Amb estudi introductori, comentaris de text i propostes didactiques de Jaume Aulet.Aigues encantades (1908) se situa en un poble de la part alta i muntanyosa de les comarques tarragonines i planteja el tipic conflicte modernista entre l'individu i la societat. El problema de la sequera provoca un enfrontament entre el sector tradicionalista i conservador del poble -que es el que compta amb el poder factic- i la visio moderna d'un enginyer vingut de la ciutat que compta amb la complicitat de la filla del cacic local. Es la lluita ancestral entre la tradicio i la modernitat vista des dels parametres del Modernisme mes regeneracionista i vitalista.L'estudi preliminar i els complements didactics han anat a cura de Jaume Aulet, professor de literatura catalana contemporania de la Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona.

In questo romanzo Niccolo Ammaniti va al cuore della sua narrativa, con una storia tesa e dal ritmo serrato, un congegno a orologeria che si carica fino a una conclusione sorprendente: e mette in scena la paura stessa. Michele Amitrano, nove anni, si trova di colpo a fare i conti con un segreto cosi grande e terribile da non poterlo nemmeno raccontare.E per affrontarlo dovra trovare la forza proprio nelle sue fantasie di bambino, mentre il lettore assiste a una doppia storia: quella vista con gli occhi di Michele e quella, tragica, che coinvolge i grandi di Acqua Traverse, misera frazione dispersa tra i campi di grano. Il risultato e un racconto potente e di assoluta felicita narrativa, dove si respirano atmosfere che vanno da Clive Barker alle Avventure di Tom Sawyer, alle Fiabe italiane di Calvino.La storia e ambientata nell''estate torrida del 1978 nella campagna di un Sud dell''Italia non identificato, ma evocato con rara forza descrittiva. In questo paesaggio dominato dal contrasto tra la luce abbagliante del sole e il buio della notte, Ammaniti alterna, a colpi di scena sapienti, la commedia, il mondo dei rapporti infantili, la lingua e la buffa saggezza dei bambini, la loro tenacia, la forza dell''amicizia e il dramma del tradimento.

L'installation d'un progiciel en province lui permettra d'étendre le champ de ses observations, d'anéantir les dernières illusions d'un collègue - obsédé malchanceux - et d'élaborer une théorie complète du libéralisme, qu'il soit économique ou sexuel.

"""I Quaderni costituiscono un classico del pensiero politico del Novecento. Gramsci fu un uomo politico e nella politica e da cercare l''unita della sua opera. Anche negli anni del carcere fascista, che ne logoro irrimediabilmente la fibra e ne spense prematuramente la vita, Gramsci fu ""un combattente politico"", un grande italiano e un riformatore europeo. Nel movimento comunista egli fu l''iniziatore della critica piu pregnante dello stalinismo e del marxismo sovietico. Ma il suo pensiero trascende l''orizzonte storico-politico del suo tempo e, quando piu passano gli anni e le sue opere si diffondono in contesti culturali lontani da quello in cui furono originariamente concepite, tanto piu la sua ricerca si afferma come un ""crocevia"" delle maggiori ""questioni"" del nostro tempo: i delemmi della modernita, la soggettivita dei popoli, le prospettive dell''industrialismo, la crisi dello Stato-nazione, il fondamento morale della politica"".

Il romanzo comincia seguendo le due protagoniste bambine, e poi adolescenti, tra le quinte di un rione miserabile della periferia napoletana, tra una folla di personaggi minori accompagnati lungo il loro percorso con attenta assiduita. L'autrice scava nella natura complessa dell'amicizia tra due bambine, tra due ragazzine, tra due donne, seguendo la loro crescita individuale, il modo di influenzarsi reciprocamente, i buoni e i cattivi sentimenti che nutrono nei decenni un rapporto vero, robusto. Narra poi gli effetti dei cambiamenti che investono il rione, Napoli, l'Italia, in piu di un cinquantennio, trasformando le amiche e il loro legame. E tutto cio precipita nella pagina con l'andamento delle grandi narrazioni popolari, dense e insieme veloci, profonde e lievi, rovesciando di continuo situazioni, svelando fondi segreti dei personaggi, sommando evento a evento senza tregua, ma con la profondita e la potenza di voce a cui l'autrice ci ha abituati. Si tratta di quel genere di libro che non finisce. O, per dire meglio, l'autrice porta compiutamente a termine in questo primo romanzo la narrazione dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza di Lila e di Elena, ma ci lascia sulla soglia di nuovi grandi mutamenti che stanno per sconvolgere le loro vite e il loro intensissimo rapporto.

A nai morreu, e na Casa Grande só fican as pantasmas axexando tras as fendas. Os tres irmáns (Estela, Marcos e Paulina) regresan á vila para repartir os restos da herdanza, mais cada obxecto garda a pegada dunha memoria e a ameaza dun axuste de contas. No corazon desa casa, que xa non e fogar, latexan o pasado e os silencios dunha familia que camiña na corda frouxa entre a pertenza e o desapego, entre a fidelidade herdada e a liberdade desexada. A Casa Grande e unha novela poderosa e intima que mergulla nas contradicions das relacions familiares: fraxiles nas formas, pero persistentes no fondo. Un relato cheo de humor, nostalxia e verdades incomodas, que nos lembra que todos estamos feitos, dalgun xeito, das historias que outros deixaron atras.

Ils nous fascinent par leur volonté tranquille, souveraine, accordée au silence des éléments retrouvés. Ils nous restituent la cadence limpide du souffle, clé de notre âme.
