"Aquest audiollibre recorda la vida del meu avi, que és la història d'un temps, d'un país. És un homenatge a una generació sencera d'homes i dones que van sobreviure a una guerra quan eren nens i que ara han hagut de fer front a la pandèmia des de la residència geriàtrica. La compilació d'una vida que abraça gairebé la totalitat del segle XX m'ha portat per viaranys insòlits. He descobert secrets del meu avi, i també he entès millor algunes de les decisions que va prendre al llarg de la seva vida".

At thirty-five, Elsie Robinson feared she’d lost it all. Reeling from a divorce in 1917, she had no means to support herself and her chronically ill son. She dreamed of becoming a writer and was willing to sacrifice everything for this goal, even swinging a pickax in a gold mine to pay the bills. When the mine shut down, she moved to the Bay Area, where she barged into the offices of the Oakland Tribune and was hired on the spot. She went on to become a nationally syndicated columnist and household name whose column ran for over thirty years and garnered fifty million readers.

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.

I Will Show You How It Was is Illia Ponomarenko’s heart-wrenching memoir of the war on his homeland, offering a fiery diatribe against Russian hypocrisy and a moving look at what is being lost.

The most powerful and personal chronicle of the war to date, I Will Show You How It Was is an exceptional literary achievement, chronicling a stunning feat of resistance and a courageous people set on a miraculous victory.

A gorgeous, moving memoir of how one of America's most innovative and respected journalists found his voice by coming to terms with a painful past. New York Times columnist Charles M.

Hace unos años me rompí por completo. Tanto como para que tuvieran que atarme a la cama de un hospital psiquiátrico para evitar que pudiera hacerme daño. No tengo ni idea de cuándo empezó a formarse mi locura. A lo mejor nací genéticamente predispuesto. A lo mejor fui macerando una depresión al callarme ciertas cosas por no preocupar a los demás. O a lo mejor simplemente hay cerebros que de la noche a la mañana hacen crec y se acabó.
