Historical Fiction

[close] Lettori sui generis è l'evoluzione dello storico YA e dintorni: gli anni e le letture hanno allargato i nostri orizzonti, andando ad aggiungere alla letteratura per ragazzi letteratura di ogni genere (letteralmente ;)). Esploriamo il mainstream e lo storico, ogni declinazione del giallo e del fantasy, della fantascienza e della distopia, con un occhio di riguardo ai classici. Romanzi, novelle, antologie, graphic novel: la forma, come il genere, non rappresenta un limite, ma un'ulteriore invito alla lettura. Ci guidano curiosità e passione per la parola: chiunque arrivi da noi per la strada delle storie è il benvenuto. :)

[close] Ever felt that moment when you've just finished a book, but the characters are still inside your hearts? When you are yearning to know what happens next, but are stuck in a juxtaposition of endless possibilities? When you see an entire world still rolling out before and beyond you, but the words are just out of your grasp? When an ending leaves you stunned and stunted on your bed, wishing fervently you could go back in time and start the book all over again? If you ever felt these moments and want to share them with the rest of us, then this one's for you. If you have flown and sailed and done thousands of other things while sitting on your bed, then this one's for you. If you have had your heart beat faster and your thoughts come alive and whizz freely through your mind with the power of a single word, sentence or phrase, then this one's for you. If you are a reader just like that, if you are an explorer, adventurer or dreamer, if you have gone above and beyond and still stayed still... then welcome to "The 'Schrödinger's Cats'."

[close] Reading takes you places. Where in the world will your next book take you? If you love world literature, translated works, travel writing, or exploring the world through books, you have come to the right place! ATW80 began in 2009 as a challenge on TNBBC. The separate group was established in 2011. Anyone can join and participate in the challenges or readings at any time. Challenge participation is not a requirement of joining. Anyone who loves reading books from around the world is welcome here. The main purpose of this group is to travel the world through books, experiencing new authors and cultures along the way. Want to read about the world? We have close to 50,000 books cataloged by setting and more are added each week. I personally started reading around the world in 2008. This venture has introduced me to far off lands, fresh viewpoints, and many new authors I might not have discovered otherwise. Here is a record of my travels since 2009: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/18478768-diane-s-world-travels-by-book I have worked very hard gathering resources for others to use and coming up with new activities.
