Story2
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. Along the way, she explores the roles that rivers play in human lives, tracing their intricate flow through literature, mythology, and folklore. Lyrical and stirring, To the River is a passionate investigation into how history resides in a landscape - and how ghosts never quite leave the places they love.

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. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, John Berryman, John Cheever, and Raymond Carver. All six of these men were alcoholics, and the subject of drinking surfaces in some of their finest work, from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof to A Moveable Feast.

Siamo nel settembre del 1974, pochi mesi prima dell’omicidio di Pier Paolo Pasolini, quando due uomini si incontrano casualmente: Nicholas è un giovane artista inglese, mentre Danilo Donati è un rinomato scenografo del cinema italiano. Ma Nicholas nasconde un segreto e, in un ambiente dominato dall’illusione, la sua vera natura passa inosservata. Nel contesto delle tensioni politiche degli Anni di Piombo, le sue azioni innescano una tragedia imprevista.

Story0
Bisogna aver toccato l'abisso per saperlo raccontare. Per descrivere il vuoto avvolgente di una ferita che diventa uno stigma o l'angosciante cantilena che rimbomba in una casa di cui si è da sempre l'unico inquilino. Per restituire con la sola forza della voce certi angoli della metropoli, dove la suburra si fa rifugio e l'esclusione sollievo; per dire il loro improvviso, tragico trasformarsi da giardino delle delizie in inferno musicale.

The Gardener Estate is one of the most storied and beloved places on the West Coast: a magnificent house in vast formal grounds, home to a family that shaped California—and fought hard to conceal the turmoil and eccentricities within their walls. And now, just as the turmoil seems buried and the Estate prepares to move into a new future, construction work unearths a grim relic of the estate's history: a skull, hidden away some fifty years ago.

"Il nuotatore di Cheever comprime tra le sue tenaglie tutta la vita di un alcolista. Io volevo seguire la stessa traiettoria oscura. Volevo sapere perché gli scrittori bevono e come questa miscela di spiriti si è ripercossa sull'organismo della letteratura." Cresciuta in una famiglia di alcolisti, Olivia Laing legge a diciassette anni La gatta sul tetto che scotta di Tennessee Williams e per la prima volta ritrova sulla pagina i comportamenti che conosce così bene, resi vivi dalle parole del drammaturgo.

Jake has left it late, and the only summer job he can find is on the remote Scottish island of Elsay. Still, that sounds fine–the work isn’t too hard, the pay’s all right, and the scenery is great. But he soon has second thoughts about staying. His boss, Fraser, is a bit of a rogue, while Fraser’s cute but snippy daughter, Alva, takes against him from the start. And the oddball characters in the local pub aren’t exactly welcoming.

It's the run-up to Christmas, 1998. On the Isle of Mull, Sergeant Ivor Punch is losing himself in his vinyl collection, a tragic anniversary and too much single malt whisky. But news of a missing child soon brings him back to his senses. And as word spreads of more strange disappearances, an aircraft vanishing from the sky and a famous classical musician gone with it, it seems a sinister plot holds the island in its grip. Punch thought he knew the secrets of this place, its people and stories.

AD 381. Five years have gone by since a Roman governor ordered the deaths of a Gothic king and his attendants at a feast in their honor. This disastrous act led to warfare in the Roman Empire and the death of the Emperor Valens. The Empire is now at peace, but the powerful brother of the murdered king has sworn revenge on the regicides, and will not rest until they are hunted down. For the eight legionaries who carried out the killings, the bloodshed is only just beginning.

In a condemned tower block in Glasgow, residents slowly trickle away until a young man is left alone with only the angels and devils in his mind for company. Stumbling from one surreal situation to the next, he encounters others on the margins of society, finding friendship and camaraderie wherever it is offered, grappling with who he is and what shape his future might take. The Voids is an unsparing story of modern-day Britain, told with brilliant flashes of humour and humanity.

One of Robert Louis Stevenson’s bestselling works of his time, ‘The Lantern Bearers’ is a charming essay on the joys underlying realist literature. Sometimes mistakenly taken as a fictional narrative, the essay begins with three boys – of which Stevenson is one – who reside in a seaside town during the summer. Stevenson describes the various splendours of existence in the town, such as fishing, tide pools and the open sea air.
