“It is not convenient to make ties of tenderness with those who notice your every defect and use it to make you feel stupid or useless.” We bought this book attracted by the cover. We know this is not our habit, and usually the greatest risk is to make a mistake. Well this time we were lucky. The puzzle of symbolic elements of the cover is a first path inside the book, a widespread search...

Take care to shine

  Written by R.K. This review is available only in the original language. _________________________________________________________   Ogni persona al mondo ha un posto dove sentirsi veramente libera. Un luogo protetto dove respirare vita, guardarsi con occhi nuovi e spogliarsi dal peso delle aspettative che gli altri hanno su noi stessi. Quando si è ragazzi e la voglia di sognare ancora brucia dentro, l’incontro con questi “posti del cuore” assume una valenza speciale. Luce, la protagonista del...

Floating souls

“The herons don’t turn to look at us, they are focused on something important that we can’t even imagine.” A six-handed written book capable of making smells of a time gone by, and of the present one that flows away between the fingers without us noticing. To these are added the true flavor of nature to push on the palate, and the mechanical sound of what is created by man. This is Floating souls, a...

The museum of broken promises

  Written by Alberto Zacco. This review is available only in the original language. _________________________________________________ Può una promessa infranta stravolgere una vita? Si, perché dopotutto è un bivio, che ci può portare a intraprendere strade diverse, e proprio con quelle parole non mantenute, si possono stravolgere esistenze intere, senza neppure rendersene conto. La nostra protagonista, Laure, decide di crearne un museo a Parigi dove non sono custoditi né quadri né statue. In questo museo si...

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...

A man

“The meeting of two solitudes is also the meeting of two imaginations and our fantasy is to fill every silence, every void.” What is A Man? A biography, an ideological novel, a journalistic investigation and a historical-political essay. A set of literary genres, represented with a perfect balance, which constitutes its greatest added value.  The book was written to fulfill a promise of love made by the author to the main protagonist, Alexandros Panagulis, her...

Dai tuoi occhi solamente

Written by Lucia Accoto This review is available only in the original language. ______________________________________________________ La vita può essere bugiarda. Apparire quello che non è, negli sguardi e nei ricordi. Può sembrare sfilacciata, sfocata, persino alterata nelle emozioni. Bugiarda. Eppure, alcuni istanti restano autentici. Solo quei momenti, quelli veri, hanno una storia impressa sui volti della gente. Si tratta di espressioni che attraggono e nello stesso tempo sfuggono e si nascondono dietro alle incertezze. C’è chi...

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...

The hug of Mrs. Sun

“Even though I wasn’t happy with my situation and that relationship, I was afraid to get out of it and I was beginning to be a slave to my fear.” The book is the raw chronicle of a physical and psychological violence suffered over time by a girl. Salt on the open wounds of our society that must make us think, because it is not a fictional story, but experienced firsthand by the author. So,...
