Much of Western Maine reads like a Stephen King novel. The dense dark woods and backcountry ponds. The century-old houses with gravel driveways and immense flower gardens, acres of farmland miles from a highway. Serpentine country roads dotted with farmstands, and picturesque main streets lined...

Bien qu'Erik Satie soit principalement reconnu pour son œuvre de compositeur et pianiste, ses écrits poétiques sont à l'image de sa musique : souvent courts, empreints d'un humour absurde et d'une grande sensibilité mélancolique. La voix profonde et le timbre captivant de François Marthouret, se mêle ici aux harmonies délicates du piano de Christiane Gugger. La complicité sensible entre l'acteur et de la pianiste, souligne toute la musicalité et l'inattendu de ces écrits iconoclastes signés par l'un des plus grands précurseurs de son époque.

José Martí (1853–1895) was the founding hero of Cuban independence. In all of modern Latin American history, arguably only the “Great Liberator” Simón Bolívar rivals Martí in stature and legacy. Today he is revered by both the Castro regime and the Cuban exile community, whose shared veneration of the “apostle” of freedom has led to his virtual apotheosis as a national saint.

L'entusiasmo davanti al tabellone delle partenze alla stazione di Porta Nuova. Le fragole con panna ma senza fragole. Le barzellette sugli zombie. La scuola. I pomeriggi al parco. Paolo Nori rievoca episodi e momenti dell'infanzia di sua figlia (è lei la "piccola Battaglia"): teneri, esilaranti e pieni di saggezza come quelli che solo i bambini sanno regalare. Il flusso della memoria si dispiega ininterrotto in una serie di quadri scolpiti con l'inconfondibile stile di Nori, tra flusso di coscienza e humour, in questa edizione completamente rivista e aggiornata.

Tra il 2015 e il 2025, una voce femminile racconta il proprio itinerario tra relazioni amorose, amicizie, lavoro, impegno politico e ricerca di senso. La scrittura diventa spazio di resistenza: un luogo in cui il dolore può essere nominato, abitato, trasformato. Il racconto procede per frammenti. Non c'è una trama lineare, ma un mosaico emotivo che segue il ritmo dell'inevitabile cambiamento. Questo audiolibro esplora una domanda essenziale: può l'Altro colmare il vuoto interiore o è necessario riconoscersi protagonisti della propria vita?
