An Appendix to George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Despite its optimistic title, Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well has often been considered a "problem play." Ostensibly a comedy, the play also has fairy tale elements, as it focuses on Helena, a virtuous orphan, who loves Bertram, the haughty son of her protectress, the Countess of Rousillon. When Bertram, desperate for adventure, leaves Rousillon to serve in the King's army, Helena pursues him. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)

Tra le 9 e le 12 (ma altre fonti riportano tra le 10,30 e le 13) del 13 agosto 2007 e, con maggiore probabilità, tra le 11 e le 11,30 del 13 agosto 2007, la ventiseienne Chiara Poggi viene uccisa nella villa dei suoi genitori, a Garlasco, nel Pavese.
Questo è senza dubbio l'unico dato certo della vicenda.
Il resto, davvero tutto il resto, inizia a confondersi e a intorbidirsi fin da subito, a farsi via via sempre più incerto, a contraddirsi, a dare dubbi, a non trovare risposte.

L'essenza dell'Abruzzo è declinata in questa novella nei suoi peculiari aspetti culturali. Lo sguardo attento e compiaciuto di Valerio Di Stefano ci accompagna attraverso le viuzze di un paesino dove la vita scorre ancora lenta, tra i profumi e i sapori di una terra "forte e gentile" come i suoi abitanti. "Lo schiaffatone" si differenzia completamente dalle precedenti narrazioni, mantenendo però il solito marchio di fabbrica: un'ironia inconfondibile e sottile che, in queste pagine, diventa bonaria ed empatica.

For kun halvanden hundrede år siden var mægtige område i det indre Afrika næsten ukendt for europæerne.

The text used here is a revision of Wycliffe's original translation, made by his follower John Purvey in the mid-1390s. Wycliffe's chapter ...
