Dante’s wife

by Redazione
Your Reviews25 October 20215 min

Written by Ludovica Micalizzi This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Dante Alighieri è stato il protagonista indiscusso del panorama intellettuale di quest’anno. In onore dei settecento anni dalla sua morte si è cercato di parlare di diversi aspetti della sua figura ma anche dei personaggi che hanno costellato la sua vita. Tra questi quello della moglie, Gemma Donati, è paradossalmente il meno attenzionato. La scarsità di notizie costituisce di certo un ostacolo per chi voglia...

Travelling

by Redazione
Books22 October 20214 min

“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...

Temptation

by Redazione
Books10 September 20217 min

 “FRIDAY DI-VERSO” “The building is sumptuous but the kingdom is in ruins.” First you have to sleep on it. You have to fall asleep with questions, images in your head, trust that they will clear up behind closed eyelids, you have to let the visions settle, ask yourself what was real, what not, ask yourself if it matters. The plot is soon told. There is a man who is a hunter, a father and a surgeon,...

Written by Micol Rizzo This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ “La lettera scarlatta” di Nathaniel Hawthorne, si può forse considerare uno dei romanzi più influenti nella letteratura americana, capace di trattare temi quali il puritanesimo e la rigidità di una società come quella del XVII secolo a Boston.

And the Birds Rained Down by

Books2 August 20217 min

THE FIRST REVIEW OF THE MONTH WILL BE DEDICATED TO THE NEW VOICE: “MONDAY DI-VERSO” “Happiness simply needs to be indulged.” How is it that these old men in books always cut off our legs? What is this tenderness that hits low when it seemed to us that we were immovable and disenchanted? “And the Birds Rained Down by” is a 2011 novel (anticipating by a few years “Our souls at night” by K. Haruf,...
