Periferia di Roma, venerdì 29 novembre 1991. Andrea ha quindici anni e sua madre lo accompagna per l'ultima volta a vedere il padre, o meglio ciò che resta di quell'uomo che da tempo li ha abbandonati per andare a vivere con un'altra donna e che adesso un cancro si sta finendo di mangiare, questione di poche ore. Scenario di questo incontro totalmente asimmetrico, giacché il padre non ha più le forze per guardare il figlio né rispondere alle sue domande, è "la fattoria", come la chiama Andrea, la casa che gli uomini della sua famiglia hanno tirato su con le proprie mani, sacco di cemento dopo sacco di cemento.

Gripping and inspiring, Tree of Lives spans the 20th century, and in following Ruth's development, demonstrates how feisty and independent women paved the way in the fight for social equality as the decades unraveled.

El más puro estilo Sergi Pàmies: diez cuentos autoficcionales que parecen diez confesiones íntimas, con la dosis exacta de ironía para soportar los fracasos más cotidianos. En los cuentos de A las dos serán las tres los límites entre la ficción y los géneros se difuminan: lo que de entrada parece una revisión autobiográfica acaba por convertirse en un juego donde la fantasía tiene un papel fabulador, siempre al servicio de una narrativa que galopa constantemente entre la ironía más perspicaz y su capacidad para hacer frente a los fracasos y las experiencias cotidianas.

UNA STORIA PER RISENTIRE LA LEGGEREZZA DEI MIGLIORI ANNI DELLA NOSTRA VITA. PER IMPARARE A VOLARE E NON VIVERE SEMPRE CON I PIEDI PER TERRA. Alice e Viola sono gemelle identiche. Viola si è affacciata per prima al mondo, Alice l’ha seguita da vicino stringendole forte la caviglia. A unirle, un legame che loro soltanto sono in grado di comprendere e una promessa che si sono scambiate da piccole, intrecciando i mignoli: "Non ti mentirò mai". Per tutti, sono indistinguibili: hanno gli stessi amici, frequentano gli stessi posti, hanno le stesse abitudini e gli stessi sogni.

"The Fir-Tree" (Danish: Grantræet) is a literary fairy tale by the Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875). The tale is about a fir tree so anxious to grow up, so anxious for greater things, that he cannot appreciate living in the moment. The tale was first published 21 December 1844 with "The Snow Queen", in Copenhagen, Denmark, by C.A. Reitzel.
