“口伝えによる語りは、文学の原点”　古代ギリシャ時代は吟遊詩人が全文（1万2000～1万5000行）暗記したテキストを楽器と共に朗読するのを聞いていました。現代では本にすべて記録してあり、いつでも必要なときにそれを開けばいいという安心感があるから、現代人は記憶力が乏しいのかもしれません…

This classic personal time-management book, originally published in 1908, has inspired generations of men and women to live deliberate lives.

Richard Ellmann has revised and expanded his definitive work on Joyce's life to include newly discovered primary material, including details of a failed love affair, a limerick about Samuel Beckett, a dream notebook, previously unknown letters, and much more.

Are women able to achieve anything they set their minds to? In How to Suppress Women’s Writing, award-winning novelist and scholar Joanna Russ lays bare the subtle - and not so subtle - strategies that society uses to ignore, condemn, or belittle women who produce literature. As relevant today as when it was first published in 1983, this book has motivated generations of readers with its powerful feminist critique.

Una viajera en el tiempo cautiva. Un jarl vikingo con una misión. ¿Será el matrimonio el precio de la libertad?

When facing a moral dilemma, Isabel Dalhousie--Edinburgh philosopher, amateur detective, and title character of a series of novels by best-selling author Alexander McCall Smith - often refers to the great twentieth-century poet W. H. Auden. This is no accident: McCall Smith has long been fascinated by Auden. Indeed, the novelist, best known for his No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series, calls the poet not only the greatest literary discovery of his life but also the best of guides on how to live.

From breakout stand-up comedian Iliza Shlesinger comes a subversively funny collection of essays and observations on a confident woman's approach to friendship, singlehood, and relationships. "Girl Logic" is Iliza's term for the way women obsess over details and situations that men don't necessarily even notice. She describes it as a characteristically female way of thinking that appears to be contradictory and circuitous but is actually a complicated and highly evolved way of looking at the world.

Las ideas son las protagonistas de este audio libro, pero no las ideas en abstracto sino las ideas encarnadas en personas con vidas tocadas por la pasión del poder, la historia y la revolución; y también por el amor, la amistad, la familia. Vidas reales, no ideas andantes. Por este audiolibro desfilan profetas de la redención como el heroico Martí, el idealista Rodó, el educador Vasconcelos o el indigenista Mariátegui.

This is perhaps one of the best-loved of all journals. William Wordsworth's sister, Dorothy, began it in May 1800 and resolved to keep it for a short time. She continued it for nearly three years. In it, she brought the Dove Cottage years to vivid and intimate life. She noted the walks and weather, the friends, country neighbours, and travellers on the roads. She set down accounts of the garden, of Wordsworth's marriage, their concern for Coleridge, and the composition of Wordsworth's poetry.

Vidyan Ravinthiran was born in the north of England to Sri Lankan Tamils, and moved to the United States five years ago. Considering identity in both its political and psychological senses, he leaps adventurously between memoir and criticism, understanding his life through poetry, and vice versa. This electric, compelling hybrid memoir discovers a new way of writing about the self and also literature.

Joyce, Sartre, D.H. Lawrence, Miller, Kerouac, Pasolini, Moravia, Testori, Bianciardi, Ginsberg, Tondelli, Busi: la lista degli scrittori che dal dopoguerra a oggi sono stati processati in Italia per “pubblicazioni oscene” comprende alcuni tra i più grandi nomi della letteratura italiana e mondiale dell’ultimo secolo.

In this lyrical meditation about the why of writing poetry, Joy Harjo reflects on significant points of illumination, experience, and questioning from her 50 years as a poet. Comprised of intimate vignettes that take us through the author’s life journey as a youth in the late 1960s, a single mother, and a champion of Native nations, this book offers a fresh understanding of how poetry functions as an expression of purpose, spirit, community, and memory.

Incantate fantasmagorie e sorprendenti divagazioni sono quelle che animano il capolavoro letterario di Ariosto. Un'opera che profetizza la modernità e le sue mai prevedibili traiettorie. Un'opera che sembra volerci raccontare di semplici cavalieri erranti appartenenti a un mondo lontano, e invece parla di noi, abitatori del ventunesimo secolo. Questo è l'Orlando furioso. Un'avventura letteraria di cui sono protagonisti la follia e l'amore.

In ogni casa ce n'è almeno uno, basta solo guardare bene: sono nascosti sugli scaffali della sala, con le coste gialle che si intravedono dietro a tomi seriosi e capolavori della letteratura; spuntano fuori a sorpresa da un portariviste, tra un quotidiano e un settimanale politico; appaiono magicamente nelle mani di figli e nipoti, cuginetti e fratelli minori, che sgranano gli occhi su quelle vignette con la stessa meraviglia con cui lo abbiamo fatto noi anni fa e i nostri genitori prima di noi.

In this quintessential work of queer theory, Jack Halberstam takes aim at the protected status of male masculinity and shows that female masculinity has offered a distinct alternative to it for well over two centuries. Demonstrating how female masculinity is not some bad imitation of virility, but a lively and dramatic staging of hybrid and minority genders, Halberstam catalogs the diversity of gender expressions among masculine women from 19th-century pre-lesbian practices to contemporary drag-king performances.

Duemila anni fa un uomo guardò alla cultura del futuro, e ne anticipò una buona parte in un'opera visionaria e avveniristica: l'uomo era il poeta Lucrezio, l'opera il poema "De rerum natura". Tutte le grandi teorie scientifiche di oggi (l'atomismo fisico-chimico, il materialismo psicologico, l'evoluzionismo biologico) sono esposte e difese nei suoi canti. Tutte le grandi superstizioni umanistiche di ieri (la filosofia non epicurea, la letteratura non realistica, la religione non deista) sono criticate e attaccate nelle sue invettive.

Tanto è manifesto l'appetito di Ezio Raimondi per i libri, che un'allieva impertinente gli attribuì la qualifica di "libridinoso". Non è però la passione del collezionista o del bibliomane. Il libro, dice Raimondi, è una creatura che ci parla, e leggere è un'occasione di incontro e di amicizia. Riandare ai libri che ci hanno accompagnato negli anni significa allora davvero ritrovare pagine e persone che ci sono state amiche.

Dopo Uomini e libri (2015), vincitore del premio Estense, del premio Biella della Giuria e del premio Rhegium Julii per la Saggistica, Mario Andreose ritorna, con il suo piglio narrativo, ai vagabondaggi tra editoria e letteratura di una lunga, inimitabile carriera.
