كتاب رسائل إلى ميلينا هي استحضار لطيف المتلقي وطيف المرسل ليتجسدا في كلمات الرساله. في واقع الأمر ما رسائل إلى ميلينا إلا تواصل مع الأشباح. ولم يكن هذا التواصل مع شبح المخاطب فقط على الإطلاق، بل إنما يتعدى ذلك يتعدى ذلك ليكون مع شبح الشخص ذاته ، والذي يتطور سرّاً داخل الرسالة التي يكتبها ذلك الشخص ...

Filled with the twists, pathos and unusual characters that sprang from this novelist's extraordinary imagination, The Mystery of Charles Dickens looks back from the legendary writer's death to recall the key events in his life. In doing so, A.N. Wilson seeks to understand Dickens' creative genius and enduring popularity. Following his life from cradle to grave, it becomes clear that Dickens's fiction drew from his own experiences. Dickens knew first-hand the poverty and pain his characters endured, including the scandal of a failed marriage.

"Cosa fa della vita che abbiamo un'avventura felice?" si chiede Tiziano Terzani in questa eccezionale opera inedita, che racconta con la consueta potenza riflessiva l'esistenza di un uomo che non ha mai smesso di dialogare con il mondo e con la coscienza di ciascuno di noi. In un continuo e appassionato procedere dalla Storia alla storia personale, viene finalmente alla luce in questi diari il Terzani uomo, il padre, il marito: una persona curiosa e straordinariamente vitale, incline più alle domande che alle facili risposte.

Iniziato il 6 ottobre 1935 durante i giorni del confino politico, "Il mestiere di vivere" accompagna Cesare Pavese fino al 18 agosto 1950, nove giorni prima della sua morte, e diventa a poco a poco il luogo cui affidare i pensieri sul proprio mondo di scrittore e di uomo e, soprattutto, le confessioni ultime su quei drammi intimi che laceravano la sua esistenza.

Translating Myself and Others is a collection of candid and disarmingly personal essays by Pulitzer Prize–winning author Jhumpa Lahiri, who reflects on her emerging identity as a translator as well as a writer in two languages. With subtlety and emotional immediacy, Lahiri draws on Ovid's myth of Echo and Narcissus to explore the distinction between writing and translating, and provides a close reading of passages from Aristotle's Poetics to talk more broadly about writing, desire, and freedom.

" Je rêvais d'être ma propre cause et ma propre fin ; je pensais à présent que la littérature me permettrait de réaliser ce vœu. Elle m'assurerait une immortalité qui compenserait l'éternité perdue ; il n'y avait plus de Dieu pour m'aimer, mais je brûlerais dans des millions de cœurs. En écrivant une œuvre nourrie de mon histoire, je me créerais moi-même à neuf et je justifierais mon existence. En même temps, je servirais l'humanité : quel plus beau cadeau lui faire que des livres? Je m'intéressais à la fois à moi et aux autres"

Acclaimed Irish novelist Colm Tóibín first read James Baldwin just after turning eighteen. He had completed his first year at an Irish university and was struggling to free himself from a religious upbringing. Inspired by the novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, Tóibín found a writer who would be a lifelong companion and exemplar.

Émile Zola was the leader of the literary movement known as "naturalism" and is one of the great figures of the novel. In his monumental Les Rougon-Macquart (1871-93), he explored the social and cultural landscape of the late 19th century in ways that scandalized bourgeois society. Zola opened the novel up to a new realm of subjects, including the realities of working-class life, class relations, and questions of gender and sexuality, and his writing embodied a new freedom of expression, with his bold, outspoken voice often inviting controversy.

«Grabar, rayar, esculpir, cavar en una piedra, en un papiro, en un papel, pero, en última instancia, escribir: es la única manera de eternizar la expresión.» Esta selección de los dieciséis volúmenes del Diario (1932-1993) de Miguel Torga constituye un testimonio conmovedor de una época en la que el novelista y poeta portugués reflexiona sobre los acontecimientos que marcaron un siglo, su experiencia como médico y sus primeros pasos como escritor: todo aquello que quiso salvar del olvido.

Longtemps, Murakami a couru. Dix kilomètres par jour, six jours par semaine, un marathon par an, vingt marathons en tout. De cette passion, il a tiré un livre étonnant, entre éloge de l'effort, leçon de sagesse et mémoires inattendus. Car le maître ose une comparaison surprenante : si ténacité, capacité de concentration et talent sont les qualités requises d'un romancier, la course à pied permet de cultiver la patience et la persévérance. Courir est une métaphore de l'écriture.

Criada por padres de mentalidad científica y espíritu independiente, Margaret Atwood pasó gran parte de su infancia en los bosques remotos del norte de Quebec, lejos de las convenciones sociales. Aquella niñez nómada y sin ataduras marcó el inicio de un camino fuera de lo común, que ella misma narra con lucidez, ironía e ingenio, entrelazando los momentos decisivos de su vida con las obras que han transformado la narrativa contemporánea, como Ojo de gato y El cuento de la criada.
