El autor, con su inigualable profundidad psicológica y su agudo sentido de la naturaleza, teje una narrativa que explora el deseo innato de libertad frente a las cadenas invisibles que nos atan. Este relato no solo es un estudio sobre la autonomía y la interdependencia, sino también una reflexión poética sobre las relaciones humanas y nuestra propia búsqueda de liberación.

Bevor Charles Dickens mit "Oliver Twist" berühmt wurde, schrieb er Kurzgeschichten. 1836 veröffentlichte er die "Londoner Skizzen". Es sind Beobachtungen, Fantasien und Fiktionen, in denen Dickens das alltägliche Leben humorvoll beschreibt und gleichzeitig die sozialen Missstände im England des 19. Jahrhunderts kritisiert. Sie alle zeigen das London, das er so gut kannte, im Guten wie im Schlechten – seine Straßen, Theater, Gasthäuser, Pfandhäuser und Gefängnisse. Mit seiner eindringlichen Stimme erweckt Tom Vogt Dickens’ Alltagsszenen zum Leben.

Story
Una torre cilindrica di pietra, misteriosamente murata, si erge in una valletta boscosa temuta dai contadini, circondata da leggende su un antico terrore. Un rosone ornamentato e vetri multicolori svelano visioni inquietanti, mentre un antico testo rivela oscure pratiche di stregoneria legate a un malefico passato. Le famose storie dell’orrore dello scrittore statunitense Howard Phillips Lovecraft continuano a far discutere gli appassionati, incerti se collocarle nella categoria del fantastico più originale o delle cronache di un possibile domani, di un oggi “laterale” in cui antichi misteri si aprono come crepe nel tessuto della realtà.

Story
Una raccolta di racconti in cui si alternano le vicende di personaggi realmente vissuti o immaginari, di individui comuni o di straordinaria notorietà messi in scena attraverso giochi stilistici che sollecitano l'immaginazione e la riflessione, sempre attraverso uno sguardo ironico e disincantato. Seguiamo i protagonisti nel loro vissuto quotidiano e li cogliamo nel preciso momento in cui in esso si innesca un'occasione eccezionale di svolta, di cambiamento o di ridefinizione dell'esistenza.

Amare la musica e i dischi tanto da confondere la vita con le canzoni e il pop con la realtà è la malattia dell’autore di questi racconti. In un succedersi di situazioni esilaranti, psicologi, consulenti familiari, terapie di gruppo, medici e addirittura la Morte tentano di curare il protagonista dalla sua ossessione per la musica.

Story
Gottfried Keller legt in seiner Prosa eine außergewöhnliche Sprachgestaltung an den Tag, was sich besonders in der auffallend farbenreichen Ausschmückung sowohl der auftretenden Charaktere als auch sämtlichen Situations-Beschreibungen samt daraus zusammenhängenden Hintergründen äußert. Diese überaus elegante und wortgewandte Ausdrucksweise harmoniert wunderbar mit der Umgangssprache seiner Figuren, so dass im Resultat eine besondere Stilistik in jeder seiner Erzählungen auftritt und als Gesamteindruck immer eine subtile Ästhetik mitschwingt.

Story
Déroutantes et enivrantes, les nouvelles de Je suis celle qui veut sauver sa peau explorent les zones troubles de nos obsessions, vulnérabilités, hontes et angoisses. À l’image de la fragile peau de mue des reptiles, elles témoignent des morts réelles et symboliques qui jalonnent l’existence. Des histoires à vos risques et périls.

Story
Franz Kafka (1883- 1924) war ein deutschsprachiger Schriftsteller. Sein Hauptwerk bilden neben drei Romanfragmenten (Der Process, Das Schloss und Der Verschollene) zahlreiche Erzählungen. Kafkas Werke wurden zum größeren Teil erst nach seinem Tod und gegen seine letztwillige Verfügung von Max Brod veröffentlicht, einem engen Freund und Vertrauten, den Kafka als Nachlassverwalter bestimmt hatte. Kafkas Werke werden zum Kanon der Weltliteratur gezählt. Für die Beschreibung seiner ungewöhnlichen Art der Schilderung hat sich ein eigenes Wort entwickelt: "kafkaesk".

Story
Alyosha the Pot is a short story written by Leo Tolstoy (1905) about the life and death of a simple, uncomplaining worker. It was published after Tolstoy's death in 1911 and received high praise from Tolstoy's contemporaries. Without ever calling Alyosha a holy fool, Tolstoy centers the story on his meekness, aloofness, and foolishness. Alyosha's simple life, soft-spoken manner, and calm acceptance of death epitomizes Tolstoyan principles.
