Story
Pubblicato nel 1922, questo “giallo” che fa parte della prolifica vena di Edgar Wallace dimostra, di fronte al lettore di oggi, tutta la sua età. Incoerenze, ingenuità, colpi di scena improbabili e sopra le righe, fino al surrealismo, che, però, fanno venire il dubbio (più che giustificato, se confrontato con le altre opere dello scrittore) che Wallace stesso abbia voluto ironizzare sullo stereotipo della donna “bellissima e spietata”. Ma soprattutto, dietro queste pagine, c’è tutta Hollywood, per cui Wallace ha scritto molte sceneggiature.

Story
Questo romanzo della poetessa e scrittrice Annie Vivanti è quasi un’autobiografia , tanto la sua vita personale si è intrecciata con la storia di queste due donne: Nancy, poetessa prodigio, e Anne-marie, sua figlia, violinista prodigio. Chi ha del Genio, dentro di sé, dice la scrittrice, può divenire un Divoratore di coloro che gli stanno accanto, ch divengono, dunque, dei Divorati. Un genio che, come un pifferaio magico, ti costringe a seguirlo, incantata dalla sua musica, fino a dentro una montagna, fuori dalla vita.

Story
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), scrittore britannico, segna il passaggio tra il periodo vittoriano e il novecento, di cui anticipa il pessimismo scopenhaueriano: l’uomo, con i suoi sogni e desideri ostacolato da un destino ostile. La tecnica narrativa di Hardy è molto ifluenzata dagli impressionisti:: "un romanzo è un'impressione, non un ragionamento", perciò ricorre spesso a descrizioni pittoriche e ai colori.

Story
I dolori del giovane Werther è un romanzo epistolare di Johann Wolfgang Goethe pubblicato nel 1774. Il Werther appartiene all'età giovanile di Goethe ed è considerato opera simbolo del movimento dello Sturm und Drang, anticipando molti temi che saranno propri del romanticismo tedesco.Beethoven ammirava questo libro di Goethe, che considerava "un artista che cammina dinanzi a tutta l'umanità". La cornice musicale è dunque l’Ouverture dell’Egmont, che Beethoven scrisse appunto ispirandosi al dramma di Goethe.

Questo libro appartiene a quel genere di romanzi di Verne che, più che libri di fantascienza,sono taccuini di viaggio. Una trama avventurosa (si parla di caccia alla tigre, di una vendetta all'ultimo sangue fra un indiano e un inglese) fa da trait d'union al vero protagonista del libro, che è il viaggio nellIndia del nord, partendo da Calcutta ed arrivando alle pendici dell'Himalaya. Il tutto a bordo di una fantastica casa a vapore a forma di elefante! La storia della sanguinosa insurrezione dei Cipay è il presupposto da cui si sviluppa la trama....

Story
Questo romanzo scritto nel 1917, narra della crisi spirituale di un vescovo anglicano, proprio durante la guerra, in cui visioni soprannaturali, indotte casualmente da una droga somministratagli inconsapevolmente, lo portano a superare i particolarismi delle varie confessioni per arrivare ad una fede più pura. "E' più facile che un vescovo smetta di credere in Dio che smetta di credere alla Chiesa", dice l'autore.

Il romanzo di Bithedale, o di Valgioiosa, o di Valgioconda, pubblicato nel 1852, è il terzo successo di Hawthorne. Ispirandosi agli ideali di Fourier, un gruppo di benestanti "radical-chic" vivono un'esperienza comunitaria in campagna, lavorando la terra e rinunciando al servizio di domestici come era loro abitudine in città. L'autore, che narra in prima persona, diviene spettatore di un triangolo amoroso in cui l'amore non è però l'unico o il principale ingrediente.

Story
Per quanto questo sia un romanzo storico, un narratore come Dickens non permetterà mai che la ricostruzione storica, per quanto dettagliata e accurata, prenda il sopravvento sulle vicende dei suoi personaggi. La grande novità letteraria di questo romanzo è proprio il personaggio il cui nome dà il titolo al libro: un giovane che a quei tempi veniva definito un "idiota", e che ora verrebbe descritto come un diversamente abile, in particolare in grado di vedere gli spiriti e le cose invisibili agli altri.

Questo romanzo, pubblicato nel 1809, è strutturato più come un'epopea, e, anche se scritto in prosa, il linguaggio e la costruzione ricordano Omero e Virgilio. Non a caso la protagonista femminile èuna discendente di Omero che si converte al Cristianesimo. Il protagonista, giovane cristiano che, persa la fede, la ritrova poi in seguito ad eventi tragici, racconta le sue avventure tra i Franchi e i Druidi. Nell'opera viene presentato il paganesimo ormai agonizzante e la religione cristiana nascente.

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.
