APOKRIF NERETVA di SÁNDOR HALMOSI (I Quaderni del Bardo Edizioni di Stefano Donno)
“Se
c'è molta luce, possiamo fingere di non vedere./ C'è tantissima luce.
Non possiamo fingere di non vedere.” // Il raffinato discorso poetico
di Sándor Halmosi si fa sempre più fibroso, le sue “schegge” appaiono
nei luoghi più inaspettati, altre volte il corpo pulsante della poesia è
lacerato e incrinato. Basta toccarne la superficie, per percepire la
nostra “vita patchwork”. Ne trarremo il meglio, se ci ferisce. In ogni
poesia c'è uno spazio vuoto che appartiene solo a noi, al lettore. Il
marchio distintivo di Halmosi è una percezione del mondo sottilmente
moderna e spirituale. Una poesia precisa che misura in modo affidabile
la densità angelica. (András Visky)

Maame (ma-meh) has many meanings in Twi, but in my case, it means woman.
Meet Maddie Wright.
All her life, she's been told who she is. To her Ghanaian parents, she's Maame: the one who takes care of the family. Her mum's stand-in. The primary carer for her father, who suffers from Parkinson's. The one who keeps the peace - and the secrets.
It's time for her to speak up.
When she finally gets the chance to leave home, Maddie is determined to become the kind of woman she wants to be. One who wears a bright yellow suit, dates men who definitely aren't on her mum's list of prospective husbands, and stands up to her boss's microaggressions. Someone who doesn't have to google all her life choices.
But when tragedy strikes, Maddie is forced to face the risks - and rewards - of putting her heart on the line.
But will it take losing everything to find her voice?
As blisteringly funny and achingly relatable as its heroine, MAAME is an unforgettable coming-of-age story about finally finding where you belong.

Elezione al rango di contemplatore della luna di Danilo Di Prinzio (I Quaderni del Bardo Edizioni di Stefano Donno)
I
racconti presenti nella raccolta sono come elisir preparati con stelle
frantumate nel mortaio del cervello. Bevande capaci di trasportare il
lettore verso quella sottesa trascendenza a cui i personaggi nella loro
semplicità cercano di aspirare.
Danilo Di Prinzio è nato nel
1972 a Guardiagrele, antico borgo alle pendici della Majella, Danilo
dice di aver bruciato una laurea in filosofia prima di iniziare a
lavorare per un’impresa di costruzioni, lavoro durante il quale
approfitta delle pause per scrivere; ha pubblicato i suoi racconti e
poesie presso varie riviste letterarie.
"Cause Unknown": The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022 (Children’s Health Defense) by Ed Dowd and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
What is killing healthy young Americans?
2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine
during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to
initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021,
the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica
insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth
quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent
higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of
the deaths were not attributed to COVID.
A 40 percent increase
in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in
excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40
percent.
And therein lies a story—a story that starts with obvious questions:
- What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people?
- What has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living?
It isn’t COVID, of course, because we know that COVID is not a significant cause of death in young people. Various stakeholders opine about what could be causing this epidemic of unexpected sudden deaths, but “CAUSE UNKNOWN” doesn’t opine or speculate. The facts just are, and the math just is.
The book begins with a close look at the actual human reality behind the statistics, and when you see the people who are represented by the dry term Excess Mortality, it’s difficult to accept so many unexpected sudden deaths of young athletes, known to be the healthiest among us. Similarly, when lots of healthy teenagers and young adults die in their sleep without obvious reason, collapse and die on a family outing, or fall down dead while playing sports, that all by itself raises an immediate public health concern. Or at least it used to.
Ask yourself if you recall seeing these kinds of things occurring during your own life—in junior high? In high school? In college? How many times in your life did you hear of a performer dropping dead on stage in mid-performance? Your own life experience and intuition will tell you that what you’re about to see is not normal.

ANATOMIA DELLO STRAZZO: D’inciampi e altri sospiri di Nunzio Festa (I Quaderni del Bardo Edizioni di Stefano Donno)
Lo
“strazzo” è la distruzione del Carro Trionfale di cartapesta
omaggiante Maria Santissima della Bruna di Matera, protettrice di
Matera, che si ripete ogni 2 di luglio. La folla si tiene in
fermentazione. Attende il carro, deve distruggerlo. La base del Carro è
di legno e acciaio; il suo tessuto di pelle cangiante ogni anno,
appunto, è opera d'arte in cartapesta, sempre a tema Vangelo. La folla
fermenta, mentre aspetta quattro coppie di muli che portano la statua e
la sua base di grande pregio.

