It is difficult to realize that the Earth on which Alexander the Great was born was the same in its main outlines as the Earth on which we stand today, and at the same time to realize how very different from our present knowledge were men's ideas then of its area. Even modern writers picture Alexander as primitive in his notions, and it will be interesting to remember, when we find him anxious to press ever farther east and south, that the philosophers of his time, especially his teacher Aristotle, had just announced new arguments to prove that the Earth was spherical in form.

From a political and military point of view, the Partisan Diary provides firsthand knowledge of how the partisans in Piedmont fought, what obstacles they encountered, and who joined the struggle against the Nazis and the Fascists.

Questa ultima raccolta di poesie fu pubblicata postuma. La scrittrice attende serenamente la morte nella sua fede ritrovata.

Ada Negri, scrittrice e poetessa dalla intensa spiritualità, è stata la prima e unica donna ad essere ammessa all'Accademia d'Italia. Diplomata maestra elementare grazie ai sacrifici della madre, vedova e operaia, pubblicò il suo primo libro di poesie a 22 anni, ricevendo un tale successo che le fu conferita per "chiara fama" l'abilitazione all'insegnamento superiore.

Pubblicato nel 1920, questo primo romanzo di Ada Negri è la storia della sua vita fino all'età matura, e si conclude con la profonda scoperta dell'altra, una sé più profonda, quella che, senza mai abbandonarla, darà voce alle sue intuizioni, ai suoi contatti con l'Eterno.

Ultimo libro di prose ad essere pubblicato in vita, nel 1939. Una Ada Negri completamente riconciliata con la fede, che ci accompagna nella sua vita di tutti i giorni, fatta di incontri, ricordi, istantanee di chiese e di città. Un almanacco prezioso da sfogliare senza fretta, prezioso come l'erba sul sagrato della chiesa di Sant'Anna ad Asolo.

Raccolta di poesie pubblicata nel 1936, in cui la poetessa si confronta con la morte e il dono che è stato per lei la vita. Il percorso della scrittrice di avvicinamento alla fede sembra raggiungere qui la sua meta serena.

In questa raccolta di liriche, scritta nel 1930, l'autrice è sempre più vicina al ritrovamento della fede, e la malinconia di cui si tingono i ricordi viene sempre più illuminata dalla coscienza dello spirito. Di fronte alla propria morte, Ada Negri guarda la vita oltre la vita come un continuo, e il trapasso diventa una dolce trasformazione, nella terra che l'ha vista nascere e che continua ad anelare al cielo, con ogni stelo, frutto, fiore.

Queste prose furono pubblicate postume, nel 1945. L'avvicinamento alla morte dell'autrice è sempre più sereno e fiducioso, e si completa il percorso iniziato dopo i cinquant'anni, in cui, ad un avvicinamento sempre maggiore a Dio, si unisce la consapevolezza di sapere come la sua missione di scrittrice può servire gli altri, e non più se stessa. Di notevole interesse è l'ultima novella, la vita di Santa Caterina da Siena.

Her teddy bear peeking out from her backpack paired with the thickly padded diaper she wore beneath her short skirt told him everything he needed to know to make his heart long to make her his.
