Septembre 2018. Victoire a passé un été paisible et se prépare à son accouchement dans la sérénité retrouvée. Mais alors que tous pensaient le calme définitivement revenu dans la région, une nouvelle jeune fille connaît un sort funeste. Parvenue miraculeusement à échapper à ses ravisseurs, elle a juste le temps de prononcer quelques mots énigmatiques avant de décéder des suites de ses blessures. Victoire, qui était au lycée avec la victime, apprend cette tragédie après avoir mis au monde une petite fille. Déjà éprouvée par un accouchement difficile qui aurait pu lui être fatal, cette nouvelle est un véritable choc.

In June 1993, a group of young guerilla filmmakers spent four weeks making Horror Movie, a notorious, disturbing art-house horror flick. The weird part? Only three of the film’s scenes were ever released to the public, but Horror Movie has nevertheless grown a rabid fanbase. Three decades later, Hollywood is pushing for a big budget reboot. The man who played “The Thin Kid” is the only surviving cast member. He remembers all too well the secrets buried within the original screenplay, the bizarre events of the filming, and the dangerous crossed lines on set that resulted in tragedy.

Perché Antoine Duris, stimato professore di storia dell'arte a Lione ed esperto di Modigliani, si è licenziato dall'oggi al domani, ha chiuso ogni contatto con il mondo e si è candidato come guardiano di sala al Musée d'Orsay? Che cosa nasconde la sua ostinata reticenza? È questo che si chiede Mathilde Mattel, la responsabile delle risorse umane che, tra qualche perplessità, lo ha assunto. Nessuno sembra riuscire nemmeno a intuire che cosa si celi in questo strano personaggio, che contempla per ore il ritratto di Jeanne Hébuterne, la musa di Modigliani dal tragico destino.

Портрет Дориана Грея — единственный роман Оскара Уайльда, опубликованный в 1890 году. Роман поднимает вопросы о природе человеческой души, ценности красоты и нравственных границах. Портрет Дориана Грея — это остроумное, но мрачное исследование конфликтов между внешней привлекательностью и внутренней порочностью, вызывающее размышления о последствиях стремления к бесконечным удовольствиям. Оскара Уайльда называют "принцем Парадоксов" — игру ума и невероятную отточенность мысли он доводил до совершенства в каждой из написанных им пьес.

Eu me lembro bem. Desde quando meu irmão era vestibulando, eu ouvia algumas expressões: "vai estudar, meu filho, assim você não passa!", ou "espera, mãe, já estudei muito hoje...". Na época, eu nem dava muita importância a isso, mas agora vestibular virou o enredo do meu romance, que é minha vida atual, mas não tão romântica assim, meus colegas de sala confirmam. A quadra do meu colégio, toda limpinha, vazia, fica lá, parada, como se me chamasse para eu ir lá, chamar meus amigos e jogar aquela pelada, tanto adorada por nós, garotos.

Navigating the ins and outs of an absent father and a traumatized mother, and marked by choices made around religious zealots, drug addicted family, and growing up with his gay siblings in suburbia. We discover that as we grow, we become collectors of memories, keeping the ones that matter and throwing out the ones that don’t.

Quando arriverà il raccolto, in gennaio, sarà troppo tardi. Tutti avranno saputo, quelli che siedono a tavola con lei, parlando della mietitura e della fiera del bestiame. Per ora, Nefer cova in sé il suo segreto, che si espande lento dentro di lei, come un fungo nero che si gonfia fino alla gola. Le si leggerà negli occhi, il suo seme triste che cresce senza pietà? «Sei ridotta pelle e ossa» le dice sua madre. E lei, logorata dalla nausea, ma ancora di più dalla paura e dalla vergogna, si contrae, desiderosa solo di sparire.

Martin Amis first tackled the Holocaust in 1991 with his bestselling novel Time's Arrow. He returns again to the Shoah with this astonishing portrayal of life in "the zone of interest," or "kat zet"—the Nazis' euphemism for Auschwitz. The narrative rotates among three main characters: Paul Doll, the crass, drunken camp commandant; Thomsen, nephew of Hitler's private secretary, in love with Doll's wife; and Szmul, one of the Jewish prisoners charged with disposing of the bodies.

Each of the Milanis—even their aloof Persian cat Pari—has something to hide, but the looming scrutiny of fame also threatens to bring the family closer than ever.

Орхан Памук – известный турецкий писатель, обладатель многочисленных национальных и международных премий, в числе которых Нобелевская премия по литературе за "поиск души своего меланхолического города". Душа города всегда обретается в его прошлом, возможно, поэтому талант Памука так блестяще проявляется в исторических романах, таких как «Имя мне – Красный» и Белая крепость.

C'è chi lo definisce una start-up, chi una pop-up. Chi sottolinea il suo essere bio e local, "un po' come Uber e un po' come Airbnb". Si professa anticapitalista, intersezionalista, ecologista. È il Birnam Wood, un collettivo di orticoltori militanti neozelandesi che svolgono azioni di guerrilla gardening, coltivando abusivamente appezzamenti altrui perché la terra è di chi la lavora.

I ragazzi di sessant'anni sono i protagonisti, anzi il protagonista di questo romanzo, dato che nel libro "I ragazzi di sessant'anni" è un nome proprio, quello del marito di Stefania: un plurale singolare di grande potenza simbolica. I ragazzi di sessant'anni hanno una moglie, due figli, un buon lavoro e sempre meno amici. Hanno vecchi, inquieti amori che non smettono di parlargli in testa. Vestono marchi per giovani, si tengono in forma con una palestrina casalinga e litigano con i ragazzi di ottant'anni, che non mollano e "scartavetrano e martellano e raschiano e grattano e scrostano e trapanano e stuccano".

This is Jon Fosse’s critically acclaimed, luminous love story about Asle and Alida, two lovers trying to find their place in this world. Homeless and sleepless, they wander around Bergen in the rain, trying to make a life for themselves and the child they expect. Through a rich web of historical, cultural, and theological allusions, Fosse constructs a modern parable of injustice, resistance, crime, and redemption.

This is the story of a salmon whose silver scales mark him out as different – who dares to leap beyond his fate. It's a story about growing up, and about aching and ardent love. For swimming upstream means pursuing something the salmon cannot see: a dream. Translated for the first time into English, The Salmon Who Dared To Leap Higher is a wise, tender and inspiring modern fable about finding freedom and a harmony with nature we have either forgotten or lost in the binding realities of life.
