The Sybil

by Redazione
Books4 August 20234 min

“Joyce has never let herself be stopped, least of all by politics.” Daughter of Guglielmo Salvadori, professor of sociology, and of Giacinta Galletti de Cadilhac, correspondent journalist of the Manchester Guardian, Beatrice Gioconda Salvadori known as Joyce in deference to her English origins, is above all a daughter of the twentieth century, a century that lives intensely in its catastrophes and little interludes of joy. She will make of her the libertarian and progressive demands...

Diary of a Martian summer

by Redazione
Books21 July 20234 min

“The truth of the facts is useless and in any case it does not define that of people?” Flaiano, Rome, summer. Three evocative words that perfectly describe the book. Memories, walks, reflections that are able to make Ennio Flaiano known as an old friend, what he represented, indeed he represents, for the Italian cultural panorama. Ennio was none other than an Abruzzese transplanted to Rome at a young age, and which makes him the eternal...

The resistance of women

by Redazione
Books14 July 20234 min

“Mine has always been a family of fighters.” A book necessary for the collective memory. An isthmus of land, submerged by the ocean of ingratitude, returned visible after too many years, which connects the memory of those who sacrificed their youth, and even their lives, to those who enjoy the fruits of that sacrifice. The role of women during the civil war of 1943-1945 in Italy was soon forgotten, sometimes not even acknowledged, although honoring...

The place of war and the cost of freedom

by Redazione
Books23 June 20234 min

“Russia is threatening open societies on the European border.” Essay of high quality on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Reflections on the short to medium term on what the West can continue to do to achieve a credible and, where possible, lasting peace. The text requires a good knowledge of contemporary history, politics, geopolitics and economics in order to be appreciated, and in case you have different interpretations, to counter some issues. History is one of those...

Only once

by Redazione
Books16 June 20234 min

“To change things it is necessary to look at reality from above, try to move away.” The importance and courage of making a decision without fear of having to regret it, being ready to embrace the future, and whatever may happen. Calabresi puts his experience as a journalist to good use, telling us stories of people next door who, with just one single choice, were able to change their lives, of the people they had...

The houses of serial killers

by Redazione
Books19 May 20234 min

“But if something seems too good to be true, it’s usually false“ Before sharing our thoughts on the book, we think it is right to open three parentheses of reflections, which concern in order: the idea developed, the writing and the realization. The basic idea of the text, although already addressed by other authors, certainly has its own interesting aspect. Telling the homes and stories of serial killers has a sinister appeal that is hard...

Don Chisciotte in Sicily

by Redazione
Doc's pills4 May 20238 min

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Forse basterebbe una sola frase per racchiuderne la poesia struggente e al tempo sardonica; eccola: “La case su ‘na cosa, mi arrispose, ‘a vita n’antra”. Ma solo forse, perché la duplicità di queste parole scritte in siciliano – che, penso io, ascoltate nella lingua della meravigliosa isola, con la bocca, le labbra, il naso e gli occhi azzurri di quella...

No Longer Human

by Redazione
Books14 April 20234 min

“I am convinced that human life is filled with pure, happy, serene specimens of insincerity.” The plot of the book in a few lines: non-enthralling story of a Japanese artist, Yozo, with the syndrome of feeling rejected by society. To gain acceptance and be the center of attention he devises empty antics, which over the years have less and less hold on those around him. Nothing relevant would be said, a story like many others...

Fear

Doc's pills6 April 202310 min

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Ha quasi centodue anni, più di un secolo. Così recita l’ultima riga, in calce: 15 agosto 1921. Ieri, praticamente. È piccolo di formato, e breve per numero di pagine. È denso, compatto, è serrato come solo l’espressione del disagio e della paura possono essere. E proprio così si intitola: La paura. È un romanzo scritto da Federico De Roberto, pubblicato...

The last white man

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Trovo meravigliosa la diversità, l’eterogeneità, la differenza, la dissomiglianza, la molteplicità, la varietà. E quest’ultima poi mi piace davvero molto, perché i suoi sinonimi sono molteplicità, assortimento, ricchezza, scelta. Varietà e diversità di colore: giallo, rosso, verde, marrone, nero, rosa, rosa antico, rosa pallido, rosa perlato, grigio, arcobaleno. Differenza e molteplicità di idee, pensieri, opinioni, credo. Dissomiglianze di aspetto:...
