Winner of the Campiello Prize, The Lake’s Water Is Never Sweet is an unflinching portrait of a generation, striving to make a place for themselves in a world markedly different from the one their parents promised them. With psychological acuity and stylish prose, Caminito takes us into the volatile, searching mind of a young woman torn between her desire to connect with others and her drive for self-preservation.

Di cose da offrire a un ragazzo di diciott'anni, Pandino non ne ha poi molte: novemila abitanti, quindici bar, dieci parrucchieri, cinque pizzerie d'asporto, una torre dell'Enel dove s'intrecciano i graffiti d'intere generazioni, due chiese, un santuario, neanche una libreria. Elia vive da sempre nei confini di questo perimetro: la scuola, qualche festa, il migliore amico attivista che cerca invano di scuoterlo con le sue battaglie politiche, il padre che ce la mette tutta anche se non basta mai.

Un ritorno alle origini alla ricerca delle radici. Un viaggio dal Nord al Sud dell’Italia, per ritrovare un luogo magico e ideale. Situato sul fianco di una montagna, non lontano dal mare, separato dal resto della vallata da un ponte malfermo che gli abitanti non attraversano mai, Appetricchio è il posto dove tornare per far pace con noi stessi e capire chi siamo. È qui che è nata Rosa, la madre di Mapi e Lupo, gemelli di Brescia che ad Appetricchio hanno trascorso tutte le vacanze della loro infanzia.

Dal cassetto del mio comodino sbuca un portafoto in plastica arancione pieno di fotografie brutte, ed è subito estate del 1990. C'è Claudia con la frangetta e un paio di occhiali da sole con lenti fumé, Gina un po' più magra e con i capelli bagnati sciolti sulle spalle, io con gli occhiali da vista e sottile come un orbettino. Lulù era già andata via. Mi ricordo gli anni dopo la sua fuga, quella strana assenza mista a sollievo. Non sapere dove fosse e cosa stesse facendo era inquietante, ma la vita senza di lei era diventata più semplice, almeno per noi.

Und an diesem Ort verbinden sich die Schicksale von Daniele, der mit einer ganz besonderen Gabe zur Welt gekommen ist, und Susanna, die unter dramatischen Umständen geboren wird. Die Welt steht vor dem Umbruch, als der Wissenschaftler Galileo Galilei den Beweis erbringt, dass nicht die Erde der Mittelpunkt des Universums ist, sondern die Sonne. Vor diesem Hintergrund müssen Susanna und Daniele eine ungewöhnliche Mission erfüllen.

Es el comienzo del verano y la protagonista de Listas, guapas, limpias quiere dejar a su novio, pero hay algo que se lo impide. También hay algo que le hace dudar cuando llega a una fiesta llena de desconocidos y le piden que sea ella la que ponga la próxima canción; o cuando está con su madre en el supermercado del barrio y tiene que escoger una marca de pizza congelada para la cena; o incluso cuando está hablando con su amiga de infancia, Yaiza, y no es capaz de sincerarse sobre sus planes de futuro.

UNA STORIA COMMOVENTE SUL DIFFICILE PASSAGGIO DALL'ADOLESCENZA ALL'ETÀ ADULTA E SULLA FORZA INSPIEGABILE DELL'AMORE. Nato qualche mese dopo il felice naufragio del matrimonio dei genitori, Teo Luci cresce in una grande e originale famiglia, educato da due poli opposti: sua madre, del Sud, allevata a balie, collegi e bugie; suo padre, del Nord, cresciuto tra i boschi e il cattolicesimo. Oltre al figlio, l'unica somiglianza nelle vite slegate dei suoi è la passione per il cinema: il motivo per cui si sono trasferiti a Roma, il mestiere che stanno imparando, la febbre che hanno tutte le persone di cui si circondano.

This quintessential coming-of-age novel describes the early life of Stephen Dedalus. It is set in Ireland during the 19th century, which was a time of emerging Irish nationalism and conservative Catholicism. Highly autobiographical in nature, the work is also notable for its being the first one in which Joyce uses innovative “stream of consciousness” writing style. A Portrait... follows Stephen Dedalus from his babyhood into early adulthood.

1932: Located on the banks of the Gilead River in Minnesota, Lincoln School is home to hundreds of Native American boys and girls who have been separated from their families. The only two white boys in the school are orphan brothers Odie and Albert, who, under the watchful eyes of the cruel superintendent Mrs. Brickman, are often in trouble for misdeeds both real and imagined. The two boys' best friend is Mose, a mute Native American who is also the strongest kid in school. And they find another ally in Cora Frost, a widowed teacher who is raising her little girl, Emmy, by herself. 

A young royal from the far north, is sent south for a political marriage in an empire reminiscent of imperial China. Her brothers are dead, her armies and their war mammoths long defeated and caged behind their borders. Alone and sometimes reviled, she must choose her allies carefully. Rabbit, a handmaiden, sold by her parents to the palace for the lack of five baskets of dye, befriends the emperor's lonely new wife and gets more than she bargained for.

Ernest Hemingway said, “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn". One hundred years after its author’s death, this classic remains remarkably modern and poignantly relevant. In this new edition, Elijah Wood reads Huck in a youthful voice that may be the closest interpretation to Twain’s original intent. His performance captures the excitement and confusion of adolescence and adventure.

The summer before my senior year of high school I had only one goal: to make Alden Warner see me as more than his best friend's annoying little sister. Finally, my wish came true, and he noticed me - in a big way. Too bad the next morning he had no memory of our night together, leaving me heartbroken and, as I later discovered, pregnant. For the last four years, I've been rocking the single mom thing, making sure my daughter comes first. In fact, everything was going fine - until Alden storms back into my life…as my new boss. 

The NFL is full of rules. Rules I've never broken, never challenged, never even scratched...until the day Lucas Carrington crashes into my life with his hard body and I-don't-give-a-f--k attitude. After I almost injure my father's star player, I volunteer to make sure he's in top shape. At first, it's hell. I don't like his cockiness and his easy smile. I don't like the way he oozes sex or how his penetrating eyes follow me everywhere. But that doesn't stop me from wanting him. He's meant to be a distraction - something to occupy my mind for these precious few remaining hot summer nights.
