Marie Colvin was glamorous, hard-drinking, braver than the boys, with a troubled and rackety personal life. With fierce compassion and honesty, she reported from the most dangerous places in the world, fractured by conflict and genocide, going in further and staying longer than anyone else. In Sri Lanka in 2001, Marie was hit by a grenade and lost the sight in her left eye - resulting in her trademark eye patch - and in 2012 she was killed in Syria. Like her hero, the legendary reporter Martha Gellhorn, she sought to bear witness to the horrifying truths of war..

Ida B. Wells is an American icon of truth telling. Born to slaves, she was a pioneer of investigative journalism, a crusader against lynching, and a tireless advocate for suffrage, both for women and for African Americans. She cofounded the NAACP, started the Alpha Suffrage Club in Chicago, and was a leader in the early civil rights movement. This engaging memoir relates Wells’ private life as a mother as well as her public activities as a teacher, lecturer, and journalist in her fight for equality and justice.

Confiteor è il racconto dell'uomo che sono diventato, non flusso di coscienza, ma fatti, storie. E l'attraversamento, in settant'anni di vita, di tre secoli, dal mio "Ottocento" a oggi. Piergiorgio Paterlini ci consegna un mondo, non soltanto un libro. Raccontando di sé - in una confessione sorprendente, spregiudicata, il bisbiglìo a un amico durante una lunga notte - incrocia la sua storia personale con quella di un Paese, tra amarcord e ricerca delle radici, tra romanzo di formazione e la scelta di vivere "dalla parte del torto".

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.

Herodotus, the fifth-century chronicler, scarcely figured in the curriculum when famed Polish writer and traveler Ryszard Kapuscinski attended university in the 1950s. Ryszard became a foreign correspondent who hoped to go abroad, perhaps to Czechoslovakia. Instead, he was sent to India—the first stop on a decades-long tour of the world. His only companion on his travels was a volume of Herodotus. In his journey across continents, Kapuscinski discovers his life's work: to understand and describe the non-Western world, in all its variety, through his still-virginal Western eyes.

Sean Mallen was ecstatic when he unexpectedly got the chance he’d always craved: to be a London-based foreign correspondent. Except: his tearful wife and six-year-old daughter hated the idea of uprooting their lives and moving to another country. Falling for London is the hilarious and touching story of how he convinced them to go, how they learned to live in and love that wondrous but challenging city, and how his dream came true in ways he could have never expected.

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.
