Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

  • An 81-year-old shepherd has forced some of the biggest names in Italian business to change a controversial tourist development on one of the last untouched stretches of the country's coastline as it crossed a path he uses to herd his flock of six sheep.
    A court in Cagliari, Sardinia, has upheld a ruling by a judge in May that Ovidio Marras, who lives by himself with his sheep and speaks only local dialect, is entitled to continue driving his flock across a track on which developers have already begun construction.
    The €150m Capo Malfatano resort, due for completion in 2014, will have two luxury hotels and more than 30 villas. Among the investors in the scheme is the Benetton fashion group, through a subsidiary that holds a 24% stake. A source close to the developers said 20 of the 140 beds in the hotel would have to be scrapped.
