Peโ€ฆ" Presentazione del libro โ€œQuando la notte apre gli occhiโ€ di Immanuel Mifsud๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Sabato 18 ottobre 2025, ore 16:00 (Sala 2)ยซรˆ ora. Per te รจ ora di andare a dormire, di lasciarti penetrare dalla notte, stordire, vincere. Morfeo ti porge il papavero. Un mazzo di papaveri. Non ti sei ancora addormentato?ยปรˆ questo lโ€™invito rivolto al lettore: abbandonarsi al sonno e alla narrazione come in un rito intimo e condiviso, nel quale ogni storia รจ un frammento di esistenza che affiora dal buio.Storie di passioni clandestine, attese interminabili, solitudini domestiche, di corpi desideranti e vulnerabili, di paesi immaginari e cittร  reali, di camere dโ€™albergo e cucine di provincia.Quando la notte apre gli occhi (emuse, 2025 trad. di Virginia Monteforte) รจ un romanzo corale, onirico e poetico, che esplora il sonno e la notte come spazi liminali in cui emergono sogni, memorie, desideri, solitudini e ossessioni, e il confine tra realtร  e immaginazione si dissolve. Un mosaico narrativo nel quale la scrittura rivendica il potere di custodire la memoria, tanto personale quanto collettiva.Questo incontro rappresenta unโ€™occasione per dialogare con una delle voci letterarie piรน significative di Malta oggi, e con una presenza di rilievo nello scenario mediterraneo.Lโ€™autore dialoga con la traduttrice Serena Marinelli.๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Ingresso gratuito#mutafest #Almutawassit_Books #muta. #emuse #mediterraneo #milano

We appeal to our government and other EU leaders to stop their bigotry and duplicity and hold Israel to account for the gravest crimes against humanity.

In the last 22 months and before, Israel has behaved like a rogue state with total impunity, wiping out all of Gaza's universities, killing over 230 journalists, destroying hospitals and targeting civilians on a daily basis.

Anas al-Sharif among five Al Jazeera staff killed by Israel in Gaza Al Jazeera staff killed in targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists near al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza City.

The latest targeted assassination of Palestinian journalists by Israel in Gaza is horrifying confirmation of a long-standing, genocidal policy aimed at wiping out Palestinian life and culture.

A poem I wrote to express my utter dismay at the genocide being perpetrated under Israeli rule in Gaza, which has now escalated to the deliberate starvation of its people.
