Liv Reese wakes up in the back of a taxi with no idea where she is or how she got there. When she’s dropped off at the door of her brownstone, a stranger answers—a stranger who claims to live in her apartment. She reaches for her phone to call for help, only to discover it’s missing. In its place is a bloodstained knife. Her hands are covered in scribbled messages, like graffiti on her skin: STAY AWAKE. Two years ago, Liv was thriving as a successful writer for a trendy magazine. Now, she’s lost and disoriented in a New York City that looks nothing like what she remembers.

"Ho deciso di partire. Non posso più restare qui, mi scoppia il cuore. Ho detto ieri al dottor Peyron che domani salirò sul treno e andrò via per sempre."

Un’autobiografia ideale e poetica, fatta anche di tanti ricordi, in cui Marco Goldin presta le sue parole al grande pittore olandese, con un passo narrativo coinvolgente e sempre fedele alle fonti storiche e all'epistolario.

But when Anne wants to go to her daughter's first birthday--now behind enemy lines in the middle of Great Britain's latest war with Spain--she turns for help to the only person she can trust: fellow female freebooter Mary Read.

With rapid globalization, the world is more deeply interconnected than ever before. While this has its advantages, it also brings with it systemic risks that are only just being identified and understood.
