Elia si trova in prigione mentre fuori impazza la guerra, ed è il suo compagno di cella a chiedergli come sia finito in carcere: è così che Elia comincia a raccontare, partendo da un antico testo e una verità rimasta nascosta per secoli, che ha irrimediabilmente modificato il destino di tutta l’umanità. Adamo e l’unicorno è il primo di una serie di racconti affascinanti e stranianti al tempo stesso, dove il confine tra realtà e fantasia è estremamente labile, con personaggi intriganti e situazioni surreali che sono però il ritratto della società in cui viviamo e con cui ogni giorno dobbiamo confrontarci. Antonio Bernard, parmigiano di adozione, è nato a Pozza di Fassa (Trento) il 16 agosto 1942. Successivamente si è laureato in lingue straniere alla Bocconi e ha insegnato letteratura inglese in più posti. In realtà, la sua vita è sempre stata attratta da due diversi poli, letteratura e alpinismo. A quest’ultimo si è dedicato ininterrottamente e anche in età avanzata, finché le forze concesse dal trascorrere degli anni glielo hanno permesso, compiendo scalate impegnative, anche fuori Europa. È stato inoltre accolto nel gruppo dell’Accademico, club aperto solo all’élite dell’alpinismo nazionale. È istruttore nazionale di alpinismo. Questa sua passione lo ha portato a pubblicare cinque libri, ottenendo anche significativi riconoscimenti, quali il premio internazionale ITAS 2009 sull’esplorazione della montagna e la menzione speciale al premio CONI 2017. Quando l’età non gli ha più consentito la pratica dell’alpinismo, si è rivolto totalmente al suo secondo polo di interesse, peraltro mai trascurato: la scrittura. Si è quindi dedicato alla composizione di racconti, soprattutto incentrati sulla condizione dell’uomo contemporaneo nella società globalizzata.

Ci sono motel, grattacieli, diner, drive-in, fast food, ponti, parchi, battelli a vapore. Ci sono metropoli, ghetti, piccole città e città fantasma. Ci sono treni, taxi gialli e aquile solitarie. Ci sono orsi, orsetti, trote e alligatori. Ci sono toffolette, apple pie, hamburger e hot dog, ziti e zeppole. Ci sono cowboy, telepredicatori, wobblies e flappers, quaccheri e mormoni. Ci sono Peanuts, Simpson, Barbie, nerd, supereroi e ufo. Ci sono i re Elvis e Michael, Charlie Parker, Dolly Parton e Billie Holiday. Ci sono Hollywood e Broadway, Dallas e E.R., Walker Evans e Edward Hopper, Dean Moriarty, Huck Finn, Gatsby, Achab e Rossella. E poi femministe tenaci, capi tribù, intellettuali radical, esploratori coraggiosi, scienziati visionari... Ma anche ammutinamenti di schiavi, massacri di indiani, battaglie coloniali, guerre sanguinose, lotte operaie, movimenti di protesta, scandali politici, armi, stragi, catastrofi ambientali. L’avete riconosciuta? È l’America che avete sognato nei film, letto nei romanzi, ascoltato nel rock e nel blues, amato di un amore totale oppure odiato senza riserve: l’avete vista, fotografata, perduta, ritrovata. È l’America delle grandi città, certo, ma anche delle isole, dei luoghi isolati e sperduti, delle «cinture» della Bibbia e del cotone, delle aree postindustriali e postminerarie. È l’America dei deserti e del Mississippi, delle praterie e della Silicon Valley, della Route 66 e di Roswell, delle frontiere di ieri e di oggi. Ma poi, che cos’è l’«America»? Da che parte sta? A queste domande cerca di rispondere «Americana», dizionario atipico di più di trecento voci a stelle e strisce. Non per tracciare un’impossibile cartografia definitiva degli Stati Uniti, non per «dire tutto» sull’America, ma per cogliere e interpretare l’affascinante, e a volte disturbante, complessità di un paese-mondo, attraverso storie note e meno note, singolari ed emblematiche, reali e mitiche.

This is an account of a father’s attempts to discover what has happened to his son, who disappeared in the Darien Gap Jungle in Panama, in Central America. Just how do you go about finding out what has happened to someone six thousand miles away in a Spanish-speaking country? At the start the father did not know for definite where how his son had disappeared, if he had had a companion or who that companion was, or if he had had a guide. The significant thing is that the search became a family affair (without divorce!), but then other people became involved – some complete strangers very generous and helpful, a genuine crook, and two largely incompetent detective agencies. After 9 months, it was resolved, free of any ransom demand, probably by direct contact with the guerrilla group, FARC, itself. When the two adventurers were released, the parents, Brian and Anne Winder, heard of ransom demands of $2.000,000 each which never reached them, and many situations where the two adventurers could easily have died, and their fate never be known. Brian Winder is a family man with three grown-up sons and a long-suffering wife who is a French teacher. He was born and educated with degrees in Classics and Philosophy with the Jesuits in Ireland. In his 20s he travelled in North Africa and most countries in Europe, and most interestingly in Russia when it opened its borders. He taught in a secondary school in Zambia and also worked in the copper mines in Zambia for 11 years and in London, after he specialised in computers and as an accountant. After retirement, he devoted himself full-time over 25 years to volunteering with many roles in charities serving the homeless and addicts. His favourite hobby is country dancing.

One of the most popular and widely read books of the Middle Ages, "Physiologus "contains allegories of beasts, stones, and trees both real and imaginary, infused by their anonymous author with the spirit of Christian moral and mystical teaching.a Accompanied by an introduction that explains the origins, history, and literary value of this curious text, this volume also reproduces twenty woodcuts from the 1587 version. Originally composed in the fourth century in Greek, and translated into dozens of versions through the centuries, "Physiologus "will delight readers with its ancient tales of ant-lions, centaurs, and hedgehogsOCoand their allegorical significance. OC An elegant little book . . . still diverting to look at today. . . . The woodcuts reproduced from the 1587 Rome edition are alone worth the price of the book.OCOOCoRaymond A.

“Can I be honest with you for a second?” he asked. “Isn’t that what we’re doing?” she said playfully. “I don’t know very much about you, and that’s fine, but ever since you started at Middleton, there’s been something about you that I’ve been drawn to. And I don’t want to be presumptuous, but I think you might feel it too? If you don’t, that’s completely fine and I’m so sorry if this makes you uncomfortable, but I wanted you to know that before…”. “Before what?” she asked, breathlessly. “Before I asked if I could kiss you?” In an instant, all the butterflies in her stomach were jolted awake. Her hands and armpits instantly became clammy, and her mouth went dry. “Would that be alright?” he asked. “Yes,” she whispered. Jake leaned over the table and cupped her face with his right hand. Once their lips met, the butterflies went away, and a calmness overtook her. Jake kissed tenderly yet passionately, as if it were the last kiss he would ever have. When he began to pull away, Madison grabbed his shirt and brought him back. To say it was the best kiss she’d ever had would be a gross understatement and Madison knew right then and there that that was what love was supposed to feel like. Kendra Slee is a secondary teacher in Southern Ontario.
