Northanger Abbey fu il primo romanzo di Jane Austen ad essere pubblicato anche, se in precedenza erano già state stese delle versioni di Orgoglio e pregiudizio e di Ragione e Sentimento. Il suo titolo originario, Susan (nome della protagonista che fu poi mutato in Catherine) fu rivisto per la stampa dalla Austen nel 1803, e venduto ad un editore che decise poi di non pubblicarlo.

Brad's mostly been a loner, content with his job and his tiny apartment. He's never thought much about being part of something. He's never really thought about the bigger picture. Until he meets a beautiful (and possibly psychotic) girl named Dawn. Dawn leads Brad into a vicious world as hedonistically carnal as it is brutal, forcing Brad to decide if he's going to dig deep within himself and continue to resist the community he's remained apart from his entire life or embrace it and accept his new reality.

E se in una tiepida notte di luna piena vi capitasse di incontrare Satana? È questo quello che accade a due esimi letterati moscoviti e purtroppo per loro, l'incontro significherà dolore e morte.

Lo strano e pericolosissimo gruppetto si fermerà infatti alcuni giorni a Mosca, provocando catastrofi e sconvolgimenti a tutte le persone che avranno la sventura di incontrarli, ma darà vita anche a situazioni esilaranti al limite dell'assurdo, descritte con una straordinaria comicità.

Catherine Tilney had settled in for a quiet, respectable, distinctly non-Gothic English life in the countryside with her husband, the Reverend Henry Tilney. Unfortunately, a quiet, respectable, distinctly non-Gothic life had not settled itself for her. An original sequel to Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey, Nachtstürm Castle whisks the reader and its heroine away to the border countries in the Austrian Alps, where adventure, mistaken identities, lost heirs, and terrifying butlers lurk.

Anatole France (1844 – 1924), è stato uno scrittore francese, Premio Nobel per la letteratura nell'anno 1921. Nel 1896 iniziò a scrivere la Tetralogia della storia contemporanea, composto di quattro romanzi, di cui questo è il primo. I romanzi hanno per protagonista il signor Bergeret, modesto e disilluso, ma colto e arguto professore di un liceo di provincia, attraverso i cui occhi France descrive la società del suo tempo.

In questo terzo libro della Storia contemporanea, il signor Bergeret si riconcilia finalmente con la vita. Diventato professore titolare, acquisita la dolce compagnia di un cane, continua, fra riflessioni filosofiche e prese di posizioni politiche del tutto scomode riguardanti l’affare Dreyfus, ad accompagnarci nel viaggio di questa Francia in cui governi radicali e conservatori si alternano, e in cui l’antisemitismo viene considerato patriottico.

In questo quarto volume della tetralogia della Storia contemporanea, il signor Bergeret, promosso docente alla Sorbona, si trasferisce a Parigi con la sorella e la figlia Paolina. Con la sorella esplora il proprio passato, incontrato casualmente nella sua vecchia casa d’infanzia, sfitta e rovinata; con la figlia acquista una brillante ascoltatrice dei suoi discorsi filosofici, divenuti, finalmente, ottimisti.

Charlie Campbell was your average, balding, thirty-year-old alcoholic with a dead-end job and a penchant for shambling through life one mistake after another. However, none of that mattered following the sudden arrival of a mysterious sickness that brought with it infected mobs of zombie-like creatures thirsting for the flesh of the living. Trapped in a Chicago apartment the morning after a raucous bachelor party, Charlie and his old fraternity buddies must battle for survival against the cannibalistic horde, a military invasion and their own rampant stupidity.

In questo secondo volume della tetralogia della Storia contemporanea, che segue “L’olmo del Mail”, troviamo il signor Bergeret impegnato in discussioni politiche sulla corruzione dei funzionari della Repubblica e su questioni di morale cristiana e non, mentre, nella sua vita domestica (di cui il manichino di vimini è ingrato simbolo), egli acquisisce “l’inestimabile vantaggio di essere tradito”.Cornice musicale: A real slow rag, di Scott Joplin.

For adults. This is a silly little book for Halloweenie times. It’s kitschy, fun and weird humor. Of course, there is gore and violence. For me, it is a satire of our favorite Halloween slasher movies where the villain is a crazy, stalking, relentless, weirdo-killer, dangerous, a little silly and strange. And just won’t die!
