Jean Renoir's career almost spans the history years of cinema - from the early silent movies, to the naturalism of the talkies, committed cinema, film noir, Hollywood studio productions, the Technicolor-period comedies and fast television techniques. His film The Grand Illusion remains one of the greatest movies about the effects of war.

A collection of Jackson's letters from prison, Soledad Brother is an outspoken condemnation of the racism of white America and a powerful appraisal of the prison system that failed to break his spirit but eventually took his life. Jackson's letters make palpable the intense feelings of anger and rebellion that filled Black men in America's prisons in the 1960s. But even removed from the social and political firestorms of the 1960s, Jackson's story still resonates for its portrait of a man taking a stand even while locked down.

María Zambrano, allieva di José Ortega y Gasset e di Xavier Zubiri all'Universidad Central di Madrid, fu esiliata dopo la guerra civile e viaggiò, peregrinando e nascondendosi, dal Messico a Cuba, da Roma alla Svizzera. Con uno sguardo profondo e delicato, Luigina Mortari compone il ritratto di una vita in fuga e di un pensiero libero: "La filosofia di Zambrano spazia sui paesaggi dell'anima, apre all'immensità del cosmo, addolcisce il discorso con parole di poesia, e per queste sue qualità può sembrare una filosofia dell'intimo.

Honduras no es Irak, pero cada año mueren asesinadas 85 personas por cada 100.000 habitantes, una cifra que supera a la de Irak. Honduras vive una de las guerras no declaradas menos contadas del mundo. Una guerra laberíntica de todos contra todos: el narco, que transporta a través del país el 90% de la cocaína colombiana y venezolana que llega a Estados Unidos; los pandilleros convertidos en soldados del narco y en extorsionadores; una policía sin medios que, en vez de detener criminales, prefiere ejecutarlos....

La temprana muerte del escritor chileno Roberto Bolaño fue el puñado de pólvora que encendió, de forma definitiva, la llama de su leyenda. Armada de un sutil instinto periodístico y con el compromiso solidario de los amigos, Mónica Maristain se dio a la tarea de buscar a las personas que pudieron disfrutar largas charlas con Bolaño, aquéllos que compartieron su juventud, niñez y madurez, para tejer un retrato más allá del personaje literario, descripción de cuerpo entero que toca las fibras de la persona, el padre, el hijo, el compañero.

Mario Rigoni Stern è stato uno dei maggiori narratori del nostro Novecento. La sua voce ha dato spazio a temi e aspetti assenti nella tradizione letteraria italiana: il mondo naturale, le montagne e le storie di guerra. Una peculiarità che trova origine in una vita segnata a lungo da eventi drammatici: la giovinezza trascorsa su ben tre fronti di guerra, la terribile esperienza della ritirata sul Don, la lunga prigionia nei lager tedeschi. Con il ritorno a casa, nel suo amato altipiano, può finalmente dedicarsi a una passione fino allora accantonata per necessità: la scrittura.

On her 120-acre homestead high in the Colorado Rockies, beloved writer Pam Houston learns what it means to care for a piece of land and the creatures on it.

Through her travels from the Gulf of Mexico to Alaska, she explores what ties her to the Earth, the ranch most of all.

La storia di ogni grande donna è la storia delle sue guerre. Quelle di Coco Chanel sono state almeno quattro: due conflitti mondiali, le battaglie sindacali degli anni Venti e Trenta, e la guerra contro i suoi fantasmi. Questa, la più cruenta di tutte, comincia con l'abbandono da parte del padre, prosegue con l'infanzia lontana dalla famiglia, "esiliata" in un convento di suore – che però, conquistato il benessere, sosterrà economicamente – e poi con la perdita di un grande amore, il più grande, e con la rinuncia a una casa vera e propria per trasferirsi al Ritz.

In May 2006, armed only with a small rucksack and a staff, Tony Kevin, an overweight, sedentary, 63-year-old former diplomat, set off on an eight-week trek across Spain. But this was not just a very long walk — it was a pilgrimage. From Granada, in the southeast, to Santiago de Compostela, in the far northwest, Tony followed the Via Mozarabe and the Via de la Plata, two of the many pilgrim trails that crisscross Spain and Portugal and that all lead to a single destination.

Dal 1863 Adèle Hugo, trentatré anni, seconda figlia di Victor Hugo, è nella sua famiglia la persona di cui si parla a bassa voce, con amici e conoscenti si evita di nominarla.

Adèle nutre il desiderio ardente di sposarlo nonostante lui le abbia dato segni eloquenti del suo rifiuto. Anni prima, però, Pinson l'ha sedotta su una terrazza a strapiombo sul mare, poi nelle sale buie di Hauteville House.

Bendecida con una voz extraordinaria templada al calor de su insobornable activismo, Sinéad O’Connor irrumpió, muy a su pesar, en la constelación de las grandes roqueras a finales de los ochenta, con una pompa que no iba con ella y de la que acabaría abjurando en poco tiempo.
