Moira O'Donnell c'est, derrière le feu des boucles rousses et l'énergie inépuisable, une femme qui lutte pour garder la tête hors de l'eau. C'est une vie d'adulte démarrée trop tôt. Ce sont trois gamins livrés à eux-mêmes et autant de boulots cumulés pour les nourrir. Ce sont des pères absents : le premier, incarcéré le plus longtemps possible, croit-elle, et le second, suicidé. C'est une culpabilité sans fin. Moira O'Donnell, c'est la solitude d'une mère de famille dure au mal qui se bat, tombe et renaît. Pour ses enfants. Et avec eux. À la vie, à la mort.

Presto capiamo che il giovane, Joe Haak, è un analista finanziario, i cui studi non hanno portato agli esiti auspicati, e ha deciso di buttarsi in mare, dove viene salvato dalla stessa balena che lui salverà il giorno dopo. Eppure, quando scoppia il primo caso di influenza in Asia, Joe saprà esattamente che cosa sta succedendo.

Una novela tan extraordinaria como la peripecia de sus protagonistas. En el año 2011, el narrador de esta novela y su familia llegaron, de un modo azaroso, a una vivienda casi en ruinas situada en un pequeño pueblo del sur de España. Un acuerdo con el propietario les permitiría hacer uso de ella mientras él encontraba financiación para construir allí unos apartamentos. Era solo cuestión de tiempo que la casa fuera derribada. Sin embargo, durante los años siguientes, pasaron largos periodos en ella, reparándola con sus propias manos, transformándola en un acogedor lugar de encuentro y celebración.

In der irischen Kleinstadt tuschelt man über das Paar, und auch Sally und Kilian, Declans Kinder, lehnen die neue Frau an der Seite ihres Vaters ab. Doch das schweißt die beiden nur noch mehr zusammen. Dann wird Declan dement. Die Krankheit verschlechtert sich rapide, er kommt in ein Pflegeheim. Sally und Kilian beschließen, das Haus zum Verkauf anzubieten, das ihm so wichtig war und für Carol zum Zuhause geworden ist.

Story
El relato Micromegas, escrito en 1752, es uno de los relatos cortos de Voltaire. Una sátira ingeniosa que narra el encuentro entre dos seres extraterrestres, Micromegas, un gigante de 120.000 pies de altura, y su compañero, un ser aún más grande de 800.000 pies de altura. Ambos provienen de estrellas distantes y visitan la Tierra en una búsqueda de conocimiento. A través de este relato, Voltaire explora temas como la relatividad de la perspectiva humana, la vanidad de la humanidad y la crítica satírica de la sociedad y la filosofía de su tiempo.
