Story
"Mio padre si chiama Achille e non mi parla": questa storia comincia così, con un dialogo interrotto tra un padre e una figlia. Achille è stato un padre carismatico, con cui Ilaria da ragazza ha condiviso passioni, idee sulla vita e sul mondo, ma anche liti feroci e grandi silenzi. Fino a quando, senza un motivo scatenante o una colpa evidente, il silenzio ha inghiottito tutto. Achille ha smesso di cercarla, di rispondere alle sue telefonate e alle sue lettere. Forse, ha deciso di smettere di esserle padre.

In Ghost Dogs, Dubus’s nonfiction prowess is on full display in his retelling of his own successes, failures, triumphs, and pain. In his longest essay, “If I Owned a Gun,” Dubus reflects on the empowerment and shame he felt in keeping a gun, and his decision, ultimately, to give it up. Elsewhere, he writes of a violent youth and of settled domesticity and fatherhood, about the omnipresent expectations and contradictions of masculinity, about the things writers remember and those they forget.

Lucy Sante has often felt like an outsider. Born in Belgium to conservative Catholic working-class parents, she was transplanted to the United States without ever entirely settling here. But a feeling of home finally arrived when she moved to New York City in the early 1970s amidst her fellow bohemians. Through those electric years, some of her friends would die young, from drugs and AIDS, and others would become jarringly famous. Lucy flirted with both fates, on her way to building a glittering career as a writer. But she could never shake that feeling.

Story
Pasolini disse che il capocannoniere del campionato è sempre il miglior poeta dell’anno. Lo scrittore, noto come Stukas nei campi delle borgate romane, era tifoso del Bologna. Il suo idolo era Biavati, inventore del doppio passo, e una volta cercò di scritturare Bulgarelli per un film. Calcio e letteratura hanno spesso incrociato le loro strade, come se avessero qualcosa di ineffabile in comune. Gabriele d’Annunzio è stato tra i precursori italiani del gioco, Umberto Saba ha cantato la solitudine del portiere, Mario Luzi ha pianto il Grande Torino schiantatosi a Superga.

Story
De geheimen van de grootste genie uit de geschiedenis. Leonardo da Vinci wordt gezien als het meest creatieve genie ooit. Naast zijn wereldberoemde werk als schilder was hij ook uitvinder, schrijver, architect, beeldhouwer, componist, anatomist, filosoof, natuurkundige, scheikundige en ingenieur. Op basis van duizenden pagina's van Da Vinci's aantekenboeken en nieuwe ontdekkingen over zijn leven en werk vertelt Isaacson een prachtig verhaal over hoe Da Vinci's kunst verweven is met de wetenschap.

Story
Geliefd columnist Aaf Brandt Corstius laat zich inspireren door uitspraken die ze in het dagelijks leven tegenkomt en die haar raken of aan het denken zetten – een perfect cadeauboek. Haar hele leven hunkert Aaf Brandt Corstius al naar wijze raad, en die doet ze en passant op bij vrienden en vreemden en uit boeken, kranten en afgeluisterde gesprekken. Zo'n wijs advies is vaak één enkel zinnetje waar je je hele leven wat aan hebt. Katja Schuurman die zegt dat je kunt kiezen tussen ouder worden of doodgaan – dan weet je het wel, als je zit te zeuren over je rimpels.
