Abstract: Perdonare sì, dimenticare mai. Ispirato da questa massima Franz Thaler, classe 1925, racconta gli anni più bui della sua vita. Nel 1939, durante le Opzioni in Alto Adige, il padre di Thaler decide di rimanere in Italia invece di emigrare nel Terzo Reich. Da un giorno all'altro il giovane Franz si trova in balia dei maltrattamenti dei nazisti altoatesini e dei loro simpatizzanti. Pur essendo un "Dableiber" - un restante - e quindi un cittadino italiano, nel 1944 gli viene recapitato l'ordine di arruolamento nell'esercito di Hitler, spingendolo a fuggire sulle montagne. Solo quando il pericolo di rappresaglie contro la sua famiglia si fa concreto Thaler si costituisce. È l'inizio di una travagliata odissea che lo porterà, passando per varie carceri, fino al campo di concentramento di Dachau e, temporaneamente, nel lager satellite di Hersbruck. Tornerà a casa nell'agosto del 1945; un ventenne dal fisico martoriato e dall'animo affranto. Franz Thaler racconta le sue memorie con un linguaggio austero e asciutto ma coinvolgente. Il suo libro, che ha visto varie riedizioni, è un classico della storiografia moderna altoatesina.Nato nel 1925 in Val Sarentino da una numerosa famiglia di piccoli agricoltori, Franz Thaler frequentò l'allora scuola italiana fascista. Nel 1939, l'anno delle Opzioni, suo padre scelse di rimanere in paese; Franz e i suoi sei fratelli minorenni divennero "Walsche" (dispregiativo per italiani), come si diceva allora. Durante il 1944 sarebbe dovuto partire per la guerra; decise però di non obbedire alla chiamata alle armi e fuggì. Dopo alcuni mesi fu costretto a consegnarsi ai nazisti per evitare ritorsioni nei confronti dei genitori. Da quel momento ebbe inizio la sua via crucis che attraverso prigioni lo condusse all'internamento nel campo di concentramento di Dachau. Tornò a casa nell'agosto 1945, ventenne, fisicamente e psichicamente distrutto. Da Edition Raetia: "Dimenticare mai. Opzioni, campo di concentramenti di Dachau, Prigioniero di guerra, ritorno a casa" (2004).Dt. Ausg. u.d.T.: Thaler, Franz: Unvergessen

Abstract: The narrator in Monica Cantieni's novel is a young girl, an immigrant to Switzerland whose adoption is still to be finalized. The girl is learning German - the language spoken in her new community - and collects words and phrases in matchboxes. Her narrative, infused with a child's uncannily perceptive idea of the world, moves between her days in the orphanage and her new life with her adoptive parents. Set in the time of the crucial 1970 Swiss referendum on immigration, we encounter a host of colourful characters who struggle to make Switzerland their home: Eli, the Spanish bricklayer; Toni, the Italian factory worker with film-star looks; Madame Jelisaweta, the Yugoslav hairdresser; and Milena, the mysterious girl in the wardrobe. The tormented relationship between her new parents haunts her days as she creates with her adoptive grandfather Tat the 'Encyclopaedia of Good Reasons' with which, one hopes, she will set out on her life's journey. A book with a very warm heart, rarely has a young girl's narrative been at once so uproariously hilarious and so deeply moving, so rooted in the issues of today's Europe and so universal.Born in 1965 in Thalwil, Switzerland, Monica Cantieni lives in Wettingen and Vienna. She is head of Multimedia in the Culture Department of Swiss Radio and Television. She debuted as a writer with "Hieronymus' Kinder" ('Hieronymus' Children') in 1996. The German edition of "The Encyclopaedia of Good Reasons" was shortlisted for the prestigious Swiss Book Prize in 2011.Dt. u. d. T.: Grünschnabel
