"Mi piacciono i toscanismi della lingua di Collodi, adoro la sua voce e le voci dei suoi personaggi, che io provavo ad accennare quando leggevo il racconto ai figlioli prima di addormentarli. Le sue pagine sembrano fatte apposta per la lettura ad alta voce. La voce di Collodi è aspra, concreta, esatta, abrasiva. Ha una musica stupenda, ruvida, e a volte può essere languida e dolcissima, ma sempre accompagnata da un sorrisetto di beffa. Collodi vuole bene ai suoi personaggi, al suo protagonista, ma allo stesso tempo li prende in giro, li sfotte, li avvolge in una luce ironica"

“Da qualche anno la mia ricerca si è concentrata sui buchi bianchi, elusivi fratelli minori dei buchi neri. Questo è il mio libro sui buchi bianchi. Provo a raccontare come sono fatti i buchi neri, che vediamo nel cielo a centinaia. Cosa accade sul bordo di queste strane stelle, l’orizzonte, dove il tempo appare rallentare fino a fermarsi e lo spazio sembra strapparsi. Poi giù, dentro, nelle regioni più interne, fin dove tempo e spazio si sciolgono. Fin dove è come rimbalzare indietro nel tempo. Fin dove nascono i buchi bianchi.”

Dans ses "Sept brèves leçons de physique", Carlo Rovelli confiait : qu'une question avait guidé sa vie de chercheur : la nature du temps. Se hissant sur les épaules d'Isaac Newton, d'Albert Einstein, de Stephen Hawking et de bien d'autres, il nous livre enfin ses découvertes dans ce livre majeur. Le temps est au cœur d'un étrange mystère. Tel un flocon de neige qui fond lorsqu'on s'en saisit, il s'est progressivement délité sous les assauts de la science : on sait dorénavant que le temps s'écoule plus lentement en plaine qu'en altitude.

The Adventures of Pinocchio is the story of a magical puppet. His creator Geppetto is given a gift of some magical talking wood. Geppetto decides to carve the special piece of wood into a puppet that he names Pinocchio. Geppetto is delighted with his new creation, but all is not well. As soon as Pinocchio learns to walk, he runs away from home and right into danger.

When the gentle woodcarver Geppetto builds a marionette, Pinocchio, to be his son, a fairy brings the toy to life. But Pinocchio is not yet a human boy. He must earn the right by proving that he is brave, truthful, and unselfish. But even with the help of Jiminy, a cricket who the fairy assigns to be his conscience, Pinocchio goes astray. He joins a puppet show instead of going to school, he lies instead of telling the truth, and he travels to Pleasure Island instead of going straight home.

Geppetto es un anciano que se siente solo y crea un muñeco de madera para que le haga compañía, al que llama Pinocho. Un hada le da vida y es así como Pinocho, junto al pequeño Pepe Grillo, comienza a experimentar aventuras llenas de emociones y peligros, en el camino hacia el sueño de convertirse en un niño de verdad.

Few men in sports history have accomplished more than Yogi Berra: three MVP Awards, 21 World Series appearances as a player, coach, and manager, and a plaque in Cooperstown honoring him as arguably the greatest catcher to ever play the position. Off the field, the man often derided for his appearance has become one of the most beloved and enduring sports figures of all time, as well as a successful pitchman and the source of some of the most-repeated expressions in the English language.

Il 9 maggio 1978, il corpo di Aldo Moro fu ritrovato in un'automobile Renault 4 rossa a Roma in via Caetani, strada vicina sia a piazza del Gesù (dov'era la sede nazionale della Democrazia Cristiana), sia a via delle Botteghe Oscure (dove era la sede nazionale del Partito Comunista Italiano). Cinque processi, dal 1983 al 1996, non hanno fatto piena luce sul sequestro Moro. Qui cercheremo di descrivere quello che è successo, ciò che è stato scoperto nel corso degli anni, i fatti emersi durante le indagini. Una ricostruzione per quanto possibile oggettiva, basata soprattutto sull'esame delle carte processuali e sulle relazioni delle principali perizie degli esperti.

In this Italian children's classic, a lonely toymaker named Gepetto creates a small wooden puppet who magically comes to life. In a series of mischievous adventures, Pinocchio thinks he can get by on a variety of clever lies and tricks. There is one problem: his nose grows every time he tells a lie. One way or another, the truth always comes out, and Pinocchio finds out that lying does not pay.

Over two millennia ago, a Greek philosopher had a number of wondrous insights that paved the way to cosmology, physics, geography, meteorology, and biology, setting in motion a new way of seeing the world. In this elegant work, acclaimed physicist Carlo Rovelli brings to light the importance of Anaximander's overlooked legacy to modern science. He examines Anaximander as a scientist interested in shedding light on the deep nature of scientific thinking, which Rovelli locates in his rebellious ability to reimagine the world again and again.
