Story
"Ho fatto male a comperare questo quaderno, malissimo. Ma ormai è troppo tardi per rammaricarmene, il danno è fatto": con queste parole inizia il suo diario Valeria Cossati, la protagonista di questo romanzo, una donna della classe media nell'Italia degli anni Cinquanta. Poco più di quarant'anni, due figli grandi, un marito disattento, un lavoro d'ufficio che svolge senza apparente passione, Valeria è assorbita dal ritmo "naturale" della quotidianità piccolo-borghese, schiacciata, senza quasi rendersene conto, tra i suoi ruoli di moglie, madre, impiegata.

Story
La lingua batte dove il dente duole, e il dente che duole alla fin fine è sempre lo stesso. L'unica rivoluzione possibile è smettere di piangerci su. In questo romanzo esilarante e feroce, Veronica Raimo apre una strada nuova. Racconta del sesso, dei legami, delle perdite, del diventare grandi, e nella sua voce buffa, caustica, disincantata esplode il ritratto finalmente sincero e libero di una giovane donna di oggi. "Niente di vero" è la scommessa riuscita, rarissima, di curare le ferite ridendo. "All'inizio c'è la famiglia.

"La paura finisce dove comincia la verità". Maria Cristina Palma ha una vita all’apparenza perfetta, è bella, ricca, famosa, il mondo gira intorno a lei. Poi, un giorno, riceve sul cellulare un video che cambia tutto. Nel suo passato c’è un segreto con cui non ha fatto i conti. Come un moderno alienista Niccolò Ammaniti disseziona la mente di una donna, ne esplora le paure, le ossessioni, i desideri inconfessabili in un romanzo che unisce spericolata fantasia, realismo psicologico, senso del tragico e incanto del paradosso.

Questa scoperta diventa occasione per lei di rivolgersi direttamente alla figlia e raccontarle la loro storia. Tutto passa attraverso i corpi di Ada e Daria: fatiche quotidiane, rabbia, segreti, ma anche gioie inaspettate e momenti di infinita tenerezza.

Story
Il colibrì è tra gli uccelli più piccoli al mondo; ha la capacità di rimanere quasi immobile, a mezz'aria, grazie a un frenetico e rapidissimo battito alare (dai 12 agli 80 battiti al secondo). La sua apparente immobilità è frutto piuttosto di un lavoro vorticoso, che gli consente anche, oltre alla stasi assoluta, prodezze di volo inimmaginabili per altri uccelli come volare all'indietro. Marco Carrera, il protagonista del nuovo romanzo di Sandro Veronesi, è il colibrì.

Story
"L'unica cosa importante in questo tipo di ritratti scritti e cercare la distanza giusta, che è lo stile dell'unicità". Così scrive Emanuele Trevi in un brano di questo audiolibro che, all'apparenza, si presenta come il racconto di due vite, quella di Rocco Carbone e Pia Pera, scrittori prematuramente scomparsi qualche tempo fa e legati, durante la loro breve esistenza, da profonda amicizia. Trevi ne delinea le differenti nature: incline a infliggere colpi quella di Rocco Carbone per le Furie che lo braccavano senza tregua; incline a riceverli quella di Pia Pera.

Il padre è un chimico, un uomo ombroso e affascinante, che torna a casa ogni sera dal lavoro carico di rabbia. I genitori di Pietro sono uniti da una passione comune, fondativa: in montagna si sono conosciuti, innamorati, si sono addirittura sposati ai piedi delle Tre Cime di Lavaredo.

"Canne al vento è un libro potentemente sovversivo, perché mette in scena due rovesciamenti: il servo uccide il padrone, la figlia si ribella al padre," scrive Michela Murgia, e Grazia Deledda è prima di tutto una rivoluzionaria, perché fu "una straniera che lottò per guadagnarsi una lingua che le permettesse di raccontare il suo mondo, e riuscì a gettare un ponte tra due culture, quella italiana e quella sarda, un ponte sul quale io oggi cammino."

Story
Pubblicato nell'aprile del 1950 e considerato dalla critica il libro più bello di Pavese, "La luna e i falò" è il suo ultimo romanzo. Il protagonista, Anguilla, all'indomani della Liberazione, torna al suo paese nelle Langhe dopo molti anni trascorsi in America e, in compagnia dell'amico Nuto, ripercorre i luoghi dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza in un viaggio nel tempo alla ricerca di antiche e sofferte radici.
By: Cesare Pavese
Publisher's summary
"La storia di una famiglia somiglia più a una cartina topografica che a un romanzo, e una biografia è la somma di tutte le ere geologiche che hai attraversato".
Come si racconta una vita se non esplorandone i luoghi simbolici e geografici, ricostruendo una mappa di sé e del mondo vissuto? Tra la Basilicata e Brooklyn, da Roma a Londra, dall'infanzia al futuro, il nuovo libro dell'autrice di "Cleopatra va in prigione" è un'avventura che unisce vecchie e nuove migrazioni. Figlia di due genitori sordi che al senso di isolamento oppongono un rapporto passionale e iroso, emigrata in un paesino lucano da New York ancora bambina per farvi ritorno periodicamente, la protagonista de "La Straniera" vive un'infanzia febbrile, fragile eppure capace, come una pianta ostinata, di generare radici ovunque.
La bambina divenuta adulta non smette di disegnare ancora nuove rotte migratorie: per studio, per emancipazione, per irrimediabile amore. Per intenzione o per destino, perlustra la memoria e ne asseconda gli smottamenti e le oscurità. In questo audiobook, realizzato sul testo integrale di Claudia Durastanti, l'autrice indaga il sentirsi sempre stranieri e ubiqui. "La straniera" è il racconto di un'educazione sentimentale contemporanea, disorientata da un passato magnetico e incontenibile, dalla cognizione della diversità fisica e di distinzioni sociali irriducibili, e dimostra che la storia di una famiglia, delle sue voci e delle sue traiettorie, è prima di tutto una storia del corpo e delle parole, in cui, a un certo punto, misurare la distanza da casa diventa impossibile.
Il libro, da cui è stato tratto l'audiolibro, ha riscontrato un notevole successo di critica e di pubblico:
- Vincitrice Premio Strega Off 2019;
- Finalista Premio Strega 2019, proposto da Furio Colombo;
- Finalista della 35^ Edizione del Premio Letterario Nazionale per la Donna Scrittrice "Rapallo";
- Finalista del premio Viareggio-Rèpaci 2019 per la Narrativa.
“La straniera” di Claudia Durastanti è un audioBook realizzato con ambientazioni e sound design originali, che vi regaleranno un ascolto avvolgente.

Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Story
What would happen if a shy introvert lived like a gregarious extrovert for one year? If she knowingly and willingly put herself in perilous social situations that she’d normally avoid at all costs? Writer Jessica Pan intends to find out. With the help of various extrovert mentors, Jessica sets up a series of personal challenges (talk to strangers, perform stand-up comedy, host a dinner party, travel alone, make friends on the road, and much, much worse) to explore whether living like an extrovert can teach her lessons that might improve the quality of her life.

Story
For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

Story
A Room of One's Own, based on a lecture given at Girton College Cambridge, is one of the great feminist polemics. Woolf's blazing polemic on female creativity, the role of the writer, and the silent fate of Shakespeare's imaginary sister remains a powerful reminder of a woman's need for financial independence and intellectual freedom.
