Con un contributo audio inedito di Piero Angela. "Questo è probabilmente l'ultimo libro che scrivo. Non pensavo di farlo, ma poi ho riflettuto che forse ne valeva la pena. Adesso vorrei dire anch'io quello che penso, le domande che mi pongo, le cose che ho compreso... È un libro che forse voglio scrivere anche per me stesso, oltre che per i lettori." Da tempo Piero Angela lavorava a queste pagine, frutto di un confronto - durato decenni - con il suo storico collaboratore Massimo Polidoro. Una conversazione, è il caso di dirlo, sui massimi sistemi: l'universo, la natura, l'uomo.

In this frank and funny memoir, written for the thousands of women who have asked her to tell them 'how she did it', the doyenne of magazine publishing, Jane Raphaely, tells a great deal more than the her story of women's magazines. Jane's story is indeed stranger than fiction. Having lived through a war in England and grown up in a rough neighborhood, with a demon aunt and a difficult father, Jane Mullins learnt how to 'smile and wave', one of many survival tactics she passes on in this memoir.

Since 1984, Nicholas Kristof has worked almost continuously for The New York Times as a reporter, foreign correspondent, bureau chief, and now columnist, becoming one of the foremost reporters of his generation. Here, he recounts his event-filled path from a small-town farm in Oregon to every corner of the world. This is a candid memoir of vulnerability and courage, humility and purpose, mistakes and learning—a singular tale of the trials, tribulations, and hope to be found in a life dedicated to the pursuit of truth.

Story
Alle wollen alt werden, niemand will alt sein. Der Widerspruch ist absurd, das Leiden daran real. Wie lernen wir, so gut wie möglich damit zurechtzukommen? Geht das, alt werden und ein erfülltes Leben führen? Mit ihren über 80 Jahren hat sich Elke Heidenreich mit dem Altwerden beschäftigt. Herausgekommen ist dabei ein Buch, wie nur sie es schreiben kann. Persönlich, ehrlich, doch nie gnadenlos, mit einem Wort: lebensklug. Sie denkt über ihr eigenes Leben nach, und das heißt vor allem, über ihre Beziehungen zu anderen Menschen. Im Alter trägt man die Konsequenzen für alles, was man getan hat.

Story
La condizione delle donne negli anni del femminismo, e quella degli ebrei e dello Stato di Israele; la bellezza e l’orrore di Roma, e la fragilità di una democrazia (la nostra) sempre sotto minaccia; alcuni scrittori da amare; alcuni film visti con l’occhio di scrittrice; le biografie di alcuni amici (Cesare Pavese, Felice Balbo); e poi, ancora, la nostra incertezza e la nostra necessità di scegliere; la memoria dell’infanzia, da decifrare, e la vita dei figli adulti, che suscita meraviglia e insicurezza. Questi trenta testi costituiscono il più multiforme e battagliero libro di Natalia Ginzburg.
