Dai tuoi occhi solamente

Your Reviews15 April 20204 min

Written by Lucia Accoto This review is available only in the original language. ______________________________________________________ La vita può essere bugiarda. Apparire quello che non è, negli sguardi e nei ricordi. Può sembrare sfilacciata, sfocata, persino alterata nelle emozioni. Bugiarda. Eppure, alcuni istanti restano autentici. Solo quei momenti, quelli veri, hanno una storia impressa sui volti della gente. Si tratta di espressioni che attraggono e nello stesso tempo sfuggono e si nascondono dietro alle incertezze. C’è chi...

Stolen beauty

Your Reviews8 April 20203 min

Written by Elisa Lorenzini. This review is available only in the original language. _________________________________________________________ Due sponde della Storia, divise dal mostro delle guerre mondiali. Due facce dell’Austria imperiale e post-imperiale. Due ritratti di Vienna, fulgida capitale della cultura fin de siécle e poi primo avamposto nazista. Due donne, forti per lignaggio e per natura, legate tra loro da un vincolo di parentela, che va oltre il sangue, e fonde le loro anime ribelli in un...

Written by  Elena Danioni. This review is available only in the original language. ______________________________________________________________ Giosuè Calaciura in 107 pagine ci racconta l’ordinaria corsa del tram 14 che, nel giorno magico della vigilia di Natale, attraversa Milano, destinato a raggiungerne l’ estrema periferia. Il tram, complice la speciale data della vigilia di Natale, assume le sembianze di una cometa con i fari che illuminano le rotaie e le scintille di fuoco che si irradiano nella notte. Fermata dopo fermata scopriremo come il...

The hug of Mrs. Sun

by Redazione
Books13 March 20204 min

“Even though I wasn’t happy with my situation and that relationship, I was afraid to get out of it and I was beginning to be a slave to my fear.” The book is the raw chronicle of a physical and psychological violence suffered over time by a girl. Salt on the open wounds of our society that must make us think, because it is not a fictional story, but experienced firsthand by the author. So,...

Mangereta

by Redazione
Books12 January 20204 min

“As we walked melancholy towards home, a question filled us with feelings of guilt: were war, unemployment, the lack of a home, poverty perhaps a calling for us?” A story of unexpected gentleness. A slow snowfall on Christmas day when you are a child, greeted by the warmth of home and a glass of hot milk. This is the feeling we experienced at the end of reading Mangereta, with the only regret that there were...

Frank Sinatra

Books27 December 20194 min

“They seem destined for each other: they understand and detest each other. They are both thin and voracious: at table and in bed. They are self-centered, narcissistic, overbearing, impatient and ambitious to the same extent.” Lovely book. Reading flows lightly, supported by a simple narrative style (in a positive sense), and the curiosity to find out all the rumors on U.S. entertainment and politics word from the last century. A posthumous and unofficial biography of...

I do high jumps

by Redazione
Books3 December 20194 min

“All of us every day, when we get out of bed, we have enormous power: we can choose whether to be a help for someone or a problem.” A caress to the heart hardened by the individualism of everyday life. This was the strange effect of the book by Iacopo Melio (Iacopo with the I recommend, otherwise he could became a bit upset), once the reading is finished. So much true that we immediately read...
