Als Angela, die 15jährige Tochter des erfolgreichen Chirurgen Timoteo, mit ihrem Motorroller einen Unfall erleidet und bewusstlos mit schweren Kopfverletzungen ins Krankenhaus eingeliefert wird, gerät Timoteos Welt ins Wanken. Während er unter Schock vor der Tür des Operationssaals wartet, in dem Kollegen um das Leben seiner Tochter kämpfen, überschlagen sich seine Gedanken. Timoteo geht mit sich ins Gericht, legt Rechenschaft ab, Rechenschaft über eine leidenschaftliche verbotene Liebe zu einer Frau, die nicht Angelas Mutter ist. Verzweifelt auf die erlösende Nachricht wartend, dass seine Tochter am Leben bleiben wird, entblösst er eine dunkle Seite seiner Seele, die Wahrheit über sich, die er bislang unterdrückt hatte. 'Geh nicht fort' ist die überzeugende, einfühlsame Geschichte einer grossen geheimen Leidenschaft - schonungslos offen, packend über die tiefsten Gefühle, über die Intimität eines Mannes, über etwas, das dieser Mann von Welt unausgesprochen, ungedacht, ungelebt lässt. Margaret Mazzantini seziert darin die männliche Seele und trifft den Betrachter mitten ins Herz. (Quelle: CeDe.ch).

Summary: When a bank robber named Tomas is the only survivor of a plane wreck, the luckless Federica thinks he's found the man who can defeat the Jew--the luckiest man alive, a Holocaust survivor who sits at the apex of a weird, underground world of increasingly dangerous gambles. But on their trail is a police detective named Sara who's pretty lucky herself--and as she learns more about how luck works, she begins to suspect she survived a car crash because she stole the luck of her husband and child, both of whom died.

Chaque lundi, Santa et ses amis prennent le bac qui les mène dans une ville industrielle du nord de l'Espagne. Chaque semaine, il leur faut se préparer à chercher ce travail qui leur échappe depuis que le chantier naval est fermé, il y a cinq ans. Chacun à sa manière résiste aux angoisses et aux humiliations des banquiers. Heureusement, il y a Santa, toujours prêt à revendiquer ses droits et à défendre sa fierté mais aussi celle de ses amis. Pour lui, les combats ne cessent jamais et la dignité est la seule chose qu'il ne cédera pas aux patrons ou à cette justice qui le poursuit pour un lampadaire détruit lors des grèves.
