I hate Him

“That God was nothing but a fantasy created by men to give refuge to our fears?” A strong, powerful and weighty book. The title itself is already explanatory of much of what you are going to read. The story is that of Faustino, a silent child, who takes a long time to speak compared to his peers, and goes to discover the world through the discovery of key words that he writes down in a...

The year that was Christmas twice in Rome

“Because happiness is not produced by cutting: it almost never works, as with wisteria.” A gang of three makeshift “thieves” has a mission that is far from being equal to them. The author offers us a correct characterization of all our protagonists, so much so that we can imagine them without any difficulty in the scene of a comic film: the novel has a clear cinematic setting which constitutes its true strength. Without revealing too...

Of mice and man

Written by Maria Guidi This review is available only in the original language. _________________________________________________________________________ Scritto da Steinbeck nel 1937, Uomini e topi è uno di quei romanzi che – a prescindere dal trascorrere del tempo – risultano sempre attuali e lasciano un segno profondo nel lettore. È la storia di un’amicizia, quella tra George e Lennie, che si spostano da un ranch all’altro lavorando dove capita, con l’intenzione di mettere da parte abbastanza denaro da “avere un...

The lost bread

“I  wanted to go back into my mother’s womb and never be born again.” The book is a dry and poignant autobiography. The writer tells us about her life, from childhood until today, and entrusts us, without dwelling in pity, the difficult life lived in Hungary between the poverty of her family, the traumatic experience of deportation to the concentration camp, suffering and agony. and finally living as a survivor. We could easily tell ourselves...
