È il 1959 e una giovane studiosa italiana arriva a New York. Alle spalle, le letture della sua infanzia e della sua adolescenza. «Piccole donne», letto e riletto, fino all’irrompere di «Moby Dick», con quell’incipit che le aveva rivelato la diversità e l’anomalia di un’altra letteratura. Ha il compito di scrivere un libro sulla nuova narrativa americana. Non conosce nessuno, o quasi, ma non le mancano intraprendenza e un’inesauribile curiosità, la sua musa. Nei riti sociali, o nell’intimità delle loro case, in pochi mesi incontra Mailer, Ellison, Baldwin, Edmund Wilson, l’appartata Carson McCullers, Lowell, Bellow e nuovi talenti come il giovane Philip Roth e l’imprevedibile Grace Paley. Stringe legami destinati a durare. Scopre che l’arte dell’intervista letteraria s’impara sul campo, che è insieme emozione e disciplina, canto e controcanto, sigillo al giudizio critico già formulato. In una New York in continua metamorfosi, la giovane studiosa vede emergere una città sotterranea fino allora ignorata dai più: nell’aria turbinano le parole di una nuova lingua che mira a nominare l’innominabile. «Urlo» di Allen Ginsberg, recitato in pubblico da una costa all’altra, ha sprigionato le immagini di un’America notturna, terra incognita carica di promesse. Negli anni, dopo l’esplosione dei beats, vedrà disgregarsi quei miti comunitari che avevano assegnato al romanzo e alla poesia il compito di scandagliare il ruolo e il destino della donna e dell’uomo contemporanei. E negli incontri con gli scrittori sperimentali degli anni settanta, da James Purdy a Donald Barthelme, continuerà l’indagine sulle mutazioni della lingua letteraria, chiamata a confrontarsi con il potere dei media. In questa estrema testimonianza, appassionante come una narrazione di eventi, di voci, di personaggi, Marisa Bulgheroni racconta mezzo secolo di vita americana: non solo la letteratura, ma i cambiamenti della società, della politica, del costume, sullo sfondo dei volubili palcoscenici di New York. «La mia America non era solo geografi a e storia, cronaca e registrazione della contemporaneità, ma presentava margini da riempire, ampie. zone d’ombra da illuminare con parole che forse non avrei saputo trovare. È questo stare tra presente e passato dell’America che ancora avvince la ragazza partita sul Queen Elizabeth e mai veramente ritornata...»

On approaching, she turned out to be a small, slatternly-looking craft, her hull and spars a dingy black, rigging all slack and bleached nearly white, and everything denoting an ill state of affairs aboard. The four boats hanging from her sides proclaimed her a whaler. Leaning carelessly over the bulwarks were the sailors, wild, haggard-looking fellows in Scotch caps and faded blue frocks; some of them with cheeks of a mottled bronze, to which sickness soon changes the rich berry-brown of a seaman’s complexion in the tropics...FROME THE BOOKS.

Darra is an omen of unluck: a thirteenth child. To appease the dark god, Dond, and bring good fortune to her small island community, Darra must be sacrificed at the age of thirteen - by drowning. On the eve of her final birthday, Darra begins to dream of the twin brother she has watched from afar but never met, and dares to hope that she might escape her fate . . . The scouring wind and remorseless waves which beat against Darra's island world are matched in Pam Smy's powerful, wild and emotive illustrations. The Ransom of Dond is our final story from Siobhan, and a book to be treasured.

In this book Umberto Eco argues that translation is not about comparing two languages, but about the interpretation of a text in two different languages, thus involving a shift between cultures. An author whose works have appeared in many languages, Eco is also the translator of Gérard de Nerval's Sylvie and Raymond Queneau's Exercices de style from French into Italian. In Experiences in Translation he draws on his substantial practical experience to identify and discuss some central problems of translation. As he convincingly demonstrates, a translation can express an evident deep sense of a text even when violating both lexical and referential faithfulness. Depicting translation as a semiotic task, he uses a wide range of source materials as illustration: the translations of his own and other novels, translations of the dialogue of American films into Italian, and various versions of the Bible. In the second part of his study he deals with translation theories proposed by Jakobson, Steiner, Peirce, and others. Overall, Eco identifies the different types of interpretive acts that count as translation. An enticing new typology emerges, based on his insistence on a common-sense approach and the necessity of taking a critical stance.

Jeremiah N. Reynolds (1799-1858), an American newspaper editor, lecturer, explorer and author who became an influential advocate for scientific expeditions. Reynolds gathered first-hand observations of Mocha Dick, an albino sperm whale off Chile who bedeviled a generation of whalers for thirty years before succumbing to one. Mocha Dick survived many skirmishes (by some accounts at least 100) with whalers before he was eventually killed. In May 1839, The Knickerbocker, or New-York Monthly Magazine published Reynolds' "Mocha Dick: Or the White Whale of the Pacific," the inspiration for Herman Melville's 1851 novel Moby-Dick. In Reynolds' account, Mocha Dick was killed in 1838, after he appeared to come to the aid of a distraught cow whose calf had just been slain by the whalers. His body was 70 feet long and yielded 100 barrels of oil, along with some ambergris. He also had several harpoons in his body.

Miguel Delibes Love Letters from a Voluptuous Sexagenarian Translated by Teresa Boucher Miguel Delibes (1920-2010) was born and died in Valladolid, Spain. He was a novelist, journalist, newspaper editor, professor, and father of seven. He won virtually every literary prize awarded in Spain from the Nadal Prize for his first novel in 1948 to the Cervantes Prize in 1993 to the National Prize for Narrative for his last novel in 1999. In 1973 he was elected to the Royal Spanish Academy. He delivered his inaugural address in 1975, his wife having died in the interim. Delibes is the author of twenty novels and numerous collections of short stories and essays. Nine of his novels have been adapted to film, one to theater, and one to television. To date, eleven of his works have been translated into English. Love Letter from a Voluptuous Sexagenarian is the first English translation of Cartas de amor de un sexagenario voluptuoso, originally published in 1983. This novel has already been translated into Bosnian, Hebrew, Japanese and Russian--but only now into English. In Love Letters from a Voluptuous Sexagenarian, our antihero, Eugenio Sanz Vecilla, a sixty-five-year-old retired Castilian newspaperman, reads a personal ad in Sentimental Correspondence while in the waiting room of a doctor's office. Thus begins a six-month exchange of letters with Roc o, a fifty-six-year-old widow from Seville whose son, Federico, is writing a graduate thesis on censorship of the press in the 1940s under Francisco Franco's dictatorship. This novel, an epistolary mono-dialogue, weaves a comic love story with an unwitting expos of the state of journalism under an authoritarian regime. *** Teresa Boucher holds the Ph.D. from Princeton University in Romance Languages and Literatures. She is professor of Spanish at Boise State University. She has published articles, book reviews, and a monograph on Miguel Delibes.
