Tonio Kröger, iki dünyanın eşiğinde büyümüş bir ruhtur: Bir yanında disiplinli, “doğru” ve güvenli burjuva hayatı; diğer yanında ise düzensiz, yalnız ve yakıcı bir çağrı gibi duran sanat. Çocukluğundan beri içinde taşıdığı bu ikilik, onu ne tam olarak ait kılar ne de bütünüyle özgür bırakır. Tonio’nun kalbinde iz bırakan ilk dostluklar ve ilk hayranlıklar, yıllar geçse de silinmez. Çünkü bazen insan, en çok “normal” olanı özler; ama ona yaklaşınca da nefes alamaz.

New York, una festa a Brooklyn in un'afosa notte d'estate, un blackout: mentre l'intera città piomba nel buio e nel caos, un'energia diversa comincia a brillare… Un primo incontro. L'amicizia di una vita. Ex fidanzati. E forse l'inizio di qualcosa di nuovo. Quando si spengono le luci, le persone rivelano le loro verità nascoste. Nascono nuovi amori, alcune amicizie si trasformano in qualcos'altro, e nuove possibilità si spalancano davanti a noi.

Con gli occhi chiusi, il mondo appare diverso: minuscoli umanoidi escono dalle loro tane, a bordo di inquietanti giocattoli, riappropriandosi delle stanze che sono state loro negate; misteriosi esseri mutanti rivelano antichi segreti in lingue sconosciute; le ossessioni e i deliri dei folli diventano indistinguibili dalle lucide ragioni degli assennati; il reale e l’indicibile si fondono l’uno nell’altro.

When John Durbeyfield discovers a family connection to the ancient Norman family, the D'Urbervilles, the fate of daughter Tess is transformed. Sent by her ambitious parents to visit her wealthy D'Urberville cousins, Tess attracts the attention of the unscrupulous Alec. Seduced and discarded by him and alone in the world, she finds work as a milkmaid and the love of Angel Clare. Yet his love cannot accept the truth about Tess's past.

When peddler John Durbeyfield learns that he may be a descendant of a noble family, he sends his oldest child, Tess, to “claim kin.” Blindly ushered into harm’s way, the strong-willed yet untinctured peasant girl is not prepared for the blighted course her life will take. Nor for those whose destructive desires will determine her fate, and force Tess to make only the most desperate of choices. From her tragic loss of innocence through betrayal and revenge, Tess’s struggle for survival challenged the era’s mores and the cruel indifference shown women in Victorian society. 

From its astonishing opening scene, in which the drunken Michael Henchard sells his wife and daughter at a country fair, to the breathtaking series of discoveries at its conclusion, The Mayor of Casterbridge claims a unique place among Thomas Hardy's finest and most powerful novels. Rooted in an...

The Graveyard Poets, also known as 'Churchyard Poets' or 'the Boneyard Boys' began in pre-Romantic days with a leaning towards gloom, melancholy and the general decay of churchyards. It should be remembered that in the 18th century city graveyards were a teeming mass of overcrowding and disease, their country brethren better but hardly idylls of worship. What would eventually lead to the Gothic literary genre began, in the main, with reflections by Christian clergymen upon God, mortality and the assumed afterlife.

L'autore di "Angelo guarda il passato", che è stato indicato dalla critica in modo contraddittorio a volte come genio ("Genius" fra l'altro è il titolo dell'ultimo film che descrive la sua vita) e a volte come scrittore fallito, specie se paragonato al suo contemporaneo Faulkner, scrive questi racconti in modo lirico, sregolato, come se fosse la scrittura a travolgere lui stesso e non lui a padroneggiarla col mestiere del letterato.
