Mentre per le strade dell'Addis Abeba del 1974 si rovescia la rabbia verso le politiche dell'impero, Hailu estrae un proiettile dalla schiena di un ragazzo ferito a un corteo. Muove il bisturi con le mani autorevoli di chi è abituato a curare. La medicina gli impone efficienza, rigore, distacco. Eppure in quella sala operatoria Hailu pensa a suo figlio Dawit, forse coetaneo del paziente a cui cerca di salvare la vita. Forse anche lui tra i dimostranti furiosi che sfidano la milizia di Hailé Selassié impegnata a sedare i disordini.

Quando Scarlett perde il ruolo per cui ha lottato tutta la vita, il suo mondo crolla. Danzare era tutto ciò che aveva, e ora che la compagnia di ballo l'ha scaricata senza preavviso, le restano solo il conto in rosso e un futuro incerto. Ma una lettera inaspettata le offre un'ultima, misteriosa possibilità: un'audizione esclusiva in un parco divertimenti gotico, sperduto tra le foreste dell'Oregon. Un luogo surreale dove ogni angolo nasconde ombre e segreti. A gestirlo è Damien Blackwell, giovane erede di una delle famiglie più potenti dello Stato, che non si mostra in pubblico da anni.

Yet their ten-year marriage is devoid of tenderness, and when Anna falls in love with the handsome Count Vronsky they embark upon a deep and passionate affair.

Pubblicato nel 1940, quando la parola "coraggio" era riservata per lo più agli uomini, questo libro fu per Anna Banti il «primo gesto di libertà»: cinque racconti, cinque storie di donne in bilico tra paura e ribellione. C'è Amina che avanza nel buio con un gruppo di donne spaventate. Il passo è incerto, la paura è un'abitudine. Ma all'improvviso la sua fragilità si spezza. Con un gesto di sfida, affronta il marito padrone che la umilia ogni sera e, sollevando un bicchiere di vino, gli dice in faccia: «Ecco la paura che mi fai: ci bevo sopra».

Bonita è una giovane studentessa di Delhi in viaggio in Messico per imparare lo spagnolo. Seduta su una panchina del Jardín di San Miguel de Allende, all'ombra della maestosa cattedrale, si gode l'estraneità di un luogo mai visitato. Non conosce nessuno lì, e nessuno la conosce. Eppure un'anziana donna in abiti tradizionali, loquace ed eccentrica, l'avvicina con accalorata familiarità, affermando di rivedere in lei la figlia della sua cara amica, Rosarita, conosciuta proprio lì tanti anni prima, quando Rosarita era arrivata dall'India, come ora sua figlia, per seguire la sua vocazione di pittrice.
