Piangi pure di Lidia Ravera (Bompiani)

 

 

Iris ha 79 anni, una figlia intelligentissima e antipatica, che parla esclusivamente con Dio, e una nipote bellissima e ignorante, che trae vantaggio dalle passioni degli uomini. Vive sola ed è in ottima salute, ma quando, per risolvere una decorosa miseria ormai intollerabile, vende la nuda proprietà della casa in cui abita, incomincia a pensare alla morte. È perché ha scommesso sulla sua aspettativa di vita? Lo chiede a Carlo, lo psicoanalista che lavora al pianterreno e, da tre anni, prende il caffè con lei al bar di fronte. Carlo è una buona conoscenza, una consuetudine, quasi un amico. È lui che le consiglia di tenere un diario per contenere e disinnescare quei sintomi minacciosi, Iris esegue. Prima è cauta, racconta le sue paure per dominarle. Ma poi finisce per raccontare anche altro. E si scopre innamorata di Carlo. Anche questo è un sintomo, ma siamo portati a pensare che sia sintomo di una malattia giovanile. È così? Esiste una scadenza per l'eros, un inverno del nostro desiderio? Oppure è uno dei tanti stereotipi che ci obbligano a rinunciare alla vita? Contro ogni previsione Iris e Carlo vivranno la loro storia d'amore, impareranno a guardarsi l'un l'altra, e a guardare il tratto di strada che devono ancora percorrere, approfittando della luce più suggestiva. Quella del tramonto. Con "Piangi pure" Lidia Ravera racconta una storia struggente in cui l'età avanzata dei protagonisti diventa l'occasione per un rinnovato inno alla vita.

Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer

 

 

A New York Times Bestseller
A Washington Post Bestseller
A Los Angeles Times Bestseller
Named a "Best Essay Collection of the Decade" by Literary Hub
A Book Riot "Favorite Summer Read of 2020"
A Food Tank Fall 2020 Reading Recommendation

Updated with a new introduction from Robin Wall Kimmerer, the special edition of Braiding Sweetgrass, reissued in honor of the fortieth anniversary of Milkweed Editions, celebrates the book as an object of meaning that will last the ages. Beautifully bound with a new cover featuring an engraving by Tony Drehfal, this edition includes a bookmark ribbon, a deckled edge, and five brilliantly colored illustrations by artist Nate Christopherson. In increasingly dark times, we honor the experience that more than 350,000 readers in North America have cherished about the book―gentle, simple, tactile, beautiful, even sacred―and offer an edition that will inspire readers to gift it again and again, spreading the word about scientific knowledge, indigenous wisdom, and the teachings of plants.

As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on “a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise” (Elizabeth Gilbert).

Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, and as a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings―asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass―offer us gifts and lessons, even if we've forgotten how to hear their voices. In reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learn to give our own gifts in return.

Nine Nasty Words: English in the Gutter: Then, Now, and Forever by John McWhorter

 

 

One of the preeminent linguists of our time examines the realms of language that are considered shocking and taboo in order to understand what imbues curse words with such power--and why we love them so much.

Profanity has always been a deliciously vibrant part of our lexicon, an integral part of being human. In fact, our ability to curse comes from a different part of the brain than other parts of speech--the urgency with which we say "f&*k!" is instead related to the instinct that tells us to flee from danger.

Language evolves with time, and so does what we consider profane or unspeakable. Nine Nasty Words is a rollicking examination of profanity, explored from every angle: historical, sociological, political, linguistic. In a particularly coarse moment, when the public discourse is shaped in part by once-shocking words, nothing could be timelier.

Congo by Michael Crichton

 

 

In the heart of Africa, three intrepid adventurers are desperate to find the fabulous diamonds of the lost city of Zinj. They encounter the Kigani cannibals, flaming volcanoes and ferocious gorillas - and Amy, the cuddly gorilla who's fluent in sign language.

Libertie is a feat of monumental thematic imagination.”

