EPISODE 140 - “THE GARBO MYSTIQUE: A CONVERSATION WITH HER GREAT NEPHEW” - 5/11/2026 Scott Reisfield brings a very unique and personal perspective to this episode about GRETA GARBO. As Garbo's great nephew, he knew his great aunt simply as "Kata," not as the international superstar and mysterious Hollywood actress. Join us as we invite Scott to discuss his new book, "Greta Garbo and the Rise of the Modern Woman," where he debunks many false theories about this illustrious star, and shares what she was really like when the cameras were not rolling. SHOW NOTES: Sources: Greta Garbo and the Rise of the Modern Woman (2026), by Scott Reisfield; Wikipedia.com TCM.com; IMDBPro.com; Movies Mentioned: Anna Christie (1930); Grand Hotel (1932); Queen Christina (1933); Anna Karenina (1935); Camille (1936); Ninotchka (1939); Two-Faced Woman (1941); --------------------------------- http://www.airwavemedia.com Please contact sales@advertisecast.com if you would like to advertise on our podcast.

Love and heartbreak in old Russia.
In the late 1870s, shortly after the publication of Anna Karenina, Tolstoy experienced what might be described today as a midlife crisis. In his short autobiographical book A Confession, finished in 1880, he questioned what meaning there is in life that is not annihilated by the inevitability of death. His answer was to live according to God's law, a realisation that shaped that rest of his life and writing, and guides the story of his late masterpiece, The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886). To discuss The Death of Ivan Ilyich and its place both in Tolstoy's work and the development of realism, James is joined by the novelist Elif Batuman. They consider the way Tolstoy takes up Flaubert's contempt for bourgeois life and strips it down to a spare fable of delusion and awakening, and why the unique authority of his style has proved so resistant to the critiques of realism in the 20th century.

In questa corsa verso il futuro, le città si trasformano: sorgono le stazioni, vere "cattedrali della modernità" che sostituiscono gli antichi luoghi del sacro per celebrare la nuova fede nel progresso. Monumenti di ferro e vetro, come St. Pancras o la Gare du Nord, nascondono sotto involucri neoclassici o neogotici la potenza bruta delle macchine, mentre l'arte si spacca di fronte a tanta irruenza. Se Turner e Monet trovano nel vapore una nuova, sublime dignità estetica, altri vi leggono una ferita inferta all'integrità del paesaggio: è il taglio ferroviario di Cézanne che squarcia la collina, è il fumo scuro di De Nittis che sporca la quiete dei campi, è l'isolamento claustrofobico che Manet intravede dietro un'inferriata di ferro.Ma il simbolo del treno, in questa nostra indagine, rivela infine il suo volto più inquietante e ambiguo. Dalla fascinazione futurista per il "cuore d'acciaio che batte", si scivola rapidamente verso il senso dell'addio e dell'alienazione. Il convoglio diventa il luogo degli strappi dolorosi cantati da Verga o l'altare sacrificale su cui si consuma il destino di Anna Karenina, trasformando il binario nell'unico approdo possibile per un'anima spezzata. Finiremo così per ritrovarci in un vagone di terza classe con Daumier o intrappolati nell'affanno kafkiano delle coincidenze, scoprendo che quel fischio che un tempo prometteva libertà può trasformarsi nel lugubre rintocco di un'umanità prigioniera della propria stessa velocità. Vi aspetto per esplorare insieme questo secolo in corsa, sospeso tra il vapore del sogno e il fragore del ferro...

