Uncanny Valley

Your Reviews24 January 20226 min

Written by Elena Danioni This review is available only in the original language _______________________________ Ciascuno di noi possiede uno o più devices informatici che per la loro accessibilità e trasportabilità accompagnano costantemente le nostre vite. La nostre privacy è crollata di fronte alla potenza informatica. Inoltre oggi, la tecnica ha un valore assoluto per la sua pervasività, abilità di controllo, capillarità e capacità di produrre profitto. Anna Wiener con il suo libro di memorie intitolato “La valle oscura”...

Margherita Dolcevita

by Redazione
Books21 January 20224 min

“Only dead fish go with the current.” Sweet, attentive, unscrupulous, acute. A text that is read with pleasure and that makes you happy in reading. In the same way the protagonist (and how could she not be otherwise?), Margherita Dolcevita has a nickname that characterizes (at least in Italian language) her both emotionally and physically, the usual clever pun that the author has accustomed us to in his books. Margherita is a fourteen-year-old teenager, full...

Girl interrupted

by Redazione
Books7 January 20224 min

“When you are sad you need to feel your pain made into music.” Book of memoirs, in which the writer recounts her experience as a patient in a US psychiatric clinic in the late 1960s. A leap into the void crossed after a perhaps incorrect diagnosis of personality disorder, following an alleged attempt to commit suicide. The stay at the McLean private hospital will last for eighteen months, during which the writer lives in a...

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Perché leggere della Prima Grande Guerra nel 2021? Perché è utile. Perché è profondamente necessario. Perché rischiamo di dimenticarcene, assorbiti dal nostro nuovo tempo e dalla buriana dell’accadere del passato prossimo, prossimissimo oserei dire, e del futuro di domani, perché già il dopodomani è troppo in là per pensarci con adeguata cognizione di causa. Perché siamo stati quelli che...

Hardboiled & Hard Luck

by Redazione
Books17 December 20214 min

“Things that don’t matter to some can be as terrible as death to others.” Book divided into two stories detached from each other Hard Boiled and Hard Luck (hence the title H/H). Although indirectly in contrast to the setting, characters and family relationships, the background theme links the two stories: the world of the afterlife, and the attempt to move forward despite the inner pain. In the first story, the protagonist is a young girl...

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Ho chiara memoria di nonna, i suoi capelli cotonati e la “grembiala”, come la chiamava lei, la luce che entra da dietro e la torta all’Alchermes regina sul tavolo, fucsia nel centro, e viva di giallo della crema pasticcera e del pan di Spagna sopra e sotto. Una torta a righe, così la ricordo, la mia preferita preparata da...

History of the Milanese anarchists

by Redazione
Books10 December 20214 min

“Every anarchist was seen as dangerous just for being an anarchist. Ideology was dangerous, not the man.” Interesting historical monograph.To read the text, a good smattering of Italian history of the beginning of the century is recommended, otherwise you run the risk of being stranded after the first ten pages have passed. Given the importance of the city of MIlan, the history of the Milanese anarchist world is consequently that of the entire peninsula. Milan...

Luca’s secret

by Redazione
Books26 November 20214 min

“That old priest, not only preaches the faith of God to women and children, as his profession requires, but he himself believes in it.” Warning for the reader: this review is written by an entire editorial staff totally enchanted by Ignazio Silone’s prose. Underrated, forgotten, left to tan on second-hand stalls, for us Silone’s books are works of art to have at home without arguing. The protagonist of the story, Luca Sabatini, returns to his...
