Sharp Objects

FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF GONE GIRL
Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls.

Otto anni dopo essere andata via da Wind Gap, la cittadina soffocante in cui è nata e cresciuta, Camille Preaker lascia Chicago per tornare in quel minuscolo avamposto cattolico del Missouri battista, luogo sperso nel nulla, dove la gente si illude di sapere come stare al mondo. È il giornale per cui lavora a spedirla laggiù, in seguito alla scomparsa della piccola Natalie Keene. Caso che somiglia a quello di un'altra bambina svanita nel nulla poco tempo prima, ricomparsa il giorno dopo nel letto di un torrente, strangolata. Aveva solo nove anni. Anche il cadavere di Natalie viene rinvenuto ben presto e la comunità di Wind Gap deve arrendersi all'evidenza: la mano che si è abbattuta con brutale meticolosità sulle due bambine è la stessa. A rivelarlo è un unico, macabro dettaglio..

According to Adam Smith, vanity is a vice that contains a promise: a vain person is much more likely than a person with low self-esteem to accomplish great things. Problematic as it may be from a moral perspective, vanity makes a person more likely to succeed in business, politics and other public pursuits. “The great secret of education,” Smith writes, “is to direct vanity to proper objects:” this peculiar vice can serve as a stepping-stone to virtue. How can this transformation be accomplished and what might go wrong along the way? What exactly is vanity and how does it factor into our personal and professional lives, for better and for worse?

Since the 1960s, astrophysical discoveries have blossomed, due to the emergence of powerful and new observational tools. Among them, a fantastic improvement of the sharpness of astronomical images, obtained with ground based optical telescopes, has been the result of two revolutions: adaptive optics and optical interferometry.
