Byron's Letters and Journals, both volumes in a single file

According to Wikipedia: "George Gordon Byron, later Noel, 6th Baron Byron FRS (1788 – 1824) was a British poet and a leading figure in Romanticism. Amongst Byron's best-known works are the brief poems When We Two Parted, She Walks in Beauty, and So, we'll go no more a roving, in addition to the narrative poems Childe Harold's Pilgrimage and Don Juan. He is regarded as one of the greatest European poets and remains widely read and influential, both in the English-speaking world and beyond. Byron's fame rests not only on his writings but also on his life, which featured extravagant living, numerous love affairs, debts, separation, and marital exploits. He was famously described by Lady Caroline Lamb as "mad, bad, and dangerous to know". Byron served as a regional leader of Italy's revolutionary organization, the Carbonari, in its struggle against Austria. He later traveled to fight against the Ottoman Empire in the Greek War of Independence, for which Greeks revere him as a national hero.[2] He died from a fever in Messolonghi in Greece."

Daisy Jones & The Six

Daisy Jones & The Six

Uno straordinario bestseller internazionale che ora è anche un'attesissima serie tv. Essere la musa di qualcuno non mi interessava. Io non sono una musa. Io sono quel qualcuno. Fine della storia. Daisy Jones & The Six: un gruppo rock diventato leggenda. I loro concerti hanno riempito gli stadi di tutto il mondo, le loro canzoni hanno infiammato le notti di un'intera generazione. Il loro mito è la favola di un'ascesa folgorante, dalle prime esibizioni nei locali underground al successo planetario. È l'incarnazione stessa di un'epoca in cui sesso, droga e rock'n'roll sembravano inscindibili. È la sintesi di un'alchimia perfetta: quel magnetismo unico tra Billy Dunne - il frontman della band, carismatico e tormentato - e Daisy Jones, splendida cover girl e cantautrice dal talento naturale, spirito libero e inafferrabile. Eppure, il 12 luglio 1979, dopo un concerto memorabile, il gruppo è scoppiato, sciogliendosi per sempre. Nessuno ha mai saputo perché... Fino a oggi. Ex musicisti e manager, giornalisti e famigliari: sono stati tutti testimoni, e adesso, a quarant'anni di distanza, sono finalmente pronti a raccontare la verità. Ma ognuno ha la propria versione dei fatti. Quella che rivive nelle loro voci è una storia di ragazzi di vent'anni, amici e amanti, fratelli e rivali; idoli sul palco, anime fragili a riflettori spenti. Una storia di notti folli e albe smarrite, sogni troppo grandi da afferrare e demoni troppo forti da annientare, passioni che accendono il sangue nelle vene e stelle che brillano fino a incendiare il cielo. Perché una canzone non è mai soltanto una semplice canzone. C'è la vita, nella musica. Ed è impossibile dire dove finisca l'una e inizi l'altra.

The Testaments

The Testaments

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE • A modern masterpiece that "reminds us of the power of truth in the face of evil” (People)—and can be read on its own or as a sequel to Margaret Atwood’s classic, The Handmaid’s Tale.  “Atwood’s powers are on full display” (Los Angeles Times) in this deeply compelling Booker Prize-winning novel, now updated with additional content that explores the historical sources, ideas, and material that inspired Atwood.  More than fifteen years after the events of The Handmaid's Tale, the theocratic regime of the Republic of Gilead maintains its grip on power, but there are signs it is beginning to rot from within. At this crucial moment, the lives of three radically different women converge, with potentially explosive results. Two have grown up as part of the first generation to come of age in the new order. The testimonies of these two young women are joined by a third: Aunt Lydia.  Her complex past and uncertain future unfold in surprising and pivotal ways. With The Testaments, Margaret Atwood opens up the innermost workings of Gilead, as each woman is forced to come to terms with who she is, and how far she will go for what she believes.