Guendalina Middei@professor X"Non rinnegare il cuore"Storie di scrittori senza tempo e di sogni che non si spengonoFeltrinelli Editorewww.feltrinellieditore.itGuendalina Middei torna a farci innamorare della letteratura, stavolta accompagnandoci nei segreti degli autori più amati di sempre. Dickinson, Hemingway, Calvino,ma anche Van Gogh, Bulgakov, Darwish e Deledda, sono i protagonisti di sette originalissimi racconti con cui Middei ci accompagna alla scoperta delle loro vite. Non semplici biografie, ma viaggi alla ricerca dell'anima di donne e uomini che con le loro esistenze, alle volte sofferte, gioiose, tristi, avventurose, ma sempre profondamente appassionate, hanno sfidato la società e cambiato la storia. E continuano a cambiarla tuttora.Chi meglio di Grazia Deledda, nata in un'epoca in cui nascere femmina era una disgrazia, può parlarci del coraggio e della tenacia dell'essere donna? Qual era il segreto di Emily Dickinson? Come fece Bulgakov a resistere alla censura spietata e al controllo oppressivo dal regime sovietico? Quante volte, poi, come Van Gogh, ci siamo sentiti schiacciati dalla timidezza, e vorremmo trovare come fece lui la forza per dire ciò che agita il nostro cuore?«Non rinnegare il cuore» non è soltanto un libro sui classici e i loro autori, ma è un invito a ritrovare la carica attraverso le storie di coloro che scelsero di non omologarsi e di sovvertire le regole. E riuscirono a trasformare il fallimento in coraggio, la sconfitta in forza, e il disprezzo del mondo in bellezza. Perché non per subire, ma per brillare, siamo nati. E per fare rumore.Possiamo ritrovare la voglia di rincorrere i nostri sogni seguendo le orme di Hemingway? Imparare ad andare contro corrente grazie a Emily Dickinson? E riscoprire il desiderio di volare liberi in un mondo di uomini-macchina?Guendalina Middei, alias Professor X, è nata a Roma nel 1992. Fin da adolescente coltiva la sua grande passione per la letteratura e la cultura classica. Dopo aver conseguito la laurea in Lettere e un master in Giornalismo culturale, si è dedicata all'insegnamento nei licei e alla scrittura. Ha collaborato con diverse riviste letterarie e oggi firma una rubrica per l'“Indipendente”. Nel 2021 ha esordito nella narrativa con il romanzo storico Clodio, seguito nel 2023 da Intervista con un matto, editi da Navarra Editore.Con Feltrinelli ha pubblicato i saggi divulgativi Innamorarsi di Anna Karenina il sabato sera (2024), Sopravvivere al lunedì mattina con Lolita (2025) e Non rinnegare il cuore. Storie di scrittori senza tempo e di sogni che non si spengono (2026).Nei suoi incontri a teatro avvicina giovani e adulti al mondo meraviglioso e inesauribile dei classici. Nel 2019 ha aperto la pagina Facebook Professor X e nel 2022 il profilo Instagram, divenuti punti di riferimento per oltre mezzo milione di lettori appassionati o incuriositi dalla letteratura.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/
Lucio Coco"Italia"Lev Nikolaevič TolstojNino Aragno Editorewww.ninoaragnoeditore.itIntroduzione, traduzione e note di Lucio CocoDalla sterminata produzione letteraria di Lev Tolstoj in questo volume viene presentata per la prima volta in una edizione italiana una serie di sentenze morali, che l'autore stesso rubrica sotto il titolo di Regole di vita [Pravila žizni]. La loro composizione, che risale agli anni 1847-1854, testimonia la lunga gestazione che ebbe questo lavoro, segno che con esso Tolstoj stava redigendo non solo una raccolta di massime ma stava riflettendo sull'orizzonte etico che avrebbe ispirato tutta la sua vita e al quale si sarebbe conformata anche tutta la sua opera di scrittore.Lev Nikolaevič Tolstòj (Jasnaja Poljana 1828-Astapovo 1910) è uno dei grandi autori non solo della letteratura russa ma di quella mondiale. Il sua fama è legata ai celebri romanzi Guerra e pace (1869), Anna Karenina (1877), Resurrezione (1899) e a diverse opere di ispirazione filosofica, pedagogica, religiosa e morale che ne hanno fatto non solo un campione di letteratura ma anche un maestro di vitaLucio Coco è curatore di importanti edizioni di testi dei Padri della Chiesa quali Giovanni Crisostomo, Gregorio di Nazianzo e Gregorio di Nissa. Si è inoltre interessato alla storia della spiritualità cristiana, approfondendo quella russa, nel cui ambito ha curato la prima edizione del Meterikon nella versio russica di Feofan Zatvornik (Mondadori) e dedicando particolare attenzione al fenomeno dello jurodstvo nella sua declinazione femminile con l'edizione delle Sante stolte della Chiesa russa (Città Nuova). Particolare attenzione ha dedicato allo studio della tradizione gnomologica cristiana greca approntando l'edizione delle Sentenze di Evagrio Pontico, delle Sentenze spirituali di Basilio Magno, Isaia di Scete, Iperechio, Marco l'Eremita e delle Sentenze morali di Fozio (Olschki).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/
This week we tackle the big one, Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy!
This week on The Art of Costume Podcast, we're whisked away to 19th-century Russian high society, where passion simmers, trains loom ominously, and the costumes are absolutely doing the most. Join Spencer and Elizabeth as they step into the lavish, theatrical world of Anna Karenina.Our hosts break down Jacqueline Durran's breathtaking costume design—from unstoppable veils and meticulously styled hair to the bold visual choices that blur the line between stage and screen. Along the way, they discuss Aaron Taylor-Johnson's scene-stealing turn, a not-so-chic Banana Republic collaboration, and how every costume helps chart Anna's emotional descent into scandal, desire, and societal ruin.

