In 2022, in response to the killing of Mahsa Jina Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman who died in police custody after being arrested for not wearing her hijab, thousands of Iranians – mostly women – took to the streets in protest.

Alessandro Bozzo è un giornalista calabrese alla soglia dei quarant’anni. Un bivio della vita al quale arriva con un carico di minacce da parte della ’ndrangheta, un lavoro sempre più in bilico e un matrimonio che sta per fallire.

Raised by ruggedly independent, scientifically minded parents – entomologist father, dietician mother – Atwood spent most of each year in the wild forest of northern Quebec. This childhood was unfettered and nomadic, sometimes isolated (on her eighth birthday: 'It sounds forlorn. It was forlorn. It gets more forlorn.’), but also thrilling and beautiful. From this unconventional start, Atwood unfolds the story of her life, linking seminal moments to the books that have shaped our literary landscape.

During her career in sports broadcasting, Guerrero covered Super Bowls, Worlds Series, NBA Finals, and interviewed sports superstars. From the outside it seemed glamourous, but often she was miserable, told to smile more, argue less, and show a lot of leg and cleavage. Colleagues would joke—sometimes on national TV—that she clinched big interviews because of sexual acts rather than talent. She made a mistake on air during the opening game on Monday Night Football that cost her her sportscasting career... and almost her life.

Jeffrey Joseph Juliana, nee Geoffrey Giuliano, nee Jaganntha Dasa, is a man of many faces and adventures. A plumber's son from Western, New York, now in his mid-sixties, this transient soul has experienced a wide swath of poverty, riches, fame, anonymity, hedonism and piety.

Pendant presque 25 ans, la journaliste Isabelle Richer a suivi les procès les plus marquants et les plus significatifs à titre de correspondante au palais de justice de Montréal. Couvrir ainsi la scène judiciaire, c’est côtoyer le pire de la nature humaine, rappelle-t-elle. C’est plonger au cœur de la violence, la détresse, la folie et la douleur.

Whit Fraser delivers a smart, touching and astute living history of five decades that transformed the North, a span he witnessed first as a longtime CBC reporter and then through his friendships and his work with Dene and Inuit activists and leaders. Whit had a front-row seat at the MacKenzie Valley Pipeline inquiry, the constitutional conferences and the land-claims negotiations that successfully reshaped the North. His vivid portraits of groundbreakers bring home their truly historic achievements, but they also give us a privileged glimpse of who they are, and who Whit Fraser is.

Vivimos un tiempo de profunda crisis de la credibilidad. En el malestar y la inestabilidad de nuestras sociedades late una gran desconfianza hacia las instituciones, los intelectuales, los decisores o los líderes de opinión. La prensa tradicional, sacudida por el intenso cambio tecnológico y la desintermediación en la producción de noticias, sufre también la sospecha del público, no siempre de forma injustificada.

His autobiography encompasses a personal story openly told; an inside look at New York's innermost intellectual circles; strong and intimate revelations of many of the most important writers of the century; and brilliantly astute observations of the literary accomplishments, atmosphere, and fads of the 1940s, 50s, and 60s in the context of America's shifting political gales.

Una biografía intelectual no es la biografía de la vida privada. Es la historia de una formación en la que intervienen muchos factores, muchas presencias y escenarios: escuelas, experiencias, viajes y, sobre todo, lecturas. La vida intelectual sigue la trayectoria de las ideas en el tiempo, de ideas encarnadas en una persona y, fundamentalmente, en el diálogo que ha mantenido con figuras tutelares, maestros, colegas, amigos. Así se hilvana una biografía intelectual: conversando con abuelos, mentores, compañeros de tantas batallas, autores admirados.

Savage Journey is a "supremely crafted" study of Hunter S. Thompson's literary formation and achievement. Focusing on Thompson's influences, development, and unique model of authorship, Savage Journey argues that his literary formation was largely a San Francisco story. During the 1960s, Thompson rode with the Hell's Angels, explored the San Francisco counterculture, and met talented editors who shared his dissatisfaction with mainstream journalism. Author Peter Richardson traces Thompson's transition during this time from New Journalist to cofounder of Gonzo journalism.
