In psychology it has long been believed that people who procrastinate have a faulty sense of time - thinking they will have more time to get things done than they actually do. Other research suggests that procrastinators are trying to avoid distress. Ironically, procrastination is the cause of much stress, anxiety, guilt, shame, self-criticism, and lowered self-esteem, which all lead to health issues and poorer performance in the long run.

"I Malavoglia," il romanzo più conosciuto ed apprezzato di Giovanni Verga, è la storia di una famiglia di pescatori di umili origini nel contesto della Sicilia rurale di fine '800. È l'affresco grandioso di una società meridionale aggrappata alle antiche usanze ma scossa dagli echi del progresso europeo, in cui i personaggi del romanzo subiscono sulla loro pelle le lacerazioni di un mondo che va inesorabilmente cambiando.

Danny "Madman" Maddox isn’t supposed to make Skylar Haze's heart beat out of rhythm. At least not anymore. She hasn't seen that boyish face since the day he left to go on tour with her brother Joey's band. Now, with a major record label backing them, the band is in need of a bit of help, and when Joey asks Skylar to be the band's photographer, she can't help but say yes. Of course, Joey doesn’t know about that forbidden kiss. The one Skylar hopes Danny’s forgotten. But can she?

Cosa può permettersi chi non ha denaro? Non certo l'affetto, ma soltanto l'onore, per lo meno nella Sicilia di fine '800 che ci presenta Giovanni Verga. "Pane nero", pubblicata originariamente da Verga all'interno di "Novelle rusticane", ci mostra uno spaccato di miseria e povertà. Un testo che ancora oggi pone interrogativi e spunti di riflessione attualissimi.

Le "Novelle rusticane" rappresentano uno dei momenti più alti e fortemente originali dello sperimentalismo narrativo del tardo Ottocento italiano. Pubblicate per la prima volta a Torino dall'editore Casanova nel 1883, rappresentano il secondo scritto verista di Verga. L'autore siciliano non solo affronta il tema della "roba", tema a lui carissimo e centrale nella sua poetica, ma introduce anche una serie di tematiche sociali ed economiche della Sicilia di fine '800.

Celebre storia d'amore tra una ragazza di buona famiglia e un bandito, "L'amante di Gramigna" venne portata sul grande schermo anche da Carlo Lizzani nel 1968, nel celebre film interpretato da Gian Maria Volonté e Stefania Sandrelli. In questa novella Verga ci racconta un amore intenso e unico, capace di sfidare leggi e convenzioni. Un sentimento totalizzante che legherà in maniera indissolubile la bella Peppa al bandito Gramigna.

Giovanni Verga ci presenta la vita di Pentolaccia, povero bracciante siciliano perdutamente innamorato de "la Venera". Inganni e tradimenti renderanno però la vita di Pentolaccia un vero inferno, fino al drammatico epilogo finale.

Le altre donne del paese la temono perché è spregiudicata e disinibita. Gli uomini la guardano con un misto di paura e lussuria. Tutti la chiamano "la lupa", per quel suo spirito anticonformista così raro nella Sicilia ottocentesca. Una storia fatta di sentimenti fortissimi che sorprende il lettore per la sua intensità e per il suo climax drammatico ed avvincente.

Durante i festeggiamenti in onore di San Rocco si scatenano delle liti con i devoti di San Pasquale: volano sberle, oggetti, vi sono molti feriti, litigi tra parenti e saltano anche matrimoni. Uno spaccato della Sicilia ottocentesca tratteggiato con fine maestria da Giovanni Verga e narrato da Gaetano Marino.
