Un nuovo anno sta per concludersi e Asle, un anziano pittore rimasto vedovo, ripensa alla sua storia. L'uomo vive da solo sulla costa norvegese, i suoi unici amici sono il suo vicino, Åsleik, un contadino-pescatore scapolo, e Beyer, un gallerista che vive in città, a un paio d'ore di auto. Lì vive anche un altro Asle, artista anch'egli, solitario e consumato dall'alcool. Asle e Asle sono due versioni della stessa persona, due racconti della stessa vita, che si interrogano sull'esistenza, la morte, l'ombra e la luce, la fede e la disperazione.

Esta es una obra maestra de observación y simbolismo, en la que la delicada danza entre la libertad y la restricción se despliega a través de la vida de dos pájaros cautivos. 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.

Fino a quando non arriva dall'Inghilterra la giovane Sabine, di cui Luca si innamora entrando in conflitto con il proprio ambiente, la moglie e le regole di un mondo in cui egli stesso è irrimediabilmente prigioniero. Nella seconda parte del romanzo, la scena si sposta su un'isola vacanziera dove la presenza di Sabine farà esplodere in modo drammatico le contraddizioni che dominano il circuito di sciagurati gaudenti attorno ai quali Bulgaro traccia un disegno collettivo di grande respiro.

England in the time of his boyhood was a cold and colourless country. They had seen to that, the Autumn Men. They who had been lifted high, the old men of his country and other countries, who in the autumn of their years, reflecting on the unfulfilled promise of their youth, and their failures as yet unredeemed, feeling as any old man adrift alone on a small boat, sails broken, oars lost, swept hopelessly onward towards the deafening roar of the approaching weir, might feel, decided that too few had sweetly and honourably been called.

Frank ha diciannove anni ed è figlio dell’attraente tenutaria di una casa di appuntamenti in una città del Nord durante l’occupazione nazista. Freddo, scostante, insolente, solitario, Frank vuole in segreto una cosa sola: iniziarsi alla vita. E crede che il modo migliore per farlo sia uccidere qualcuno senza ragione. Con sbalorditiva sicurezza, Simenon entra nella testa di questo personaggio al limite fra l’abiezione e una paradossale innocenza, e intorno a lui fa vivere il mondo della neve sporca – la sordida scena di una città dove tutto è tradimento, rancore, doppio gioco.

Story
The plot centers on Anthony Beavis, a dilettante social theorist, a man inclined to recoil from life. The pleasures of the physical world disgust him and the universe of ideas is but a poor refuge. Having long lost the art of intimacy, he betrays friendships and toys with the affections of women. But as Beavis approaches middle age, his world of perfect detachment begins to lose its appeal. Finally realizing that his withdrawal from life has been motivated not by intellectual honesty but by moral cowardice, Beavis, devastated and at crisis point, meets the remarkable and redoubtable Dr Miller.

The narrator and central character of The Adolescent is Arkady Dolgoruky, a naive 19-year-old boy full of ambition and opinions. The illegitimate son of a dissipated landowner, he is torn between his desire to expose his father’s wrongdoing and the desire to win his love.

Story
In un futuro non troppo lontano, raggiunta una certa età – cinquant’anni per le donne, sessanta per gli uomini – le persone che non hanno avuto figli vengono rinchiuse in un complesso chiamato L’Unità. Un luogo idilliaco, almeno in apparenza: una struttura all’avanguardia con eleganti appartamenti immersi in splendidi giardini, dove vengono serviti elaborati pasti gourmet e dove gli ospiti, finalmente liberatisi del peso del giudizio sociale, hanno la possibilità di fare amicizia con persone come loro.

Story
"Hay una miríada de relatos en la tradición judía, y en parte también en la musulmana, que describe a Caín de forma diferente a la versión bíblica; y yo, que al fin y al cabo no soy más que un cuentacuentos, he trabajado sobre esos relatos alternativos." En esta obra, Andrea Camilleri ofrece una visión insólita y sorprendente del primer homicida de la historia. Se trata de un Caín inventor del concepto de elección, y por tanto de la idea de responsabilidad de la que descienden las nociones tan radicadas en la cultura occidental, de culpa y culpabilidad.

Clearly as anything. But there are things Shelley has forgotten too, including parts of her childhood. And as those start to come back to her, so do other memories.

Story
This hilarious, thought-provoking debut novel is a brilliant examination of art, celebrity, the natural world, and the power of language. It is an unforgettable, unputdownable adventure with a small but global cast of characters shaken by the shocks of love, destruction, and creation in one of Europe's last great wildernesses.
