La lingua di Ana. Chi sei, quando perdi radici e parole?
br. Ana, la protagonista di questa vicenda, è un'adolescente moldova catapultata in Italia che improvvisamente si rende conto di non sapersi esprimere totalmente né in italiano né in moldavo. "C'è un detto secondo cui un uomo che parla due lingue vale due uomini. E quello che parla metà di una e metà di un'altra, vale un uomo? O ne vale mezzo?", si chiede Ana, un'adolescente moldova catapultata in Italia, nel momento in cui si rende conto di non sapersi esprimere totalmente né in italiano né in moldavo. Protagonista di questo libro è la lingua con il suo potere evocativo e al contempo alienante; la lingua che accoglie e respinge. L'incapacità di esprimersi si tramuta in difficoltà di esistere, ma con la possibilità di reinventarsi. Ana vive passo dopo passo il doloroso passaggio da una lingua all'altra, che non è un semplice cambio di simboli e significati, ma è una ricerca emozionale tra le ibridazioni dell'Io. "Forse non parlare e non capire una lingua è un po' come perdere uno dei cinque sensi. O forse, più probabilmente, è come perdere un pochino di ogni senso. Come se la realtà fosse percepita solo a metà e il resto andasse perso nella confusione. Inoltre, il mio non voler parlare era anche il mio non voler vivere qui, non volermi interessare di nulla e lasciare che il mondo se ne andasse per i fatti suoi, senza che io ne dovessi fare parte...". "Crescere sradicati, in un altro Paese, alieno, in una lingua sconosciuta, più che problemi umani provoca problemi sovrumani".

Le ferite del silenzio. Testimonianze sul genocidio del Rwanda
ill., ril. Dietro il silenzio delle vittime si nasconde la paura. Dietro i loro sguardi si nasconde la sofferenza quotidiana. Dietro questo silenzio si nasconde il dolore di ogni singola persona. Dietro il silenzio dei carnefici si nasconde la paura, diversa da quella che provano le vittime, poiché dietro il loro silenzio si nasconde il timore per la verità e la giustizia. Ho visto i traumi dei carnefici. Al solo pensiero, ne provo vergogna. Come vittima, non so se ho il diritto di commuovermi per la loro sofferenza, di cui sono gli unici responsabili.

I racconti del sasso
br. Una raccolta di racconti filosofico-favolistici che affronta alcuni degli argomenti più delicati della nostra società che, in un modo o nell'altro, accomunano ciascuno di noi, fino agli abissi della propria esistenza. Animali, alberi e personaggi stravaganti narrano vicende che possono sembrare assurde ma che, se analizzate con cura, riflettono i problemi della vita che ognuno di noi si ritrova, prima o poi, ad affrontare. Inteso come un viaggio, da compiersi adulti e bambini insieme, "I racconti del sasso" rappresenta un'analisi e un percorso, una grande storia fatta di piccoli tasselli che, alla fine del libro, apre una serie di riflessioni (mai banali) alle quali non possiamo che dedicarci con profondità e al contempo con quella delicatezza che il mondo delle favole porta da sempre con sé.

Max Havelaar ovvero Le aste del caffè della Società di Commercio olandese
br. "Faccio il sensale nel ramo del caffè, e abito in Lauriergracht n. 37". Con questo prosaico quanto memorabile incipit si apre il più grande classico della letteratura nederlandese, pubblicato nel 1860 esplodendo come una duplice bomba: come capolavoro letterario e come atto di accusa sociale. "Il libro che ha ucciso il colonialismo", sarà definito, e resta un'opera di sconvolgente modernità sia per la raffinata struttura narrativa, sia per la forza della denuncia dei misfatti di cui è costellata la storia dell'imperialismo occidentale. Chi parla è Batavus Droogstoppel, l'irresistibile affarista che incarna, col suo assoluto perbenismo, il reale cinismo e l'ipocrisia di un'Olanda troppo intenta a fare soldi per chiedersi da dove venga il suo benessere. Colpito dall'interesse di un fascio di manoscritti che si è trovato suo malgrado tra le mani, il buon sensale intende trarne un utile trattatello sulle aste del caffè nelle Indie Olandesi, ma è tutt'altro materiale che ne vedrà estrapolato, affidando la stesura al giovane Stern, romantico figlio di un ambito cliente tedesco, di ben diversa sensibilità. È la ricostruzione della vita di Max Havelaar, coraggioso e idealista funzionario a Giava, che si illude di riuscire a combattere i soprusi dei potenti locali e la connivenza dell'amministrazione coloniale e di rendere giustizia ai contadini vessati da entrambi.

Multinu Luisa
Mind the gap. Distanze londinesi
br. Ci si può innamorare di una persona, di un ideale e anche di una città. È quello che capita a Ida, una giovane laureata italiana, travolta da una sconfinata passione per Londra e per tutto quanto la capitale britannica rappresenta e contiene. Quasi mai, quando si ama con tale intensità, si è corrisposti nello stesso modo e così la metropoli inglese, dall'alto del suo fascino storico e multietnico, spesso si presenta con la sua faccia più crudele e spietata, che concede pochissime possibilità, da pagare a caro prezzo, a chi vuole davvero integrarsi. Tra lavori umilianti, colleghi poco solidali, superiori meschini, coinquilini cialtroni e rari sprazzi di umanità e di amicizia, Ida cerca a fatica di trovare la propria strada, per nulla disposta a rinunciare al suo sogno.

Moderatamente sbracato
br. Adrenalina, paura, insicurezza... Sono alcuni dei sentimenti che affiorano nel cuore di ogni ragazzo che accede alla carriera militare. Questa è la storia di uno di loro, Mattia. Appena diplomato si mette in cerca di un' occupazione ma scopre che la realtà del Sud Italia non offre ciò che lui sperava. Così, stufo del precariato e desideroso di viaggiare, decide di fuggire dalla monotonia della sua vita. Appone la sua firma sul contratto da VFP1, allontanandosi dalla fidanzata ed iniziando la sua esperienza da soldato. La vita sotto le armi lo mette a dura prova forgiandone il carattere, ma nonostante ciò, si renderà presto conto che nessun addestramento lo avrebbe preparato ad affrontare il gravoso ostacolo che lo aspetta...

«Io te l'avevo detto!». Diario di un ingiustizia non tutelata dall'interesse pubblico
brossura Mario, partito in giovane età dal suo paesino del nord della Sardegna, vive il resto della sua vita nella sua amata Basilicata. Coinvolto ingiustamente dalla giustizia contabile, che gli farà perdere la dirigenza, ripercorre la triste esperienza della sua vicenda lavorativa e della sofferenza vissuta dalla sua famiglia. Riesce a trovare la forza per confessare ai suoi amici d'infanzia tutte le sofferenze attraversate e le ingiustizie subite a causa di un complotto politico, pentito per aver trascurato per un decennio sua moglie e i figli, che a suo tempo gli avevano detto: "Io te l'avevo detto." Nutre il desiderio di vendetta... per riabilitarsi. La sofferenza e le umiliazioni ricevute non riescono a demolire la sua voglia di rialzarsi e rivivere il proseguo di una vita serena la cui forza proviene dall'amore per i suoi cari.
