Quando, in punto di morte, Goethe mosse il suo indice dal basso verso l'alto, i testimoni che gli erano vicini rimasero sorpresi: per secoli questo gesto è rimasto emblematico e inspiegabile. Oggi, grazie alla suggestiva ricostruzione di Pietrangelo Buttafuoco e di Francesca Bocca-Aldaqre, possiamo coglierne il senso: si tratta di un gesto simbolico della shahada, la testimonianza di fede che ogni musulmano deve compiere in punto di morte per riaffermare di credere nel Dio unico.

Sobre la figura de Shakespeare se sabe muy poco y se ha especulado mucho, probablemente demasiado. Con su habitual sabiduría, ironía y buen gusto, Bill Bryson prefiere explicarnos los hechos probados de la vida y la época de Shakespeare, y desmonta muchos de los mitos que lo rodean. Gracias a ello, este audiolibro es quizás la mejor manera de introducirse en el universo del genial dramaturgo inglés.

Este es un audiolibro sobre la escritura de García Márquez y cómo esta evolucionó y cambió con el tiempo.

This funny, rich, raunchy autobiography re-creates the adventures of a very young soldier in the US Army at the height of the Depression. Charles Willeford was 16 in 1935 when he signed up and was sent to the Philippines. And the Philippines of those days was like a place out of another century. Willeford’s job was to fuel aircraft whose pilots treated him and his buddies almost like slaves. At night, however, he was a lord, fully exploring a great, timeless, and sensual city with a multitude of women available - even on a private’s pay.

I Was Looking for a Street tells the story of the author's childhood and adolescence as an orphan, as he moves from railroad yards to hobo tent cities, to soup kitchens and deserts around Los Angeles and across the United States. The ensuing tale is at once a picaresque adventure through Depression-era America and a portrait of the writer as a young man of seemingly little promise but great spirit.

Delmore Schwartz: The Life of an American Poet is based on interviews, letters, and an extraordinary collection of unpublished papers that had never before been examined. Delmore Schwartz was only 24 in 1938 when his first book, In Dreams Begin Responsibilities, was published. He received praise from T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Allen Tate, John Crowe Ransom, Wallace Stevens, and William Carlos Williams.

Bastard Out of Carolina, nominated for the 1992 National Book Award for fiction, introduced Dorothy Allison as one of the most passionate and gifted writers of her generation. Now, in Two or Three Things I Know for Sure, she takes a probing look at her family's history to give us a lyrical, complex memoir that explores how the gossip of one generation can become legends for the next.

¿Cómo Juan Carlos I, un rey con una fuerza icónica única en Europa, con un país a sus pies, con ciertos políticos cómplices, con dinero y con las mujeres más guapas del mundo, pudo jugárselo todo? En su carrera hacia el abismo fue dejando atrás familia, amigos, prestigio, honorabilidad… ¿Fue por una mujer? ¿Por amor al dinero? ¿Por inconsciencia o por arrogancia?

This intoxicating book by the author of The Revolution of Little Girls combines autobiography, reporting, and the dressed-up lies we call fiction. An underground classic since its initial publication, it is the wildly funny personal testament of Blanche McCrary Boyd, '60s radical and born-again Southerner, a lesbian with an un-PC passion for skydiving and stock-car racing, a graduate of Esalen and kundalini yoga who now takes her altered states "raw, like oysters".

The story of F. Scott Fitzgerald's creation of Jay Gatsby - war hero and Oxford man - at the beginning of the Jazz Age, when the City of Dreaming Spires attracted an astounding array of intellectuals, including the Inklings, W. B. Yeats, and T. S. Eliot.

Ernest Hemingway, the Nobel Prize-winning author, was known as much for his prose as for his travels to exotic locales; his gusto and charm created excitement wherever he went. In Ernest's Way, we follow Cristen around the globe to the places he lived, wrote, fought, drank, fished, ran with the bulls, and held court with T.S. Elliot, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, Gertrude Stein and many other influential writers, artists, and intellectuals of the 20th century.

Cumplir cincuenta años sigue siendo algo inquietante, a pesar del progreso científico, del retraso de la mortalidad y del aumento en la calidad de la vida contemporánea. El escritor Fernando Iwasaki lo comprobó cuando compiló las crónicas que publicó en el suplemento "Laberinto" del diario "Milenio" y entonces decidió titularlas "El laberinto de los cincuenta" porque "al releerlas descubrí divertido el típico tono retro, a veces enfurruñado, siempre nostálgico y en cualquier caso amarrido....

Una poeta, non una poetessa. Rock, ribelle, sopra le righe, contro ogni forma di convenzione e d'ipocrisia. Due matrimoni, quattro figlie, e una guerra mondiale, ricoveri in manicomio, telefonate notturne, amori celebri e indimenticabili furori, cicche di sigaretta, scrittura, solitudini. Alda Merini è impossibile da contenere entro i bordi di una pagina perché i suoi versi e la sua storia esondano, invadono la vita. Questa è una sua storia, narrata per le strade di Milano, tra le pareti della sua casa, nelle pieghe di decenni in cui le donne cambiavano, e con loro l'Italia.

Che stia dando la caccia agli scarafaggi che infestano il suo appartamento, baciando una bellissima attrice sul set di un film di...

Una figlia appassionata, un padre che è stato uno degli scrittori più importanti del Novecento, una famiglia i cui ricordi emergono nitidi come personaggi di un romanzo. Giorgio Bassani abita il lessico famigliare che la figlia Paola racconta per la prima volta in questo libro, con la stessa forza poetica e umana che ha accompagnato la sua vita e la vasta produzione letteraria. Poeta, narratore, insegnante, giornalista, sportivo, politico, sceneggiatore, e accanto e soprattutto padre, marito e uomo passionale, innamorato della bellezza in tutte le sue forme.

En este audiolibro, Sheridan arma los fragmentos de una autobiografía que escribió sin proyecto, pero sin titubeos. Un autorretrato que se teje casualmente con los materiales de la infancia, el árbol genealógico, las sosegadas aventuras de la edad adulta, los libros, y todas esas experiencias que se asientan en el cuerpo y el espíritu, conformando así al individuo. Toda una vida estaría conmigo es un recorrido por la azarosa, entrañable galería de la memoria que vuelve y da sentido y orden al caos del presente.

In The Lives of Michel Foucault, David Macey quotes the iconic French philosopher as speaking “nostalgically...of 'an unforgettable evening on LSD, in carefully prepared doses, in the desert night, with delicious music, [and] nice people'". This came to pass in 1975, when Foucault spent Memorial Day weekend in Southern California at the invitation of Simeon Wade - ostensibly to guest-lecture at the Claremont Graduate School where Wade was an assistant professor, but in truth to explore what he called the Valley of Death.

Mohan Rakesh ki zindagi ek khuli kitaab hai. Usne jo kuch likha aur kiya- vah duniya ko maalum hai. Lekin usne jo kuch jiya- yeh sirf use maalum tha. Apni saanson ki kahani usne diariyon mein darz ki hai. Aur kitna takleefdeh hai ye ehsaas ki Rakesh jaisa lekhak apne anubhavon ki kahaniyan duniya ke liye likh jaaye aur apne vyaktigat santaap, sukh aur dukh ke shadhon ko jaanane aur pehchaanane ke liye apne dastavez doston ke paas chodh jaaye…
