Die Texte begleiten durch die Zeit nach dem Abschied, durch Erinnerungen, Schuldgefühle, Dankbarkeit, Sehnsucht und das vorsichtige Weitergehen im Alltag.

Philippe Torreton a passé trois nuits avec le Samusocial. Trois nuits de maraude dans Paris, aux côtés des bénévoles, des infirmiers, des travailleurs sociaux et des gens qui vivent dans la rue. De ces heures transcrites, il tire un long poème en prose qui n'a rien d'emprunté ou d'artificiel. Il raconte au contraire avec une vivacité saisissante la misère, la spirale infernale, la folie parfois, ou l'exil, mais aussi l'engagement, l'espoir, l'amitié et l'impuissance de ceux qui se battent, la colère de ne pouvoir faire plus.

The story of Christopher Isherwood's life is one of pilgrimage: away from the constraints of inheritance and empire and toward authenticity and spiritual illumination. Isherwood—the author of Goodbye to Berlin, which inspired Cabaret, and A Single Man—was born the heir to a crumbling English estate. He died an icon of gay liberation in California while his partner, Don Bachardy, painted his death portrait.

In 1978 Deanna met her hermit husband in Northern BC while she was working as a forestry lookout attendant. For the next thirteen years she led the life of a pioneering mother in the wilderness. Over a hundred miles from the nearest paved road and cut off from most contact with the outside world, Deanna and her husband Jay built a life and raised their children in the stunning beauty and staggering isolation of the Ningunsaw Valley.

Escritos entre 1944 e 1962, situados entre o ensaio e a autobiografia, os onze relatos de As pequenas virtudes são um marco da escrita memorialística do século XX. Sem idealizações nem sentimentalismos, As pequenas virtudes é fruto de uma prosa límpida, aliada ao vigor típico dos escritores que, ao falar de coisas simples, revelam as questões humanas mais profundas. Nestes onze textos, a escritora italiana Natalia Ginzburg não faz delimitações entre as dimensões social e histórica, construindo uma obra singular e de raro afeto.

After finishing my last book, I found myself not blocked but fatigued. The creative process had worn me down. Friends advised, “Take time off, recharge.” Easier said than done. Writing is as natural to me as breathing; to stop would be unthinkable. So, I carried this conundrum for months, letting it ferment in my dwindling supply of productive brain cells, until the answer appeared: Write a book of quotes. The words emblazoned themselves across my mind, flickering insistently until I surrendered.

Il Camilleri dell'epistolario è un infervorato studente fuorisede. Vive a Roma. È un borsista dell'Accademia Nazionale d'Arte Drammatica. Ha due insigni maestri, Silvio d'Amico e Orazio Costa. Fa subito amicizia con Vittorio Gassman, giovane attore del teatro di posa. Lui studia regia teatrale. È un moderno Robinson Crusoe, che di continuo deve inventarsi un alloggio sempre provvisorio, le suppellettili necessarie, tutti i gesti della giornata tra il lavaggio della biancheria e la ricerca di un ristorantino alla portata delle sue tasche semivuote. Camilleri è giovane, giovanissimo.
