Around the World in 80 Days is an adventure novel by the French writer Jules Verne, first published in French in 1872. A classic adventure story about the incredible journey of the gentleman Phileas Fogg and his servant-companion Passepartout.

From a searing meditation on the experience and aftershocks of a sexual assault - written as a series of unflinching cantos - to poems of love, place and new beginnings, Feeney's voice is strong and clear, challenging and confessional, rooted in her west coast of Ireland heritage while speaking to and with women everywhere.

Story
Este libro está dirigido a los lectores que buscan una introducción a la confusa diversidad de la literatura alemana. El orden cronológico elegido es el más adecuado para este fin porque, a diferencia de los métodos de ordenación orientados a temas o géneros, muestra una génesis y traza la genealogía de la literatura alemana. El hecho de que la novela de Goethe Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre probablemente habría tenido un aspecto completamente distinto sin el Simplicissimus de Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen puede mostrarse más fácil y eficazmente en el contexto de un viaje en el tiempo presentado cronológicamente.

"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.

Un annuncio misterioso, uno scherzo innocente e un duello tra un coniglio e una pantera immateriali danno il via a Sorella di Messalina di Annie Vivanti, una storia avvincente. Alberto, un giovane pittore di talento, si ritrova intrappolato in una rete di inganni e distruzione tessuta da una donna enigmatica. Conosciuta come Raimonda per Alberto e Rosalia per Adriano, questa donna misteriosa danza nelle tenebre. Il suo vero nome non ha importanza. Non è bella, né giovane, né buona, ma chiunque la incontri non può più lasciarla, pur sapendo che non c’è speranza di uscirne indenne.

Este es un relato inquietante, cruel y sobrecogedor. Es breve, contado a manera de diario. Aunque corto, sus palabras no son efímeras. A lo largo de los días, el juez desvela los secretos de la naturaleza humana. Quien rastree sus pasos se percatará que no existe criterio moral para salvar una vida u otra. En este relato, El Loco, Maupassant nos invita a seguir a un juez, que ha muerto a sus ochenta y dos años de edad. Muchos lo aclamaban en vida y fueron ellos los que le lloraron el día de su funeral.

Story
In der Sprache liegt der Schlüssel verborgen, der uns die Welt verstehen lässt. Ohne das gesprochene Wort in Schriftform ist es nicht möglich Zusammenhänge zu verstehen, Ideen zu verbreiten und die Welt in ihrer Diversität und Komplexität auch nur im Ansatz zu erahnen. Ein weit mehr als gewiefter Wort-Profi, ein überaus einfühlsamer Geist mit Verständnis für literarische Form und künstlerische Ästhetik ist vonnöten, um solch großartige Analysen über Werke zu verfassen, die einem ein größeres Verständnis darüber vermitteln und damit gleichzeitig neue Perspektiven in scheinbar (Un)bekanntes eröffnen.

Story
Рига, начало восьмидесятых. Марк — заведующий комиссионным магазином. С жильем, но без дома. С женщинами, но без любимой. С пропиской, но без родины. Живет без драм и потрясений, но всё не может дотянуться до счастья, которое, казалось бы, рядом. Этот поиск не раз перекраивает жизнь героя, а возвращение на землю предков — только один из шагов на пути к самому себе. Дебютный роман Мириам Залманович отправляет читателя в путешествие по судьбам людей того времени, которое еще не успели забыть улицы Витебска, Риги, Хайфы.

Story
In der Sprache liegt der Schlüssel verborgen, der uns die Welt verstehen lässt. Ohne das gesprochene Wort in Schriftform ist es nicht möglich Zusammenhänge zu verstehen, Ideen zu verbreiten und die Welt in ihrer Diversität und Komplexität auch nur im Ansatz zu erahnen. Ein weit mehr als gewiefter Wort-Profi, ein überaus einfühlsamer Geist mit Verständnis für literarische Form und künstlerische Ästhetik ist vonnöten, um Titanen der Lyrik, Prosa und Wissenschaft in Bezug auf deren Werke zu analysieren und deren Quintessenzen zu verdeutlichen.
