Born in 1875, the great German lyric poet Rainer Maria Rilke published his first collection of poems in 1898, and went on to become renowned for his delicate depiction of the workings of the human heart.

From 1903 to 1908, Rilke wrote a series of remarkable responses to a young, would-be poet on poetry and on surviving as a sensitive observer in a harsh world. Those letters, still a fresh source of inspiration and insight, are accompanied here by a chronicle of Rilke's life.

Le "Lettere dal carcere" di Antonio Gramsci vennero pubblicate, su decisione di Togliatti, per la prima volta da Einaudi nel 1947 in una edizione costituita da 218 testi. Si trattava di una raccolta incompleta, che però per prima portava a conoscenza del grande pubblico l'opera di Gramsci. Il libro vinse il premio Viareggio di quell'anno.
