Un incontro casuale puo diventare uno specchio che riflette parti di noi che credevamo invisibili. Nel nuovo romanzo di Matteo Bussola, La luce degli incendi a dicembre, due sconosciuti si ritrovano seduti luno di fronte allaltra su un treno: lei si sta lasciando alle spalle la propria famiglia, lui e in viaggio verso casa. Entrambi portano con se un segreto, entrambi hanno ferite e desideri nascosti. Inizialmente diffidenti, si osservano e si ascoltano. Presto le parole si fanno piu intime: discutono di amore e coppia, di figli e sogni infranti, di promesse dimenticate e di quel senso di smarrimento che segna i rapporti umani di oggi. Come in uninquadratura fissa da film dautore, Bussola racconta il confronto tra uomo e donna, tra paternita e maternita, tra due vite comuni che si rivelano straordinariamente vicine alla nostra. Nel breve spazio di un viaggio, i due protagonisti scoprono una possibilita nuova per il loro futuro. Con tutta la bellezza e la paura che questo comporta.

They form a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century.The stories were written when Irish nationalism was at its peak, and a search for a national identity and purpose was raging; at a crossroads of history and culture, Ireland was jolted by various converging ideas and influences. They centre on Joyce's idea of an epiphany: a moment where a character experiences a life-changing self-understanding or illumination. Many of the characters in Dubliners later appear in minor roles in Joyce's novel Ulysses. The initial stories in the collection are narrated by child protagonists, and as the stories continue, they deal with the lives and concerns of progressively older people. This is in line with Joyce's tripartite division of the collection into childhood, adolescence and maturity.

The search for its whereabouts leads to Hoenikker's three eccentric children, to a crazed dictator in the Caribbean, to madness. Will Felix Hoenikker's death wish come true? Will his last, fatal gift to humankind bring about the end that, for all of us, is nigh? Told with deadpan humour and bitter irony, Kurt Vonnegut's cult tale of global apocalypse preys on our deepest fears of witnessing the end and, worse still, surviving it...
