The Silent Patient
Alex Michaelides · 2021
<p><b>**THE INSTANT #1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES </i>BESTSELLER**</b><br><br>"An unforgettable—and Hollywood-bound—new thriller... A mix of Hitchcockian suspense, Agatha Christie plotting, and Greek tragedy."<br><b>—<i>Entertainment Weekly</i></b><br><br><b><i>The Silent Patient</i> is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive.</b><br><br>Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.<br><br>Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London.<br><br>Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him....</p>

The Missing Piece
Shel Silverstein · 1976
It was missing a piece. And it was not happy. So it set off in search of its missing piece. And as it rolled it sang this song -Oh I'm lookin' for my missin' piece I'm lookin' for my missin' piece Hi-dee-ho, here I go, Lookin' for my missin' piece. What it finds on its search for the missing piece is simply and touchingly told in this fable that gently probes the nature of quest and fulfillment.

Cecità
José Saramago · 2010
In Un Tempo E Un Luogo Non Precisati, All’improvviso L’intera Popolazione Perde La Vista Per Un’inspiegabile Epidemia. Chi Viene Colpito Dal Male è Come Avvolto In Una Nube Lattiginosa. Le Reazioni Psicologiche Sono Devastanti, L’esplosione Di Terrore E Di Gratuita Violenza Inarrestabile, Gli Effetti Della Patologia Sulla Convivenza Sociale Drammatici. La Cecità Cancella Ogni Pietà E Fa Precipitare Nella Barbarie, Scatenando Un Brutale Istinto Di Sopravvivenza. Nella Forma Di Un Racconto Fantastico, Saramago Disegna Con Maestria, Essenzialità E Nettezza La Grande Metafora Di Un’umanità Bestiale E Feroce, Incapace Di Vedere E Distinguere Le Cose Razionalmente, Artefice Di Abbrutimento, Crudeltà, Degradazione. Ne Risulta Un Avvincente Romanzo Di Valenza Universale Sull’indifferenza E L’egoismo, Il Potere E La Sopraffazione, La Guerra Di Tutti Contro Tutti, Una Dura Denuncia Del Buio Della Ragione, Con Uno Spiraglio Di Luce E Salvezza Che Non Ne Annulla Il Pessimismo Di Fondo.
