Questo sangue masticato

In his debut novel, Francesco Aloia comes to terms with the past and his family, keeping his grandmother Ada's teachings firmly in mind. After leaving home and finding his own path, he returns to the places of his childhood during a summer and confronts a particularly "overbearing" grandfather, Tanino 'e Bastimento, a man of honor who, after a couple of murders and many years in prison, after challenging a Camorra boss, now must face one final duel "in absentia"—this time with his grandson.

La cercacose: 44 (in)consueti oggetti da vicino e lontano

Come suggerisce il sottotitolo, il libro La cercacose contiene storie su 44 oggetti da vicino e lontano. La curiosa e variegata selezione, ordinata per temi, comprende sorprendenti chicche da tutto il mondo: stivali che arrivano dal Bhutan, mattonelle dai marciapiedi di Barcellona disegnate da Gaudí, bicchieri da vino dai Paesi Baschi, una spilla a forma di cuore da Sarajevo, espradrillas dai Pirenei, scarabei dall’antico Egitto, contenitori della spazzatura da New York, un pezzo del telo arancione proveniente dai The Floating Piers sul lago d’Iseo, un tintinnante drago sloveno, una mappa di Berlino Est e molti altri. Raccontando le storie di oggetti concreti, Ekaterina Petrova in realtà racconta anche dei luoghi da dove provengono – Küstendorf е Kathmandu, Lubiana e Louisiana, Belvedere e Bilbao, Selçuk e Central park – ponendoli contemporaneamente in un più ampio contesto linguistico, storico, antropologico e geografico. Astuta miscela fra diari di viaggio, saggi e racconti, i testi sono attentamente documentati e intessuti di aneddoti curiosi, ma inframmezzati dallo sguardo soggettivo dell’autrice, così come dalla sua personale biografia di viaggiatrice, traduttrice e cercacose. Elaborato artisticamente dall’occhio estetico di Lyuba Haleva, una delle più eminenti illustratrici bulgare contemporanee, l’impostazione grafica del libro è superba e con umorismo coglie l’anima e l’umore delle storie. In questo modo anche il libro stesso diventa un bell’oggetto carico di piacere e gioia, da leggere e rileggere, da avere e regalare.
