C'è un conflitto di cui sentiamo parlare da sempre, e sempre più spesso. Una guerra che seguiamo da lontano, ma che continua a influenzare il nostro presente da vicino, perché rivela con chiarezza quanto il mondo stia attraversando una fase di profondo smarrimento. Elia Milani, corrispondente di Mediaset da Gerusalemme, lo sa bene: da otto anni descrive in diretta ciò che accade in Israele e Palestina. In questo libro, senza abbandonare lo sguardo attento del cronista, affianca al reportage un racconto più personale.

The "endlessly compelling" (NYT Book Review) untold story of a trailblazing Paris correspondent for The New Yorker, who sounded the alarm about the rise of fascism in Europe while becoming enmeshed in the sensational case of a German serial killer stalking the streets of the French capital on...

Everyone knows the bike. No one knows the man. The stars-and-stripes chopper from Easy Rider became the most recognizable motorcycle in history, thundering across movie screens and into the hearts of a generation. But while Captain America's bike achieved immortality, its creator remained anonymous—a humble craftsman whose genius was overshadowed by his own masterpiece. Ben Hardy was the forgotten architect of the American dream on two wheels. Working from his small Los Angeles shop, Hardy didn't just build motorcycles—he forged symbols of freedom that would define an entire era.

Najnowsza publikacja Iwony Kienzler poświęcona jest tytułowym „grzechom" Żeromskiego, jego burzliwej, pełnej miłosnych przygód młodości oraz zawiłościom życia w małżeństwie i w konkubinacie. Autorka nie pomija także literackiej spuścizny pisarza i przybliża okoliczności powstawania jego kolejnych dzieł. Celem książki nie jest bowiem strącenie „sumienia narodu" z pomnika, który wystawiły mu przeszłe pokolenia, a jedynie ukazanie jego ludzkiego oblicza.

Have you ever felt boxed in by the limitations of your own life choices or other people's labels? In unboxing Blu, author and humorist Blu Wyatt takes us on a hilarious wild ride through her life and the many boxes she's found herself in--either by her own choices or other people's less-than-positive expectations. Through fourteen head injuries, a bipolar diagnosis, suicide attempts, and a daddy who said she'd never amount to anything, Blu Wyatt's story shouldn't have ended well--but it did, and she'll keep you laughing through it all!

Ce livre retrace minutieusement la vie de l'auteur du Mythe de Cthulhu, de son enfance solitaire et pleine d'explorations à sa mort prématurée, rongé par la maladie et la pauvreté. Si le « Maître de Providence » se revendique comme fondamentalement cartésien, de nombreux indices disséminés dans ses écrits (romans, correspondance, poèmes et essais) laissent penser tout le contraire ! Entre un rationalisme affirmé et des croyances secrètes obsessionnelles, H. P Lovecraft est une énigme presque parfaite.

Escritor extraordinariamente popular y testigo de excepción de los cambios que convulsionaron la Europa del siglo XX entre las dos guerras mundiales, Zweig recuerda, desposeído y en tierra extraña—en unas circunstancias personales de insospechado dramatismo—, los momentos fundamentales de su vida, paralela en mucho a la desintegración de aquella Europa central que se quería más libre y segura, al abrigo de la locura y la tormenta. El resultado es un libro capital, uno de los mejores de Zweig y referencia inexcusable para entender los desvaríos de un siglo devastador.

Sophia Maier reist dorthin, wo die Geschichten der Betroffenen beginnen: nach Syrien, Afghanistan, Palästina, in den Libanon, die Ukraine und an die Ränder Europas. Sie hört zu, fragt nach – mit Empathie und Respekt. Ihre Begegnungen erzählen von Schmerz und Verlust, aber auch von Würde, Widerstandskraft und Hoffnung – und davon, wo die blinden Flecken westlicher Politik liegen. Denn die Schicksale, denen sie begegnet, stehen nicht isoliert im Raum. Sie werden von Ländern wie Deutschland mitverursacht.

