Story
Was ist Heimat und wie lässt man die Provinz hinter sich, davon erzählt Sabine Rennefanz voller Ironie und Melancholie. Kathleen hat es geschafft. Sie ist erfolgreich, redegewandt, attraktiv. Seit Jahren lebt sie als Grafikerin in London. Woher sie kommt, hat sie hinter sich gelassen. Zumindest glaubt sie das. Doch die Besuche bei ihrer Mutter im brandenburgischen Kosakenberg konfrontieren sie mit einer Welt, der sie in den neunziger Jahren zu entkommen versuchte und die nun eine ungeahnte Kraft entfaltet.

When X - an iconoclastic artist, writer and polarizing shape-shifter - dies suddenly, her widow, wild with grief, hurls herself into writing a biography of the woman she deified.

Story
Angelo Galassi aveva approfittato al volo di un errore burocratico che lo dichiarava deceduto, facendo perdere le sue tracce così bene che ormai tutti lo consideravano morto: i suoi genitori, il suo agente, il suo pubblico adorante. Il grande cantautore, l'idolo delle folle, era in realtà un uomo tormentato e depresso, che aveva sperato di riuscire a sfuggire a sé stesso e ai suoi problemi nascondendosi tra i grattacieli di New York.

Story
Audiokniha obsahuje povídky: Pouť krkonošská, Máj, Marinka a další, výběr připravil a pro vydání sestavil Jiří Schwarz. Koncem léta roku 1833 vykonal Karel Hynek Mácha se svým přítelem Eduardem Hindlem pěší pouť z Prahy na Sněžku. V Pouti krkonošské spojuje líčení cesty s příběhem osobního hledání a vnitřní proměny. Ústřední postavou je osamělý mladý poutník, který v próze vystupuje jako jakýsi symbol hledání smyslu života a smrti a do kterého Mácha stylizoval sám sebe.

'To play the country-game, we have to choose a country. Everybody wants to be the USA and Britain and Canada and Australia and Switzerland and them. Nobody wants to be rags of countries like Congo, like Somalia, like Iraq, like Sudan, like Haiti and not even this one we live in – who wants to be a terrible place of hunger and things falling apart?' Darling and her friends live in a shanty called Paradise, which of course is no such thing. It isn’t all bad, though. There’s mischief and adventure, games of Find bin Laden, stealing guavas, singing Lady Gaga at the tops of their voices.

Story
Mulheres abandonadas. Desde sempre, a literatura é permeada de histórias trágicas de figuras fascinantes, como Medeia e Dido, que se desfazem diante do abandono masculino. Emma Bovary e Anna Kariênina, personagens inesquecíveis, também sucumbem. A mesma Simone de Beauvoir de O segundo sexo escreveu A mulher desiludida, antologia de contos sobre personagens despedaçadas, uma delas por essa mesma via. No século xxi, Elena Ferrante atualiza a tradição, criando personagens que definham ou enlouquecem depois de dispensadas — é o caso de Olga, em Dias de abandono, que se vê confrontada com novas questões: Como pode uma mulher padecer "de amor" nos anos 2000?

Acorralados por la pobreza, el tedio y la desesperanza, los adolescentes de la cuadra no tenían otra alternativa que la violencia: para ser alguien debían empuñar un arma, sin importarles que a la vuelta los esperara, inevitablemente, la muerte.

King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.
