Letta, charged with collecting and saving words, uncovers a sinister plan to suppress language, robbing the people of Ark of the power of speech, and realizes she must also save the culture, itself
Questa serie approfondisce una società in cui la libera espressione è soppressa e la letteratura affronta una rigida censura. Le narrazioni esplorano le profonde conseguenze del silenziare le voci e il potere intrinseco del linguaggio di plasmare la realtà. Attraverso personaggi avvincenti e trame che fanno riflettere, i lettori sono invitati a meditare sull'importanza vitale della libertà di parola e sul valore duraturo della parola scritta.


Letta, charged with collecting and saving words, uncovers a sinister plan to suppress language, robbing the people of Ark of the power of speech, and realizes she must also save the culture, itself
A world devastated by climate change. A society ruled by fear. And a girl brave enough to take a stand. Now an outlaw, Letta's world is more dangerous than ever. The new ruler of Ark has limited language to under five hundred words and there are terrible whispers of babies disappearing in the night. Letta devotes herself to keeping language alive, teaching in secret illegal schools, but at great risk. And when disaster strikes, she takes the blame. Haunted by grief and hunted by gavvers, she and Marlo are forced to flee, in the process discovering the terrible plan to wipe out language for good.
