From the critically acclaimed author of The Widow's War comes a captivating work of literary historical fiction that explores the tenuous relationship between a brilliant and complex father and his devoted daughter—Thomas Jefferson and Martha Jefferson Randolph. After the death of her beloved...

A timely and hauntingly beautiful new opera with libretto by Pulitzer Prize-winner Leroy Aarons and score by accomplished composer Glenn Paxton. Scandal erupts in the White House - and in the national press - when Thomas Jefferson's longtime love affair with his slave mistress Sally Hemings is revealed.

This epic work tells the story of the Hemingses, whose close blood ties to our third president had been systematically expunged from American history until very recently. Now, historian and legal scholar Annette Gordon-Reed traces the Hemings family from its origins in Virginia in the 1700s to the family's dispersal after Jefferson's death in 1826. It brings to life not only Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson but also their children and Hemings's siblings, who shared a father with Jefferson's wife, Martha.

Thomas Jefferson was an avid book-collector, a voracious reader, and a gifted writer - a man who prided himself on his knowledge of classical and modern languages and whose marginal annotations include quotations from Euripides, Herodotus, and Milton. And yet there has never been a literary life of our most literary president.

All’origine di questo libro c’è un viaggio che comincia in Israele e nei territori occupati della Palestina al principio del 2023 e prosegue – nella riflessione – nei mesi seguenti l’eccidio del 7 ottobre. Roberta De Monticelli vede rappresentato nella Palestina il luogo in cui prende forma esemplare e tragica uno dei paradossi su cui si regge la civiltà. Da quando esiste, il diritto è in tensione costante con la giustizia e con la forza e vige in virtù della politica che pure ne è vincolata e regolata – salvo farsi non solo cieca ma criminale.

Much has been written about Thomas Jefferson, with good reason: His life was a great American drama, one of the greatest, played out in compelling acts. He was the architect of our democracy, a visionary chief executive who expanded this nation's physical boundaries to unimagined lengths.

Ein Podcast über Themen, die beschäftigen – aber über die kaum jemand laut spricht. Ich bin Géraldine – Mutter eines Sohnes, Mama einer stillgeborenen Tochter, Tochter die zu früh zu viel Verantwortung übernehmen musste. Hier erzähle ich: von Verlust und Liebe, Wut und Hoffnung, Mutterschaft, Körpergefühl, Beziehungen, Freundschaft, Selbstfindung – und von dem Leben, das genau dann passiert, wenn man schon am Limit ist. Aber auch, wenn man denkt: Jetzt läuft’s endlich mal rund – und dann läuft’s vollgas, rückwärts. Mit Platten. Und Gegenverkehr. Authentisch. ...
