In a world of bare-knuckled ideology and secret dossiers, Timothy Laughlin, a recent college graduate and devout Catholic, is eager to join the crusade against Communism.

Winston Smith works in the Ministry of Truth—or Minitrue as it is called in Newspeak—where he alters newspapers and reports to follow the arbitrary dictates of Big Brother’s propaganda.

Thus he takes his first dangerous steps, writing a diary of his doubts and then falling in love with a woman of the Party, the beautiful and brave Julia.

Poeta, prosatore, drammaturgo e filosofo indiano, dalla prosa elegante e dalla magica poesia, Tagore fu apprezzato in tutto il mondo e ricevette il premio Nobel per la letteratura nel 1913. Nei suoi scritti traspaiono il suo amore per la natura, e la sua aspirazione verso la fratellanza umana, che lo portò a cercare di conciliare e integrare oriente e occidente. Il romanzo La casa e il mondo, scritto nel 1914, esprime appunto quest’aspirazione e il relativo e personale conflitto interno dell’autore al riguardo.

Sette racconti che si ascoltano come un romanzo corale e parlano del nostro presente, delle sue criticità e delle nostre aspettative, di amori e distanze.

Che si tratti di un venditore ambulante o di un ragazzo del Sud in cerca di lavoro, che sia un musicista innamorato o una donna delusa.
