But when this presidential debate gets underway in the early hours of Wednesday morning UK time, Sarah thinks it will be a very different story. 'An encounter worth losing sleep for,' she reckons.

2024-09-0610 minA Point of ViewNo Country for Old MenSarah Dunant argues that Joe Biden's refusal to understand his moment in history is forcing the nation to confront the fact that she is no longer young. 'In the relatively short history of America from new country to super power,' writes Sarah, 'she has always - even when she behaves badly - projected an aura of self confidence, a vitality, almost cocky certainty that we associate with youth. And for the longest time, it made for an optimism, a sense of can do, that sometimes felt like manifest destiny.' That, Sarah argues, is...

Для Фьямметты день не был выдающимся: она выщипывала брови и кусала губы до алого цвета, готовясь. Но для Рима день стал роковым: в город ворвались голодные, сумасшедшие захватчики, не знавшие пощады. Теперь Фьямметта вынуждена спасаться. С драгоценностями в желудках куртизанка и ее слуга, карлик Бучино, бегут в Венецию - мерцающий город, рожденный из воды. Они идеальные партнеры: острый на язык Бучино и обольстительная Фьямметта, с рождения обученная очаровывать и развлекать мужчин при деньгах. И хотя растет состояние, множатся и проблемы: избыточное внимание любовников Фьямметты, тайны похищенных драгоценностей и слепая целительница, которая появляется в жизни беглецов с разрушительным посланием. «В обществе куртизанки» - это яркий портрет одного из величайших городов мира в самый важный период его существования и, одновременно с этим, история о желании и обмане, грехе и величии, верности и дружбе.

2017-03-072h 11A Point of ViewSarah Dunant: Protest, Paris, TerrorSarah Dunant reflects on the nature of protest against the threat of terrorism and the threat of climate change and their coming together in the city of Paris."How do we find a sense of potency in the face of terror, how do we embrace life when threatened with death, how do we champion our future against those who claim they will just carry on dying until they win? Perhaps what is needed is mental as much as military action."
Producer: Sheila Cook.
2015-12-0409 minA Point of ViewSarah Dunant: Crisis in CatholicismSarah Dunant sees a new crisis in the Catholic church as a result of unchanged policy over divorce, homosexuality, celibacy and the role of women. "Men may truly believe in God but for most of them chastity is too big an ask and if enforced leads, at worst, to abuse and at best to a clergy and hierarchy ignorant of, and often unsympathetic to, the problems of being human. From there it's but a skip and a jump to the role of women and their exclusion from the heart of the church."Producer: Sheila Cook.

2013-01-0941 minA Point of ViewPresenting the PastSarah Dunant reflects on the role of history in society - and how it changes over time. Research and archaeology, as well as the views of the times in which historians live, change their perception of the past. Dunant also asks what historical fiction takes from academic study - and what it, in turn, can teach those who study the past. She also asks whether the humanities are as valued as they should be. Do we underrate them at our peril?
