Napoli è la città meno equilibrata del mondo. È una metropoli complessa, piena di sfaccettature, è più città in una: un miscuglio di colori e di stati d'animo, di stili architettonici e classi sociali, di sapori dolci e salati, pastiera e pizza, sfogliatella e ragù, di musica antica e neomelodica, di fede e scaramanzia. Come fare allora a catturare le sue mille anime? Acuto osservatore dei piccoli e grandi fatti di cronaca della sua città, Lorenzo Marone sceglie di raccontare Napoli a modo suo, lasciandosi sorprendere da ciò che gli accade intorno.

Ogni libro parla di altri libri. Ma ogni libro è, anche, una finestra sul mondo. Il libro può far rivivere il passato, o presagire il futuro. Ci porta in paesi lontani, ci fa parlare con chi non c'è più e scoprire universi ignoti. E gli scrittori? Quanto sappiamo della loro vita, a volte persino più avventurosa dei loro romanzi? Da questi ventisei capitoli - tanti quante, dall'A alla Z, le lettere dell'alfabeto - come da altrettante finestre attraverso una fitta rete di richiami culturali Hans Tuzzi scopre, di volta in volta, inediti punti di vista su noi stessi e sul nostro passato.

In quale tempo e in quale spazio ha luogo il singolare, fragile evento della lettura? Da queste domande prende avvio il breve e nitido saggio che Ezio Raimondi, uno dei massimi studiosi della letteratura oggi in Italia, ha dedicato al leggere. È un atto apparentemente semplice, un gesto quotidiano, eppure leggere è un rapporto complesso fra due persone, l'autore e il lettore, che ha luogo attraverso un testo. Chi legge fa vivere un testo, lo realizza, mettendosi così in comunicazione con l'altro, con una diversità.

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. Elk calves and bluebirds mark the changing seasons, winter temperatures drop to 35 below, and lightning sparks a 110,000-acre wildfire, threatening her century-old barn and all its inhabitants. Through her travels from the Gulf of Mexico to Alaska, she explores what ties her to the Earth, the ranch most of all.

In this stunning new collection of personal essays, distinguished author Phillip Lopate weaves together the colorful threads of a life well lived and brings us on an invigorating and thoughtful journey through memory, culture, parenthood, the trials of marriage both young and old, and an extraordinary look at New York’s storied past and present.

The place is El Salvador in 1982, at the ghastly height of its civil war. The writer is Joan Didion, who delivers an anatomy of that country's particular brand of terror - its mechanisms, rationales, and intimate relation to United States foreign policy. As ash travels from battlefields to body dumps, interviews a puppet president, and considers the distinctly Salvadoran grammar of the verb "to disappear," Didion gives us a book that is germane to any country in which bloodshed has become a standard tool of politics.

From the time she is nine years old and discovers a “Private Way” full of the wonderful and creepy creatures of the wild - spiders, deer, moles, chipmunks, and foxes - Lauren Slater finds in animals a refuge from the troubled life of her suburban home. As she matures, her bond with animals - raccoons, horses, swans, cats, and primarily, dogs - strengthens and grows more complex and compelling. They offer relief from the pain of her mother’s mental illness.

In August 2014 Jenny Diski was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer and given 'two or three years' to live. She didn't know how to react. All responses felt scripted, laden with cliché. Being a writer, she decided to write about it (grappling with the unoriginality even of this) and to tell a story she had not yet told: that of being taken in, aged 15, by the author Doris Lessing and the subsequent 50 years of their complex relationship.

劇作家・寺山修司や心理学者・河合隼雄が絶賛した『風と木の詩』の創作舞台裏や、女性版トキワ荘・大泉サロンで「いかに少女マンガの地位を上げるか」を仲間と語り合った日々を綴る。

Funny, poignant and reflective, The Weight of a Cherry Blossom is a fable of rootlessness and belonging in the modern world. It is equal parts a story of urban loneliness and self-discovery and of the healing powers of kinship and love. Revisiting the awkwardness of adolescence and the chaos of growing up, it looks the foibles of adulthood irreverently in the eye.
