A Place to Stand is Jimmy Santiago Baca's memoir of childhood on the small farms of New Mexico, his adolescence spent in orphanages and detention centers, his years as a drug dealer in San Diego and Arizona, and his extraordinary personal transformation under the harrowing conditions behind bars. Life in prison was often brutal, and Baca describes the extreme measures he had to take to survive, which endowed him with an indomitable will to resist the dehumanization of prison life. The act of writing offered a powerful means of transcending his surroundings.

Libre, passionnée, courageuse, dotée d'un franc-parler connu aussi bien au Canada qu'en France, Denise Bombardier n'est pas de ces journalistes et écrivains qui laissent indifférent. Femme de combats, d'engagements, parce qu'elle ne craint ni la polémique ni les débats d'idées, elle s'est tracé un sillon médiatique et littéraire où s'impose une ligne directrice rare : le refus des compromis et des compromissions. Une force de caractère qui lui vient de loin, comme ces mémoires le décrivent avec vigueur, chaleur, tendresse, colères et humour aussi.

Am 28. Februar 1986 wird der schwedische Premierminister Olof Palme in Stockholm auf offener Straße erschossen. Der künftige Autor der "Millennium-Trilogie", Stieg Larsson, zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch Illustrator bei der antifaschistischen Zeitung Expo, beginnt intensive Recherchen zu dem Attentat aufzunehmen, das bis heute unaufgeklärt ist. Seine Ermittlungen setzt er über Jahre hinweg fort - bis zu seinem frühen Tod im Jahr 2004. Erst 2014 stößt der Journalist und Dokumentarfilmer Jan Stocklassa auf das persönliche Archiv von Larsson.

Shahan Mufti’s family history, which he can trace back 1,400 years to the inner circle of the prophet Muhammad, offers an enlightened perspective on the mystifying history of Pakistan. Mufti uses the stories of his ancestors, many of whom served as judges and jurists in Muslim sharia courts of South Asia for many centuries, to reveal the deepest roots - real and imagined - of Islamic civilization in Pakistan.

With lips slightly parted and eyes fixed on a point in the distance, a breathtaking marble portrait of Costanza Piccolomini appears alive. Carved by Gianlorenzo Bernini in 1636 - 37 for his own pleasure, the portrait of Costanza is one of his most captivating works, but until now little has been known about its subject. For centuries Costanza was identified only as Bernini's mistress, who later incited his rage by betraying him for his brother. Author Sarah McPhee corrects and expands this story in her remarkable biography of a sculpture and its subject.

The first-born son of his generation, Peter Balakian grew up in a close, extended family, sheltered by 1950s and '60s New Jersey suburbia. He was immersed in an all-American boyhood defined by rock 'n' roll, adolescent pranks, and a passion for the New York Yankees that he shared with his beloved grandmother. But beneath this sunny world lay the dark specter of the trauma his family and ancestors had experienced: the Turkish government's extermination of more than a million Armenians.

From the acclaimed author of The Pattons and Patriot Pirates: a book that celebrates America’s forgotten war correspondents, men who were legends in their time; who, between 1860 and 1910, between the Civil War and the Spanish-American War - when empires fell and dynasties flourished - led romantic, thrilling lives on the edgiest frontiers of time and place: seeing the world, breaking the stories, making news themselves during the time when newspapers made the most foreign of landscapes available, and the circulation wars were revolutionizing contemporary life, shaping global events, and making history.

Here is the exotic world of one of the East's ancient cities, where Naim Kattan was born into the heart of its then teeming Jewish community. In this evocative memoir, a young boy comes of age, discovering work, literature, patriotism, racism - and women and love. This is a story of roots and anguished exile, of thirst for life and life's experiences. Above all it is a memoir of a lost world, a magical city in which Iraq's Kurds, Bedouins, Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived together in a rough sort of harmony.

A lyrical and authentic book that recounts the story of a border-town family in Brownsville, Texas in the 1980s, as each member of the family desperately tries to assimilate and escape life on the border to become "real" Americans, even at the expense of their shared family history. This is really un-mined territory in the memoir genre that gives in-depth insight into a previously unexplored corner of America.

Alfred Wainwright's unique hand-drawn and hand-written Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells have been an inspiration to walkers for over 40 years. Yet despite many bestselling books and three television series, Wainwright remained an intensely private person.

Through a child’s eye she recalls the chaos and joy of living with Dylan Thomas while the poet was at the height of his creative powers, composing 'Under Milk Wood'. Through a series of beautifully evocative episodes, village and family life are explored.

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.

Una traversata a piedi di mille chilometri, dal confine francese fino a Roma, per ritrovare un amico che è in coma. Lungo la Via Francigena scorrono 26 giorni di incontri, turbolenze, riflessioni. E ritornano 25 anni di vita, di episodi improbabili, riflessioni importanti e soprattutto amicizia. Perché in mille chilometri quello che fa da guida è la storia trentennale di tre amici. Fino ad arrivare alla mèta, e a un imprevisto epilogo. Come per il percorso di un camminatore, ogni capitolo è una tappa, e ogni tappa un modo per raccontare quel che è stato di una nazione e della sua gente.

Raccontare Vivian Maier significa raccontare una vita invisibile, cancellata. La vita di una bambinaia. Ma quella bambinaia era una fotografa di genio destinata a diventare una leggenda. Raccontare Vivian Maier vuol dire immaginare un'americana di origini francesi che ispeziona infaticabile le vie, gli angoli delle città in cui vive, rubandone fotogrammi con una Rolleiflex da cui non si separa mai. Significa cercare di ricostruire i frammenti di una biografia in cui lei, Vivian, sfugge, sfuma sempre in un fuori fuoco, una dissolvenza impossibile da afferrare, in cui si perde anche il suo nome.