One thing that Heather O'Neill's ex-boyfriends had in common was Anna Karenina, the famous novel by Leo Tolstoy. To get to the bottom of this mysterious connection, she decided to re-read the classic novel to see how Anna's story of a doomed love affair reads the second time around. Plus, the Juno-nominated musician Adrian Sutherland talks about writing his first book and how he fell in love with music. Books discussed on this week's show include:Anna Karenina by Leo TolstoyThe Work of Our hands by Adrian Sutherland
John Ross, during his schoolboy days in New Zealand, was interested in far-flung places such as South America, Papua New Guinea, Ancient Greece and Rome, as well as books on World War One and Two. He read a lot of youth fiction starting at 10 years old, but as a teenager, had a voracious appetite for nonfiction. In his 20s he discovered a few wonderful fiction writers, but has still kept mostly to nonfiction through the decades.His first books were Willard Price's Adventure series and Gerald Durrell books on real-life animal collecting. He also read detective and war stories (Biggles) and lots of travel accounts and travel guides.Robert Louis Stevenson was a favorite—Treasure Island, Kidnapped—and later discovered that Stevenson was a very good essayist too. John also enjoyed Rudyard Kipling's Kim.The ancient Greeks left a great impression on him: Herodotus (The Histories) and Thucydides (The Peloponnesian War)In his early 20s he started reading proper literature:Anna Karenina, Dr Zhivago, George Orwell, and Joseph Conrad. He loved Peter Hopkirk's The Great Game series featuring colorful adventurers and spies in exotic locations. In his early 30s he discovered Raymond Chandler and in his 40s H.P. Lovecraft.For books on Asia and East Asia, he started reading about Burma in the late 1980s, and early 1990s, and Mongolia in the mid-1990s, and increasingly China and Taiwan, and even some works on Japan.Some well known book titles that made an early impression were Lost Horizon by James Hilton, Burmese Days by George Orwell, The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck, and Jonathan Spence's China books. Also books on Asia by Maurice Collis.Amy's ReadingAs a child, Amy remembers reading Black Beauty (Anna Sewell, 1877), Walter Farley's series The Black Stallion (1941), and a book called Ponies Plot (Janet Hickman, 1971). She loved all the required reading for school (some books now banned): English literature such as Graham Greene's Brighton Rock, Shakespeare's plays, and lots of Roald Dahl, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and James and the Giant Peach; and American authors John Steinbeck (1930s–1950s), J. D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye (1951), Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter (1850), Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh (1964) and A Separate Peace (1959) by John Knowles. She recalls that in first grade, her teacher read to the class Little Pear (1931), by Eleanor Francis Lattimore, about a Chinese boy.From her parents' book collection she read Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott (1868), and Wuthering Heights (1847) Emily Bronte as well as stories by Charlotte Bronte and other classics.In college she moved into more popular literature, again much of it required reading for her classes: works by Thomas Pynchon, Jerzy Kosiński, Blind Date (1977) and The Painted Bird (1965) the latter of which—notably—had a scene on bestiality and would probably be banned as college reading these days!.In high school, her father paid her to read books, and she vividly remembers excerpts from Henry Hazlitt's The Foundations of Morality (1964), which still influences her choices in life today. She credits her father's books for her interest in philosophy and a basic understanding of free-market economics.Once she knew she was headed to Japan, she read Edwin Reischauer's The Japanese Today (1988), and Japan as Number One, by Ezra Vogel (1979) which were her first books to read about Asia (other than Shogun). For most of her childhood she preferred non-fiction and didn't start reading fiction seriously till she arrived in Japan and read Haruki Murakami. Now she reads everything!At the end of the podcast Amy & John encourage listeners to write in to ask for suggestions on what books on Asia to give friends or family.

