The year that was Christmas twice in Rome

“Because happiness is not produced by cutting: it almost never works, as with wisteria.” A gang of three makeshift “thieves” has a mission that is far from being equal to them. The author offers us a correct characterization of all our protagonists, so much so that we can imagine them without any difficulty in the scene of a comic film: the novel has a clear cinematic setting which constitutes its true strength. Without revealing too...

Of mice and man

Written by Maria Guidi This review is available only in the original language. _________________________________________________________________________ Scritto da Steinbeck nel 1937, Uomini e topi è uno di quei romanzi che – a prescindere dal trascorrere del tempo – risultano sempre attuali e lasciano un segno profondo nel lettore. È la storia di un’amicizia, quella tra George e Lennie, che si spostano da un ranch all’altro lavorando dove capita, con l’intenzione di mettere da parte abbastanza denaro da “avere un...

The lost bread

“I  wanted to go back into my mother’s womb and never be born again.” The book is a dry and poignant autobiography. The writer tells us about her life, from childhood until today, and entrusts us, without dwelling in pity, the difficult life lived in Hungary between the poverty of her family, the traumatic experience of deportation to the concentration camp, suffering and agony. and finally living as a survivor. We could easily tell ourselves...

Smaragdgrün

Written by Giada Marino This review is available only in the original language. ____________________________________________________   Amare non è solo dire «ti amo», a volte è necessario pronunciare le fatidiche parole «restiamo amici» se ciò porta al risultato che potremo proteggere il nostro amore.

Disturbo della pubblica quiete

Written by Dimitri A. Piccolillo (Bookseller Mondadori Bookstore Barona) This review is available only in the original language. _____________________________________________________________________________ Esordio inaspettato questo di Luca Bizzarri. Da una persona famosa come lui (attore, comico, personaggio televisivo, conduttore e presidente della Fondazione Palazzo Ducale di Genova), normalmente ci si aspetta una autobiografia. “Questo è ciò che mi hanno chiesto infatti!” scherza Luca nella chiacchierata che abbiamo fatto in streaming (disponibile al seguente link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2oR99LH0wc ) Ma Luca...

Save yourself who have a dream

“Sometimes I think that the real curse of my continent is not so much poverty, but the fact that when you are poor you only think of yourself.” Guidrigildo, a word of Lombard origin formed by wer (man, in Latin vir) and geld (price, value), is the sum of money that represented the allowance to be paid to the relatives of the killed person. So here is the whole book enclosed in a single word...

Shine like life

“The happy ending must be conquered, not invented.” Maria Grazia Calandrone entrusts us with a very private and intimate story; with bitter notes from the very first pages. It is the story of a mother-daughter relationship consisting of a very deep love during the golden years of childhood and enormous chaos in the years to come. It is not a simple story told by a daughter, but a troubled relationship with an adoptive mother who...
