The book was one of the major literary cases of the 1980s, and continues to have enormous success with the public today, in Italy and around the world. Rightly or wrongly considered Milan Kundera's masterpiece, it is the most successful example of the novel-essay form dear to the Bohemian author, a French citizen since 1981.   SUMMARY     The plot of the novel develops within a philosophical framework. From a reflection of the narrator on the heavy-light opposition, derived from the Parmenidean one between non-being and being, intertwined with the Nietzschean

Anna begins her diary when she is still a free girl; the family, of German origin, moved to Holland after Nazism came to power in Germany in 1933. When Adolf Hitler assumed the office of Führer (in German, "leader, guide") and started the racial persecution against the Jews, Otto Frank, Anna's father, moves his wife, eldest daughter Margot and Anna to Amsterdam, where he undertakes a profitable business. When the Nazi army invades and occupies Holland, the Frank family is forced to take refuge in a "secret annex" (in Dutch, Het Achterhuis, the "back home", which is also the original title of the work).  Anna, who received

Mary's father, William Godwin (1756-1836), was a prominent political philosopher, and her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797), an early English feminist thinker. Frankenstein was published anonymously in 1818 (with a preface by her husband and a dedication to her father), but in 1823 a second edition of the novel was published in France, this time with the author's name. In 1831, still riding the wave of the novel's success, the third edition of Frankenstein was published, heavily revised by the author. The novel also has a very curious origin, as it was born from a literary competition between friends. During the very rainy summer of 1816, Mary and Percy stayed in a villa on Lake Geneva with John Polidori (1795-1821), hosted by Lord Byron (1788-1824). The latter,

The novel is a classic of children's literature and follows the adventures of two children, the orphan Mary and her cousin Colin, who work to make a garden hidden by a high wall on the estate of Colin's father and forgotten by him after the death of his wife, which occurred in that very place, flourish again. The secret garden presents numerous very modern pedagogical ideas compared to the education that was given in the years in which it was conceived. The text, in fact, claims an unprecedented ability of children to operate sensibly and help each other to get out of a moment of crisis. The characters in the novel, therefore, show that they can manage their time independently without necessarily needing the severe supervision

The story is ideally inspired by the life of Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha, who however is not the true protagonist. In fact, the plot tells, with a complex style that intertwines lyrical and epic, the events of a young Indian, a sort of potential Buddha, where the real character of Siddhartha is present only in the background and is called Gotama. Siddharta is therefore not an ascetic mystic, but rather a young man who seeks the path best suited to him in life through reasoning and the attempt to understand the deepest reality of things. The book, especially starting from the 1960s, has become a classic of literature and a great success with the public (especially young people) for the themes it deals with (the search for oneself, the conflict with the typical world of adolescence, the rejection of e
