Dal secondo pamphlet sulla letteratura di cui Cristina Volpi sta curando l’edizione, ci suggerisce:
Il Piccolo Principe di Antoine de Saint’Exupéry: il brano del dialogo con la volpe, con i suoi riferimenti a galline e cacciatori e rose, ci offre il basic della distanza nei punti di vista, in ciò che si considera essenziale in una cultura, e superfluo in un’altra.
Mastro don Gesualdo di Giovanni Verga: sono ancora attuali il racconto della distanza sociale e culturale fra i protagonisti, la difficoltà di integrarsi, l’ostilità che deriva dall’incomprensione e dal ribaltamento dei rapporti di potere.

Identity and Violence: The Illusion of Destiny by Amartya Sen. The Nobel Laureate examines some of the most explosive problems of our time and shows how we can move towards peace: “We are becoming increasingly divided along lines of religion and culture, ignoring the many other ways in which people see themselves, from class and profession to morals and politics. When we are put into narrow categories the importance of human life becomes lost”. Stimulating thoughts about multiculturalism and globalization. Recommended by Bettina Gehrke.
The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid. Brilliantly written novel – great suspense. Gives a powerful insight into the minds of the quasi-fundamentalist behaviour. Touches the culture-, religion-, or class-based clashes in today’s world. Recommended by Bettina Gehrke.
