Questo libro nasce dal bisogno di raccontare la quotidianità di una famiglia per tre quarti neurodivergente: e così, tra compiti a ostacoli e lettere che si rincorrono, prende forma un racconto vivo, umano, che mescola il memoir al consiglio pratico, l'esperienza personale alla riflessione condivisa; senza la pretesa di insegnare, ma con il desiderio di offrire uno spaccato di vita e uno sguardo onesto su ciò che significa convivere con la dislessia - da genitori e da figli -, affrontando le difficoltà ma anche valorizzando le risorse, i talenti, le prospettive diverse.

El Gran Premio de España de 2014 fue el primero en el que trabajé con los tres mejores pilotos españoles de la historia de este deporte. Tres de los mejores del mundo. Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo y Marc Márquez. Fue el inicio de una relación profesional que ha llegado hasta el día de hoy, incluso después de retirarse Jorge y Dani, ahora compañeros en las retransmisiones de DAZN. Los años que he coincidido con los tres en este pequeño universo, y a través de conversaciones delante y detrás de las cámaras, me han permitido conocer sus historias.

James Joyce is one of the greatest writers in English. His first book, A Portrait of the Artist as A Young Man, laid down the template for the coming of age novel, while his collection of short stories, Dubliners, is of perennial interest. His great modern epic, Ulysses, took the city of Dublin for its setting and all human life for its subject, and its publication marked the beginning of the modern novel. Joyce's final work, Finnegans Wake, is an experiment in narrative and language. But if Joyce is a great writer he is also the most difficult writer in English.

Joining us at a riverside London hotel is Dame Julie Andrews, DBE, an English actress, singer and author. She has now released her second memoir, Home Work. Born in Surrey in 1935, Andrews parents divorced and she originally lived with her father, then moved back to live with her mother and stepfather. Her stepfather was turbulent, but he sponsored her voice lessons, and from 1945 Andrews began performing with her mother and stepfather unbilled.

Oscar Wilde is remembered as one of the wittiest minds ever, thanks to his provocative style and humor. In the 1890s, he was one of London's most popular playwrights; his masterpieces are The Importance of Being Earnest and the dark and fantastical Picture of Dorian Gray. His writings entwine themes of beauty, decadence and duplicity, which made him a more than colorful agent provocateur in the Victorian society. This would eventually lead to a very public trial after he was accused of sodomy. His defense, punctuated with witticism, often left the court roaring with laughter, but the evidence was against him, and he was eventually sent to prison.
