Anna Karenina is one of the most nuanced characters in world literature, and we return to her and the novel she propels again and again. Remarkably, there has not yet been an examination of Leo Tolstoy specifically through the lens of this novel. Critic and Professor Bob Blaisdell unravels Tolstoy’s family, literary, and day-to-day life during the period that he conceived, drafted, abandoned, and revised Anna Karenina. In the process, we see where Tolstoy’s life and his art intersect in obvious and unobvious ways.

Warned not to write—and certainly not to bite—these women put pen to paper anyway and wrote themselves into history. From the fourteenth century through to the present day, women who write have been understood as mad, undisciplined, or dangerous. Female writers have always had to find ways to overcome or challenge these beliefs. Some were cautious and discreet, some didn’t give a damn, but all lived complex, eventful, and often controversial lives.

Un albero disegnato da Marcello Mastroianni, la rabbia e l'orgoglio di Oriana Fallaci dietro le quinte, le lunghe camminate per Roma con Ennio Flaiano. Nella sua carriera Anna Maria Mori ha incrociato nomi altisonanti che hanno sconvolto culturalmente l'ultima metà del Novecento e di cui racconta con sensibilità e acume. Nessuno di loro però è riuscito a farle dimenticare le sue umili origini, la lontananza dalla città natale, gli anni di studio in collegio, la gavetta, il sogno femminista, la maternità.

Relegated during her lifetime to the pulpy genre of mystery, Patricia Highsmith has emerged since her death in 1995 as one of “our greatest modernist writers” (Gore Vidal). Presented for the first time, this one-volume assemblage of her diaries and notebooks posthumously discovered behind Highsmith’s linens and culled from more than 8,000 pages by her devoted editor, Anna von Planta—traces the mesmerizing double-life of an artist who “[worked] like mad to be something”.

"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."

«E noi, che cosa stiamo diventando? E io, cosa sono diventato?» si chiede Paolo Nori. E la risposta viene da una lontananza che in verità brucia distanze e porta con sé, come fosse turbine di visioni, di fatti, di sentimenti, e naturalmente di poesia, la vita di Anna Achmatova. «Vogliamo raccontare» dice Nori «la storia di Anna Achmatova, una poetessa russa nata nei pressi di Odessa nel 1889 e morta a Mosca nel 1966.

“Sono trascorsi molti anni dalla prima pubblicazione di questo fortunato libretto che è stato amato dalle donne oltre le aspettative. In questi anni sono accadute molte cose: le scrittrici intervistate sono tutte scomparse, alcune hanno visto crescere la loro fama, alcune sono state dimenticate. In ogni caso le parole raccolte in queste interviste hanno peso e significato, il passare del tempo non le ha smentite.”
