Confiteor è il racconto dell'uomo che sono diventato, non flusso di coscienza, ma fatti, storie. E l'attraversamento, in settant'anni di vita, di tre secoli, dal mio "Ottocento" a oggi. Piergiorgio Paterlini ci consegna un mondo, non soltanto un libro. Raccontando di sé - in una confessione sorprendente, spregiudicata, il bisbiglìo a un amico durante una lunga notte - incrocia la sua storia personale con quella di un Paese, tra amarcord e ricerca delle radici, tra romanzo di formazione e la scelta di vivere "dalla parte del torto".

Lui, Roberto Calasso, è l'editore che raccoglie autori di tutto il mondo sotto il tetto della casa editrice Adelphi, di cui è direttore editoriale, oltre a essere scrittore di grande erudizione e raffinatezza. Lei, Anna Katharina Fröhlich, si trasferisce da Francoforte a Mornaga, sul lago di Garda. È una donna giovane e avventurosa, circondata da libri e da un rigoglioso giardino, sulla strada per diventare una scrittrice di successo. I due si incontrano per la prima volta alla Fiera del libro di Francoforte nell'ottobre del 1995.

In sports, not all the long shots who succeed are athletes. In 1984, Tom Hammond, a forty-year-old sportscaster who had primarily worked in Kentucky and the Southeast, got an unlikely opportunity to appear on the NBC Sports telecast of the inaugural Breeders' Cup. Assigned to report from the stall area on what was supposed to be a single broadcast, Hammond performed so well that an NBC executive offered him a chance to call NFL games on the spot.

When Greg James was eight years old, his nylon shell suit-clad idols the Chuckle Brothers ('to me, to you') signed an autograph with the message 'All the best for the future': a mad thing to say to a kid, oddly formal, like the kind of thing you write in the leaving card of a colleague you don't know very well. Eight-year-old Greg had no idea what the future held, no clue what was in store for him as he carried on through life.

Depuis les émeutes qui ont secoué l'Iran après la mort de Mahsa Amini en septembre 2022, les journalistes occidentaux n'obtiennent plus de visas pour la République islamique. Alors, quand on est grand reporter, française, connue pour avoir défendu une chrétienne condamnée à mort au Pakistan, vouloir s'y rendre confine à la folie.

Der bekannteste Berliner Polizeireporter. Der Schriftsteller und Reporter Leo Heller tauchte in den 1920er-Jahren tief in die Berliner Unterwelt ein. Jeder Ringbruder, jeder Kneipenwirt, jedes "leichte Mädchen“ kannte Heller, der in seinen Reportagen seine Leserinnen und Leser mitnimmt auf seine nächtlichen Streifzüge. Seine beeindruckenden Milieustudien wurden von der Autorin Bettina Müller wieder entdeckt, die einen biografischen Essay zu Leo Heller anfügt.

" Alors que j’achevais la rédaction de ce livre, la cérémonie d’ouverture des Jeux olympiques est venue raviver le feu de ma plume : la France est la victime d’un mémoricide. Une ablation de sa mémoire. Une spoliation, une péremption de ses souvenirs. L’Esprit français a été immolé. Toute ma vie, je me suis battu. Contre un progressisme en quête incessante des figures nouvelles de l’insolite et du fantasque.

El relato complementario de una época apasionante. Diecisiete periodistas, una mesa, un invitado de excepción y una consigna: estrictamente confidencial. En 1979, un grupo de jóvenes reporteros con ganas de informarse sobre los resortes de la naciente democracia impulsó una serie de encuentros off the record con sus protagonistas. El primer invitado fue Felipe Gónzalez y, a partir de ahí, cada jueves durante cuarenta años, desfilaron por estas sesiones clandestinas en hoteles y restaurantes las personalidades que forjaron la Transición.

'Think of the Bible and Homer, think of Shakespeare and think of me,' wrote Gertrude Stein in 1936. Admirers called her a genius, sceptics a charlatan: she remains one of the most confounding—and contested—writers of the twentieth century. In this literary detective story, Francesca Wade delves into the creation of the Stein myth.

