Book Description
Per qualche istante si senti inghiottita dal fondo. Avvertiva solo il rumore del vento che ruggiva attraverso i fitti rami e che si attorcigliava fra i capelli. Correva lungo un viottolo ben battuto e senza aiuole, l'inverno era passato da poco perche l'aria che le sbatteva in faccia era tiepida e gradevole, e il cupo verso dei gufi le dava il senso della notte. Improvvisamente si alzo una fitta nebbia che le copri i passi dilatandosi ai lati in piccole spire. Jess si volto piena d'ansia, il cuore le martellava nelle orecchie e nel petto, e per un momento ebbe la percezione che la nausea la stesse per sopraffare. Pur di sentirsi al sicuro avrebbe gettato via tutto, anche quella belva furiosa che le stava dilaniando l'anima a forza di morsi. Si era persa nell'oblio. In un baratro che non le dava scampo. Era imprigionata nella sua parte oscura.

Book Description
Charles Paterno was seven when he left Castelmezzano, a small mountain town in Basilicata to set sail on one of the rattletrap ships headed to America. Thirty years later he was one of the top builders in New York City, among the first to construct the skyscrapers that would form the world's most famous skyline. Intelligence, brilliance, intuition and an ability to stay ahed of the times made him a leading figure in the life of Manhattan. He created garden communities, focused on new technologies and turned to the best architects. Paterno didn't just want to offer houses, but new lifestyles to tens of thousands of people. His first American dream looked like a white castle at the northernmost tip of Manhattan, where he lived for years with his wife and son, sorrounded by a small but very loyal retinue. A friend of Giuseppe Prezzolini, he donated a library of 20.000 books, the Paterno Library, to the Casa Italiana at Columbia University. Fiorello La Guardia, the Italian-American mayor of New York City, called him a genius. Born into poverty, Paterno died a wealthy man on the green of the most exclusive country club in Westchester.
