Esiste una generazione di calabresi cresciuta fra cunti, miracoli di santi e dèi. A quei tempi il furto era vergogna, il sopruso arroganza, e nelle rughe di Africo insegnavano a non frequentare i peggiori. La mafia, che c'era stata, che c'era, vedeva restringersi rancorosa il proprio spazio. A quei tempi cresce Nicola, e con lui gli amici Filippo e Antonio, compagni di avventure. Ragazzini che vanno a scuola - o meglio, che la marinano - e, all'insaputa delle famiglie, si avvicinano alla piccola criminalità.

Story
Meet Alice (Rebecca Front) - a former child prodigy who won a place at Oxford aged nine, but because Daddy went too she never needed to have any friends. She's scared of everything - everything that is, except libraries and Snoo (Morwenna Banks), a slightly confused individual, with a have-a-go attitude to life, marriage, haircuts and reality. Snoo loves books and fully intends to read one someday. And forever popping into the library is Dr Cadogan (Michael Fenton Stevens), celebrity doctor to the stars and a man with his finger in every pie.

Cuatro mujeres de diferentes clases sociales y una amistad rotunda para descubrir el paso de la tradición a la modernidad en el Beirut de nuestros días. Mouna Al-Husseini es la propietaria del Cleopatra, un salón de belleza algo decadente en un barrio de Beirut. Mouna es una mujer atrevida y liberal, que lucha por desmarcarse de la tradición rígida, a pesar de que a sus 37 años su madre todavía le recuerda día a día lo mal que ha encaminado su vida. La casualidad llevará a las puertas del Cleopatra a Imaan Sayah, una importante diplomática libanesa.

Story
La vida cotidiana de una escritora se ve sacudida por el recuerdo de una amiga fallecida en plena adolescencia. Una bellísima novela sobre la memoria, el amor y la amistad. La vida de una escritora de cuarenta y tantos años transcurre sin grandes sobresaltos, entre sus dos hijos y una relación que parece a punto de terminar. Pero esa existencia razonablemente plácida se ve sacudida por la reaparición de un fantasma del pasado en forma de repentino recuerdo: Gema.

Story
"Tutto il mondo affrontava la stessa prova. Qualcuno ne approfittò per cambiare." Cosa racconteremo di noi e della nostra vita ai nostri nipoti? Mattia decide di iniziare dalla primavera dei suoi nove anni, nel 2020, quando, mentre il mondo da un giorno all'altro si rinchiude in casa, si ritrova costretto nel microcosmo di un condominio di ringhiera a fronteggiare il suo più grande nemico: quel padre che l'aveva abbandonato quando aveva solo tre anni. Mentre tutto si stravolge, l'ansia e la paura prendono il sopravvento, la scuola viene racchiusa in un computer.

Story
"Ci sono loro, e ci saranno sempre. Una specie di famiglia. La chiamerei la famiglia X, come l'incognita di un'equazione, che non sai quanto vale finché non la risolvi. E io quanto vale l’ho capito eccome: infinito all’infinitesima potenza". Michael ha 13 anni e ama la matematica, per le sue regole chiare. Di chiaro c'è ben poco nella sua vita, in cui, dopo l'arresto dei suoi genitori, irrompono assistenti sociali, un'anziana signora, l'affascinante e ribelle figlia del sindaco e infine i suoi genitori affidatari, una coppia di papà.
