La memoria rende liberi
"Un conto è guardare e un conto è vedere, e io per troppi anni ho guardato senza voler vedere." Liliana ha otto anni quando, nel 1938, le leggi razziali fasciste si abbattono con violenza su di lei e sulla sua famiglia. Discriminata come "alunna di razza ebraica", viene espulsa da scuola e a poco a poco il suo mondo si sgretola: diventa "invisibile" agli occhi delle sue amiche, è costretta a nascondersi e a fuggire fino al drammatico arresto sul confine svizzero che aprirà a lei e al suo papà i cancelli di Auschwitz. Dal lager ritornerà sola, ragazzina orfana tra le macerie di una Milano appena uscita dalla guerra, in un Paese che non ha nessuna voglia di ricordare il recente passato n...
The She-Wood
Thea Windsong, self-styled shaman, comes to affluent Wellesford, Connecticut, to buy a home, a middle-aged woman with long, black hair, a pickup truck, and no apparent connections to the town. The property that wins her heart is a rundown little house by the railroad tracks off Thornwood Road, across the pond from a Civil War cemetery, and saddled with the rumor that it is haunted by the spirit of an ancient witch. “This is a she-wood!” Thea says, sensing a “divine feminine energy” in the near-wilderness surrounding the old cottage and barn. When Thea vanishes shortly after becoming the property’s new owner, the only one who seems to care is Lydie Pretlove, the real estate agent who tried to talk her out of buying it. As the conventional Lydie probes into Thea’s bewildering world, she feels herself falling under the she-wood’s spell, until her newfound “feminine energy” recaptures the body and soul of her ex-husband John, still married to his beautiful, neurotic second wife, Isabel.But it will take a chain of horrific events before Lydie discovers the she-wood’s secret, and a struggle with her conscience over whether to reveal it.
A Bridge of Memories
In the summer of 1973, author Liliana M. Cellini left her home country of Italy at age twenty-two and immigrated to the United States. This shy, young woman would now have responsibilities—a marriage, a home, and the dream of a future family to take care of and nourish. The time passed quickly, and now there are the memories. In A Bridge of Memories, she chronicles her life story, telling tales of the old world, her home country of Italy, of her atheist communist father and religious mother, and of her experiences in the United States, experiences that molded her into the person she is today. Cellini also shares her point of view on life, religion, politics, and news. In this memoir, she brings the knowledge of her past to the new generation, her memories from her early age of four to the day when she left Italy, proclaiming her love for both countries.
I barbari facevano i vandali
“I barbari facevano i vandali” è l’espressione usata da un ragazzino di dodici anni, per rispondere a una domanda, posta dall’insegnante in un questionario di storia. L’Autrice l’ha scelta, tra le tante, come motto dimostrativo della capacità dei bambini di seguire indefinibili percorsi logici, plasmando con le parole realtà sorprendenti e decisamente “sovversive” rispetto alle concezioni comuni e correnti. Lo spirito del testo è proprio quello di evitare una facile ironia sulla “ignoranza” e impreparazione scolastica (peraltro in alcuni casi innegabile) degli adolescenti, per metterne piuttosto in luce la creatività, che si manifesta in forme e modi spesso imprevedibili, generalmente comici, sempre misteriosi per i criteri di giudizio degli adulti.
The Immortal Marilyn
From the late 1940s to the early '60s, Marilyn Monroe appeared in barely thirty movies, beginning with bit parts and moving on into supporting roles for such films as The Asphalt Jungle, All About Eve, and Clash by Night. She soon shot to international fame and gained prominent roles in a number of classics like The Seven Year Itch, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and Some Like It Hot. By the time of her early death in 1962, she had already become established as one of the great icons of the silver screen. Even early in her career, Monroe had been a source of inspiration for playwrights, filmmakers, and others looking to cash in on her tremendous impact. In The Immortal Marilyn: The Depiction of a...
