The journey of Nausicaa

Monica Morganti

Sinossi

Milan, 1927. Nausicaa, a young Milanese painter, has just bought her ticket for the transatlantic voyage to New York, where she will exhibit one of her paintings at the International Exhibition of Modern Art in Brooklyn. On the same day, however, she begins to suffer from a severe form of photophobia that puts her imminent departure at risk. These are the roaring years of jazz by Armstrong and Gershwin, the books of Scott Fitzgerald and Pirandello, in a Milan full of new buildings with Art Nouveau decorations and furnishings, and Nausicaa is a child of those times... In search of a decisive cure, she begins a journey into the nascent analytical psychology with a student of Dr Jung, from whom she learns to dialogue with her soul and understand the
symbolic meaning of her symptoms. Who knows if this journey within herself will really take her to New York...?

Eleven Wings - The Complete Series

Brittni Chenelle

To be fair, everyone was already dead when I got there.
My name is Valerie and I’m a traitor . . . At least, that’s what the Valkyries tell me when I arrive in purgatory. I can’t remember, so how the hell can I prove my innocence? In the meantime, the Valkyries are training me to help them keep the darkness at bay, but I’m pretty sure they got the wrong girl. You see, the darkness calls to me, and the closer I get to it, the more I suspect the Valkyries might be right about me. They’re watching closely—especially Jaemin. He’s hella sexy and taking this betrayal situation rather personally. Now I’m on a desperate mission to clear my name and prove that I’m the champion they need.
But the more I dig, the more I believe that the Valkyries are far from innocent. Each of the guardians of light hides a sinister secret of their own and I’m going to get to the bottom of it even if it brings hell down on us all.

The Shadow of the Bell Tower -...

Stefano Vignaroli

Year 2017: the young scholar Lucia Balleani, arranging and classifying the texts of the library of the Hoenstaufen Foundation, starts working in the old palace that had been the residence of the noble Baldeschi-Balleani family, of which she is a direct descendant. A series of visions linked to what happened to Lucia Baldeschi, of the same name, will lead the reader to discover with her an interesting story that took place in the same place 500 years before. During the Renaissance Jesi is rich in art and culture and where new and sumptuous palaces are built on the ruins of the ancient Roman city, lives a young countess, Lucia Baldeschi. The girl is the granddaughter of an evil Cardinal, weaver of obscure plots aimed at centralizing both temporal and ecclesiastical power in his own hands. Lucia, a person with a strong intelligence, becomes friend with a printer, Bernardino, with whom she share the passion for the rebirth of the arts, sciences and culture, which are characterizing the period throughout Italy. She will find herself caught between the duty to obey her uncle, who made her grow up and educate her in the palace in the absence of her parents, and the passionate love for Andrea Franciolini, son of the People`s Capitan and designated victim of the Cardinal`s tyranny. The story is also told through the eyes of Lucia Balleani, a young scholar descendent of the noble family. In 2017, exactly 500 years after the events, she discovered ancient documents in the family palace, and reconstructed the complex history of which traces had been lost.

Edgar Allen Poe: Five Creepy...

Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe has the genius to manipulate language so well that he could engage my imagination and get me terrified even though little was 'done' in the sense of horrible actions described. My imagination, under the power of his creepy words, conjured the atmosphere and amplified the scariness all by itself. In this recording I've chosen some of his stories that did this so well and succeed in leaving lingering hair raising memories with me to enjoy all through my life: The Telltale Heart; The Masque of the Red Death; The Black Cat; The Raven and the Casque of Amontillado. I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I did narrating them.
