Sono alcune delle domande che rivolgiamo a chi gli audiolibri li scrive, li pubblica e, soprattutto, li legge - attrici, attori, doppiatori e speaker -, in questo podcast che ogni 15 giorni racconterà due titoli (una novità uscita da poco e un classico della letteratura, o uno dei libri che hanno appassionato di più gli ascoltatori negli ultimi anni).

In November 1944, Bologna's bomb-scarred streets are filled with starving refugees fleeing the advancing Allies. The Fascist Black Brigades, S.S. officers, and Italian Resistance partisans compete for control. Comandante De Luca, once Bologna's most brilliant investigative officer, now works for the Political Police in a torture facility. He faces three murders: a professor shot through the eye, an engineer beaten to death, and a German corporal gnawed by rats in a flooded cellar.

Dans ses "Sept brèves leçons de physique", Carlo Rovelli confiait : qu'une question avait guidé sa vie de chercheur : la nature du temps. Se hissant sur les épaules d'Isaac Newton, d'Albert Einstein, de Stephen Hawking et de bien d'autres, il nous livre enfin ses découvertes dans ce livre majeur. Le temps est au cœur d'un étrange mystère. Tel un flocon de neige qui fond lorsqu'on s'en saisit, il s'est progressivement délité sous les assauts de la science : on sait dorénavant que le temps s'écoule plus lentement en plaine qu'en altitude.

Soccer youth participation in the US declined by nearly 25% in recent years . The US men’s national team went from the verge of a breakthrough to elimination from the 2018 World Cup. What’s gone wrong with American soccer and what can be done to fix it? “The Shoeless Ones” was Pele's first team. The greatest footballer of all time had no cleats, shin guards, grass fields, cone drills, or heroic soccer-parent carpooling from practices, games, and tournaments. Heck, he learned to play with a sock stuffed with rags. Let's return football to its roots, to the blacktops, vacant lots, and...

Roma, 1903: la quiete della dolce notte estiva è turbata da un delitto perpetrato nel luogo più inviolabile, il Vaticano. Una guardia svizzera viene trovata morta insieme a una cameriera. Il vecchio papa ha le mani legate: indagini ufficiali solleverebbero un polverone, mettendo a repentaglio la credibilità della Chiesa. Ci penserà il Padre Eterno a punire il colpevole. Ma quel che Leone XIII vuole assolutamente impedire è che, dopo la sua morte, il soglio di Pietro sia occupato da una persona coinvolta nel crimine.

Nevertheless comprises essays on Machiavelli and on Pascal. The ambivalent connection between the two parts is embodied by the comma in the subtitle: Machiavelli, Pascal. Is this comma a conjunction or a disjunction? In fact, both. Ginzburg approaches Machiavelli's work from the perspective of casuistry, or case-based ethical reasoning.

Mischievous, lazy, and full of tricks, the puppet Pinocchio causes trouble for his creator, Geppetto, almost as soon as he comes to life.

Il 9 maggio 1978, il corpo di Aldo Moro fu ritrovato in un'automobile Renault 4 rossa a Roma in via Caetani, strada vicina sia a piazza del Gesù (dov'era la sede nazionale della Democrazia Cristiana), sia a via delle Botteghe Oscure (dove era la sede nazionale del Partito Comunista Italiano). Cinque processi, dal 1983 al 1996, non hanno fatto piena luce sul sequestro Moro. Qui cercheremo di descrivere quello che è successo, ciò che è stato scoperto nel corso degli anni, i fatti emersi durante le indagini. Una ricostruzione per quanto possibile oggettiva, basata soprattutto sull'esame delle carte processuali e sulle relazioni delle principali perizie degli esperti.

“Da qualche anno la mia ricerca si è concentrata sui buchi bianchi, elusivi fratelli minori dei buchi neri. Questo è il mio libro sui buchi bianchi. Provo a raccontare come sono fatti i buchi neri, che vediamo nel cielo a centinaia. Cosa accade sul bordo di queste strane stelle, l’orizzonte, dove il tempo appare rallentare fino a fermarsi e lo spazio sembra strapparsi. Poi giù, dentro, nelle regioni più interne, fin dove tempo e spazio si sciolgono. Fin dove è come rimbalzare indietro nel tempo. Fin dove nascono i buchi bianchi.”

A lovable but mischievous marionette hopes to become a real boy, but first must learn to work hard, overcome peer pressure, and stop telling lies before his wish is granted.
