Unappassionante storia di coraggio ed emancipazione femminile ambientata in un paesino del Sud tra gli anni 30 e gli anni 60. Salento, giugno 1934. Nella piazza principale di Lizzanello, dove vivono poche migliaia di anime, si ferma un autobus da cui scende una coppia, Carlo e Anna. Carlo, figlio del Sud emigrato al Nord, e contento di essere tornato a casa, mentre Anna ha uno sguardo pensieroso e preoccupato perche sa di essere arrivata in una terra che non le appartiene. Anna e quella diversa, e la forestiera che non si adatta alle regole che imprigionano le donne del Sud: non va in chiesa, dice sempre quello che pensa ed e determinata a vivere la sua vita senza condizionamenti. Trascorso un anno dal suo arrivo, Anna fa qualcosa di impensabile ed estremamente rivoluzionario: si iscrive al concorso per entrare alle Poste. Una postina donna non si e mai vista in paese, ma Anna sorprende tutti, vince il concorso e inizia a lavorare come portalettere. La notizia stravolge Lizzanello e fa storcere il naso a tutti quei pettegoli, uomini e donne, che dicono che Anna non durera. Anna lavorera invece per ventanni consegnando lettere, cartoline e messaggi. Diventera un filo invisibile che unisce le vite di tutti i paesani e inconsciamente - ma soprattutto senza che nessuno lo voglia - cambiera molte cose. Accanto ad Anna, in tutti questi anni, il fedele marito Carlo che non ha mai smesso di sostenerla e amarla, e Antonio, fratello inseparabile di Carlo, innamorato di lei da sempre. A fare da sfondo alle vicende della famiglia Greco e di Anna, gli eventi drammatici della Seconda Guerra Mondiale e i movimenti femministi.

One of the comedy world''s brightest new voices, Trevor Noah is a light-footed but sharp-minded observer of the absurdities of politics, race and identity, sharing jokes and insights drawn from the wealth of experience acquired in his relatively young life. As host of the US hit show The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, he provides viewers around the globe with their nightly dose of biting satire, but here Noah turns his focus inward, giving readers a deeply personal, heartfelt and humorous look at the world that shaped him. Noah was born a crime, son of a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother, at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents'' indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the first years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, take him away.A collection of eighteen personal stories, Born a Crime tells the story of a mischievous young boy growing into a restless young man as he struggles to find his place in a world where he was never supposed to exist. Born a Crime is equally the story of that young man''s fearless, rebellious and fervently religious mother - a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence and abuse that ultimately threatens her own life.Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Noah illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and an unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a personal portrait of an unlikely childhood in a dangerous time, as moving and unforgettable as the very best memoirs and as funny as Noah''s own hilarious stand-up. Born a Crime is a must read.
