work with Solnit’s interlinked essays to memorialize San…
