[Italian] - Il vento nei salici
"«Il vento nei salici parla del desiderio che ciascuno di noi ha di sentirsi al sicuro dentro la propria casa, e di come ciò confligga con il nostro bisogno di avventura. Narra della bellezza e dell'asperità della natura. Di quanto sia piacevole essere bambino e dei pericoli in cui possiamo incorrere senza la guida di un adulto. Parla di amicizia e di lealtà e delle manchevolezze di quegli amici a cui siamo cosí fedeli».

"The village is screaming for a slaughter, but the dragon is busy searching for a rhyme. High on the silent, snowy Downs, a young boy discovers a secret that defies every legend: a massive, turquoise-scaled dragon who has more in common with a library than a battlefield. This isn't a 'bloodthirsty beast,' but a peace-loving bohemian who purrs like a giant cat and prefers tea and sonnets to terrorizing the countryside. He doesn't want to rampage; he just wants an audience for his poetry. But the world demands a monster. The peace is shattered when the village calls in St. George, the legendary dragon-slayer, to rid them of their 'deadly foe.' The townspeople are thirsty for a bloodbath, and the Saint has a reputation to uphold. To save his friend’s head, the Boy must choreograph a daring, high-stakes deception that satisfies the mob without shedding a single drop of blue blood. Can a boy outsmart a legend to save a monster who never was one? Press play now and experience the wit and wonder of this timeless classic!"

"The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame is a timeless tale of friendship, adventure, and the charm of the English countryside. When the mild-mannered Mole abandons his spring cleaning, he embarks on a journey that leads him to the riverbank and the warm companionship of Rat, a lover of boats and poetry. Together, they meet the eccentric, thrill-seeking Toad, whose obsession with motorcars lands him in prison, and the wise, reclusive Badger of the Wild Wood. As seasons change, so do their adventures—from Mole’s snowy trek to Badger’s cozy underground home, to Toad’s daring escape and the brave reclaiming of Toad Hall from invading weasels and stoats.

With its rich prose, endearing characters, and celebration of nature and home, The Wind in the Willows remains a cherished classic for readers of all ages."

Audiobook
"The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home. First with brooms, then with dusters; then on ladders and steps and chairs, with a brush and a pail of whitewash; till he had dust in his throat and eyes, and splashes of whitewash all over his black fur, and an aching back and weary arms. Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing. It was small wonder, then, that he suddenly flung down his brush on the floor, said 'Bother!' and 'O blow!' and also 'Hang spring-cleaning!' and bolted out of the house without even waiting to put on his coat. Something up above was calling him imperiously, and he made for the steep little tunnel which answered in his case to the gavelled carriage-drive owned by animals whose residences are nearer to the sun and air. So he scraped and scratched and scrabbled and scrooged and then he scrooged again and scrabbled and scratched and scraped, working busily with his little paws and muttering to himself, 'Up we go! Up we go!' till at last, pop! his snout came out into the sunlight, and he found himself rolling in the warm grass of a great meadow. 'This is fine!' he said to himself. 'This is better than whitewashing!' The sunshine struck hot on his fur, soft breezes caressed his heated brow, and after the seclusion of the cellarage he had lived in so long the carol of happy birds fell on his dulled hearing almost like a shout. Jumping off all his four legs at once, in the joy of living and the delight of spring without its cleaning, he pursued his way across the meadow till he reached the hedge on the further side. 'Hold up!' said an elderly rabbit at the gap. 'Sixpence for the privilege of passing by the private road!' He was bowled over in an instant by the impatient and contemptuous Mole, who trotted along the side of the hedge chaffing the other rabbits as they peeped hurriedly from their holes to see what the row was about. 'Onion-sauce! Onion-sauce!' he remarked jeeringly, and was gone before they could think of a thoroughly satisfactory reply. Then they all started grumbling at each other. 'How STUPID you are! Why didn't you tell him——' 'Well, why didn't YOU say——' 'You might have reminded him——' and so on, in the usual way; but, of course, it was then much too late, as is always the case. It all seemed too good to be true. Hither and thither through the meadows he rambled busily, along the hedgerows, across the copses, finding everywhere birds building, flowers budding, leaves thrusting—everything happy, and progressive, and occupied. And instead of having an uneasy conscience pricking him and whispering 'whitewash!' he somehow could only feel how jolly it was to be the only idle dog among all these busy citizens. After all, the best part of a holiday is perhaps not so much to be resting yourself, as to see all the other fellows busy working."