Margaret Wilkerson Sexton, The New York Times Book Review

“This is one of the most thoughtful and amazingly beautiful books I’ve read all year. Kaitlyn Greenidge is a master storyteller.”
Jacqueline Woodson, author of Red at the Bone

The critically acclaimed and Whiting Award–winning author of We Love You, Charlie Freeman returns with Libertie, an unforgettable story about one young Black girl’s attempt to find a place where she can be fully, and only, herself.

Coming of age as a freeborn Black girl in Reconstruction-era Brooklyn, Libertie Sampson is all too aware that her purposeful mother, a practicing physician, has a vision for their future together: Libertie is to go to medical school and practice alongside her. But Libertie, drawn more to music than science, feels stifled by her mother’s choices and is hungry for something else—is there really only one way to have an autonomous life? And she is constantly reminded that, unlike her mother, who can pass, Libertie has skin that is too dark. When a young man from Haiti proposes to Libertie and promises she will be his equal on the island, she accepts, only to discover that she is still subordinate to him and all men. As she tries to parse what freedom actually means for a Black woman, Libertie struggles with where she might find it—for herself and for generations to come.

Inspired by the life of one of the first Black female doctors in the United States and rich with historical detail, Kaitlyn Greenidge’s new and immersive novel will resonate with readers eager to understand our present through a deep, moving, and lyrical dive into our complicated past.

Philip Roth: The Biography by Blake Bailey

 

 

The renowned biographer’s definitive portrait of a literary titan.

Appointed by Philip Roth and granted independence and complete access, Blake Bailey spent years poring over Roth’s personal archive, interviewing his friends, lovers, and colleagues, and engaging Roth himself in breathtakingly candid conversations. The result is an indelible portrait of an American master and of the postwar literary scene.

Bailey shows how Roth emerged from a lower-middle-class Jewish milieu to achieve the heights of literary fame, how his career was nearly derailed by his catastrophic first marriage, and how he championed the work of dissident novelists behind the Iron Curtain.

Bailey examines Roth’s rivalrous friendships with Saul Bellow, John Updike, and William Styron, and reveals the truths of his florid love life, culminating in his almost-twenty-year relationship with actress Claire Bloom, who pilloried Roth in her 1996 memoir, Leaving a Doll’s House.

Tracing Roth’s path from realism to farce to metafiction to the tragic masterpieces of the American Trilogy, Bailey explores Roth’s engagement with nearly every aspect of postwar American culture.

FACCE DA LECCE: 12 ritratti giallorossi dall'era Semeraro a oggi di Carmen Tommasi

 

 

Carla, giornalista sportiva innamorata del suo lavoro e appassionata di calcio, racconta dodici ritratti di vite vissute, di emozioni indimenticabili, di amore puro, di delusioni cocenti, di storie che si incrociano, che si perdono, che si distaccano con violenza e che, a volte, si rincontrano con più amore, o anche con più delusione, di prima. Tutti ritratti legati da due colori, il giallo e il rosso, quelli caldi e passionali della maglia del Lecce. Questi “personaggi” raccontati in chiave calcistica, umana e soprattutto giornalistica, hanno lasciato un segno nella storia dell’U.S. Lecce. Un segno indelebile tatuato, come l’inchiostro sulla pelle, anche nelle loro vite. Perché il calcio non è solo un gioco, ma può essere e diventare un percorso di vita. Partendo da Lecce, passando per Roma, con un pensiero a Perugia e con un piccolo passaggio per Bologna, per poi tornare ancora nel Salento, ma non solo.

Lecce style. Ediz. bilingue

 

 

Esiste un Lecce Style. Diverso dal Salento Style e dal Puglia Style. La Lecce di chi ha cercato palazzi da troppo tempo assopiti nelle pieghe del tempo e li ha risvegliati. Di chi ha scelto di “fare casa” in un convento, in una vecchia fabbrica di saponi, in un giardino. O di chi ha provato a salire dalla scala della servitù. Di chi si è innamorato di un intonaco scrostato, di un fregio dorato che aveva smesso di brillare, dello scorcio della statua di una Santa rubato da una finestra. Di chi ha assecondato il genius loci, ma lo ha accompagnato per mano. Di chi ha provato a capire cosa ci fosse sotto e attraverso e oltre. Un libro per raccontare quello che Lecce, da qualche anno, è diventata.