ערב אחד נקש י´ על דלת דירת הסטודנטים שלי ושל אשתי... התיישב בסלון, אכל קוביות קרח (מה לעשות, מי שמכיר אותו יודע שי´ אוהב לאכול קרח. זה מה שהוא ביקש ככיבוד...), והתחיל לראיין אותי על מעשי ועל תוכניותי.

By daytime, Ukraine is a sophisticated European country going about its business, and Kyiv seems like an enchanting city. But by night, the sirens roar, and the war begins. Ukraine is using the amount of ammunition that all of Europe produces in one day, and yet on the surface, much of the country appears to be going about its business as usual. This is a very different audiobook as this is a very different war – one fought by a huge army of civilians, from old punk rockers to university professors and Coca Cola brand managers who are working behind the scenes to outwit the Russian army.

Sono stati scritti libri su libri sulla giovinezza, ma non c’è granché sull’invecchiamento. E visto che ho imboccato ormai da un po’ quella strada, mi sono detta: "Perché non provarci?". E quindi ecco, ci provo.” Dopo aver trascorso anni tra libri e scrittori come celebre editor, si è scoperta lei stessa autrice e a novantun anni, quando ha deciso di raccontare, senza falsi pudori, senza veli o paure, ma soprattutto senza rimpianti per le scelte del passato non tanto cosa c’è stato prima, quanto quello che le sarebbe successo da quel momento in poi: la vecchiaia.

Sein Lebensprojekt ist die Anatomie der Macht. Was macht sie mit den Mächtigen - und was macht sie mit ihm selbst, dem streitbaren Skeptiker? Wolfgang Herles, "ZDF-Legende" (Bild) und "unabhängiger als die meisten deutschen Fernsehjournalisten" (Financial Times), beschreibt Werden und Wandel der Republik entlang des eigenen Lebens. Beide sind ein Dreivierteljahrhundert alt - und er ist fast immer da, wo gerade die Musik spielt. Er eckt an, als Chef des Hauptstadtstudios des ZDF lässt ihn der Kanzler entfernen.

This is not a book about Iraq's history, nor an inventory of the many Middle Eastern wars that have spun out over the past twenty years, though both wars and history are part of its narrative, from the American invasion to the Arab Spring, ISIS and beyond. This is the story of a people who once lived under the rule of a megalomaniac leader who shaped the state in his own image. Then one day, after yet another war, a foreign army invaded, toppled the leader, destroyed the state, and proceeded to invent a new country.

Anden del af de berømte erindringsbøger. Skildringen af Lise Nørgaards tid som journalistelev, perioden under og efter besættelsen, familielivet med mand og børn og ikke mindst de mange års ansættelse på Politiken, Hjemmet og Berlingske Tidende. Indlæst af Puk Schaufuss, som er uddannet fra Det Kongelige Teaters Elevskole i 1965. Hun har medvirket i forestillinger på de største danske teatre og haft roller i film som "De røde heste" og "Kun en pige" samt tv-serien "Nikolaj og Julie".

In the early days of the Afghanistan war, Jeff Stern was scouring the streets of Kabul for a big story. He was accompanied by a driver, Aimal, who had ambitions of his own: to get rich off the sudden infusion of foreign attention and cash. In this gripping adventure story, Stern writes of how he and Aimal navigated an environment full of guns and danger and opportunity, and how they forged a deep bond. Then Stern got a call that changed everything.

In his first book, broadcaster Ari Shapiro takes us around the globe to reveal the stories behind narratives that are sometimes heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking, but always poignant. He details his time traveling on Air Force One with President Obama, or following the path of Syrian refugees fleeing war, or learning from those fighting for social justice both at home and abroad.

The goal is 90. Just 90 clean and sober days to loosen the hold of the addiction that caused Bill Clegg to lose everything. With 73 days in rehab behind him he returns to New York and attends two or three meetings each day. It is in these refuges that he befriends essential allies including the seemingly unshakably sober Asa and Polly, who struggles daily with her own cycle of recovery and relapse. At first, the support is not enough: Clegg relapses for the first time with only three days left.

M. C. Armstrong secured his embed as a journalist with the Navy SEALs in 2008. Shortly before he left for Iraq, his father asked him to tell the story no one else seemed to be telling. The story of the people sometimes constructed as our friends, and other times, our enemies: the Iraqis.
