Geraldine McCaughrean Libri

Fidanzati, amici, sposi, dalla Grecia antica all'India misteriosa, dalla Bibbia al medioevo. Sono i protagonisti di queste storie, lontani nello spazio e nel tempo, ma uniti da un destino comune: quello di amare ed essere amati. Dopo l'esperienza dell'amore, tutto diventa possibile: lieto fine o tragedia, felicità pura o immenso dolore. E tutti sono pronti ad accogliere il proprio destino - anche quando è crudele come quello di Romeo e Giulietta, o di Tristano e Isotta - pur di non rinunciare all'amore.
