As at home with Galileo and his daughter in Florence as he is with Diderot in Enlightenment France, William and Alice James in fin-de-siècle Boston, or the latest research on the genome, Gerald Weissmann distills the lessons of history to guide us through our troubled age. His message is clear: "Experimental science is our defense-perhaps our best defense-against humbug and the Endarkenment."

In this deeply personal book, the celebrated Haitian-American writer Edwidge Danticat reflects on art and exile. Inspired by Albert Camus and adapted from her own lectures for Princeton University’s Toni Morrison Lecture Series, here Danticat tells stories of artists who create despite (or because of) the horrors that drove them from their homelands. Combining memoir and essay, these moving and eloquent pieces examine what it means to be an artist from a country in crisis.

Il fondatore di Eataly torna sui grandi temi che gli stanno a cuore: in primis quelli della biodiversità e dell'eccellenza italiana nel campo agroalimentare. Lo fa con parole che richiamano la forma delle operette morali, racconti in cui personaggi spesso appartenenti a epoche diverse - da Noè a Fabio Brescacin di NaturaSì, da Plinio il Vecchio a Tonino Guerra, da Hemingway ad Alice, "acciuga filosofa" - dialogano sulla scoperta del fuoco, ripercorrono la storia dell'agricoltura, raccontano la storia del vino, della birra, dell'olio e quella della pesca.

Ogni libro parla di altri libri. Ma ogni libro è, anche, una finestra sul mondo. Il libro può far rivivere il passato, o presagire il futuro. Ci porta in paesi lontani, ci fa parlare con chi non c'è più e scoprire universi ignoti. E gli scrittori? Quanto sappiamo della loro vita, a volte persino più avventurosa dei loro romanzi? Da questi ventisei capitoli - tanti quante, dall'A alla Z, le lettere dell'alfabeto - come da altrettante finestre attraverso una fitta rete di richiami culturali Hans Tuzzi scopre, di volta in volta, inediti punti di vista su noi stessi e sul nostro passato.

Gino Strada, chirurgo di guerra e fondatore di Emergency, l'associazione umanitaria italiana per la cura e la riabilitazione delle vittime di guerra e delle mine antiuomo, racconta in questo libro la storia del viaggio in Afghanistan iniziato il 9 settembre 2001, due giorni prima dell'attentato terroristico di New York. L'autore firma questo diario di viaggio che è al tempo stesso una testimonianza della guerra che ha portato alla disfatta dei talebani, la conquista della capitale da parte dell'Alleanza del nord e la "liberazione" di Kabul.

In quale tempo e in quale spazio ha luogo il singolare, fragile evento della lettura? Da queste domande prende avvio il breve e nitido saggio che Ezio Raimondi, uno dei massimi studiosi della letteratura oggi in Italia, ha dedicato al leggere. È un atto apparentemente semplice, un gesto quotidiano, eppure leggere è un rapporto complesso fra due persone, l'autore e il lettore, che ha luogo attraverso un testo. Chi legge fa vivere un testo, lo realizza, mettendosi così in comunicazione con l'altro, con una diversità.

Al suo primo apparire "Gomorra" era l'opera prima di un giornalista e blogger poco conosciuto. La sua novità e la sua forza si sono imposte rapidamente sul pubblico, facendo del libro un caso letterario e dell'autore, Roberto Saviano, una icona della lotta antimafia. Adattato per il teatro e poi per il cinema, divenuto infine una serie TV di grande successo internazionale, "Gomorra" è un esempio di "narrazione transmediale" di notevole impatto.

Scrivere tutti i giorni, per anni, usando il materiale che la cronaca, la politica, il costume ci rovesciano addosso a ritmo forsennato. Scrivere cercando di rifare un poco di ordine, di ridare un minimo di significato alle notizie, agli umori pubblici e privati, alle proprie reazioni. Scrivere come se scrivere fosse una misura di igiene mentale, una ginnastica emotiva, uno sgranchire la ragione, cercando di riattivare se stessi, ogni mattina, per non lasciarsi sopraffare dal troppo che accade.

"Quello che tenevo compresso dentro di me, nell'ora di educazione fisica o durante i film di Maciste, o certe sere quando andavo a dormire e avevo paura, era l'angoscia di dimostrare di essere maschio. Doverlo far vedere a tutti, ogni ora, ogni giorno, ogni settimana. E ogni volta misurare la mia inadeguatezza". "Se c'è qualcosa che mi dispiace molto, se ho un dolore fisico, se ho una scadenza, se devo risolvere un tarlo interiore, se ho dei dubbi, se ingrasso, se mi colpisce un lutto molto doloroso, se faccio un incidente per strada - ignoro; ignoro tutto".