Love, Pamela: Her new memoir, taking control of her own narrative for the first time by Pamela Anderson
ACTRESS. ICON. ACTIVIST. Her story, in her voice, for the first time.
In
this honest, layered and unforgettable book that alternates between
storytelling and her own poetry, Pamela Anderson breaks the mould of the
celebrity memoir while taking back the tale that has been crafted about
her.
Her blond bombshell image was ubiquitous in
the 1990s. Discovered in the stands of a football game, she was
immediately rocket launched into fame, becoming Playboy's
favourite cover girl and an emblem of Hollywood glamour and sexuality.
But what happens when you lose grip on your own life - and the image the
notoriety machine creates for you is not who you really are?
Growing
up on Vancouver Island, the daughter of young, wild, and unprepared
parents, Pamela Anderson's childhood was not easy, but it allowed her to
create her own world-surrounded by nature and imaginary friends. When
she overcame her deep shyness and grew into herself, she fell into a
life on the cover of magazines, the beaches of Malibu, the sets of
movies and talk shows, the arms of rockstars, the coveted scene at the
Playboy Mansion. And as her star rose, she found herself tabloid fodder,
at the height of an era when paparazzi tactics were bent on capturing a
celebrity's most intimate, and sometimes weakest moments. This is when
Pamela Anderson lost control of her own narrative, hurt by the media and
fearful of the public's perception of who she was . . . and who she
wasn't.
Fighting back with a sense of grace, fuelled by a love of
art and literature, and driven by a devotion to her children and the
causes she cares about most, Pamela Anderson has now gone back to the
island where she grew up, after a memorable run starring as Roxie in Chicago on Broadway, reclaiming her free spirit but also standing firm as a strong, creative, confident woman.
'The iconic Anderson uses a mixture of poetry and prose to present an impressionistic view of a fascinating life' Booklist

A Life in Poetry di Bruce Hunter (I Quaderni del Bardo Edizioni di Stefano Donno)
Bruce Hunter: la ricostruzione in poesia di frantumi di vita e di storia - Bruce Hunter, un’identità letteraria poliedrica, frutto dell’incontro tra molteplici richiami storici misti a un interesse tangibile per la quotidianità, secondo una prospettiva didattica volta all’osservazione puntuale. Attraverso innumerevoli apparizioni antologiche di poesia e anche di prosa, l’autore canadese intende ricercare gli indizi e riunire i tasselli di esperienze presenti e passate in frantumi. Simili ricordi di vita e di storia altrui vengono resi sulla pagina mediante una voce sommessa, proiettata alla valorizzazione, pur nella concisione di una rappresentazione scritturale che non manca mai di essere attenta alla frammentarietà più profonda, insita in quelle stesse schegge di memoria. (Angela Caputo)
The Bill of Obligations: The Ten Habits of Good Citizens by Richard Haass
A provocative guide to how we must reenvision citizenship if American democracy is to survive
The United States faces dangerous threats from Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, terrorists, climate change, and future pandemics. The greatest peril to the country, however, comes not from abroad but from within, from none other than ourselves. The question facing us is whether we are prepared to do what is necessary to save our democracy.
The Bill of Obligations is a bold call for change. In these pages, New York Times bestselling author Richard Haass argues that the very idea of citizenship must be revised and expanded. The Bill of Rights is at the center of our Constitution, yet our most intractable conflicts often emerge from contrasting views as to what our rights ought to be. As former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer pointed out, “Many of our cases, the most difficult ones, are not about right versus wrong. They are about right versus right.” The lesson is clear: rights alone cannot provide the basis for a functioning, much less flourishing, democracy.
But there is a cure: to place obligations on the same footing as rights. The ten obligations that Haass introduces here are essential for healing our divisions and safeguarding the country’s future. These obligations reenvision what it means to be an American citizen. They are not a burden but rather commitments that we make to fellow citizens and to the government to uphold democracy and counter the growing apathy, anger, selfishness, division, disinformation, and violence that threaten us all. Through an expert blend of civics, history, and political analysis, this book illuminates how Americans can rediscover and recover the attitudes and behaviors that have contributed so much to this country’s success over the centuries.
As Richard Haass argues, “We get the government and the country we deserve. Getting the one we need, however, is up to us.” The Bill of Obligations gives citizens across the political spectrum a plan of action to achieve it.

LA MORTE UMANIZZATA: SHINIGAMI E TRISTI MIETITORI (Miti e leggende sulla morte) di Mario Contino (I Quaderni del Bardo Edizioni di Stefano Donno)
In
un contesto particolare, come quello del XXI secolo, dove accanto a
posizioni scettiche legate a un’imperante secolarizzazione, resta viva
la speranza che la morte non sia la fine di tutto, l’idea di riprendere e
approfondire il tema della morte, in questo lavoro fatto da Mario
Contino, diventa non solo prezioso, ma addirittura coraggioso. Un
percorso graduale e fatto nei dovuti modi che partendo dal naturale
approccio scientifico alla morte, si immerge progressivamente
nell’incantevole e prezioso mondo della tradizione, un mondo spesso
denso di verità più di quanto noi stessi possiamo immaginare...
Estratto dalla prefazione del Prof. Lamanna Cosimo
Quando
mesi fa Mario mi chiese di scrivere una postfazione in merito al suo
ultimo saggio, a dire il vero, credevo stesse scherzando. Sì, la morte è
un tema che non sempre viene affrontato con leggerezza, in quanto
spesso assume dei connotati negativi per chi ci pensa. Qualcosa di
triste, qualcosa di doloroso. Una perdita. Morte che sottintende
sofferenza. “La morte umanizzata” si apre con un riferimento necessario
al tema della morte dal punto di vista puramente fisiologico e
biologico: il corpo esanime si raffredda, si irrigidisce, il sangue
ristagna e successivamente comincia a decomporsi. Tutto è destinato a
terminare per poi rinascere nuovamente in un ciclo infinito...

the behaviours that no longer serve us, allowing us to step into the

not wish to carry into the future.

through emotional reactivity and core beliefs - you will never again
have to ask, "But where do I start?" How to Meet Your Self

comprehensive masterwork of self-understanding that will radically
transform your inner work and outer world.

