La quiete della notte tra il 16 e il 17 luglio 1937 viene turbata a Bellano da un grido di donna. Trattasi di Emerita Diachini in Panicarli, che urla "Al ladro! Al ladro!" perché ha visto un'ombra sospetta muoversi tra i muri di via Manzoni. E in effetti un balordo viene poi rocambolescamente acciuffato dalla guardia notturna Romeo Giudici. È Serafino Caiazzi, noto alle cronache del paese per altri piccoli reati finiti in niente soprattutto per le sue incapacità criminali. Chiaro che il ladro è lui, chi altri?

Chi non si è mai trovato bloccato in un ingorgo? Chi non ha cercato di far passare il tempo osservando le macchine della fila accanto? E cosa succede se l'imbottigliamento dura giorni, settimane, mesi? Ecco ciò che avviene in Autostrada del Sud , il primo racconto di questa raccolta di Julio Cortázar, l'autore che ha aperto nuove vie nel genere in cui è un riconosciuto maestro, sgranando le sue amatissime ossessioni: il tema del doppio, la discontinuità fra spazio e tempo, l'irrazionale come alternativa al quotidiano.

In The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, a generation adrift searches for meaning in a world forever changed by war. Set against the vibrant backdrops of 1920s Paris cafés and the sun-drenched bullfighting arenas of Spain, this iconic novel captures the restless spirit of the Lost Generation. Through spare, powerful prose, the story follows a circle of expatriates chasing love, pleasure, and purpose. At the center is Jake Barnes, a journalist navigating emotional wounds that run deeper than the visible ones. .

Maremma toscana, novembre ’43. Le Case è un borgo lontano da tutto. René è il ciabattino del paese. Tutti lo chiamano Settebello, nomignolo che si è tirato addosso in tenera età, dopo aver lasciato tre dita sul tornio. Oggi ha cinquant’anni – schivo, solitario, taciturno. Niente famiglia. Ma c’è Anna, l’amica di sempre, che forse avrebbe potuto essere qualcosa di più... René non ha mai avuto il coraggio di dichiararsi. Poi ecco la guerra, che cambia tutto. Ecco che Settebello scopre la Resistenza. Possibile che una rivoluzione di questo tipo possa partire addirittura dalla suola delle scarpe?

Set against the backdrop of World War I, this gripping semi-autobiographical work captures the harsh realities of war as only Hemingway can. A story of love and pain, loyalty and desertion, A Farewell to Arms paints an intimate portrait of the pain and intensity of a love overshadowed by the inexorable creep of global war.

"The Torrents of Spring" is a novella by Ernest Hemingway, first published in 1926. It serves as a satirical commentary on the literary world and the nature of artistic creation. Set against the backdrop of post-World War I America, the story follows the journey of two main characters, the aspiring writer and the disillusioned author, as they navigate their personal and professional lives.

La comedia narra los divertidos entresijos en la alta burguesía del viejo Londres, y la doble personalidad que el protagonista, Jack Worthing adopta para, por una parte lograr tener la conciencia tranquila en armonía con lo que la sociedad nos dicta, el “ser formales, ser como es debido”, y por otra parte mostrarse como realmente es, con sus instintos, sus bajezas, en definitiva con su cara más natural.

First published in 1927, Men Without Women represents some of Hemingway's most important and compelling early writing. In these fourteen stories, Hemingway begins to examine the themes that would occupy his later works: the casualties of war, the often-uneasy relationship between men and women, sport and sportsmanship. Pared down, gritty, and subtly expressive, these stories show the young Hemingway emerging as America's finest writer.

In a stunning narrative combining the gritty rhythms of Junot Diaz with the noir genius of Walter Mosley, Bodega Dreams pulls us into Spanish Harlem, where the word is out: Willie Bodega is king. Need college tuition for your daughter? Start-up funds for your fruit stand? Bodega can help. He gives everyone a leg up, in exchange only for loyalty - and a steady income from the drugs he pushes.

Together with William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats, George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788–1824) was one of the most iconic literary figures of the early Romantic movement. His verse covers a wide range of genres, including large scale narrative poems, sonnets, and satirical quips. Byron led a most adventurous life, which included many romantic affairs and he died fighting in the Greek War of Independence.

El Vendedor de Suenos evoca las tribulaciones de Chino, un joven del Harlem hispano en busca del amor, de reafirmacion de identidad. Su relacion con Bodega, un capo magnanimo, un bandido generoso, lo sumerge en un mundo de intrigas y violencia.

"Three Short Stories & Ten Poems" is a captivating collection that showcases the literary prowess of Ernest Hemingway, one of the most influential writers of the 20th century.

Originally privately published in Paris, Three Stories and Ten Poems holds an interesting history. The three stories, “Up in Michigan", “Out of Season”, and “My Old Man”, were first seen in this collection, but “Up in Michigan” was banned and not considered publishable in America until 1938 because of its blatant sexuality. In addition, this original publication of the three stories is all that remains of Hemingway’s early works after his suitcase containing the originals was stolen.
