The nights are long and cold on top of this mountain. As the snow grows thicker and the tension builds between us, we're both inching closer to a line we shouldn't cross.

When I was six years old, my father made a choice that altered the course of my entire life. Because of what he did, the only girl I ever loved became the only girl I couldn’t have.

Pubblicata per la prima volta su Rassegna Contemporanea nell'agosto del 1911, "I fortunati" è una novella in cui Pirandello critica in maniera molto dura il mondo della chiesa, senza per questo rinunciare alla sua tagliente ironia. Conosciamo così Don Arturo Filomarino, giovane prete del piccolo paesino di Montelusa (paesino immaginario che, molto probabilmente, è Girgenti), che deve fare i conti con una pesantissima eredità.

Nel cuore della Borgogna, tra i vigneti della Côte-d’Or, si cela un’antica abbazia non particolarmente nota al resto del mondo e ormai piuttosto fatiscente: Notre-Dame-de-Bleaumont. Una vecchia torre campanaria che assicura panorami mozzafiato, ma che nessuno si azzarda più a scalare, un giardino di erbe aromatiche dove trovare ristoro e una piccola comunità coesa, anche se un po’ attempata. La pace è assicurata a Bleaumont, ma non si può dire altrettanto dell’avventura: le giornate si susseguono identiche, senza scossoni.

Fuori piove, fa freddo. Dentro la chiesa, in un piccolo paese del Nord-Est, fa ancora più freddo. È quasi buio, la luce del mattino non riesce a imporsi. Un uomo, Tilio, sta portando via i moccoli dai candelieri, raschia la cera colata, mette candele nuove. Sistema tutto seguendo l'ordine che gli hanno insegnato, perché si deve mettere ogni cosa al suo posto nella giusta successione. Parla con se stesso, intanto, in attesa che sulla scena compaia Fredi, il sacrestano. Tra una messa e l'altra i due sorseggiano caffè corretto alla vodka.

La leggenda di Gösta Berling è il romanzo d’esordio dela scrittrice svedese Selma Lagerlof, che fu insignita in seguito del premio Nobel per la letteratura. L’opera è una saga basata su uno stile evocativo del paesaggio e della vita degli inizi del 1800; il protagonista è un pastore protestante che ha lasciato il ministero a causa della sua dedizione all’alcool. Uomo debole e forte insieme, viene presentato con lo stesso spessore di uno degli antichi eroi dei miti nordici. Musica, dal Peer Gynt, di Grieg.

Perché un paladino in copertina? Certamente perché si parla di Sicilia - ma tranquilli, il dialetto è poco. Quanto basta, "come il sale", secondo una lettrice di Parma. Ma c'è un altro motivo. In tutti i racconti tratti da "Pilipintò - Racconti da bagno per Siciliani e non", come questo che state per ascoltare dalla mia voce, troverete trame e capovolgimenti di prospettiva. Chi meglio di Orlando, paladino dagli occhi storti, può impersonare la capacità mediterranea di guardare le cose da più punti di vista?
