Io sono Marilyn, sembra dire ogni parola di questo racconto struggente fatto di bellezza extraterrestre e sprecata, di amore infinito e sfinito, della donna più bella mai esistita, della donna più triste mai vissuta. Marilyn è un viaggio tra le lenzuola profumate di un’anima fragile in un corpo da bomba atomica. Marilyn icona, Marilyn desiderata dagli uomini di potere perché ambita e inarrivabile, Marilyn amante e mai moglie, Marilyn puttana e santa, Marilyn sopravvissuta a sua madre. Marilyn, la vita come un sogno a occhi aperti.

Rapidi, pastosi, materici come le pennellate di un pittore informale, i capitoli che compongono questa autobiografia, attraversano il Novecento più colto e avventuroso. Fra una risata irriverente e qualche nostalgia, Ezio Frigerio ricorda la sua lunga esistenza con una sorprendente lucidità sentimentale. Nato da famiglia benestante comasca durante il fascismo, l’autore non esita a sorridere malignamente della buona borghesia locale.

Окаянные дни - это по сути дневниковые записи Ивана Алексеевича Бунина сделанные им на фоне событий, разворачивавшихся в России во время революции и последовавшей за ней гражданской войны. Книгу условно можно разделить на три части: наблюдений автора за происходящим в Москве в 1918 году, в Одессе в 1919 году и выдержки из последующих заметок, имеющих отношение к теме революции. Первые части книги показывают нам положение постоянной неопределенности, с которой сталкивалось большинство людей: угрозы голода, погромов.

Questa storia comincia una sera d’inverno, il 7 gennaio 1978. Davanti a una sede del Movimento sociale italiano nel quartiere Appio Latino, a Roma, vengono uccisi a colpi d’arma da fuoco due attivisti di destra. Da quel momento, i morti di Acca Larentia diventano icone intoccabili del neofascismo. Questa storia ricomincia il 30 aprile 1987, quando viene arrestato Mario Scrocca, un militante di estrema sinistra. Secondo gli inquirenti, Scrocca avrebbe fatto parte del commando che colpì ad Acca Larentia.

It's hard to get inside friendship: its particular intensity; its singular ease; the way it can wax and wane; its ability to cause uncommon pain. This is the territory of novels and letters, poems and graphic novels - which is where The Virago Book of Friendship steps in. Celebratory, but also explanatory and wide in scope - from the Bible to Yellowface, from school friends to the loss of friends in old age - this wonderful book includes Jane Austen, Nora Ephron, Toni Morrison, Vivian Gornick, Helen Garner, LM Montgomery, Dolly Alderton - among nearly one hundred others.

When her mother Celia Paget died, Ariane Bankes inherited a battered trunk stuffed with letters and diaries belonging to Celia and her twin Mamaine. This correspondence charted the remarkable lives of the Paget sisters and their friends and lovers, including Arthur Koestler, Albert Camus, Sartre and de Beauvoir, Edmund Wilson and George Orwell.

Rituales chamánicos, el tamborilero que derrotó a Napoleón en 1808, un alcalde que balbucea ante Franco y espárragos que avistan ovnis: todo tiene cabida en El Bruc, un municipio a los pies de Montserrat que puede ser leído como un palimpsesto. El autor, un forastero apenas aterrizado, se entrega al ritmo biológico de la montaña y la observa y la vive desde sus estratos simbólicos y místicos, históricos y glocales.

La presencia de diversos personajes, como una abuela furibunda y su hermana "libertina", salpica de humor, pero también de fragilidad, las páginas de esta obra que se borda entre el sueño y la vigilia. León de Lidia es un libro inclasificable con historias autónomas, un cuaderno de imágenes y dibujos, una colección de retratos familiares o imaginarios y, sobre todo, una conmovedora novela fragmentaria en la que Myriam Moscona asume las marcas de su singularidad estética. Con una prosa decantada que abreva de su herencia mexicana, búlgara y sefardí...

Born in Edinburgh, Naomi Mitchison spent most of the Second World War in the fishing village of Carradale on Kintyre, her home until her death aged 101. Her life was crowded with incident, and her attitudes to events predictably forceful, original and honest. Throughout the war she kept a diary at the request of the research organisation Mass Observation, in which she recorded both the momentous events of the time, and also how one family and their friends lived, what they hoped for and what actually happened. Her diaries developed far beyond the confines of a social document.

This is the gripping, urgent and moving diary of young Ukrainian refugee Yeva Skalietska. It follows twelve days in Ukraine that changed 12-year-old Yeva's life forever. She was woken in the early hours to the terrifying sounds of shelling. Russia had invaded Ukraine, and her beloved Kharkiv home was no longer the safe haven it should have been. It was while she and her granny were forced to seek shelter in a damp, cramped basement that Yeva decided to write down her story. And it is a story that the world needs to hear.

Ein Glücksfall für die Historiker: Harry Graf Kessler (1868 – 1937) beschreibt das Zeitgeschehen in den Jahren 1930 + 1931. Seine Beobachtungen sind sehr genau und zeugen von der Bildung eines aufgeklärten Europäers. Besonders elegant sind die etwas schmunzelnden manchmal aber auch etwas bitter klingenden voranschreitenden Kommentare. Ein Rezensent drückte es sehr treffend aus: "Ein wunderbarer Zeitzeuge, klug und aufmerksam". 30/31 sind die Jahre des Aufstiegs der Nazis und deren Kriege mit den liberaleren Kräften.
