As biografias desses dois cronistas, escritas pelo mestre Alexandre Herculano, mais do que tecer críticas sinceras, oferecem ao leitor um vislumbre desse movimento literário tão caro à literatura portuguesa – as crônicas medievais. De Rui de Pina, destaca ter escrito o maior número de crônicas de que se tem notícia. De Garcia de Resende, um retrato pouco lisonjeiro: "velho cortesão, escreveu a vida de D. João II debaixo dos tetos dos suntuosos paços da Ribeira. A este pobre homem não cabe, todavia, a glória da invenção daquele gênero histórico."

"Ho tentato di rimettere insieme la storia della famiglia Manzoni; volevo ricostruirla, ricomporla, allinearla ordinatamente nel tempo. Avevo delle lettere e dei libri. Non volevo esprimere commenti, ma limitarmi a una nuda e semplice successione di fatti. Volevo che i fatti parlassero da sé. Volevo che le lettere, accorate o fredde, cerimoniose o schiette, palesemente menzognere o indubitabilmente sincere, parlassero da sé... Il protagonista di questa lunga storia famigliare non volevo fosse Alessandro Manzoni."

La vita umana, insegna l’induismo, si divide in quattro periodi: il primo serve per imparare, guidati da un maestro; il secondo per realizzare sé stessi...

The figure of the horse, at once earthly and transcendent, represented the contradictions of freedom and captivity that enabled young Octavia to develop her nuanced sense of voice and place. Drawing on previously unknown archival research, this volume illustrates how Butler's development as a writer was tied to her extraordinary resourcefulness and self-awareness growing up as an awkward, bookish Black girl in segregated, Cold War Pasadena.

A lyrical memoir of essays and poems from the Booker shortlisted author of Treacle Walker—a profound reflection on the creative journey and the influences that have shaped one of Britain’s most beloved writers. Critics praise Alan Garner, calling him “better than anyone else writing in...

Un lugar seguro es un conjunto de ensayos en clave autobiográfica que, partiendo de sucesos y situaciones cotidianas, trasciende la experiencia propia de la autora para hablarnos de la amistad, la literatura, el significado de ser mujer en México o las relaciones personales y familiares. Y, en todos ellos, subyace un tema común: la necesidad de encontrar un espacio, real y metafórico, en el que sentirse segura. Una obra que es toda una declaración de principios, tanto como una forma de mirar y estar en el mundo.

Un ritratto inedito di Federico Fellini. Stefania Parmeggiani traccia un itinerario alla scoperta di Rimini, la città del regista entrata nella storia del cinema con Amarcord. Dal molo di levante con le note di Nino Rota in sottofondo, al cimitero monumentale dove un giorno di novembre i riminesi accompagnarono Fellini per l’ultima volta. In mezzo le viuzze del vecchio borgo di pescatori e quelle del centro storico, il tempietto dove le "baffone" andavano a benedire gli animali, il maestoso Grand Hotel, il cinema Fulgor e l’antico Castel Sismondo, oggi votato al culto felliniano.
