Story
In this book, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet C. K. Williams sets aside the mass of biography and literary criticism that has accumulated around the work and person of Walt Whitman, and attempts to go back to Leaves of Grass as he first encountered it, to explore why Whitman's epic "continues to inspire and sometimes daunt" him. The result is a personal reassessment and appreciation of one master poet by another, as well as an unconventional and brilliant introduction - or reintroduction - to Whitman.

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

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
Moribonda è la critica letteraria. La sua è un'agonia loquace, che si esprime in una querula corrente di elzeviri, recensioni e monografie, su siti e social network, tra le pagine di libri, quotidiani e settimanali. Pagine che, analizzate come un unico testo, assomigliano sempre più a un certificato di morte, o meglio, all'autocertificazione di un decesso.

Story
Questo libro rovista nella pattumiera della lingua italiana: dal Dante più scorretto al Verga più anomalo; dalle storpiature dei comici come Totò agli strafalcioni degli studenti, ma anche di uno scrittore come Svevo; dalle bizzarrie del linguaggio giovanile agli anglicismi e alle frasi fatte dei gerghi aziendali e mediatici. In passato i problemi nascevano dalla distanza fra la lingua parlata (il dialetto) e la lingua scritta (l'italiano), ma per chi è nato dopo gli anni Sessanta il rischio è quello opposto, di appiattire troppo lo scritto sul parlato.

Un atlante smisurato di isole reali e immaginarie, scritto con velocità e leggerezza settecentesca: tra resoconto di viaggio, critica, saggio e narrazione. Un atlante da tenere sul comodino, da consultare ogni volta che si è incalzati da un desiderio, una nostalgia e una fantasia, da gustare a poco a poco o approfondire in lunghe ore di lettura sognante. Sempre sollecitati e guidati da un personaggio grande della storia culturale e artistica, questo atlante parte dalla Grecia e alla Grecia ritorna, per fare all'incontrario il viaggio di Colombo.

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.

Story
"Se cercassi di mostrare che questo libro ha una fisionomia unitaria ed è stato pensato come un discorso omogeneo, cercherei di arrampicarmi su quegli specchi a cui esso, per pura sineddoche, si intitola." "Sugli specchi e altri saggi" è, infatti, una raccolta di scritti occasionati, tra il 1972 e il 1985, da convegni, dibattiti, prefazioni, in cui vengono affrontati temi quali il segno, la rappresentazione, l'illusione, l'immagine.

"Abbiamo una memoria organica, registrata, custodita ed elaborata dal nostro cervello, e sin dalle origini l'uomo si è affidato a una memoria minerale, incidendo pietre o tavolette d'argilla - sino alla memoria di silicio dei nostri computer attuali. Accanto a queste due memorie si è sviluppata una memoria vegetale, dai papiri sino alla carta di stracci e alla carta tratta dal legno che si usa ai giorni nostri. Ed esempio principe di memoria vegetale è il libro, l'amore del quale si chiama bibliofilia."

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.

Story
Un viaggio nel mondo poetico e spirituale del grande mistico sufi Rumi, vissuto nel XIII secolo, considerato non solo un poeta ma anche un profeta e un santo, tanto che per molti musulmani è un nuovo Maometto, per molti cristiani un nuovo Gesù, per molti ebrei un nuovo Mosè. Il suo messaggio – l’amore è l’essenza di tutte le cose – può essere assimilato a quello di san Francesco e di Dante, suoi contemporanei, ma si rilevano anche affinità con il pensiero di Pitagora, Socrate e Platone.

Cosa ci insegnano Ulisse, il suo “multiforme ingegno” e la sua superbia sui limiti della scienza e della conoscenza umane? Come può la tragedia greca (Eschilo in particolare) aiutarci a comprendere i drammi che avvengono nel Mediterraneo? Quale insegnamento possiamo trarre dalle ribellioni di Prometeo e Antigone, in un momento storico in cui la ribellione appare l’unica via di salvezza? Che senso ha, insomma, riscoprire i classici nella nostra epoca iperconnessa e caotica?

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.

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.
