These 20 short stories were written from 2006 to 2013 by Thomas Leverett, who spent years teaching ESL - thus learning to scorn flourish and pretension in writing. His stories are bold and memorable

Twenty-one short stories best described as Americana, although not all stories are set in the US. The style is from an ESL/EFL background: free of flowery prose or oblique references. The reference to the Golden Rule amounts to this: All of life is noticing how what you do comes back around to affect you. Short stories must, by nature, embrace this.

"Providence was founded in 1636 by a rogue named Roger Williams. Williams escaped here when Massachusetts was ready to deport him back to England. In the almost 400 years since, we've become infamous for all sorts of crimes and misdemeanors, including serving as home base for the Patriarca crime family for decades. My very own Uncle Eddie - I can hear Mama Rose screaming at me: 'He wasn't a blood relative! He was related through marriage!' - was gunned down in the Silver Lake section of town in 1964."

Non sempre al primo colpo si capisce chi abbiamo a fianco, ma la seconda volta sì. Leo Fellani non si ritiene uno stupido, eppure deve ammettere che anche un imprenditore di successo come lui a volte può commettere errori grossolani. E il suo ultimo sbaglio è stato sedurre l'avvocato Ellie Benson.

Un lusso che non possiamo più permetterci, per alcuni. Un pilastro a tutela dei diritti e dell'accesso ai beni comuni, per altri. I welfare state sono esperienze squisitamente nazionali, esposti alle sfide della crisi e della globalizzazione, ma anche delle trasformazioni demografiche e culturali. Questo audiolibro ci spiega come sono nati e come si sono sviluppati, dando forma a modelli diversi di cittadinanza.

Tutto sommato il conformismo gode di una certa fama, almeno in parte, immeritata. Una certa condivisione del modo di pensare e agire degli altri è indispensabile nella vita di relazione.

Dall'Etna all'hawaiano Kilauea, dal Vesuvio all'islandese Eyjafjallajökull, la storia dei vulcani parla di eventi catastrofici, ma anche di convivenze e sviluppo di grandi civiltà: la loro pericolosità non ha infatti mai impedito all'uomo di tornare a vivere in aree devastate da un'eruzione. L'audiolibro ci fa scoprire e amare i giganti di fuoco spiegandoci come la loro storia sia indissolubilmente legata a quella della vita sulla terra, quale influenza abbiano sul clima globale, come interagiscano con l'ambiente e come possano rappresentare una risorsa.

Al suo primo apparire "Gomorra" era l'opera prima di un giornalista e blogger poco conosciuto. La sua novità e la sua forza si sono imposte rapidamente sul pubblico, facendo del libro un caso letterario e dell'autore, Roberto Saviano, una icona della lotta antimafia. Adattato per il teatro e poi per il cinema, divenuto infine una serie TV di grande successo internazionale, "Gomorra" è un esempio di "narrazione transmediale" di notevole impatto.