Morte annunciata di un rompicoglioni: la tragica fine di Peppino Basile di Giuseppe Puppo (i Quaderni del Bardo Edizioni di Stefano Donno)
La notte del 14 giugno 2008, alla fine di un sabato memorabile, in cui era arrivato finanche il Papa, l’ultimo giorno di vita di Peppino Basile, nella periferia già quasi campagna di Ugento, un’auto è ferma nel buio, a fari spenti, vicino casa sua. A bordo, ci sono due sicari, che preparano i pugnali, aspettando che ritorni. In pochi minuti, si compie subito dopo la tragica fine, rimasta senza colpevoli, impunita, mistificata e dimenticata, del consigliere dell’Italia dei Valori, che aveva un sogno: “vedere questa terra crescere per il domani dei nostri figli”, senza ingiustizie, prevaricazioni, speculazioni economiche e politiche, e disastri ambientali. Una morte annunciata. Come quella di Santiago Nasar, il protagonista della storia vera romanzata da Gabriel Garcia Marquez, con cui Giuseppe Puppo traccia convergenze parallele incredibili. Non dimentica però di essere prima di tutto un giornalista, e basa tutte la sua ricostruzione su una meticolosa raccolta delle testimonianze di amici e conoscenti, sulla verifica delle fonti, e sui riscontri oggettivi. Fino alla fine, in cui, nell’appendice, come da inchiesta giornalistica apre nuovi scenari investigativi, fra l’altro rimasti in grande evidenza e forse oggi più che all’epoca di straordinaria attualità. Supermercati, strade, piazze, voci e volti, suoni, profumi e respiri, finanche le canzoni che manda il disk jockey della radio o della balera, inseriti in una normalità di routine a volte nostalgica, in una geografia dell’anima, fra i viaggi di emigrati sempre in procinto di tornare: al mare su cui galleggia il loro cuore, ai ricordi del sole che spacca le pietre, alle malinconie dei profumi d’autunno e al vento gelido del lento inverno salentino. Fino alle nuove realtà, perché poi su tutto prevale la voglia di riscatto, per riscuotere quei crediti che si aspettano, ma non arrivano, e si cercano allora nella politica, nell'aiutare chi ha bisogno, nel desiderio di combattere le ingiustizie, di indagare dove non si dovrebbe, per far emergere situazioni di illegalità e di sopraffazione. È in questa atmosfera complessa che si muove la figura semplice di Peppino Basile, che aspetta ancora non solo giustizia, ma pure dignità.
Giuseppe Puppo, 63 anni, giornalista di cronaca, attualità e cultura, per oltre trenta anni nel Nord Italia. Ha collaborato a quotidiani, settimanali e periodici nazionali. Ha scritto una dozzina di libri di inchieste e di approfondimenti, un romanzo, una raccolta di racconti, e sei opere teatrali. Tornato a Lecce, la sua città natale, fonda e dirige il quotidiano leccecronaca.it.

Good Boundaries and Goodbyes: Loving Others Without Losing the Best of Who You Are by Lysa TerKeurst
Relationships are wonderful . . . until they're not.
Join #1 New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst as she helps you stop the dysfunction of unhealthy relationships by showing you biblical ways to set boundaries--and, when necessary, say goodbye--without losing the best of who you are.
Is it unloving or selfish to set a boundary? Are Christians ever called to walk away from a relationship that’s no longer safe or sustainable? Lysa TerKeurst deeply understands these hard questions in the midst of relational struggles.
But after thousands of hours of counseling intensives and extensive theological research that transformed the way she defined healthy relationships, Lysa is now more committed than ever to loving people well without losing the best of who she is. She wants to help you do the same. In these pages Lysa will help you:
- Understand the five factors to remember when implementing healthy boundaries.
- Determine the appropriate amount of personal and emotional access someone has to you based on how responsible they'll be with that access.
- Stop being misled and emotionally paralyzed by wrongly interpreted or weaponized scriptures that perpetuate unhealthy dynamics in difficult relationships.
- Overcome the frustrating cycle of ineffective boundary-setting with realistic scripts and practical strategies to help you communicate, keep, and implement healthier patterns.
- Be equipped to say goodbye without guilt when a relationship has shifted from difficult to destructive and is no longer sustainable.
- Receive therapeutic wisdom you can trust directly from Lysa’s Christian counselor Jim Cress, who weighs in throughout the book.
You'll be relieved to learn that boundaries aren't just a good idea, they're a God idea.
