Un'ereditiera californiana viene rapita dall'Esercito di liberazione simbionese, diventa l'amante di uno dei terroristi e terrorista lei stessa, poi sposa la sua guardia del corpo e va a vivere con figli e cani in una casa finto-spagnola iper-blindata. Una banchiera d'affari di Manhattan mentre fa jogging a Central Park viene aggredita da sei adolescenti neri e ispanici, stuprata, torturata con dei rami e ridotta in fin di vita.

La vita umana, insegna l’induismo, si divide in quattro periodi: il primo serve per imparare, guidati da un maestro; il secondo per realizzare sé stessi...

Chapters from My Autobiography is a collection of twenty-five pieces of autobiographical work published by American author Mark Twain in the North American Review between September 1906 and December 1907.

In this deeply personal book, the celebrated Haitian-American writer Edwidge Danticat reflects on art and exile. Inspired by Albert Camus and adapted from her own lectures for Princeton University’s Toni Morrison Lecture Series, here Danticat tells stories of artists who create despite (or because of) the horrors that drove them from their homelands. Combining memoir and essay, these moving and eloquent pieces examine what it means to be an artist from a country in crisis.

鎌倉に小さな古い家を借りて、久し振りの一人暮らし。朝は早起きしてお寺の座禅会に参加し、夜は屋上でビール片手に満天の星を観る。ペンギンと恋人のように待ち合わせして夕食を楽しんだり、近くの小川を

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.

Celebrated for her award-winning political columns, criticism, and poetry, Katha Pollitt offers something new in this poignant, hilarious, and sometimes outrageous collection of stories drawn from her own life.

«Estas conferencias se titulan Confesiones de un joven novelista, y cabría preguntarse por qué, teniendo en cuenta que ya he cumplido más de setenta años. Pero resulta que publiqué mi primera novela, El nombre de la rosa, en 1980, de modo que empecé mi carrera como novelista hace cosa de treinta años.
