“Ascolta il canto della vita. Non è un caos, è un cosmo. La felicità è uno stile di vita, non la conseguenza di un desiderio: è un’attitudine. Puoi essere felice qui ora: se riesci a essere in silenzio, consapevole della vita che ti circonda e che è anche dentro di te, sarai felice. Ogni cosa nell’esistenza è felice, ad eccezione di te. L’esistenza è felicità, è un’eterna celebrazione, è una festa.”

Il 5 agosto 2015 la città è caldissima, qualcuno è già in vacanza, altri cercano un po' d'aria nei giardini del quartiere. Anche Andrea Soldi è seduto su una panchina, ma quella è la "sua" panchina sempre, in ogni stagione. Lì si rifugia quando i pensieri lo assalgono, lì trova conforto e si sente a casa. Andrea soffre da anni di schizofrenia, la madre, il padre e la sorella sono il suo sostegno e piazza Umbria il posto del cuore.

Mary Welsh, a celebrated wartime journalist during the London Blitz and the liberation of Paris, meets Ernest Hemingway in May 1944. He becomes so infatuated with Mary that he asks her to marry him the third time they meet—although they are married to other people. Eventually, she succumbs to Ernest's campaign, and in the last days of the war joined him at his estate in Cuba. Through Mary's eyes, we see Ernest Hemingway in a fresh light. Their turbulent marriage survives his cruelty and abuse, perhaps because of their sexual compatibility and her essential contribution to his writing.

Oltre cento interviste distribuite nell'arco di quattro decenni: il più imponente corpus disponibile di autocommenti calviniani. L'effetto è quello di un grande cantiere autobiografico: un'autobiografia in progress, mobile e sfaccettata, costruita per successive espansioni. Un'autopresentazione simile a un prisma rotante che prende forma davanti ai nostri occhi, senza mai consentire una visione completa e stabilizzata. Proprio così, forse, Calvino avrebbe desiderato apparire: coerente ma non inerte, dinamico senza essere dispersivo, e intento a un'assidua costruzione di sé.

Anni fa, sulle rive del lago Bajkal, in Siberia, una donna mi lesse la mano. E un paio di anni dopo un bramino della città sacra di Vrindavan, in India, guardò nel mio futuro. Entrambi mi raccontarono delle stesse gioie che mi avrebbe riservato la vita. E della morte. Prematura e violenta. Che dovrebbe cogliermi tra poco.Alcune tra le cose predette si sono avverate. Altre non saprei. Le parole si sono perse nel tempo insieme alle cose a cui non do importanza. Ma con l’avvicinarsi di quell’appuntamento mi sono ritrovato a concentrarmi su un errore della divinazione.

Ein Glücksfall für die Historiker: Harry Graf Kessler (1868–1937) beschrieb das Zeitgeschehen der Jahre 1933-37. Seine Berichterstattungen geben präzise Einblicke in die politischen und gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen und sind Zeugnisse vom Leben und Denken eines aufgeklärten europäischen Intellektuellen. Kessler floh schon im März 1933 nach Frankreich und Spanien. Im Jahr 1935 wurden seine Bücher öffentlich verbrannt, aber bis zu seinem Tod führte er Gespräche mit Zeitgenossen und hielt die politischen Ereignisse akribisch fest. Kesslers Berichte sind ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Geschichtsschreibung dieser Zeit.
