Mary Jane Oliver (September 10, 1935-January 17, 2019), from Maple Heights, OH, was an American poet who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and the National Book Award in 1992. She found inspiration for her work in nature and had a lifelong habit of solitary walks in the wild. Her poetry is characterized by wonderment at the natural environment, vivid imagery, and unadorned language. In 2007, she was declared the best-selling poet in the United States.

Stanford White was a louche man-about-town and a canny cultural entrepreneur―the creator of landmark buildings that elevated American architecture to new heights. Augustus Saint-Gaudens was the son of an immigrant shoemaker, a moody introvert, and a committed procrastinator whose painstaking work brought emotional depth to American sculpture. They met when Stan was walking down the street and heard Gus whistling Mozart in his studio.

In Dysphoria Mundi, Paul B. Preciado, best known for his 2013 cult classic Testo Junkie, has written a mutant text assembled from essays, philosophy, poetry, and autofiction that captures a moment of profound change and possibility. Rooted in the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, and taking account of the societal convulsions that have ensued, Preciado tries to make sense of our times from within the swirl of a revolutionary present moment.

En Hitch 22, sus esperadas memorias, Christopher Hitchens, el escritor político por excelencia, repasa su vida hasta la actualidad, desde su infancia en Portsmouth, con una madre, de destino trágico, que le adoraba, y un padre reservado y distante, hasta su vida en Washington DC. En el camino recuerda los amigos, las batallas y las botellas, las grandes luchas y las causas perdidas, y los errores y las dudas que han definido su vida.

Robert Dessaix’s Chameleon is about everything that matters, a book of memories that flow so freely they seem to happen as we read. Cartwheeling from story to story, Dessaix describes an identity in flux: his beginnings as an adopted child named Thomas Robert Jones, his youthful interest in religious thinking, his obsession with all things Russian, his marriage to Lisa and divorce, his discovery of travel.

Con una scrittura intima e vivida, l'autrice racconta storie di umanità e natura, in un affresco emotivo dove i cavalli diventano specchio e guida del percorso interiore. La narrazione, tra paesaggi toscani e atmosfere sudamericane, rivela una sensibilità rara nel cogliere le sfumature dell'esistenza, le molteplici forme dell'amore, per gli animali, per i luoghi, per le persone, e il coraggio necessario per trovare la propria strada.

Growing Boys and Growing in Grace Scripture says that Mary pondered certain moments In her heart. Some of these I pondered, too— The little memories I would otherwise forget, But now I can return to, Again and again, In joy.

Los dos textos reunidos aquí no citan, quizás por demasiado obvia, pero amplifican con perspicacia teórica y pulso ensayístico una idea de Kafka, diarista consumado: «Uno encuentra en su diario pruebas de haber vivido, de haber mirado alrededor y de haber anotado observaciones incluso en circunstancias que hoy parecen insoportables». No tanto el devenir siempre acechante de lo trágico que sobrevuela la existencia sino ese resto a veces menor, lo que queda tras la imposición de un cambio de tema, la prueba de que algo de lo que ocurre en la vida podría establecer un canal de ida y ...

Cos'è quel "brivido ai polpastrelli" a cui è impossibile resistere? La smania che porta gli scrittori, nei secoli, a gioire e disperarsi davanti al foglio bianco, alla macchina da scrivere, alla tastiera del computer? Con la disinvolta competenza del narratore navigato e il tono sornione dei suoi pezzi su " la Lettura " del " Corriere della Sera ", Piperno ci regala un'irresistibile riflessione sull'arte di scrivere. "Si scrive perché si sente il dovere di farlo" sosteneva Philip Larkin, con un'ironia che non trascura l'aspetto etico della questione.

Bien qu'Erik Satie soit principalement reconnu pour son œuvre de compositeur et pianiste, ses écrits poétiques sont à l'image de sa musique : souvent courts, empreints d'un humour absurde et d'une grande sensibilité mélancolique. La voix profonde et le timbre captivant de François Marthouret, se mêle ici aux harmonies délicates du piano de Christiane Gugger. La complicité sensible entre l'acteur et de la pianiste, souligne toute la musicalité et l'inattendu de ces écrits iconoclastes signés par l'un des plus grands précurseurs de son époque.

昭和45年11月25日、三島由紀夫、自衛隊市ヶ谷駐屯地で割腹、介錯される――。一人の作家がクーデターに失敗し自決したにすぎないあの日、何故あれほど日本全体が動揺し、以後多くの人が事件を饒舌に語り記したか。
