Milano, fine Ottocento.

Il funzionario che lo registra all’ingresso scrive sulla scheda d’ammissione: ‘Una vita di stenti’. In quel piccolo mondo pieno di regole – e di punizioni – Angelo è felice: povero tra i poveri, impara che per fare strada bisogna compiere sacrifici, correre dei rischi e, soprattutto, credere in se stessi.

Story
Wie weit darf man gehen im Kampf um Freiheit? Ein großer Roman nach einer wahren Geschichte. Holland, 1940: Hannie Schaft studiert Jura, und ihre Träume für die Zukunft sind ehrgeizig und voll Hoffnung. Doch es herrscht Krieg, und es sind die Träume, die zuerst sterben. Als Hannie ihre jüdischen Freundinnen nicht mehr zu schützen vermag, schließt sie sich dem Widerstand an. Sie entdeckt ihre gefährlichste Waffe: ihr Frausein. Getarnt von Schönheit und Jugend umgarnt sie jene Männer, die so viel Unheil stiften - und tötet sie.

Story
Sicilia, 1989. In vacanza a Taormina nello svogliato tentativo di salvare la sua relazione con la giovane e forse troppo solare Marta, Alberto, talent scout e agente di spettacolo, vede in tivù Elmo X, il più sovversivo stand-up comedian della storia italiana, ardere in un rogo sulla spiaggia di Riccione.

Story
Роза, роман Оксаны Васякиной в жанре автофикшн, продолжает ее исследование отношений с семьей, реальностью и самой собой. "Рана" — дебютная книга трилогии — стала прощанием с умершей матерью, "Степь" — монологом об отце и его тяжелой судьбе. В завершающем трилогию романе Роза писательница старается разгадать тайну такой короткой жизни своей тети Светланы. Из небольших фрагментов памяти словно паззл складывается сложный образ, в котором тяжелые отношения с матерью, бытовая неустроенность и равнодушие к собственной судьбе соседствуют с почти детской уязвимостью и чистотой.

Story
Nelle voci registrate in una canzone, nelle fotografie scattate nel corso degli anni, in un diario tenuto insieme alla persona amata per quindici giorni, nelle sottolineature sull'ultimo libro letto, cosa rimane di noi? Cosa ci dicono le tracce che lasciamo nel nostro passare? È possibile arrivare alla fine di una storia e da lì cominciare per evocare, rievocare, ridarle vita? Nella notte tra il 10 e l'11 gennaio 2022, Elisa Bricchi, Domenico Di Canio, Costantino Merli e William Pagani, quattro amici tra i venti e ventitré anni, si ribaltano con l'auto nel fiume Trebbia, nel piacentino, e muoiono annegati.

Story
Eine Frau kämpft für die Rechte der Kinder. 1830: Nicht nur in Preußen herrscht die Überzeugung, dass man von Kindern nichts hören und sehen sollte. Um sie vom Weg der Sünde abzubringen, ist körperliche Züchtigung notwendig. Entsetzt verfolgt die junge Luise Levin, wie ihre Neffen geschlagen werden und wie man die Kinder von Arbeiterinnen in Verwahranstalten diszipliniert. Als sie von einer neuartigen Erziehungsanstalt erfährt, die Friedrich Fröbel in Thüringen gegründet hat, bewirbt sie sich dort gegen den Willen ihrer Familie als Haushälterin.
