Esa es la única receta (esa y algún croissant) que encuentra esta familia para afrontar una enfermedad terminal. ¿Dudas? Todas. ¿Dolor? Infinito. ¿Amor? Más, siempre más.

"We are all prompted by the same motives, all deceived by the same fallacies, all animated by hope, obstructed by danger, entangled by desire, and seduced by pleasure."

And it has a special purpose: presenting the story of Sam’s life in a shorter form than any other researched biography and conveying that story in a style that’s clear and accessible for any general audience.

Amanda ha tenido siempre una mirada aguda e irónica acerca de sí misma y de quienes la rodean: sabe estar sola y acompañada. Sin embargo, en este libro nos revela dos aspectos de su ser menos conocido: su destreza informal para la fabulación: sabe relatar historias breves por medio de un ritmo más seductor que acosador. Y, por otra parte, abandona la guerra cotidiana que libra a cada momento de su vida como artista popular y nos propone a un ser menos glamuroso, pero más humano.

Ted Kooser sees a writer’s workbooks as the stepping-stones on which a poet makes his way across the stream of experience toward a poem. Because those wobbly stones are only inches above the quotidian rush, what’s jotted there has an immediacy that is intimate and close to life.

Nel luglio del 1916, Garsington, la villa di campagna della patrona delle arti Ottoline Morrell, non è solo un rifugio per obiettori di coscienza in piena Prima guerra mondiale, ma un vero e proprio teatro dove, settimana dopo settimana, approda «una compagnia di giro», pronta a esibirsi senza pudore. C’è chi legge Keats ad alta voce, chi dipinge nudi en plein air, chi alleva maiali, chi scrive opuscoli contro la leva obbligatoria.

LPodría decirse que Isaac Asimov, el mayor escritor de ciencia ficción que ha existido, poseía una de las mentes más brillantes y creativas del siglo XX. Su estilo cuidado y accesible, y sus intereses de largo alcance en temas que van desde la ciencia al humor, pasando por la historia, le valieron el apodo de «El gran narrador». Esta es la historia del genio paradójico que escribió sobre viajes a las estrellas y se negó a volar en avión; que imaginó universos extraterrestres y vastas civilizaciones galácticas mientras se quedaba en casa entre páginas.

"Who is Mr Ian Fleming, the creator of this—to put it mildly—rubbish?" The whole Bond phenomenon is attacked as pornography, capitalist filth and anti-socialist poison. Here, translated into English for the first time, you will also hear the long Russian critique of the Bond films by Maja Turovskaya published in 1966, and the extremely interesting account that appeared in Prague the following year of Sean Connery’s rise to fame. A bonus is the Bulgarian attempt to publish a novel in which Bond was killed.

“Sono trascorsi molti anni dalla prima pubblicazione di questo fortunato libretto che è stato amato dalle donne oltre le aspettative. In questi anni sono accadute molte cose: le scrittrici intervistate sono tutte scomparse, alcune hanno visto crescere la loro fama, alcune sono state dimenticate.
