Ser MUJER en un mundo de hombres
Cuando comencé a escribir este libro, solo pretendía contar la historia de una muchacha que nació en medio de adversidades y llegó a ser la primera mujer presidenta de un banco internacional de servicios múltiples en la industria financiera de su país. Al repasar los recuerdos, sin embargo, fui descubriendo un patrón de comportamiento que quizás pueda servir a los demás. Si así fuera, me sentiría feliz porque, como dice el proverbio budista: "Si enciendes una lámpara para otro, iluminarás tu propio camino".
Linda Valette (Author), Rebeca Badia (Narrator)

Separated @ Birth: A True Love Story of Twin Sisters Reunited
It all began when design student Anaïs Bordier viewed a YouTube video and saw her own face staring back. After some research, Anaïs found that the Los Angeles actress Samantha Futerman was born in a South Korean port city called Busan on November 19, 1987—the exact same location and day that Anaïs was born. This propelled her to make contact—via Facebook. One message later, both girls wondered: Could they be twins? Thus begins their remarkable journey to build a relationship as sisters, continents apart. Over Facebook, Twitter, and Skype, they learned that they shared much more than a strikingly similar appearance. Eventually, they traveled to Korea together to discover more about the land of their separation. Separated @ Birth is a story that spans the world and peels back some of the complex and emotional layers of foreign adoption.

Sense of Wonder: My Life in Comic Fandom--The Whole Story
A fascinating story of growing up as a gay fan of comic books in the 1960s, building a fifty-year career as an award-winning writer, and interacting with acclaimed comic book legends Award-winning writer Bill Schelly relates how comics and fandom saved his life in this engrossing story that begins in the burgeoning comic fandom movement of the 1960s and follows the twists and turns of a career that spanned fifty years.

Leggere l'esordio di un classico è come assistere a un fenomeno naturale. In fondo, scrisse Calvino per tutti, il primo libro è il solo che conta, e forse bisognerebbe scrivere quello e basta. 'Sei stato felice, Giovanni' è il grande strappo che Arpino diede alla sua vita. L'occasione fatale di esprimersi. Il nodo da sciogliere per sempre o mai più. Aveva ventitré anni e alloggiava in una pensioncina di Genova, lurida e malfamata. Ci mise venti giorni. Venti giorni per inventare una voce. E un paesaggio. Per dire addio agli amici, alla giovinezza, agli amori impossibili, alle tante allegrie e disperazioni di ogni età precaria. Per gettarsi alle spalle gli Hemingway e gli Steinbeck, Vittorini e Pavese, il cinema francese. E il lungo intervallo della guerra. Il primo libro di Arpino è un libro di congedi. Una storia da ultima sbronza, in attesa dell'età adulta e del porco avvenire. L'avventura di chi portava la solitudine come un berretto e si sentiva un proiettile disperso, un reduce, anche se non ricordava più da cosa. Il suo protagonista sa che deve muoversi, cercare un lavoro. Ma intanto si ubriaca, litiga, si innamora, contrae debiti e sfortune. È pigro, crudele e prodigo. E non può che abitare un porto, averne l'odore, appartenere a un'umanità di marinai, di prostitute, di vagabondi. Un porto che si chiama Genova, con quell'aria svelta e sottile di mare, ma che potrebbe essere Buenos Aires o avere qualsiasi altro nome. Perché 'Sei stato felice, Giovanni' è un libro che parla con parole vere, prepotenti e insostituibili ai nostri tempi. A chi è giovane, a chi lo è stato, a chi sta per partire, a chi ritorna
Giovanni Arpino (Author), Luciano Roffi (Narrator)

See a Little Light: The Trail of Rage and Melody
The long-awaited, full-force autobiography of American punk music hero, Bob Mould Bob Mould stormed into America's punk rock scene in 1979, when clubs across the country were filling with kids dressed in black leather and torn denim, packing in to see bands like the Ramones, Black Flag, and the Dead Kennedys. Hardcore punk was a riot of jackhammer rhythms, blistering tempos, and bottomless aggression. And at its center, a new band out of Minnesota called Hüsker Dü was bashing out songs and touring the country on no money, driven by the inspiration of guitarist and vocalist Bob Mould. Their music roused a generation. From the start, Mould wanted to make Hüsker Dü the greatest band in the world - faster and louder than the hardcore standard, but with melody and emotional depth. In SEE A LITTLE LIGHT, Mould finally tells the story of how the anger and passion of the early hardcore scene blended with his own formidable musicianship and irrepressible drive to produce some of the most important and influential music of the late 20th century. For the first time, Mould tells his dramatic story, opening up to describe life inside that furnace and beyond. Revealing the struggles with his own homosexuality, the complexities of his intimate relationships, as well as his own drug and alcohol addiction, Mould takes us on a whirlwind ride through achieving sobriety, his acclaimed solo career, creating the hit band Sugar, a surprising detour into the world of pro wrestling, and most of all, finally finding his place in the world. A classic story of individualism and persistence, Mould's autobiography is an open account of the rich history of one of the most revered figures of punk, whose driving force altered the shape of American music.

Secrets of the Flesh: A Life of Colette
A scandalously talented stage performer, a practiced seductress of both men and women, and the flamboyant author of some of the greatest works of twentieth-century literature, Colette was our first true superstar. Now, in Judith Thurman's Secrets of the Flesh, Colette at last has a biography worthy of her dazzling reputation. Having spent her childhood in the shadow of an overpowering mother, Colette escaped at age twenty into a turbulent marriage with the sexy, unscrupulous Willy--a literary charlatan who took credit for her bestselling Claudine novels. Weary of Willy's sexual domination, Colette pursued an extremely public lesbian love affair with a niece of Napoleon's. At forty, she gave birth to a daughter who bored her, at forty-seven she seduced her teenage stepson, and in her seventies she flirted with the Nazi occupiers of Paris, even though her beloved third husband, a Jew, had been arrested by the Gestapo. And all the while, this incomparable woman poured forth a torrent of masterpieces, including Gigi, Sido, Cheri, and Break of Day. Judith Thurman, author of the National Book Award-winning biography of Isak Dinesen, portrays Colette as a thoroughly modern woman: frank in her desires, fierce in her passions, forever reinventing herself. Rich with delicious gossip and intimate revelations, shimmering with grace and intelligence, Secrets of the Flesh is one of the great biographies of our time.
