Cosa significa ricordare la Resistenza? Paolo Malaguti prende le mosse da una salita in bicicletta sul Monte Grappa per avviare un viaggio intimo e lucido nei luoghi, nelle tracce, nei silenzi della memoria resistenziale italiana. Ma ben presto il racconto si allarga, intrecciando la riflessione sulla storia con quella, attualissima, sulla memoria e sulla scuola: perché la Resistenza non è (solo) un capitolo da manuale, ma un laboratorio civile e pedagogico in cui misurare il valore della democrazia, della parola, del dissenso.

Ne usciranno quattro, tra il 1900 e il 1903: Claudine a scuola, Claudine a Parigi, Claudine si sposa e Claudine se ne va. Clamorosi successi commerciali, questi romanzi-scandalo per eccellenza del Novecento vedono come protagonista la selvatica Claudine, fanciulla e poi giovane donna di spregiudicata sensualità, impegnata a districarsi tra amori saffici e uomini viziosi. Al di là delle presunte scabrosità cui pure devono la fama, contribuirono a diffondere l'immagine di una femminilità nuova, aperta al piacere e non sottomessa al volere maschile né alle convenzioni della società borghese.

Regarded by many as the most luminous example of Mark Twain's work, this fictional biography of Joan of Arc was purportedly written by Joan's page and secretary — Sieur Louis de Conté. (Twain's alter ego even shared the author's same initials — S. L. C.) Told from the viewpoint of this lifelong friend, the historical novel is a panorama of stirring scenes and marvel of pageantry — from Joan's early childhood in Domremy and her touching story of the voices, to the fight for Orleans, the taking of Tourelles and Jargeau, and the splendid march to Rheims.
