When the New Yorker writer Rebecca Mead relocated to her birth city, London, with her family in the summer of 2018, she was both fleeing the political situation in America and seeking to expose her son to a wider world. With a keen sense of what she'd given up as she left New York, her home of thirty years, she tried to knit herself into the fabric of a changed London. The move raised poignant questions about place: What does it mean to leave the place you have adopted as home and country? And what is the value and cost of uprooting yourself?

Giovanni Pascoli, in omaggio alla sua Ravenna, si unisce a Dante, che là compì la sua grande opera, per comunicarci bagliori di quella “mirabile visione” che è apparsa a Dante ragazzo, e poi l’ha ritrovato maturo, costretto suo malgrado a seguire quella vita contemplativa che, da ragazzo, era stata una sua aspirazione, e che era poi stata trascurata per smarrirsi nella selva di una vita politica.

This striking new collection exemplifies the way in which Mendelsohn - a classicist by training - uses the classics as a lens to think about urgent contemporary debates. There is much to surprise here. Mendelsohn invokes the automatons featured in Homer’s epics to help explain the AI films Ex Machina and Her and perceives how Ted Hughes sought redemption by translating a play of Euripides (the ‘bad boy of Athens’) about a wayward husband whose wife returns from the dead.

Un albero disegnato da Marcello Mastroianni, la rabbia e l'orgoglio di Oriana Fallaci dietro le quinte, le lunghe camminate per Roma con Ennio Flaiano. Nella sua carriera Anna Maria Mori ha incrociato nomi altisonanti che hanno sconvolto culturalmente l'ultima metà del Novecento e di cui racconta con sensibilità e acume. Nessuno di loro però è riuscito a farle dimenticare le sue umili origini, la lontananza dalla città natale, gli anni di studio in collegio, la gavetta, il sogno femminista, la maternità.
