Written by Lucia Bandini This review is available only in the original language. ______________________________________________________ Non è la trama (sebbene davvero ben costruita) a colpirmi di questo giallo. Non è il paesaggio calabrese né l’uso del dialetto. Non è il protagonista, Gori Misticò, un personaggio strano, non solo per il nome buffo: maresciallo dei carabinieri, ma in aspettativa, fa la spola tra la sua Calabria e uno stimato ospedale di Milano per curare una malattia che non sembra voler mollare...
“Bad day for me: I got over it by willpower because I felt broken.” This review is not intended to be a judgment on the historical-political figure, nor a trial on what Latin American history was during the Cold War, a field of confrontation between the USA and the USSR, superpowers engaged in multiple peripheral conflicts to avoid direct clashes, with unimaginable consequences. This is not the place and, frankly, we don’t think we are...
Written by Cristiana Fiorillo This review is available only in the original language. ________________________________________________________ Per chi non lo conoscesse, Manfredi è uno dei massimi esponenti italiani del romanzo storico. Le sue opere sono in genere ambientate nell’antichità tra la Grecia classica e Roma antica. Dal suo libro “L’ultima legione” è stato tratto anche l’omonimo film del 2007 con Colin Firth e Ben Kingsley. Insomma si tratta di un autore molto celebre anche al di...
“Sometimes I wish I was just a normal girl who can keep a dog without fear of dying.” Every good reader knows that, from time to time, it is necessary to indulge in less demanding, flowing, but not banal, readings; stories that do not pretend to upset you, but lull you with tenderness out of everyday life. Eleonora Gaggero’s book was this for us. It is a book for children, lively and generational, full of...
Written by Nicoletta Baldini This review is available only in the original language. ____________________________________________________ Ho letto “La circonferenza dell’alba” in due giorni, l’ho letteralmente divorato, anzi arrivata alla fine del libro non avrei voluto lasciare Giorgia e gli altri personaggi, avrei voluto ricominciare dall’inizio. Giorgia lavora per una ONG internazionale e vive in Asia. Da molto tempo non torna a casa dalla sua famiglia, ma è costretta a tornare perché la villa di famiglia sul lago deve...
“Even in an immobile life, many things move. I have been privileged. My mother and father gave me a culture.” Ulysses works at a small publishing house very close to bankruptcy. Without understand how, he finds himself imprisoned in a life that does not satisfy him, forced to read ugly manuscripts of budding writers who haunt him in his dreams, a South American girlfriend with whom he has a “stormy” relationship, a mother locked up...
“Not the body was dusty, but the soul. The body was poured water, the soul the dust.” Only the opening poem is worth the cover price and the satisfaction of having read the book. Each verse a caress. A sincere statement of love dedicated to the mother. Ideally dedicated to all the mothers of the world and to all the sons that sometimes too late realize how deep and unrepeatable is that feeling. One great...
Written by Roberta Tamma This review is available only in the original language. ___________________________________________________________ Gli indifferenti è il primo romanzo di Alberto Moravia, scritto a soli 18 anni, pubblicato nel 1929 ma cominciato già nel ‘25. In questo romanzo egli narra degli scorci di una famiglia borghese romana durante gli anni del fascismo. Nonostante ciò fosse fuori dal suo intento, con questo romanzo l’autore anticipò la corrente neorealista italiana poiché è implicita la critica sociale...
“Perhaps the loneliness he enjoyed was wearing him out more than he himself wanted to admit.” The book was a surprise. We approached reading, and we are not afraid to say it, full of prejudices, thinking of yet another children’s book full of clichés, to be digested reluctantly, instead it turned out to be an explosion of opportunities and reflections. When it is said that prejudices must be overcome to open the mind… The simple...
