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.

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.

Erinnerungen aus dem Jahre 1848: Ich will meine Erinnerungen aus dem Revolutionsjahr 48 niederschreiben. Da tritt denn gleich von vornherein ein bedenklicher Unstern scheinbar hindernd entgegen.

Verdelle of Morgan State University will bring new insight and context to the work of an American literary master, one whose project was ultimately to write about Black people and their experiences through their own eyes.

Nearly one hundred and seventy years have passed since Charlotte Brontë took her last breath, but astonishingly, witnesses to her life still survive. These were present as she penned the first lines of Jane Eyre, as she walked the cobbled streets of Haworth with her sisters, as she dined with William Makepeace Thackeray at his home in London or as she joined Arthur Bell Nicholls at the altar in the summer of 1854.
