Summary: A boat in the woods

Chapter One - A high school ... disappointing

Gaspar Torrente is a boy of thirteen years, having moved from his island in the south to northern Italy, prepares for its first year of high school. With his mother, he left his father Adrian, a summer job boatman and fisherman in the winter, to study in a school the north where, according to his prof. the medium of French, Madame Pilou, expectations of teachers towards the students are very high. While wanting to engage in learning, Gaspare is reluctant to leave but his father, convinced by his mother, originally from Piedmont, let the little dot in the vast sea to move to Turin from Aunt Elsa, a widow, was granted to his sister and nephew stay with her without spending much. So, now Gaspare meet every morning to make breakfast in the dark, not to wake his mother who works all day, and alone. E ', however, raised the idea that the commitments the school turn away from the thought of father and they roll time very quickly, to return as soon as possible on the island. Is wrong. Wrong because the first week of high school was "forbidden to school" to include students who attend high school "is like drinking a glass of water." Gaspare is disappointed not only by the week of hospitality, but also by what follows as festivals and other events except classes, study, translated versions as he used to do on the island. Even the relationship with classmates not going very well: First, most of his colleagues belong to very rich family and he instead a poor, second is very different from him, do not like to study, do not do and judge people by what they wear, what shoes to wear, so only the outer appearance without presenting a minimal interest in the feelings that one test. The young feel so excluded, no stranger to this very complicated system that he envisioned and instead turns out to be quite the opposite. His school level is very high and does not want to start over from scratch, but to continue learning. He realizes that the teachers are not adequately fulfill their role: they are still for months on one page, do not listen to his demands and especially come in late, why does a stream table that wants to submit to the Dean, from which we receive a treatment similar to that paid it by his teachers. E 'therefore' a boat in the woods, "which is found between narrow and wide, without knowing which group it belongs to, or if it is really part of someone.

spend so many months that Gaspar lives with suffering, without any consideration on the part of his companions, and waiting for the arrival of Christmas to return, even if briefly, on the island to see his father. Meanwhile, the dean advised him to attend the OA, that is the time to listen, to talk to profess a ready, in fact, to hear him. This teacher named Anna Cat, proves to be very polite and tries to "integrate", finding the problems that the boy found.

For Christmas Gaspare decide, on the advice of the Cat, ask the mother of a Play Station: she, however, despite having opened a food to meet the financial demands that could not be remedied by money sent by her husband, she says to choose between the return on the island or the Play Station. It turns out that the young do not get either of them gifts because, having chosen to go see his father, is forced to remain in Turin, with her mother to take care of Aunt Elsa became ill.

Chapter Two - A second year of "integration"

spent the summer in September Gaspar finds class in the past year and the problems of integration. During the holidays, went on the island, has revised his father and Giorgia, a childhood friend, but this does not say the Cat. I do not say why you ashamed to speak of his family, because they believe poor. Meanwhile, prompted by prof. OA urges the mother as a belt of fish imagines that this will succeed him to join the herd, that's got a belt like that. But it is wrong, but getting that item from Aunt Elsa, is not taken into account by the other for which he is a different, an alien, as he likes to call the Professor. gymnastics. The solution to your problem, however, finds it in a field that is very good: the Latin. In fact, as the daily companions copy the sentences to be translated by him, he strives with another person to make copies of his work and distribute it to the whole class. The plan works for some time, but still the prof. De Man, suspicious by the significant improvement of the students in his subject, he finds the whole thing and, furious, called the Dean who, once identified the two culprits, warns them only verbally. These events are earning a lot of support Gaspar, as well as the subsequent insult to the prof. French, by the class that is now known his belt, his new clothes, like jeans and tee ... Only one thing prevents them from making really part of the pack: his votes to reduce at least partially they prefer to be himself as well as his colleagues. Receives "lessons dog" by his companion, who were responsible sentences, presented to him the "Switch" and "Cab" and he feels truly part of the pack. These successes with others to cause some problems with the young mother and the school due to the fact that his commitment begins to dwindle considerably: he attends parties, losing one of the returns on the island, drinking beer at the age of 14 (- 15) years and above is meant to be identical to the others. Would like all they have in fact, his friends and even buy a cell phone. His major change is highlighted particularly by swearing that when he speaks by phone and says, surprised by his mother, is criticized quite a bit.

