In The Trip to Echo Spring, Olivia Laing examines the link between creativity and alcohol through the work and lives of six of America's finest writers: F.

Over 60 years after Virginia Woolf drowned in the River Ouse, Olivia Laing set out one midsummer morning to walk its banks, from source to sea.

Nel contesto delle tensioni politiche degli Anni di Piombo, le sue azioni innescano una tragedia imprevista.

Olivia Laing ha quarantadue anni quando diventa proprietaria per la prima volta di un giardino. È un giardino trascurato da tempo| come sembrano indicare i nodi dei rampicanti che coprono i mattoni rossi| gli alberi da frutto marcescenti e le rose dai colori sbiaditi. Fino a quel momento| la sua aspirazione botanica si era manifestata solo in un sogno ricorrente: una porta che conduce verso un luogo sconosciuto| in cui lei| priva di peso| si ritrova ad abitare un territorio nuovo| ricco di potenzialità.

Un relato bello y exigente de los abundantes placeres y posibilidades de los jardines como lugares de encuentro y descubrimiento.Inspirándose en la...

Humano, provocativo y conmovedor, este audiolibro nos habla sobre los espacios que unen a las personas y las cosas, acerca de la sexualidad, la mortalidad y las posibilidades mágicas del arte. La ciudad solitaria es un deslumbrante trabajo de biografía, memorándum y crítica cultural, y una celebración de un estado extraño y encantador, alejado del continente más grande de la experiencia humana, pero intrínseco al mismo acto de estar vivo.
