Faiz Ahmed Faiz is the most famous contemporary Urdu poet of the 20th century who appeals both to the common man as well as the elite connoisseurs of poetry.

Per Antonio Moresco "leggere non è solo leggere, è un incontro e un incrocio forte e rischioso di cromosomi, di corpi, di menti, di sogni". Da una lettura così intensa e fusionale nasce il trascinante dialogo che Moresco intreccia in queste pagine con Susi Pietri, francesista, appassionata studiosa e lettrice, che lo interroga sul suo incontro con Balzac.

In the tradition of Calvino’s Italian Folktales, Greg Sarris, author of the award-winning novel Grand Avenue, turns his attention to his ancestral homeland of Sonoma Mountain in Northern California. In 16 interconnected original stories, the twin crows Question Woman and Answer Woman take us through a world unlike yet oddly reminiscent of our own: one that blooms bright with poppies, lupines, and clover; one in which Water Bug kidnaps an entire creek; in which songs have the power to enchant; in which Rain is a beautiful woman who keeps people’s memories in stones.

Corrispondenze, interviste, reportages, critiche ed elzeviri apparsi sul "Corriere della Sera" a firma di Buzzati durante l'intero arco della sua lunga carriera. Un eccezionale connubio tra giornalismo e letteratura.

La poesia di Ennio Cavalli non sopporta confini, tant'è che in questo libro attinge, flirta, si trasforma in prosa. La prosa, a sua volta, punta alla leggerezza, alla velocità di scavo, all'idea calviniana di "espressione necessaria, unica, densa, concisa, memorabile". Prosa e poesia si fondono così in quella sorta di "pensiero lungo" che fa da filo conduttore a tutta l'opera di Cavalli.
