Sinossi

Mad and Crazy people S.p.a. by Pier-Giorgio Tomatis 


The only interest that always rises is the private one ... in the public sector. 


Marco Calcagno is a quiet middle-aged man who lives in Pinerolo and is a teacher of literature at the M. Buniva Institute. He is so loved by his students and by all the inhabitants of city that someone has the idea of running him for national elections. He wins easily and without too much effort. The doors of the Parliament of Rome open before him. Everything would seem spinning smoothly as oil were it not that Marco has a small peculiarity. He is convinced that he has an imaginary friend, he talks to her in parliamentary sessions and also in front of the cameras. 


With this premise, a series of situations at times tender, at times tragic, at times comical begin, which upset public opinion and the normal canons of Italian politics. 


Also because ... the ideas of the imaginary woman prove to be more intelligent than those of many expert deputies and senators. What would you do? Would you like a man like that to represent you?

How to Be a Man (Whatever That...

James Breakwell

There's no wrong way to be a woman. There are countless wrong ways to be a man. 
 
 
 
James Breakwell should know. He's tried just about all of them. Journalism. Pig ownership. Felony lawn gnome theft. Whatever masculinity is supposed to be, this can't be it. But can you really fail at something no one can quite define? Apparently. 
 
 
 
Now, in a series of funny, sharply observed, and occasionally poignant essays, everyone's favorite internet-famous father of four daughters lays down a lifetime of lessons in what it means to be a man. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll wonder what really happened to those creepy lawn gnomes on that deserted country road. (Spoiler alert: They're right behind you.) 
 
 
 
If you ever wanted to know how to fail at altruism, dodge the priesthood, and stumble your way into unexpected wisdom, this book is for you. 
 
 
 
How to Be a Man (Whatever that Means) presents a vision of manhood that looks very different from what you'll see on TV. And that's a good thing. Probably.
