"I live for the dream that my children will be born free," she says. "That they will be what they like. That they will own the land their father gave them." "I live for you," I say sadly. Eo kisses my cheek. "Then you must live for more." Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he spends his life willingly, knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity already reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and sprawling parks spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class. Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity's overlords struggle for power. He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society's ruling class. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies... even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.

Kafka on the Shore, a tour de force of metaphysical reality, is powered by two remarkable characters: a teenage boy, Kafka Tamura, who runs away from home either to escape a gruesome oedipal prophecy or to search for his long-missing mother and sister; and an aging simpleton called Nakata, who never recovered from a wartime affliction and now is drawn toward Kafka for reasons that, like the most basic activities of daily life, he cannot fathom. Their odyssey, as mysterious to them as it is to us, is enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerizing events. Cats and people carry on conversations, a ghostlike pimp employs a Hegel-quoting prostitute, a forest harbors soldiers apparently unaged since World War II, and rainstorms of fish (and worse) fall from the sky. There is a brutal murder, with the identity of both victim and perpetrator a riddle—yet this, along with everything else, is eventually answered, just as the entwined destinies of Kafka and Nakata are gradually revealed, with one escaping his fate entirely and the other given a fresh start on his own.

"Se la curiosità avesse un volto, probabilmente sarebbe quello di un gatto, di un cucciolo di sei settimane, per l'esattezza, col nasino sporco, il pelo nero arruffato e gli occhi vivaci e brillanti, due fari verde scuro in una sera di fine marzo." Comincia così questa storia, con un micetto che si aggira per le vie di un paese tutto solo, sotto la pioggia. Ogni marciapiede, ogni casa, ogni cespuglio è per lui una novità da scoprire, un mondo intero da esplorare. Ancora non sa dove lo porterà il suo cammino, quali destini incrocerà, ma ad attenderlo ci sono molte storie, molte persone, e un unico cammino da percorrere tutti dalla giovane Matilde, bullizzata dai compagni di scuola, a Diana e Paolo, anime solitarie destinate a unirsi; da Mario, fattorino rimasto senza lavoro e senza casa, a Demir, ragazzo dal cuore grande e dai sogni ancora più grandi; da Teresa, anziana signora bisognosa di compagnia, a Elena, donna brillante e in carriera ma infelice. Il gatto protagonista di questa favola moderna regalerà loro più di una coccola, e sarà per loro più di un manto soffice da accarezzare. Sarà il compagno fedele che dà conforto in un periodo difficile, sarà la presenza costante che aiuta a trovare il coraggio di compiere un passo importante, sarà l'amico con cui confidarsi in un momento di solitudine. Ma lui tutto questo non lo sa, perché è ancora un cucciolo e questo è solo l'inizio. L'inizio della storia del gatto dai sette nomi. Questo dolcissimo e divertente romanzo, il primo di Federico Santaiti, ci insegna quello che in fondo ogni gattaro sa avere accanto un piccolo felino può davvero cambiarci la vita. In meglio.

A heartbreaking and hilarious memoir by iCarly and Sam & Cat star Jennette McCurdy about her struggles as a former child actor—including eating disorders, addiction, and a complicated relationship with her overbearing mother—and how she retook control of her life. Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income. In I’m Glad My Mom Died , Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail—just as she chronicles what happens when the dream finally comes true. Cast in a new Nickelodeon series called iCarly , she is thrust into fame. Though Mom is ecstatic, emailing fan club moderators and getting on a first-name basis with the paparazzi (“Hi Gale!”), Jennette is riddled with anxiety, shame, and self-loathing, which manifest into eating disorders, addiction, and a series of unhealthy relationships. These issues only get worse when, soon after taking the lead in the iCarly spinoff Sam & Cat alongside Ariana Grande, her mother dies of cancer. Finally, after discovering therapy and quitting acting, Jennette embarks on recovery and decides for the first time in her life what she really wants. Told with refreshing candor and dark humor, I’m Glad My Mom Died is an inspiring story of resilience, independence, and the joy of shampooing your own hair.
