Story
Allegra ed entusiasta, oppure malinconica e afflitta. Bellissima e fragile, con lo sguardo appena velato da “certi pensieri soffocati”. Così Federica racconta sua madre, la “fantasmagorica mamma bionda” dai gesti istrionici, dal portamento elegante e disinvolto attraverso cui traspare, in filigrana, un’irrimediabile insicurezza. L’autrice scava nella memoria per comporre il ritratto tenero e disincantato di una donna tutta luci e ombre, e al tempo stesso un tagliente spaccato di famiglia incorniciato nell’ambiente borghese di Roma.

Walter Benjamin (1892 - 1940), war vieles: Philosoph, Kulturkritiker, Übersetzer - aber auch ein Schriftsteller. Auf der Flucht vor den Nazis, die Frankreich besetzt hatten, nahm er sich an der spanischen Grenze das Leben. In seinem autobiografischen Werk Berliner Kindheit um neunzehnhundert beschreibt er in kunstvollen Miniaturen einzelne Bilder und Bruchstücke von Reminiszenzen seiner Kindheit, die an Kunstfertigkeit kaum zu übertreffen sind.

Story
On the morning of 12 August 2022, Salman Rushdie was standing onstage at the Chautauqua Institution in upstate New York, preparing to give a lecture on the importance of keeping writers safe from harm, when a man in black–black clothes, black mask–rushed down the aisle towards him, wielding a knife. His first thought: So it’s you. Here you are. What followed was a horrific act of violence that shook the literary world and beyond.

Story
Sachchidanand Hirananda Vatsyayan 'Agyeya' is unarguably one of the most remarkable figures of Indian literature. From his revolutionary youth to acquiring the mantle of a (highly controversial) patron saint of Hindi literature, Agyeya's turbulent life also tells a history of the Hindi literary world and of a new nation—spanning as it does two world wars, Independence and Partition, and the building and fraying of the Nehruvian state.

Story
È una giornata di primavera del 1864 quando il giudice Cochran mostra orgoglioso ai propri figli il fagottino rosa della neonata Elizabeth. Il loro è un piccolo borgo di tranquillo benessere in Pennsylvania, dove i ruoli sociali seguono schemi quasi inviolabili, ma Pink – come viene soprannominata la bambina – si dimostra presto inquieta e ribelle, più attratta dalle scorribande dei fratelli maggiori che dalle bambole, e al tempo stesso incuriosita dalla ricca biblioteca paterna.
