Qual è la «libertà» che Dante «va cercando» quando s’incammina nel suo viaggio ultraterreno, con la sapiente guida del «duca» Virgilio? E a quale libertà lo conduce Beatrice, al termine dell’avventuroso attraversamento dei tre regni? Da questa domanda si sviluppa la riflessione di Luciano Canfora intorno a questa «parola colossale»: le figure di Cesare, Catone e Ulisse articolano il suo ragionamento sulla libertà, il «problema dei problemi», per Dante e per noi, perché come nessun altro investe la natura dell’individuo e costruisce le ragioni e i valori del vivere sociale.

Siamo negli anni Trenta del Duemila e un regime paramilitare ha preso il controllo dell'Italia. I dissidenti, in clandestinità, si fanno chiamare "Dinosauri" perché rinunciano innanzitutto a qualsiasi comunicazione digitale: il consenso e la repressione passano infatti attraverso gli smartphone, i computer, il potentissimo Social Unico. La Resistenza combatte alla vecchia maniera: messaggi, staffette, imboscate e tradimenti.

Peter F. Hamilton : un créateur d'univers dans la lignée des plus grands, Isaac Asimov, Dan Simmons, Frank Herbert... Le Dieu nu est le troisième et dernier volet de la trilogie L'Aube de la nuit. L'ensemble constitue un unique roman foisonnant, une fresque exubérante et impétueuse, admirablement construite, dont l'écriture a pris plus de six années à l'auteur. Entre La Guerre des étoiles et Dune, une gigantesque épopée interstellaire, sans doute la plus ambitieuse jamais publiée. Une rupture dans le réel a permis aux morts de revenir à la vie en s'emparant du corps des vivants.
