Embassy Film Series: Il Sole Dentro
Dear members and friends,
The 2016 Italian Embassy Film Series is on again this Friday, 6pm at the University of Auckland (Building: Arts 1, second floor, Lecture Theatre 220).
This is a free event and we look forward to seeing you there!
Il Sole Dentro (Bright Flight) 2012, a deeply touching film directed by Paolo Bianchini which tells the tale of two stories. 1999 – Yaguine and Fode’, two Guinean teenagers write a letter to describe the situation of all the children in their country “To their Excellencies the members and leaders of Europe”. Their plan is to deliver it by hand so they hide in the cargo compartment of a plan to Brussels. 2009 – Thabo, a teenager taken from his African village for his promising football player abilities, gets thrown out on the street once he is no longer deemed up to standard. Rocco, his training team mate, finds him and together they start their journey from Europe to Africa to return to N’Dola where Thabo’s family lives.
Parking: the Owen Glenn Building, via Grafton Rd opposite Stanley St, has five storey of parking and a flat rate from 5pm; it is very handy to the University.
Vi aspettiamo!

Books! Libri! New arrivals! Nuovi arrivi!
New arrivals at
the Dante’s Library!
Among the many
new titles, you can find Umberto Eco’s “L’isola del giorno prima”, Ken Follet’s
“Codice zero” and the “Twilight” saga in Italian.
For those of you
who are interested in the phenomenon of organized crime and/or Italian
mysteries, we suggest you to read Giovanni Falcone’s “Cose di Cosa Nostra”
(Giovanni Falcone is a judge and prosecuting magistrate who was killed by Mafia
in 1992) and Massimo Centini’s “Misteri
d’Italia”.
On the same
subject, in English, you will be able to find John Dickie’s “Cosa Nostra, a
history of the sicilian Mafia” and Peter
Robb’s “Midnight in Sicily”.
A special mention
for another new arrival, the winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Price “La breve vita
di Oscar Wao”, in the superb Italian translation done by Silvia Pareschi.
Silvia Parteschi also translated books of Jonathan Franzen, Don DeLillo, Zadie
Smith and Julie Otsuka. An interview with her, conducted by Matteo not long ago,
will be published in the Dante’s blog soon (stay tuned).
Dante’s Library
is always open and available for students, members and the curious. Just come
and have a look.
If you have
questions you can find Matteo every Thursday morning between 10am and midday.
Buone letture!
Nuovi arrivi nella biblioteca della Dante!
Tra i nuovi titoli troviamo “L’isola del giorno prima” di Umberto Eco, “Codice zero” di Ken Follet e tutta la saga di “Twilight” in italiano.
Per chi è interessato al fenomeno della criminalità organizzata e ai misteri italiani, consigliamo “Cose di Cosa Nostra” di Giovanni Falcone e “Misteri d’Italia” di Massimo Centini.
In inglese, sempre sul medesimo argomento, potete trovare “Cosa Nostra, a history of the sicilian Mafia” di John Dickie e “Midnight in Sicily” di Peter Robb.
Una menzione particolare anche per un altro nuovo arrivo, il vincitore del Premio Pulitzer 2008 “La breve vita di Oscar Wao”, tradotto in italiano dalla bravissima Silvia Pareschi (traduttrice tra gli altri anche di Jonathan Franzen, Don DeLillo, Zadie Smith e Julie Otsuka) di cui prossimamente pubblicheremo anche un’intervista fatta non molto tempo fa da Matteo Telara.
La biblioteca della Dante è sempre aperta e disponibile per gli studenti, i membri e i curiosi.
Se avete domande in particolare, Matteo è sempre presente la mattina del giovedì tra le dieci e mezzogiorno.
Buone letture!
