Titres dans Amitié

Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City has blazed a singular trail through popular culture, from a groundbreaking newspaper serial to a classic novel, to a television event that entranced millions around the world. The first of six novels about the denizens of the mythic apartment house at 28 Barbary Lane, Tales is both a wry comedy of manners and a deeply involving portrait of a vanished era.

Walter ist der unbeliebteste Postbote der ganzen Stadt. Er wird in die Abteilung für unzustellbare Briefe versetzt – und natürlich hasst er es. Eines Tages erreicht ihn ein Schreiben an den lieben Gott. Der zehnjährige Ben will wissen, wie man einen Antrag ausfüllt. Selbst Walter ahnt: Hier liegt einiges im Argen. Er antwortet Ben – selbstverständlich als Gott. Ein Briefwechsel beginnt, und Walter erfährt immer mehr über das Leben des Jungen mit seiner depressiven Mutter. Mehr als alles andere wünscht Ben sich einen Freund. Und Walter... nun, Walter hat seine eigenen Probleme.

En un pequeño y céntrico barrio de la ciudad hay cinco mujeres que compran flores.

La última soy yo y ésta es mi historia.

1947: Adventurous Radcliffe graduate Catherine “Cat” Killeen cancels her wedding and upends a future that no longer suits her. At the behest of her professor and hungry for a challenge, Cat arrives in Virginia to work on a confidential military project. A student in cryptoanalysis, Cat is already ahead of the game—to assist in rooting out Soviet spies who have infiltrated the US. Joining the “government girls” of Arlington Hall, Cat gains the respect of her superiors and the friendship of her peers. Then, on a night out in DC, Cat runs into Jonathan Dardis.

Set over the course of one rainy day in an ordinary English suburb, Arlington Park is a viciously funny portrait of a group of young mothers, each bound to their families, each straining for some kind of independence: Juliet, enraged at the victory of men over women in family life; Amanda, warding off thoughts of death with obsessive housework; Solly, about to give birth to her fourth child; Maisie, struggling to accept provincial life; and Christine, the optimist and host of a dinner party where the neighbors come together.

"La pozza del Felice" è una storia di montagna e di montanari ambientata in una valle remota delle Alpi svizzere. L'immensità delle vette che la sovrastano, l'incanto dei suoi silenzi, le pinete oscure, i crepacci innevati accolgono e fanno da sfondo a personaggi aspri, generosi, schietti e leali. Il fascino di un mondo selvaggio s'intreccia alla vita del protagonista, un vecchio di nome Felice, che trascorre giornate scandite dalle stesse immutabili abitudini. Un vecchio schivo ed enigmatico. Il suo riserbo attira l'attenzione del narratore e coprotagonista.
