"La nostra lingua manca di parole per esprimere questa offesa, la demolizione di un uomo". Con ostinazione e pacatezza, Primo Levi non ha mai smesso di cercare le parole per raccontare l'atrocità della deportazione e del campo di sterminio di Auschwitz, in cui venne internato dal febbraio 1944 al 27 gennaio 1945. Parole di testimonianza sconvolgente e di grande potenza narrativa che vengono qui accolte e restituite ad alta voce da Roberto Saviano.

One of the few people who could turn his garrulous friend Theodore Roosevelt into a listener, Burnham was once world famous as "the American scout". His expertise in woodcraft, learned from frontiersmen and Indians, helped inspire another friend, Robert Baden-Powell, to found the Boy Scouts. His adventures encompassed Apache wars and range feuds and death-defying military feats that brought him renown and high honors.

In the early years of the 18th century, a band of French scientists set off on a daring, decade-long expedition to South America in a race to measure the precise shape of the earth. Like Lewis and Clark's exploration of the American West, their incredible mission revealed the mysteries of a little-known continent to a world hungry for discovery. Scaling 16,000-foot mountains in the Peruvian Andes, and braving jaguars, pumas, insects, and vampire bats in the jungle, the scientists barely completed their mission.

Claire wasn’t looking for a different life. She already had one. Then a ticket showed up in her inbox. What followed wasn’t a plan. It wasn’t a fantasy. It was movement. Fast. Reckless. Undeniable. Las Vegas. Europe. A connection she couldn’t explain and couldn’t control. A life waiting back home. A choice she didn’t plan to make. This is not a story about what it all meant. It’s about what it felt like to live it. Just the moments as they happened,before the meaning settled. Based on a true story too wild to be fiction. The gamble wasn’t Vegas. It was him.

"I felt like killing myself." That's the sentence Paula Axelrod couldn't say out loud, until a poster taped to a dormitory wall gave her somewhere to go. What followed was twenty years of therapy spent unpacking a childhood ruled by an alcoholic father, a mother's own eating disorder, and a family that made love feel dangerous. It's the story of a miscarriage, a lost sense of self, and the slow, unglamorous work of finding her way back, through psychoanalysis, through painting, and eventually into a forty-year marriage and a son adopted from Romania. This isn't a polished self help book.
