Chi non si è mai trovato bloccato in un ingorgo? Chi non ha cercato di far passare il tempo osservando le macchine della fila accanto? E cosa succede se l'imbottigliamento dura giorni, settimane, mesi? Ecco ciò che avviene in Autostrada del Sud , il primo racconto di questa raccolta di Julio Cortázar, l'autore che ha aperto nuove vie nel genere in cui è un riconosciuto maestro, sgranando le sue amatissime ossessioni: il tema del doppio, la discontinuità fra spazio e tempo, l'irrazionale come alternativa al quotidiano.

The Sorrows of Young Werther was Goethe's first major success, turning him from an unknown into a celebrated author practically overnight. Napoleon Bonaparte considered it one of the great works of European literature. He thought so highly of it that he wrote a soliloquy in Goethe's style in his youth and carried Werther with him on his campaigning to Egypt.

Remembrance of Things Past is one of the monuments of 20th century literature. Within a Budding Grove is the second of seven volumes. The young narrator, experiencing his youthful sexuality, falls under the spell of a group of adolescent girls, succumbs to the charms of the enchanting Gilberte, and visits a brothel where he meets Rachel. His impressions of life are also stimulated by the painter, Elstir, and his encounter with another girl, Albertine.

«La mujer alta» es un relato de terror sobrenatural de Pedro Antonio de Alarcón, incluido en sus Narraciones inverosímiles. En una reunión de amigos en la sierra, uno de ellos, Gabriel, cuenta la historia más inquietante que ha oído: la de Telesforo, un ingeniero joven, exitoso y racional que afirma haber sido perseguido por una presencia imposible. Telesforo confiesa que siempre ha sentido un miedo irracional a encontrarse con una mujer sola en la calle a altas horas de la noche.

Mention the name Niccolò Machiavelli and you might unleash a powerful response-even among people who have never read a word of his writing. The word "Machiavellian" conjures up images of an indistinct figure quietly making his way through the darkest corridors of power; a cold-blooded political liar; or a coolly practical leader - amoral at best - willing to do whatever is necessary in a world governed not by ideas of right or wrong, but by solutions dictated by realpolitik.

This is not just a book of poetry—it is a life's journey set to verse. The very first poem I wrote was inspired by my daughter, Asha Iman McAfee, whose radiant spirit lives in every part of this book.

Neste Sanduíche de anzóis, Paulo Scott reúne sua produção poética dos últimos 25 anos, mas não apenas isso: ao revisitar seus textos, ele reescreve, corta, repensa, reorganiza, criando uma nova obra, totalmente reinventada, e independente de seus livros anteriores. Sua linguagem, trabalhada ao longo de décadas, é combativa, desafia o esperado. Girando em torno do amor, da revolta e da loucura—há também um breve e potente manifesto contra o novo fascismo—esta inédita coleção marca sua sólida trajetória como um dos poetas mais singulares da atualidade.

Formas de volver a casa habla de la generación de quienes aprendían a leer o a dibujar mientras sus padres se convertían en cómplices o víctimas de la dictadura de Augusto Pinochet. Alejandro Zambra muestra el Chile de mediados de los años ochenta a partir de la vida de un niño de nueve años. El autor apunta a la necesidad de una literatura de los hijos, de una mirada que haga frente a las versiones oficiales. Pero no se trata solo de matar al padre sino también de entender realmente lo que sucedía en esos años.

Zwölf Jahre lang arbeitete der Walliser Schriftsteller Pierre Imhasly an seinem Opus magnum: einem ausufernden Weltpoem und zugleich einem intimen Liebesgedicht. Die "Rhone Saga" verbindet lyrische Emphase mit sachlicher Beschreibung. In "Brüchen und Neuanfängen" evoziert Imhasly die alpine und die mediterrane Kultur als eine elementare Landschaft, deren Geheimnis sich in den archaischen Bräuchen und in der ungebändigten Natur offenbart.

In the beginning, the world is spoken into existence with one word: “Earth.” There are no inhabitants, and no sun—only the broad sky, silent sea, and sovereign Framer and Shaper. Then come the twin heroes Hunahpu and Xbalanque. Wielding blowguns, they begin a journey to hell and back, ready to confront the folly of false deities as well as death itself, in service to the world and to humanity. This is the story of the Mayan Popol Vuh, “the book of the woven mat,” one of the only epics indigenous to the Americas.
