The pampered daughter of a wealthy Georgian plantation owner of Irish descent, sixteen-year-old Scarlett O'Hara soon realizes that young men can't resist her charms, despite her forthright manners and her refusal to embrace her mother's ladylike ways. Her romantic intrigues lead her to an early marriage, but when the war between the Union and the Southern States breaks out and she is left a young widow, Scarlett's life is turned upside down, and she finds herself embroiled, together with the world surrounding her, in a long struggle for survival. Both a coming-of-age tale and a historical epic, Gone with the Wind is regarded as one of the great American novels, and is perhaps one of the most popular stories in the Western canon.Famously inspiring the iconic 1939 Oscar-winning film starring Vivien Leigh as Scarlett and Clark Gable as the rakish but cynical Rhett Butler, it is Margaret Mitchell's only published novel, and a living testament to the irrepressible resilience of the American spirit.

Nella piazza principale di Lizzanello, dove vivono poche migliaia di anime, si ferma un autobus da cui scende una coppia, Carlo e Anna.

Anna e quella diversa, e la forestiera che non si adatta alle regole che imprigionano le donne del Sud: non va in chiesa, dice sempre quello che pensa ed e determinata a vivere la sua vita senza condizionamenti. Trascorso un anno dal suo arrivo, Anna fa qualcosa di impensabile ed estremamente rivoluzionario: si iscrive al concorso per entrare alle Poste. Una postina donna non si e mai vista in paese, ma Anna sorprende tutti, vince il concorso e inizia a lavorare come portalettere. La notizia stravolge Lizzanello e fa storcere il naso a tutti quei pettegoli, uomini e donne, che dicono che Anna non durera. Anna lavorera invece per ventanni consegnando lettere, cartoline e messaggi.

A fare da sfondo alle vicende della famiglia Greco e di Anna, gli eventi drammatici della Seconda Guerra Mondiale e i movimenti femministi.

65 Jahre in der Schublade - heute ein Bestseller'Der Uberlaufer' ist Siegfried Lenz' zweiter Roman, geschrieben 1951. Obgleich vollendet und vom Autor mehrfach uberarbeitet, blieb er bis 2016 unveroffentlicht. Zur Zeit seiner Entstehung wurde er vom Verlag aus politischen Grunden abgelehnt. Ein Uberlaufer zu den Sowjets als Romanheld war im Kalten Krieg nicht opportun. Eine groartige Entdeckung, ein beeindruckender Roman uber den ewigen Konflikt zwischen Pflicht und Gewissen.

È uneta sperimentale. Ho la strana sensazione che nessuno e stato vecchio prima di me. La vecchiaia di chi mi ha preceduto non mi fa da modello e non mi prepara a niente. Per il corpo di ognuno, quando succede e per la prima volta. Nessuna generazione prima di questa ha raggiunto la vecchiaia in cosi numerosa formazione e in uno stato cosi attivo, e questo scrive Erri De Luca la rende oggi uneta sperimentale. Unoccasione, dunque, la possibilita di scoprire qualcosa di nuovo di se e degli altri, di allenare il corpo e la mente con maggiore consapevolezza e forse con piu gusto. Non invece il momento, come pensano in molti, di guardare soltanto indietro. A che somiglia questeta? si chiede De Luca. Alla risalita di un bosco di montagna. Nel fitto delle conifere entra poca luce, vedo giusto quello che mi sta stretto intorno, ma verso lalto si diradano, si aprono radure, ce piu luce. In questa eta da cima del bosco vedo lontano, scorci di futuro, non il mio, quello senza di me. Il poeta Goethe morente pronuncia le sue ultime parole: Mehr Licht, piu luce. Non e una richiesta, e la sorpresa di vederla splendere. Oggi vedo una gioventu che sente il proprio futuro tuttuno con quello della Terra intera. Guarda lontano, avvista lavvenire. Anche io, anche i nuovi vecchi vedono piu lontano, in cima al loro bosco. Grazie anche al contrappunto di Ines de la Fressange, celebre stilista e amica dellautore, Leta sperimentale e un libro e al tempo stesso unoccasione, per scoprire quante possibilita racchiude la terza eta ciascuno trovi la propria, e De Luca ne cita molte , e tutto il vantaggio di aver guadagnato lo slancio del tempo accumulato, potente catapulta del participio passato del verbo passare.
