Dialogue's super lead for 2020. From the author of the New York Times bestseller THE MOTHERS, a powerful new novel about the parallel lives of estranged twin sisters who choose to live in two very different worlds - one black and one white.The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Ten years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' story lines intersect?Weaving together multiple strands and generations of this family, from the Deep South to California, from the 1950s to the 1990s, Brit Bennett produces a story that is at once a riveting, emotional family story and a brilliant exploration of the American history of passing. Looking well beyond issues of race, THE VANISHING HALF considers the lasting influence of the past as it shapes a person's decisions, desires, and expectations, and explores some of the multiple reasons and realms in which people sometimes feel pulled to live as something other than their origins.

Can there be any greater challenge to London's Ambitious Mamas than an unmarried duke?—Lady Whistledown's Society Papers, April 1813

Il romanzo comincia seguendo le due protagoniste bambine, e poi adolescenti, tra le quinte di un rione miserabile della periferia napoletana, tra una folla di personaggi minori accompagnati lungo il loro percorso con attenta assiduita. L'autrice scava nella natura complessa dell'amicizia tra due bambine, tra due ragazzine, tra due donne, seguendo la loro crescita individuale, il modo di influenzarsi reciprocamente, i buoni e i cattivi sentimenti che nutrono nei decenni un rapporto vero, robusto. Narra poi gli effetti dei cambiamenti che investono il rione, Napoli, l'Italia, in piu di un cinquantennio, trasformando le amiche e il loro legame. E tutto cio precipita nella pagina con l'andamento delle grandi narrazioni popolari, dense e insieme veloci, profonde e lievi, rovesciando di continuo situazioni, svelando fondi segreti dei personaggi, sommando evento a evento senza tregua, ma con la profondita e la potenza di voce a cui l'autrice ci ha abituati. Si tratta di quel genere di libro che non finisce. O, per dire meglio, l'autrice porta compiutamente a termine in questo primo romanzo la narrazione dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza di Lila e di Elena, ma ci lascia sulla soglia di nuovi grandi mutamenti che stanno per sconvolgere le loro vite e il loro intensissimo rapporto.

' François pensa : si elle commande un déca, je me lève et je m'en vais. C'est la boisson la moins conviviale qui soit. Un thé, ce n'est guère mieux. On sent qu'on va passer des dimanches après-midi a regarder la télévision. Ou pire : chez les beaux-parents. Finalement, il se dit qu'un jus ça serait bien. Oui, un jus, c'est sympathique. C'est convivial et pas trop agressif. On sent la fille douce et équilibrée. Mais quel jus ? Mieux vaut esquiver les grands classiques : évitons la pomme ou l'orange, trop vu. Il faut être un tout petit peu original, sans être toutefois excentrique. La papaye ou la goyave, ça fait peur. Le jus d'abricot, ça serait parfait. Si elle choisit ça, je l'épouse…- Je vais prendre un jus… Un jus d'abricot, je crois, répondit Nathalie.Il la regarda comme si elle était une effraction de la réalité.

'Je pourrais dire que c'est un recueil de nouvelles, que ce sont des histoires, qu'il y en a sept en tout et qu'elles commencent toutes a la première personne du singulier mais je ne le vois pas ainsi. Pour moi, ce ne sont pas des histoires et encore moins des personnages, ce sont des gens. De vraies gens.Ils parlent pour essayer d'y voir clair, ils se dévoilent, ils se confient, ils fendent l'armure. Tous n'y parviennent pas mais de les regarder essayer, déja, cela m'a émue. C'est prétentieux de parler de ses propres personnages en avouant qu'ils vous ont émue mais je vous le répète : pour moi ce ne sont pas des personnages, ce sont des gens, de réelles gens, de nouvelles gens, et c'est eux que je vous confie aujourd'hui.'Anne Gavalda.

