Uno dopo l’altro, prima di salire su quel convoglio immaginario, ciascuno dice dove vuole andare, e la locomotiva li porta a destinazione. «A casa», sospirano quasi tutti. Sanno che da Bergen-Belsen nessuno può uscire, ma il treno azzurro tiene viva la speranza che un giorno l’orrore in cui sono sprofondati svanirà. Un treno di tenebre li ha portati fin lì, un treno di luce li farà fuggire via.

Il romanzo trae ispirazione da un'esperienza autobiografica e narra la storia di un'intensa passione vissuta tra Pietro Brusio e Narcisa Valderi. L'uomo, attratto dalla trasgressione, conquista la donna, liberandola dal suo matrimonio, e si afferma come uno scrittore di grande successo, affrontando persino un duello per difenderla. La colpa diventa il filo conduttore che unisce i protagonisti. Il tema del matrimonio e dell'adulterio non si limita a essere una trasgressione o una conferma dei valori tradizionali, ma assume una sfumatura più complessa.

Story
This book will accentuate the need for relevance in service. In The Call up Letter, Toluwalope Olotu explores, albeit elegantly, a bio fiction’s prodding yet scintillating story that expresses a typical life escapades of a young African man as he journeys through life phases. It is a bio-fictitious potpourri of a sort with traces of verisimilitude, undulating in waves of doggedness in determination, faith, and in exploring every given opportunity that comes knocking. It is also a harvest of a deeply creative, adventurous, observant, and innovative mind.

Story
Beth Jannery's novel Unapologetic explores the life of Delilah Auburn, a woman at a crossroads in her middle age, seeking to break free from a past marked by upheaval and emotional distance. Finally, a novel that turns childhood trauma into truth and healing. Unapologetic stands as a testament to the resilience and courage required for personal healing and growth. In the same spirit as the works of Miranda July and Glennon Doyle, Jannery’s novel bravely exposes raw emotions and tackles real topics with a vulnerability that feels akin to walking through the world with no skin—exposed and raw.

Simonetta Agnello Hornby prende le mosse dalla domanda più semplice, più diretta, con cui ci interroghiamo quotidianamente: "Quello che sto facendo è giusto o sbagliato?". A partire da lì si toccano la giustizia dentro l'istituto famigliare, i fenomeni di ingiustizia sociale, lo spettro delle guerre (esistono guerre giuste?), l'amministrazione della giustizia, l'educazione di figli e nipoti. Agnello Hornby cerca esempi nella vita animale e indaga sulla rappresentazione della giustizia nella cultura popolare, nell'arte, nella letteratura, nelle storie che contribuiscono a creare una sensibilità civile.
