About this audiobook

Pierre Loti [Julien Viaud] (1850-1923) was a French naval officer and novelist. The present book is one of his few works of non-fiction, a small collection of letters and diary entries that describe his views and experiences in the wars and military operations in which he participated. Besides World War I, he also sheds light upon his views and involvement in the preparations for the Turkish Revolution of 1923, for which until today a famous hill and popular café in Istanbul are named after him.

Pierre Loti

Pierre Loti, né Louis Marie Julien Viaud le 14 janvier 1850 à Rochefort et décédé le 10 juin 1923 à Hendaye, est un écrivain français de renom et officier de marine. Sa carrière littéraire, nourrie par ses voyages autour du monde, l'a établi comme un maître de la littérature exotique et un observateur perspicace des cultures étrangères. Entré à l'École navale en 1867, Loti commence une carrière d'officier qui le mène aux quatre coins du globe. Ces expériences alimentent son oeuvre littéraire, marquée par des romans comme « Aziyadé » (1879), « Le Mariage de Loti » (1882), et « Pêcheur d'Islande » (1886), qui lui valent une immense popularité. Son style, caractérisé par un lyrisme sensible et une capacité à capturer l'essence des lieux et des cultures, se retrouve dans « Quelques aspects du vertige mondial ». Cet ouvrage témoigne de son engagement intellectuel face aux bouleversements de la Première Guerre mondiale, offrant une analyse géopolitique nourrie par sa vaste expérience internationale. Élu à l'Académie française en 1891, Loti continue d'écrire et de voyager, produisant des témoignages historiques précieux comme « La Turquie agonisante » (1913). Son oeuvre, oscillant entre romans exotiques et réflexions sur les changements mondiaux, fait de lui un témoin privilégié de son époque. La sensibilité de Loti aux cultures étrangères et sa capacité à analyser les bouleversements sociaux se reflètent pleinement dans « Quelques aspects du vertige mondial », confirmant son statut d'écrivain-voyageur et d'observateur avisé des transformations de son temps.

Jackson Holbert and John Darnielle in Conversation: When we learned that poet Jackson Holbert asked to speak with John Darnielle for this episode, it made so much sense to us. Holbert’s poems in the magazine are simple in construction, but the voice is incredibly distinct. The poems deal with heavy subjects in a way that feels normal, everyday. For those listeners who spent the 90s listening to cassettes of Darnielle’s musical moniker, The Mountain Goats, you know that Darnielle has one of the most deceptively simple and distinct vocal styles you’ll ever encounter. Holbert and Darnielle discuss everything from Iowa, a shared love of Slipknot, metal, and the physicality of writing. You’ll hear Darnielle read an unreleased lyric for a future song, and read from his latest novel, Universal Harvester. Holbert reads “The Uncle Poem” from the January 2021 issue of Poetry.

When Great Power Conflict and Climate Action Collide: The global decarbonization effort is colliding headfirst with the realities of great power politics. China currently controls more than 75 percent of the world’s electric vehicle battery and solar photovoltaic manufacturing supply chains. It also processes the bulk of the so-called critical minerals, like lithium, cobalt and graphite, that are essential to building out clean energy technologies. There is no clean energy revolution without China. What would happen if China decided to weaponize its clean energy resources in the same way Russia recently weaponized its oil and gas? Is it possible for the U.S. to end its energy dependency on China by investing in clean energy at home? What does this geopolitical reality mean for the prospect of meeting the world’s climate goals?

Among the topics discussed are whether the book is a call for engagement in the modern era, whether practical politics gets a bad rap, what Lincoln really thought about African-Americans, whether Lincoln intuited that he was going die in office, what challenges are presented by the fact that Lincoln was murdered when he was, whether Lincoln's occasional dishonesty was justified, and what class-based "equality" meant in his era.