' J'ai ainsi vécu seul, sans personne avec qui parler véritablement, jusqu'à une panne dans le désert du Sahara, il y a six ans. Quelque chose s'était cassé dans mon moteur. Et comme je n'avais avec moi ni mécanicien, ni passagers, je me préparai à essayer de réussir, tout seul, une réparation difficile. C'était pour moi une question de vie ou de mort. J'avais à peine de l'eau à boire pour huit jours. Le premier soir je me suis donc endormi sur le sable à mille milles de toute terre habitée. J'étais bien plus isolé qu'un naufragé sur un radeau au milieu de l'océan. Alors vous imaginez ma surprise, au lever du jour, quand une drôle de petite voix m'a réveillé. Elle disait : ... '

Per un ipocondriaco che vuole smettere di tormentare chi gli sta accanto con le proprie ossessioni, trovare una valvola di sfogo e una questione vitale. Ma come si impara ad affrontare la paura da soli? Forse raccontandosi. È quello che fa Lorenzo Marone, senza timore di mostrarsi vulnerabile, con una voce che all'ansia preferisce lo stupore e il divertimento. Scorrendo l'inventario delle sue fobie ognuno puo incontrare un pezzo di se e partecipare all'affannosa, autoironica ricerca di una via di fuga in discipline e pratiche disparate: dalla medicina alla fisica all'astronomia, dalla psicologia alla religione, dai tarocchi all'astrologia. Alla fine, se esorcizzare del tutto l'angoscia resta un miraggio, possiamo comunque reagire alla fragilita ammettendola. E magari accogliere, con un po' di leggerezza, le imperfezioni che ci rendono unici. Le confessioni comiche, poetiche, paradossali di un cuore in allarme. Che prende in giro se stesso mettendo in scena quello che, da Moliere a Woody Allen, e sempre stato il piu irresistibile dei personaggi tragici.

Oliver Marks has just served ten years for the murder of one of his closest friends - a murder he may or may not have committed. On the day he's released, he's greeted by the detective who put him in prison. Detective Colborne is retiring, but before he does, he wants to know what really happened ten years ago. As a young actor studying Shakespeare at an elite arts conservatory, Oliver noticed that his talented classmates seem to play the same roles onstage and off - villain, hero, tyrant, temptress - though Oliver felt doomed to always be a secondary character in someone else's story. But when the teachers change up the casting, a good-natured rivalry turns ugly, and the plays spill dangerously over into life. When tragedy strikes, one of the seven friends is found dead. The rest face their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, and themselves, that they are blameless.

Over the Grass is the title poem of the book and the first poem I wrote of many. Some of which came to me in their entirety, which I dictated and then typed out, and some that I worked laboriously picking apart each word to make the perfect poem. They are eclectic and honest and not trying to be anything other than what they are and for that reason I'm proud of them, especially because the spirit in which they were written was very authentic. Lana Del Rey Lana's breathtaking first book solidifies her further as 'the essential writer of her times' (The Atlantic). The collection features more than thirty poems, many exclusive to the book: Never to Heaven, The Land of 1,000 Fires, Past the Bushes Cypress Thriving, LA Who Am I to Love You?, Tessa DiPietro, Happy, Paradise Is Very Fragile, Bare Feet on Linoleum and many more. This beautiful hardcover edition showcases Lana's typewritten manuscript pages alongside her original photography. The result is an extraordinary poetic landscape that reflects the unguarded spirit of its creator.

"Capii che ero arrivata fin la piena di superbia e mi resi conto che - in buona fede certo, con affetto - avevo fatto tutto quel viaggio soprattutto per mostrarle cio che lei aveva perso e cio che io avevo vinto. Lei naturalmente se ne era accorta fin dal momento in cui le ero comparsa davanti e ora stava reagendo spiegandomi di fatto che non avevo vinto niente, che al mondo non c'era alcunche da vincere, che la sua vita era piena di avventure diverse e scriteriate proprio quanto la mia, e che il tempo semplicemente scivolava via senza alcun senso, ed era bello solo vedersi ogni tanto per sentire il suono folle del cervello dell'una echeggiare dentro il suono folle del cervello dell'altra". Ecco "Storia del nuovo cognome", secondo romanzo del ciclo de "L'amica geniale". Ritroverete subito Lila ed Elena, il loro rapporto di amore e odio, l'intreccio inestricabile di dipendenza e volonta di autoaffermazione.

