0 0 • 58 min • 9.0/10

At the center of the third episode of "Per un pugno di libri" is one of the most famous and controversial novels of the twentieth century: "Lady Chatterley's Lover" by David H. Lawrence. Accused of obscenity, tried and finally acquitted in 1960, after more than forty years from its publication, today the work of the English writer appears as one of the cornerstones of the twentieth century for the courage and intensity with which amorous passion was expressed. Two classes challenge each other in the usual games around Lawrence's novel: the Raffaello technical tourist institute of Urbino and the Iris Versari scientific high school of Cesano Maderno (Monza). Leading the game, as always, is Geppi Cucciari with Piero Dorfles. Watch For a handful of books Season 17, Episode 3 L'amante di Lady Chatterley (di David H. Lawrence) in HD free online.

Il pranzo di Babette (di Karen Blixen)

In the first episode of the new season, the 5th A class of the scientific high school "S. Pertini" of Ladispoli and the 5th A class of the classical high school "G. Leopardi" of Macerata are competing. The text they are competing on is a short story by Karen Blixen, "Babette's Feast", which was made into a famous film. It is an opportunity to talk metaphorically about food, a very popular topic today. We see the relationship that kids have with food, discover their tastes and find a way to move from food to topics that have to do with current events.

Il sistema periodico (di Primo Levi)

Thanks to "The Periodic Table" by Primo Levi, to "For a Fistful of Books", with Geppi Cucciari and Piero Dorfles, we play with literature and with... chemistry. In fact, the stories in Levi's book, indicated as the best science book ever written, each bear the scientific name of a chemical element. Primo Levi, in addition to being a great writer, was also a chemist, and had studied at the Massimo D'Azeglio Classical High School in Turin, where the 3°B class comes from to play in the program. Against them is another 3°B: that of the Goffredo Mameli Classical High School in Rome. Leading the game, as always, is Geppi Cucciari with Professor Piero Dorfles.

La cripta dei Cappuccini (di Joseph Roth)

The episode of "Per un pugno di libri" focuses on the end of a world, the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This is in fact the theme of "La cripta dei Cappuccini", the novel by Joseph Roth. For the book's protagonist - and perhaps also for its author - the end of a world was also the end of the world. For the competing classes, it is an opportunity to read and engage with a masterpiece of twentieth-century literature. The 5th D of the Albert Einstein scientific high school in Milan and the 5th C of the Ruggero Settimo linguistic high school in Caltanissetta are competing in the episode. Leading the game, as always, is Geppi Cucciari with Professor Piero Dorfles.

La scomparsa di Patò (di Andrea Camilleri)

At the center of the episode of "Per un pugno di libri" is a manhunt. "La scomparsa di Patò" by Andrea Camilleri is the book on which the two competing classes must compete. Where has Patò gone, the gentle accountant who played Judas during the "Mortorio", the sacred representation of Good Friday? Was he killed? Did he escape? Was he perhaps involved in shady business? The 3°C of the Ernesto Cairoli classical high school in Varese and the 5°A of the Francesco Filelfo scientific high school in Tolentino (Macerata) unravel the tangle of newspaper articles, police reports and anonymous letters that make up the novel.

The tenth episode of "For a Fistful of Books" is an invitation to a crazy adventure. At the center of the game, in fact, is "Traveling with Aunt", the novel written by Graham Greene "for the pleasure of writing" and read by those who love the pleasure of reading. Spies, adventurers, drugs, sex, illicit trafficking, are the explosive mixture that the protagonist of the book comes across, overwhelmed by an eccentric and nonconformist aunt whose existence he was unaware of. Competing on the fun book are the 5°M class of the Giuseppe Cevolani classical high school in Cento (Ferrara) and the 3°A/B class of the Angelico Aprosio classical high school in Ventimiglia (Imperia).

Il naso (di Nikolaj Gogol)

The book in play is the funny long story by Nikolaj Gogol "The Nose": can you suddenly lose your nose, then find it walking down the street and finally get it back?

Le avventure di Pinocchio (di Carlo Collodi)

Last episode of "Per un pugno di libri": we will finally know which team is the winner of this edition. In fact, competing for the title of champions are the two classes that during the tournament qualified with the highest score: the 3°B of the Massimo D'Azeglio classical high school in Turin and the 5°A/S of the Iris Versari scientific high school in Cesano Maderno. At the center of the episode and the various tests is a classic of Italian literature, "The Adventures of Pinocchio", by Collodi, a book loved by generations of readers young and old but which today is perhaps more famous than read. It's an opportunity to pick it up again. Leading the game, as always, is Geppi Cucciari with Professor Piero Dorfles.
