Now in its sixth edition Leggere il mondo, the digital guide devoted to upper secondary education. Designed as a support tool for teachers, parents, booksellers, librarians, and educators, it offers over 40 carefully selected titles and is organized into reading paths. The theme of this new issue is research: into beauty, into rights, into new opportunities, and into the relationship with others. This issue (of which the article above is part) is also enriched by a new section of teaching sheets for classroom work that are downloadable and customizable by teachers.
The Protagonist of the Odyssey? The Word by Nicola Gardini

I write about books the way I read them: slowly, curiously, and with attention to the details that linger after the final page. At Lythrum Press, I cover literary fiction, essays, memoirs and the wider culture of reading, with a particular interest in voices that challenge familiar ways of seeing the world. My work is guided by one simple idea: a good book deserves more than a reaction — it deserves a conversation.
