In love we find out who we want to be.In war we find out who we are.FRANCE, 1939In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesnt believe that the Nazis will invade France...but invade they do, in droves of marching soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When a German captain requisitions Viannes home, she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything. Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates all around them, she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive.Viannes sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old girl, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets Gaetan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only the young can...completely. But when he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance and never looks back, risking her life time and again to save others.With courage, grace and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the womens war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France--a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

"A tragedy backlist by beauty." "-- Daily Express""For Fitzgerald desolation is a precondition of the lyrical. Hence the most distinctive impression of Tender: A beautiful novel about failure." "-- Independent""It is one of those books that you read and feel a shift... the story is told so poetically and eloquently. It is one of those books that you read and think: if I could only remember that sentence -- it is so beautiful." "--" Sam Taylor-Wood

A pesar da súa brevidade é unha obra moi grande.

Humanity has colonized the planets - interstellar travel is still beyond our reach, but the solar system has become a dense network of colonies. But there are tensions - the mineral-rich outer planets resent their dependence on Earth and Mars and the political and military clout they wield over the Belt and beyond.Now, when Captain Jim Holden''s ice miner stumbles across a derelict, abandoned ship, he uncovers a secret that threatens to throw the entire system into war. Attacked by a stealth ship belonging to the Mars fleet, Holden must find a way to uncover the motives behind the attack, stop a war and find the truth behind a vast conspiracy that threatens the entire human race.

Commento a cura di Giovanni Fallani e Silvio ZennaroIntroduzione di Italo BorziEdizione integraleCento canti di altissima poesia: la Divina Commedia e considerata il primo testo della letteratura italiana. Lopera immortale del nostro sommo poeta e qui presentata in unedizione che riproduce il testo critico secondo lultima vulgata stabilita da Giorgio Petrocchi. Il primo a definire Divina la Commedia di Dante fu Boccaccio; il titolo Divina Commedia risulta per la prima volta in una edizione del 1555. Il senso del viaggio dantesco nelloltretomba puo essere rintracciato nella discussa Epistola a Cangrande della Scala al quale lautore dedica il Paradiso: Dante spiega di aver voluto mostrare agli uomini che lunico modo per elevarsi dalla loro condizione di peccatori e per conquistare verita e salvezza e affidarsi al retto uso della ragione. Un viaggio allegorico attraverso cui il poeta, e con lui lumanita tutta, riesce ad abbandonare la selva oscura della propria miseria per rendersi degno di attingere al divino.

Kathy, Ruth and Tommy were pupils at Hailsham -an idyllic establishment situated deep in the English countryside. The children there were tenderly sheltered from the outside world, brought up to believe they were special, and that their personal welfare was crucial. But for what reason were they really there? Its only years later that Kathy, now aged thirty-one, finally allows herself to yield to the pull of memory. What unfolds is the haunting story of how Kathy, Ruth and Tommy slowly come to face the truth about their seemingly happy childhoods -and about their futures.

I bought this book in need of something that would not lead to heavy introspection or stressing over the state of the world. What a wonderful, accidental choice it was! Paul Aster launches into a tall tale full of unique, peculiar and sympathetic characters who attempt and achieve amazing things. Told as a 1st-person narrative, the protagonist chronicles his life, starting in the 1920s as an 11-year-old guttersnipe in St. Louis who is approached by a man in a tuxedo and top-hat who promises that if the boy accompany him and submit to his instruction, he will be taught to fly by his 13ths birthday...if not, the man swears ...

Zaharra da Altzerreka, erreka-bazter ainube batean dagoen baserria. Zaharra bertako seme Henry, urte luzez Ameriketan artzain ibilia, zangoa anputatu ziotenez geroztik ohean datzana. Zaharra da Sabina Gojenola ere, koinatu elbarria eta etxaldea egoskorkeriaz gobernatzen dituen alarguna. Seme-alabek egunerokoa erraztu nahi dioten arren, uko egiten dio modernitateari, erosotasunari, inork ezarritako arrastoan sartzeari... Behiekin, ardiekin, txakurrekin, katuekin bat egiten du ondoen Sabinak, animaliei baizik ez die gozotasunik adierazten. Etxekoekin dena du errezeloa, ika-mika eta tentsioa; auzoekin, dena liskar eta norgehiagoka. Mundu ikuskera baten akabera kontatzen digu Miren Amurizak, modu zehatz eta indartsuan, pertsonaia baten eta gizarte eredu hil-hurren baten erretratu gordin bezain fidela eskainiz, hizkuntza malguz eta estilo sendoz.
