Story
In the six lectures of The Great Gatsby at 100, you will join Sheila Liming of Champlain College to revisit the context and culture of the Roaring ‘20s, which inspired the story of the mysterious Jay Gatsby and his disastrous pursuit of Daisy Buchanan. As you’ll discover, while Gatsby is framed as a love story, it’s also a story of the American experience, revealing the unspoken rules of wealth and class and the false promises of self-made success in a world of Old Money privilege.

Story
Robert Crumb is often credited with single-handedly transforming the comics medium into a place for adult expression, in the process pioneering the underground comic book industry, and transforming the vernacular language of 20th-century America into an instantly recognizable and popular aesthetic, as iconic as Walt Disney or Charles Schulz. Now, for the first time, Dan Nadel, a curator and writer specializing in comics and art, shares how this complicated artist survived childhood abuse, fame in his twenties, more fame, and came out the other side intact.

Días después, mi nombre apareció junto al suyo, pero nunca sospeché que ese vínculo sería permanente."

Confiteor è il racconto dell'uomo che sono diventato, non flusso di coscienza, ma fatti, storie. E l'attraversamento, in settant'anni di vita, di tre secoli, dal mio "Ottocento" a oggi. Piergiorgio Paterlini ci consegna un mondo, non soltanto un libro. Raccontando di sé - in una confessione sorprendente, spregiudicata, il bisbiglìo a un amico durante una lunga notte - incrocia la sua storia personale con quella di un Paese, tra amarcord e ricerca delle radici, tra romanzo di formazione e la scelta di vivere "dalla parte del torto".

Что итальянец может рассказать нам про величайшую русскую поэтессу? Анна Ахматова — та, что, как говорил Иосиф Бродский, "одним только тоном голоса или поворотом головы превращала вас в гомо сапиенс". Женщина, пережившая две мировые войны и ставшая самым популярным голосом России в тяжелые для страны времена. Она страдала, как страдают души, которые, даже сдаваясь, не сдаются. Она не переставала писать, даже когда ее стихи могли передаваться только из уст в уста. В конце жизни она смогла стать тем, кем хотела — величайшей поэтессой своего времени.
