"Soudain, j'entends le vrombissement strident des moteurs de l'appareil qui s'approche à toute allure. À peine ai-je le temps de me tourner vers la fenêtre qu'un impact d'une violence inouïe ébranle le bâtiment. Une seconde, deux secondes, l'onde de choc descend des étages supérieurs, la tour oscille très violemment des tableaux se renversent, une statuette en marbre vacille, mon fauteuil avance et recule sur ses roulettes. Trois secondes, derrière les fenêtres un déluge sans fin de morceaux d'avion, de poutrelles d'aluminium, de verre, de débris, de kérosène, de feu, des corps peut-être, dégringolent devant nos yeux médusés..."

Millions of families are affected by eating disorders, which usually strike young women between the ages of fourteen and twenty.

Abhinav Bindra once shot 100 out of 100 in practice six times in a row and walked out of the range unhappy.

In the years between, the idealistic young Stern would sharpen his skills in the realities of the criminal courts of New York City, to emerge as the lead trial attorney for the Justice Department....

As soon as she graduated from high school, Pamela Des Barres headed for the Sunset Strip, where she knocked on rock stars' backstage doors and immersed herself in the drugs, danger, and ecstasy of the freewheeling 1960s.

She traveled with Led Zeppelin; lived in sin with Don Johnson; turned down a date with Elvis Presley; and was close friends with Robert Plant, Gram Parsons, Ray Davies, and Frank Zappa.

From their early days as tutor and scholar, discussing philosophy over Spartan dinners, to their work together to publish Einstein’s books in Europe, in Maurice Solovine Einstein found both an engaged mind and a loyal friend. While Einstein frequently shared his observations on science, politics, philosophy, and religion in his correspondence with Solovine, he was just as likely to express his feelings about everyday life.

En 1845, Henry David Thoreau part vivre dans une cabane construite de ses propres mains, au bord de l'étang de Walden, dans le Massachusetts. Là, au fond des bois, il mène pendant deux ans une vie frugale et autarcique, qui lui laisse tout le loisir de méditer sur le sens de l'existence, la société et le rapport des êtres humains à la Nature. Une réflexion sereine qui montre qu'il faut s'abstraire du monde et de ses désirs pour devenir réellement soi-même.

Il pianista Ramin Bahrami trova un modo originale e moderno di far rivivere Mozart, Beethoven e Bach come nostri contemporanei. In queste pagine, il genio di Mozart è il protagonista e Bahrami si chiede, quasi a sfidarlo: cosa direbbe Mozart, questo maestro ribelle e giovanile, della cultura del ventunesimo secolo, dove sembra che la bellezza, pura e semplice, sia qualcosa da bandire? Come concilierebbe la sua arte con il tempo moderno? Saprebbe ancora comunciare con noi attraverso la musica?

Delle donne, del loro universo fatto, oggi come ieri, di aspettative sociali e aspirazioni individuali spesso dolorosamente contrastanti, non si sa niente. È un refrain ripetuto con regolarità dai giornali, dalla televisione, dalla pubblicità: la donna come mistero, come non detto, come seduzione di uno sguardo velato; la donna che custodisce il proprio segreto gelosamente, come fa con la casa, i figli, la famiglia. La donna che chi la capisce è bravo, a sentire i discorsi da bar.

Maximiliano. Un emperador en el Cerro de las Campanas nos presenta la vida de aquel austriaco loco, viajero incansable, dilapidador en nombre de nobles causas, amante de la naturaleza y fanático del mar que dejó una profunda huella a su paso por tierras mexicanas.

Le protagoniste di questo libro sono trentaquattro donne, intraprendenti, controcorrente, spesso perseguitate, a volte incomprese ma forti e generose, sempre pronte a lottare per raggiungere traguardi che sembravano inarrivabili, se non addirittura impensabili: da Ilaria Alpi, la giornalista uccisa mentre indagava su scomode verità, a Kathrine Switzer, la prima donna a correre la maratona di Boston; da Ipazia, che nel IV secolo, contro i divieti ecclesiastici, osò scrutare il cielo per rivelare il movimento dei pianeti, a Olympe de Gouges.
