Horace Rumpole, the irrepressible barrister fuelled by cigars, Tennyson, steak-and-kidney pud and the cooking claret from Pommeroy's wine bar, is back for further misadventures. Amid an unfortunate and temporary downturn in London crime, the Old Bailey Hack sits in Chambers (he never writes at home for fear of She Who Must Be Obeyed) and picks up his pen to recount six classic tales of his recent trials. Here he deals with, among others, a clergyman on a shoplifting rampage, a backstage theatrical murder, a villain with unfortunate sartorial taste and, worst of all, the possibility that he may have to hang up his wig and retire.

Helen Grant is a mystery to her daughter. An extrovert with few friends who has sought intimacy in the wrong places; a twice-divorced mother-of-two now living alone surrounded by her memories, Helen (known to her acquaintances as 'Hen') has always haunted Bridget. Now, Bridget is an academic in her forties. She sees Helen once a year, and considers the problem to be contained. As she looks back on their tumultuous relationship - the performances and small deceptions - she tries to reckon with the cruelties inflicted on both sides. But when Helen makes it clear that she wants more, it seems an old struggle will have to be replayed. From the prize-winning author of First Love, My Phantoms is a bold, heart-stopping portrayal of a failed familial bond, which brings humour, subtlety and new life to the difficult terrain of mothers and daughters.

Diese Erinnerungen eines Europäers zeigen noch einmal die Gelöstheit und Heiterkeit Wiens und Österreichs in den Jahren vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg, die Welt der Sicherheit, die Stefan Zweig selbst wie einigen, wenn auch nicht allen, die individuelle Freiheit zu garantieren vermochte; sie zeigen Glanz und Schatten über Europa bis zum Sonnenuntergang, bis zu Hitlers Machtausübung, bis Europa »sich zum zweiten Mal selbstmörderisch zerfleischte im Bruderkriege«. Stefan Zweig hat »die Welt von Gestern« als Zeitzeuge aufgezeichnet und dabei nicht so sehr sein eigenes Schicksal festgehalten, sondern das seiner Generation; er hat mit diesem Buch, weit über das Persönliche hinaus, ein Kompendium der geistigen Welt in der ersten Hälfte unseres Jahrhunderts erstellt.

Aquest text teatral posa veu a l oblit mitjancant diferents personatges. Veus que s uneixen en un corper entonar un cant a la memoria histórica, a la seua história que és la nostra.

Contes insolits o anodins amb personatges dissortats, de vegades, covards, gairebe sempre. O agosarats, de vegades. Personatges que arrosseguen renúncies i drames, tot i que alguns poden resultar ridiculs, divertits o extravagants. En ocasions, l’absurd els persegueix. La sorpresa els desperta. La realitat els ofega. Reaccionen com poden, fugint o restant immobils. No saben qui son, o es coneixen massa be. Estan vius, en aquest mon o en qualsevol altre.

A partir du mois de septembre l'année dernière, je n'ai plus rien fait d'autre qu'attendre un homme : qu'il me téléphone et qu'il vienne chez moi". Annie Ernaux.

Si je réécrivais un peu l'histoire, je tairais les policiers devenus des vautours, la jeunesse égarée, le gouvernement appelant les terroristes au cessez-le-feu, les enfants qui ne jouent plus parce que les reves les ont quittes trop vite.Je passerais sous silence mon grand-pere a la tete vide, l'herbe dessechee par le soleil, les fourmis rouges devoreuses de peau, les douches prises a minuit lorsqu'un peu d'eau coulait enfin du robinet.Je feindrais le bonheur de vivre desormais dans une ville etrangere, loin des amis d'enfance et de la lumiere enveloppante d'Alger. J'oublierais les coups de fil incessants de ma mere qui se desespere de me savoir celibataire a trente ans.Resterait la perspective de revenir en Algerie avec l'image detestable des gens qui quittent leur pays sans remords pour vivre la-bas.Nee en 1986 a Alger, Kaouther Adimi vit et travaille a Paris. Son premier roman, L'Envers des autres (Actes Sud, 2011) est d'abord paru en Algerie aux editions Barzakh et a obtenu le prix de la Vocation.

Febbraio 2020: mentre i media diffondono le prime voci ancora confuse su un virus che sta mietendo vittime in Cina e sembra essere arrivato anche in Italia, la Questura di Milano si trova di fronte a un macabro ritrovamento e all'ipotesi di un killer seriale che si accanisce contro le donne, seminando indizi indecifrabili. Le indagini sono affidate al commissario Mario Mandelli dell'Unita di Analisi del Crimine Violento, un cinquantacinquenne solido, vecchia volpe del mestiere, innamorato dell'efficientissima moglie Isa e appassionato di storia. Al suo fianco l'ispettore Antonio Casalegno, affascinante e donnaiolo, talvolta fin troppo impulsivo e spregiudicato, perfettamente complementare al suo capo. Ci sara bisogno di tutto il loro intuito, della loro competenza e della collaborazione di tutta la squadra investigativa anatomopatologi e smanettoni informatici, ma anche una giunonica agente con un passato da atleta per risolvere rapidamente il caso prima che il virus dilaghi e blocchi le ricerche. A complicare le cose interviene un altro crimine che scuote la citta, l'omicidio di un noto gioielliere durante una rapina. In un'atmosfera da assedio, le indagini si concentrano in otto giornate tesissime fra colpi di scena e percorsi umani e sentimentali che si intrecciano, trasformandosi in una crudele sfida in cui ognuno mettera a rischio la propria esistenza e i propri affetti. Vincerla significhera dimostrare a se stessi e al mondo che vale la pena lottare fino all'ultimo respiro, per sentirsi ancora vivi.
