Summary

The book "GRANDMA ELISABETH A CASA AZZURRA" opens up to the reader a world very close to English, Italian and civilized families throughout the world, namely the one relating to Rest Homes for the so-called SELF-SUFFICIENT people of the third age, but who often use a walker cart. There are aspects of daily life, friendships and relationships between them, with the Sisters who manage Casa Azzurra, as well as with doctors, civil workers and family members. The latter are fundamental for their physical and mental health with their affection and their visits, which have an effect comparable to that obtained with medical therapies and with good material, physical and spiritual assistance. It reflects the English, Italian and other nations of the world society, because the people hosted are mostly women, who live longer than men. Foreigners such as NONNA ELISABETH are also starting to be present, a sign that Italian society is increasingly international and multiracial.

    Joseph Conrad, crafted a trilogy of literary works that delve into the complexities of human nature and the intricacies of colonialism. In "Nostromo," Conrad navigates the treacherous waters of political upheaval and greed in a fictional South American country. The tale follows Nostromo, a skilled and enigmatic sailor, as he becomes embroiled in the struggle for power and wealth, revealing the corrosive effects of ambition and the blurred lines between personal gain and loyalty. 
     
    "Heart of Darkness,", is a haunting exploration of the human psyche set against the backdrop of the brutal colonization of Africa. The novella follows Marlow, a sailor journeying up the Congo River, as he encounters the enigmatic Kurtz, a figure whose descent into madness and depravity serves as a reflection of the dark underbelly of European imperialism. Through vivid and often harrowing imagery, Conrad scrutinizes the moral and psychological toll of colonial exploitation, challenging readers to confront the shadows that lie within civilization's hearts. 
     
    In "Chance," Conrad shifts focus to the complexities of love, fate, and society. The novel centers on Flora de Barral, whose life is marred by her father's scandalous reputation and her own struggles for independence. As she navigates societal expectations and personal desires, Conrad weaves a narrative that illuminates the interplay between individual choices and the unpredictable twists of destiny. With his intricate prose and keen observations, Conrad crafts a tale that underscores the fragility of human connections and the role of chance in shaping lives. 
     
     Conrad demonstrates his profound understanding of human psychology, his critique of colonialism's ethical dimensions, and his exploration of the capricious nature of fate.

    Lady Kiera Darby and her dashing husband, Sebastian Gage, hope they've finally found peace after a tumultuous summer, but long-buried family secrets soon threaten to unravel their lives . . . 
     
     
     
    October 1832. Kiera is enjoying the slower pace of the English countryside. She, Sebastian, and their infant daughter have accompanied her father-in-law, Lord Gage, home so that he can recuperate from the injuries he sustained in a foiled attempt on his life. But as the chill of autumn sweeps across the land, they receive a summons from an unexpected quarter. Lord Gage's estranged uncle—a member of the notorious Roscarrock family—has been murdered, and his family is desperate for answers. Despite Lord Gage's protests, Kiera and Sebastian press on to Cornwall to assist. 
     
     
     
    It isn't long before they discover that almost nothing is as it seems among the Roscarrocks, and they've been lured to their isolated cove under false pretenses. There are whispers of a lost treasure and frightening allusions to a series of murders stretching back decades that touch the lives of the family personally. Kiera and Sebastian are left with no choice but to uncover the truth before the secrets of the past threaten to destroy them all.
