THE TIKTOK SENSATION 'Riveting, heart-wrenching and full of Old Hollywood glamour' BuzzFeed'This wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet and her tumultuous Tinseltown journey comes with unexpected twists and the most satisfying of drama' PopSugarFrom the author of Daisy Jones & The Six in which a legendary film actress reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the risks she took, the loves she lost, and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine. Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself.Why her? Why now? Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.Summoned to Evelyn's luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the '80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn's story near its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique's own in tragic and irreversible ways.The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a mesmerizing journey through the splendour of old Hollywood into the harsh realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it means and what it costs to face the truth.

Libro vincitore del Premio Strega 2025 Libro vincitore del Premio Strega Giovani 2025Lanniversario e prima di tutto un romanzo di liberazione, che scardina e smaschera il totalitarismo della famiglia. Ci ferisce con la sua onesta, ci disarma con il suo candore, ci mette a nudo con la sua verita. È lo schiaffo ricevuto appena nati: grazie a quel dolore respiriamo.Dieci anni fa, quel giorno, ho visto i miei genitori per lultima volta. Da allora ho cambiato numero di telefono, casa, continente, ho tirato su un muro inespugnabile, ho messo un oceano di mezzo. Sono stati i dieci anni migliori della mia vita. Si possono abbandonare il proprio padre e la propria madre? Si puo sbattere la porta, scendere le scale e decidere che non li si vedra piu? Mettere in discussione lorigine, sfuggire alla sua stretta? Dopo dieci anni sottratti al logoramento di una violenza sottile e pervasiva tra le mura di casa, finalmente un figlio puo voltarsi e narrare la sua disgraziata famiglia e il tabu di questa censura con la forza brutale del romanzo. E celebrare cosi un lacerante anniversario: senza accusare e senza salvare, con una voce scandalosamente calma, come scrive Emmanuel Carrere a rimarcarne la potenza implacabile. Il racconto che ne deriva e il ritratto struggente e lucidissimo di una donna a perdere, che ha rinunciato a tutto pur di essere qualcosa agli occhi del marito, mentre lui tiene lei e i figli dentro un regime in cui possesso e richiesta damore sono i lacci di un unico nodo. Lisolamento stagno a cui li costringe viene infranto a tratti dagli squilli di un apparecchio telefonico mal tollerato, da qualche sporadico compagno di scuola, da unamica della madre che viene presto bandita. In questo microcosmo concentrazionario, a poco a poco si innesta nel figlio, e nei lettori, un desiderio insopprimibile di rinascita essere se stessi, vivere la propria vita, aprirsi agli altri senza il terrore delle ritorsioni. Con la certezza che, per mettersi in salvo, da li niente puo essere salvato.Proposto da Emanuele Trevi al Premio Strega 2025 con la seguente motivazione:È una storia eccezionale, quella di Bajani, che infrange un vero e proprio tabu: nelle prime pagine del libro incontriamo il protagonista che ci racconta dellultima volta che ha visto i suoi genitori, prima di voltare le spalle per sempre alla sua famiglia, disgregata dalla violenza del padre-padrone e dalla muta, disperata sottomissione della madre. Per delineare unimmagine credibile di questo inferno domestico e della fuga senza ritorno del protagonista, il narratore ricorre alle risorse del romanzo per mettere ordine nei dati dellesperienza, spiccando quel salto mortale capace di condurlo dallinformita del reale alla consistenza e alla leggibilita del vero. Ed e solo cosi che una vicenda singola si trasforma in uno specchio in cui tutti i lettori possono intravedere qualcosa che non conoscevano direttamente, eppure li riguarda. Lanniversario e un romanzo avvincente e originalissimo, che colpisce chi legge come un pugno nella testa e nella pancia. Bajani non sente il bisogno ne di condannare, ne di perdonare, e ci racconta quanto sia impervia e necessaria la via del riscatto.

A publishing event ten years in the makinga searing, exquisite new novel by the best-selling and award-winning author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feministsthe story of four women and their loves, longings, and desires.Chiamaka is a Nigerian travel writer living in America. Alone in the midst of the pandemic, she recalls her past lovers and grapples with her choices and regrets. Zikora, her best friend, is a lawyer who has been successful at everything until betrayed and brokenhearted she must turn to the person she thought she needed least. Omelogor, Chiamakas bold, outspoken cousin, is a financial powerhouse in Nigeria who begins to question how well she knows herself. And Kadiatou, Chiamakas housekeeper, is proudly raising her daughter in America but faces an unthinkable hardship that threatens all she has worked to achieve.In Dream Count, Adichie trains her fierce eye on these women in a sparkling, transcendent novel that takes up the very nature of love itself. Is true happiness ever attainable or is it just a fleeting state? And how honest must we be with ourselves in order to love, and to be loved? A trenchant reflection on the choices we make and those made for us, on daughters and mothers, on our interconnected world, Dream Count pulses with emotional urgency and poignant, unflinching observations on the human heart, in language that soars with beauty and power. It confirms Adichies status as one of the most exciting and dynamic writers on the literary landscape.

The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn...The Picture of Dorian Gray is a philosophical novel by the writer Oscar Wilde, first published complete in the July 1890 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine.Dorian Gray is the subject of a full-length portrait in oil by Basil Hallward, an artist who is impressed and infatuated by Dorian's beauty; he believes that Dorians beauty is responsible for the new mode in his art as a painter. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, and he soon is enthralled by the aristocrat's hedonistic worldview: that beauty and sensual fulfilment are the only things worth pursuing in life. Newly understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade. The wish is granted, and Dorian pursues a libertine life of varied and amoral experiences; all the while his portrait ages and records every soul-corrupting sin.

The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn...The Picture of Dorian Gray is a philosophical novel by the writer Oscar Wilde, first published complete in the July 1890 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine.Dorian Gray is the subject of a full-length portrait in oil by Basil Hallward, an artist who is impressed and infatuated by Dorian's beauty; he believes that Dorians beauty is responsible for the new mode in his art as a painter. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, and he soon is enthralled by the aristocrat's hedonistic worldview: that beauty and sensual fulfilment are the only things worth pursuing in life. Newly understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade. The wish is granted, and Dorian pursues a libertine life of varied and amoral experiences; all the while his portrait ages and records every soul-corrupting sin.