Malibu Rising

Malibu Rising

- Dall'autrice del bestseller I SETTE MARITI DI HEVELYN HUGO -Malibù, 27 agosto 1983. La città è in fermento: questa sera, come ogni anno, Nina Riva darà la grande festa di fine estate a cui tutti sognano di partecipare. Che si tratti di gente dello showbiz o di persone comuni, chiunque non sta nella pelle all'idea di farsi vedere accanto ai famosi fratelli Riva, figli del leggendario cantante Mick: Nina, la top model; Jay, il campione di surf; Hud, il celebre fotografo; Kit, l'adorata sorella più piccola.Chiunque, tranne la stessa Nina, che ha sempre odiato stare al centro dell'attenzione, e a maggior ragione ora che è appena stata lasciata dal marito, noto tennista. E forse anche Hud si risparmierebbe volentieri quella festa, durante la quale sarà costretto a rivelare al fratello - cui è legatissimo sin dalla nascita - qualcosa di inconfessabile. Mentre Kit ha deciso di invitare una certa persona senza prima consultarsi con nessuno.Abbandonati a sé stessi in tenera età, i quattro sono sempre stati inseparabili, un padre e una madre l'uno per l'altra. E un modello di successo per tutta l'America. Eppure, dietro quella facciata scintillante e quei sorrisi da copertina, ognuno di loro nasconde qualcosa. Segreti che stanotte verranno a galla, mentre l'alcol scorrerà a fiumi e la musica coprirà parole, lacrime, risate. Ed entro l'alba, quando ormai la villa a picco sull'oceano sarà in fiamme, ognuno dovrà anche decidere cosa del proprio passato lasciare andare in cenere e cosa portare con sé in una nuova vita.Finalmente in Italia uno dei romanzi più attesi di Taylor Jenkins Reid, Malibu Rising: in classifica per mesi sul New York Times, amatissimo dal BookTok, tradotto in 30 lingue, diventerà anche una serie tv.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Part 5.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Part 5.

On Sunday morning, Tom struggles to learn his Sunday school lesson with the help of his cousin Mary, who offers him a present if he can learn the lesson. Tom applies himself and soon has it mastered. On the way to church, Tom swaps items (his wealth from whitewashing) for tickets indicating how many verses in the Bible he has memorized. Tom has collected (bought off) so many tickets that it would appear that he has committed around 2,000 verses to memory--a feat no student has ever accomplished. In Sunday school class, Tom claims the award of a Bible for "knowing" so many verses. Tom is then introduced to Judge Thatcher, who asks him the name of the first two apostles, and Tom blurts out "David and Goliath!"

33 Human Science Masterpieces You Must Read Before You Die. Illustrated

33 Human Science Masterpieces You Must Read Before You Die. Illustrated

We live in an era rife with cultural conflict. The 21st century is by no means free of wars, terrorism, riots, famine, nor epidemics. We may attempt to solve the challenges of our times by uniting the humanistic disciplines of philosophy, science, and technology. Our modern reality requires a fundamental understanding of the problems beleaguering our existence. Science and literature are key tools for gaining this insight. The wisdom accumulated throughout the centuries by scientists, philosophers, and writers is a solid foundation on which modern man can build the future. Our ability to learn from those who have come before is precisely what led Protagoras to declare that "Man is the measure of all things." The 33 works in this book possess foundational importance and continue to influence our modern world. The reader of these texts is well-positioned to understand causes and plot new paths away from the problems that plague us. Contents:Edwin A. Abbott. Flatland: A Romance of Many DimensionsAristotle.

I sette mariti di Evelyn Hugo

I sette mariti di Evelyn Hugo

Dopo anni vissuti lontano dai riflettori, la ex "divina" di Hollywood Evelyn Hugo, autentica icona della storia del cinema, è finalmente pronta a svelare la sua verità. E anche quella sui suoi sette mariti, naturalmente. Per farlo, sceglie Monique Grant, una reporter semisconosciuta. La più stupefatta è proprio Monique: perché proprio lei? E perché proprio adesso?Si dà il caso che per la giornalista non sia proprio un gran momento: dopo pochi mesi dalle nozze il marito l'ha lasciata, e a trentacinque anni la sua vita professionale sembra già arrivata a un punto morto. L'incarico di scrivere la biografia di Evelyn Hugo potrebbe essere l'occasione che aspettava per dare una svolta alla sua carriera.E così, nello splendido appartamento di Manhattan dell'attrice, Monique ascolta affascinata le parole di Evelyn: dagli esordi nella Los Angeles degli anni Cinquanta fino alla decisione di ritirarsi dalle scene trent'anni dopo, passando per i numerosi matrimoni, l'attrice rivela una storia di feroce ambizione, amicizia inattesa, e un grande amore proibito. Monique si sente sempre più vicina alla leggendaria star: a mano a mano che il racconto di Evelyn si avvicina alla conclusione, appare chiaro che le loro vite sono legate in modo drammatico e ineludibile.
