William Morris was a giant of the Victorian age, and his beautiful creations and provocative philosophies are still with us today: but his wife, Jane, is too often relegated to a footnote. In truth, Jane and William's personal and creative partnership was the central collaboration of both their lives. The homes they made together were works of art in themselves, and the great labour of their lives was life itself: through their houses and the objects they filled them with, they explored how we all might live a life more focused on beauty and fulfilment.

John Lennon is often known as the rebellious, troubled Beatle - as if his disposition was just a bit gloomier than the rest. Lennon did indeed have his struggles in life. He was raised by an austere and controlling aunt, and he barely knew his own mother and father. As a result, Lennon grew up with a serious need for love, affection, and attention. It was this desire for recognition that would drive Lennon to reach for the stars. Come along as we explore the life and legend of John Lennon, from his troubled childhood, to his superstardom and eventual assassination in 1980.

Vincent van Gogh is undoubtedly one of the most influential painters of the end of the 19th century. An entire museum in Amsterdam is dedicated to the works of Vincent van Gogh. And even though his name is famous now, his life was tough, and he faced many fears, worries, and inner demons. The sad reality that this artist’s success wasn’t evident during his life but only after his death doesn’t change the fact that he is, nevertheless, a grand success. Let’s discuss the circumstances under which this Dutch painter lived, and what moved him to go in the direction he did.

Di Luca Ronconi (1933-2015), uno dei grandi intellettuali del secondo Novecento, è nota la proverbiale riservatezza. Qui, a differenza dei molti libri su di lui, è Ronconi stesso a parlare di sé. Ascoltiamo dunque sulla pagina la voce del regista, che – raggiunti i sessant'anni – ripercorre la propria esistenza, non inseguendo gli aneddoti o i capricci della memoria, ma cercando di arrivare alla scoperta del senso della vita.

L'ex "somaro" Pennac racconta la sua esperienza di alunno prima e di insegnante poi, mescolando ricordi autobiografi ci e riflessioni sulla pedagogia, sulle universali disfunzioni dell'istituto scolastico e sul ruolo della famiglia. Con la solita verve, ma con una nuova furiosa dolcezza, l'autore movimenta riflessioni e affondi teorici con episodi buffi e toccanti e colloca la nozione di amore al centro della relazione pedagogica. E riflette sulla mai sedata sete di sapere che anima i giovani d'oggi come quelli di ieri.

4 giugno 1944, gli americani entrano a Roma.

Finding success in this thing called “life” can be complicated. Sometimes we’re driven by an insatiable hunger; other times, we drift in life aimlessly looking for purpose. Yet, what appears to be circumstances meant to bury us can become the foundation from which we grow. In life, we grow strong and resilient simply because of our courage to continue through seemingly insurmountable obstacles. This audiobook is an example of what happens when perseverance becomes less of an admirable quality and more of a way of life.

Questo audiolibro vuole ricordare cosa sono stati il cinema, il teatro, la televisione e la radio di alcuni anni fa. A volte con un po' di nostalgia, perché alcune di quelle atmosfere non torneranno più, ma soprattutto con tanta ironia: aneddoti, scherzi, situazioni bizzarre, sono tante le cose da ricordare.
