Un viaggio in una Napoli inquieta e indimenticabile attraverso episodi al limite del paradossale che ci permettono di incontrare personaggi che resteranno per sempre nel nostro immaginario. "Una straordinaria discesa agli Inferi: nel regno della tenebra e delle ombre" per usare le parole di Pietro Citati. Una discesa attraverso corpi miseri e disperati nel buio profondo di una disparità intollerabile che ci svela i due volti di una città insieme meravigliosa e conturbante.

Three works of fiction, two by Mary Wollstonecraft, and one by her daughter Mary Shelley, creator of Frankenstein. In Mary Wollstonecraft's Mary, the heroine flees her young husband in order to nurse her dearest friend, Ann, and finds genuine love, while Maria tells of a desperate young woman who seeks consolation in the arms of another man after the loss of her child. And Mary Shelley's Matilda - suppressed for more than a century - tells the story of a woman alienated from society by the incestuous passion of her father.

Coconut trees. Carnival. Rum and coke. To many outsiders, these idyllic images represent the so-called easy life in Caribbean nations such as Trinidad and Tobago. However, the reality is far different for those who live there — a society where poverty and patriarchy savagely rule, and where love and revenge often go hand in hand. Written in combination of English and Trinidad creole, Pleasantview reveals the dark side of the Caribbean dream.

Set against the tropics and megacities of the Americas, Maria, Maria takes inspiration from wild creatures, tarot, and the porous borders between life and death. Motivated by love and its inverse, grief, the characters who inhabit these stories negotiate boldly with nature to cast their desired ends. Brimming with sharp wit and ferocious female intuition, these stories bubble over into the titular novella, "Maria, Maria"—a family drama set in a reimagined California rainforest that explores the legacies of three Marias, and possibly all Marias.

Cuerpos que conciben. Cuerpos que crecen. Cuerpos que envejecen. Cuerpos que se rompen y sanan. Cuerpos que no olvidamos. Los cuerpos que deben ser cuidados y que cuidan. El asombro y la agitación en el descubrimiento; la dignidad y el esfuerzo en la superación; el dolor y el amor en el duelo conviven con una mirada lúcida y una literatura cómplice, donde el síntoma, la herida o la cicatriz son un canto a la vida.

Diese Sammlung führt in verschneite Dörfer, leuchtende Kirchen und geschäftige Märkte. Jede Geschichte spielt zur Weihnachtszeit und entfaltet Spannung in ruhigem Ton.

Este libro, ganador de la sexta edición del Premio Feel Good™, es el testimonio de la creación de la biblioteca Resistiré, iniciativa galardonada con el Premio Antonio de Sancha 2020 que concede la Asociación de Editores de Madrid, y cuya principal impulsora fue Ana María Ruiz López, enfermera del SUMMA 112, en el hospital de campaña de IFEMA en Madrid. Como buena lectora empedernida, su objetivo era acercar los libros a las personas allí ingresadas a fin de hacer más confortable su convalecencia y, en definitiva, ayudar a su recuperación.

Rainer Maria Rilke war nicht nur meisterhafter Poet, der in seinen Gedichten ganze Welten erschuf – er konnte auch mit dem größeren Pinsel malen. Seine Erzählungen lassen – trotz ihrer Kompaktheit – den Hörer eintauchen in eine neue Welt. Und nach dem Hören ist man noch lange in Nachdenken versunken.

Il folklore giapponese è ricco di creature spaventose: apparizioni inquietanti, demoni, creature metà animali e metà donne, mutaforma... Ma tutti questi esseri hanno una caratteristica in comune, radicata nella sensibilità del Giappone: non appartengono a una dimensione "altra", condividono il nostro stesso "spazio di realtà". Un elemento, questo, che Lafcadio Hearn riesce a trasmettere appieno, e non a caso le sue selezioni di racconti dal folklore nipponico sono considerate ancora oggi un ponte tra Occidente e Oriente.

All too often the talents of women have been scorned, mocked and laughed at. In reality that was more usually by those whose own talents were hardly fit to even grace their shadows. But society in general still connived and set women to one side in almost everything that men considered their rightful territory. And literature was one such territory. Remarkably resilient as well as talented these women strove to be published, to show themselves as equals. The results more often than not proved that they were.

Clássico de Machado de Assis, o conto "Maria Cora" é daqueles cuja tensão impede a interrupção da escuta. Movidas a paixão, a protagonista Maria Cora e as personagens Dolores e Prazeres ilustram a crítica do autor ao falso moralismo burguês. O enredo gira em torno do assassinato de João da Fonseca, com um narrador presente e participante, que contribui para colocar o ouvinte bem próximo das cenas.

This collection of gripping crime stories has become a classic. The idyllic village in the Swiss mountains with its iconic luxury hotel is not what it seems: Some of the guests do not have relaxation and winter sport on their minds - but murder. Death comes in many guises and in the most unlikely locations: in the cosy surroundings of hotel bars, on sunlit ski slopes and on thin ice.