Sogni divenuti realtà. Le promozioni del Lecce in serie A

 

 

 Un viaggio nel tempo nella storia della squadra dell'U.S. Lecce. Nove vittorie, nove promozioni in Serie A raccontate dall'autore facendo vivere al lettore i sogni divenuti realtà della squadra salentina. Questo libro vuole ripercorrere nove momenti unici della vita dell'U.S. Lecce in un arco di tempo che va dalla metà degli Anni Ottanta sino all'ultima promozione del 2019. Un racconto che sprigiona i ricordi di quegli anni emozionanti e che fa conoscere meglio la storia giallorossa, attraverso i giocatori, le partite e gli aneddoti che hanno caratterizzato quelle stagioni.

Il mistero del silenzio di Vimala Thakar (Ubaldini)

Il pasto silenzioso. Un sociologo alla mensa dei monaci di Lucio Meglio (Carocci)

 

 

Il volume mostra come il silenzio rappresenti, innanzi tutto, un potente strumento di relazione sociale tra i membri di una comunità monastica, che ritrova il momento dell’unione attorno alla tavola eucaristica e a quella del refettorio; ma rivela anche che questa forma di vita suscita sempre più curiosità nella società di oggi, dove il turismo esperienziale è in continuo aumento. Il testo si compone di tre parti, complementari tra di loro. La prima conduce il lettore in un viaggio storico all’interno della sociologia dell’alimentazione monastica. La seconda presenta i risultati di una ricerca compiuta nel monastero certosino di Serra San Bruno (vv) assieme ad alcune interviste ai priori di vari ordini monastici. Infine, nella terza si riportano le interviste qualitative realizzate in occasione delle cene del silenzio organizzate dalle clarisse eremite di Fara in Sabina. Il percorso di riflessione proposto vuole tenere insieme i due aspetti analitici attraverso cui studiare il silenzio nei suoi risvolti sociologici: sia come modello relazionale, che ha origini specifiche nel mondo monastico, sia come genere di discorso in cui rintracciare nuove forme di ricerca della propria identità all’interno dell’iperconnesso mondo contemporaneo.

Il silenzio di Don DeLillo (Einaudi)

 

 

Manhattan, 2022. Una coppia è in volo verso New York, di ritorno dalla loro prima vacanza dopo la pandemia. In città, in un appartamento nell'East Side, li aspettano tre loro amici per guardare tutti insieme il Super Bowl: una professoressa di fisica in pensione, suo marito e un suo ex studente geniale e visionario. Una scena come tante, un quadro di ritrovata normalità. Poi, all'improvviso, non annunciato, misterioso: il silenzio. Tutta la tecnologia digitale ammutolisce. Internet tace. I tweet, i post, i bot spariscono. Gli schermi, tutti gli schermi, che come fantasmi ci circondano ogni momento della nostra esistenza, diventano neri. Le luci si spengono, un black-out avvolge nelle tenebre la città (o il mondo intero? Del resto come fare a saperlo?) L'aereo è costretto a un atterraggio di fortuna. E addio Super Bowl. Cosa sta succedendo? È l'inizio di una guerra, o la prima ondata di un attacco terroristico? Un incidente? O è il collasso della tecnologia su se stessa, sotto il proprio tirannico peso? È l'apparizione di un buco nero, l'aprirsi di una piega dello spazio e del tempo in cui le nostre vite scivolano inesorabilmente? Di certo c'è questo: era dai tempi di "Rumore bianco" che Don DeLillo non ci ricordava con tanta accecante precisione che viviamo, disperati e felici, in un mondo delilliano.

The Other Emily by Dean Koontz

 

 

Number one New York Times bestselling master of suspense Dean Koontz takes readers on a twisting journey of lost love, impossible second chances, and terrifying promises.

A decade ago, Emily Carlino vanished after her car broke down on a California highway. She was presumed to be one of serial killer Ronny Lee Jessup’s victims whose remains were never found.

