She lives a quiet life caring for her alcoholic mother, working in the local chip shop, watching the regular customers come and go. But underneath Majella’s seemingly ordinary life are the facts that she doesn’t know where her father is and that every person in her town has been changed by the lingering divide between Protestants and Catholics.

So much of our lives can be impacted by online interactions—and not all those interactions are positive. Why does the internet seem to encourage bad behavior from some users? Why do we feel we need to share so much of our private lives with the online world? Is screen time really as addictive as the headlines say?

Fiabe, Sacre Scritture e grandi opere letterarie non sono semplicemente storie di personaggi immaginari, giunteci da epoche troppo remote e da culture troppo altrui. Sono ricostruzioni di un'iniziazione personale, veri e proprio manuali per divenire tutto ciò che oggi è l'equivalente degli antichi eroi, re ribelli e profeti. "I confini del mondo" è una guida verso un modo strettamente personale di superare se stessi e di diventare nuovi. In ogni istante.

"Desidero parlare con te di quel che sto scoprendo sui desideri.

Dopo il recente golpe mancato, impadronitosi di ogni apparato statale, abbandonato ogni discorso europeo, Erdogan mira a far diventare la Turchia leader di un'area vastissima (che ricalca quella dell'antico impero ottomano) e paese guida dei sunniti.
