Michael Flynn is untouchable in a world of power, money and violence. He fights for what he wants and he takes it, whatever the cost. He learns the rules of the Life from the best and when his mentor, legendary Face Patrick Costello, is taken out, no one questions that Michael Flynn is his natural successor. For Michael, loyalty - and crime - pay.Michael Flynn rises to heights beyond anything the criminal underworld has seen. He owns everyone and he rules his empire with an even but fierce hand. No one would dare challenge him.Then the unthinkable happens.Perhaps Michael Flynn is not so untouchable after all, and he must learn that...

Aged thirteen, Theo Decker, son of a devoted mother and a reckless, largely absent father, survives an accident that otherwise tears his life apart. Alone and rudderless in New York, he is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. He is tormented by an unbearable longing for his mother, and down the years clings to the thing that most reminds him of her: a small, strangely captivating painting that ultimately draws him into the criminal underworld. As he grows up, Theo learns to glide between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love - and his talisman, the painting, places him at the centre of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle.The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling power. Combining unforgettably vivid characters and thrilling suspense, it is a beautiful, addictive triumph - a sweeping story of loss and obsession, of survival and self-invention, of the deepest mysteries of love, identity and fate.

Siamo in Sicilia, all'epoca del tramonto borbonico: e di scena una famiglia della piu alta aristocrazia isolana, colta nel momento rivelatore del trapasso di regime, mentre gia incalzano i tempi nuovi (dall'anno dell'impresa dei Mille di Garibaldi la storia si prolunga fino ai primordi del Novecento). Accentrato quasi interamente intorno a un solo personaggio, il principe Fabrizio Salina, il romanzo, lirico e critico insieme, ben poco concede all'intreccio e al romanzesco tanto cari alla narrativa dell'Ottocento. L'immagine della Sicilia che invece ci offre e un'immagine viva, animata da uno spirito alacre e modernissimo, ampiamente consapevole della problematica storica e politica contemporanea.

Lleida es desperta amb un crim que només serà el començament d'un malson. Un assassí en sèrie assetja els lleidatans? Anna Grimm, sergent dels Mossos d'Esquadra, haurà d'esclarir el misteri. Però l'A

The novel Beware of Pity, composed over a period of years and completed in 1938 (there are 11 extant volumes of notes and drafts that attest to Zweig's painstaking work on his only full-length novel) itself very pointedly has almost nothing to say about contemporary times, on the surface at least. It is the story of a young Austrian cavalry officer, Anton Hofmiller, who befriends a local millionaire, Kekesfalva, and his family, but in particular the old man's crippled daughter, Edith, with terrible consequences.

The final installment of Jeff VanderMeers Southern Reach TrilogyIt is winter in Area X. A new team embarks across the border on a mission to find a member of a previous expedition who may have been left behind. As they press deeper into the unknownnavigating new terrain and new challengesthe threat to the outside world becomes more daunting. In Acceptance, the last installment of Jeff VanderMeers Southern Reach Trilogy, the mysteries of Area X may have been solved, but their consequences and implications are no less profoundor terrifying.

Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is a lengthy narrative poem in four parts written by Lord Byron. It was published between 1812 and 1818 and is dedicated to "Ianthe". The poem describes the travels and reflections of a world-weary young man who, disillusioned with a life of pleasure and revelry, looks for distraction in foreign lands. In a wider sense, it is an expression of the melancholy and disillusionment felt by a generation weary of the wars of the post-Revolutionary and Napoleonic eras. The title comes from the term childe, a medieval title for a young man who was a candidate for knighthood. Canto IV describes Harold's travels in Italy.

Brandon Sanderson's epic Stormlight Archive continues with his #1 "New York Times" bestselling "Words of Radiance." Six years ago, the Assassin in White killed the Alethi king, and now he's murdering rulers all over Roshar; among his prime targets is Highprince Dalinar. Kaladin is in command of the royal bodyguards, a controversial post for his low status, and must protect the king and Dalinar, while secretly mastering remarkable new powers linked to his honorspren, Syl. Shallan bears the burden of preventing the return of the Voidbringers and the civilization-ending Desolation that follows. The Shattered Plains hold the answer, where the Parshendi are convinced by their war leader to risk everything on a desperate gamble with the very supernatural forces they once fled.

This book was shortlisted for the 2014 Costa Novel Awards. Nora Webster is the heartbreaking new novel from one of the greatest novelists writing today. It is the late 1960s in Ireland. Nora Webster is living in a small town, looking after her four children, trying to rebuild her life after the death of her husband. She is fiercely intelligent, at times difficult and impatient, at times kind, but she is trapped by her circumstances, and waiting for any chance which will lift her beyond them. Slowly, through the gift of music and the power of friendship, she finds a glimmer of hope and a way of starting again. As the dynamic of the family changes, she seems both fiercely self-possessed but also a figure of great moral ambiguity, making her one of the most memorable heroines in contemporary fiction. The portrait that is painted in the years that follow is harrowing, piercingly insightful, always tender and deeply true. Colm Toibin's Nora is a character as resonant as Anna Karenina or Madame Bovary and Nora Webster is a novel that illuminates our own lives in a way that is rare in literature. Its humanity and compassion forge an unforgettable reading experience. "A profoundly gifted world writer." (Sebastian Barry). Colm Toibin was born in Enniscorthy in 1955. He is the author of seven other novels including Blackwater Lightship, The Master and The Testament of Mary, all three of which were nominated for the Booker Prize, with The Master also winning the IMPAC Award, and Brooklyn, which won the Costa Novel Award. He has also published two collections of stories and many works of non-fiction. In 2014 Nora Webster was shortlisted for the Costa Novel Awards. He lives in Dublin.

A quindici anni, Mariam non e mai stata a Herat.Dalla sua kolba di legno in cima alla collina, osserva i minareti in lontananza e attende con ansia larrivo del giovedi, il giorno in cui il padre le fa visita e le parla di poeti e giardini meravigliosi, di razzi che atterrano sulla luna e dei film che proietta nel suo cinema. Mariam vorrebbe avere le ali per raggiungere la casa di Herat, dove il padre non la portera mai perche lei e una harami, una bastarda, e sarebbe unumiliazione per le sue tre mogli e i dieci figli legittimi ospitarla sotto lo stesso tetto. Vorrebbe anche andare a scuola, ma sarebbe inutile, le dice sua madre, come lucidare una sputacchiera. Lunica cosa che deve imparare e la sopportazione.Laila e nata a Kabul la notte della rivoluzione, nellaprile del 1978. Aveva solo due anni quando i suoi fratelli si sono arruolati nella jihad. Per questo, il giorno del funerale, le e difficile piangere.

Dallintreccio di due destini, una storia indimenticabile che ripercorre la Storia di un paese in cerca di pace, dove lamicizia e lamore sembrano ancora lunica salvezza.
