Ce sont trois gamins livrés à eux-mêmes et autant de boulots cumulés pour les nourrir. Ce sont des pères absents : le premier, incarcéré le plus longtemps possible, croit-elle, et le second, suicidé. C'est une culpabilité sans fin. Moira O'Donnell, c'est la solitude d'une mère de famille dure au mal qui se bat, tombe et renaît. Pour ses enfants. Et avec eux. À la vie, à la mort.

Una novela tan extraordinaria como la peripecia de sus protagonistas. En el año 2011, el narrador de esta novela y su familia llegaron, de un modo azaroso, a una vivienda casi en ruinas situada en un pequeño pueblo del sur de España. Un acuerdo con el propietario les permitiría hacer uso de ella mientras él encontraba financiación para construir allí unos apartamentos. Era solo cuestión de tiempo que la casa fuera derribada. Sin embargo, durante los años siguientes, pasaron largos periodos en ella, reparándola con sus propias manos, transformándola en un acogedor lugar de encuentro y celebración.

Após receber o diagnóstico de "enervada" – categoria que no começo do século XX era usada pela ciência para descrever o comportamento de um grande número de mulheres –, Lúcia, uma carioca "ultramoderna", como ela mesma se descreve, decide narrar sua vida, com o intuito de questionar o diagnóstico a que foi submetida.

Story
El relato Micromegas, escrito en 1752, es uno de los relatos cortos de Voltaire. Una sátira ingeniosa que narra el encuentro entre dos seres extraterrestres, Micromegas, un gigante de 120.000 pies de altura, y su compañero, un ser aún más grande de 800.000 pies de altura. Ambos provienen de estrellas distantes y visitan la Tierra en una búsqueda de conocimiento. A través de este relato, Voltaire explora temas como la relatividad de la perspectiva humana, la vanidad de la humanidad y la crítica satírica de la sociedad y la filosofía de su tiempo.

Story
Accettare il male come se niente fosse. Questo avviene nel paesino di terra e vicoli dove vive Lello, ragazzino inquieto e timido alle prese con la prima adolescenza. Proprio lì, in quella landa di mezzo che ora molti conoscono come ‘La terra dei fuochi’ o ‘Il triangolo della morte’, c’è il Fosso, un po’ discarica e un po’ campo giochi, e nel Fosso c’è tutto: i drogati e gli innamorati, i ragazzini che fumano Marlboro di contrabbando e bevono gassosa Arnone, gli adulti che si vengono a fare o vengono ad ammazzare.