pWotD Episode 3133: Tom Stoppard Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 240,997 views on Saturday, 29 November 2025 our article of the day is Tom Stoppard.Sir Tom Stoppard (born Tomáš Sträussler, 3 July 1937 – 29 November 2025) was a Czech and English playwright and screenwriter. He wrote for film, radio, stage, and television, finding prominence with plays. His work covered the themes of human rights, censorship, and political freedom, often delving into the deeper philosophical bases of society. Stoppard was a playwright of the National Theatre; one of the most internationally performed dramatists of his generation; and critically compared with William Shakespeare and George Bernard Shaw. He was knighted for his contribution to theatre by Queen Elizabeth II in 1997 and awarded the Order of Merit in 2000. Born in Czechoslovakia, Stoppard left as a Jewish child refugee, fleeing imminent Nazi occupation. He settled with his family in England after the war, in 1946, having spent the previous three years (1943–1946) in a boarding school in Darjeeling in the Indian Himalayas. After being educated at schools in Nottingham and Yorkshire, Stoppard became a journalist, a drama critic and then, in 1960, a playwright.Stoppard's most prominent plays include Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1966), Jumpers (1972), Travesties (1974), Night and Day (1978), The Real Thing (1982), Arcadia (1993), The Invention of Love (1997), The Coast of Utopia (2002), Rock 'n' Roll (2006) and Leopoldstadt (2020).

In this episode of Lit With Charles, I speak with writer, translator, and Chekhov expert Rosamund Bartlett about her new translation of Chekhov's Early Stories. We talk about how Anton Chekhov - the Russian doctor who transformed short fiction - first found his voice, and why his quiet, compassionate storytelling still feels so modern. Rosamund also shares insights from her other acclaimed works, including About Love and Other Stories (Oxford World's Classics, 2004/8), her celebrated translation of Anna Karenina (Oxford World's Classics, 2014), and The Russian Soul: Selections from A Writer's Diary (Notting Hill Books, 2017). It's a fascinating conversation about literature, translation, and the enduring power of small moments — and I hope you enjoy listening to it!Lit with Charles loves reviews.

What truly makes Anna Karenina so significant—as an epitome of world literature—is that it is far more than a tale of love and tragedy. Tolstoy offers us a mirror of the common human condition and suffering—his characters are as alive today, with all their emotional turmoil, just as they were in the 19th century. Today, we're truly honored to welcome back Professor. Julia Titus from Yale University, to guide us into Leo Tolstoy's masterpiece Anna Karenina. Prof. Titus is the author of Dostoevsky as a Translator of Balzac (2022).

This novel is set in an interesting way, devoting chapters to Penelope and individual members of her family, but also to more secondary characters such as Antonia and Dannus (the bright spots). Each snapshot gives characters their own unique voice.The Shell Seekers by Rosamonde Pilcher has a dual timeline, WWII and present day which was 1987. Penelope's three children were a bit hard to take. Olivia seemed the most sensible, although loaded with the “I am woman hear me roar” vibe, at least she was not greedy like her siblings. Nancy and Noel were unlikeable and self-absorbed. Pilcher's writing is unique in that she uses the senses extremely well. Her ability to make readers hear the ticking clock, smell the food being served, hear bird's song, and even feel the importance of plants as a symbol of growth highlight the best parts of the book. Penelope did not have an easy life, her husband ran off with his secretary leaving Penelope the kids and his gambling debts to pay off. Penelope grew up in a loving and welcoming home with a famous artist for a father. Nancy and Noel are eager to sell the beloved painting of Lawrence Stern called The Shell Seekers. Penelope ponders to herself, “perhaps she had not expected enough of them.” “I have given them all I can and they always want more.” Pilcher painted a powerful picture of ingratitude in this novel.The first sentence of Leo Tolstoy's novel Anna Karenina is: “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” The Shell Seekers shows the tension families have when wills collide.

