Story
Herman Melville's epic tale of obsession has all the ingredients of a first rate drama - fascinating characters in solitude and society, battles between good and evil, a thrilling chase to the death - and yet its allusions, digressions, and sheer scope can prove daunting to even the most intrepid listener. George Cotkin's Dive Deeper provides both a guide to the novel and a record of its dazzling cultural train. It supplies easy-to-follow plot points for each of the novel's 135 sections before taking up a salient phrase, image, or idea in each for further exploration.

Story
Penned by one of Nichol’s numerous literary collaborators, this account reveals the close connections among the writer’s various activities, particularly how the autobiographical inquiries and Freudian dream theory linked with the young poet’s biographical self-awareness. The audiobook demonstrates how the subject’s main psychoanalytic client was his own writing, following Nichol as he explored its slips, accidental puns, and "unintended" meanings and implications for the communal future of the human species - both in high literature and comical prime time television.

Story
Derided by the Right as dangerous and by the Left as spineless, Barack Obama puzzles observers. In Reading Obama, James T. Kloppenberg reveals the sources of Obama's ideas and explains why his principled aversion to absolutes does not fit contemporary partisan categories. Obama's commitments to deliberation and experimentation derive from sustained engagement with American democratic thought.

Story
Moribonda è la critica letteraria. La sua è un'agonia loquace, che si esprime in una querula corrente di elzeviri, recensioni e monografie, su siti e social network, tra le pagine di libri, quotidiani e settimanali. Pagine che, analizzate come un unico testo, assomigliano sempre più a un certificato di morte, o meglio, all'autocertificazione di un decesso.

Story
Bigger Thomas, the central figure in Richard Wright’s novel Native Son (1940), eludes easy categorization. A violent and troubled character who rejects the rules of society, Bigger is both victim and perpetrator, damaged by racism and segregation on the South Side of Chicago, seemingly raping and killing without regrets. His story has electrified readers for more than eight decades, and it continues to galvanize debates around representation, respectability, social justice, and racism in American life.

Story
Fatta passare per millenni come una storia meravigliosa e travagliata, a tratti cruenta ma destinata a buon fine, l’Odissea spiazza da subito il lettore con il suo incedere altalenante e il suo scarso equilibrio, visto che le peripezie di Ulisse tra maghe e ciclopi, sirene e mostri marini, che tanto hanno affascinato i lettori di ogni epoca, impegnano a malapena un sesto di un poema che è dedicato piuttosto, nella sua parte preponderante, ai preparativi di un massacro tremendo e immotivato, quello dei cosiddetti "proci", i pretendenti di Penelope.

Story
Incantate fantasmagorie e sorprendenti divagazioni sono quelle che animano il capolavoro letterario di Ariosto. Un'opera che profetizza la modernità e le sue mai prevedibili traiettorie. Un'opera che sembra volerci raccontare di semplici cavalieri erranti appartenenti a un mondo lontano, e invece parla di noi, abitatori del ventunesimo secolo. Questo è l'Orlando furioso. Un'avventura letteraria di cui sono protagonisti la follia e l'amore.

In ogni casa ce n'è almeno uno, basta solo guardare bene: sono nascosti sugli scaffali della sala, con le coste gialle che si intravedono dietro a tomi seriosi e capolavori della letteratura; spuntano fuori a sorpresa da un portariviste, tra un quotidiano e un settimanale politico; appaiono magicamente nelle mani di figli e nipoti, cuginetti e fratelli minori, che sgranano gli occhi su quelle vignette con la stessa meraviglia con cui lo abbiamo fatto noi anni fa e i nostri genitori prima di noi.

"Il nuotatore di Cheever comprime tra le sue tenaglie tutta la vita di un alcolista. Io volevo seguire la stessa traiettoria oscura. Volevo sapere perché gli scrittori bevono e come questa miscela di spiriti si è ripercossa sull'organismo della letteratura." Cresciuta in una famiglia di alcolisti, Olivia Laing legge a diciassette anni La gatta sul tetto che scotta di Tennessee Williams e per la prima volta ritrova sulla pagina i comportamenti che conosce così bene, resi vivi dalle parole del drammaturgo.

The sheer volume of commentaries on the Mahabharata is awe-inspiring. So, what is it in the Mahabharata that gives it its timeless magic? Is it the mythical characters with which it is replete that makes the epic so enchanting? Or is it the great wealth of philosophical and metaphysical ideas in it that dazzles its audiences? Or could it be a combination of all these that makes it ever-fascinating to scholars and audiences around the world? And, most of all, what accounts for its incredible effect on the subconscious of millions of Indians through several generations?

Story
“Non lasciare mai che la verità intralci una buona storia” amava dire Chuck Kinder a Nicola Manuppelli, il giovane italiano che avrebbe voluto scrivere la sua biografia. Le cose che Kinder gli andava raccontando di sé non erano necessariamente vere, ma erano buone storie. I due si erano conosciuti nel 2008. Divenuti presto intimi amici, il celebre scrittore gli aprì le porte del suo mondo: un’allegra brigata di “pessimi uomini” con i loro meravigliosi romanzi e le loro vite disastrate e complesse, rinsaldate però da un fortissimo senso dell’amicizia.

Con "L’immaginazione melodrammatica" Peter Brooks analizza e spiega, a partire dalla sua nascita in seno alla Rivoluzione francese, cosa è stato, cosa è diventato e qual è la natura del melodramma, da genere teatrale a modello compositivo di romanzi, film e altri tipi di narrazioni. L’immaginazione letteraria contemporanea cela le proprie radici nel melodramma, una forma di teatro in prosa con accompagnamento orchestrale che ha conquistato Parigi nei primi decenni del XIX secolo per diffondersi poi con successo in tutta Europa in quelli successivi.

A settantanni dalla sua tragica scomparsa il presidente della fondazione Cesare Pavese ci guida nella Torino di uno dei più grandi scrittori del Novecento. La città, il Mito, la donna, l’America, le Langhe: isole di un viaggio omerico senza ritorno, senza regno, senza Itaca. Le parole con cui Cesare Pavese ha descritto questo viaggio, le sue opere, sono un’occasione di incontro che il lettore ha con sé stesso; specchi in cui “vedere […] riemergere un viso morto”, trovare il Minotauro indifeso al centro del labirinto borgesiano.
