From there, he experiences the gritty nightmare of life on the streets, running from the infected and those hunting them, until he ends up in the Crank Palace, the last dumping ground of those without hope.

Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherines father. After Mr Earnshaws death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherines brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.

This is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family's history that began before he was born. It tells of Vietnam, of the lasting impact of war, and of his family's struggle to forge a new future. And it serves as a doorway into parts of Little Dog's life his mother has never known - episodes of bewilderment, fear and passion - all the while moving closer to an unforgettable revelation.

Holly Gibney of the Finders Keepers detective agency is working on the case of a missing dog - and on her own need to be more assertive - when she sees the footage on TV. But when she tunes in again, to the late-night report, she realises there is something not quite right about the correspondent who was first on the scene. So begins 'If It Bleeds', a stand-alone sequel to the No. 1 bestselling THE OUTSIDER featuring the incomparable Holly on her first solo case - and also the riveting title story in Stephen King's brilliant new collection. Dancing alongside are three more wonderful long stories from this 'formidably versatile author' (The Sunday Times) - 'Mr Harrigan's Phone', 'The Life of Chuck' and 'Rat'. All four display the richness of King's storytelling with grace, humour, horror and breathtaking suspense. A fascinating Author's Note gives us a wonderful insight into the origin of each story and the writer's unparalleled imagination.

Un momento tragico della storia d'Europa, sullo sfondo del salazarismo portoghese, del fascismo italiano e della guerra civile spagnola, nel racconto di Pereira, un testimone preciso che rievoca il mese cruciale della sua vita. Chi raccoglie la testimonianza di Pereira, redatta con la logica stringente dei capitoli del romanzo, impeccabilmente aperti e chiusi dalla formula da verbale che ne costituisce il titolo: Sostiene Pereira? Questo non e detto, ma Pereira, un vecchio giornalista responsabile della pagina culturale del "Lisboa" (mediocre giornale del pomeriggio) affascina il lettore per le sue contraddizioni e per il suo modo di "non" essere un eroe.

El preludi és una obra magna que William Wordsworth, el poeta més longeu i més important del Romanticisme anglès, va anar escrivint i reescrivint durant gairebé cinquanta anys com a tribut al seu germa espiritual, el poeta Samuel Taylor Coleridge, que va dir d'ell que «per la força de la seva imaginació, Wordsworth es troba més a prop de Shakespeare i de Milton que cap altre escriptor modern». Aquest llarg poema unitari és una autèntica aventura de la memòria i del pensament en què el vers s'activa a partir del record de les accions més íntimes i humils, i com aquestes es connecten amb la potència sagrada de la divinitat. El preludi és també un cant d'amor a la natura, que es descriu com una entitat totpoderosa que acompanya el geni creador quan aquest sap aprofitar els poders que el món li atorga. Es tracta també d'una oda d'exaltació de la passió, de la llibertat i de la gran meravella d'existir. El preludi va ser el pinyol primordial que acabaria inspirant un joveníssim Marcel Proust a l'hora d'escriure A la recerca del temps perdut i ara arriba, per primer cop, traduït de forma completa en llengua catalana.
