The Lady, or The Tiger, written by Frank R. Stockton and narrated by Rebecca Thomas, invites the listener into a semi-barbaric world where justice is decided by fate. The right choice rewards the innocent with marriage; the wrong choice punishes the guilty by serving him to a starving tiger. When the princess' lover is sent to the arena, she discovers the secret of the choice. But what choice does she herself make?

The Lady or the Tiger, which will it be? The unanswerable question, but certainly something to think about. And going even further, did the princess regret her decision later? Originally published in 1882, in The Century magazine by Frank R Stockton, this short story has become an allegorical expression for an unsolvable problem.

In the ancient country of Orn an old man called the Bee-man spends his life in the company of bees. He lives humbly and contentedly until a Junior Sorcerer happens by with some disturbing news: The Bee-man, he says, has been transformed - he once was someone (or something) entirely different. But who? Or what? A giant or a prince? A dog or a dragon? The now restless Bee-man sets out on a quest to ascertain his original form, telling himself, "When I see it, I shall be drawn toward it."

Nordest: direzione cardinale, macro regione i cui confini geografici variano in base agli ambiti (letterario, economico, storico, culturale) e alla sensibilità personale, luogo dell'immaginario, terra (terre) di grandi scrittori, di partenze e arrivi. Limes. In tempo di analisi prét-à-porter, di approssimazioni, di slogan, questo libro prova a uscire dalle stereotipie, dai luoghi comuni e a entrare nelle nervature, nell'inconscio attraverso le parole degli autori. Il linguaggio, il ragionamento, il pensiero, lo sguardo attento, la riflessione personale e la memoria collettiva diventano antidoti alle attitudini, alla superficialità, al giudizio sommario.
