Against the empires

by Redazione
Books26 June 20264 min

“Violating the conventions and beliefs of his world proved neither an ethically sound nor a politically astute choice.” Understanding the constantly and rapidly changing world of international relations means relying on the knowledge and quality of scholars and intellectuals who can help develop lateral thinking about the implications of a given event and connect them. Since the early 2020s (although some specify since the early 2010s), the liberal international order seems to have reached its...

Extinction

Books13 June 20264 min

“As soon as I saw Alisia get off the train I thought with relief that we had reached the point: she was finally leaving me.“ Silvio and Alisia are a non-couple. They have almost nothing in common, yet their relationship continues like a stone thrown into a lake, which continues to sink until it reaches the bottom. As a couple, however, they work because, as the author writes, the most successful couples are those who...

Morgana the Fairy

by Redazione
Books5 June 20266 min

“FRIDAY RE-VERSO” “Expecting mirages to take us where we want to go is madness.”   Morgana is the deceptive fairy who distorts reality through strange visions, making hallucinations something we must necessarily confront. The treatise on imaginary ethnography that Celati presents us does more or less the same thing: it forces us to immerse ourselves in the lives of a nonexistent people, describing their habits, stories, and characteristics, mocking a certain colonial descriptivism and leaving...

Against all racism

by Redazione
Books29 May 20264 min

“I fought against white domination and against black domination.” After finishing the book, we felt sad but full of hope. Guilty despite being innocent. Filled with remorse for faults not ours. A necessary text, to understand the world of yesterday and, unfortunately, that of tomorrow. We had read it years ago, and reread it today, and we have come closer to its contents. A small book of just a few pages, but of unimaginable scope....

Ilaria in the jungle

by Redazione
Books8 May 20267 min

“FRIDAY RE-VERSO” “I’ve always been an architect of problems.”   The first thing to say is that Ilaria Camilletti was born in 2005. The second thing to say is that this book isn’t beautiful despite, or even though, the author is twenty years old. It’s simply beautiful. It’s important to say that. Obviously, “beautiful” is an adjective that requires qualification, otherwise we wouldn’t be here, but for now. Ilaria has just finished her high school diploma,...

Proleterka

Books1 May 20264 min

“Orsola treats me like an adult. As an equal. Obedience doesn’t mean subordination.“ The flavor of the words and the human touch Fleur Jaeggy narrates in this book are unparalleled. They bring back memories forgotten in a short time. Empathizing with the protagonists of the story comes naturally, even though the reader is unlikely to have experienced the events recounted. The immortality of the text lies in the precise reflection of certain interpersonal dynamics, typical...

The Age of Aquarius

by Redazione
Books24 April 20265 min

“The man had turned off the light and lay down again. He hadn’t fallen asleep again.“ We enter the story with a sense of suspicion, almost thriller-like, especially in the opening pages, where the first chapter ended with a resounding wow. This driving force drove the reader to read and unravel the narrative, rich in details, descriptions, objects, and lists, until reaching the midpoint of the book, precisely halfway through, where a new and resounding...

Reeds in the wind

by Redazione
Books10 April 20265 min

“And God promised a good year, or at least he made all the almond and peach trees in the valley cover themselves in flowers.” We found a beautiful, dated version of this novel in a bookstore, and we decided it was there just for us, those of us who always love reading a story with a touch of something far removed from contemporary life. From the first pages, we realized we were giving ourselves a...

Mockingbird

by Redazione
Books3 April 20266 min

“FRIDAY RE-VERSO” “What ever gave me the patience to persist until I learned to read the words of a book?”   We wonder how this book isn’t required reading in every school. It deserves a place on children’s bookshelves between To Kill a Mockingbird and Fahrenheit 451; if you haven’t already, read it now, before they all burn them. Categorising Mime as science fiction seems risky, to say the least: reading this book today means...

The excluded

by Redazione
Naturally17 March 20268 min

Many don’t know it, but Luigi Pirandello’s L’esclusa (The Excluded) represents the Agrigento-born author’s first true novel. My advice is to approach this book without thinking about the existentialism of Adriano Meis or the identity crisis of Vitangelo Moscarda, and to expect nothing. Because the truth is that this title stands out from all of Pirandello’s fiction for one very simple reason: its protagonist. A completely unconventional female protagonist, stronger than any other figure portrayed...
