Some mistakes carve wounds. Others, however, carve paths—twisting, unexpected roads that lead straight to the heart of what truly matters. In A Christmas Mistake, Montgomery paints a holiday tale where a simple misunderstanding reshapes lives in ways neither regret nor logic could predict. The charm of this story lies in its warmth, its humanity, and the quiet wisdom that sometimes, what seems like misfortune is nothing more than fate wrapped in disguise.

A man sits at his hearth as thunder shakes the mountains. Then—a knock. A stranger steps in, soaked and shivering, armed not with warmth or need, but with polished copper and an urgent offer. He doesn't sell comfort. He sells protection—against the very sky. The Lightning-Rod Man is Herman Melville at his most compact and cunning. This sharply drawn tale uses one room, one storm, and two voices to stage a quiet war between reason and fear, independence and submission, belief and the glittering promise of safety. It's a sales pitch wrapped in a sermon, disguised as a fable.

Christmas Eve—the night of joy, wonder, and magic. But what if the heart of Christmas itself was stolen? In this enchanting yet unexpected tale, L. Frank Baum dares to ask: what happens when Santa Claus disappears? Hidden away in his ice-bound Laughing Valley, Santa has made it his life's work to bring happiness to children across the world. But not everyone welcomes his kindness. Dark forces lurk beyond the cheerful glow of Christmas, and when Santa is taken captive, the very spirit of the holiday hangs in the balance.

A glittering evening. The rustle of silk. The gleam of chandeliers and whispered admiration following her every graceful turn. In that moment, she is everything she was born to be—adored, envied, radiant. But the night ends. And reality waits in the shadows. In a world where appearances speak louder than truths, how much is one willing to sacrifice to fit into a vision of elegance? And when the cost of illusion becomes a lifelong sentence, what remains of the dream?

Christmas is not in the lights, nor the gifts, nor the glittering decorations—it is in the hands that give, the hearts that open, the kindness that expects nothing in return. A Christmas Inspiration is a tale that shimmers with the quiet beauty of generosity, a story where one small act of warmth illuminates the season far brighter than any candle. With Montgomery's signature grace, the narrative unfolds like freshly fallen snow—soft, luminous, and filled with the hush of something deeply, unmistakably good.

Le donne di questo audiolibro sono quelle per cui la guerra non è mai finita. Complicate, ferite, tenere o rabbiose, vogliono evadere a ogni costo dalla prigione che lo sguardo maschile disegna intorno a loro. Massimo Carlotto riempie di storie e parole il silenzio che ammanta il conflitto tra uomini che odiano le donne e donne che si difendono dagli uomini. L’inventore di personaggi indimenticabili come Marco Buratti detto l’Alligatore e Giorgio Pellegrini, l’Arcibastardo del noir, ribalta il punto di vista e illumina a modo suo quel femminile mai davvero compreso, su cui da sempre si esercita il dominio di genere.

È un romanzo composto da una serie di dodici racconti legati da un filo narrativo e interdentale. A causa di un ascesso terribile, un uomo si reca al Pronto Soccorso dentistico notturno. Sulla poltrona il protagonista della storia, mentre sta cercando di vincere il dolore del trapano, fa volare la fantasia. Ecco allora le storie raccontate da Pinketts: dall'horror al noir, dal surreale al fantastico, i racconti si muovono tutti sul livello del paradosso e della metafora. Per ogni dente un racconto, in un caleidoscopio di immagini, di giochi di parole, di invenzioni fantastiche.
