Inglese

Narrativa in lingua inglese

Crossing the cultural divide. An englishman in Italy

Crossing the cultural divide. An englishman in Italy è il racconto di Hugh Staiwart, insegnante di inglese, e delle sue esperienze in Italia. Armato delle migliori intenzioni, Staiwart cerca pacatamente di entrare in sintonia con lo stile di vita e la cultura italiana, ma finisce spesso per inciampare in una serie di gaffe e fraintendimenti che generano momenti di affabile comicità. Venti anni di vita in Italia sono narrati attraverso una successione di episodi che vedono Hugh e altri personaggi confrontarsi con immagini, modelli culturali e codici linguistici differenti, o solo in parte famigliari. Il dialogo che ne deriva offre divertenti spunti di riflessione sugli inglesi in Italia e sull'Italia degli inglesi.

Dominic Stewart vive in Italia dal 1987 ed è docente di lingua inglese presso l'università di Macerata.

Three Cups of Tea

"Three Cups of Tea is one of the most remarkable adventure stories of our time. Greg Mortenson’s dangerous and difficult quest to build schools in the wildest parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan is not only a thrilling read, it’s proof that one ordinary person, with the right combination of character and determination, really can change the world." -Tom Brokaw

"Greg Mortenson represents the best of America. He’s my hero. And after you read Three Cups of Tea , he’ll be your hero, too." -U.S. Representative Mary Bono (R-Calif.)

"Three Cups of Tea is beautifully written. It is also a critically important book at this time in history. The governments of Pakistan and Afghanistan are both failing their students on a massive scale. The work Mortenson is doing, providing the poorest students with a balanced education, is making them much more difficult for the extremist madrassas to recruit." -Ahmed Rashid, best-selling author of Taliban: Militant Islam and Oil in Central Asia and Descent Into Chaos.

New Moon (The Twilight Saga)

"Shoot," I muttered when the paper sliced my finger; I pulled it out to examine the damage. A single drop of blood oozed from the tiny cut. It all happened very quickly then. Edward threw himself at me, flinging me back across the table... I tumbled down to the floor by the piano, with my arms thrown out instinctively to catch my fall, into the jagged shards of glass. I felt the searing, stinging pain that ran from my wrist to the crease inside my elbow. Dazed and disoriented, I looked up from the bright red blood pulsing out of my arm-into the fevered eyes of the six suddenly ravenous vampires. Legions of readers entranced by Twilight are hungry for more and they won't be disappointed. In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural twist. The "star-crossed" lovers theme continues as Bella and Edward find themselves facing new obstacles, including a devastating separation, the mysterious appearance of dangerous wolves roaming the forest in Forks, a terrifying threat of revenge from a female vampire and a deliciously sinister encounter with Italy's reigning royal family of vampires, the Volturi. Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.
