65 Jahre in der Schublade - heute ein Bestseller'Der Uberlaufer' ist Siegfried Lenz' zweiter Roman, geschrieben 1951. Obgleich vollendet und vom Autor mehrfach uberarbeitet, blieb er bis 2016 unveroffentlicht. Zur Zeit seiner Entstehung wurde er vom Verlag aus politischen Grunden abgelehnt. Ein Uberlaufer zu den Sowjets als Romanheld war im Kalten Krieg nicht opportun. Eine groartige Entdeckung, ein beeindruckender Roman uber den ewigen Konflikt zwischen Pflicht und Gewissen.

THE MIND-BENDING CULT CLASSIC ABOUT A HOUSE THATS LARGER ON THE INSIDE THAN ON THE OUTSIDE A masterpiece of horror and an astonishingly immersive, maze-like reading experience that redefines the boundaries of a novel.

Libro vincitore del Premio Strega 2025 Libro vincitore del Premio Strega Giovani 2025Lanniversario e prima di tutto un romanzo di liberazione, che scardina e smaschera il totalitarismo della famiglia. Ci ferisce con la sua onesta, ci disarma con il suo candore, ci mette a nudo con la sua verita. È lo schiaffo ricevuto appena nati: grazie a quel dolore respiriamo.Dieci anni fa, quel giorno, ho visto i miei genitori per lultima volta. Da allora ho cambiato numero di telefono, casa, continente, ho tirato su un muro inespugnabile, ho messo un oceano di mezzo. Sono stati i dieci anni migliori della mia vita. Si possono abbandonare il proprio padre e la propria madre? Si puo sbattere la porta, scendere le scale e decidere che non li si vedra piu? Mettere in discussione lorigine, sfuggire alla sua stretta? Dopo dieci anni sottratti al logoramento di una violenza sottile e pervasiva tra le mura di casa, finalmente un figlio puo voltarsi e narrare la sua disgraziata famiglia e il tabu di questa censura con la forza brutale del romanzo. E celebrare cosi un lacerante anniversario: senza accusare e senza salvare, con una voce scandalosamente calma, come scrive Emmanuel Carrere a rimarcarne la potenza implacabile. Il racconto che ne deriva e il ritratto struggente e lucidissimo di una donna a perdere, che ha rinunciato a tutto pur di essere qualcosa agli occhi del marito, mentre lui tiene lei e i figli dentro un regime in cui possesso e richiesta damore sono i lacci di un unico nodo. Lisolamento stagno a cui li costringe viene infranto a tratti dagli squilli di un apparecchio telefonico mal tollerato, da qualche sporadico compagno di scuola, da unamica della madre che viene presto bandita. In questo microcosmo concentrazionario, a poco a poco si innesta nel figlio, e nei lettori, un desiderio insopprimibile di rinascita essere se stessi, vivere la propria vita, aprirsi agli altri senza il terrore delle ritorsioni. Con la certezza che, per mettersi in salvo, da li niente puo essere salvato.Proposto da Emanuele Trevi al Premio Strega 2025 con la seguente motivazione:È una storia eccezionale, quella di Bajani, che infrange un vero e proprio tabu: nelle prime pagine del libro incontriamo il protagonista che ci racconta dellultima volta che ha visto i suoi genitori, prima di voltare le spalle per sempre alla sua famiglia, disgregata dalla violenza del padre-padrone e dalla muta, disperata sottomissione della madre. Per delineare unimmagine credibile di questo inferno domestico e della fuga senza ritorno del protagonista, il narratore ricorre alle risorse del romanzo per mettere ordine nei dati dellesperienza, spiccando quel salto mortale capace di condurlo dallinformita del reale alla consistenza e alla leggibilita del vero. Ed e solo cosi che una vicenda singola si trasforma in uno specchio in cui tutti i lettori possono intravedere qualcosa che non conoscevano direttamente, eppure li riguarda. Lanniversario e un romanzo avvincente e originalissimo, che colpisce chi legge come un pugno nella testa e nella pancia. Bajani non sente il bisogno ne di condannare, ne di perdonare, e ci racconta quanto sia impervia e necessaria la via del riscatto.

