For more than thirty years, Andy Rooney had the last word on the most-watched television program in history. "A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney"—a segment on 60 Minutes—aired from 1978 to 2011. A man of wit, gruffness, and common sense, Rooney spoke candidly about what drove him—and us—crazy, what brought us joy, and what made us human.

Nearly a century after his wrenching death, the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) remains one of our most enigmatic writers. Believing he could do "more in dreams than Napoleon," yet haunted by the specter of hereditary madness, Pessoa invented dozens of alter egos, or "heteronyms," under whose names he wrote in Portuguese, English, and French. Unsurprisingly, this "most multifarious of writers" (Guardian) has long eluded a definitive biographer—but in renowned translator and Pessoa scholar Richard Zenith, he has met his match.

On the other side of the world, his counterpart—Australian-born Rupert Murdoch—began with one small newspaper and parlayed it into more than 100 newspapers and magazines around the globe.

Vent’anni fa ci lasciava Indro Montanelli, il giornalista che ha attraversato tutto il Novecento e lo ha raccontato a lungo con la sua verve e il suo piglio controcorrente. Nato a Fucecchio nel 1909, cominciò la sua carriera «dentro alla cronaca» nella guerra d’Abissinia. Da allora, tutti i grandi eventi storici lo videro in prima linea: era nella Spagna della guerra civile, in Polonia quando i panzer tedeschi scatenarono il secondo conflitto mondiale, nei Paesi baltici e nella Finlandia calpestati dai carri armati sovietici.
