C'est le plus grand critique culinaire du monde, le Pape de la gastronomie, le Messie des agapes somptueuses. Demain, il va mourir. Il le sait et il n'en a cure : aux portes de la mort, il est en quête d'une saveur qui lui trotte dans le cœur, une saveur d'enfance ou d'adolescence, un mets original et merveilleux dont il pressent qu'il vaut bien que tous ses festins de gourmet accompli. Alors il se souvient. Silencieusement, parfois frénétiquement, il vogue au gré des méandres de sa mémoire gustative. Il se souvient - et il ne trouve pas. Pas encore.

"Die Schule ist die einzige moderne Kulturfrage, die ich ernst nehme und die mich gelegentlich aufregt. An mir hat die Schule viel kaputt gemacht, und ich kenne wenig bedeutende Persönlichkeiten, denen es nicht ähnlich ging." So Hermann Hesse über sein viel diskutiertes Werk an einen seiner Brüder, der sich später - nicht zuletzt aufgrund in der Schulzeit gelegter Probleme - umbrachte.

Un relato escalofriante, una historia real que nos sume en el estupor, que es un viaje al corazón del horror, un audiolibro excepcional que ha sido comparado con "A sangre fría" de Truman Capote. El 9 de enero de 1993, Jean-Claude Romand mató a su mujer, sus hijos, sus padres e intentó, sin éxito, darse muerte.

Stefan Zweig hat beispielhaft vierzehn von ihnen nachgezeichnet.

Italy is exhausted. Tired of the political class. Tired of the inept moderates and the agonising machinations of a democracy that no longer seems to be working. While the leaders of the country have sat idly in the safety of parliament, achieving nothing, one man on the outside has risen to the top. Like an animal, he can smell that change is coming. He is Benito Mussolini.

"Sa robe caresse le sol. À cet instant, nous sommes comme les pierres des voûtes, immobiles et sans souffle. Mais ce qui raidit mes frères, ce n'est pas l'indifférence, car ils sont habitués à ne pas être regardés ; ni non plus la solennité de l'entretien - tout ce qui touche à Aliénor est solennel. Non, ce qui nous fige, à cet instant-là, c'est sa voix. Car c'est d'une voix douce, pleine de menaces, que ma mère ordonne d'aller renverser notre père." Aliénor d'Aquitaine racontée par son fils Richard Cœur de Lion.