Writer David Thorne still hasn’t recovered from losing the love of his life, or from the guilt of not being there to save her. Since then, he’s sought closure any way he can. He even visits regularly with Jessup in prison, desperate for answers about Emily’s final hours so he may finally lay her body to rest. Then David meets Maddison Sutton, beguiling, playful, and keenly aware of all David has lost. But what really takes his breath away is that everything about Maddison, down to her kisses, is just like Emily. As the fantastic becomes credible, David’s obsession grows, Maddison’s mysterious past deepens―and terror escalates.

Is she Emily? Or an irresistible dead ringer? Either way, the ultimate question is the same: What game is she playing? Whatever the risk in finding out, David’s willing to take it for this precious second chance. It’s been ten years since he’s felt this inspired, this hopeful, this much in love…and he’s afraid.

 

 

Hummingbird Lane by Carolyn Brown

 

 

The healing powers of art and friendship work together in this inspiring and heartwarming novel by New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown.

Ever since childhood, Emma Merrill and Sophia Mason were bound by a passion for painting. Like all young best friends, they promised to never lose touch. But the girls came from different worlds, and their paths diverged when Emma went to an elite college and Sophie worked her way through state school.

After a decade they’ve reconnected, both in a time of need. Emma has been struggling with depression since her college years, and she’s lost herself under the suffocating influence of her controlling and manipulative mother. Sophie, under pressure to prepare for an upcoming gallery show, whisks the fragile Emma away to a small artists’ colony in south Texas. It’s a raw and beautiful landscape where wildflowers bloom―and perhaps Emma can bloom there, too. In the company of such nurturing and creative strangers―especially Josh Corlen, the openhearted manager of the commune―Emma allows herself to breathe again.

For Sophie and Emma, it’s the perfect place for reflection and to finally share the secret burdens each has carried. Most of all it’s a chance to rediscover their true selves and to make good on the old promise that their friendship would last forever.

Key by key, Lettie’s life of impossible love, loss, and courage unfolds. It’s one that Caroline can now make right again as her own journey of self-discovery begins.

 

Malice by Heather Walter

 

 

A princess isn’t supposed to fall for an evil sorceress. But in this “bewitching and fascinating” (Tamora Pierce) retelling of “Sleeping Beauty,” true love is more than a simple fairy tale.
 
“Walter’s spellbinding debut is for all the queer girls and women who’ve been told to keep their gifts hidden and for those yearning to defy gravity.”—O: The Oprah Magazine

Once upon a time, there was a wicked fairy who, in an act of vengeance, cursed a line of princesses to die. A curse that could only be broken by true love’s kiss.

You’ve heard this before, haven’t you? The handsome prince. The happily ever after.

Utter nonsense.

Let me tell you, no one in Briar actually cares about what happens to its princesses. Not the way they care about their jewels and elaborate parties and charm-granting elixirs. I thought I didn’t care, either.

Until I met her.

Princess Aurora. The last heir to Briar’s throne. Kind. Gracious. The future queen her realm needs. One who isn’t bothered that I am Alyce, the Dark Grace, abhorred and feared for the mysterious dark magic that runs in my veins. Humiliated and shamed by the same nobles who pay me to bottle hexes and then brand me a monster. Aurora says I should be proud of my gifts. That she . . . cares for me. Even though a power like mine was responsible for her curse.

But with less than a year until that curse will kill her, any future I might see with Aurora is swiftly disintegrating—and she can’t stand to kiss yet another insipid prince. I want to help her. If my power began her curse, perhaps it’s what can lift it. Perhaps together we could forge a new world.

Nonsense again. Because we all know how this story ends, don’t we? Aurora is the beautiful princess. And I—

I am the villain.

Book One of the Malice Duology

 

The Galaxy, and the Ground Within by Becky Chambers

 

 

Return to the sprawling, Hugo Award-winning universe of the Galactic Commons to explore another corner of the cosmos—one often mentioned, but not yet explored—in this absorbing entry in the Wayfarers series, which blends heart-warming characters and imaginative adventure.

With no water, no air, and no native life, the planet Gora is unremarkable. The only thing it has going for it is a chance proximity to more popular worlds, making it a decent stopover for ships traveling between the wormholes that keep the Galactic Commons connected. If deep space is a highway, Gora is just your average truck stop.

