When the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, separated from his wife and daughter forever, he decides to hide on nearby Jackson Island until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck Finn has faked his own death to escape his violent father, recently returned to town. As all readers of American literature know, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and too-often-unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond.While many narrative set pieces of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remain in place (floods and storms, stumbling across both unexpected death and unexpected treasure in the myriad stopping points along the rivers banks, encountering the scam artists posing as the Duke and Dauphin), Jims agency, intelligence and compassion are shown in a radically new light.

Unha historia cunha atmosfera densa e inquietante, onde as fronteiras entre o cotian e o imaxinario se cruzan e mesturan ata facer imposible distinguir que e real e que lenda. Pedro Feijoo mergullanos nunha historia de violencia ancestral, silencios familiares e identidades ocultas. Un thriller apaixonante que explora os recunchos mais escuros da natureza humana, onde todos gardamos os nosos segredos e nada e o que parece. Ou, se cadra, si.

Passo dopo passo, pero, anche se stanco, amareggiato, arrabbiato, Rocco Schiavone continua a guardare il mondo con gli occhi socchiusi, a indignarsi, a tenere insieme il cuore e il cervello, la memoria e il futuro.Nel nuovo giallo di Antonio Manzini, il suo vicequestore deve vedersela con una rapina, un cadavere in un laghetto, un chimico sparito e soprattutto con il Natale (che detesta). Ma sul fronte sentimentale arriva una storia appassionata. - Severino Colombo, La LetturaAd Aosta e quasi Natale. Una stagione difficile, per Rocco Schiavone, e non solo per lui. Un periodo dellanno che da sempre con le sue usanze svetta nella nota classifica affissa in Questura. Tutto sembra andare male. Ovunque nelle strade si esibiscono cori di dilettanti che cantano in ogni momento della giornata. La citta e preda di lucine a intermittenza, della puzza di fritto, dellagitazione dovuta allacquisto compulsivo. Lampeggiano vetrine e finestre, auto e antifurti.

Una rapina finisce nel peggiore dei modi possibili, coprendo Rocco di ridicolo, fin sui giornali. Un cadavere senza nome viene ritrovato in un lago, incatenato a 150 chili di pesi.

Siamo nel '49, Bordelli e entrato in Pubblica Sicurezza da due anni, e vice commissario in prova. Non ha ancora l'automobile e si muove in bicicletta. Sta comprando l'appartamento di via del Leone, con l'aiuto dei genitori e di un prestito bancario. Ha trentanove anni, e la memoria colma di ricordi di una guerra sanguinosa, dalla quale e tornato con un cane lupo grande come un vitello, un cane delle SS che lui ha trovato ferito e che ha salvato: Blisk. Durante un controllo in una casa di tolleranza, incarico che lui detesta, incontra una prostituta singolare, che nelle pause tra un cliente e l'altro lavora a maglia. Nasce subito una simpatia destinata a trasformarsi in amicizia. E il loro incontro, per puro caso, trascinera Bordelli in un'indagine complicata e pericolosa, che lo costringera a mettere in moto tutte le sue capacita. Tra una rilassante passeggiata nei cimiteri - dove verra scoperchiata una macabra vicenda - e il ricordo di una notte passata a raccontarsi storie, che dara il via alla tradizione delle cene della Confraternita del Chianti, conosciamo il giovane Bordelli, investigatore alle prime armi ma con un gran fiuto nel risolvere i casi piu intricati.

Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn's story near its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique's own in tragic and irreversible ways.The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a mesmerizing journey through the splendour of old Hollywood into the harsh realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it means and what it costs to face the truth.

Oliver Marks has just served ten years for the murder of one of his closest friends - a murder he may or may not have committed. On the day he''s released, he''s greeted by the detective who put him in prison. Detective Colborne is retiring, but before he does, he wants to know what really happened ten years ago. As a young actor studying Shakespeare at an elite arts conservatory, Oliver noticed that his talented classmates seem to play the same roles onstage and off - villain, hero, tyrant, temptress - though Oliver felt doomed to always be a secondary character in someone else''s story. But when the teachers change up the casting, a good-natured rivalry turns ugly, and the plays spill dangerously over into life. When tragedy strikes, one of the seven friends is found dead. The rest face their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, and themselves, that they are blameless.
