Mary Welsh, a celebrated wartime journalist during the London Blitz and the liberation of Paris, meets Ernest Hemingway in May 1944. He becomes so infatuated with Mary that he asks her to marry him the third time they meet—although they are married to other people. Eventually, she succumbs to Ernest's campaign, and in the last days of the war joined him at his estate in Cuba. Through Mary's eyes, we see Ernest Hemingway in a fresh light. Their turbulent marriage survives his cruelty and abuse, perhaps because of their sexual compatibility and her essential contribution to his writing.

Oltre cento interviste distribuite nell'arco di quattro decenni: il più imponente corpus disponibile di autocommenti calviniani. L'effetto è quello di un grande cantiere autobiografico: un'autobiografia in progress, mobile e sfaccettata, costruita per successive espansioni. Un'autopresentazione simile a un prisma rotante che prende forma davanti ai nostri occhi, senza mai consentire una visione completa e stabilizzata. Proprio così, forse, Calvino avrebbe desiderato apparire: coerente ma non inerte, dinamico senza essere dispersivo, e intento a un'assidua costruzione di sé.

Anni fa, sulle rive del lago Bajkal, in Siberia, una donna mi lesse la mano. E un paio di anni dopo un bramino della città sacra di Vrindavan, in India, guardò nel mio futuro. Entrambi mi raccontarono delle stesse gioie che mi avrebbe riservato la vita. E della morte. Prematura e violenta. Che dovrebbe cogliermi tra poco.Alcune tra le cose predette si sono avverate. Altre non saprei. Le parole si sono perse nel tempo insieme alle cose a cui non do importanza. Ma con l’avvicinarsi di quell’appuntamento mi sono ritrovato a concentrarmi su un errore della divinazione.

When Ted Turner started out in business, he owned a small billboard company in rural Georgia. Over the decades, he built a multi-billion empire that included CNN, Turner Classic Movies (TCM), MGM studios, and the Atlanta Braves. Risk-taking, careful planning, and steely determination are the hallmarks of this brash, outspoken, and wildly successful media mogul. On the other side of the world, his counterpart—Australian-born Rupert Murdoch—began with one small newspaper and parlayed it into more than 100 newspapers and magazines around the globe.

Vent’anni fa ci lasciava Indro Montanelli, il giornalista che ha attraversato tutto il Novecento e lo ha raccontato a lungo con la sua verve e il suo piglio controcorrente. Nato a Fucecchio nel 1909, cominciò la sua carriera «dentro alla cronaca» nella guerra d’Abissinia. Da allora, tutti i grandi eventi storici lo videro in prima linea: era nella Spagna della guerra civile, in Polonia quando i panzer tedeschi scatenarono il secondo conflitto mondiale, nei Paesi baltici e nella Finlandia calpestati dai carri armati sovietici.

Les morts sont des invisibles, ils ne sont pas des absents. Dehors, il fait 5 °C, le temps est gris et venteux. Dans un instant, le prêtre va célébrer la messe d'enterrement de maman.

J'aimerais imaginer que c'est maman qui se manifeste, et, pourtant, le doute m'assaille. La prudence voudrait que je n'y croie pas, mais, au fil du temps, de nouveaux signes – un papillon, une biche, une bague... – m'entraînent dans un monde parallèle.
