"L'asilo nel bosco" è un progetto pedagogico rivolto ai bambini dai 2 ai 6 anni che si propone di rispondere ai loro bisogni attraverso una quotidianità scolastica che si svolge quasi per intero all'aria aperta. Nell'asilo nel bosco la classe, intesa come spazio chiuso e sempre uguale, scompare e lascia il posto all'ambiente esterno ricco di stimoli. Così facendo i bambini 'imparano facendo' attraverso diverse esperienze che stimolano la curiosità, l'immaginazione, l'autonomia e la creatività.

After twenty-five years in the remote English countryside, living under an assumed name, Erica Miller has decided it’s time for the world to hear her story—from her point of view, rather than from the tabloids or the gossips who think she got away with murder. She hires Prudence Carr to write about her privileged childhood, her marriage, the affairs, the day her husband disappeared, and the day his body was found in the marshes. Despite evidence against her, the jury refused to convict, leaving Erica to live a life of quiet isolation.

"Il viaggiatore vide città che esistevano identiche duemilatrecento anni avanti che lui passasse. Era vestito di bianco e calzava sandali: era forse quella l'unica misura per rispettare un luogo. Riempiva il taccuino di impressioni. Al ritorno si accorse che le pagine erano completamente bianche, come se la sua scrittura fosse scivolata via." Non meno aeree e trasognate dei luoghi fantastici creati da Swift o Rabelais, le città visitate in questo viaggio esoterico hanno sembianze reali, nomi consueti, segni tracciati su mappe e segnavia.

Nel 1871, quando il sedicenne Arthur Rimbaud, da Charleville, invia i propri versi a Paul Verlaine, che di anni ne ha ventisette ed è già uno stimato poeta, non può immaginare che quella lettera cambierà per sempre il loro destino. Verlaine, entusiasta, invita subito Arthur a Parigi, dove i due si amano, si ubriacano, litigano, scrivono versi. Suscitando ovviamente le furie della moglie di Verlaine che da pochi mesi gli ha dato anche un figlio. Paul e Arthur fuggono a Londra dove sopravvivono tra baruffe e sbronze, passione e poesia.

“Io dico che bisogna essere veggente, farsi veggente. Il Poeta si fa veggente attraverso una lunga, immensa e ragionata sregolatezza di tutti i sensi.” Tra l’aprile e il maggio 1875 per alcune settimane Arthur Rimbaud, il grande autore di Vocali, Il Battello ebbro e Una stagione all’inferno, dall’esistenza scandalosa e ricca di colpi di scena, si ferma a Milano dove sembra essere ospitato nella casa di una misteriosa vedova, affacciata su piazza Duomo.

"Nicolas" è il racconto di un amore, lungo vent'anni, tra due uomini; è la visione limpida e travolgente di una malattia terminale; è la storia di una vita intensa, vissuta senza impianti fino all'ultimo giorno. Navigando nella memoria e contemplando i ricordi che a mano a mano riemergono – viaggi, frammenti d’infanzia, libri, fotografie, musiche, case – l'autore risponde all’urgenza di riappropriarsi di un passato ormai sommerso eppure ancora capace di esprimere messaggi di felicità.

On a bleak January day in 1845, a poet who had been confined to her room for four years by recurrent illness received a letter from a writer she secretly idolized but had never seen. “I love your verses with all my heart, dear Miss Barrett,” Robert Browning wrote, “and I love you too.” Elizabeth Barrett was ecstatic. She was famous for her poetry but completely cut off from the kind of international travel that Browning used to fuel his obscure, unsuccessful, innovative poems, one of which was written from a murderer’s point of view.
