Story
Pubblicato nell'aprile del 1950 e considerato l'opera piú bella di Pavese, "La luna e i falò" è il suo ultimo romanzo. Il protagonista, Anguilla, all'indomani della Liberazione, torna al suo paese delle Langhe dopo molti anni trascorsi in America e, in compagnia dell'amico Nuto, ripercorre i luoghi dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza in un viaggio nel tempo, alla ricerca di antiche e sofferte radici. Storia semplice e lirica insieme, costruita come un continuo viavai tra il piano del passato e quello del presente, "La luna e i falò" recupera i temi civili della guerra partigiana.

Story
Scritto nella primavera del 1940 e pubblicato nel 1949 insieme a "Il diavolo sulle colline" e "Tra donne sole", "La bella estate" è, come affermò lo stesso Pavese, la "storia di una verginità che si difende", il racconto dell'inevitabile perdita dell'innocenza. Sullo sfondo di una Torino grigia e crepuscolare, si dipana la dolorosa maturazione di un'ingenua adolescente: nell'ambiente corrotto e sregolato della bohème artistica torinese, Ginia si innamora di un giovane pittore da cui, dopo resistenze interiori e rimorsi malcelati, si lascerà sedurre.

Story
A chi non è mai successo di stare sveglio, la notte, con qualche amico, a parlare di tutto e di niente, fuori dalle osterie, dal cinema, per le vie e le strade sterrate di campagna, sotto la luna, nei silenzi dei campi coltivati e nei rumori di sottofondo della città? Nella campagna Torinese degli anni quaranta, sono tre i ragazzi protagonisti di questa storia meravigliosa. Tre amici inseparabili, che si affacciano alla vita adulta, con tutte le paure, le insicurezze, le gioie e i preconcetti che son tipici di quell'età.

Ventisette dialoghi brevi ma carichi di tensione, suadenti eppure sconfinanti nel tragico, in cui gli dèi e gli eroi della Grecia classica (da Edipo e Tiresia a Calipso e Odisseo, da Eros e Tànatos a Achille e Patroclo) sono invitati a discutere il rapporto tra uomo e natura, il carattere ineluttabile del destino, la profondità del dolore e l'irrevocabile condanna della morte.

Tra le amare baldorie paesane in Piemonte e l'oziosa vita di spiaggia in Liguria, prendono corpo, in questo romanzo pubblicato nel 1942, i temi della narrativa pavesiana: l'amicizia, le radici, le descrizioni di paesaggi indimenticabili. Doro si è sposato, ha lasciato Torino per Genova e da troppo tempo non vede un suo vecchio amico, un professore più che trentenne. Ma in un giorno d'estate, Doro ritorna.

Story
"Il carcere", pubblicato nel 1948 con "La casa in collina" sotto il titolo comune "Prima che il gallo canti", è una storia di privata solitudine. Pavese racconta in terza persona l'esperienza autobiografica della condanna al soggiorno obbligato a Brancaleone Calabro per aver cercato di proteggere la donna amata, militante del PCI. La vita al confino, l'apprendistato di un intellettuale coinvolto, quasi suo malgrado, nella politica, la scoperta di un'altra Italia da parte di un settentrionale.

Iniziato il 6 ottobre 1935 durante i giorni del confino politico, "Il mestiere di vivere" accompagna Cesare Pavese fino al 18 agosto 1950, nove giorni prima della sua morte, e diventa a poco a poco il luogo cui affidare i pensieri sul proprio mondo di scrittore e di uomo e, soprattutto, le confessioni ultime su quei drammi intimi che laceravano la sua esistenza.

Story
Corrado è un professore che ogni sera lascia una Torino buia e bombardata per rifugiarsi sulle colline circostanti. Ma quando la guerra lo raggiunge fin lì, decide di ritirarsi su altre colline, piú lontane ancora, quelle in cui è cresciuto. Lungo la strada incontra sparatorie, morti, sangue umano misto alla benzina fuoriuscita dagli autocarri. L'innocenza è perduta per sempre e il conforto non può arrivare neppure dalla terra delle origini, perché niente è più come prima.

