Nearly a century after his wrenching death, the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) remains one of our most enigmatic writers. Believing he could do "more in dreams than Napoleon," yet haunted by the specter of hereditary madness, Pessoa invented dozens of alter egos, or "heteronyms," under whose names he wrote in Portuguese, English, and French. Unsurprisingly, this "most multifarious of writers" (Guardian) has long eluded a definitive biographer—but in renowned translator and Pessoa scholar Richard Zenith, he has met his match.

What would life be like for a Black boy growing up in Nazi Germany? This unprecedented autobiography answers that question with the spellbinding true story of Hans J. Massaquoi’s life in Hamburg during the height of Hitler’s regime. Hans is the son of a Black Liberian diplomat father and a white German mother. His father returns to Africa at the beginning of the war, leaving them behind in poverty without the means to flee. Within this tense atmosphere, increasingly violent Nazi policies and Allied bombing raids make Hans and his mother’s lives a day-to-day survival struggle.

He was never meant to rise—yet he did. From the riverbanks of Aguascalientes to the turbulence of the Texas foster care system, Anthony Gonzalez Harris’ journey is a raw, unflinching testament to survival, faith, and transformation.

"L'amicizia è una religione senza Dio né Giudizio finale. E non c'è neppure il diavolo. Una religione che non è estranea all'amore. Ma un amore dove la guerra e l'odio sono proscritti, dove il silenzio è possibile." L'amicizia, occasionale o fedele, è un sentimento che non tollera alcuna mancanza. È un atto di fede totale nell'altro, al punto che il suo tradimento è vissuto come una forma silenziosa di assassinio. Tahar Ben Jelloun esplora questo giardino segreto, le sue meraviglie e le sue ferite, e per farlo racconta di sé: dall'infanzia a oggi.

Kallifatides offers an eloquent, thought-provoking meditation on the writing life, and an author’s place in a changing world.
