BIANCA COME IL LATTE, ROSSA COME IL SANGUE (ENGLISH TITLE: AS WHILE AS MILK, AS RED AS BLOOD)

Book ID/图书代码： 00760009B32689

English Summary/英文概要： Leo is a sixteen-year-old like many others: he loves to hang out with his friends, football, running around on his small motorcycle. But the hours he spends at school, are a bind, his teachers "an unprotected species that he hopes will soon die out". So, when a new supply teacher arrives to teach history and philosophy Leo prepares to welcome him with cynicism and pare balls soaked in saliva. But the young teacher turns out to be different. There is a light in his eyes when he explains things and he pushes the students to live intensely and to pursue their dreams.
And Leo’s dream is called Beatrice, the prettiest girl in the school. Beatrice is passion, she who, with a look, can open the gates of paradise. When he learns that Beatrice is suffering from leukemia, Leo is obliged to dig into himself, to bleed and be reborn, in order to understand that dreams cannot die and to find the strength to believe in something bigger than himself.
A mesmerising novel that, through Leo’s monologue - sometimes irreverent and brilliant, sometimes acutely moving, warm and touching - explains what happens when the life of an adolescent is afflicted by suffering, fear and death, and tries to provide some strong and intense replies that are neither definitive nor obvious.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 義大利當前最矚目的明日之星！對Leo而言人生就像牛奶一樣白，像血一樣紅！

「我是在開學的第一天出生，但就在兩百天後我已經長大變老了…」
16歲的Leo和同年齡的青少年一樣，喜歡和朋友廝混、踢足球，騎著摩托車到處晃，學校對他而言就像無法擺脫的監獄般，學校裡的老師就像一群沒用的傢伙，希望他們趕快絕跡。
有天，新來了一位歷史及哲學的代課老師，Leo為了給老師見面禮，準備以他們慣用的嘲諷言語及沾滿唾液的氣球歡迎他，但令他意想不到的是，這位年輕老師的反應絲毫沒有責罵對待，反而以和善態度回應。從此，Leo在這位老師的課堂上感受到一股前所未有的啟發，使他開始對生活及夢想展開積極的行動。
而對Leo而言，他的夢想便是能認識全校最美的女生Beatrice。但是，這位貌如天仙及活潑大方的資優生Beatrice卻先天罹患不治之病血癌，當Leo得知此事後，便想盡辦法試圖挽救Beatrice及自己的夢想…因為對於現在的他而言，人唯有夢想才能活，如果沒有夢想一切就結束了。
在這部充滿魅惑小說裡，透過主人翁Leo的獨白，時而桀傲不遜，時而發人深省，令人感觸的言談中，我們將看到當前青少年在承受病痛、恐懼及死亡的問題，如何以找到自己所能體會的解答。(VL)
