"Ultime lettere di Jacopo Ortis" è un romanzo di Ugo Foscolo, considerato il primo romanzo epistolare della letteratura italiana, nel quale sono raccolte le 67 lettere che il protagonista, Jacopo Ortis, mandò all'amico Lorenzo Alderani, che dopo il suicidio di Jacopo le avrebbe date alla stampa corredandole di una presentazione e di una conclusione. Vagamente ispirato ad un fatto reale, e al modello letterario de "I dolori del giovane Werther" di Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, l'opera risente molto dell'influsso di Vittorio Alfieri.

Warbreaker is the story of two sisters, who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, the lesser god who doesn’t like his job, and the immortal who’s still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago.

It was a time of crisis, a time of tragedy - and a time of transcendent courage and determination. Leon Uris’s blazing novel is set in the midst of the ghetto uprising that defied Nazi tyranny, as the Jews of Warsaw boldly met Wehrmacht tanks with homemade weapons and bare fists. Here, painted on a canvas as broad as its subject matter, is the compelling story of one of the most heroic struggles of modern times.

In the world of Warbreaker, each person is born endowed with the power of one Breath―which can be sold and collected by others, then used to Awaken objects and even corpses to do their bidding. A few individuals who die in glory return as gods, with the power of thousands of Breath, but no memory of their mortal lives―and are enthroned in the Court of Gods in Hallandren's capital. To Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris, the abuse of Breath and the claim of the Returned to be gods are repugnant blasphemy.

Alla Pensione Magnolia gli amici di un tempo salutano un ritorno inatteso, che sconvolge la quiete del gruppo con una misteriosa valigia che non può essere disfatta. La penna, solo apparentemente leggera, del romanziere descrive e immagina la vita del piccolo paese, incastonato fra la montagna e il lago. I suoi abitanti e le loro improbabili avventure assumono la forza e la statura delle grandi epopee degli eroi, tra sigarette e ricordi, parole e liquori, fantasmi e visioni di terre promesse.

There is now no doubt that not only is Waiting for Godot the outstanding play of the 20th century, but it is also Samuel Beckett's masterpiece. Yet it is both a popular text to be studied at school and an enigma. The scene is a country road. There is a solitary tree. It is evening. Two tramp-like figures, Vladimir and Estragon, exchange words. Pull off boots. Munch a root vegetable. Two other curious characters enter. And a boy. Time passes. It is all strange yet familiar.
