- Many adolescents today do not feel compelled to walk alone.
To take risks.
To experience emotions, rebellions, responsibilities.
In this book, aimed at young people but also at their parents and teachers, Paolo Crepet addresses one of the strongest mortgages on the future of society. (cit. einaudi.it)
“Don’t listen to those who point out shortcuts, dare to take difficult paths, avoid everything that is comfortable, and be wary of those who propose it.
Let anger and thirst for restlessness grow inside you.
Don’t throw yourself away, learn to torment yourself without losing yourself.
Learn that you have the right to think that in life one can and should try and fail, and that no one should be able to judge you for the mistakes you will make, but rather for the omissions you admit to yourself.”

- ... the mind of a young father who dreams of love and death with the feverish rhythm of a countdown.
- The entire novel seems to be marked by the ticking of a final conflagration, the muted beat of an epilogue not easily defused.
However, from the very first pages, a woman with red hair appears.
No one knows who she is, no one knows what she wants.
Perhaps managing to get close to her means managing to save oneself. (cit. einaudi.it) more
Dario Rensich finished sixth in the New York marathon.
A flattering result, just enough to become a respected coach for the Federation, which sends him to Hungary with the task of preparing a group of young middle-distance runners for the marathon, determined to seize the opportunity to stand out. A torturous process for the adoption of Fiona, the little girl that he and his wife Maura are "waiting for," seems to have reached its final stages just as Dario departs for Szeged, the town on the banks of the Danube.
The dying river, polluted by cyanide, accompanies the training of the seven ambitious eighteen-year-olds... (cit. einaudi.it)

in constant need of oxygen,

- Eccentric, cruel, strictly musical, gratuitous, Charms' literature is a dizzying antidote against any established order.
- This funny, paradoxical, hilarious book that the reader will enjoy with a smile on their lips for the sharpness and humorous intelligence of its situations, cost its author in 1941 his arrest, internment, and then death in a psychiatric clinic. According to Stalin, Charms was a dissenting voice against the dictatorship of the proletariat; he was "just a little man incapable of experiencing the joy of the man who has learned the new language of a new world" (from einaudi.it) more
