Book Description
La notte diventa giorno, e il giorno diventa luce. La luce diventa sole, e il sole comincia a splendere. Lo splendore diventa bagliore, e il bagliore diventa ruscello. Il ruscello diventa fiume... (dal testo) "La notte diventa giorno" è un viaggio poetico nel cambiamento, in cui oggetti e sensazioni si plasmano uno nell'altro seguendo l'ordine ciclico della natura, in un'atmosfera sospesa fra l'alba e il tramonto di un giorno qualunque. L'alternarsi di notte e giorno è infatti il modello per una catena di metamorfosi che coinvolge situazioni e oggetti quotidiani, spesso di confine fra il mondo naturale e quello tipico dell'uomo, fino al ritorno finale al punto di partenza. Nello stile essenziale di Richard McGuire, le trasformazioni sono vivaci e personali, immaginate secondo la logica dei sogni e sempre immediate e riconoscibili da tutti, bambini e adulti. Le illustrazioni privilegiano tinte forti e definite, dai contrasti netti e con poche sfumature, mentre i contorni lineari degli oggetti e delle persone accompagnano graficamente la musicalità del testo, ricreando il senso di costante movimento che fa da sottofondo all'intero libro.

Book Description
In this exciting anthology the writer seeks to articulate the pertinent issues of everyday life of the African man in his quest for survival. The poems are there for the reader to enjoy and discern from the variety of impressions that life is portrayed from night to day. The writer has used these poems to tell the stories of the joys and sorrows of the African man as he tries so hard to follow his dreams, aspirations and comply with the demands of a dynamic, sophisticated environment- because he has experienced all of the primitive ways of life and all the issues of technological and scientific advances. In the fundamental issues of human kind there is utter chaos, strife, murders, wars and rumours of war, anarchy, famine, poverty ...The African man's vision is shuttered, aspiration is denied and sadly everything is out of control resulting in unfulfilled hopes and dreams. Even with these gloomy features engulfing him, the African man is convinced that the dawn of a new day will bring him hope and another chance to fix these problems once and for all.

Book Description
Sickness, starvation, brutality, and forced labour plagued the existence of tens of thousands of Allied POWs in World War II. More than a quarter of these POWs died in captivity. Long Night’s Journey into Day centres on the lives of Canadian, British, Indian, and Hong Kong POWs captured at Hong Kong in December 1941 and incarcerated in camps in Hong Kong and the Japanese Home Islands. Experiences of American POWs in the Philippines, and British and Australians POWs in Singapore, are interwoven throughout the book. Starvation and diseases such as diphtheria, beriberi, dysentery, and tuberculosis afflicted all these unfortunate men, affecting their lives not only in the camps during the war but after they returned home. Yet despite the dispiriting circumstances of their captivity, these men found ways to improve their existence, keeping up their morale with such events as musical concerts and entertainments created entirely within the various camps. Based largely on hundreds of interviews with former POWs, as well as material culled from archives around the world, Professor Roland details the extremes the prisoners endured — from having to eat fattened maggots in order to live to choosing starvation by trading away their skimpy rations for cigarettes. No previous book has shown the essential relationship between almost universal ill health and POW life and death, or provides such a complete and unbiased account of POW life in the Far East in the 1940s.
