An essay by María Zambrano, written at the start of her long exile, on the split between two ways of using words: philosophy, which searches by method, and poetry, which finds. She does not stop at that division and points toward what she called poetic reason, a way of thinking that draws on both traditions.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
