The sound of waves

  Written by Elisa Lorenzini. This review is available only in the original language. ________________________________________________________ Scarno, ruvido, primordiale. È l’amore degli adolescenti, quel primo affacciarsi alla conoscenza e al dolore che assume proporzioni enormi per chi lo vive. Ma è anche il paesaggio dell’isola di Uta-jima, remoto satellite del Giappone industriale, che vive di poche e semplici tradizioni, lontano dalle luci di Tokio e dalle illusioni della modernità. In questa “isola del canto”, dove uomini...

Hokkaido Highway Blues

Written by Michela De Nuzzo. This review is available only in the original language. __________________________________________________________ Ho pensato molto a come poter catalogare questo libro, e sebbene la definizione più giusta potrebbe essere quella del diario di viaggio, questa sarebbe riduttiva. Esso infatti è un tuffo in apnea nel vero mondo giapponese, quello nascosto dietro ogni sguardo, negli angoli più reconditi, che ti fa venire voglia di preparare lo zaino e partire per andare tu stesso a...

Once there was love but I had to kill it

“Men dream of being the first and only lovers of the woman they love. Women say the last one sings victory.” A double roller coaster ride without the safety bar pulled down, while when we bought the ticket we thought we were going on a quiet panoramic train among the ruins of love (and certainly in this the title of the book partly misled us). Once you have managed to survive the first carousel ride...

La llorona

“I tried to find out how many layers of skin need to be changed before die. How hard it is to become an adult.” The bond that merges every mother to her children is something inexplicable. An invisible thread, resistant to any kind of misfortune or bad luck. The protagonist of the book will face the toughest test to which a mother is called, the death of her newborn daughter. An event as catastrophic as...

Iruka

“When relationships are based on love, in a short time many things can be forgiven.” Kimiko is a young Japanese writer. Completely at ease in the daily life inTokyo, oozing strength and self-awareness, ready to conquer the world as it is offered to her. Is this all true? Not really, this is the mask that she wear in public, but behind it, there is a microcosm of uncertainties, frayed family relationships and a lover (it...

Now

“It’s that there are seven billion people in the world. But basically they are divided into two categories. There are those we love. And then there are all the others.” Live the moment. Be aware of that single moment in life, when everything is going to change in a way that we dare not imagine. It doesn’t matter if it happens against our will or caused by us. That moment is Now. The two main...

The Shadow of the Sun

“A stranger is recognized at a glance, anyone can see him and memorize his appearance. There is no need to read books, reflect, discuss: is enough to look.” To start talking about “The Shadow of the Sun”, in an accurate and comprehensive way, we must refer to what is contained in the premise written by the author. This is not a book about Africa, but on the people who live there. Never has a recommendation...
