Story
Nel memorabile incipit di questo libro, la madre di Emanuele Trevi, allora bambino, riferendosi al padre pronuncia più volte un’istruzione enigmatica: «Lo sai com’è fatto». Per non perderlo (ad esempio fra le calli di Venezia, in una passeggiata dell’infanzia) occorre comprendere e accettare la legge della sua distrazione, della sua distanza.

Story
Este libro es una novela, un ensayo, una autobiografía. La autora emprende en él un viaje al interior en un juego narrativo lleno de sorpresas. En La loca de la casa se mezclan literatura y vida en un cóctel afrodisíaco de biografías ajenas y autobiografía novelada. Y, así, descubrimos que el gran Goethe adulaba a los poderosos hasta extremos ridículos, que Tolstoi era un energúmeno, que Montero, de niña, fue una enana, y que, con veintitrés años, mantuvo un estrafalario y desternillante romance con un famoso actor.

Story
Daniele è un giovane poeta oppresso da un affanno sconosciuto, "una malattia invisibile all'altezza del cuore, o del cervello". Si rifiuta di obbedire automaticamente ai riti cui sembra sottostare l'umanità: trovare un lavoro, farsi una famiglia... la sua vita è attratta piuttosto dal gorgo del vuoto, e da quattro anni è in caduta "precisa come un tuffo da olimpionico". Non ha più nemmeno la forza di scrivere, e la sua esistenza sembra priva di uno scopo.

París, 1889. Obsesionado con la torre de metal, una estructura de acero de 300 metros de altura que se ha propuesto construir en medio del Champ-de-Mars, el ingeniero Gustave Eiffel apenas pone un pie fuera de su taller. La gran Exposición Universal de fin de siglo es la ocasión perfecta para que Francia le muestre al mundo que no ha perdido su grandeza. Pero ¿esta es la única razón que motiva al Mago de Hierro a dibujar planos sin parar hasta encontrar la forma perfecta?

Story
Una mujer indomable, un espíritu rebelde... una leyenda. Una de esas novelas que uno, simplemente, no puede perderse. Esta novela cuenta la historia de una mujer indomable, un espíritu rebelde. Destinada a crecer como la rica heredera de un magnate de la industria textil, desde pequeña supo que era diferente, que su capacidad de ver lo que otros no veían, de conectar con los animales, la convertía en especial. Desafió las convenciones sociales, a sus padres y maestros, y rompió cualquier atadura religiosa o ideológica para conquistar su derecho a ser una mujer libre, personal y artísticamente.

-
Story
Part diary, part scientific journal, part detective story, part love story: The Case of Emily V is thoroughly post-modern in its deliberate blurring of the distinction between fact and fiction, its cavalier blending of literary genres. But Oatley's first novel also resembles old 19th-century literature. His characters are dynamic, his storylines complex and suspenseful, his social commentary broad and integral to the plot.

Story
Sarebbe impossibile ricordare e raccontare tutti gli atti di silenzioso eroismo che da anni compiono gli abitanti di Lampedusa. Antonio Ferrara ha scelto di raccontare la storia di finzione di un ragazzo che rappresenta simbolicamente tutta la popolazione che da sempre si prodiga per accogliere i profughi sbarcati a migliaia su quelle coste. Gesti spontanei di gente semplice, uomini e donne sconosciuti che non hanno mai chiesto nessun riconoscimento e che molti hanno definito meritevoli del Nobel per la Pace. La storia esemplare dell'isola dell'accoglienza.

Story
Ricordi della casa dei morti fu scritto al termine della pena scontata da Dostoevskij in Siberia, dopo il 1859, e fu pubblicato tra il 1861 e il 1862. Infatti nel 1849 l’autore venne arrestato per partecipazione a società segreta con scopi sovversivi e condannato a morte, ma lo zar Nicola commutò questa condanna in lavori forzati a tempo indeterminato. Nel 1850 venne quindi deportato in Siberia, nella fortezza di Omsk. Nel febbraio del 1854 venne liberato per buona condotta, scontando il resto della stessa servendo nell'esercito come soldato semplice.

Story
Questo racconto, pubblicato nel 1922 , fu ispirato da un’osservazione di Mark Twain: che era un peccato che la parte migliore della nostra vita venisse all’inizio e la peggiore alla fine. Dice Francis Scott Fitzgerald: “Io ho cercato di dimostrare la sua tesi, facendo un esperimento con un uomo inserito in un ambiente perfettamente normale.”. Dal racconto, surreale ma niente affatto superficiale, è stato tratto un film nel 2008.

Story
"Il Muto di Gallura" è un personaggio a dir poco leggendario, probabilmente il più famoso dei "banditi vendicatori" dell'Ottocento sardo. Sebastiano Tansu Addis, questo il vero nome del "muto", era popolarissimo già in vita e venne reso immortale dal romanzo storico di Enrico Costa, un bestseller di fine '800. Una storia pazzesca, quella del Muto, tanto che fece sorgere vere e proprie leggende. Oggi, finalmente, questa incredibile vicenda è diventata anche un audiolibro, grazie all'adattamento e alla messa in voce magistrale di Gaetano Marino.
