This quintessential coming-of-age novel describes the early life of Stephen Dedalus. It is set in Ireland during the 19th century, which was a time of emerging Irish nationalism and conservative Catholicism. Highly autobiographical in nature, the work is also notable for its being the first one in which Joyce uses innovative “stream of consciousness” writing style. A Portrait... follows Stephen Dedalus from his babyhood into early adulthood.

Luca attende la maggiore età andando malvolentieri a scuola, è iscritto all'alberghiero perché vuole un futuro lontano dal padre operaio che sta perdendo la battaglia in difesa dell'occupazione.

Le sue piroette non si limitano allo shaker, ama il parkour e si allena nei giardini pubblici insieme agli amici. È una pratica che gli dona felicità, seppure momentanea.

In Tutte le nostre maledizioni, Tamara Tenenbaum, scrittrice e filosofa femminista argentina, autrice de La fine dell’amore, racconta la vita di una ragazza nata e cresciuta nella comunità ebreo-ortodossa a Buenos Aires e da essa più o meno fuoriuscita. Dipinge piccole storie, vite riassunte in tre, quattro righe, mentre va avanti o ristagna quella della protagonista: una bambina, poi ragazza, poi adulta, che prova a pensare da sé. Persino la morte del padre, ucciso in un attentato, è elaborata con poche, precise parole, anch’esse lontane dai percorsi canonici del lutto.

And then there’s the third option: Someone or something forces them apart. Look, the third option isn’t happening to us. I will end the bastard who thinks he can keep me from her.

BRIAR - I was infatuated with Asher Kelley the moment he came tumbling through my brother’s window five years ago. Even bruised and bloodied, he was the most beautiful boy I'd ever seen. We couldn't ever be together. I was too young, and he was too untouchable. He was too troubled, and I was too naive.

The adolescent Christopher and his soul mate, Toni, had sneered at the stifling ennui of Metroland, their cosy patch of suburbia on the Metropolitan line. They had longed for Life to begin - meaning Sex and Freedom - to travel and choose their own clothes. Then Chris, at 30, starts to settle comfortably into bourgeois contentment himself. Luckily, Toni is still around to challenge such backsliding.

"Questo breve e intenso primo libro di Erri De Luca porta già impressi in ogni frase - mi sembra - i segni di un vero scrittore: un tono di voce che appena si coglie diventa inconfondibile, e la integrità di uno sguardo che sa mettere nel giusto fuoco i pensieri e i sentimenti. Qui la memoria non è consolazione, ma è un dramma, e il tempo gioca un suo gioco crudele stabilendo distanze insormontabili tra chi narra e la materia del proprio racconto. Una luce bianca e densa come quella che filtra da nuvole alte bagna queste pagine.

I wouldn't say I ran away exactly - 22 is too old for that. I'd call it self-preservation. I have one objective: protect my heart from the boy next door who has no clue I've loved him my whole life, even with a front row seat to his revolving bedroom door. My escape plan almost worked. Except I left one thing behind. Logan Carter hijacked my heart, and it's time to get it back. This time for good.

She’s my best friend, but she doesn’t realize she owns my f--king heart and soul, too.

Kieran's love life didn't get off to a good start.

By the time the hormones kicked in, Kieran had all but given up on love, but the worst was yet to come.