Waldo is ravenous. Horny. Blunt. Naive. Wise. Impulsive. Lonely. Angry. Hurting. Endlessly wanting. And the thing she wants most of all? Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher.Mr Korgy, with the wife and the kid and the mortgage and the bills, with the dead dreams and the atrophied looks and the growing paunch. She doesnt know why she wants him. Is it his passion? His life experience? The fact that he knows books and films that she doesnt? Or are they actually kindred spirits, sharing the same filter with which they each take in the world around them? Or, perhaps, its just enough that he sees her when no one else does.Startlingly perceptive, mordantly funny, and keenly poignant, Half His Age is an incisive study of a yearning seventeen-year-old who disregards all obstacles in her effort to be seen, to be desired and to be loved.

The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn...The Picture of Dorian Gray is a philosophical novel by the writer Oscar Wilde, first published complete in the July 1890 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine.Dorian Gray is the subject of a full-length portrait in oil by Basil Hallward, an artist who is impressed and infatuated by Dorian's beauty; he believes that Dorians beauty is responsible for the new mode in his art as a painter. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, and he soon is enthralled by the aristocrat's hedonistic worldview: that beauty and sensual fulfilment are the only things worth pursuing in life. Newly understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade. The wish is granted, and Dorian pursues a libertine life of varied and amoral experiences; all the while his portrait ages and records every soul-corrupting sin.

A poesía de Rosalía de Castro agroma nun triángulo de furias: a reivindicación das mulleres; a meniña gaiteira que tatexa palabras inaugurais dunha nación non prevista; e a ira contra a precariedade, a compaixon polas persoas inocentes e tristes, a certeza da vulnerabilidade. Nese triangulo de furias afirmase a Rosalia feminista. Dalle voz a moza, a violada, a solteira, a vella, a nai obrigada a deixar o fillo so, as mulleres confinadas entre o amor romantico e unha idea estreita de familia. Avisa dos perigos do gaiteiro da festa, do emigrante que non ha volver, da violencia do poder. Defende a xustiza pola man. E crea a viºva de vivo: esa muller soa, sen rostro, sen amor e tamen sen amo que resolve, como unha Penelope navegante, deixar de agardar.

The Thought Police, Doublethink, Newspeak, Big Brother 1984 itself: these terms and concepts have moved from the world of fiction into our everyday lives. They are central to our thinking about freedom and its suppression; yet they were newly created by George Orwell in 1949 as he conjured his dystopian vision of a world where totalitarian power is absolute. In this novel, continuously popular since its first publication, readers can explore the dark and extraordinary world he brought so fully to life. The principal characters who lead us through that world are ordinary human beings like ourselves: Winston Smith and Julia, whose falling in love is also an act of rebellion against the Party. Opposing them are the massed powers of the state, which watches its citizens on all sides through technology now only too familiar to us. No-one is free from surveillance; the past is constantly altered, so that there is no truth except the most recent version; and Big Brother, both loved and feared, controls all. Even the simple act of keeping a diary as Winston does is punishable by death. In Winstons battle to keep his freedom of thought, he has a powerful adversary in OBrien, who uses fear and pain to enter his very thought processes. Does 2+2 = 4? Or is it 5? We find out in Room 101. Nineteen Eighty-Four was Orwells last novel; but the world he created is always with us, as successive generations of readers find within it a mirror for their own times and a warning for the future.

Conceived from a nightmare, Frankenstein, is the deeply disturbing story of a monstrous creation which has terrified and chilled readers since its first publication in 1818. The novel has thus seared its way into the popular imagination while establishing itself as one of the pioneering works of modern science fiction.
