Uncommon type

“The two whispered with the familiarity of experienced soldiers, which they were, not like twenty-two-year-olds, which they were.” Seventeen short stories, many characters different from each other, which describe the normal extraordinary nature of their lives. The American dream, seen from within, described in the routine of everyday life and in the pleasure of small conquests. A continuous series of perfect family paintings (even when they don’t want to be), in which the heart of...

Grey Star the Wizard

Written by Giada Marino This review is available only in the original language. _________________________________________________________   Quello che voglio presentarvi oggi è un libro-game, ovvero un libro in cui saremo noi a decidere lo sviluppo della storia.

To have and have not

“I’m not a Communist, – he replied. – But I’m offended. Offended and indignant for a long time.” The book focuses on the events that accompany the difficult life of Harry Morgan, a fisherman-trafficker brought to his knees by the economic crisis, which struck the United States during the thirties of the last century. Harry Morgan is the mirror of a good portion of the American society of that time, which found itself overnight without...

Hunger games

Written by Marianna D’amico This review is available only in the original language. _________________________________________________________   Suzanne Collins è stata molto abile nel creare e introdurci un mondo distopico , cioè diverso dal mondo che conosciamo noi . È stato molto interessante e sorprendente scoprire come funzionasse, come i distretti e Capitol City siano importanti l’uno l’altro e come tutto sia collegato a formare un enorme meccanismo, in cui tutto deve essere sistematicamente corretto e preciso. Per far...

Lizard

“There is no image in the world where you don’t appear. You are always there.” The book is a collection of six stories. Six stories of hearts and memories. Six wandering souls, each with a past too heavy to bear, a present to sink into and a future to draw. Three short stories are written in the male first person, and three in the female, demonstrating the versatility of the writer and her profound humanity....

One, no one and one hundred thousand

Written by Michela De Nuzzo. This review is available only in the original language. __________________________________________________________ So benissimo che questo libro è un capolavoro come pochi altri nella letteratura italiana, e di certo non c’è bisogno della mia opinione a riguarda, quello che vorrei però sottolineare è l’assoluta contemporaneità del testo. Forse oggi più di quando sia stato pubblicato la prima volta. Non fosse altro perché in questa evoluzione dell’era digitale, dove tutti proviamo a mostrarci...

A man

“The meeting of two solitudes is also the meeting of two imaginations and our fantasy is to fill every silence, every void.” What is A Man? A biography, an ideological novel, a journalistic investigation and a historical-political essay. A set of literary genres, represented with a perfect balance, which constitutes its greatest added value.  The book was written to fulfill a promise of love made by the author to the main protagonist, Alexandros Panagulis, her...

The Garden of the Finzi-Continis

“In life, if one wants to understand, to truly understand how things are in this world, he must die at least once.” During a car trip with a couple of friends and their child, in the countryside of central Italy, some reflections on the Etruscan civilization open the doors of the author’s memory, who finds himself in a moment to remember events that occurred during his youth in his Ferrara. A dip in the past...