When Gaspar received the news of the upcoming arrival of Corinne everything seems to change. Corinne is a girl that will be hosted at the home of young, and he in turn will stop with her: these are the cultural exchanges that help, according to the fawns - Cerutti, to learn better French. This concludes another difficult year for that stream, while gaining the admiration of peers, it still feels excluded from the group especially for its social condition. When back in the summer on the island but no longer sees his father Giorgio. The dialogue between the two is very difficult because one would confess to not being able to stay in Turin because of people who are there and hopes that others ask him, while his father wants his son to say something for themselves. The problem is solved when the mother of Gaspar him to talk about his school work, friends and people who know him, this event is perhaps even worse than the previous silence as the claims of the young are mere lies: says as friends have some fantastic people, such as with Seba, translating Horace and walk along the Po, it is just lies saw that Sebastian does not deign even to answer the calls when Gaspare in beer, he considers that less than its level, the level of the son of billionaire people.

Chapter Three - Waiting Corinne

After returning from the island, beginning with the period of Gaspare High School. He is very happy with the news of the arrival in April, Corinne. However there is a problem: Stream does not have a computer and therefore can not communicate with the girl. With the help of Aunt Elsa everything is resolved. The house where the young lives is, in its opinion, unfit to host Corinne and therefore continually trying to improve it, buying plants or even trees to cover the heating tubes, which can not take off, and the coffee stain left on the kitchen wall after he accidentally spilled Aunt Elsa. He decides to buy a carpet to make the house look more beautiful. Meanwhile, start to socialize with the detached Furio, a boy at the high school during the interval is always close to the radiator, because, as Gaspar the first, has no friends. A school Torrente no longer takes all ten, but is limited to seven because it follows almost the explanations of teachers and is able to overcome the sufficiency through what he had learned earlier. In Latin, the votes of the classmates are the same as yours because, through e-mail, everyone can have a copy of the translation, without attracting the suspicions of prof. De Gente. Furio helps substantially and offers its support, the tinge of yellow hairs to deal with the lies written an e-mail to Corinne.

Chapter Four - The University has not changed anything

Corinne Gaspar party allowing extreme disappointment on his behalf. The girl, in fact, all the time that has been in Italy has not even considered, just staying in the house of Aunt Elsa. Torrente develops greatly his passion for plants and when it's time to choose the University at Berkeley while he goes Furio does the Latin, which is his passion, but inscribed in law. He graduated with Batticolla, a professor at the university, doing a thesis on Ruttilio Namaziano. Cultivate new friendships in the university by being aware that here too unfortunately shooting all over again, never going on. Of particular importance is the friendship Svitiglio, an alumni of Batticolla for which they work, allowing him to graduate but also to talk to Batticolla.

Chapter Five - Back to the Roots

Gaspar graduated and, unable to enter into a law firm to do its job, open a bar. Meanwhile, lost her mother, never knowing what he meant, she was always so reserved, the aunt, who died of bronchitis careless, the father, due to ischemia. And so Gaspar remains utterly alone, without friends, except that now Furio returns from Berkley. Become an architect and having opened a "peluccheria" Furio, moved by the situation and seeing a glimmer of Gaspare to help him, invites him to join its factory and put together his macerate and its creating a world forest trees. Gaspare refuses because he realizes that it does so only out of friendship. However, the stubborn detached designs a project and change the flat, and that Aunt Elsa a neighbor, after buying, in a radical way by allowing the plants to Gaspar to live more freely. The world's forest is a great success: business people will dwell difficult to escape everyday life, they stop to listen, to read the translations from Latin of Gaspare now no longer ashamed to show their interests. Torrente asks the adoptive sister of Furio to marry him and waiting for a reply back for a short time on the island. Do not sell the boat, keeping the only thing of father's remains and he realizes that, in a cruel society and no ears, he, without being able to become a lawyer, something he did: as the World Woods and has become fisherman like his father (according to the will of the latter).

