Ihre "Zwangsehe", wie Günter Grass sie einmal nannte, wurde offiziell am 1. Januar 1960 geschlossen: An diesem Tag besprach der Kritiker Marcel Reich- Ranicki "Die Blechtrommel" des gerade 32-jährigen Autors. Er verriss den Roman. Und so begann das wechselhafte Verhältnis von "MRR" und "GG". Ein halbes Jahrhundert der Auseinandersetzungen, zahlreiche Romane und Verrisse, Liebeserklärungen und Wut folgten.

Su capacidad crítica, su estatura intelectual y su peculiaridad estilística. lo convirtieron en una de las voces más reconocibles del panorama cultural hispánico.

Un solo foglio, un solo argomento, molti punti di vista.

Giulio Einaudi è stato qualcosa di più di quel grande editore che ha rinnovato il modo di fabbricare, leggere e utilizzare i libri. Essendo un essere geniale, ha dato all'arte di pubblicare libri una funzione nuova, più profonda e rivoluzionaria. I libri dovevano cambiare la vita dei lettori e il mondo che li circondava, dando a chi li leggeva la chiave magica che apriva tutte le porte e trasformava un pastore in un uomo colto che sapeva osservare e capire la realtà. Un'utopia?

What are you going to do for the rest of your life? For David Lawrence, Jr., a brilliant newspaper editor and publisher with a distinguished, three-decade-long journalism career who retired in 1999 at the age of 56, the answer in his words was to dedicate his life to a "[N]ewly energized purposefulness: that every child have a real chance to succeed."

How much of our memory is constructed by imagination? And how does memory shape our lives? As a nine-year old, Elizabeth Farnsworth struggled to understand the loss of her mother. On a cross-country trip with her father, the heartsick child searches for her mother at train stations along the way. Even more, she confronts mysteries: death, time, and a mysteriously locked compartment on the train. Weaving a child's experiences with memories from reporting in danger zones like Cambodia and Iraq, Farnsworth explores how she came to cover mass death and disaster.

He got a job shoveling sand, but through his intelligence, he worked his way up to become the biggest provider of cement, just as it was becoming the key material for building. Gene Pope, Jr., was his father’s choice to inherit and run the business, but Gene’s mother and two brothers forced him out, and he found himself penniless and on his own. With a loan from his godfather, mobster Frank Costello, Gene bought the New York Enquirer. He renamed it the National Enquirer.

Dan Savage’s mother wants him to get married. His boyfriend, Terry, says “no thanks” because he doesn’t want to act like a straight person. Their six-year-old son, D.J., says his two dads aren’t “allowed” to get married but that he’d like to come to the reception and eat cake. Throw into the mix Dan’s straight siblings, whose varied choices form a microcosm of how Americans are approaching marriage these days, and you get a rollicking family memoir that will have everyone - gay or straight, right or left, single or married - howling with laughter.
