” Nous étions repartis. Une seule de nos années solaires s’était écoulée depuis que nous avions été obligés d’abandonner leur planète de toute urgence, mais pour eux, pour les Terriens,3600 années étaient passées.Qu’allions-nous trouver? ”Nibiru, la douzième planète de notre système solaire, a une orbite elliptique à l’extrême, rétrograde et remarquablement plus grande que celle de toutes les autres planètes. Elle met en effet 3600 ans environ à faire un tour complet autour du Soleil. Depuis des centaines de milliers d’années, ses habitants, profitant de ces rapprochements cycliques, nous ont systématiquement rendu visite, influençant à chaque fois notre culture, nos connaissances, notre technologie et jusqu’à l’évolution même de l’espèce humaine. Nos prédécesseurs leur ont donné bien des noms, mais celui qui, depuis toujours, les représente le mieux, est celui de « Dieux ». Atzakis et Pétri, deux sympathiques habitants de cette étrange planète, reviennent sur Terre à bord de leur vaisseau spatial Théos pour récupérer un mystérieux chargement, très précieux, caché lors de leur dernière visite. Un récit captivant, drôle, mais aussi plein de suspense, et qui propose une relecture d’événements historiques qui pourrait bien vous bouleverser.

The fragile but strong friend next door, in search of Love, inner Beauty and whatever else the life and a trip to India will dedicate her. Stefania through the latter will explore costumes, customs, traditions and the different religions that coexist with related Divinity, ascetics and celebrations. Finally she will know the Essence. It will be like retiring in a beautiful and unspoiled glimpse of Nature, where there is nothing and no one but the encounter and profound communion with one's self.”I loved it for aesthetic reasons and for the sensitivity you have in telling, a truly rare quality – nowadays, most of the writers get some writing done in such a rude way… you have class instead, and sensitivity and sense of narrative, you are one of those storytellers who I would keep listening open-mouthed for hours… it is also a delicate moment for me and then, on a personal level, it has ”upset me”… It had a terrible ”cathartic effect”, pleasant and a little scary at the same time… You have a beautiful talent, what I call the ability of real writers to let their readers live other lives by expanding their own experiences that perhaps they will never truly live, but it's like… The autobiographical style is a brave choice. This function is even more needed, but I guess it has not been an easy path… I thank you for having written it and have enriched me!” Laura

La sua vita è l'esatto opposto di quello che ha sempre sognato e, a renderla ancor peggiore, è suo padre Gary, tiranno e spietato. Una mattina Jane esce di casa per non farvi più ritorno: si porta con sé un taglierino che utilizzerà in un parco per tagliarsi le vene; crede che con questo gesto tutte le sue pene e i suoi inferni sarebbero finiti e, per di più, avrebbe incontrato sua madre in paradiso, unico desiderio che ha nel momento in cui la lama scorre veloce sulla sua pelle, ma non sa che ad aspettarla c'è una meravigliosa strada da percorrere e che, di lì a breve, vivrà un'esperienza che le cambierà per sempre la vita.Jane Madison, studentessa del peggior liceo di Seattle, figlia di un padre tiranno e violento, è stanca di vivere.Ha provato in tutti i modi ad uscire fuori da quel malessere, senza però riuscirci.
