Se i racconti giovanili di Irène Némirovsky trattavano gli stessi temi dei romanzi coevi – l'amore, la nostalgia, il disinganno, l'ambizione, l'avidità, l'ipocrisia dei legami familiari, il rimpianto per le occasioni mancate, l'impossibile assimilazione – con una leggerezza mondana, sia pur velata spesso di malinconia, quelli composti dal 1938 in poi, nell'ultima, febbrile stagione della sua scrittura, offuscata dalla minaccia della persecuzione e della guerra, hanno un tono più grave, a volte quasi cupo.

Come sarebbe, si domanda Philip Dick, un mondo nato dalla vittoria dell'Asse nella Seconda guerra mondiale? Chi governerebbe il Reich? Cambierebbe qualcosa? Cambierebbe qualcosa per lui, Phil Dick, scrittore proletario e depresso, residente a Point Reyes, nella Contea di Marin? Partendo da quest'idea, poi divenuta un classico della letteratura, Dick non immagina un ipotetico futuro quanto un diverso passato e il presente che ne deriva.

Non appena in Occidente si sparse la voce della prossima uscita della flotta turca, papa Pio V decise che quella era l'occasione buona per realizzare un progetto che sognava da tempo: l'unione delle potenze cristiane per affrontare gli infedeli in mare con forze schiaccianti, e mettere fine una volta per tutte alla minaccia che gravava sulla Cristianità.
