\"Persona di ceto basso dotata di capitale intellettuale ma priva di denaro in eccedenza cerca persona di ceto alto con abbondante denaro in eccedenza per godimento di reciproci vantaggi, tra cui, fra gli altri, maggiore speranza di vita, migliore alimentazione, riduzione dell'orario lavorativo e anticipazione dell'età pensionabile.\"\r\nPrendi il quartiere a nord-ovest di una città. Prova a conoscere i suoi abitanti: ci troverai gente che da quelle parti è nata e cresciuta, e altri che si sono appena trasferiti, gente che sta dalla parte del potere e gente che non ne ha un briciolo. E poi troverai tutti gli altri, quelli che stanno nel mezzo. Ma fai attenzione, se guardi meglio verso il quartiere a nord-ovest, ti accorgi che ci sono anche uomini che capitano da quelle parti come un'apparizione, e la loro presenza rischia di sconvolgere l'intero sistema. Così accade quando una sconosciuta si presenta alla porta di Leah Hanwell in cerca d'aiuto, obbligandola a uscire dal suo isolamento. Zadie Smith la segue, segue a nord-ovest quattro londinesi - Leah, Natalie, Felix e Nathan - e il loro tentativo di costruirsi una vita da adulti al di fuori del quartiere popolare della loro infanzia.

WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION\n\nSHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE\n\nSUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER\n\nFrom the acclaimed author of Swing Time, White Teeth and Grand Union, discover a brilliantly funny and deeply moving story about love and family\n\nWhy do we fall in love with the people we do? Why do we visit our mistakes on our children? What makes life truly beautiful?\n\nSet between New England and London, On Beauty concerns a pair of feuding families - the Belseys and the Kipps - and a clutch of doomed affairs. It puts low morals among high ideals and asks some searching questions about what life does to love. For the Belseys and the Kipps, the confusions - both personal and political - of our uncertain age are about to be brought close to home: right to the heart of family.\n\n'I didn't want to finish, I was enjoying it so much' Evening Standard\n\n'Thrums with intellectual sass and know-how' Literary Review\n\n'Filled with humour, generosity and contemporary sparkle' Daily Telegraph \n\n'Satirical, wise and sexy' Washington Post

\"Nel corpo del messaggio c'era scritto solo: \"ora tutti sanno chi sei veramente\". Il genere di frase che poteva avere scritto una vendicativa bambina di sette anni. E infatti - se si può ignorare il trascorrere del tempo - era proprio così.\"\r\nTracey e la narratrice di questa storia sono simili, ma anche diverse. Tracey ha riccioli seducenti raccolti con nastri di raso, minigonne e un sorriso vivace. Ha un talento luminoso per la danza. La narratrice ha intelligenza e un naso severo, una tendenza alla malinconia. Ha i piedi piatti ma un intuito anticipatore per la musica. Amiche, complici, rivali. Malgrado le diversità, l'amicizia tra le due ragazzine cresce, strettissima, alimentata da una competizione sotterranea. Poi di colpo finisce. Sono diventate grandi, ognuna deve fare i conti con il proprio talento... Zadie Smith torna a raccontare l'amicizia assoluta e inquieta tra adolescenti, il mondo dei sobborghi multiculturali, l'attrazione perturbante per coloro che sono animati da un talento e nascondono un segreto. La danza in queste pagine diventa la scrittura stessa di Zadie Smith, che ha grazia naturale, non perde mai il ritmo e sa raccontare con affilata precisione le ambizioni e le ingiustizie sociali, i desideri degli adolescenti e i sogni della nostra epoca.

Published in the first month of the first year of the new century, Zadie Smith's debut novel White Teeth - winner of the Guardian First Book Award and the Whitbread First Novel Award - was an immediate bestseller and stunningly acclaimed.\n\nOne of the most talked about fictional debuts of ever, White Teeth is a funny, generous, big-hearted novel, adored by critics and readers alike. Dealing - among many other things - with friendship, love, war, three cultures and three families over three generations, one brown mouse, and the tricky way the past has of coming back and biting you on the ankle, it is a life-affirming, riotous must-read of a book.\n\n'Funny, clever ... and a rollicking good read' Independent \n\n'An astonishingly assured debut, funny and serious ... I was delighted' Salman Rushdie\n\n'The almost preposterous talent was clear from the first pages' Julian Barnes, Guardian\n\n'Quirky, sassy and wise ... a big, splashy, populous production reminiscent of books by Dickens and Salman Rushdie ... demonstrates both an instinctive storytelling talent and a fully fashioned voice that's street-smart and learned, sassy and philosophical all at the same time' New York Times\n\n'Smith writes like an old hand, and, sometimes, like a dream' New Yorker\n\n'Outstanding ... A strikingly clever and funny book with a passion for ideas, for language and for the rich tragic-comedy of life' Sunday Telegraph\n\n'Do believe the hype' The Times\n\n'Relentlessly funny ... idiosyncratic, and deeply felt' Guardian\n\nZadie Smith was born in north-west London in 1975.
