Títulos em Memórias, Diários e Correspondência

Congiure di corte, imperatori avvelenati, esili, matricidi, infamie varie, Nerone, Agrippina, Messalina. Quando si fa il nome di Lucio Anneo Seneca, il Giovane, bisogna subito associarlo a un fondale di trame e di lotte all'ultimo sangue per il potere. Bisogna pensare a imperatori pazzi e geniali, a calunnie, a cordate, a rese dei conti, a notti romane popolate di incontri segreti, di patti magari sottoscritti per essere subito disattesi. Sono cose che non vi giungono nuove?

This second volume of the best-selling diaries of Henry 'Chips' Channon takes us from the heady aftermath of the Munich agreement, when the prime minister Chips so admired was credited with having averted a general European conflagration, through the rapid unravelling of appeasement, and on to the tribulations of the early years of the Second World War. It closes with a moment of hope, as Channon, in recording the fall of Mussolini in July 1943, reflects: 'The war must be more than half over.'

Una preziosa e originale testimonianza su che cosa significhi cecità, dalle operazioni quotidiane a quelle più complesse, in forma di diario scritta da un uomo che è diventato cieco a quarant'anni.

Questo libro è il secondo manuale-racconto sulla vita contemporanea, e diario personale scritto da me. La vera gioia che il nostro tempo restituisce tramite le esperienze, non un ritrovato delle nuove tecnologie ma una funzione in diversi periodi storici e geologici, cosa lo ha già creato secondo delle spiegazioni, sugli avvenimenti e le loro soluzioni.

A phenomenal poetry collection about disappointment, love, loss, grief, and recovery.

As a young man, Narendra Modi had got into the habit of writing a letter to the Mother Goddess, whom he addressed as jagat janani, every night before going to bed. The topics were varied: there were seething sorrows, fleeting joys, lingering memories. In Modi's writings there was the enthusiasm of a youngster and the passion to usher in change. But every few months, Modi would tear up the pages and consign them to a bonfire. The pages of one diary, dating back to 1986, survived, however.

With devastating honesty and sparkling humour, she grapples with what it means for her sense of self to be so entwined with another - how to survive as an artist in a partnership that is both enthralling and uncompromising.

First published as Journal of the Gallery London in 1993 with revised editions in 1998 and 2001, more than 400 entries chronicle the life of the city; a powerfully driven arena of dysfunctional experience.

Under the cover of being designated as private correspondence, the letters between the queen and the governor-general about the dismissal have been locked away for decades in the National Archives of Australia, and embargoed by the queen - potentially forever. In the face of this, Professor Jenny Hocking embarked on a four-year legal battle to force the Archives to release the letters. In 2015, she mounted a crowd-funded campaign, securing a stellar pro bono team that took her case all the way to the High Court of Australia.

Zwei Autorinnen von internationalem Rang sind fast drei Jahrzehnte lang, von 1962 bis 1990, miteinander im Austausch: über das Schreiben, den Literaturbetrieb im Osten wie im Westen, über die Männer, die Kinder, die Arbeit im Garten und die politischen Systeme, in denen sie leben. Letztere sind es wohl, die diese Freundschaft an ein Ende bringen, nach vielen Jahren des vertrauensvollen Miteinanders. Streng und verspielt, heiter und verzweifelt, schnoddrig und ehrlich - Sarah Kirsch und Christa Wolf beim Schreiben und Leben zuzuhören ist ein Geschenk.
