Im Frühsommer 1940 trieb die Wehrmacht Flüchtlinge durch Westeuropa. Wer es nicht nach England schaffte, suchte Zuflucht in Lissabon: Tausende warteten im neutralen Portugal auf ein Schiff.

Il flusso della memoria si dispiega ininterrotto in una serie di quadri scolpiti con l'inconfondibile stile di Nori, tra flusso di coscienza e humour, in questa edizione completamente rivista e aggiornata.

Non c'è una trama lineare, ma un mosaico emotivo che segue il ritmo dell'inevitabile cambiamento. Questo audiolibro esplora una domanda essenziale: può l'Altro colmare il vuoto interiore o è necessario riconoscersi protagonisti della propria vita?

In 1816, when eighteen-year old Mary Godwin began writing Frankenstein, the idea that a woman could dream up such a tale was as far-fetched as raising a being from the dead. But Mary wasn't just any woman. The daughter of two notorious radicals, Mary had become an outcast from English society when she was only sixteen. A lifelong advocate for the rights of women, she refused to be governed by social conventions, running away with a married man, having children out of wedlock, and authoring books, stories, and essays that broke literary conventions.

Elizabeth Bishop has been described as the "best-loved" poet in English of the second half of the twentieth century. This Very Short Introduction explores the ninety or so published poems that are at the core of her remarkable canon of verse. Drawing on biographical and critical material, Jonathan Post also makes frequent use of Bishop's letters and commentary by fellow poets.

After the horrors of the First World War, Oxford looked like an Arcadia - a dreamworld - from which pain could be shut out. Soldiers arrived with pictures of the university fully formed in their heads and women finally won the right to earn degrees. Freedom meant reading beneath the spires and punting down the river with champagne picnics. But all was not quite as it seemed. Boys fresh from school settled into lecture rooms alongside men who had returned from the trenches with the beginnings of shellshock.
