Story1
During the 1930s at Oxford, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams - remarkable friends, writers, and scholars - met regularly to discuss philosophy and literature and to read aloud from their own works in progress. Calling themselves the Inklings, their circle grew. It was in this company that such classics as The Lord of the Rings, The Screwtape Letters, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe first found an audience.

Austrian writer Ingeborg Bachmann (1926-73) is recognized as one of post-World War II German literature’s most important novelists, poets, and playwrights.

This is perhaps one of the best-loved of all journals. William Wordsworth's sister, Dorothy, began it in May 1800 and resolved to keep it for a short time. She continued it for nearly three years. In it, she brought the Dove Cottage years to vivid and intimate life. She noted the walks and weather, the friends, country neighbours, and travellers on the roads. She set down accounts of the garden, of Wordsworth's marriage, their concern for Coleridge, and the composition of Wordsworth's poetry.

Mignon è il simbolo di un sentimento specifico, la Sehnsucht, e rappresenta la nostalgia. La musica ha dato suoni e voce a Mignon nelle composizioni scritte da Beethoven, Zelter, Reichardt, Schumann, Liszt, Thomas, Wolf... E Schubert. Partendo dalle specialissime pagine schubertiane dedicate a Mignon e dall'intensità che la voce dei versi di Mignon vi trova, personaggi e storie si dipanano a raccontare la Sehnsucht in alcune possibili manifestazioni tra persone come noi, o che nel nostro stesso mondo vivono.

Ranier Maria Rilke challenges you, "...to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answers." Rilke's ability to combine the sensual and the spiritual into an inspired vision of the art of living is brought to vivid life in his letters. Through his eyes, the everyday difficulties of love, sex, solitude, sadness, and doubt are seen as the archetypal elements of the drama called life.

John Milton (1608-1674) has a unique claim on literary and intellectual history as the author of both Paradise Lost, the greatest narrative poem in English, and prose defenses of the execution of Charles I that influenced the French and American revolutions. Tracing Milton’s literary, intellectual, and political development with unprecedented depth and understanding, Poet of Revolution is an unmatched biographical account of the formation of the mind that would go on to create Paradise Lost - but would first justify the killing of a king.

The word most commonly used to describe Muriel Spark is ‘puzzling’. Spark was a puzzle, and so too are her books. She dealt in word games, tricks, and ciphers; her life was composed of weird accidents, strange coincidences and spooky events. Evelyn Waugh thought she was a saint, Bernard Levin said she was a witch, and she described herself as ‘Muriel the Marvel with her X-ray eyes’. Following the clues, riddles, and instructions Spark planted for posterity in her biographies, fiction, autobiography and archives, Frances Wilson aims to crack her code.

Born to a violently dysfunctional home in working-class Denmark, Lisbeth Zornig Andersen and her three older brothers were bounced between foster care and state-run institutions, then back again to their chemically dependent mother and sadistic stepfather. For Lisbeth, it was a childhood without perimeters. It was blighted by poverty, sexual abuse, neglect, betrayal, and further victimization by the broken Danish social services system that forced Lisbeth to live where and how it saw fit.

Una donna che incarna in maniera emblematica tutti gli orrori dell’Italia, nessuno escluso: "il qualunquismo, il razzismo, il classismo, l’egoismo, l’opportunismo, il trasformismo, la mezza cultura peggiore dell’ignoranza, il rancore..." Questa donna era la madre dell’autore. Il romanzo è un’indagine nella vita, nelle passioni e negli odi di una donna, alla ricerca di una spiegazione possibile. La forma è quella della commedia, il contenuto quello della tragedia.

Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels achieved stunning global success in part because of the mystery surrounding their pseudonymous author. English-speaking audiences were tantalized by her enigmatic biography as well as what they took to be her authentic portrayal of working-class Naples. However, we now know that the person behind the writing is most likely Anita Raja, a prominent translator of German literature whose background is very different from Ferrante’s supposed life.

"Le donne, i cavallier, l'arme, gli amori" cantati da Italo Calvino, con la sua lettura chiara, appassionata e lucida di un classico della nostra letteratura. Calvino propone una ricca scelta di strofe non rispettando la divisione in canti, ma seguendo le vicende dei singoli personaggi. Si alternano perciò parti di commento, narrazione, quasi di anticipazione, a versi del testo originale, in un vero "racconto" in cui sembra quasi di sentire la voce.
