Что итальянец может рассказать нам про величайшую русскую поэтессу? Анна Ахматова — та, что, как говорил Иосиф Бродский, "одним только тоном голоса или поворотом головы превращала вас в гомо сапиенс". Женщина, пережившая две мировые войны и ставшая самым популярным голосом России в тяжелые для страны времена. Она страдала, как страдают души, которые, даже сдаваясь, не сдаются. Она не переставала писать, даже когда ее стихи могли передаваться только из уст в уста. В конце жизни она смогла стать тем, кем хотела — величайшей поэтессой своего времени.

Sam Shepard was a true American original. A theater and film icon who lived life on a mythic scale, Shepard became an embodiment of the fierce independence and wild freedom of the American West. Taking us from the creative explosion of downtown New York City in the 1960s to Bob Dylan’s legendary Rolling Thunder Revue tour, from Hollywood backlots and film shoots in the Mojave Desert to the horse ranches where Shepard went to escape it all, Robert M. Dowling’s biography reveals this playwright, actor, and filmmaker as we’ve never known him before.

Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' was published when she was 20 years old, but it is more than just a precocious book of early science fiction. In Episode 3 of The Book Club, Amit Varma explains how Shelley fearlessly tackled big themes, and delved as deep into human nature as the best literature of the time. Her book gave birth to many tropes that still exist – and showed an ambition that has since characterised the best writing in a genre she helped create.

"Recuerdo la mañana en que conocí a Octavio Paz. Fue el 11 de marzo de 1976, en el Panteón Jardín, cuando un grupo de amigos despedíamos al gran ensayista Daniel Cosío Villegas [...] Me acerqué a él para proponerle la publicación en su revista Plural de un ensayo mío sobre el ilustre liberal recién desaparecido. Días después, mi nombre apareció junto al suyo, pero nunca sospeché que ese vínculo sería permanente."

When Hua Hsu first meets Ken in a Berkeley dorm room, he hates him. A frat boy with terrible taste in music, Ken seems exactly like everyone else. For Hua, who makes zines and haunts indie record shops, Ken represents all that he defines himself in opposition to – the mainstream. The only thing Hua, the son of Taiwanese immigrants, and Ken, whose Japanese American family has been in the US for generations, have in common is that, however they engage with it, American culture doesn’t seem to have a place for either of them.

When Lyn Slater started her fashion blog, Accidental Icon, at age sixty-one, she discovered that followers were flocking to her account for more than just her A-list style. As Lyn flaunted gray hair, wrinkles, and a megadose of self-acceptance, they found in her an alternative model of older life: someone who defied the stereotypes, refused to become invisible, and showed that all women have the opportunity to be relevant and take major risks at any stage of their life. Youth is not the only time we can be experimental. How to Be Old tells the ten-year story of Lyn’s sixties.

La condizione delle donne negli anni del femminismo, e quella degli ebrei e dello Stato di Israele; la bellezza e l’orrore di Roma, e la fragilità di una democrazia (la nostra) sempre sotto minaccia; alcuni scrittori da amare; alcuni film visti con l’occhio di scrittrice; le biografie di alcuni amici (Cesare Pavese, Felice Balbo); e poi, ancora, la nostra incertezza e la nostra necessità di scegliere; la memoria dell’infanzia, da decifrare, e la vita dei figli adulti, che suscita meraviglia e insicurezza. Questi trenta testi costituiscono il più multiforme e battagliero libro di Natalia Ginzburg.

No one knows whether Homer was a real person, but there is no doubt that the epic poems assembled under his name are foundations of Western literature. The Iliad and the Odyssey—with their tales of the Trojan War, Achilles, Odysseus and Penelope, the Cyclops, the beautiful Helen of Troy, and the petulant gods—have inspired us for over two and a half millennia and influenced writers from Plato to Virgil, Pope to Joyce, and Dante to Margaret Atwood.

The paintings of Johannes Vermeer of Delft are some of the most beautiful, even sublime, in the history of art. Yet like the life of Vermeer himself, they are mysterious and have for centuries defied explanation. Following new leads, and drawing on a mass of historical evidence, some of it freshly uncovered in the archives of Delft and Rotterdam, Andrew Graham-Dixon paints a dramatically new picture of Vermeer, revealing many of the painter’s hitherto unknown friendships as well as his previously undetected allegiance to a radical movement driven underground by persecution.

One morning Mel Toews put on his coat and hat and walked out of town, prepared to die.

Yet after a lifetime of struggle, he could no longer face the darkness of manic depression.

Una nueva, revolucionaria y muy documentada aportación a los estudios sobre Marcel Proust. Aunque hoy casi nadie lo recuerde, Marcel Proust escribió En busca del tiempo perdido, gracias a una extraordinaria capacidad de percepción que le permitió ver lo que nadie pudo. Sus contemporáneos lo consideraron un "médium despierto" y hablaron de él en términos que hoy lo vinculan a los fenómenos psíquicos. Este hecho —demostrado en las páginas de este estudio— fue silenciado por la crítica literaria... hasta ahora.

DOYLE'S WORLD is no ordinary biography about one of the world's most influential writers. It is instead a work that deciphers in particular the cryptic origins and actual scientific methods used by fiction's most famous consulting detective Sherlock Holmes—and a work that provides a detailed look into the psyche and working life of Holmes’ creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The book follows Doyle’s entire illustrious literary career, with emphasis on the Sherlock Holmes mysteries as they evolved from the late 1880s to the early 1900s.

" Le 19 avril 1980, une foule immense, silencieuse, accompagne le convoi funèbre de Sartre jusqu’au cimetière du Montparnasse, à Paris. Derrière Simone de Beauvoir, en tête de cortège, plus de cin-quante mille personnes sont venues rendre un dernier hommage au penseur français le plus célèbre au monde. Comment expliquer sa notoriété, comment mesurer aujourd’hui l’impact de la pensée et de l’écriture de Sartre dans la société actuelle ?
