Spartan

Your Reviews23 September 20204 min

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...

The dilapidated teacher

by Redazione
Books19 August 20204 min

“The houses are full of garbage, the streets are all secondary, all shortcuts that lead nowhere.” An ideal follow up of what was the first bestseller of Marcello D’Orta himself, the book takes up many of the issues and questions left open. The book is nice, you can read it in an afternoon, but it’s not as simple as it might seem; with a style of old times it helps to reflect on important issues,...

Proof of Heaven

Your Reviews5 August 20204 min

Written by Veronica Paladini This review is available only in the original language. ___________________________________________________   Il libro che ho tra le mani è stato un incontro particolarmente affascinante per essere capitato in un giorno normalissimo. Eben Alexander, l’autore di questo testo autobiografico, è un neurochirurgo del North Carolina che ha conosciuto la scrittura per necessità. Era il 2008 quando si trovò a combattere contro una meningite batterica tanto anomala quanto pericolosa che lo mandò in...

The Diary of Anne Frank

by Redazione
Books27 June 20204 min

“You cannot imagine how sad it is to watch helplessly at the performance of his solitude.” A classic is a classic, so any comment we make may be superfluous or even reductive. For this reason we decided not to dwell on the story that led to the birth of the book, or on the plot, or on the stylistic code adopted, rather we preferred to tell what it meant for us to re-read it after...

Don’t move

by Redazione
Books1 March 20204 min

“Everyone has many reasons to cry, funerals are just a good opportunity.” A book that goes straight to the heart, to shatter and reassemble it in a decomposed way, and then still shatter it and then still reassemble it for better and better. Much undeserved pain for the main characters, which reverberates on the reader like the last light of the sun before going to die at the end of the day. Timothy is an...

Deception Point

by Redazione
Books26 January 20204 min

“Sometimes a thin thread is enough to discover something.“ Fast-paced thriller, with a sustained rhythm capable of involving the reader. Even the least passionate of the genre, will not stop to read it, at lease up to three-quarters of the story. But then the trouble comes, and you start to feel the weight of the many scattered technical explanations. Military procedures, armaments, institutional procedures and street references, that are simply too much; but after all...

I do high jumps

Books3 December 20194 min

“All of us every day, when we get out of bed, we have enormous power: we can choose whether to be a help for someone or a problem.” A caress to the heart hardened by the individualism of everyday life. This was the strange effect of the book by Iacopo Melio (Iacopo with the I recommend, otherwise he could became a bit upset), once the reading is finished. So much true that we immediately read...

Pure Life

by Redazione
Books26 November 20194 min

“Maybe the most interesting tips are those that cannot be given in words.” “What do you mean?” “In the sense that they are like ascertainment germs of a delayed effect.” Relations between parents and children are the most difficult to build. Misunderstandings, weaknesses, communicative gaps and recriminations undermine stability over the years. Giovanni, the main character of the book, is not an exception to this natural law of the world. The long journey by car...

Fontamara

Books28 October 20194 min

“At the head of all is God, the master of heaven. This everyone knows. Then comes the prince of Torlonia, owner of the land. Then the prince’s guards come. Then come the prince’s guard dogs. Then nothing. Then, still nothing. Then, still nothing. Then come the peasants. And we can say that it is finished.” If we were forced to describe the book with a single adjective, there is only one: evergreen. We read Fontamara...
