Told in Ruskin Bond's simple yet poignant style, the stories and poems in No Man Is an Island thoughtfully explore the many shades of friendship and camaraderie. Featuring classic tales such as 'The Woman on Platform No. 8', in which a mysterious stranger befriends a young boy, and 'The Crooked Tree', in which a writer and a hawker form an unlikely bond, this heartwarming collection is a must-listen.

Undici Racconti. Unidici storie unite solo dalla provenienza, la penna dell'autore. Unidici racconti che ruotano attorno all'amore e la morte, apici alternanti dell'esistenza. La Morte che tutto appiana. La Morte che glorifica. La Morte che vive. L'amore che finisce e quello che cerca di decollare, sembra che spicchi il volo, ma nulla. L'amore, le sue promesse e illusioni. Ed infine una confessione che libera lo scrittore.

In questo mio primo audiolibro sono raccolti tre racconti e una riflessione. I brani sono stati estratti dal mio volume "Il mio viaggio continua". Riascoltando i miei brani, non c'è volta che non mi meravigli per la bellezza dei racconti interpretati magistralmente dalla voce di Francesca, che ha saputo dare il giusto peso empatico ed emotivo a tutti e quattro i brani. Penso che quando si scrive si entri in un altro mondo, diverso dalla nostra quotidianità, e ci si colleghi con un'altra dimensione.

Почему многие подчеркивают строки в книгах и строчат на полях, а другие с ужасом смотрят на малейшую небрежность? А какие тайны хранят полки домашней библиотеки каждого из нас? Всех ведь раздражает необходимость ставить книги на полке в два ряда? Читатель на кушетке — ироничный и забавный альманах привычек, связанных с чтением, и глубоких механизмов, которые делают наши отношения с книгами почти что эротичными и временами невротичными. Эта книга посвящена читателям-психотикам и читателям-невротикам: тем, кого охватывает тоска, если им приходится одолжить книгу, и тем, кто обещает себе во время чтения не зевать.
