Bentornati su Bookatini - il podcast per chi è ghiotto di libri. Nella puntata 55, parliamo dei libri che abbiamo letto di recente, in particolare con il gruppo di lettura Il circolo della Dama, che si tiene nella bioprofumeria di Fra Dama Verbena a Bergamo.
Come al solito trovate tutti i riferimenti ai libri citati anche nella carrellata delle copertine della pagina Instagram bookatini_podcast. Nell’episodio di oggi abbiamo chiacchierato di questi libri:

• L’isola degli alberi scomparsi, di Elif Shafak, Rizzoli editore

• Oliva Denaro, di Viola Ardone, Einaudi editore

Potete contattarci, scrivere commenti, suggerimenti, domande e condividete con noi le vostre letture su questo tema contattandoci nella pagina Instagram Bookatini_podcast, dove potete trovare anche le nostre live, in onda a mercoledì alterni, o più probabilmente un mercoledì al mese.

What did we discuss?

Literature, discrimination and emotional intelligence. Elif & I talked about why storytelling matters in the fight for just and equality. And Elif shared some tips on how YOU can become a writer, as everyone has a story to tell.

My favorite quote of the episode was, “When we travel into someone else's truth, it connects us with our fellow human beings and makes us realize that the truth can change.”

You can find Elif on Instagram @shafakelif and at her website.

Iñaki Manero plática con la Dra. Tamara Trottner de la recomendación de la semana, se trata de Mis últimos 10 minutos y 38 segundos en este extraño mundo de Elif Shafak

Sinopsis:
El cerebro permanece activo unos diez minutos después de que el corazón deje de latir. Durante ese lapso, mientras el cuerpo de Leila yace en un contenedor de basura a las fueras de Estambul, el tiempo fluye y, minuto a minuto, le trae un nuevo recuerdo: la infancia con su padre y sus dos madres en una casa grande y antigua de una apacible ciudad de Turquía; los chismorreos de las mujeres cuando los hombres están en la mezquita; la huida a Estambul para escapar de los abusos y las mentiras familiares y de un matrimonio concertado; el amor hallado de manera inesperada en el burdel de Mamá Amarga... Y los cinco amigos que hace en el camino «su verdadera familia» y que, mientras agoniza, tratan desesperadamente de encontrarla.
