Source text - Italian Karla, 13 anni, capita in palestra quasi per caso e la scherma diventa la sua disciplina. Accompagnata sempre dalla sua timida amica Ginny, formerà insieme alla precisa Lilli, una squadra vincente. Il cuore vuole la sua e Karla s’innamora di Leo, spadaccino infallibile e fidanzatino di Sophia, la temibile avversaria francese, reginetta indiscussa della palestra del maestro Bernard. Karla le darà filo da torcere, in una continua sfida, in pedana e per l’amore di Leo, il quale non rimarrà indifferente alla bellezza semplice della spadaccina italiana. Anche a casa la situazione non è facile: i genitori sono divorziati, Karla e Max, il suo fratellone combina guai, vivono con la madre. Il padre si fa vivo raramente e solo attraverso costosi regali. Karla arriverà a giocarsi la finale dei mondiali juniores, sognando le Olimpiadi.
Translation - English Karla (13) happens to be in a gym and, almost by chance, she finds out that fencing is her favourite sport. She teams up with her shy friend, Ginny, and a thorough girl, Lilli, achieving excellent results. But the heart wants what it wants, and Karla falls in love with Leo, an excellent swordsman who is also Sophia’s fiancé. Sophia is the fearful French opponent, the undisputed star of master Bernard’s gym. Karla will give her a hard time as they will continuously fight on and off the fencing mat, both for victory and Leo’s heart, while the young Italian swordswoman’s simple beauty will not leave the French boy indifferent.
Karla’s family situation is also critical: her parents are divorced and she lives with Max, her clumsy brother, and her mother. Her father rarely shows up and tries to bribe them with expensive gifts. Karla will reach the final match of the junior world championship, dreaming of the Olympics.

Source text - English Whatever doubt may still envelop the rationale of mesmerism, its startling facts are now almost universally admitted. Of these latter, those who doubt, are your mere doubters by profession — an unprofitable and disreputable tribe. There can be no more absolute waste of time than the attempt to prove, at the present day, that man, by mere exercise of will, can so impress his fellow, as to cast him into an abnormal condition, of which the phenomena resemble very closely those of death, or at least resemble them more nearly than they do the phenomena of any other normal condition within our cognizance; that, while in this state, the person so impressed employs only with effort, and then feebly, the external organs of sense, yet perceives, with keenly refined perception, and through channels supposed unknown, matters beyond the scope of the physical organs; that, moreover, his intellectual faculties are wonderfully exalted and invigorated; that his sympathies with the person so impressing him are profound; and, finally, that his susceptibility to the impression increases with its frequency, while, in the same proportion, the peculiar phenomena elicited are more extended and more pronounced.
Translation - Italian Qualunque ombra di dubbio possa ancora avvolgere la logica fondamentale del mesmerismo, le sue sconcertanti realtà sono oramai accettate universalmente. Coloro i quali ne dubitano ancora sono scettici di professione, una congrega di inutili e screditati individui. Non vi è maggior perdita di tempo della ricerca di una prova concreta che, ai giorni nostri, un uomo, con il puro e semplice esercizio della volontà, possa influenzare un suo simile al punto di indurlo in uno stato paranormale i cui segni ricordano assai quelli della morte, più che ogni altra condizione normale a noi conosciuta; che, in questo stato, la persona influenzata riesca a far uso, con gran sforzo e scarso risultato, dei propri organi sensoriali, continuando comunque a percepire, con raffinata percezione e attraverso canali che si presuppongono sconosciuti, questioni che vanno al di là della portata degli organi fisici; che le sue facoltà intellettive, inoltre, siano magnificamente esaltate e rinvigorite; che cresca, dentro di sé, una profonda simpatia nei confronti della persona che lo sta influenzando e che, infine, la sua suscettibilità a tale influenza incrementi di pari passo con la frequenza con cui viene esercitata mentre, nella stessa proporzione, quei particolari fenomeni dedotti ragionando diventano più estesi e più intensi.
