Carl Sagan said: “Reading opens doors, takes you places you never thought you would go, lets you experience other people’s lives, and gives you perspectives you never would have discovered otherwise. It is one of humanity’s greatest treasures.”

This year, from December 1st to 24th, I invite you to discover every day on Memento a literary recommendation, alternating between novels and graphic novels, which highlights powerful and evocative stories, which connect cultures, explore the significant events of History and the memories which transcend generations, thus revealing the secrets of the past and reminding us of our duty to preserve collective memory.

So discover or rediscover stories that highlight emblematic characters across the world, international relationships drawn from betrayal and collaboration, and forgotten events that deserve to be rediscovered.
