Fragments of Reality is a Zen-like modern version of insights that Bankei, Huang Po and others have said from ancient times. Kajander uses Ramana Maharshi’s Who am I –method to enquire into the inner world and secrets of the mind. The discoveries invite to observe and consider one’s life and its meaning. “It is like an exploration of the world that Eckhart Tolle describes, but in unpretentious cameos. The book gives one reflection tools for the heroic struggle to stay on the tightrope of the present in the day to day." - Etsko Schuitema

In Fragments of Reality, readers are invited to journey through the fragmented landscapes of contemporary existence, where chaos and clarity intertwine in a tapestry of poetic expression. This collection presents a mosaic of verse that mirrors the disjointed nature of modern life, capturing the elusive and often surreal quality of our daily experiences. Each poem is a piece of a larger, disassembled whole, reflecting the shattered yet vivid reality we navigate. Through fragmented stanzas and disjointed imagery, the book delves into the complexities of our digital age, the disruption of traditional norms, and the emotional turbulence that defines contemporary living. Fragments of Reality does not offer neat resolutions or tidy conclusions; instead, it embraces the disorder and ambiguity of our times. It challenges readers to find meaning within the fragments, to see beauty in the broken pieces, and to connect with the shared disarray that shapes our collective experience.

Eschewing hair-splitting for the sport of it, González takes a fresh look at the notion of subjectivity and the nature of the self in seven essays. With reference to Camus, Cocteau, Gabriel Marcel, Ortega and Enrique Anderson Imbert, he explores diverse topics from the aesthetic vision and moral courage to the absurd. His nuanced and sensitive writing draws the reader on an introspective journey through a portal that subtly shifts the perception of human reality.

Aboard a long-range research vessel, in the vast reaches of the South Pacific, the cast and crew of the reality show Sealife believe they have found a ratings bonanza. For a director dying for drama, a distress call from Henders Island—a mere blip on any radar—might be just the ticket. Until the first scientist sets foot on Henders—and the ultimate test of survival begins. For when they reach the island’s shores, the scientists are utterly unprepared for what they find—creatures unlike any ever recorded in natural history. This is not a lost world frozen in time; this is Earth as it might have looked after evolving on a separate path for half a billion years—a fragment of a lost continent, with an ecosystem that could topple ours like a house of cards.

What is it about ruins that are so alluring, so puzzling, that they can hold some of us in endless wonder over the half-erased story they tell? In this elegant book, Robert Harbison explores the captivating hold these remains and broken pieces—from architecture, art, and literature—have on us. Why are we, he asks, so suspicious of things that are too smooth, too continuous? What makes us feel, when we look upon a fragment, that its very incompletion has a kind of meaning in itself? Is it that our experience on earth is inherently discontinuous, or that we are simply unable to believe in anything whole? Harbison guides us through ruins and fragments, both ancient and modern, visual and textual, showing us how they are crucial to understanding our current mindset and how we arrived here. First looking at ancient fragments, he examines the ways we have recovered, restored, and exhibited them as artworks. Then he moves on to modernist architecture and the ways that it seeks a fragmentary form, examining modern projects that have been designed into existing ruins, such as the Castelvecchio in Verona, Italy and the reconstruction of the Neues Museum in Berlin. From there he explores literature and the works of T. S. Eliot, Montaigne, Coleridge, Joyce, and Sterne, and how they have used fragments as the foundation for creating new work. Likewise he examines the visual arts, from Schwitters’ collages to Ruskin’s drawings, as well as cinematic works from Sergei Eisenstein to Julien Temple, never shying from more deliberate creators of ruin, from Gordon Matta-Clark to countless graffiti artists. From ancient to modern times and across every imaginable form of art, Harbison takes a poetic look at how ruins have offered us a way of understanding history and how they have enabled us to create the new.

Fragments of Modernity, first published in 1985, provides a critical introduction to the work of three of the most original German thinkers of the early twentieth century. In their different ways, all three illuminated the experience of the modern urban life, whether in mid nineteenth-century Paris, Berlin at the turn of the twentieth century or later as the vanguard city of the Weimar Republic. They related the new modes of experiencing the world to the maturation of the money economy (Simmel), the process of rationalization of capital (Kracauer) and the fantasy world of commodity fetishism (Benjamin). In each case they focus on those fragments of social experience that could best capture the sense of modernity.
