Story
"Mi mancavano i boschi. Non li conoscevo bene, né sapevo molto su di loro, ma mi mancavano lo stesso." Marassi, periferia di Genova, quartiere di palazzoni residenziali alti nove, dieci piani, dai colori sbiaditi. Balconi dappertutto, di emergenza, di salvataggio, come se chi abita lì dentro vivesse in apnea. Marassi è un quartiere da cui è meglio partire che arrivare. Lo sa bene Maurizio. Sono gli stessi palazzi a suggerirglielo. “Salvati” sembrano dirgli. Il desiderio di una vita altrove diventa urgenza, il richiamo della montagna irresistibile. Fino a farsi malessere.

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.

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.

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.

Michael Beard es un físico que recibió hace años el Premio Nobel por un descubrimiento que en los medios científicos se conoce como la Combinación Beard-Einstein -y aquí comienza la feroz, irresistible ironía de McEwan, porque "combinación" implica también simbiosis, confusión-, y desde entonces se ha limitado a vivir apoltronado en sus laureles. Beard tiene ahora cincuenta y pocos años, y se encuentra en el tramo final de su quinto matrimonio, un final que no se parece en nada a los de sus cuatro uniones anteriores, menos emocionales y más convencionales.
