About this listen
Giorgio, studente modello figlio di intellettuali borghesi, ha ventidue anni e una vita normale e un po' noiosa. Francesco è torbido, misterioso e affascinante. E baro. Le loro vite viaggiano separate fino all'incontro che segnerà il destino di entrambi, trascinandoli in un vortice ubriacante che a poco a poco diventa un'inarrestabile discesa agli inferi.
Una storia struggente sull'amicizia e il tradimento, un viaggio doloroso e inquietante in quel tempo fragile e misterioso che separa la giovinezza dall'età adulta.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7
Roberto Marías è un uomo spezzato dal passato, dai ricordi di un padre perso troppo presto e da quelli di una vita pericolosa, trascorsa come agente sotto copertura. Di professione fantasma, ha imparato a ingannare, a tradire, a sparire senza lasciare traccia. Quando incontra Emma e suo figlio Giacomo, le loro solitudini iniziano a parlarsi e qualcosa impercettibilmente, cambia. Una narrazione serrata e struggente sui padri e i figli, i vuoti dell'anima e la fragilità degli uomini.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 10
Enrico Vallesi è un uomo intrappolato in un destino paradossale. Un giorno decide di salire su un treno e tornare nella città dove è cresciuto. Comincia così un viaggio di riscoperta attraverso i ricordi di un'adolescenza inquieta, in bilico fra rabbia e tenerezza. Con una scrittura lieve e tagliente l'autore ci guida fra le storie e la psicologia dei personaggi, in un romanzo di formazione alla vita e alla violenza che è anche un racconto sulla passione per le idee e per le parole, un'implacabile riflessione sulla natura sfuggente del successo e del fallimento, una inattesa storia d'amore.

Story5 out of 5 stars 7
Donne che appaiono all'improvviso e all'improvviso scompaiono. Uomini alla ricerca di qualcosa che ignorano e che li spinge oltre i confini del prevedibile. Situazioni consuete che d'un tratto virano nei territori dell'inquietudine. Interviste impossibili. Storie d'amore che nascono nei luoghi più inattesi, in bilico fra sogno e realtà. "Un sorriso lieve le si dipinse sulle labbra a quel ricordo. Sembrava parlasse di una storia d'amore, di un primo bacio, non dell'inseguimento di uno scippatore". Non esiste saggezza è un affresco commovente fatto di domande profonde e illuminazioni repentine.

Story4 out of 5 stars 13
Un buon investigatore deve essere capace di costruire una storia, immaginare che cosa è successo prima e dopo il crimine, come in un romanzo. Poi, costruita la storia, deve andare in cerca di ciò che la conferma e la contraddice. Cosí pensa il maresciallo dei carabinieri Pietro Fenoglio, piemontese trapiantato a Bari, che si trova a indagare su un omicidio dove tutto appare troppo chiaro fin dall'inizio. Non fosse che al principale sospettato, su cui si concentra ogni indizio, mancava qualsiasi movente per commettere il delitto.

E risolvono il caso. Ma in quella storia non c'era niente da risolvere, mentre mi raccontavano la scomparsa di questa ragazza pensavo solo: io non c'entro nulla."

But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

When a golden opportunity arises to infiltrate a high-stakes Nazi gala in Vichy France, Julia must put aside her by-the-book mentality to assist her unorthodox new partner.
