Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

“There is no doubt that all wisdom comes from anger.” The story is simple and intense. The narrator and protagonist of the story is that of a woman who is no longer very young, in a very small town along the border between Poland and the Czech Republic (but on the Polish side), where everyone knows each other and relations with neighbors are so dry as intense as the winter cold. The protagonist of the...

Uncanny Valley

Written by Elena Danioni This review is available only in the original language _______________________________ Ciascuno di noi possiede uno o più devices informatici che per la loro accessibilità e trasportabilità accompagnano costantemente le nostre vite. La nostre privacy è crollata di fronte alla potenza informatica. Inoltre oggi, la tecnica ha un valore assoluto per la sua pervasività, abilità di controllo, capillarità e capacità di produrre profitto. Anna Wiener con il suo libro di memorie intitolato “La valle oscura”...

In the dream house

“FRIDAY DI-VERSO” None of these things exist. You have no reason to believe me … the temperature rises, it is completely unpleasant, but the frog has weakened, it no longer has the strength to go out. If it had been thrown into the already boiling water, it would have jumped out with a thrust of the kidneys. Do you know the metaphor of the frog in the hot pot? Chomsky used it to describe the individual...

Disturbance

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Mi è comparso davanti agli occhi per caso, un mattino di sole fuori e un fresco che aveva lasciato spazio ai primi caldi; leggevo da qualche parte, dove non lo ricordo neppure più bene; prima il tema, poi l’autore – Philippe Lançon – e da ultimo sono andato a cercare il titolo: La traversata. Un colpo di fulmine, e...

Nomadland

“For an increasing number of Americans, the dream of a middle-class life has gone from difficult to impossible.” Necessary. This is the adjective in which we think we can wrap the book before putting it in place in our library. A text necessary to expose the petty inconsistencies on which the US economic system is based, and by extension those of a large part of the Western world. A punch in the stomach of hypocrisy,...

Travelling

“Traveling is a mental set-up and the art of traveling is something you learn directly on the road.” A light and pleasant book, a reading that slips away like a beautiful sunset on the horizon where earth and sky meet. In perfect harmony with the subject matter and, we believe, with the author’s aim. The writing has no courtly ambitions, and does nothing to hide it, rather it is functional to the manual vocation of...

In one breath

“There were people in danger of their lives, and we took action. Full stop.” A breaking news, known by many people, told in the form of a novel. A hero of our days who, listening only to his conscience, has put into play everything he had built in life to work to save lives. This is the story of Cristian, an engineer, who in the midst of the 2020 pandemic, creates a valve that applied...

Cacciati via, nuotano soli verso...
