Essere donna ed essere artista, agli albori del Novecento, era quasi inconciliabile. Eppure qualcuna è riuscita, con grande maestria, a lasciare incantevoli tracce del proprio passaggio nel mondo. Questa è la storia di Leonora Carrington e Remedios Varo: non più muse, ma "amabili streghe".

This book is a roller coaster of self-induced situations my friends and I found ourselves in over the years. Our immediate goal was simple.... Take it as far as we could to the next level and still wake up the next day. Of course, after a while, we didn't care if we woke up or not. Join me as I take you on a journey into nothingness...a journey into the depths of intoxication at its best and worst. Follow me as I show you what life was like for some small-town Southern boys and how we managed to finally find our way out of the situations we so often enjoyed finding.

Magie Dominic’s first memoir, The Queen of Peace Room, was shortlisted for the Canadian Women’s Studies Award, ForeWord magazine’s Book of the Year Award, and the Judy Grahn Award. Told over an eight-day period, the book captured a lifetime of turbulent memories, documenting with skill Dominic’s experiences of violence, incest, and rape. But her story wasn’t finished.

Memories are like layers of your skin or layers of paint on a canvas.

Di Paolo Borsellino, del suo esempio e del suo lavoro di contrasto alla mafia, si è sempre parlato molto. Negli ultimi tempi, forse, si parla più della sua morte, dei misteri che la avvolgono, delle trame che si sono consumate prima e dopo di essa. Ma della famiglia Borsellino, dell'uomo anziché del giudice, dei figli e della moglie, non si sa molto. Fin dai primi, terribili giorni dopo l'attentato di via D'Amelio, infatti, la moglie Agnese e i figli Lucia, Manfredi e Fiammetta - allora poco più che adolescenti - hanno mantenuto uno stretto riserbo e sono intervenuti solo raramente nel dibattito mediatico.

È il 31 gennaio del 1965 quando Nino Marano entra in carcere per aver rubato melanzane e peperoni, la ruota di un'Ape e una bicicletta.

Dietro quelle sbarre le mie mani si sono macchiate di sangue e io sono diventato un assassino". Il presidente della Repubblica è Giuseppe Saragat, s'inaugura il traforo del Monte Bianco e i Beatles arrivano in Italia ma Nino sembra uscito da un romanzo di Verga.

This audiobook is based on the autobiography of Hamid Bey, titled My Life Preceding 5,000 Burials, telling the dramatic story of the life of Master Hamid Bey, who could control his heartbeat to three beats per minute and put himself in a trance.

Bey also was able to stick pins in his body with no visible marks to be left, and he appeared on the old Ed Sullivan Show to demonstrate his ability to withstand weight when he had Mr. Sullivan stand on his body while he laid on a bed of nails.