In this post I found the summary unit and then the chapter by chapter of "Fahrenheit 451" (Oscar Mondadori; translation by George Monicelli) written by Ray Bradbury

Unit Summary: Fahrenheit 451

some time now, was forbidden to read and own books. Anyone who would try to disobey the orders of government would be severely punished. Guy Montag and his team of firefighters who were responsible for the destruction of books, was aware of this. Even in school was forbidden to make use of the books so much that only use the projections.

one evening, Guy met his neighbor: Clarisse McClellan, a seventeen year old girl who was part of a bizarre family too weird. Despite what Guy was surprised by the amount of things that she knew and that conveyed to him. Clarisse knew everything about Guy: he was either happy or in love with his wife Mildred, with whom he communicated very rarely and that was a disproportionate use of sleeping pills. But above all realized that Guy was different from other firefighters.
Montag met many other Clarisse McClellan times and knew, after the girl died in a car accident, that everything around them had only one life was organized and operated in all respects by the government. Over time
Guy became insecure and unable to understand why most people, their own will the will, had made the decision not to read more. So I think the answer is right in the books, of which he had collected about twenty a year from now. Mildred Montag was contrary to the fact that they read and what justifies its future reaction.
could not find an answer, Guy went to Faber, a former professor of literature, to understand where he slipped, but told him that he did not seek an answer in the books but what a time there was inside. Montag asked him to help because it was devoid of friends and Faber agreed.
Captain Beatty, who headed the team of arsonists, Guy knew he had picked up a book during a mission, that Montag's returned, but found the others and not even he was surprised when he got a call that criticizing the presence of books in Montag's house. It was Mildred, his wife to report it. Montag was surprised at what his eyes saw and his hands after they burned their own house of Guy: Beatty killed the captain and the Hound, a dog made of iron wires and built to find those who had committed various crimes.
Montag, chased by the police, fled the city where he took refuge with a group of former professors, book authors and supporters of his ideas. Many people like Guy, had memorized several books and then write them back when the war now under way to restore it would end the culture that the man himself had built.
bombers flew high over the city immense and dropped their bombs destroyed. Guy and then took each other to help those who remained alive.

summary chapter by chapter: Fahrenheit 451

1 The hearth and the salamander

In a society too large, where it was forbidden to own and read books, where people spent their days watching TV and the big walls did not talk hardly ever, Guy Montag, 30 years old, performed his work firefighter who was in the destruction of books through the flamethrower. For several days now, Montag felt a strange presence behind the corner that had to overcome in order to return home. But time was running every corner of the road there was none. One of these nights he seemed to hear a whisper from behind the corner. I'm not mistaken. He saw a beautiful young girl: Clarisse McClellan, his 17 year old neighbor. Clarisse was a weird girl with a family in turn strange: they were different from others. Clarisse loved to listen to people, knowing what they are interested in, observe nature and all it had to offer. Dwelt in analyzing the things he talked about the moon, the evolution of the world during all those years, the reasons why the government had banned the possession of the books, but above all he was not afraid of Guy, unlike other who feared the fire department. He realized that he was for many years now that no one cared so much about him and his life. In addition, he was surprised that girl who, after traveling together the way home, asked him if he was happy . He did not have time to answer, but to comfort the mentally said "It . But when Guy went into his bedroom, dark and cold, with his wife, with headphones in his ears, he had consumed an entire tube of sleeping pills, terrified, after calling the emergency room, he found not to be happy and that girl he knew everything about him, even when, the next day, said he was not in love. Montag began to meet more often in the strange girl he met that night in late summer now. She pointed out things that he never turned his attention. A Guy Clarisse seemed to know for many years (even if it was just a few days) and thought she had finally found a person who really listened and understood him, unlike his wife Mildred did not communicate with which almost never . An alarm sounded in the barracks of the fire, in which Montag was on duty. Together with his companions, Beatty, Stoneman and Black, Montag rushed to the place where the books were still present. After that mission, during which an old woman, who was in that house, lost his life, Montag began to doubt all of those securities from which it was surrounded. He, like Clarisse, he wondered why the government bans the reading books and the people themselves because they refused to read them. For a year now, during missions, Guy had raised about two dozen books, the knowledge of his companions. He could not explain why that its conduct was repeated, but when he showed his wife's books, she, unable to comprehend what Montag was trying, he was terrified and wanted to destroy all the evidence that would subsequently broke that cocoon of tranquility where she herself spent her life. The problem was that the same Montag did not understand what he felt: he was insecure, he doubted everything that went with him day after day, despite all the fun he was unhappy at his disposal and despite being always busy and do not have time to think, he realized, also, along with Mildred, can not remember the place where they met. All this was further compounded by the fact that Clarisse was killed in a car accident. Therefore, to understand why the government was so afraid of books and understand why they feel so insecure, Guy decided to read along with Milie, some of those books before handing over to a Captain Beatty, who had hinted at Montag to know who had stolen a book that night during the fire.

