Il Natale di Pettson / Sven Nordqvist ; traduzione di Samanta K. Milton Knowles

[Monselice] : Camelozampa, 2023

Abstract: È l’antivigilia di Natale e da Pettson e Findus fervono i preparativi. Ma mentre raccolgono rametti di abete per le decorazioni, Pettson si sloga la caviglia. Come faranno adesso a festeggiare il Natale, senza albero, senza prosciutto, polpette e pan di zenzero? Findus cerca di darsi da fare ma senza grandi risultati. Sembra che sarà un Natale piuttosto triste, ma poi i vicini cominciano a bussare alla porta… Una meravigliosa storia di gentilezza e condivisione, su come il Natale può tirare fuori il meglio dalle persone - e dai gatti, naturalmente! Età di lettura: da 4 anni.

Povere creature! / Alasdair Gray ; traduzione di Sara Caraffini ; prefazione di Enrico Terrinoni ; illustrazioni di Alasdair Gray

Pordenone : Safarà, 2023

Abstract: Chi è veramente Bella Baxter, giovane donna ritrovata nelle fredde acque del Clyde nella Glasgow tardovittoriana e riconsegnata alla vita grazie agli oscuri esperimenti di Godwin Baxter, tormentato genio della chirurgia? Sarà arduo, quasi impossibile, dare una risposta, perché Bella è molto più della donna che è stata: oggetto di folli passioni amorose, la vedremo attraversare la sua epoca passando per salotti austeri, casinò decadenti e bordelli parigini, con lo stupore di chi per la prima volta vede il mondo nella sua prodigiosa follia, incarnando – con il medesimo desiderio che desta al suo passaggio – i più alti ideali umani, senza mai smettere di suscitare scandalo per l’oltraggio più grave di tutti: vivere un’esistenza radicalmente libera. Da questo romanzo, il nuovo film di Yorgos Lanthimos prodotto da Searchlight pictures. Prefazione di Enrico Terrinoni.

Casa dolce casa / Ana Reyes ; traduzione di Elena Cantoni

Milano : Feltrinelli, 2023

Narratori Feltrinelli

Abstract: Scelto da Reese Witherspoon per il suo bookclub, un giallo in cui c’è tutto ciò che un lettore sogna: un narratore inaffidabile, una protagonista in crisi di astinenza, sette anni di ricerca della verità e molti depistaggi. Ma è anche una potente storia sull’amicizia femminile, la lealtà, l’amore materno e il nostro impulso irrefrenabile di risolvere i segreti, anche quando fa male. Abbiamo tutti bisogno di una casa in cui tornare. Almeno due donne sono morte misteriosamente in compagnia dello stesso uomo, Frank. Maya ha solo diciassette anni quando vede morire la sua migliore amica, Aubrey: un attimo prima stava parlando con il ragazzo più affascinante ed enigmatico di Pittsfield, Massachusetts, per cui Maya ha un’irresistibile cotta, e l’attimo dopo è a terra. Nessuna arma né veleno né contatto, solo l’orribile sospetto che il colpevole sia Frank. Sette anni dopo, Maya sta cercando di ricostruirsi una vita altrove quando, una notte, il passato ritorna. In un video virale assiste a una scena identica: una donna muore di colpo accanto a un Frank solo un po’ più vecchio. Era proprio lui, dunque, l’assassino di Aubrey? I dubbi la tormentano, insieme a una potente crisi di astinenza da benzodiazepine, che Maya assume da anni contro l’ansia e l’insonnia. Nella sua mente, oltre al pensiero dell’amica e di Frank, si affaccia insistente l’immagine di una casa nel bosco, accanto a un torrente che sembra incantarla con il suo gorgoglio. Ma cosa è successo davvero quel giorno? Qual è il confine tra i suoi ricordi confusi e la realtà? È arrivato il momento di avventurarsi in quel bosco, di tornare a casa.

1984 and Animal Farm / George Orwell

London : Collins, 2021

Collins classics

Abstract: Two modern classics in one volume. George Orwell is one of the finest and most influential writers of the twentieth century. Here in one volume, are two of his best-known works of electrifying political fiction, 1984 and Animal Farm. Winston Smith rewrites history. It's his job. Hidden away in the Ministry of Truth, he helps the Party and the omnipresent Big Brother control the people of Oceania. But a seed of rebellion has begun to grow in Winston's heart - one that could have devastating consequences. The animals of Manor Farm have tired of Farmer Jones. When the boar, Old Major, shares his revolutionary plans, the animals are convinced they can thrive on their own. But as the pigs vie for power, they begin to bear an uncanny resemblance to the very tyrants they had overthrown ... Captivating readers since the mid-twentieth century, the enduring popularity of 1984 and Animal Farm are testament to Orwell's powerful, prophetic prose.

London : Little, brown books for young readers, 2020

Abstract: Once upon a time there was a tiny kingdom called Cornucopia, as rich in happiness as it was in gold, and famous for its food. From the delicate cream cheeses of Kurdsburg to the Hopes-of-Heaven pastries of Chouxville, each was so delicious that people wept with joy as they ate them. But even in this happy kingdom, a monster lurks. Legend tells of a fearsome creature living far to the north in the Marshlands... the Ickabog. Some say it breathes fire, spits poison, and roars through the mist as it carries off wayward sheep and children alike. Some say it's just a myth... And when that myth takes on a life of its own, casting a shadow over the kingdom, two children - best friends Bert and Daisy - embark on a great adventure to untangle the truth and find out where the real monster lies, bringing hope and happiness to Cornucopia once more.

Kudos / Rachel Cusk

London : Faber & Faber, 2019

Abstract: Author of the Booker-longlisted novel Second Place 'A landmark in twenty-first-century English literature.' Andrew Anthony, Observer 'Kudos is one of the most astoundingly original and necessary books I've ever read. It made me laugh, think and cry . . . I envy anyone who hasn't read it yet.' Julie Myerson, Guardian A woman on a plane listens to the stranger in the seat next to hers telling her the story of his life: his work, his marriage, and the harrowing night he has just spent burying the family dog. That woman is Faye, who is on her way to Europe to promote the book she has just published. Once she reaches her destination, the conversations she has with the people she meets - about art, about family, about politics, about love, about sorrow and joy, about justice and injustice - include the most far-reaching questions human beings ask. These conversations, the last of them on the phone with her son, rise dramatically and majestically to a beautiful conclusion. Following the novels Outline and Transit, Kudos completes Rachel Cusk's trilogy with overwhelming power.
