Uscita nel settembre 1971, "Le notti difficili" è l'ultima opera pubblicata da Buzzati. Nei cinquantuno testi spesso autobiografici che compongono la raccolta, elzeviri e racconti soprattutto, tornano in chiave rinnovata i temi più cari all'autore: l'inquietudine delle attese, il senso dello scorrere del tempo, gli incubi notturni, l'indifferenza del destino, la magia racchiusa nell'ovvio... Il tutto sullo sfondo di una quotidianità percorsa da strani segni premonitori, in continua oscillazione tra la cronaca e un realismo favoloso.

Il mondo magico e inquietante di Dino Buzzati (1906-72). Trentuno racconti surreali, imprevedibili e misteriosi scelti dallo stesso autore per questo volume.

Terza raccolta di racconti di Buzzati (apparve nel 1954, dopo "I sette messaggeri" e "Paura alla Scala"), "Il crollo della Baliverna" evidenzia due dei temi fondamentali dello scrittore: il gioco del destino e delle coincidenze che imbrigliano l'uomo senza lasciargli scampo e la dimensione religiosa - sempre presente anche quando non è esplicitata nell'opera buzzatiana - intesa non come "fede", ma come unica possibilità per penetrare il mistero dell'essere. In questi trentasette racconti l'autore dà voce alle contraddizioni umane, alle infinite sfumature della libertà del singolo.

"Paura alla Scala" fu pubblicato nel 1949, dopo il successo de Il deserto dei Tartari e I sette messaggeri. Nelle venticinque storie che compongono la raccolta si dispongono, con esiti letterari altissimi, i grandi temi della narrativa dello scrittore bellunese: il senso di solitudine di fronte alla vastità e all'inaccessibilità del cosmo; l'attesa di qualcosa che rompa l'incanto della mediocrità cui ci sentiamo fissati; l'impressione che esista un destino più forte degli uomini, che pure tanto si affannano per poi scoprire quanto sono modesti rispetto alle loro presunzioni.

Passioni e sentimenti, paure, tenerezze, invocazioni, tradimenti, ricongiungimenti, botte e minacce, miseria e malattia: tutto sotto "Un cielo fatto solo d'amore". È l'incontro di Dino Campana con Sibilla Aleramo, incontro straordinario, come le lettere che i due amanti si scrissero. Ogni pagina di questo carteggio è un viaggio, esaltante e senza soste, che ha inizio sotto il sole infuocato dell'agosto 1916, fra la vera montagna dei solitari e la pura bellezza dei grandi boschi e prosegue serenamente negli ultimi splendori della bella stagione a Faenza e Marradi.
