Story
A story of homecoming, this engrossing novel opens with a young, city-based lawyer setting out on her first visit to ancestral country. Candice arrives at ‘the place where the rivers meet’, the camp of the Eualeyai where in 1918 her grandmother Garibooli was abducted. As Garibooli takes up the story of Candice’s Aboriginal family, the twentieth century falls away. Garibooli, now renamed Elizabeth, is sent to work as a housemaid, but marriage soon offers escape from the terror of the master’s night-time visits.

Story
Di cosa è fatta una vita? Di domeniche pigre in cui non rispondiamo al telefono per rimanere sul divano abbracciando un libro appena iniziato. Di ore spese inutilmente a cercare le sigarette, le chiavi della macchina, gli occhiali da sole, perché si sa che spesso le cose si spostano per farci dispetto. Di mattine in cui scopri allo specchio che in una notte hai preso cinque anni e non ti resta che tifare per un po’ d’indulgenza.

William Stoner wird 1891 als Sohn armer Farmer in Missouri geboren. Das Landwirtschaftsstudium lässt er ohne Reue hinter sich, als er seine Liebe zur Literatur entdeckt. Hart arbeitet er für seinen Aufstieg, bringt es bis zum Professor. Doch sonst ist sein Leben enttäuschungsreich: Seine Ehefrau entpuppt sich als gefühlskalte Intrigantin, die seine enge Beziehung zur Tochter zerstört, die leidenschaftliche Liebe zu einer Studentin muss er aufgeben. Und ein Widersacher an der Uni setzt alles daran, Stoners Reputation zu beschädigen. Ein großartiger Roman über einen Mann, der seine Würde durch alle Widernisse rettet.

Dieses Hörbuch vereint drei feinsinnige Erzählungen von Siegfried Lenz. Gelesen von der Schauspielerin Angela Schmid, wirkt es wie Balsam für die Ohren. Die im Nachhinein für das ZDF verfilmte Titelerzählung "Die Flut ist pünktlich" ist eine feinfühlige Geschichte über eine Dreiecksbeziehung, die für alle Beteiligten zum Verhängnis wird. Darüber hinaus beinhaltet dieses Hörbuch zwei weitere Erzählungen: "Herr und Frau S. in Erwartung ihrer Gäste" und "Die Lampen der Eskimos".

Story
Con il suo caratteristico stile ironico e surreale, ricco di riferimenti colti e soluzioni linguistiche originali, Roberto Barbolini torna con una nuova raccolta di racconti che esplorano il tragicomico intreccio fra le "basse voglie" del corpo e il richiamo insopprimibile del sacro nell’epoca della sua impossibilità.

Story
Un paese di montagna, un'antica villa con troppe stanze, l'ultimo erede di un casato ormai estinto, lo scontro al calor bianco tra due uomini che non sembrano avere nulla in comune... Quanto siamo fedeli all'idea di noi stessi che abbiamo ricevuto in sorte? Matteo Melchiorre ha costruito una storia tesissima ed epica sulla furia del potere, le leggi della natura e la libertà individuale.

Story
È un mattino cristallino come tanti a Miden. Una ragazza bussa alla porta di una coppia con un'accusa di abuso sessuale. L'accusato è il suo ex professore di filosofia. La compagna del professore aspetta un figlio. Sono entrambi approdati a Miden da un paese straniero, sprofondato nel Crollo: una devastante crisi economica. Miden è la società ideale che li ha accolti, un nuovo Eden di eguaglianza e benessere, una piccola comunità laica e razionalista, tanto solidale quanto inflessibile. Il professore e la studentessa hanno avuto una storia in passato.

Story
Luca Sabatini ritorna al paese natale in Abruzzo dopo quarant'anni di prigione: il vero colpevole del delitto ha confessato in punto di morte. L'intero borgo però non perdona a Luca quel presunto "peccato" che è stato foriero di rovina per tutti, né gli perdona di non aver tentato di difendersi. Uomo mite, Luca sopporta la solitudine sorretto dal segreto ricordo di un amore impossibile. Solo Andrea Cipriani, antifascista e capo partigiano appena tornato dall'esiilio, cerca di comprendere.

La narradora visita en el hospital a una amiga que padece un cáncer terminal y decide instalarse con ella en su casa para acompañarla en sus últimos días.

Story
O carte despre modul în care traumele din copilărie ajung să ne domine și să sufoce maturitatea. O poveste care probabil reprezintă realitatea multor familii de aici și de aiurea: amprenta lăsată asupra viitorului unui copil de un părinte autoritar, violent și incapabil să își depășească neputințele. O istorie a metamorfozei unei personalități abuzate de violență și frică, o privire emoționantă asupra maternității înăbușite de stereotipuri și a unei iubiri care putea să fie perfectă, dacă protagoniștii săi ar fi trăit prezentul (clipa).

Story
Personaje memorabile, un remarcabil simț al limbii și al construcției narative sunt doar câteva dintre calitățile acestui surprinzător roman al lui Bogdan Coșa. Istoria unei familii rurale, apăsată de maledicția insecurității, a alcoolismului, a neșansei sociale în care tinerii își visează plecarea, ne amintește, cu discreție, de fragilitatea umană în aceste vremuri derutante. Carte a deplinei maturități creatoare, Cât de aproape sunt ploile reci marchează o dată pe harta prozei actuale.
