Story0
"Animal Farm", a fairy story, is a short novel by George Orwell. It describes a farm where animals revolt, take over and drive out men. It is an apologue written in the form of an animal fable, but also a dystopia. In this novel, Orwell offers a satire of the Russian Revolution and a critique of the Soviet regime, particularly Stalinism, and beyond that, authoritarian regimes and totalitarianism. The book was named one of the 100 best English-language novels written from 1923 to 2005 by Time magazine.

El personatge de Paulina Buxareu és el de l’entranyable tieta soltera que trobem a tantes famílies, i que per no tenir una vida pròpia es conforma amb viure intensament la dels demés... Una de les obsessions de Paulina Buxareu és, paradoxalment, donar consells amorosos i intentar emparellar a qui se li posi per davant, fet que donarà peu a algunes complicacions, que haguessin estat del tot innecessàries si Paulina no hi hagués intervingut.

Una noche todos los animales de la granja del señor Jones se reúnen en el granero para escuchar al viejo Mayor, un cerdo de avanzada edad, que les cuenta que ha tenido un sueño sobre un mundo en el que todos los animales viven libres de la tiranía de sus amos. El viejo mayor muere poco después de la reunión en el granero, pero los animales inspirados por su filosofía animalista empiezan a planificar una rebelión contra el señor Jones. Ésta obra de George Orwell es una magnífica sátira contra el régimen de Joseph Stalin que corrompió la pureza de la idea del socialismo.

Candide è in grande difficoltà. Afflitto da una serie infinita di tragiche sfortune, riesce comunque a tenere la testa alta, rimanendo caparbiamente aggrappato alla promessa del filosofo Leibniz per la quale il mondo in cui viviamo è il migliore dei mondi possibili. "Candide", la celebre e pungente satira di Voltaire del 1959, ha un ritmo frenetico, è caustico e fa sbellicare dalle risate, ma al contempo contiene un'esplorazione magistrale della filosofia, della religione, del pregiudizio e della crudeltà del cieco ottimismo.

Story1
Få böcker har haft samma genomslag som ”Don Quijote av la Mancha”. Berättelsen om den excentriske don Quijote, som efter att ha läst för många riddarromaner börjar tro att han är en riddare, har fängslat läsare i över 400 år. Tillsammans med sin vän Sancho Panza ger han sig ut på äventyr för att rätta till alla orättvisor han ser i det spanska samhället – trots att hans omvärld ofta ser verkligheten genom helt andra ögon. Med humor, satir och värme skildrar Miguel de Cervantes en tragikomisk berättelse om galenskap, idealism och missförstånd.

Nemerov’s first novel, "The Melodramatists" is a parody of life in 20th Century America. When wealthy Nicholas Boyne is committed to a mental health facility, his two daughters, Claire and Susan, are left to their own devices. Susan embarks on an ill-fated affair with her psychiatrist, while Claire undergoes a spiritual awakening and sets about a plan to convert the family home into a retreat for the rehabilitation of prostitutes.

Alice lever et alt for almindeligt liv i Paris. Dagene går med gymnasiet og aftener bag kassen i hendes fars slikbutik, Sucretaire d’Alice. Hun drømmer om, at der en dag vil ske noget, der gør hendes liv mindre almindeligt og mere som det liv, de berømte, succesfulde, smukke mennesker lever på de sociale medier. Og så en aften går hendes drøm i opfyldelse. En lastvogn vælter og en ung mand dukker halvnøgen op i slikbutikken, angiveligt på flugt fra mænd klædt i hættetrøjer. Han ved ikke, hvem han er, hvor han kommer fra, og han har intet navn.

Vorher gilt es aber noch ein Denkmal zu hinterlassen. Sein Abschiedsbrief, den er an die Wände seines Schlossdomizils schreibt, enthält seine mal lustige, mal traurige Lebensgeschichte - und die mehr oder weniger versehentlichen begangenen Morde.

Dos vigilants, aïllats en l’aparcament d’un edifici de luxe, esperen l’arribada del seu relleu i de les provisions que els mantenen amb vida. Tenen prohibit comunicar-se amb els residents, i la situació s’agreuja quan observen com tots, excepte un, abandonen l’edifici el mateix dia. La suposició que al món exterior hagi esclatat una catàstrofe, la falta de provisions i la possibilitat que tot sigui una prova per a aconseguir un ascens els portaran al límit de la seva resistència.

Esta novela corta, enfrenta dos mundos irreconciliables: el lujo, el optimismo y el dinero contrapuestos a la desdicha, la pobreza y la apatía vital. Gordon Sterrett, como Jim Powell en "El gominola", buscará su absolución en un ensueño de juventud y encanto que le rechaza: el infierno no cabe en el paraíso. Por su lado pasan fugazmente personajes como Edith Bradin, hermosa encarnación de cuanto Gordon ha perdido; los soldados Key y Rose, reverso patético del fulgor del grand monde, y los grotescos señor Entrada y señor Salida, figuras bufas cuyas cómicas intervenciones contribuirán a resaltar la magnitud del dramático desenlace.
