Amb a penes vint anys, Josep Pla accedeix als cercles socials de la Barcelona noucentista. Després d'abandonar els estudis de Medicina i començar Dret, prefereix nodrir-se dels estímuls que troba fora de les aules universitaries. Les suggeridores persones que coneix a l'Ateneu Barcelones l'indueixen a prendre consciencia de les seves inquietuds davant la vida. Per mitja d'un dietari, Pla retrata llavors tant el mon de l'Emporda del qual prove com el seu entorn a la gran capital, a partir d'una mirada que configura la seva personalitat.

This is where the dragons went. They lie ...not dead, not asleep, but ...dormant. And although the space they occupy isn't like normal space, nevertheless they are packed in tightly. They could put you in mind of a can of sardines, if you thought sardines were huge and scaly. And presumably, somewhere, there's a key...GUARDS! GUARDS! is the eighth Discworld novel - and after this, dragons will never be the same again!

"Lessico famigliare" e il libro di Natalia Ginzburg che ha avuto maggiori e piu duraturi riflessi nella critica e nei lettori. La chiave di questo romanzo e delineata gia nel titolo. Famigliare, perche racconta la storia di una famiglia ebraica e antifascista, i Levi, a Torino tra gli anni Trenta e i Cinquanta del Novecento. E Lessico perche le strade della memoria passano attraverso il ricordo di frasi, modi di dire, espressioni gergali. Scrive la Ginzburg: "Noi siamo cinque fratelli. Abitiamo in citta diverse, alcuni di noi stanno all'estero: e non ci scriviamo spesso. Quando c'incontriamo, possiamo essere, l'uno con l'altro, indifferenti, o distratti. Ma basta, fra noi, una parola. Basta una parola, una frase, una di quelle frasi antiche, sentite e ripetute infinite volte, nel tempo della nostra infanzia. Ci basta dire 'Non siamo venuti a Bergamo per fare campagna' o 'De cosa spussa l'acido cloridrico', per ritrovare a un tratto i nostri antichi rapporti, e la nostra infanzia e giovinezza, legata indissolubilmente a quelle frasi, a quelle parole".

Siamo in Sicilia, all'epoca del tramonto borbonico: e di scena una famiglia della piu alta aristocrazia isolana, colta nel momento rivelatore del trapasso di regime, mentre gia incalzano i tempi nuovi (dall'anno dell'impresa dei Mille di Garibaldi la storia si prolunga fino ai primordi del Novecento). Accentrato quasi interamente intorno a un solo personaggio, il principe Fabrizio Salina, il romanzo, lirico e critico insieme, ben poco concede all'intreccio e al romanzesco tanto cari alla narrativa dell'Ottocento. L'immagine della Sicilia che invece ci offre e un'immagine viva, animata da uno spirito alacre e modernissimo, ampiamente consapevole della problematica storica e politica contemporanea.

"Eboli - dicono i lucani tra cui Levi fu mandato al confino dal fascismo - e l'ultimo paese di cristiani. Cristiano e uguale a uomo. Nei paesi successivi, i nostri, non si vive da cristiani, ma da animali". Dice Italo Calvino in uno dei due testi che introducono questo volume: "La peculiarita di Carlo Levi sta in questo: che egli e il testimone della presenza di un altro tempo all'interno del nostro tempo, e l'ambasciatore d'un altro mondo all'interno del nostro mondo. Possiamo definire questo mondo il mondo che vive fuori della nostra storia di fronte al mondo che vive nella storia. Naturalmente questa e una definizione esterna, e, diciamo, la situazione di partenza dell'opera di Carlo Levi: il protagonista di "Cristo si e fermato a Eboli" e un uomo impegnato nella storia che viene a trovarsi nel cuore di un Sud stregonesco, magico, e vede che quelle che erano per lui le ragioni in gioco qui non valgono piu, sono in gioco altre ragioni, altre opposizioni nello stesso tempo piu complesse e piu elementari".
