The intermittences of the heart

“Because the intermittences of the heart are linked to the disturbances of memory.” Les intermittences du cœur  is the beating heart of the search for lost time, a short chapter, in its own right, positioned right in the middle of the imposing and daring literary construction of the entire work, the essential keystone for understanding Proustian thought in depth. It is not a coincidence that Proust initially entrusted this title to the entire work. It was...

Trans Europa Express

Written by Donatella Lanza. This review is available only in the original language. ________________________________________________ Un viaggio deciso al compimento dei 60 anni, quando il 20 dicembre 2007 la Slovenia entra nell’area Schengen. Durante la notte di festeggiamenti per l’abbattimento della sbarra che “aveva tagliato Trieste fuori dal suo naturale retroterra”, Paolo Rumiz realizza che proprio l’esistenza di quel confine aveva originato la sua irrefrenabile spinta alla ricerca di un “Altrove” oltre la frontiera. Decide così...

Uto

“You should do as if the year ends every day. As if it ran out every hour. Every minutes. Every minute you should think that the year is about to end.” Uto Drodemberg. The name alone is enough to draw the charm of the protagonist of the book. An angular character, perhaps partly childish in some attitudes, but of which it is really difficult not to fall in love with the first pages already. Ironic,...

God hates Japan

Written by Syria Soccorso. This review is available only in the original language. ________________________________________________________ Dio odia il Giappone è un libro scritto da Douglas Coupland. Il racconto ha il merito di aprire nuovi punti di osservazione su un paese dalle mille contraddizioni, diviso a metà tra passato e iper futuro. A farne le spese in maniera indiretta i suoi abitanti, costretti ad un mascherato isolazionismo sociale. Protagonista della storia è Hiro Tanaka, un ragazzino insicuro...

“It is not convenient to make ties of tenderness with those who notice your every defect and use it to make you feel stupid or useless.” We bought this book attracted by the cover. We know this is not our habit, and usually the greatest risk is to make a mistake. Well this time we were lucky. The puzzle of symbolic elements of the cover is a first path inside the book, a widespread search...

Take care to shine

  Written by R.K. This review is available only in the original language. _________________________________________________________   Ogni persona al mondo ha un posto dove sentirsi veramente libera. Un luogo protetto dove respirare vita, guardarsi con occhi nuovi e spogliarsi dal peso delle aspettative che gli altri hanno su noi stessi. Quando si è ragazzi e la voglia di sognare ancora brucia dentro, l’incontro con questi “posti del cuore” assume una valenza speciale. Luce, la protagonista del...

Floating souls

“The herons don’t turn to look at us, they are focused on something important that we can’t even imagine.” A six-handed written book capable of making smells of a time gone by, and of the present one that flows away between the fingers without us noticing. To these are added the true flavor of nature to push on the palate, and the mechanical sound of what is created by man. This is Floating souls, a...

The museum of broken promises

  Written by Alberto Zacco. This review is available only in the original language. _________________________________________________ Può una promessa infranta stravolgere una vita? Si, perché dopotutto è un bivio, che ci può portare a intraprendere strade diverse, e proprio con quelle parole non mantenute, si possono stravolgere esistenze intere, senza neppure rendersene conto. La nostra protagonista, Laure, decide di crearne un museo a Parigi dove non sono custoditi né quadri né statue. In questo museo si...
