What does Jane Austen mean when she writes approvingly of a character's 'gentility' and ‘delicacy’, or critically of another's 'indolence' and 'impertinence’? What are her characters doing when they take the measure of a person's 'air' and 'address'? These questions and more are answered in this Janeite treasure trove, which examines the distinctive language woven through Austen’s signature stories. Maria Frawley takes 50 of those words - words that are integral to the fabric of Austen's fiction - and explores them in short, accessible and lively entries.

Thomas More is an enduringly fascinating and profoundly controversial figure. A brilliant scholar, his Utopia of 1516 dared to imagine how society might be completely reordered. At the same time, his hatred of the Reformation caused him to advocate, and seek to implement, the death penalty for heretics. A friend and advisor to Henry VIII, More's refusal to support Henry's break with Rome led to his execution in 1535, and the start of a long argument about his legacy.

Sulaco, provincia immaginaria della repubblica di Costaguana, vive sotto il battito incessante della miniera di San Tomé: è da lì che prende avvio Nostromo, capolavoro assoluto di Joseph Conrad e una delle più grandi epopee del Novecento. L'argento, motore segreto di potere, ambizione e rovina, accompagna e divora i destini di uomini e donne in un intreccio dove politica, passione e tragedia si confondono. Conrad intreccia tensione politica e inquietudine interiore, restituendo un romanzo che è insieme cronaca storica, allegoria morale e indagine dell'animo umano.

Il taglio del bosco (1959) è una raccolta di nove «racconti lunghi e romanzi brevi» costruita attorno a quello eponimo, che funge da spartiacque tra la fase "subliminare" dei primi tre testi e quella più matura, realista degli ultimi cinque, nella quale si avverte il respiro del grande romanziere. La raccolta, nel suo insieme, appare quindi come una sorta di precipitato del passato e di anticipazione del futuro, un'opera nodale di dolente forza poetica che delinea al contempo uno spaccato della società italiana in un'epoca di forti cambiamenti letterari e civili.

Un libro que rinde tributo al azar y sus travesuras que iluminan los días. Con un guiño al número 13 dentro de su producción —este será su decimotercer título—, Defreds plantea este libro como un homenaje al azar, a la importancia de este en los hechos relevantes o anodinos que le dan forma a nuestra vida, sus luces y sombras, ya que, en definitiva, la buena o la mala suerte "nos crean".

La historia comienza en retrospectiva, cuando la protagonista despierta con resaca y empieza a recordar los acontecimientos del día anterior; pero el fluir de su conciencia pronto se combina con el drama para abordar un amor que no ignora la ley del deseo.

This dazzling debut announces a not-so-new voice: that of the spoken-word poet Tjawangwa Dema. Winner of the Sillerman First Book Prize for African Poets, Dema’s collection, The Careless Seamstress, evokes the national and the subjective while reemphasizing that what is personal is always political. 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.
