Si dia inizio! E che ci siano abbastanza assurdità! Bisbigliare con uccelli o bestie e credere per metà che sia tutto vero. Questa nuova edizione ampliata di Alice nel paese delle meraviglie reintegra alcune scene escluse dalla prima versione del 2017: in particolare vede tornare alla ribalta il personaggio della Duchessa; scene che al tempo abbiamo ritenuto essere un po' troppo "matte" per un pubblico piccino (consigliamo l'ascolto di questa versione dai 6 anni in poi).

Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old Devil to his nephew, Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man.

In 1986, before Michael Lewis became the best-selling author of The Big Short, Moneyball, and Flash Boys, he landed a job at Salomon Brothers, one of Wall Street’s premier investment firms. During the next three years, Lewis rose from callow trainee to New York- and London-based bond salesman, raking in millions for the firm and cashing in on a modern-day gold rush. Liar’s Poker is the culmination of those heady, frenzied years - a behind-the-scenes look at a unique and turbulent time in American business.

He is betrayed by his best friend, manages to escape his imprisonment, and gains revenge and glory before the cheering multitudes in the chariot races at the Roman circus in Antioch.

Come in Alice nel paese delle meraviglie il racconto è pieno di allusioni a personaggi, poemetti, proverbi e avvenimenti propri dell'epoca in cui Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) viveva. Mentre il primo libro gioca sul tema delle carte da gioco, questo secondo è incentrato sul tema degli scacchi, per i quali l'autore fornisce uno schema di gioco all'inizio del libro.
