"Ho deciso di partire. Non posso più restare qui, mi scoppia il cuore. Ho detto ieri al dottor Peyron che domani salirò sul treno e andrò via per sempre." Come in un vero e proprio "diario ritrovato" Vincent van Gogh ci racconta, giorno per giorno, le ultime settimane della sua vita trascorse nel villaggio di Auvers-sur-Oise, a nord di Parigi. Un’autobiografia ideale e poetica, fatta anche di tanti ricordi, in cui Marco Goldin presta le sue parole al grande pittore olandese, con un passo narrativo coinvolgente e sempre fedele alle fonti storiche e all'epistolario.

I due mesi che i pittori Vincent van Gogh e Paul Gauguin vissero insieme nella Casa Gialla ad Arles, dal 23 ottobre al 23 dicembre 1888, restano tra i momenti più intensi e decisivi dell'intera storia dell'arte. Intensi e talvolta anche drammatici: Vincent si taglierà un orecchio alla vigilia del Natale, Paul fuggirà a Parigi... Sessanta giorni che questo romanzo ricostruisce attingendo alle fonti, dai giornali alle lettere tra i due artisti, e restituendo con sensibilità non solo la storia ma le atmosfere, le ispirazioni, i moti dell'anima.

Il podcast in 5 puntate di Marco Goldin, uno tra i maggiori studiosi dell’opera di Van Gogh, ripercorre le ultime settimane della vita dell’artista olandese. Dal momento in cui il pittore, il 15 maggio 1890, lascia la casa di cura per malattie mentali a Saint-Rémy, in Provenza, passa tre giorni a Parigi a casa del fratello Theo e arriva infine a Auvers-sur-Oise, un villaggio a nord di Parigi. È in questo luogo che Van Gogh dipingerà gli ultimi capolavori, fino alla sua morte. Naturalmente le lettere restano un elemento cardine per poter raccontare quel tempo conclusivo.

In Thinking with Your Hands, esteemed cognitive psychologist Susan Goldin-Meadow argues that gesture is vital to how we think, learn, and communicate. She shows us, for instance, how the height of our gestures can reveal unconscious bias or how the shape of a student’s gestures can track their mastery of a new concept—even when they’re still giving wrong answers. She compels us to rethink everything from how we set child-development milestones to what’s admissible in a court of law to whether Zoom is an adequate substitute for in-person conversation.

An optimistic vision of the future after Covid-19 by a leading professor of globalisation at the University of Oxford. We are at a crossroads. The wrecking-ball of Covid-19 has destroyed global norms. Many think that after the devastation there will be a bounce back. To Ian Goldin, Professor of Development and Globalisation at the University of Oxford, this is a retrograde notion. He believes that this crisis can create opportunities for change, just as the Second World War forged the ideas behind the Beveridge Report. 

A century ago, it was a given that a woman with a college degree had to choose between having a career and a family. Today, there are more female college graduates than ever before, and more women want to have a career and family, yet challenges persist at work and at home. This book traces how generations of women have responded to the problem of balancing career and family as the twentieth century experienced a sea change in gender equality, revealing why true equity for dual career couples remains frustratingly out of reach.
