    Time Shelter
    'Georgi Gospodinov is unique in many ways. I've been reading him since the beginning of his career and I know that no one can combine an intriguing concept, wonderful imagination and perfect writing technique like he can' Olga Tokarczuk, author of Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 'A powerful and brilliant novel: clear-sighted, foreboding, enigmatic. A novel in which the future gives way like a rotten beam and the past rushes in like a flood' Sandro Veronesi, author of The Hummingbird and twice winner of the Premio Strega In Time Shelter, an unnamed narrator meets Gaustine, a 'flâneur through time,' who has uncoupled his life from his contemporary reality, reading old news, wearing old clothes, haunting the lost avenues of the twentieth century. Gaustine is the mind behind the first 'clinic for the past,' an institution based in Zurich that offers an inspired treatment for Alzheimer's sufferers: each floor reproduces a past decade in minute detail, allowing patients to transport themselves back in time and find comfort in their fading memories. Yet an increasing number of healthy people are interested in seeking out the clinic as a form of 'time shelter,' hoping to escape from the horrors of our present, a development that results in an unexpected conundrum, when the past beings to invade the present. Georgi Gospodinov is one of Europe's most acclaimed writers. Originally from Bulgaria, his novels have won his country's most prestigious literary prize twice and have been shortlisted for more than a dozen international prizes - including the 2015 PEN Literary Award for Translation, the Premio Gregor von Rezzori, the Premio Strega Europeo, the Bruecke Berlin Preis, and the Haus der Kulturen der Welt Literaturpreis. He has won the 2016 Jan Michalski Prize for Literature, the 2019 Angelus Literature Central Europe Prize and the 2021 Premio Strega Europeo, among others.

    Una strega a mezz'estate (eBook, ePUB)
    A mezz'estate, si sa, può succedere di tutto, anche che le streghe diventino buone. O meglio, che tornino ad essere buone. Eh già, infatti sembra che, in origine, queste fiabesche creature fossero gentili, allegre e di buon cuore, e che un giorno siano diventate cupe e irascibili a causa di un torto subito da una loro antenata. In questo racconto incontrerete gioviali streghette e streghe dispettose, principesse ballerine, draghi sputaghiaccio e prìncipi innamorati, che vi guideranno nella loro sgangherata avventura, accompagnati dal vento dell'estate. E tutti, nei momenti più importanti, si esprimono in rima baciata.

    Let the Games Begin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 580min
    It's the night of the most decadent party of the century. A rags-to-riches real estate magnate has planned an over-the-top weekend safari for the who’s-who of celebrities at his sprawling residence in Villa Ada - once a public park, now the largest private home in Rome. Starlets, politicians, soccer stars, and intellectuals all turn up to rub elbows. Among them is a neurotically charming author struggling to write his next literary tome and pining for renewed recognition. In an unexpected turn of events, he crosses paths with The Wilde Beasts of Abaddon, a satanic sect planning to ruin the evening’s festivities in order to go down in history as a world-famous cult. What was intended as the most spectacular fête of the year quickly descends into apocalyptic chaos. In this satirical tragicomedy, Niccolò Ammaniti, winner of the prestigious Strega Prize, reveals a side of modern culture riddled with superficiality and vulgarity that nourishes our deepest dreams and insecurities. ungekürzt.

    Story of My People , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 231min
    Winner of the 2011 Strega Prize, this blend of essay, social criticism, and memoir is a striking portrait of the effects of globalization on Italy’s declining economy. Starting from his family’s textile factory in Prato, Tuscany, Edoardo Nesi examines the recent shifts in Italy’s manufacturing industry. Only one generation ago, Prato was a thriving industrial center that prided itself on craftsmanship and quality. But during the last decade, cheaply made goods - produced overseas or in Italy by poorly paid immigrants - saturated the market, making it impossible for Italian companies to keep up. In 2004 his family was forced to sell the textile factory. How this could have happened? Nesi asks, and what are the wider repercussions of losing businesses like his family’s, especially for Italian culture? Story of My People is a denouncement of big business, corrupt politicians, the arrogance of economists, and cheap manufacturing. It’s a must-listen for anyone seeking insight into the financial crisis that’s striking Europe today. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Derek Shetterly.
