È una giornata di primavera del 1864 quando il giudice Cochran mostra orgoglioso ai propri figli il fagottino rosa della neonata Elizabeth. Il loro è un piccolo borgo di tranquillo benessere in Pennsylvania, dove i ruoli sociali seguono schemi quasi inviolabili, ma Pink – come viene soprannominata la bambina – si dimostra presto inquieta e ribelle, più attratta dalle scorribande dei fratelli maggiori che dalle bambole, e al tempo stesso incuriosita dalla ricca biblioteca paterna.

Mitchell Burns never wanted to be a miner. Growing up in a Queensland coal mining town with parents in the industry, pursuing his passion for photography just didn't feel like an option. So, he went in the only direction he knew – straight into the mines.

Set against the rugged backdrop of Klovharun, a barren skerry in the Gulf of Finland, ´Notes from an Island´ invites you into the intimate world of Tove Jansson and her partner, graphic artist Tuulikki Pietilä, known affectionately as "Tooti."Aided by Brunstroem, an unconventional fisherman, Jansson races against time and the elements to build a cabin that would serve as their sanctuary for thirty summers. A declaration of the beauty of solitude, Notes from an Island is a touching homage to a mature love nurtured by the raw beauty of shifting seascapes.

In Ghost Dogs, Dubus’s nonfiction prowess is on full display in his retelling of his own successes, failures, triumphs, and pain. In his longest essay, “If I Owned a Gun,” Dubus reflects on the empowerment and shame he felt in keeping a gun, and his decision, ultimately, to give it up. Elsewhere, he writes of a violent youth and of settled domesticity and fatherhood, about the omnipresent expectations and contradictions of masculinity, about the things writers remember and those they forget.

One name links Betrand Russell and Axel Munthe, Augustus John and Henry Lamb, H.H. Asquith and Duncan Grant, Aldous Huxley and Lytton Strachey. To some she was a lover, to others a confidant and adviser. To many she was a mother substitute. But wherever the phrase ‘Bloomsbury group’ is spoken, Lady Ottoline Morrell’s name is not far behind.

This is the memoir Christopher Fowler always wanted to write about 'writing'. It's the story of how a young bookworm growing up in a house where there was nothing to read but knitting pamphlets and motorcycle manuals became a writer—a 'word monkey'—and pursued a sort of career in popular fiction. And it's a book full of brilliant insights into the pleasures and pitfalls of his profession, dos and don'ts for would-be writers, and astute observations on favorite (and not-so-favorite) novelists.

C’è un punto in cui l’occhio umano non vede: gli scienziati lo chiamano punto cieco, e di questo si tratta, di una zona d’ombra nella retina dove non arrivano la luce e le immagini esterne. Per fortuna interviene il cervello a “riempire” quel buco nero: capta informazioni dalle aree dell’occhio circostanti e le proietta su quel vuoto. L’esistenza di questo punto cieco è tanto spaventosa quanto affascinante. Come lo sono tutte le zone d’ombra: le parti segrete di ciascuno di noi, le aree oscure del mondo, i punti ciechi nella vita e nell’arte.

Bernard Marks and Martha Alford met by chance. No real reason for it, just a series of fluky coincidences. The odds were long that they would hit it off. That wasn’t in the cards they’d been dealt at birth. “It’ll never last,” people whispered after they got engaged. “Poor probability of success” was the general consensus when they married. But Bernie and Martha ignored the naysayers. Gamblers in love, they rolled the dice.

Milena Busquets practica en estos diarios una escritura de pinceladas impresionistas y logra que de lo cotidiano, de lo en apariencia anodino, emerja la epifanía. Este es un diario sobre días tristes y días felices −"La euforia y la felicidad absolutas están a un milímetro del ataque de pánico"−, escrito sin trampa ni cartón, sin falsos pudores, ni engolada pompa. Escrito siguiendo esta premisa: "Uno escribe solo ante el peligro, no hay otra manera honesta de hacerlo, el menor atisbo de autocomplacencia es una señal de cobardía.

Mit ihren Romanen ist Herta Müller berühmt geworden – in ihren Essays gibt sie Auskunft über sich und ihre Zeit. Wohl nirgends ist ihr bizarrer Weg aus einem Dorf in Rumänien in die Welt der Literatur so gut nachvollziehbar. In den ausgewählten Texten erzählt sie von Kindheit und Jugend, berichtet von den Verfolgungen durch die Geheimpolizei, aber sie widmet sich auch Fragen ihres eigenen Schreibens, seinen literarischen und politischen Seiten. Mit der Stockholmer Rede zur Nobelpreisverleihung und der Tischrede im Originalton.

With Muse of Fire, Michael Korda, the bestselling author of Alone and Hero, takes a novel approach to World War I by telling its history through the lives of the soldier-poets whose verses memorialize the war's unimaginable horrors. He begins with Rupert Brooke and the halcyon days before violence engulfed his generation—destroying the self-contented world of Edwardian England—and ends with the tragic death of Wilfred Owen, killed only days before the armistice brought an end to a war that took over 25,000,000 lives.

" Ce n'est que bien plus tard que je découvris l'effet le plus surprenant de ma nouvelle vie scolaire : ma famille, ma chère famille, n'était plus le centre de mon existence. " Annoncé comme " à paraître " dès la sortie du Temps des secrets, Le Temps des amours sera différé par Pagnol pris par d'autres projets et qui, peut-être, retardait le moment de quitter les héros de son enfance. Personne n'y croyait plus lorsque, trois ans après la mort de l'écrivain, ses proches trouvèrent dans ses dossiers un certain nombre de chapitres achevés qui, mis bout à bout, constituaient ce Temps des amours.

"Mio padre si chiama Achille e non mi parla": questa storia comincia così, con un dialogo interrotto tra un padre e una figlia. Achille è stato un padre carismatico, con cui Ilaria da ragazza ha condiviso passioni, idee sulla vita e sul mondo, ma anche liti feroci e grandi silenzi. Fino a quando, senza un motivo scatenante o una colpa evidente, il silenzio ha inghiottito tutto. Achille ha smesso di cercarla, di rispondere alle sue telefonate e alle sue lettere. Forse, ha deciso di smettere di esserle padre.
