Pillole di saggezza... Da assumere anche a stomaco vuoto.

How long do you hold on to hope? Danica Greene has always hated flying, so it was almost laughable that the boy of her dreams was a pilot. She married him anyway and together, she and Etsell settled into a life where love really did seem to conquer all. Danica is firmly rooted on the ground in Blackhawk, the small town in northern Iowa where they grew up, and the wide slashes of sky that stretch endlessly across the prairie seem more than enough for Etsell. But when the opportunity to spend three weeks in Alaska helping a pilot friend presents itself, Etsell accepts and their idyllic world is turned upside down. It’s his dream, he reveals, and Danica knows that she can’t stand in the way. Ell is on his last flight before heading home when his plane mysteriously vanishes shortly after takeoff, leaving Danica in a free fall. Etsell is gone, but what exactly does gone mean? Is she a widow? An abandoned wife? Or will Etsell find his way home to her? Danica is forced to search for the truth in her marriage and treks to Alaska to grapple with the unanswerable questions about her husband’s mysterious disappearance. But when she learns that Ell wasn’t flying alone and that a woman is missing, too, the bits and pieces of the careful life that she had constructed for them in Iowa take to the wind. A story of love and loss, and ultimately starting over, Far From Here explores the dynamics of intimacy and the potentially devastating consequences of the little white lies we tell the ones we love.

The tables are turned: having magically stopped aging in the 19th century, Lilly Linton is no longer the secretary slaving for cold, stone-faced business-magnate Rikkard Ambrose. Now, in the 21st century, the roles are reversed. In their fierce struggle for control, who will emerge on top? In this short story, everything about your favourite characters from Robert Thier’s story ‘Storm and Silence’ is turned on its head. A hilarious little trip into the madness of alternative realities.

Qualche giorno fa incontrai per strada un uomo vestito interamente di grigio che sembrava un disegno ribelle uscito fuori da un libro. Ho deciso di scriverne un piccolo pensiero vestendo i panni di un suo fratello.

TRAMA Il libro si apre con l'immagine di una ragazza seduta su una panchina isolata, in mezzo ad un prato; da questa posizione ha la possibilità di vedere una valle con tutte le meravigliose montagne che la circondano. Un luogo perfetto per poter pensare: tutto è silenzioso, si percepisce solamente la musica della natura che coccola la ragazza, in questo suo mondo, in questa piccola parte del nostro meraviglioso pianete, lei è libera di lasciar viaggiare la sua mente attraverso riflessioni sulla vita, sull'amore, sul significato di cui i libri parlano, sui messaggi contenuti nelle canzoni che ascolta, su tutte le cose che le persone dicono... Questo libro mostra ciò, che una mente libera di pensare, può fare se non le vengono imposti limiti; in questo libro tutti possono vedere i pensieri di questa mente e tutti sono liberi di criticarli, di condividerli o di apprezzarli.

To everyone at Meridian High School, fourteen-year-old Michael Vey is nothing special, just the kid who has Tourette’s syndrome. But in truth, Michael is extremely special—he has electric powers. Michael thinks he is unique until he discovers that a cheerleader named Taylor has the same mysterious powers. With the help of Michael’s friend, Ostin, the three of them set out to discover how Michael and Taylor ended up with their abilities, and their investigation soon brings them to the attention of a powerful group who wants to control the electric teens—and through them, the world.