2 ° The sieve and the sand

An entire afternoon is not Guy was sufficient to find the answers to his questions. Now believed not to have more friends, people you can rely on, which they did, when suddenly remembered an old man named Faber who had known some years before. Went to him. The old man, initially hesitant, he was surprised, knowing that Guy's work place, when it gave him the bible that was holding in his hands. Montag explained that no one listened to him and none of those he knew, he was happy. Also said that the only good thing that the world was free, were the books. Faber told that for this reason that he wanted to teach him to understand what he read. Faber, now calm, replied that the books were not what it needed but what a time you could find in the books, the content of the substance. He decided to help him, but Montag, wanted more: he knew he was capable of producing multiple copies of the very few books left, so that everyone can enjoy the teachings of the latter. Faber hesitated. Eventually, however, agreed with Montag and promised his full support. He understood that Montag was really decided to challenge what they called government, that is the majority, when he read this poem to her friends of Mildred. His action was reported to firefighters, but Beatty did not consider. That same day, Guy went to the barracks of the fire. With trembling hands, which constantly sweating because of that guilt he felt, Montag Beatty handed one of the books that had "collected". Beatty seemed to forgive him and do not know of other books that Montag, before leaving home to go to work, had hidden in the bushes to prevent them from burning Mildred had already started to eliminate them one by one. The alarm bell rang about thirty times. In that call, which could not be ignored, said the entire team of fire, even though Montag, by now in the minority, would not have wanted to go now to destroy what little was left. At the head of the Salamander, their vehicle, there was, unusually, Beatty, who had just ripped up the piece of paper with printed the address of the place that would host yet another fire, without revealing it to anyone. With a resounding roar, the Salamander stopped abruptly. That night was different from others in which fires were taking place. It was different because the Salamander had stopped right in front of the house of Montag. -

