Lingua:Libri ItalianiThis Printz Honor Book is a “tender, honest exploration of identity” (Publishers Weekly) that distills lyrical truths about family and friendship.
Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. When the two meet at the swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common. But as the loners start spending time together, they discover that they share a special friendship—the kind that changes lives and lasts a lifetime. And it is through this friendship that Ari and Dante will learn the most important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be.
DANTE SA NUOTARE. ARI NO. Dante è colto e sicuro di sé. Ari non conosce abbastanza parole. Dante si perde pensando all'arte e alla poesia. Ari si perde pensando al fratello maggiore in carcere. Tutto farebbe pensare che un ragazzo come Dante, che ha davanti a sé la prospettiva di una vita eccezionale, sia l'ultima persona in grado di rompere il muro che Ari si è costruito attorno.
Ma quando si incontrano, Dante e Ari legano subito. Condividono libri, pensieri, sogni, risate. Imparano l'uno dall'altro nuove parole e iniziano a ridisegnare i confini dei loro mondi. Soprattutto, scoprono che l'universo è un posto enorme e difficile.
La storia di due ragazzi, Ari e Dante, che devono imparare a credere l'uno nell'altro e nel loro legame, se vogliono diventare adulti. In una narrazione che arriva dritto al cuore, Benjamin Alire Sáenz cattura quei momenti che fanno di un ragazzo un uomo, mentre esplora temi come la lealtà e la fiducia, l'amicizia e l'amore.
ARISTOTLE MENDOZA HA PASSATO gli anni del liceo a nascondersi, a restare sempre in silenzio, a rendersi invisibile. E si aspettava che anche l'ultimo anno sarebbe stato come gli altri. Da quando si è innamorato di Dante Quintana, però, dentro di lui qualcosa si è spalancato. All'improvviso, Ari stringe nuove amicizie, si ribella ai bulli, fa sentire la sua voce. Sempre, accanto a lui, c'è Dante - il sognatore, lo spiritoso Dante - che riesce nello stesso tempo a dargli sui nervi e ad accenderlo di desiderio.
I due ragazzi sono ben determinati a trovare la loro strada in un mondo che non li comprende. Fino a quando Ari non si troverà ad affrontare una perdita sconvolgente. E dovrà lottare con tutte le sue forze per creare una vita che sia profondamente, gioiosamente sua.

Ari has spent all of high school burying who he really is, staying silent and invisible. He expected his senior year to be the same. But something in him cracked open when he fell in love with Dante, and he can’t go back. Suddenly he finds himself reaching out to new friends, standing up to bullies of all kinds, and making his voice heard. And, always, there is Dante, dreamy, witty Dante, who can get on Ari’s nerves and fill him with desire all at once.
The boys are determined to forge a path for themselves in a world that doesn’t understand them. But when Ari is faced with a shocking loss, he’ll have to fight like never before to create a life that is truthfully, joyfully his own.
Sal used to know his place with his adoptive gay father, their loving Mexican American family, and his best friend, Samantha. But it’s senior year, and suddenly Sal is throwing punches, questioning everything, and realizing he no longer knows himself. If Sal’s not who he thought he was, who is he?
This humor-infused, warmly humane look at universal questions of belonging is a triumph.
Ahora, deben descubrir cómo cuidarlo y construir una relación en un mundo que parece desafiar su existencia. Ari ha pasado toda la preparatoria escondiendo su verdadero yo, manteniéndose callado e invisible. Pensaba que su último año sería igual, pero algo en él cambió cuando se enamoró de Dante. Ahora hace cosas que jamás pensó: tiene nuevos amigos, confronta a cualquier tipo de bully y no se queda callado ante nada. Y siempre a su lado está el soñador y perspicaz Dante, quien lo mismo consigue sacarlo de quicio que hacerlo suspirar.
Los chicos están decididos a abrirse camino en un mundo que no los entiende, pero cuando Ari sufre una repentina y devastadora pérdida, sabe que deberá luchar como nunca para lograr la vida plena y feliz que siempre soñó.
LA ESPERADA SECUELA DEL FENÓMENO LITERARIO QUE CAPTURÓ EL CORAZÓN DE MILES DE LECTORES
Une histoire d'amour, d'une profondeur et d'une justesse bouleversantes !
Depuis qu'Ari a rencontré Dante, sa vie a basculé. Il ne cherche plus à se rendre invisible. Il ne fuit plus la compagnie des autres. Mais le souvenir de son frère emprisonné hante toujours ses nuits, son père est plus secret que jamais, et l'avenir est une terrifiante page blanche. Surtout, il ne sait que faire de ce désir envahissant qui ne lui laisse aucun répit...
Main dans la main, Aristote et Dante se tiennent prêts à affronter la violence d'un univers qui hait la différence.
Zach is eighteen. He is bright and articulate. He's also an alcoholic and in rehab instead of high school, but he doesn't remember how he got there. He's not sure he wants to remember. Something bad must have happened. Something really, really bad. Remembering sucks and being alive--well, what's up with that?
I have it in my head that when we're born, God writes things down on our hearts. See, on some people's hearts he writes Happy and on some people's hearts he writes Sad and on some people's hearts he writes Crazy on some people's hearts he writes Genius and on some people's hearts he writes Angry and on some people's hearts he writes Winner and on some people's hearts he writes Loser. It's all like a game to him. Him. God. And it's all pretty much random. He takes out his pen and starts writing on our blank hearts. When it came to my turn, he wrote Sad. I don't like God very much. Apparently he doesn't like me very much either.
The "Hollywood" where Sammy Santos and Juliana Ríos live is not the West Coast one, the one with all the glitz and glitter. This Hollywood is a tough barrio at the edge of a small town in southern New Mexico. Sammy and this friends--members of the 1969 high school graduating class--face a world of racism, dress codes, war in Vietnam and barrio violence. In the summer before his senior year begins, Sammy falls in love with Juliana, a girl whose tough veneer disguises a world of hurt. By summer's end, Juliana is dead. Sammy grieves, and in his grief, the memory of Juliana becomes his guide through this difficult year. Sammy is a smart kid, but he's angry. He's angry about Juliana's death, he's angry about the poverty his father and his sister must endure, he's angry at his high school and its thinly disguised gringo racism, and he's angry he might not be able to go to college. Benjamin Alire Sáenz, evoking the bittersweet ambience found in such novels as McMurtry's The Last Picture Show, captures the essence of what it meant to grow up Chicano in small-town America in the late 1960s.
