The love of reading starts from childhood, when the first fiction novels are offered at school to read to approach a fantastic world. For some it is love at first sight destined to last forever; for others of a bitter pill to throw down in order to please teachers and parents.
In this second case it is easy that once grown up they abandon books and, consequently, are cut off from an infinite series of stories, from the possibility of traveling with the mind, of taking flight with the fantasy and to be drawn into thrilling adventures and thrilling stories.
Adolescence is the most delicate period, the one in which there is the greatest risk that young people will stop reading. And the reason is obvious: it is difficult – for them and for those who follow them – to choose and find something that excites them. In schools, teachers tend to propose the great classics, regardless of the children who are in front of them. Parents, on the other hand, stick to the texts they read when they were their children’s age. Result: reading is experienced as compulsion and not as a pleasure.
From this awareness is born Read to read, a book about books, which helps to unravel the ocean of infinite possibilities that world literature offers: 487 titles including novels, graphic novels and films, starting from 64 texts divided into thematic sections, to help discover reading as a passion, leisure and fun. Because, as the authors themselves maintain, a book discovered in adolescence is never forgotten. Because it is that age in which certain fictions are lived as if they were true, in which the involvement is greater and therefore if you feel transported page after page you will no longer be separated from those feelings.
In this volume Hamelin, which for over twenty years has been bringing novels and comics to girls and boys from all over Italy, and Rachele Bindi, a psychotherapist expert in book therapy, select and tell the best titles of fiction specifically aimed at the “young adults” range. Scrolling quickly through the index it is easy to see that none of the titles are among those usually proposed by teachers, no great classics, only recent texts or those that have stood out for their theme and the ability to involve that range of readers. To ensure that they too fall in love with reading and never leave it.
