The Dogs also imagines a future where dogs develop the power of speech; led by the non-violent UnderDogs and the more radical Der Uberhünd, the animals of the world begin demanding their rights.

Sotto le luci miserabili e iperboliche di Hollywood, Arturo Bandini sogna il successo di scrittore mentre con la mano sinistra scrive pessime sceneggiature che non vedranno mai la luce. Potrebbe essere la premessa di una tragedia, ma come sempre, in bocca a Bandini, tutte le tragedie finiscono in commedia. Anche in quest'ultimo capolavoro colpisce l'inconfondibile voce fantiana, quell'impasto di humour, candore e cattiveria che ne ha fatto uno degli scrittori piú amati dei nostri anni.

The girls and women in these poems are not mere objects; they speak, labor, and gaze back, with difficulty and consequence. The tropes are familiar, but in their animation they question and move in unexpected ways.

Conrad intreccia tensione politica e inquietudine interiore, restituendo un romanzo che è insieme cronaca storica, allegoria morale e indagine dell'animo umano.

Sie muss erhalten bleiben, bevor sie in die falschen Hände gerät. Und genau Julien Lemoine ist der rechtmäßige Erbe.