3 ° The flame shining

When he saw outside his house dark and empty with the TV off wall, Montag was surprised, but his face expressionless. Beatty, however, knowing where the fire would have occurred that night, satisfied with what his eyes looked, Montag scolded and forced him to burn himself to the causes that lead to this. Guy, petrified, he saw his Milie, who was now getting on a taxi, which had betrayed him, for fear, or perhaps because of selfishness, and had given quell'allarme. Montag And now, having contested the flamethrower, began to burn his house and realized that everything that was inside was not his, he was alien to everything. Because of the yellow-red flame, caught fire walls along with the TV "family" fatuous now no longer spoke, was left in silence, trapped in those screens lifeless gray. Little by little everything that Guy and Mildred had built, since they were married, collapsed. A pile of ashes that was all that remained. Montag was doing the work that had almost nothing different from what he had done over the past ten years. While burning any proof of his being in that house, Beatty pointed to a focus on books. When everything was over, the captain, not satisfied with all the blame to Guy, he began to beat him until he fell victim's ear the little green cap that Faber had given him. At that moment, Montag felt that, by now, the chances were two to react against the master or watch the death of his old friend, because the captain had understood everything. Guy stood up, took back the flamethrower and directed him towards Beatty. A fire captain wrapped the lifeless, that he wanted to die . Montag still could not believe that his hands had made that gesture, when suddenly with a violent blow froze the other two of his companions. The Hound was nearby and gradually approached the killer attacking and injuring him in the leg, but Guy grabbed the flamethrower again and this time the victim was the dog and iron wire, alive and dead at the same time. Incredulous, terrified, grieving. This was Montag. He picked up the remaining books and fled, while police helicopters, scattered throughout the city, they began their hunt to catch Guy Montag, who is guilty and victim simultaneously. That same night the war was declared, but no one was disappointed. They were all committed to the pursuit of the man who had committed a crime against the government and now wandered alone through the streets of the big city toward the house of Faber. Yes Instinctively he headed home the elderly former teacher, even though he knew he could not stay long. They were both happy at seeing each other in life. Montag told everything that had happened to Faber. On TV announced that another hound was put on the trail of Montag, who was now out of the house of Faber, with a suitcase and a bottle of whiskey in hand, to go along the banks of the river and arrive finally at the track railroad, now abandoned, to try to escape Police and take refuge with some of the former professors who, according to Faber, were there. Montag and Faber left out of the house. She could not know that he would never seen the city as it was now. He ran along the shore as quickly as possible, moving from one TV to another wall, and the Hound was behind him. He missed his tracks by changing clothes and liquor, poured pure. He left, then drag the river at one point led him on a shore. Guy was no longer in danger. He saw a group of people, according to the assumptions of former professors ... Faber, who gave the welcome and showed him what was going on a manhunt was back in town, and to any person who was walking, he caught, unwittingly, the role of Montag. That victim, in a few moments, he found himself with the Dogs in front ready to attack. On TV announced that the chase was over and that the fugitive Guy Montag was no longer a danger to the government, they died. All those people who had met Guy, like him, although he did not feel important. Each of them was a book. That is, each of them knew by heart a book, Montag is why they were important. Their purpose in life was to wait until the war ended to rebuild everything from scratch and re-introduce that culture as had been lost. They rewrote the books, although most of the details would be lost, but a sufficient portion would remain. And if people did not yet understand the importance of books and the content of those people, including Guy, would have passed on their knowledge to their children that would have made the same gesture with their children, and so on ... generation to generation, until everything was not rebuilt. Shooting all six turned. The bombers had begun the work of destruction: one two three bombs. Montag shouted Clarisse, Faber, and Mildred to leave the city. He noticed, however, that Clare was dead. Faber probably would not have had time to leave the city because it was on the bus directly to St. Louis, recently left. And Mildred, poor Milie sitting between the walls of living together with the "family" hotel, not knowing what was going on because the TV did not say anything about the war and the bombs were falling in those moments and immense tireless city. Guy saw his wife, unaware of what was happening, stay calm and relaxed as one of the bombs fell rapidly about hotel: a meter, a centimeter, a millimeter. The bomb touched the building began to fragment. In this way, iron, wood, concrete and all those who were in that building were mixed, producing a huge cloud of dust. At that moment, Guy recalled. He remembered the place where he had met for the first time Mildred: he was in Chicago. The city was probably largely destroyed. Then the men started walking towards the city, because many people there, they would need their help.

Fahrenheit 451 Summary: The Chimera

In this post I find the summary of "La Chimera" (Einaudi), written by Sebastiano Vassalli

Summary: The Chimera

In a Winter's Night of 1590, on the back of the House of Charity San Michele, in Novara, was abandoned a child, with eyes, skin and dark hair, a monster, at the time. She was named Antonia Renata Judith Spagnolini. The girl grew up very quickly, became very beautiful and precisely because of this feature had placed their hopes of leaving the orphanage fact, the ladies retain only those who had exhibited some physical defect, to prevent the men of the house falls in love . In addition, the arrival of the new bishop Baschurch, wise and learned man, who had put an end to the fun and freedom of priests and nuns, the girls could not be given in evidence in any future husband, who would have abandoned after had told them the they are pregnant. So the only possible destiny of the exposed was to grow old in the convent of the Sisters. But Antonia was not so. She attained the age of ten years, was adopted by Bartolo Nidasio and Francesca, two farmers and residents of low Zardino, a small village. Here, the women criticized the gesture of taking Nidasio un'esposta, now that would have been in contact with their children and who knows what would have caused trouble. As the months passed, the newcomer began to know different people: Don Michael, quistone, replaced then by a real priest, who was flying, Don Teresa Maffiolo Pietro, a former soldier and adoptive grandfather Antonia Biagio monkey ( as he was named in the acts of the process ...) suffering from a mental illness, the gossips, gossiping and summer, and during the winter in the stables, with regard to companies Caccetta, and a large landowner Novarese thief and murderer, beheaded in Milan the year before the death of Antonia i risaroli, exhausted from work inhuman; of Oltrepò Bertolino, who painted the Madonna of exactly the same to her, fifteen, thus unleashing the wrath and envy of the wives and sisters Borghesini, neighbors and enemies of Nidasio, owner of Biagio ; Bishop Baschurch, that the body alive, as he called himself, sent by the Pope against his will in Novara, the lancers, the German soldiers, who terrorized Don Teresa ... But above all he met Gasparo, said Tosetto a walker which she fell in love madly, as he told the sea of \u200b\u200bGenoa, was the great promise, telling her he would marry her, but then he did not. The two met secretly on the Tree Knoll, a hill where there was a large chestnut tree, famous for the alleged Sabbath (meeting of witches). Antonia did not say anything about his parents and Gasparo, sometimes, had been met by the Christian Brothers, who sought the risaroli escaped.

