Böcker av Giada Nizzoli

Steeped in nostalgia and memorable imagery, Ghost Hometowns will take you from sunny but decadent Italian landscapes to the cold streets of London, full of unseizable possibilities. This poetry book explores the disorienting feeling of not knowing where you belong. Written from a migrant's perspective, it's a doomed quest for a home in your birth country, abroad, and even with family sharing opposite views. Let it guide you through your own, unescapable journey!

Una città, schiacciata tra delle montagne di marmo e il Mar Tirreno.

Con questi racconti, ti porterà in una delle sue città, aggiungendo un pizzico di magia al tuo viaggio. O, forse, aiutandoti a vedere quella che vi è già nascosta.[Questa collezione di racconti contiene come bonus il saggio breve 'Paesi Natali Stranieri: La Forte Relazione tra Realismo Magico e Nostalgia Esilica']
