Are these amazing feats and gadgets truly possible?

Story
In the second volume of her memoirs, prize-winning author Janice Galloway reveals how the child introduced in This is Not About Me evolved through her teenage years. When she started secondary school, Galloway was still sharing a bed with her mother and was more excited by Latin and school orchestra than by boys. But as she struggled with the physical and emotional changes of adolescence, almost everything she thought she knew began to change. Combining visceral descriptions of puberty, sex and school-room politics with the story of a family's secrets

Story
Derided by the Right as dangerous and by the Left as spineless, Barack Obama puzzles observers. In Reading Obama, James T. Kloppenberg reveals the sources of Obama's ideas and explains why his principled aversion to absolutes does not fit contemporary partisan categories. Obama's commitments to deliberation and experimentation derive from sustained engagement with American democratic thought.

Story
Jane Austen is a mystery. The first incontrovertibly great woman novelist, she is, among other things, one of the finest prose stylists in literature; the first truly modern writer, the godmother of chick lit. She is also the greatest enigma (next to Shakespeare) in English literature. Soldiers in the First World War sat in the trenches and read her novels for the civilising comforts they provided. Hard-nut literary critics such as F. R. Leavis lauded their austere complexity.

Story
I sei interventi tenuti da Eco nel 1992-93 in occasione delle Norton Lectures - che si svolgono ogni anno alla Harvard University - hanno una leggerezza affabulatoria insolita per un saggio letterario. Eco sapeva di rivolgersi a un pubblico vasto e vario, ma in questa particolare scelta espressiva possiamo forse cogliere anche la sua volontà di affrontare la riflessione sulla narratività partendo proprio dall'esperienza del lettore.

Un audiolibro sui libri, una conversazione divertita e divertente, un'appassionata passeggiata lungo duemila anni di storia del libro, attraverso una discussione contemporaneamente erudita e ironica, colta e personale, filosofica e aneddotica. Dalle ragioni per cui una certa epoca genera capolavori al modo in cui funzionano la memoria e la classificazione di una biblioteca, dall'elogio di certe forme di stupidità e leggerezza all'analisi della passione del collezionista.

Story
Questo volume rappresenta una delle pietre miliari del percorso filosofico di Umberto Eco e una delle pietre miliari della riflessione semiotica internazionale tout court. Eco torna alla filosofia (ammesso che mai se ne sia distaccato), per confrontarsi soprattutto con l'ontologia e le scienze cognitive in materia di percezione, realismo, iconismo. Confrontandosi con i nodi fondamentali della filosofia di ogni tempo, da Aristotele a Heidegger, Eco discute i problemi dell'essere, della verità, del falso, della realtà, dell'oggettività della conoscenza e della congettura.

“口伝えによる語りは、文学の原点” 古代ギリシャ時代は吟遊詩人が全文(1万2000~1万5000行)暗記したテキストを楽器と共に朗読するのを聞いていました。現代では本にすべて記録してあり、いつでも必要なときにそれを開けばいいという安心感があるから、現代人は記憶力が乏しいのかもしれません…

Story
“Non lasciare mai che la verità intralci una buona storia” amava dire Chuck Kinder a Nicola Manuppelli, il giovane italiano che avrebbe voluto scrivere la sua biografia. Le cose che Kinder gli andava raccontando di sé non erano necessariamente vere, ma erano buone storie. I due si erano conosciuti nel 2008. Divenuti presto intimi amici, il celebre scrittore gli aprì le porte del suo mondo: un’allegra brigata di “pessimi uomini” con i loro meravigliosi romanzi e le loro vite disastrate e complesse, rinsaldate però da un fortissimo senso dell’amicizia.

Il libro di Susanna Tartaro è un viaggio, attraverso dodici tappe, nel mondo degli haiku e dei suoi girovaghi autori; Santoka su tutti, ma anche Basho e Issa, letti oggi con l'occhio di chi abita una città con tutte le sue piccole e continue trappole alla nostra felicità. Susanna Tartaro - che lavora a Radio3 e da anni cura Fahrenheit, storico programma di "libri e idee" - nel suo blog Dailyhaiku, racconta la propria passione per la poesia giapponese fatta di 5-7-5 sillabe, in cui si racchiudono, miracolosamente, saggezza e dolcezza, sapere e fantasia.

Con "L’immaginazione melodrammatica" Peter Brooks analizza e spiega, a partire dalla sua nascita in seno alla Rivoluzione francese, cosa è stato, cosa è diventato e qual è la natura del melodramma, da genere teatrale a modello compositivo di romanzi, film e altri tipi di narrazioni. L’immaginazione letteraria contemporanea cela le proprie radici nel melodramma, una forma di teatro in prosa con accompagnamento orchestrale che ha conquistato Parigi nei primi decenni del XIX secolo per diffondersi poi con successo in tutta Europa in quelli successivi.

A settantanni dalla sua tragica scomparsa il presidente della fondazione Cesare Pavese ci guida nella Torino di uno dei più grandi scrittori del Novecento. La città, il Mito, la donna, l’America, le Langhe: isole di un viaggio omerico senza ritorno, senza regno, senza Itaca. Le parole con cui Cesare Pavese ha descritto questo viaggio, le sue opere, sono un’occasione di incontro che il lettore ha con sé stesso; specchi in cui “vedere […] riemergere un viso morto”, trovare il Minotauro indifeso al centro del labirinto borgesiano.

Story
Praz è uno stile, oltre che un conoscitore capace di variare dagli oggetti alla storia delle idee. In questa vastità si affronta la vicenda di La carne, la morte e il diavolo nella letteratura romantica e ovviamente Roma. La prosa di Mario Praz (1896-1982) è un modo conoscitivo in sé che va oltre le vastità delle esperienze accumulate nel corso di una vita e consegnate a tanti libri: ha tratti spiccati, perfino abnormi, e dunque tali da farsi identificare a vista.

Story
Baseado em palestras proferidas por Virginia Woolf nas faculdades de Newham e Girton em 1928, o ensaio Um teto todo seu é uma reflexão acerca das condições sociais da mulher e a sua influência na produção literária feminina. A escritora pontua em que medida a posição que a mulher ocupa na sociedade acarreta dificuldades para a expressão livre de seu pensamento, para que essa expressão seja transformada em uma escrita sem sujeição e, finalmente, para que essa escrita seja recebida com consideração, em vez da indiferença comumente reservada à escrita feminina na época.
