Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. As in his widely praised Fists, Pietro Grossi's The Break brings out the epic human drama in a tale of everyday life in his characteristically lucid, stripped-down prose. Dino is a placid, unambitious man. Living in a small provincial town, he and his wife spend their time planning journeys to faraway places - journeys they never take. Dino's only passion is billiards, and he spends his evenings in the local billiards hall honing his technique. One day, however, Dino's quiet life is interrupted: his wife is pregnant. This the first in a series of events that shake him from his slumber and force him to test himself for the first time. Translated from the Italian by award-winning translator Howard Curtis, Pietro Grossi's The Break echoes the styles of Hemingway, Salinger and is published by Pushkin Press 'Small and perfectly formed . reaching its end leaves the reader desirous to start all over again' - Amanda Hopkinson, Independent 'Howard Curtis's translation moves with the swiftness of Dino's cueball' - Guardian Pietro Grossi, writer and translator, was born in 1978 in Florence and currently lives and works in Tuscany. His novel Fists is also available from Pushkin Press. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Three boys, three diverging destinies-but what, or who, is pulling the strings? It was a memorable summer: with the broken-down old road that suddenly turned into a strip of gleaming asphalt, and the abandoned motorbike the three boys found as a rusty heap and built into a racer. But it was also more than that, more than a distraction from the boredom of their small Tuscan town, than a few weeks of racing and dodging the attentions of the local Marshal. For Jacopo and his two friends, it began their journeys out into the world, separated by thousands of miles, steered by something other than fate-helped on their way, and controlled. Tautly written and deeply moving, Enchantment is more than a simple coming-of-age story, it is a powerful, original novel from an important, compelling new author. Pietro Grossi, writer and translator, was born in 1978 in Florence and currently lives and works in Tuscany. His collection of short stories, Fists, and his novel The Breakare also published by Pushkin Press. "A fine writer" Tobias Jones, The Sunday Times Praise for The Break:"Small and perfectly formed . reaching its end leaves the reader desirous to start all over again" Amanda Hopkinson, IndependentPraise for Fists: "There is more power and pathos in this short piece of spare, timeless prose than in most densely-written novels" Daniel Hahn, Independent. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Condition: MOLTO BUONO. Sin da quando era ragazzo Dino si era messo in testa di imparare a giocare a biliardo. Voleva lezioni da Cirillo, il più bravo ed esperto del circolo, carpirne il segreto, la magica misteriosa alchimia con cui riusciva a carezzare quelle sfere lucide e colorate. Ma Cirillo non voleva saperne, almeno sino a quando Dino non fosse riuscito a far tornare la palla esattamente al punto di partenza, né un millimetro più, né un millimetro meno, e non una sola volta - il caso avrebbe potuto aiutarlo - ma proprio tutte le volte. Gli ci vogliono tre anni; ma alla fine Dino ottiene che Cirillo diventi il suo maestro, anche se a quel punto, posseggono entrambi la magia del biliardo. Gioco fatto di lunghi silenzi, di riflessioni e ragionamenti, metafora della vita: le geometrie perfette che si disegnano sul tavolo verde rimettono le cose in riga, così come il lavoro di Dino, pavimentatore di strade. Incastrare i ciottoli nella terra, cacciarli a martellate nella rena, uno dopo l'altro, milioni di ciottoli. Anche loro, così ben allineati, corrispondono all'ordine che regna nella vita di Dino, fatta di piccole felicità: la moglie Sofia, i viaggi che fanno ogni sera, restando seduti in soggiorno, i pochi amici. Poi Giani, il funzionario del Comune, gli annunzia che arriva l'asfalto: Dino e la sua squadra dovranno dimenticare il mosaico dei ciottoli. E accadono altre cose, che avvisano Dino che il suo idillio di vita era cosa troppo fragile. cm.11,5x19,5, pp.199, Coll.Il Contesto,18.

Condition: COME NUOVO. Il Ballerino è per bene, prende bei voti, non ha mai una ragazza, è goffo e dice sempre la cosa sbagliata: fa pugilato per riappropriarsi dell'esistenza; con la sua leggerezza da libellula sul quadrato è diventato una leggenda, ma la madre gli vieta di salire sul ring e lui non si è mai misurato. La Capra è povero, è sordo e non riuscire a sentire le voci lo ha escluso dal mondo, combatte con testarda determinazione ed è un campione, ma vuole sapere se veramente è lui il più forte. Boxe, il primo di questi tre ritratti di giovani alle prese con l'iniziazione alla vita, parla di palestre e odori di corpi, di sacrifici e rese, della prova e della sfida, della rivelazione del senso segreto della vita. cm.11,5x19,5, pp.188, Coll.Il Contesto,10.
