Uno scandalo nella Sicilia del 1901. L'avvocato Matteo Teresi scopre che nel suo paese esiste una setta segretissima. Composta da preti e da alcuni notabili, la "setta degli angeli" organizzava esercizi spirituali per vergini devote o giovani donne in procinto di maritarsi per prepararle alla vita coniugale. Gli esercizi, che si svolgevano in sacrestia nelle ore in cui le chiese erano chiuse ai fedeli, dovevano portare le ragazze "alla comunicazione con la grazia divina e all'elevazione a gradi sublimi di perfezione".

The new novel from the author of Beloved The past has a hold like no other...Sweetness wants to love her child, Bride, but she struggles to love her as a mother should. Bride, now glamorous, grown up, ebony-black and panther-like, wants to love her man, Booker, but she finds herself betrayed by a moment in her past, a moment borne of a desperate burn for the love of her mother. Booker cannot fathom Bride's depths, with his own love-lorn past bending him out of shape. Can they find a way through the damage wrought on their blameless childhood souls, to light and happiness, free from pain? Toni Morrison's fierce and provocative new novel exposes the damage adults wreak on children, and how this echoes through the generations.

LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE FOR FICTION 2016 Placing itself perfectly alongside acclaimed work by Philipp Meyer, Jane Smiley and J M Coetzee, this debut novel charts the story of Roscoe T Martin in rural Alabama in the 1920s. Roscoe has set his sights on a new type of power spreading at the start of the 20th century: electricity. It becomes his training, his life's work. But when his wife Marie inherits her father's failing farm, Roscoe has to give it up, with great cost to his pride and sense of self, his marriage and his family. Realising that he might lose them all, he uses his skills as an electrician to siphon energy from the state, ushering in a period of bounty and happiness on a farm recently falling to ruin. Even the love of Marie and their son seems back within Roscoe's grasp. Then everything changes. A young man is electrocuted on their land. Roscoe is arrested for manslaughter and - no longer an electrician or even a farmer - he must now carve out a place in a violent new world.

He''s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily, but Ryle''s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his no dating rule, she cant help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan her first love and a link to the past she left behind.

When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.With this bold and deeply personal novel, It Ends With Us is a heart-wrenching story and an unforgettable tale of love that comes at the ultimate price.

From John Banville, one of the world''s greatest writers, comes The Blue Guitar, a story of theft and the betrayal of friendship.Adultery is always put in terms of thieving. But we were happy together, simply happy.Oliver Orme used to be a painter, well known and well rewarded, but the muse has deserted him. He is also, as he confesses, a petty thief; he does not steal for gain, but for the thrill of it. HIs worst theft is Polly, the wife of his friend Marcus, with whom he has had an affair. When the affair is discovered, Oliver hides himself away in his childhood home. From here he tells the story of a year, from one autumn to the next. Many surprises and shocks await him, and by the end of his story, he will be forced to face himself and seek a road towards redemption.

Der satirische Ritterroman Don Quijote von Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra bildet den fruhen Hohepunkt der spanischen Literatur und gilt als der erste moderne Roman uberhaupt.Das mehrschichtige Werk erzahlt ein kunstvoll verflochtenes Epos um den armen Adligen Alonso Quijano, der sich nach der Lekture zahlreicher Ritterromane als Ritter und Retter von Witwen und Waisen sieht. Mit einer Barbiersschussel als Helm, einer klapprigen Mahre und begleitet von seinem (im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes) bauernschlauen Knappen Sancho Panza, zieht er ins Abenteuer. Aufgerieben zwischen seiner fantasierten Liebe zur wunderschonen Dulcinea, im Kampf mit Windmuhlen, die er f,r Riesen h?lt und genarrt durch seine Mitmenschen, stellt er den unerschutterlichen Optimisten dar, der immer wieder an der Realitat scheitern muss. Oder wei Don Quijote um seinen Wahn und kann er nur so die Realitat ertragen?Cervantes, der Spross eines verarmten Landadligen und zeit seines Lebens in prekaren Situationen lebend ñ unter anderem in der Armee, in Sklaverei und im Gefangnis - schuf ein einzigartiges Meisterwerk, das bis heute an Einfallsreichtum in Inhalt und Sprache unerreicht ist.

Here are the moments that our fairy tales forgot or deliberately concealed, reimagined by one of the most gifted storytellers of his generation, the Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Hours, and exquisitely illustrated by Yuko Shimizu. Rarely have our bedtime stories been this dark, this perverse, or this true. The Beast stands ahead of you in line at the convenience store, buying smokes and a Slim Jim, his devouring smile aimed at the cashier. A malformed little man with a knack for minor acts of wizardry goes to disastrous lengths to procure a child. A loutish and lazy Jack prefers living in his mother's basement to getting a job, until the day he trades a cow for a handful of magic beans. In A Wild Swan and Other Tales, the people and the talismans of lands far, far away - the mythic figures of our childhoods and the source of so much of our wonder - are transformed by Michael Cunningham into stories of sublime revelation

With an Introduction by Dr Richard Serjeantson, Trinity College, Cambridge Since its first publication in 1651, Thomas Hobbes''s Leviathan has been recognised as one of the most compelling, and most controversial, works of political philosophy written in English. Forged in the crucible of the civil and religious warfare of the mid-seventeenth century, it proposes a political theory that combines an unequivocal commitment to natural human liberty with the conviction that the sovereign power of government must be exercised absolutely. Leviathan begins from some shockingly naturalistic starting-points: an analysis of human nature as being motivated by vain-glory and pride, and a vision of religion as simply the fear of invisible powers made up by the mind. Yet from these deliberately unpromising elements, Hobbes constructs with unparalleled forcefulness an elaborate, systematic, and comprehensive account of how political society ought to be: ordered, law-bound, peaceful. In Leviathan, Hobbes presents us with a portrait of politics which depicts how a state that is made up of the unified body of all its citizens will be powerful, fruitful, protective of each of its members, and - above all - free from internal violence.
