Espera y escucha con atención… por debajo del ruido de las conversaciones, de las obligaciones, del no saber... Escucha ahora que las horas se extienden en la puerta de embarque, en la soledad de una habitación de hotel, bajo el agua de la ducha, mientras acaricias las páginas de tu próxima lectura... y esperas.

Meet Anne Lister, the 18th-century landowner, industrialist, explorer, lesbian and feminist icon. This is her story.... Anne was different from society’s expectations of a woman at the time: she not only did not wish to marry, but she also did not want to conform. Anne was interested only in women and had ‘marriage’ ceremonies with Mariana Lawton and later Ann Walker. She spent a great deal of time studying, managed her own estates, sought business opportunities, travelled widely and climbed mountains.  

The terror and purges of Stalin's Russia in the 1930s discouraged Soviet officials from leaving documentary records, let alone keeping personal diaries. A remarkable exception is the unique diary assiduously kept by Ivan Maisky, the Soviet ambassador to London between 1932 and 1943. This selection from Maisky's diary grippingly documents Britain's drift to war during the 1930s, appeasement in the Munich era, negotiations leading to the signature of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact....

Memorie di un libraio è un ironico, colto, originale viaggio nel mondo dei libri in compagnia di uno dei più grandi autori del Novecento. George Orwell descrive le lunghe giornate trascorse come commesso in una libreria dell’usato, tra volumi polverosi e clienti stravaganti; ci fa apprezzare...

The crônica, a literary genre peculiar to Brazilian newspapers, allows writers, or even soccer stars, to address a wide readership on any theme they like. Chatty, mystical, intimate, flirtatious, and revelatory, Clarice Lispector’s pieces for the Saturday edition of Rio’s leading paper, the Jornal do Brasil, from 1967 to 1973, take the forms of memories, essays, aphorisms, and serialized stories. Endlessly delightful, her insights make one sit up and think, whether about children or social ills or pets or society women or the business of writing or love.

Dieses dem Buch zugrunde liegende schriftliche Material ist im strengen Sinn kein Tagebuch, trotzdem wird der Begriff übernommen, weil der Soldat Engelbert selbst von einem Tagebuch spricht. Das aufgefundeneTagebuch und die Briefe sind Geschichte zum anfassen und hinterlassen nach dem Lesen meist mehr Fragen als sie Antworten geben. So ist es auch dem Herausgeber mit dem Tagebuch von Engelbert ergangen. Dabei können Tagebücher viel über einen Menschen aussagen, wenn der Tagebuchschreiber sich an die Wahrheit hält und ehrlich mit sich selbst umgeht. Und da stellt sich die Frage?

'Put very simply, the details of my life could be boiled down to "boy dreams of being a comedian and then becomes one", so in a basic sense everything has gone according to plan. Item number one on the lifetime to-do list has been well and truly ticked off. 'But, of course, things are never that...

Durante veintiún años como reportero de guerra, Arturo Pérez-Reverte vivió en primera línea los conflictos más cruentos del último tercio del siglo XX. Su experiencia en escenarios bélicos de todo el mundo marcó su vida y dejó huella en su posterior obra literaria.

Judy Montagu spent her late teenage years and early twenties directing anti-aircraft defenses during the Second World War as a Captain in Gunnery for the British Army. Demobilised in 1946, she set out in search of fun and freedom in America and found herself swept into a bright and glamorous social circle. She soon counted Joe Alsop and the Cushing Sisters among her new friends and even began to consider becoming a US citizen. In 1949, determined to understand America more deeply, Judy embarked on a three-month tour of the country by Greyhound bus.

The journals of the Nobel Prize–winning author, beautifully illustrated with his own paintings For many years, Orhan Pamuk kept a record of his daily thoughts and observations, entering them in small notebooks and illustrating them with his own paintings. This book combines those notebooks...

La dulce existencia es un relato atravesado por la búsqueda de la belleza y por el peso de la memoria. Los vientos y la luz dorada de Cadaqués, las mañanas en el Casino, el magnetismo de los actores y productores, el coqueteo, los restaurantes de playa, los libros de cabecera… Todo ello en un vaivén constante entre la realidad y la invención, entre lo que se vive y lo que se recuerda. Y ese retorno es, a la vez, un vértigo y un anhelo: «Me quiero quedar aquí –confiesa–. Y que todo vuelva a empezar». Un viaje al paraíso antes de la conciencia de su pérdida.

Winner of the 2018 Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album. When Carrie Fisher recently discovered the journals she kept during the filming of the first Star Wars movie, she was astonished to see what they had preserved—plaintive love poems, unbridled musings with youthful naiveté, and a...

Tra il 1956 e il 1972, sulle pagine del Mondo, del Corriere della Sera, dell'Europeo, Flaiano ha costruito, articolo dopo articolo, aforisma dopo aforisma, un catalogo implacabile delle illusioni italiane. Il suo sguardo non risparmia nulla, nemmeno sé stesso: ironico fino alla ferocia, malinconico fino alla tenerezza, sempre troppo lucido per l'epoca che lo circondava. L'aforisma si fa racconto. Il frammento si fa tempo. E il tempo rivela ciò che di questi testi è insieme il dono e la condanna: tutto ciò che Flaiano scriveva sessant'anni fa sull'Italia sembra scritto stamattina.

De 1862 à 1865, Edmond et Jules de Goncourt consignent, jour après jour, leurs Mémoires de la vie littéraire. Ce deuxième volume s’ouvre sur un premier janvier endeuillé, où le souvenir des absents glace le cœur, puis nous fait gravir l’escalier jusqu’à la modeste chambre du cinquième d’une vieille cousine, Cornélie, assaillie de visites — dames, collégiens, parents, au point qu’il n’y a plus de sièges.
