Ahmet Altan è stato travolto dall'ondata di arresti che ha seguito, nel 2016, il fallito colpo di stato del 15 luglio contro Erdogan. Da allora è recluso in un carcere nei pressi di Istanbul. L'accusa a suo carico è di aver favoreggiato il golpe tramite "messaggi subliminali". Nel febbraio 2018 il suo processo-farsa si è concluso con un'atroce sentenza: ergastolo senza condizionale. "Non rivedrò più il mondo" è il messaggio che Altan lancia dalla sua cella: è un testo breve, che contiene molti universi.

When Christina Crawford’s harrowing chronicle of child abuse was first published in 1978, it brought global attention to the previously closeted subject. It also shed light on the guarded world of Hollywood and stripped away the façade of Christina’s relentless, alcoholic abuser: her adoptive mother, movie star Joan Crawford.

Months after the country achieved that independence from Great Britain, Gandhi’s life ended when an assassin killed him. But Gandhi’s legacy lives on. Gandhi’s rise to political and spiritual leadership is the incredible saga of a man who, in his youth, showed no signs of greatness but who became one of the most influential men of all time.

Giulia Zollino ha vissuto questa educazione - o, sarebbe meglio dire, diseducazione - sulla propria pelle. Poi, però, ha incontrato il femminismo. È successo a Bologna, durante gli anni burrascosi dell'università, tra gruppi di discussione, letture e orgasmi. Ed è stato amore a prima vista. Questo incontro ha segnato uno spartiacque tra un prima e un dopo, da qui è partito il suo percorso di ribellione e riscoperta di sé. Il femminismo le ha insegnato a distruggere i miti nocivi, come quello della bellezza, permettendole di accettare e riappropriarsi del suo corpo.

Um retrato íntimo e nuançado de Martin Luther King Jr., nesta que é mais abrangente biografia já escrita sobre ele. Martin Luther King Jr. é dos "pais fundadores" dos Estados Unidos. Essa ideia, que à primeira vista pode soar excêntrica, ganha consistência — e se torna até tímida — com a leitura desta biografia, fruto de pesquisa exaustiva e baseada em arquivos do FBI só agora liberados pela Casa Branca. Aliás, podemos ir mais longe e ver King como um dos fundadores da própria democracia liberal moderna.

Eleanor Roosevelt was no ordinary First Lady. Her life reads like an epic novel: childhood tragedy, political intrigue, personal betrayal, and ultimate triumph. Born into New York's elite Roosevelt family, Eleanor lost both parents by age ten and was raised by a stern grandmother who criticized her appearance and demeanor.

When the bodies of two Black men were found sitting with a crackpipe in a parked car in a rundown section of town in 1994, it seemed just another day in Kansas City, Kansas. The swift arrest and conviction of a seventeen-year-old Black kid from a broken home raised no eyebrows either. And yet, thirty years later, Lamonte McIntyre would prove to be the David that took down the Goliath of corruption that had long controlled the city’s power structure and enveloped the city’s justice system.

In 2018, artist and activist Erin Darcy launched In Her Shoes – Women of the Eighth, an online project where Irish women anonymously shared the realities of abortion under the Eighth Amendment. Within months, hundreds of stories poured in, breaking decades of taboo and helping shift public opinion before Ireland's historic vote to repeal the Amendment that May. Garnering over 100,000 followers and global media attention, the project became both a national reckoning and a personal act of healing for Darcy, who transformed grief into activism.

«Ordine compagni!» è la frase che risuona tra i cordoni di manifestanti incaricati di salvaguardare la compattezza e la sicurezza del corteo. È il Sessantotto, si aprono gli anni delle rivolte e delle stragi; quelli passati alla storia come "anni di piombo", solcati dalla paura e dalla voglia di cambiare il mondo, dal desiderio di riscatto e dalla lotta politica. Il Servizio d'ordine si identifica quindi come il braccio armato che coordina e protegge studenti e operai scesi in piazza, i rivoluzionari, i ribelli, i sognatori.