Story
Emancipata, disillusa, intelligente, Clelia, il personaggio che dice "io", è una donna che vive orgogliosamente del proprio lavoro in una ruvida e scontrosa solitudine. Quando da Roma torna a Torino, dove era nata, per allestire, nella città ancora ingombra di macerie, un atelier di moda, si trova immersa in uno straniamento tale che le permette di vedere e giudicare l'irrequieta borghesia dell'immediato dopoguerra, gli intellettuali snob, le ragazze un po' disperate e un po' frivole, con uno sguardo piú aperto ma forse anche piú cinico.

Il libro fu pubblicato nel 1948, ed è uno sguardo retrospettivo sugli ultimi anni di guerra, visti attraverso gli occhi di Corrado, insegnante quarantenne che ha sempre vissuto "come un ragazzo che giocando a nascondersi, entra in un cespuglio, guarda il cielo da sotto le fronde e ci sta bene" e non ne esce più. Ma è lì che la guerra lo prende, per ogni giorno della sua vita. La cornice musicale è di Duke Ellington, Jeep Blues.

Story
Prima prova narrativa di Pavese, "Paesi tuoi" venne pubblicato nel 1941 e suscitò immediatamente scandali in chi osteggiava ed entusiasmi in chi sosteneva quel neorealismo di cui Pavese era considerato un campione. E se oggi "Paesi tuoi" viene ritenuto soprattutto il primo libro che sviluppa temi squisitamente pavesiani, non si può ignorare l'influenza che esso ebbe su un'intera generazione di scrittori, affascinati dalla sua carica innovativa, a partire da Italo Calvino.

Story
La lettura di Daniele Fior è un flusso di coscienza dirompente, ironico, intimo e burrascoso; un fiume inafferrabile e inarrestabile, a cui il delicato e matematico pianoforte di Alessandro Scolz fa da contrappunto. Questo romanzo non è un'allegoria (come Melville sottolineava ardentemente), quanto invece lo specchio di quello che riconosciamo come allegoria in esso; Moby Dick è così carico di vita e frutto di una così pregna esperienza reale profonda, che sono la nostra vita e i significati che le attribuiamo a trovare una corrispondenza in esso.

La vita di Ginia, una giovane apprendista sarta, cambia drasticamente con l'incontro di Amelia. È proprio quest'ultima, infatti, a introdurre Ginia nell'ambiente bohemien della Torino degli anni quaranta. La giovane entrerà quindi in contatto con tutto quel mondo di artisti perdigiorno e squattrinati che si incontrano nei caffé e vivono nelle soffitte, e ne verrà risucchiata. Conoscerà anche il pittore Guido, una figura carismatica ma controversa che segnerà un passaggio fondamentale nella vita di Ginia, ormai prossima alla fine della della sua adolescenza.

Ciau Masino è un ciclo di racconti e poesie dello scrittore Cesare Pavese scritto tra il settembre del 1931 e il febbraio del 1932 che, rimasto per lungo tempo inedito, venne pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1968 da Einaudi nel volume dei "Racconti". L'opera si articola in brevi racconti divisi, due alla volta, da una poesia che serve ad intercalare e a dare la scansione del racconto. I protagonisti delle parti narrate sono il giovane giornalista Masino e l'operaio Masin.

Le lettere sono un altro spazio in cui trovare Cesare Pavese. Insieme alle traduzioni, alle poesie, ai romanzi e ai racconti, l'epistolario di Cesare Pavese rappresenta un ulteriore specchio in cui scoprire riflessa l'immagine dell'uomo, di quella costruzione di sé che ha caratterizzato tutto il percorso intellettuale dello scrittore. Uomo e scrittore. Ancora una volta, ci poniamo di fronte a questo suo ulteriore corpus letterario vestendo i panni del lettore: è lo scrittore stesso a chiedercelo costruendo il suo epistolario come se fosse un romanzo.

Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.

King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.
