Il mondo magico e inquietante di Dino Buzzati (1906-72). Trentuno racconti surreali, imprevedibili e misteriosi scelti dallo stesso autore per questo volume.

"The dull ones would never understand Cass. To the men she was simply a sex machine and they didn't care whether she was crazy or not." Bukowski's alter ego finds himself in a slow dance with the most beautiful girl in town, who also happens to be its saddest; a tale of loss and what might have been.

Form-defining short stories. First published in 1914, James Joyce defined what the short story could be with his collection The Dubliners. A mixture of prose and poetry, each story can be listened to independently, or as a collection. From childhood to maturity, we see what life - and ultimately death - can be, via an extraordinary cast of characters, all of whom experience an epiphany. There’s Father Flynn, the priest; Evelyn, the shop girl who dreams of escape; Mrs Mooney, the butcher’s daughter, who runs a boarding house.

This collection of Buk's grimmest diaries gives an insight into the noir and brutal Los Angeles that Bukowski observed and lived so well. He was a legend in his time: a madman, a recluse, a lover...tender, vicious...never the same. These are exceptional stories that came pounding out of his violent and depraved life - horrible and holy. You cannot listen to them and come away the same again.

Nato all'ombra delle Dolomiti bellunesi, valente alpinista, Dino Buzzati nutrì sempre un forte amore per la montagna. Le vette ricorrono spesso nei suoi romanzi, nei racconti, nei quadri, nelle prose giornalistiche: di volta in volta metafora del mistero, giganti con cui misurarsi, obiettivo di conquista o simbolo di occasioni perdute.

La visione labirintica del mondo, l'attenzione alle relazioni segrete fra le cose, l'ambientazione spazio-temporale spesso esotica e remota. Nei diciannove racconti che compongono I sette messaggeri (1942), la sua prima raccolta di racconti, si ritrovano tutti gli elementi più tipici della complessa poetica di Dino Buzzati. Racconti permeati da meravigliose suggestioni del favolismo d'ispirazione orientale e da quell'accentuato simbolismo, non privo di risvolti umani, che accompagnerà Buzzati nell'intero suo lavoro di raffinato narratore.

Barry Hannah's death on March 1 brought writers and fans out of the woodwork to mourn an irrevocable loss to American letters. Now, combining the best of the four story collections he published during his lifetime - Airships, Captain Maximus, Bats Out of Hell, and High Lonesome - and drawing from his final, never-before-seen manuscript, Long, Last, Happy will cement his legacy and serve as the definitive collection of his finest work in the story form.

Trying to Save Piggy Sneed contains a dozen short works by John Irving, beginning with three memoirs, including an account of Mr. Irving’s dinner with President Ronald Reagan at the White House. The longest of the memoirs, The Imaginary Girlfriend,” is the core of this collection.

Bukowski's mad immortal origins, surfaced from the literary underground, have addicted legions of audiences who've recognized Bukowski as one of America's greatest realist writers and poets. Audible Studios narrator and OBIE winner Will Patton ( Remember the Titans, The Good Wife, Armageddon) gives a tour de force performance of Bukowski's greatest work in his prime.

Seventeen Syllables and Other Stories brings together 15 stories that span Hisaye Yamamoto's 40-year career. It was her first book to be published in the United States. Yamamoto's themes include the cultural conflicts between the first generation, the Issei and their children, the Nisei; coping with prejudice; and the World War II internment of Japanese Americans.

Riuniti in raccolta dallo stesso Buzzati questi racconti brevi rappresentano una vera "summa" del mondo poetico dello scrittore, uno dei maestri nella narrativa italiana contemporanea.

"Teatro 2" è il secondo volume di testi scritti da Stefano Benni per registi e interpreti teatrali: dalla libera rivisitazione dell'opera collodiana in "Pinocchia", scritto per la donna burattino Angela Finocchiaro, a "Le canzoni di Amlieto", la commedia sul principe triste di shakespeariana memoria, scritta per i Broncoviz del Teatro dell'Archivolto; dal "Dottor Divago", un monologo interpretato da Ugo di Ghero, a "Il carnevale degli insetti".

The volume gathers together fifty-five stories, from "Armistice" (1940) to "Alma Redeemed" (1984), and including the immortal stories from The Magic Barrel and the vivid depictions of the unforgettable Fidelman. It is a varied and generous collection of great examples of the modern short story, which Malamud perfected, and an ideal introduction to the work of this great American writer.

The title story of this collection - a devilishly ironic riff on H. P. Lovecraft's "Pickman's Model" - was nominated for a World Fantasy Award, while "Probiscus" was nominated for an International Horror Guild award and reprinted in The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror 19. In addition to his previously published work, this collection contains an original story.

Os contos reunidos neste audiolivro nos levam a participar de uma jornada marcada pela diversidade. Convivem aí o viajante e o artesão. O interesse da narradora se fixa em assuntos e temas bem diferentes, de uma viagem a Cádiz à espera de crianças pela visita do carteiro que traz notícias do pai, este sim viajante. E uso narradora não só por ela ser Ângela, mas porque se escuta aí uma voz bem feminina.
