Il protagonista, Anguilla, all'indomani della Liberazione, torna al suo paese nelle Langhe dopo molti anni trascorsi in America e, in compagnia dell'amico Nuto, ripercorre i luoghi dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza in un viaggio nel tempo alla ricerca di antiche e sofferte radici.

"La paura finisce dove comincia la verità". Maria Cristina Palma ha una vita all’apparenza perfetta, è bella, ricca, famosa, il mondo gira intorno a lei. Poi, un giorno, riceve sul cellulare un video che cambia tutto. Nel suo passato c’è un segreto con cui non ha fatto i conti. Come un moderno alienista Niccolò Ammaniti disseziona la mente di una donna, ne esplora le paure, le ossessioni, i desideri inconfessabili in un romanzo che unisce spericolata fantasia, realismo psicologico, senso del tragico e incanto del paradosso.

Story
Il bel viso della bambina Giovanna si è trasformato, sta diventando quello di una brutta adolescente. Ma è proprio così? E in quale specchio bisogna guardare per ritrovarsi e salvarsi? La ricerca di un nuovo volto oscilla tra due Napoli consanguinee che però si temono e si detestano: la Napoli di sopra, che s'è attribuita una maschera fine, e quella di sotto, che si finge smodata, triviale. Giovanna oscilla tra alto e basso, in una città che pare non offrire né risposte né scampo.

Story
Quattromila anni di storia in quattrocento pagine, senza ridurli a un arido elenco di date e di nomi. Impossibile? Tutt'altro: in questa "Breve storia d'Italia" Alfio Caruso fonde documentazione e divulgazione, raccontando l'Italia attraverso i personaggi, le mode, i costumi, le invenzioni. I grandi eventi si intrecciano alle minuzie quotidiane, i grandi uomini emergono da piccoli episodi, senza tacere dei loro lati meno onorevoli: il ruolo fondamentale di Nerone per la diffusione del Cristianesimo; la sola volta in cui Leonardo e Michelangelo si sfiorarono.

Beppe Severgnini guida l'ascoltatore attraverso i primi dubbi (perché non abbassano l'aria condizionata?) e le prime risposte (perché gli piace così), descrivendo le molte sorprese della vita quotidiana: le scaramucce con un idraulico di nome Marx; la terribile potenza dei telefoni e dei bambini, veri padroni del paese; le fallimentari escursioni nello shopping elettronico e le battaglie per (non) ottenere una carta di credito.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Eccezzionale!
Storia avvincente e con personaggi straordinariamente interessanti. Sia la narrazione che il romanzo riescono a far immedesimare il lettore in quell'epoca.

Desperation made book
This book is a transparent window that looks at the desperion brought by war with extreme clarity. Reading it my thoughts went continuously to 'the grapes of wrath'.

Solo alcune parti belle
Troppo lungo con un personaggio principale insulso e inutile. Nessuna vera storia dal punto di vista drammatico, solo ritratti. Belle alcune parti durante la guerra e alcune parti di Useppe. interpretazione magnifica di Iaia Forte.
