        by Indira Yakovenko

        Un riccio viola che vive in un bosco, con i suoi soliti odori e suoni, ha un sogno: vedere il mare. Inizia, così, un percorso avventuroso verso la sua realizzazione, durante il quale troverà nuovi amici - una farfalla, un topolino, una lucciola, una bambina e perfino un castagno -, incontrerà pericoli e farà molte scoperte.

      • LETTERA A MIO FIGLIO SULLA FELICITÀ

        by Sergio Bambaren

        Per anni, Sergio Bambarén ha girato il mondo in cerca di una serenità all'apparenza irraggiungibile, spinto dal vento irrequieto del suo animo. Poi, proprio quando crede di aver finalmente conquistato l'equilibrio da sempre desiderato, ecco che arriva un figlio a sconvolgere ogni sua certezza. Solo stringendo tra le braccia il piccolo Daniel per la prima volta, Sergio si rende conto di non aver mai nemmeno immaginato le straordinarie implicazioni della paternità. Sopraffatto dalle emozioni, decide di prendere carta e penna per scrivere una lunga lettera al figlio. Una lettera in cui possano trovare sfogo tutte le parole che gli affollano la mente. Così, Sergio si mette completamente a nudo, raccontando pagine della sua esistenza che non ha mai condiviso con nessuno. Parla della sua infanzia in Perù, del primo amore, della passione per il mare. Svela i suoi sogni più intimi, le ambizioni più nascoste, le speranze più segrete. Ma non solo. Con lucidità e onestà, rievoca le paure, gli errori, le debolezze e le lezioni imparate a caro prezzo sulla propria pelle. Rimanendo fedele allo stile semplice e poetico che lo ha reso celebre, l'autore de "Il delfino" parla per la prima volta della meravigliosa esperienza che gli ha cambiato la vita, regalandoci un messaggio d'amore intenso e dolcissimo, che va dritto al cuore.

      • STORIA DELLA PICCOLA VOLPE CHE MI INSEGNÒ IL PERDONO

        by Sergio Bambaren

        «Per chi non la conoscesse già, vorrei presentare la protagonista di questa storia. Chiqui è una piccola volpe che è entrata nella mia vita quando decisi di lasciarmi alle spalle i ritmi frenetici di una società che sentivo sempre più estranea. Quando vivi seguendo i tuoi sogni, il tempo vola e io ancora stento a credere che siano già trascorsi tre anni da quando Chiqui è entrata nella mia vita e nel mio cuore. Questo breve racconto è un tributo alla piccola volpe che ho avuto il privilegio di conoscere e che ha contribuito a rendere incredibili questi tre anni nella Casa di Luce. La forza con la quale affronta le avversità è stata una lezione preziosa, ma, cosa più importante, Chiqui mi ha permesso di condividere il suo mondo, i suoi amici, e quello che ho imparato seguendola e scoprendo ciò che lei conosceva, e io ignoravo, mi ha dato la spinta per imbarcarmi in una nuova, grande avventura: dedicare tutte le mie energie a difendere chi non può farlo da solo e a diffondere tra i miei simili la consapevolezza del danno che stiamo arrecando alla nostra casa comune, la Terra. Spero davvero che anche voi, cari amici, possiate apprendere da lei come ho fatto io, e impegnarvi in prima persona per cambiare le cose.» (Sergio Bambarén)

        IL LADRO DI SOGNI

        Azzurra e la sua sorprendente avventura

        by FEDERICA STORACE

        How can you match dreams and thieves? What a stunning adventure you’re going through by reading...you can guess from the title. The story was inspired by the drams of our young generations, which the writer captures and transforms into fantastic scenarios and plot twists from her observatory  of woman, wife, mother and teacher.  Thanks to her skilled writing she is able to consider the importance of young people's dreams and show even how daydreams can become reality. We are living in times without reference points nor certainty, in a society that tends to offer stereotypes and superficial ways of living to the new generations: in this context the author needed to create a story about beautiful dreams, hopeful and full of expectations to build the future.The story is also about... thieves! Because dreams are being threatened to get lost as well as hope is to disappear: dreams are mostly confused with false myths and a craving for getting everything fast, so that young people can’t learn to be patient and to wait for dreams to come true. That’s why the protagonists of this imaginary story are dreams and characters - all of them original, bizarre and courageous - are involved to catch a thief in a thrilling action.
