Story
Nella primavera 1944 Anna Banti ha quasi ultimato il suo racconto biografico dedicato all'artista seicentesca Artemisia Gentileschi, ma in agosto il manoscritto va distrutto nei bombardamenti tedeschi su Firenze. Con "ostinazione accorata" la scrittrice torna allora al suo personaggio, "pittrice valentissima" ma soprattutto "una delle prime donne che sostennero colle parole e colle opere il diritto al lavoro congeniale e a una parità di spirito fra i due sessi".

Cosa succede quando ti abitui all'infelicità? Alessio non ci ha mai pensato, fino al giorno in cui Elena entra nella sua vita e gli mostra che esiste qualcosa di bello e luminoso al di là delle responsabilità sul lavoro e della routine. Ma poi Elena sparisce, così com'è arrivata. E Alessio entra in una strana crisi personale: ha 29 anni, vive a Milano e ha un lavoro che gli piace. Però manca qualcosa: qualcosa di suo e di nessun altro. I sogni di un tempo dove sono finiti?

Spendeva in abiti, libri e cavalli, era amico di artisti, consigliere di principi e confidente di dame. Scriveva lunghe lettere alla madre, dense di dettagli e pettegolezzi. Amava il gioco del potere e della politica ma ne rimase più volte scottato e deluso. Ebbe due grandi amori: Elisabetta Gonzaga, conosciuta da bambino e andata sposa a Guidubaldo da Montefeltro, e Ippolita Torelli, che finalmente sposò dopo una serie di fidanzamenti concordati per interesse o calcolo.

Parigi, 1894. Mentre si immerge nelle intricate ricerche per la sua seconda laurea in Matematica, dopo aver conseguito quella in Fisica, Marie s'imbatte in Pierre, un animo affine in grado di decifrare la sua mente complessa. Tra loro nasce un connubio di intelletti straordinari, uniti dalla sete di conoscenza e dalla volontà di esplorare insieme gli enigmi dell'universo. Tuttavia, Marie fin da giovane si rivela essere una donna particolare: rifiuta il destino di moglie tradizionale, respingendo l'idea di confinarsi tra le mura domestiche.

"Desert solitaire" è diventato un libro di culto sin dalla sua pubblicazione, nel 1968. Un racconto provocatorio e mistico, arrabbiato e appassionato, in cui Edward Abbey ci restituisce la sua esperienza di ranger nell'Arches National Monument, nel Sudest dello Utah, catturandone l'essenza e trasmettendoci il desiderio di vivere nella natura e conoscerla nella sua forma più pura: silenzio, lotta, bellezza abbagliante.

Quattro persone entrarono nel Pardès, nel giardino dell'Eden, è scritto nel Talmud, ma soltanto una ne uscì incolume. Le vie dell'Eden, infatti, dove maturano i frutti più preziosi della vita, sono lastricate di pericoli. Lo sanno bene i personaggi che compongono questo trittico dove, ancora una volta, Eshkol Nevo indaga dietro le maschere che vestiamo per gli altri, ma anche su quelle che indossiamo quando ci troviamo di fronte a verità troppo difficili, o pericolose, da accettare.

Story
Primo e meno noto romanzo di Kafka, "America" narra le tragicomiche vicende di un ragazzo praghese che, per una disavventura con una cameriera, viene spedito dalla famiglia oltreoceano. In questa terra sconfinata, il candido e disorientato Karl cercherà la sua strada incappando in sventure e tradimenti, benefattori o presunti tali, e situazioni oltremodo bizzarre. Kafka lasciò incompiuta questa sua opera dagli echi dickensiani.

Story
Uscita nel settembre 1971, "Le notti difficili" è l'ultima opera pubblicata da Buzzati. Nei cinquantuno testi spesso autobiografici che compongono la raccolta, elzeviri e racconti soprattutto, tornano in chiave rinnovata i temi più cari all'autore: l'inquietudine delle attese, il senso dello scorrere del tempo, gli incubi notturni, l'indifferenza del destino, la magia racchiusa nell'ovvio... Il tutto sullo sfondo di una quotidianità percorsa da strani segni premonitori, in continua oscillazione tra la cronaca e un realismo favoloso.

Per tutta la vita si è impegnata a stare dalla parte giusta: i fascisti erano gli altri, quelli contro cui lottare. Finché un giorno scopre il passato del nonno, fascista convinto della prima ora. Perché nessuno le ha mai detto la verità? Era un segreto di cui vergognarsi oppure un pezzo di storia inconsciamente cancellato? "Sono stata pure io complice di questa amnesia?" si chiede Michela dopo aver ritrovato una vecchia teca piena di tessere e medaglie del Ventennio.

Per non perderlo (ad esempio fra le calli di Venezia, in una passeggiata dell’infanzia) occorre comprendere e accettare la legge della sua distrazione, della sua distanza.

Story
Questo romanzo è considerato uno dei massimi capolavori della letteratura russa. Dostoevskij iniziò a scriverlo nel 1867, in esilio per debiti, e lo terminò in Italia nel 1869. L'autore descrisse così in una lettera il nucleo poetico del romanzo a cui stava lavorando: "Da tempo mi tormentava un'idea, ma avevo paura di farne un romanzo, perché è un'idea troppo difficile e non ci sono preparato, anche se è estremamente seducente e la amo. Quest'idea è raffigurare un uomo assolutamente buono."

Una sera, mentre rilegge "Pinocchio", un uomo sente la presenza del figlio che non ha avuto, il figlio che la madre - la donna con cui in gioventù lo concepì - decise di abortire. Alla fiamma del camino, il figlio gli appare già adulto, e quella presenza basta "qui e stasera" a fare la sua paternità. Per tutta la notte, al figlio "estratto da una cena d'inverno" lui racconta "un poco di vita scivolata". E così ecco l'infanzia napoletana, la nostalgia della madre e del padre, il bisogno di andare via, di seguire la propria libertà, le guerre trascorse ma anche i baci che ha dato.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.
