In There is No Humor in Heaven, Dwayne Eutsey challenges the persistent view of Twain as a hostile critic of religion by placing him within the prevailing liberal religious ethos of his time. Eutsey contends Twain’s vocation as a humorist was rooted in his frustrated youthful ambition to become a preacher of the Gospel. Throughout his life, his friendships with several influential liberal ministers, each of them espousing various forms of the era’s diverse progressive theology, informed not only Twain’s evolving religious worldview but his lecture performances and literary output.

Con una scrittura intima e vivida, l'autrice racconta storie di umanità e natura, in un affresco emotivo dove i cavalli diventano specchio e guida del percorso interiore. La narrazione, tra paesaggi toscani e atmosfere sudamericane, rivela una sensibilità rara nel cogliere le sfumature dell'esistenza, le molteplici forme dell'amore, per gli animali, per i luoghi, per le persone, e il coraggio necessario per trovare la propria strada.

Cos'è quel "brivido ai polpastrelli" a cui è impossibile resistere? La smania che porta gli scrittori, nei secoli, a gioire e disperarsi davanti al foglio bianco, alla macchina da scrivere, alla tastiera del computer? Con la disinvolta competenza del narratore navigato e il tono sornione dei suoi pezzi su " la Lettura " del " Corriere della Sera ", Piperno ci regala un'irresistibile riflessione sull'arte di scrivere. "Si scrive perché si sente il dovere di farlo" sosteneva Philip Larkin, con un'ironia che non trascura l'aspetto etico della questione.

Bien qu'Erik Satie soit principalement reconnu pour son œuvre de compositeur et pianiste, ses écrits poétiques sont à l'image de sa musique : souvent courts, empreints d'un humour absurde et d'une grande sensibilité mélancolique. La voix profonde et le timbre captivant de François Marthouret, se mêle ici aux harmonies délicates du piano de Christiane Gugger. La complicité sensible entre l'acteur et de la pianiste, souligne toute la musicalité et l'inattendu de ces écrits iconoclastes signés par l'un des plus grands précurseurs de son époque.
