Story
Carlo Weiss è un giardiniere paesaggista. Ana, sua moglie, l’ha lasciato, ma i suoi capelli biondo tiziano e il suo corpo muscoloso punteggiato di lentiggini sono ancora al centro di un vuoto che non riesce a riempire. Passa le sue giornate con Agon, un professore di francese emigrato dal Kosovo che si guadagna da vivere alle sue dipendenze rendendo belli i giardini dei ricchi. Agon ha un passato oscuro e un presente che può vantare diverse zone grigie, ma la sua innocenza di bambino, così incongrua rispetto al corpo da colosso, ne fanno una presenza rassicurante, animata da un’elementare ma profonda saggezza.

Siamo nel 1983, a Chihuahua. Adelita ascolta i racconti del nonno materno, il suo abuelo: li ascolta con la partecipazione incantata che è dei più piccoli quando stanno scoprendo il mondo, e insieme al mondo scopre anche un pezzo importante della sua storia. Quello di Adelita è un ascolto tanto più importante perché le informazioni che riceve a scuola sono opache e contraddittorie e hanno bisogno di una voce più trasparente, più vicina al cuore delle cose e degli eventi. Parral, 1916. Pancho Villa è ferito, nascosto in una grotta nel deserto.

Story
La primera novela de una de las artistas más relevantes del panorama musical de la industria latina. Doña Inés Humanes de Arteaga acaba de morir y deja a Karma, su gata, como beneficiaria de su inmensa fortuna y a Luciana, su asistente y cuidadora de la mascota, como albacea. Luciana, colombiana y mulata, lleva más de siete años viviendo en España y nunca imaginó que su, por fin, tranquila vida pudiera virar de manera tan surrealista. Bastián es hijo de Hortensia, la hermana de doña Inés, un joven arquitecto sensible a los problemas sociales que nunca se ha sentido integrado en la familia.

Story
Tradimenti, amori, cospirazioni nell'affascinante epoca Tudor. Due donne, due diversi destini, uniti per sempre sotto l'ombra della torre di Londra. Finché i corvi abiteranno la Torre di Londra, il Regno d’Inghilterra sopravvivrà. Joan Vaux non è come tutte le altre dame di corte. Ha la carnagione olivastra, si veste sempre con abiti scuri e i suoi capelli sono neri come le ali dei corvi che tanto ama. Li considera suoi amici e guardiani della Corona da quando è piccola. E oggi più che mai il Regno sembra in pericolo.

Story
In 1953, a teenage girl, Jeanne Saré, jumps in front of a train at the Gare du Nord station. She leaves behind writings that to some are unreadable, but to others tell universal, unspoken truths about the lives and struggles of women. When published in the 1970s, her work triggers a rash of copycat suicides. It is hastily withdrawn from sale and eventually forgotten about.

Story
Milano, fine Ottocento. Quando varca per la prima volta la soglia dell’orfanotrofio, Angelo Rizzoli ha otto anni, indossa un maglione più grande di un paio di misure e delle scarpe da adulto che lo fanno camminare come una papera. 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.
