Story
"Mi mancavano i boschi. Non li conoscevo bene, né sapevo molto su di loro, ma mi mancavano lo stesso." Marassi, periferia di Genova, quartiere di palazzoni residenziali alti nove, dieci piani, dai colori sbiaditi. Balconi dappertutto, di emergenza, di salvataggio, come se chi abita lì dentro vivesse in apnea. Marassi è un quartiere da cui è meglio partire che arrivare. Lo sa bene Maurizio. Sono gli stessi palazzi a suggerirglielo. “Salvati” sembrano dirgli. Il desiderio di una vita altrove diventa urgenza, il richiamo della montagna irresistibile. Fino a farsi malessere.

Story
C'è un momento cruciale, in questa storia. E c'è un "prima", e c'è un "dopo". Il momento cruciale è verso la fine della Seconda guerra mondiale, quando Olga, vedova di Antonio Panini, decide, insieme ai suoi otto figli, di acquistare l'edicola di corso Duomo, nel centro di Modena. Il "prima" è la storia di Antonio Panini, scampato miracolosamente alla Grande Guerra, combattuta in trincea; del suo amore infinito per Olga, detta "la Caserèina", perché figlia del casaro; e di come nel durissimo momento tra le due guerre i due abbiano costruito una famiglia tanto numerosa quanto movimentata.

Story
O que pode florescer da convivência entre uma velhinha que está perdendo a memória e um menino que só pensa em jogos eletrônicos? A história nasceu a partir da colaboração de três autores que se experimentaram em diferentes linguagens. O texto escrito por Everson ganhou voz na narração de Mafuane, e depois uma narrativa visual composta por Juão Paulo Vaz. Assim, como é parte do caminho das histórias orais, a narração foi se modificando, perdendo uma parte aqui, ganhando outra ali, até fixar-se nessa edição.

Story
Dare agli altri la colpa della propria infelicità è un esercizio di malafede collaudato, una tentazione alla portata di tutti. Ed è ciò che prova a fare anche il protagonista di questo romanzo. Almeno fino a un certo punto. Figlio unico di una strana famiglia disfunzionale, con genitori litigiosissimi e assediati dai debiti, è stato un bambino introverso, abituato a bastare a se stesso e a cercare conforto nella musica e nei propri pensieri.