At the Five-Hop One-Stop, long-haul spacers can stretch their legs (if they have legs, that is), and get fuel, transit permits, and assorted supplies. The Five-Hop is run by an enterprising alien and her sometimes helpful child, who work hard to provide a little piece of home to everyone passing through.

When a freak technological failure halts all traffic to and from Gora, three strangers—all different species with different aims—are thrown together at the Five-Hop. Grounded, with nothing to do but wait, the trio—an exiled artist with an appointment to keep, a cargo runner at a personal crossroads, and a mysterious individual doing her best to help those on the fringes—are compelled to confront where they’ve been, where they might go, and what they are, or could be, to each other.

 

The Girl and the Mountain by Mark Lawrence

 

 

The second novel in the thrilling and epic new fantasy series from the international bestselling author of Red Sister and Prince of Thorns.

On the planet Abeth there is only the ice. And the Black Rock.

For generations the priests of the Black Rock have reached out from their mountain to steer the fate of the ice tribes. With their Hidden God, their magic and their iron, the priests’ rule has never been questioned. But when ice triber Yaz challenged their authority, she was torn away from the only life she had ever known, and forced to find a new path for herself.

Yaz has lost her friends and found her enemies. She has a mountain to climb, and even if she can break the Hidden God’s power, her dream of a green world lies impossibly far to the south, across a vast emptiness of ice. Before the journey can even start, she has to find out what happened to the ones she loves and save those that can be saved.

Abeth holds its secrets close, but the stars shine brighter for Yaz and she means to unlock the truth.

The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L. Armentrout

 

 

Bow Before Your Queen Or Bleed Before Her…

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes book three in her Blood and Ash series.

She's been the victim and the survivor…

Poppy never dreamed she would find the love she’s found with Prince Casteel. She wants to revel in her happiness but first they must free his brother and find hers. It’s a dangerous mission and one with far-reaching consequences neither dreamed of. Because Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed. The true ruler of Atlantia. She carries the blood of the King of Gods within her. By right the crown and the kingdom are hers.

The enemy and the warrior…

Poppy has only ever wanted to control her own life, not the lives of others, but now she must choose to either forsake her birthright or seize the gilded crown and become the Queen of Flesh and Fire. But as the kingdoms’ dark sins and blood-drenched secrets finally unravel, a long-forgotten power rises to pose a genuine threat. And they will stop at nothing to ensure that the crown never sits upon Poppy’s head.

A lover and heartmate…

But the greatest threat to them and to Atlantia is what awaits in the far west, where the Queen of Blood and Ash has her own plans, ones she has waited hundreds of years to carry out. Poppy and Casteel must consider the impossible—travel to the Lands of the Gods and wake the King himself. And as shocking secrets and the harshest betrayals come to light, and enemies emerge to threaten everything Poppy and Casteel have fought for, they will discover just how far they are willing to go for their people—and each other.

And now she will become Queen…

 

The Last Watch by J. S. Dewes

 

 

The Expanse meets Game of Thrones in J. S. Dewes's fast-paced, sci-fi adventure The Last Watch, where a handful of soldiers stand between humanity and annihilation.

The Divide.

It’s the edge of the universe.

Now it’s collapsing―and taking everyone and everything with it.

The only ones who can stop it are the Sentinels―the recruits, exiles, and court-martialed dregs of the military.

At the Divide, Adequin Rake commands the Argus. She has no resources, no comms―nothing, except for the soldiers that no one wanted. Her ace in the hole could be Cavalon Mercer--genius, asshole, and exiled prince who nuked his grandfather's genetic facility for “reasons.”

She knows they’re humanity's last chance.

The Young Hemingway by Michael Reynolds

 

 

A National Book Award Finalist

"The Young Hemingway will entertain and surprise…It should rank as one of the best nonfiction books of the year." ―Los Angeles Times

Michael Reynolds recreates the milieu that forged one of America's greatest and most influential writers. He reveals the fraught foundations of Hemingway's persona: his father's self-destructive battle with depression and his mother's fierce independence and spiritualism. He brings Hemingway through World War I, where he was frustrated by being too far away from the action and glory, despite his being wounded and nursed to health by Agnes Von Kurowsky―the older woman with whom he fell terribly in love.