Elena e Lila, le due amiche la cui storia i lettori hanno imparato a conoscere attraverso "L'amica geniale" e "Storia del nuovo cognome", sono diventate donne. Lo sono diventate molto presto: Lila si e sposata a sedici anni, ha un figlio piccolo, ha lasciato il marito e l'agiatezza, lavora come operaia in condizioni durissime; Elena e andata via dal rione, ha studiato alla Normale di Pisa e ha pubblicato un romanzo di successo che le ha aperto le porte di un mondo benestante e colto. Ambedue hanno provato a forzare le barriere che le volevano chiuse in un destino di miseria, ignoranza e sottomissione. Ora navigano, con i ritmi travolgenti a cui Elena Ferrante ci ha abituati, nel grande mare aperto degli anni Settanta, uno scenario di speranze e incertezze, di tensioni e sfide fino ad allora impensabili, sempre unite da un legame fortissimo, ambivalente, a volte sotterraneo a volte riemergente in esplosioni violente o in incontri che aprono prospettive inattese.

' Nous nous approchâmes de la valise. Elle était ficelée par une grosse corde de paille tressée, nouée en croix. Nous la débarrassâmes de ses liens, et l'ouvrîmes silencieusement. À l'intérieur, des piles de livres s'illuminèrent sous notre torche électrique ; les grands écrivains occidentaux nous accueillirent à bras ouverts : à leur tête, se tenait notre vieil ami Balzac, avec cinq ou six romans, suivi de Victor Hugo, Stendhal, Dumas, Flaubert, Baudelaire, Romain Rolland, Rousseau, Tolstoï, Gogol, Dostoïevski, et quelques Anglais : Dickens, Kipling, Emily Brontë... Quel éblouissement ! Il referma la valise et, posant une main dessus, comme un chrétien prêtant serment, il me déclara : - Avec ces livres, je vais transformer la Petite Tailleuse. Elle ne sera plus jamais une simple montagnarde. '

La mia poesia va letta insieme, come una poesia sola. Non voglio fare il paragone con la "Divina Commedia", ma i miei tre libri li considero come tre cantiche, tre fasi di una vita umana dichiaro Montale nel 1966; e ancora nel 1977 affermo di aver scritto, in tutta la vita, un solo libro. Un libro in cui ciascuna delle otto raccolte appare come un capitolo dell'opera unitaria, all'interno della quale trova il suo pieno significato. Dagli Ossi di seppia del 1925, fino al Diario del '71 e del '72, oltre alle traduzioni e alle poesie disperse, questo volume offre una panoramica completa della produzione di un poeta che ha esercitato un'azione profonda e duratura sulla letteratura di tutto il Novecento, e ne e stato indiscusso protagonista.

"L'arte della gioia" e un libro postumo: giaceva da vent'anni abbandonato in una cassapanca e, dopo essere stato rifiutato da molti editori, venne stampato in pochi esemplari da Stampa Alternativa nel 1998. Ma soltanto quando usci in Francia ricevette il giusto riconoscimento. Nel romanzo tutto ruota intorno alla figura di Modesta: una donna vitale e scomoda, potentemente immorale secondo la morale comune. Una donna siciliana in cui si fondono carnalita e intelletto. Modesta nasce in una casa povera ma fin dall'inizio e consapevole di essere destinata a una vita che va oltre i confini del suo villaggio. Ancora ragazzina e mandata in un convento e successivamente in una casa di nobili dove, grazie al suo talento e alla sua intelligenza, riesce a convertirsi in aristocratica attraverso un matrimonio di convenienza. Tutto cio senza smettere di sedurre uomini e donne di ogni tipo. Amica generosa, madre affettuosa, amante sensuale: Modesta e una donna capace di scombinare ogni regola del gioco pur di godere del vero piacere, sfidando la cultura patriarcale, fascista, mafiosa e oppressiva in cui vive. "L'arte della gioia" e l'opera scandalo di una scrittrice. È un'autobiografia immaginaria. È un romanzo d'avventura. È un romanzo di formazione. Ed e anche un romanzo erotico, e politico, e psicologico. Insomma, e un romanzo indefinibile.

A Room of One's Own, based on a lecture given at Girton College, Cambridge, is one of the great feminist polemics, ranging in its themes from Jane Austen and Carlotte Bronte to the silent fate of Shakespeare's gifted (imaginary) sister and the effects of poverty and sexual constraint on female creativity. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is regarded as a major 20th century author and essayist, a key figure in literary history as a feminist and modernist, and the centre of 'The Bloomsbury Group'. This informal collective of artists and writers which included Lytton Strachey and Roger Fry, exerted a powerful influence over early twentieth-century British culture. Between 1925 and 1931 Virginia Woolf produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, from Mrs Dalloway (1925) to the poetic and highly experimental novel The Waves (1931).
