Faith here is not triumphant or polished. It is tender, stubborn, and luminous — a quiet turning toward God in seasons of doubt, waiting, grief, and becoming.

"A intensa vida sexual arredondou-lhe as formas, disfarçou as arestas e as anfractuosidades – emprestou-lhe beleza" – o tom cru da descrição naturalista comanda essa narrativa excepcional de Lima Barreto, que tem por protagonista a infeliz Adélia, vítima da sociedade em que vive. Em "Sua excelência", por sua vez, o que o leitor encontra é um exemplo ancestral da literatura fantástica, em que o devaneio de um cocheiro e a vaidade de um ministro se misturam.

Due percorsi narrativi in versi, due vasti movimenti poetici che rivelano, nei termini di una insolita energia espressiva, il carattere di un autore che da sempre si è mosso con efficacia coinvolgente sul doppio registro della scrittura in versi e del romanzo. Daniele Mencarelli, con Degli amanti non degli eroi, riesce qui a comporre un doppio quadro, con due poemetti complementari nella loro diversa fisionomia, nella linearità internamente turbata dell'ampio racconto d'amore fra due giovanissimi, in apertura, e nelle screziature interne, anche sul piano della pronuncia e della versificazione, di Lux Hotel, il testo successivo.

Omnec spricht und singt über die Liebe mit sphärischer Hintergrundmusik (engl. Original). “Die Liebe ist in der physischen Welt eine der mächtigsten Emotionen, die sich auf unzählige Arten ausdrückt. Liebe kann die Sinne überwältigen oder subtil sein. Liebe ist für jeden von uns verschieden. Liebe kann dazu benutzt werden, schöpferisch zu sein oder sie kann zerstören. Liebe kann dazu benutzt werden, zu manipulieren und zu kontrollieren oder sie kann frei verschenkt werden. Wenn Du Liebe in allen Formen erfahren hast, dann lernst Du bedingungslose Liebe kennen.”
