Story
Heinrich Breloer hat mit seinem TV-Mehrteiler Die Manns unser Bild von Thomas Mann geprägt wie niemand sonst. Marcel Reich-Ranicki bezeichnete die Filme als "Glanzstück" und "Höhepunkt der deutschen Filmkunst". In Ein tadelloses Glück erzählt Breloer nun die ereignisreiche Vorgeschichte: Vom Aufstieg Thomas Manns, seiner Liebe zu Männern, seinem Werben um Katia Pringsheim und dem deutsch-jüdischen Bündnis ihrer Familien in den entscheidenden Jahren vor Beginn des Ersten Weltkriegs.

Story
C'è un momento cruciale, in questa storia. E c'è un "prima", e c'è un "dopo". Il momento cruciale è verso la fine della Seconda guerra mondiale, quando Olga, vedova di Antonio Panini, decide, insieme ai suoi otto figli, di acquistare l'edicola di corso Duomo, nel centro di Modena. Il "prima" è la storia di Antonio Panini, scampato miracolosamente alla Grande Guerra, combattuta in trincea; del suo amore infinito per Olga, detta "la Caserèina", perché figlia del casaro; e di come nel durissimo momento tra le due guerre i due abbiano costruito una famiglia tanto numerosa quanto movimentata.

Story
Dare agli altri la colpa della propria infelicità è un esercizio di malafede collaudato, una tentazione alla portata di tutti. Ed è ciò che prova a fare anche il protagonista di questo romanzo. Almeno fino a un certo punto. Figlio unico di una strana famiglia disfunzionale, con genitori litigiosissimi e assediati dai debiti, è stato un bambino introverso, abituato a bastare a se stesso e a cercare conforto nella musica e nei propri pensieri.

Story
O que pode florescer da convivência entre uma velhinha que está perdendo a memória e um menino que só pensa em jogos eletrônicos? A história nasceu a partir da colaboração de três autores que se experimentaram em diferentes linguagens. O texto escrito por Everson ganhou voz na narração de Mafuane, e depois uma narrativa visual composta por Juão Paulo Vaz. Assim, como é parte do caminho das histórias orais, a narração foi se modificando, perdendo uma parte aqui, ganhando outra ali, até fixar-se nessa edição.