Wit and Wisdom of Oscar Wilde is a timeless collection of the sharpest observations, paradoxes, and epigrams from one of literature’s most brilliant minds. Oscar Wilde’s wit is elegant, mischievous, and relentlessly insightful. With effortless precision, he skewers social conventions, exposes hypocrisy, and reveals enduring truths about love, ambition, beauty, morality, and human folly. Each quotation stands alone yet contributes to a larger portrait of Wilde’s worldview—one that prizes individuality, intellectual courage, and the art of living well.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (January 3, 1892 to September 2, 1973) was an English writer and philologist. He was the author of the high fantasy works The Hobbit (1937) and The Lord of the Rings (1954–55). While many other authors had published works of fantasy before Tolkien, the success of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings precipitated an avalanche of new books and authors in the genre.

You will never forget 9 Hours Later which is the fifth volume in my Daily Autobiography series. It’s a daily diary written in the aftermath of divorce, while living alone again, dating as a sober man, and rebuilding momentum one ordinary day at a time. I didn’t write this to fit a genre or deliver a clean arc. I wrote it to document what actually happens when the structure of marriage disappears and you’re left alone with time, desire, discipline, and your own thoughts. Sobriety runs through everything here.

Julian Barnes wird im Januar 2026 achtzig Jahre alt. Er weiß, dass die längste Zeit seines Lebens hinter ihm liegt, und er möchte die Kontrolle darüber behalten, wie man auf dieses Leben blicken wird. Als Julian Barnes erfährt, dass er eine Krankheit hat, die für ihn tödlich sein kann, aber nicht sein muss, heißt das für ihn, die Dinge zu ordnen. Was zählt im Leben, welche Lebensphase war wichtig, oder trügt die Erinnerung?

На этот раз Денис Драгунский переносит нас в атмосферу конца 60-х и начала 70-х, на легендарный филфак МГУ — в мир шумных коридоров и высоких академических амбиций. Здесь кипит жизнь и рождается крепкая дружба, вспыхивают научные соперничества и, конечно, первые серьёзные влюблённости. Новая часть автобиографии рассказывает обо всём, что делает период студенчества таким незабываемым. Строгие, но невероятно обаятельные преподаватели. Языки, которые вроде бы «мёртвые», а на деле — полны жизни.

Как рождаются книги? От авторской задумки до публикации книгу ведет за собой редактор — важнейшая фигура в книгоиздании. Однако добиться успеха в книжном бизнесе не так просто, особенно если вы — женщина, живущая в ХХ веке. Такой женщиной была Джудит Джонс, которая за 50 лет работы с книгами из-за кулис изменила облик литературы от Нью-Йорка до Парижа. Обладая тонким литературным чутьем, она построила успешную карьеру в то время, когда книжным миром заправляли мужчины.

Steven L Herman, chief national correspondent for the nonpartisan, government-funded Voice of America (VOA), weaves together memoir and history to pull back the curtain on the inner workings of the White House press corps, giving listeners a rare glimpse into the historic and current relationship between the president and the press.

Jorge Ibargüengoitia relata, a su inconfundible manera, sus impresiones sobre la Revolución cubana y la Guerra Fría cultural en este libro que reúne textos inéditos, versiones originales de crónicas y correspondencia que ofrecen una perspectiva única y crítica de un momento histórico determinante. La obra rescata la versión íntegra de «Revolución en el jardín», donde el autor narra con ironía su estancia en Cuba tras ganar dos veces el Premio Casa de las Américas (1963 y 1964) y sus desencuentros con las expectativas políticas de la isla.

Paola Caridi ci presenta e racconta le storie dietro agli alberi – e ai giardini botanici – più simbolici del Medio Oriente e del Mediterraneo. Con queste storie – sorprendenti, personali, politiche e tragiche – fa vivere anche le storie degli uomini e delle donne che hanno deciso di abitare la terra dove questi alberi hanno messo radici.
