Richard Esposito Livres

Pour aborder la phénoménologie, il est nécessaire de retrouver les idées de son fondateur Edmund Husserl. La bibliographie phénoménologique est large, mais peu d'ouvrages sont réservés à des non-initiés. Ce petit livre peut servir d'introduction générale aux idées de Husserl sans jamais prétendre se suffire à lui-même. L'histoire de la phénoménologie ne se limite pas aux productions de son créateur. Des chercheurs se sont inspirés de Husserl. Leur pensée, proche ou lointaine, s'est organisée autour de l'unité d'une même démarche. Cet ouvrage peut nous expliquer comment des philosophes tels Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Lévinas ou Ricœur, ou encore des théoriciens de la psychiatrie comme Jaspers ou Binswanger ont pu élaborer en partie leur propre projet.

“Do not. Confuse me. With. The facts. I tell the truth.”—Jimmy Breslin, quote as remembered by Richard EspositoThe first-ever biography of America’s greatest crime reporterIn a newspaper career spanning decades, Jimmy Breslin covered the stories that he knew mattered the human stories beyond the front page. From the JFK assassination, to the Son of Sam killings, mafia heists, the Crown Heights riots, and the Occupy movement, Breslin’s influential columns captured the lifebeat of the second half of the 20th century. A quintessential New Yorker, Breslin rubbed shoulders with world leaders and neighborhood arsonists, profiled JFK’s gravedigger, and elicited letters from the Son of Sam killer during his reign of terror, all recounted in columns that were personal, blunt, and the truth—at least Jimmy’s version of it.Jimmy The Man Who Told the Truth is the first biography of the legendary writer, vividly portrayed by Richard Esposito, a former colleague of the Big Man. From Breslin’s humble beginnings as a copy boy, to winning the 1986 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary, the writer’s life was as fascinating as any of his subjects. With the full cooperation of Breslin’s estate, and interviews with countless of Breslin’s former coworkers, friends, and enemies, Esposito has crafted a meticulous and revealing portrait of a complex man who bared his soul to the world in column inches.
