Title: Farewell, Aleppo

Publisher's Summary:
The Jews of Aleppo, Syria, had been part of the city's fabric for more than two thousand years, in good times and bad, through conquerors and kings. But in the middle years of the twentieth century, all that changed. To Selim Sutton, a merchant with centuries of roots in the Syrian soil, the dangers of rising anti-Semitism made clear that his family must find a new home. With several young children and no prospect of securing visas to the United States, he devised a savvy plan for getting his family out: "exporting" his sons. In January, he sent two oldest, Meir and Saleh, just 19 and 17 years old, to Shanghai to work in an uncle's export business, with hopes that China would provide a steppingstone to America. All this changed in December 1941 when Japanese forces bombed Pearl Harbor and seized Shanghai the next day. From then until the end of the war, Mike endured Japanese occupation in Shanghai alone, across the world from his family, with only his mettle to rely on as he strived to survive personally and economically in the face of increasing deprivation. Told with a journalist's eye and a daughter's love, Farewell, Aleppo is the poignant story, written and narrated by Mike's daughter, of the journey that would ultimately take him from the insular Jewish community of Aleppo to the solitary task of building a new life in America.

Title: How to Be a Beta Male
Author: Robert Crampton
Narrator: Michael Fenton Stevens
Format: Unabridged
Length: 11 hrs and 39 mins
Language: English
Release date: 11-07-17
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:
From rom coms to wrestling and fatherhood to fist fights, Robert Crampton's How to Be a Beta Male is a brilliantly funny and sometimes moving insight into being a modern-day bloke.
Robert Crampton has been writing his Beta Male column for The Times since 2001. A much-loved weekly insight into modern masculinity - whatever that might mean - Beta Male strives to unlock the secrets of contemporary relationships in all their frequent glory, occasional frustration and ongoing complexity. While by his own admission totally failing in this task, Crampton is at any rate amusing as he goes about his business, as his legions of loyal fans would attest.
How to Be a Beta Male is a carefully curated selection, bursting with observational nuggets on the minutiae of daily domestics and disasters in the Crampton household and offering the very best of a 16-year-long account of what it is to be a beta male married to an alpha female.
From his attempts at DIY to disciplining their children to trying once in a while to put his foot down to getting involved in a punch-up in the street in her defence, Robert continues to fail to impress his wife but always delights his fans.
It's a very smart, extremely funny and yet surprisingly sensitive exploration of the trials, tribulations - and, ultimately, triumphs - of not being young, free and single.

Title: Faith in Action: A Short Biography

Release date: 10-26-17

Publisher's Summary:
Oh no, not another Christian book! Well, yes! I always used to say to my wife, "If I ever think of writing a book, tell me not to!" She did - but I have written it anyway! Why? About a year ago I received a request from India to write a gospel tract. I did so. The pastor concerned then asked me to write a short biography as a testimony book. To be honest, I could not think of a good reason why I should not spend a little time to testify to the faithfulness of God throughout my life. Why not? I thought. You never know, it might encourage someone somewhere. So here it is. I have kept it brief on purpose so that you, the listener, can hopefully by the grace of God get the points I am endeavoring to make. I trust you will enjoy this short biography. Thank you and God bless you, wherever you are.

Riepilogo Editore:
"Aloha! Sono Antonello Dose, quello del 'Ruggito del Coniglio'. Da molti anni pratico il buddismo di Nichiren Daishonin. Ho iniziato per curiosità, per fiducia verso chi me ne aveva parlato e aveva insistito tanto affinché partecipassi a una riunione in una casa privata. 'Metti dei calzini puliti' mi disse Betta, 'ti chiederanno di togliere le scarpe.' 

Il mio è il racconto di venticinque anni di esperienze di fede e di vita quotidiana che mi hanno permesso di approfondire la conoscenza di me stesso e di quello straordinario, profondissimo, misterioso, gioioso fenomeno che si chiama 'vita' e che ci vede, consapevoli o meno, tutti coinvolti. 

Provengo da una famiglia cattolica ed è stato inevitabile, in questi anni, avere dubbi di ogni genere e confrontare i risultati che ho ottenuto seguendo prima una religione e poi l'altra. Ho sperimentato cosa significa abbracciare il Sutra del Loto e recitare con costanza Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo, la Legge dell'Universo. Ho provato gli effetti del Daimoku sullo stato vitale, nella percezione di me e degli altri, nella salute, nella protezione dagli incidenti e nell'attirare la buona fortuna. 

Sono tanti i motivi di gioia e di gratitudine che mi spingono a questo racconto, finora vissuto gelosamente in privato, ma la gioia più grande, da un po' di tempo a questa parte, è notare che il fenomeno 'vita' funziona esattamente come intuito e descritto dal primo Budda storico Shakyamuni, come spiegato da Nichiren Daishonin nel XIII secolo e attualizzato da quello che considero il mio maestro, Daisaku Ikeda. 

Ci sono stati anche dolori, malattie, lutti. E l'energia vitale per affrontarli. Ma ciò che conta è che direzione diamo all'esistenza, alla nostra mente e al nostro cuore insieme, 'kokoro' in giapponese. Il buddismo mi ha cambiato la vita, e ve lo racconto senza pudori." 

Questa è la storia di Antonello Dose. Una storia intensa, empatica, dolorosa. Svelata anche negli aspetti più duri, con una scrittura lieve e luminosa che ci sorprende. Prima di incontrare Ikeda, Dose ha avuto due maestri: Eugenio Barba, il grande guru del teatro di ricerca, e Enrico Vaime, il gran maestro del varietà radiofonico e televisivo. 

La sintesi inaspettata che ne deriva, di leggerezza e di radicalità antropologica e mistica, fa di questo libro di iniziazione al buddismo una lettura difficile da dimenticare.
