About this listen
Alle due del mattino del 24 ottobre 1917, i cannoni austro-tedeschi cominciarono a colpire le linee italiane. All'alba le Sturmtruppen, protette dalla nebbia, andarono all'assalto. In poche ore, le difese vennero travolte e la sconfitta si trasformò in tragedia nazionale. Oggi sappiamo che quel giorno i nostri soldati hanno combattuto, eccome, finché hanno potuto.
Ma perché l'esercito italiano si è rivelato così fragile, fino al punto di crollare? Alessandro Barbero ci offre una nuova ricostruzione della battaglia e il racconto appassionante di un fatto storico che ancora ci interroga sul nostro essere una nazione.

Alessandro Barbero segue Dante nella sua adolescenza di figlio d'un usuraio che sogna di appartenere al mondo dei nobili e dei letterati; nei corridoi oscuri della politica, dove gli ideali si infrangono davanti alla realtà meschina degli odi di partito e della corruzione dilagante; nei vagabondaggi dell'esiliato che scopre l'incredibile varietà dell'Italia del Trecento, fra metropoli commerciali e corti cavalleresche.

Story
Pubblicato nell'aprile del 1950 e considerato dalla critica il libro più bello di Pavese, "La luna e i falò" è il suo ultimo romanzo. Il protagonista, Anguilla, all'indomani della Liberazione, torna al suo paese nelle Langhe dopo molti anni trascorsi in America e, in compagnia dell'amico Nuto, ripercorre i luoghi dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza in un viaggio nel tempo alla ricerca di antiche e sofferte radici.

Un viaggiatore, una piccola stazione, una valigia da consegnare a una misteriosa persona... Da questa premessa si possono snodare innumerevoli vicende, ma sono dieci quelle che l'autore propone in questo sorprendente e godibilissimo romanzo. "È un romanzo sul piacere di leggere romanzi: protagonista è il lettore, che per dieci volte cominica a leggere un libro che per vicissitudini estranee alla sua volontà non riesce a finire. Ho dovuto dunque scrivere l'inizio di dieci romanzi d'autori immaginari, tutti in qualche modo diversi da me e diversi tra loro." (Italo Calvino)

In 1992, the deadliest year in Chicago’s history, seven-year-old Dantrell Davis was shot and killed in front of his elementary school inside the public housing complex Cabrini-Green. What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities. Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families.

Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

Molto completo e dettagliato
Barbero dettaglia come si arrivo’ alla sconfitta di Caporetto utilizzando l’alto e il basso, le comunicazioni ufficiali e innumerevoli dettagli di diari e lettere personali, riuscendo a darci uno squarcio completo di una ferita forse mai chiusa. Rispetto ad altri lavori del prof B, questo ha meno dell’ironia distaccata e della leggerezza che lo contraddistingue, forse segno dell’amarezza e dell’attualità di uno spirito nazionale irrisolto fino si giorni attuali. Lettura chiara e distinta, con alcuni nomi friulani distorti. Consigliato.

Ahi! forse a tanto strazio cadde lo spirto anelo!
Noi friulani siamo abituati ad avere la pronuncia dei nostri toponimi storpiata. Non ci si aspetta che un italiano sappia pronunciare correttamente le parole tedesche. Quasi nessuno ha idea della pronuncia dei nomi sloveni. Ma se per 19 ore uno è costretto ad ascoltare un attore professionista prendere fischi per fiaschi quasi ad ogni nome di luogo o di persona, la situazione diventa tragicomica. Non si poteva fare un minimo di ricerca?
