Cuando, en 1770, la archiduquesa María Antonieta de Habsburgo-Lorena, hija de la emperatriz María Teresa de Austria, deja Viena para unirse al futuro Luis XVI, es una de las princesas más afortunadas de Europa. Pero su innata gentileza se revela un arma de doble filo en la moralmente relajada corte que la recibe: la astucia de algunos nobles en Versalles nada tiene que envidiar a la de las cortesanas que van minando los cimientos de la centenaria monarquía francesa.

As an expert and speaker on mass shootings and gun violence, Dr. Lynn Fenton knew it was impossible to “spot a killer”. But when she met her new patient, troubled grad student James Holmes, the hair on her arms stood up. She feared he was going to kill. Yet she could find no way to thwart him. A few months later, Holmes struck: He entered a packed movie theater and opened fire, killing 12 people and wounding 70; some were left brain damaged, several were paralyzed for life. Immediately the familiar debates reignited: the crisis of mental health access.

From her unique childhood to her all-consuming fascination with Thomas Cromwell that grew into the Wolf Hall Trilogy, Hilary Mantel had a celebrated career as a novelist. Alongside this, she long contributed to newspapers and journals, unspooling stories from her own life and illuminating the world as she found it. This strand of Hilary's writing was an integral part of how she thought of herself. 'Ink is a generative fluid,' she explains. 'If you don't mean your words to breed consequences, don't write at all.' A Memoir of My Former Self collects the finest of this writing over four decades.

How does one describe the indescribable? With trust, the words will come to paint a faint image of that which lives and dwells in us all. This is a true story of a blessed life that through a series of events went to a dark place of abusive relationships and drug addiction, until one night while sitting in a car, Sharon Kay Casey's path changed forever, when she heard God’s voice say, “Trust me.” A few years later she entered a place of golden light.  

Aurora James’s life is a great American “success story”—precisely because it looks so different from others we’ve seen. Scouted as a teen model, James struggled with body image and became disenchanted by the industry’s objectification of women and commodification of race. After she’d hit rock bottom, dropping out of high school and being arrested for street racing, she was forced to reshape her life. A slew of fashion-related jobs led James to discover the power of the runway, and she started her own business in a flea market.

Mass violence committed by young people is now an epidemic. The reasons behind this escalating violence and the cultural forces that have impugned a generation is the subject of this important new book. The Spiral Notebook is full of interviews with Generation Z, a group dogged by big pharma and antidepressants and ADHD drugs, by a doomsday/apocalyptic mentality present since birth, and by an entertainment industry that has turned violence into parlor games.

On July 20, 2012 in Aurora, Colorado, a man in dark body armor and a gas mask entered a midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises with a tactical shotgun, a high-capacity assault rifle, and a sidearm. Soon twelve were dead and fifty-eight were wounded. A Dark Night in Aurora uses the twenty-three hours of unredacted interview transcripts never seen by the public and Reid’s research to bring the listener inside the mind of a mass murderer. The result is chilling, gripping study of abnormal psychology and how a lovely boy named Jimmy became a killer.

Etty Hillesum, scomparsa poco prima di compiere trent’anni ad Auschwitz, con il suo diario e le sue lettere ci ha lasciato una straordinaria testimonianza del cuore nero del Novecento ed è diventata un simbolo della resistenza spirituale di fronte al Male. Ma prima di trasformarsi in una figura simbolica, racconta Elisabetta Rasy in questo libro, la intrepida ebrea olandese è stata una giovane donna libera, inquieta e irriverente, tenacemente intenta alla scoperta di sé stessa e del senso dell’esistenza, desiderosa di amore e di amicizia nelle loro mutevoli forme.

Un libro particolare. Nato in una situazione particolare. Una donna palestinese, colta, intelligente e spiritosa, tiene un "diario di guerra". Gli israeliani sparano ma, nella forzata reclusione fra le pareti domestiche, "spara" anche la madre del marito, una suocera proverbiale. Pubblicato in maggio in Israele, il libro è un documento che, in forza della sua freschezza, è schierato senza rinunciare al dialogo. Suad Amiry è un architetto palestinese, fondatrice e direttrice del Riwaq Center for Architectural Conservation a Ramallah.

Comica amatissima, nonché regista, donna di teatro e amante della lirica, Simona Marchini si racconta per la prima volta in questa autobiografia che ha l’andatura di un monologo intenso e disincantato, recitato al lettore come una sorta di pièce teatrale inedita e risolutiva. Con lo stile dolceamaro e ironico cui ci ha abituato, Simona Marchini ripercorre in queste pagine le tappe di una vita fuori dagli schemi.

I will state that though listed as a memoir, this is for the most part a fiction book subject (epilepsy Zen). They say that Yin Zen questioning is talking to your higher consciousness; epilepsy Zen meditation is contemplating your navel or lower than your tanzen - doorway to the hara and hearing the giant ocean roar from within a fragile seashell and learning the Yang illuminating answer.

Reginald Dwight, su verdadero nombre, fue un chico tímido con gafas a lo Buddy Holly que creció en Pinner, un pequeño municipio a las afueras de Londres, y soñaba en convertirse en una estrella del pop. Con solo veintitrés años dio su primer concierto en Estados Unidos, ante un público sorprendido por su insólito aspecto: un mono amarillo chillón, una camiseta estampada de estrellas y un par de botas aladas. Elton John había llegado y el mundo de la música jamás volvería a ser el mismo.

È stato il bandito Cavallero, Enrico Mattei, l’anarchico Bartolomeo Vanzetti e Lucky Luciano, Aldo Moro e Teofilatto dei Leonzi dell’"Armata Brancaleone", El Indio di "Per qualche dollaro in più" e l’operaio Lulù Massa: Gian Maria Volonté ha costruito il film della sua vita attraverso grandi collaborazioni e incredibili rifiuti, spesso al fianco di donne straordinarie. Un viaggio lungo poco più di sessant’anni, cominciato durante il ventennio fascista, a Torino, e chiuso all’alba del primo governo Berlusconi. Ma chi era davvero Gian Maria Volonté?

Many in this day and age have heard of the Church of Scientology, but are unaware of the true scope of its reach, and the depth of its grip in our society’s structure.
