Lesléa Newman

    1. leden 1955

    Lesléa Newmanová je oceňovaná autorka, která se ve své rozsáhlé tvorbě věnuje průzkumu lesbické a židovské identity a složitým vztahům mezi nimi. Její práce, často s tématy AIDS, poruch příjmu potravy a vztahů, se vyznačují hlubokým pochopením lidské zkušenosti. Newmanová je průkopnicí v oblasti dětské literatury, která pozitivně zobrazuje rodiny stejnopohlavních párů, čímž prolomila bariéry v zobrazování rozmanitosti. Její literární hlas je uznáván pro jeho upřímnost, empatii a schopnost proniknout k jádru složitých témat. Její psaní je pozvánkou k zamyšlení a spojení s hlubokými pravdami o lásce, rodině a identitě.

      Chiunque abbia amato un cane sa di cosa parla questo libro. È una storia vera e racconta di una grande amicizia, di tenerezza e dolore, di lealtà e tenacia. E, più di tutto, racconta di una speranza incrollabile. È la storia di un cane straordinario, Hachiko, del suo padrone, il professor Ueno, e di un appuntamento mancato in una stazione di Tokyo. Di un'attesa paziente durata dieci anni e di una fedeltà senza eguali, che ha commosso il Giappone e il mondo intero. Ancora oggi la statua di Hachiko, nella piccola stazione pendolare del quartiere di Shibuya, è uno dei monumenti più visitati di Tokyo. Perché nessuno è immune al fascino di questa storia, e chi vi si imbatte impara almeno una cosa: quando un cane ama il suo padrone, non c'è niente che non farebbe per lui.
