Navajo Code Talkers: Voices of the Unbreakable Code by Cyril Marlen tells the extraordinary true story of how a group of young Navajo men turned their ancient language into the most secure military code of World War II—one that not even the best enemy cryptographers could break. When American forces fought their way across the Pacific, secure communication became a matter of life and death. Japanese intelligence had cracked nearly every code the Allies used—until the U.S. Marine Corps enlisted the help of the Navajo Nation.

The Spiral of Greed From the Native Myths of the American West series—a collection that reimagines traditional Klamath and Modoc stories in a contemporary voice. When a traveler called HeWhoGathers crosses the great grass ocean, his charm and hunger draw in Buffalo, Mother Deer, C’waam, and the Black Wolf of Yamsay Mountain. Each learns the cost of trust and the price of greed. Told in the rhythm of oral storytelling, The Spiral of Greed is both a warning and a lullaby—a story to listen to in quiet moments or before sleep.

In the quiet corridors of memory and imagination, we often grapple with absence, grappling with the imprints left behind by people, experiences, and moments that were once pillars in the architectures of our lives. The following anthology of poems—"Ashes of Dreams"—strives to traverse these complex landscapes. Written as an homage to love, loss, and the nuanced stages of grief, these verses seek to capture the raw emotion of parting, the hollowness of absence, and the resilient flickers of hope that persist even in the darkness.

A Leopard-Skin Hat may be the French writer Anne Serre’s most moving novel yet. Hailed in Le Point as a “masterpiece of simplicity, emotion and elegance,” it is the story of an intense friendship between “the Narrator” and his close childhood friend, Fanny, who suffers from profound psychological disorders. A series of short scenes paints the portrait of a strong-willed and tormented young woman battling many demons, and of the narrator’s loving and anguished attachment to her.

With her little twin sisters in tow, the family sets out across the country chasing promise and possibility—but the farther they travel, the more Mary begins to see her father, and the world around her, in a new light.

In THE GRAMMAR OF SELF, George Watt presents a lifetime of memories, which seemingly move at random from decade to decade, from continent to continent, from cosmos to microcosm. It does have one central goal: to look at poetry as an attempt towards objectification of aspects of personal identity, as a means through which the self may be confronted, challenged and celebrated. But the volume of verse does more than that as it subscribes to a notion from Thomas Szasz about the self: it is “not something that one finds.

Giulia Corsani è la più bella della famiglia dei Morini, bionda, alta e sottile, dallo spirito ribelle e ambizioso. A Giulia non piace il lavoro, le piacciono i denari, la vita comoda; per questo motivo sposa Otello Manzi, che ha più del doppio dei suoi anni, ma che la condurrà a vivere a Bologna. E proprio Bologna sarà per la Morina il paese dei balocchi, dove riuscirà a fare la bella vita tra nobili decaduti e borghesi arricchiti, inimicandosi madri, mogli e fidanzate.

Parue en 1880, Boule de Suif a été depuis adaptée de nombreuses fois au théâtre, au cinéma, à la télévision. La mise en scène sonore de l’œuvre met en lumière toute l’ambiance si particulière du contexte historique de la guerre de 1870, et l’interprétation du narrateur et des dialogues amplifie la compréhension de l’extraordinaire analyse de l’auteur face à une société étriquée, dont l’hypocrisie est mise au grand jour. Le personnage principal, Boule de Suif, prostituée au grand cœur, n’en est que plus bouleversant.
