Mare nostrum
One red shoe
There is no getting used to it
Women on the way
The wounds you cannot see
Drawing lots
An irrevocable choice
The girl in the front row
Risky investments
A Fèrra
Back to the island
Little pieces of home
Omar is unstoppable
The will of the waves
The greatest gift
Faduma and Jerusalem
Young Anuar's wisdom
A blessing from heaven
Giacomo's path
Arms of giants
God is not to blame
The lengths they will go to
When a mayor understands what world leaders cannot
L'erba tinta un mori mai
The off-season tourist
Never shall I forget
The boat cemetery
You brought this upon yourself
Favor with the media
Lampedusa

Children of the same sea

"Situated more than one hundred miles off Italy's southern coast, the rocky island of Lampedusa has hit world headlines in recent years as the first port of call for hundreds of thousands of African and Middle Eastern refugees fleeing civil war and terrorism and hoping to make a new life in Europe. Dr. Pietro Bartolo, who runs the lone medical clinic on the island, has been caring for many of them--both the living and the dead--for a quarter century. Tears of Salt is Dr. Bartolo's moving account of his life and work set against one of the signal crises of our time. With quiet dignity and an unshakable moral center, he tells unforgettable tales of pain and hope, stories of those who didn't make it and those who did. Tears of Salt is a lasting work of literature and an intimate portrait of a remarkable man whose inspiring message rings clear: 'We can't and we won't be governed by our fears.

Lágrimas de sal es el conmovedor relato de la actual tragedia migratoria que se vive en las aguas del mediterráneo, pero es ante todo una historia de coraje, compromiso, dignidad y amor que no dejará a nadie indiferente.
