Die Familie Thomas Mann hat ein Haus am Tegernsee gemietet. Die Kinder schwimmen und angeln Rotaugen, der Vater rudert, geht spazieren und besteigt erstmals einen Berg, die Mutter kümmert sich um das neue Baby, und Bauschan, der Hund, döst im Schatten, während ihn Thomas Mann gerade zum Helden seiner Erzählung »Herr und Hund« macht. Den Schriftsteller plagen Sorgen. Die deutsche Niederlage im Ersten Weltkrieg steht bevor, Revolution liegt in der Luft, und mit seinem antidemokratischen Manifest »Betrachtungen eines Unpolitischen« sitzt Thomas Mann historisch auf dem falschen Dampfer.

«Una notte ho sognato un demone che mangiava i libri di casa mia.» E al risveglio, questo sogno diventa per l'autore un rovello: un ipotetico demone come sceglierebbe i titoli da aggredire? E quali sarebbe necessario salvare? Ma la cosa più importante che fanno i classici è renderci la vita insieme più intensa e più semplice, insegnandoci senza averne l'aria lezioni importantissime: cos'è l'identità, cos'è la politica, come si forma la coscienza di un popolo – e come esplode la sua ribellione.

Makoto Saigo is half-American and half-Japanese in small-town Japan with a set of talents limited to playing guitar and picking fights. With rock stardom off the table, he turns toward the only place where you can start from the bottom and move up through sheer merit, loyalty, and brute force―the yakuza. Saigo, nicknamed “The Tsunami”, quickly realizes that even within the organization, opinions are as varied as they come, and a clash of philosophies can quickly become deadly. One screw-up can cost you your life, or at least a finger.

Di cosa è fatta la bellezza di una casa, se non della vita di chi la abita? Ma quando accade che un intero popolo si trovi all'improvviso espropriato delle sue dimore, la domanda che passa, amara, di bocca in bocca è soltanto una: che fine fa quella bellezza, e che fine fa l'anima di chi in quelle case, in quei palazzi, in quei giardini, ci ha vissuto, ci ha pianto e ci ha gioito, per una vita intera? Questa storia ha inizio nel 1948, quando gli inglesi, partendo da Israele, lasciarono due popoli in lotta.

"Soudain, j'entends le vrombissement strident des moteurs de l'appareil qui s'approche à toute allure. À peine ai-je le temps de me tourner vers la fenêtre qu'un impact d'une violence inouïe ébranle le bâtiment. Une seconde, deux secondes, l'onde de choc descend des étages supérieurs, la tour oscille très violemment des tableaux se renversent, une statuette en marbre vacille, mon fauteuil avance et recule sur ses roulettes. Trois secondes, derrière les fenêtres un déluge sans fin de morceaux d'avion, de poutrelles d'aluminium, de verre, de débris, de kérosène, de feu, des corps peut-être, dégringolent devant nos yeux médusés..."

Unbeknownst to him, his assigned class, 4-217, was the designated "dumping ground" for all fourth-grade problem cases, and his students would prove to be more challenging than he could ever anticipate. Intent on being a caring, dedicated teacher but confronted with unruly children, absent parents, and a failing administration, Dan was pushed to the limit time and again: he found himself screaming with rage, punching his fist through a blackboard out of sheer frustration, often just wanting to give up and walk away.
