Sometimes, however, we crave external guidance: and when this happens we could do worse than seek it in Jane Austen's own subtle novels. Written to coincide with Austen's 250th birthday, this approachable and intimate work shows why and how—for over half a century—Austen has inspired and challenged its author through different phases of her life.

In this audiobook, which also includes work from three previous collections, his poems pulse with the language and images of a mangrove-lined river city, the beckoning highway, the just-glimpsed muse, the tug of childhood and restless ancestors.

Se accade che il clamore del mondo soffochi la nostra voce interiore, vuol dire che è giunto il momento della lotta: dobbiamo risvegliare il guerriero della luce che dorme in ciascuno di noi e intraprendere un cammino disseminato di lusinghe e tentazioni, un sentiero in cui ogni passo può nascondere le insidie di un intero labirinto, un percorso dove la vittoria ha il medesimo volto della sconfitta. Ma chi può soccorrerci nei momenti di difficoltà? Quali parole dobbiamo ascoltare tra le miriadi che ci rimbombano nelle orecchie? Possiamo davvero condividere con gli altri i sogni e i rimpianti?
