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.

Il protagonista di questa lunga storia famigliare non volevo fosse Alessandro Manzoni."

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.

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.

Burnt out and in need of retreat, Jenn Ashworth emerged from lockdown with a compulsive need to walk—and to walk away. Armed with little more than the knowledge imparted by a two-day orienteering course and a set of maps, she embarked on the most epic of English walks: Wainwright's Coast to Coast. Guided not just by Wainwright's writing but also by daily letters from her friend Clive—facing an epic journey of his own—Jenn's pilgrimage soon becomes more than just walking: a chance to reconnect and excavate, to re-engage with the act of caring for others and for oneself.