The kidnap, murder and rape of Sarah Everard was deemed a moment of reckoning in 2021. The Angiolini Inquiry, which investigated this case, found that Wayne Couzens was reported eight times for indecent exposure. The report also found that the offence "may indicate a potential trajectory towards even more serious sexual and violent offending". A new report by The Telegraph has investigated cases of indecent exposure since Sarah Everard's murder and found that police are catching and prosecuting fewer offenders, despite a big increase in the number of offences reported. The paper's Home Affairs Editor, Charles Hymas, joins Nuala McGovern, as does Zoë Billingham, former HM Inspector of Constabulary.Natalie Dormer has graced our screens as Margaery Tyrell in Game of Thrones, Anne Boleyn in The Tudors and in films including The Hunger Games: Mockingjay and The Wasp. She's now back on stage as Anna in a new adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's epic novel Anna Karenina. Set in 19th century Russia, Anna is the wife of a powerful government official, who dares to step outside the bounds of society to risk a dangerous and destructive love affair. Natalie talks to Nuala about the role, her career and more.World fertility rates are in 'unprecedented decline' according to a survey of 14,000 people by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the UN's reproductive rights agency. One in five respondents said they haven't had – or don't expect they will have - the number of children they want. The survey spanned 14 countries on five continents, which are home to a third of the world's population. Nuala is joined by demographer Anna Rotkirch, who has researched fertility intentions in Europe and advises the Finnish government on population policy, to discuss the findings and their impact. Jessica Stanley's novel Consider Yourself Kissed tells the story of Coralie, a copywriter who moves from Australia to London just before she turns 30 and falls in love with political journalist Adam. Jessica tells Nuala about the book, which tracks 10 years of Coralie and Adam's lives from 2013 to 2023, taking in love, birth, illness and a particularly eventful period in British politics.

Leo Tolstoy was a man of many lives—born into a rich Russian family, he gave up his wealth to live like a simple peasant. He wrote some of the greatest books ever, like War and Peace and Anna Karenina, but spent much of his life searching for deeper meaning. He fought in wars, struggled with faith, argued with his wife, and inspired the world with his bold ideas about peace, truth, and nonviolence. From being a nobleman to a barefoot wanderer, Tolstoy's life was a powerful drama filled with love, conflict, and deep spiritual awakening. This talk show from KiranPrabha dives into that incredible journey. This is Third/Last Part of 3 Parts series

Dennis is joined via Zoom by Director Lovell Holder & Writer-Performer Roger Q. Mason, the duo behind the provocative and beautifully-crafted new film Lavender Men, which is based on Mason's hit stage play of the same name. The story centers on Taffeta (they/them, played by Mason), the put-upon stage manager of a play about Abraham Lincoln. After one too many backstage indignities, Tafetta cracks and decides to take the whole show over and narrate it as their fantasia and things get wild from there. Roger talks about the film's central themes of why do we, as humans, like what we like and the gulf that often exists between what we desire and what we need. Lovell talks about using the films Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Joe Wright's Anna Karenina as touchstones while making the piece, the day during the shoot when he ran out of steam and ideas and meeting Roger when then were both in their late teens. They both talk about working with the editor Morgan Halsey whose father Richard Halsey happened to speak at a screening of American Gigolo that Dennis saw on the very same day that he did this interview. Other topics include: eating an entire apple pie on stage, Mason refusing to take a nap during naptime at the YMCA as a child, the friends that pitched in to make the movie happen and Roger's belief that, "It's never easy to tell the truth in a world that capitalizes on lies and illusion."