When Antonia is twenty years old, in the stables of Zardino winter, they told strange events that occurred in her presence, people who lose their voice, animal that sick cows that were not more milk, children who had fever ... all events that would have occurred even if she had not been there, but in that village entries Novarese mattered much, and no one bothered to find out if those rumors were true, but jumping to hasty conclusions, which were crucial in the life of the girl. Some "experts" said that Antonia was a witch and Don informed Teresa that, after having excommunicated from the church for having danced (without realizing it) with the Antichrist, that is, with the lancers, the complaint before the inquisitor Manini at the Sant ' Office of Novara as heretical and industry (witch). He proceeded immediately with the questioning of witnesses that the girl they deemed a witch: they were people with whom he had perhaps never spoken Antonia (excluding Borghesini that the accused had made Biagio fall in love with its beauty devil, and Teresa friends, who told the truth about the Tosetto), but were aware of all the events of his life, and knew them better than she herself! Manini wanted to conclude this process quickly to speak again in the state of the Ecclesiastical Court of Milan, Novara, in Baschurch took control after the death of Buell, the predecessor of the inquisitor of Antonia. Therefore, without the knowledge of the bishop, and while this was in Rome, did everything he had for his career, quite significantly after the story of the girl called, therefore, the defendant and questioned her, it was, despite the concerns of Francesca, a conversation rather "quiet" in which his daughter had managed to silence what he thought of the priests as Don Teresio, interested only in money. But then, worried about the return of Baschurch from Rome, officials of the Inquisition speed operations: Antonia arrested, interrogated a number of other times when he wanted to confess preposterous crimes they confer, torture and making her scream in pain insult his captors, Taddeo and Bernardo, obtaining what they wanted, and when, in spite of the tortures, he did not confess, they said that its strength was due to absence of this devil in her, and many other trifles of this kind, which were intended solely to blame. They were also questioned Nidasio, who had to bear, then all the costs of the process, falling apart, but this interrogation, such as Teresina and Maffioli, were useless for Manini, I hardly listened to them, because it hampered his plans , then realized: that is, those to burn Antonia. During the talks between the interrogator and the witnesses, the witch was imprisoned in the prison of the Inquisition, where to the torments suffered, were added including those caused by aides Manini, Taddeo and Bernard, who raped her. The sentence was handed down in August, in the presence of all those "accounts" Novara said (and it is likely that the accusation was the same in other cases of witchcraft) that Antonia was a witch and heretic, and that during the interrogation, did not reveal any signs of repentance: it is logical that she could not repent, considering the pressing questions and torture. It was delivered to the secular arm, because the church did not judge or punish! Later, unaware of the sentence, was transferred to another prison (civil) where reunited with Rosalina, un'esposta known to Casa Pia. The witch spent the last days there, suffering from the heat and insect bites. Then came that September 1610. She was taken to Zardino: on the street, and even there on the hill where the tree was cut to create the fire, there were thousands of people who applauded the Executioner, and she rejoiced ..., the industry, not heard or seen nothing. And then it was no longer Antonia. Capacity at the stake, he died as the sun was setting, as the flames flared up around her. Everyone was happy, the fireworks exploded. Life in Novara and around he went on, forgetting the history of witch Zardino, lost in the noise and indifference.
