Lo conobbi nel collegio di Valenza. Io aveva allora quattordici anni, egli ne aveva diciasette compiuti, ma il suo corpo erasi gia sviluppato come a venti; in quella scolaresca di fanciulli egli rappresentava colla sua statura elevata, colla sua testa di Apollo, un personaggio assai piu imponente del maestro. Quellimmagine mi richiama le memorie piu dolci e piu pure della mia fanciullezza, mi evoca scene obliate da lunghi anni, rimembranze confuse, sulle quali il mio pensiero non sa tanto arrestarsi e scrutare da ritesserne intatta la tela. Difficilmente la nostra memoria ha la virtu di evocare uh passato di quindici anni; ma spesso in quelle tenebre che lo circondano rimane un filo di luce che ci guida a rintracciare le gioie; spesso basta il profumo dun fiore, un filo dacqua, un suono, un nome, una fronda, per richiamarci le immagini di alcuni affetti, le circostanze di alcuni avvenimenti che si erano dimenticati da anni. Ma sono scene che lintelletto illumina ad intervalli, a bagliori; quelledificio si sfascia ricostruendolo; la memoria evoca e passa, poiche nella lotta che noi combattiamo col dolore non ci schermiamo che dal dolore dellistante: nessuno potra lottare ad un tempo colle sofferenze riunite di tutta una vita.

I due uomini che cosi chiacchieravano, inoltrandosi in mezzo ad una splendida vegetazione equatoriale, che li riparava dagli ultimi ma ancora ardenti raggi del sole, erano allora giunti sulle rive dun corso dacqua, largo tre o quattrocento passi ed ingombro disolotti coperti dalte erbe e da gruppi di piccoli banani, dalle larghe foglie dun verde vivo.Colui che abbiamo udito chiamare Alfredo, si era bruscamente arrestato, curvandosi verso la sponda che era ingombra di paletuvieri, incrocianti in tutti i sensi i loro rami e le loro radici sporgenti dal fondo del fiume, ed aveva girato allintorno un rapido ma acuto sguardo; mentre il suo compagno, quantunque ignorasse di cosa si trattasse, si era levato dalla spalla una corta ma pesante carabina, una di quelle armi usate per la caccia dei grossi animali.

...an intelligent take-down, but funny tooThe TimesPeloton. Pilates. Biohacking. Colonics. Ashwagandha. How did we get here and how did the idea of wellness become integrated with womens lives?Penetrating and thought-provoking, this will cause readers to think twice before reaching for the latest purported cure-all. Publishers WeeklyA rollicking exploration of our desperation for wellness, our devotion to CBD, (and) self-care...deftly separating the gobbledygook from the truly transformative. Ariel Levy, author of The Rules Do Not ApplyToday, the wellness industry is a $3.7 trillion behemoth that touches us all. Amy Larocca takes readers into the communities that swear by their activated charcoal toothpaste and green juice enemas, explaining what each of these practices really is, and what the science says.Larocca holds a magnifying glass to alternative medicine and nouveau lifestyle prescriptions and tries a lot herself along the way ultimately delivering an assessment of how the wellness industry embodies our (gendered, class-based, racialised) perceptions of care and self-improvement, and how it preys on our unshakable fear of the unknown. She traces the history of how the beauty and fashion industries have peddled snake oil to women for decades, and why we keep coming back for more.

Grief, joy and spilled rum at the worlds death festivalsBy the time Erica Buists father-in-law Chris was discovered, upstairs in his bed, his book resting on his chest, he had been dead for over a week. Erica searched for answers (the artery-clogging cheeses in his fridge?) and tried to reason with herself (does daughter-in-law even feature in the grief hierarchy?) and eventually landed on an inevitable, uncomfortable truth: everybody dies.With Mexicos Day of the Dead festivities as a starting point, she decided to confront death head on by visiting seven death festivals around the world one for every day they didnt find Chris. From Mexico to Nepal, Sicily, Thailand, Madagascar, Japan and finally Indonesia with a stopover in New Orleans, where the dead outnumber the living ten to one Erica searched for the answers to both fundamental and unexpected questions around death anxiety.This Partys Dead is the account of her journey to understand how other cultures deal with mortal terror, how they move past the knowledge that theyre going to die in order to live happily day-to-day, how they celebrate rather than shy away from the topic of death and how when this openness and acceptance are passed down through the generations, death suddenly doesnt seem so scary after all.

On the wintry Tuscan coast, the wealthy elite retreat to their lavish holiday homes. But the season turns sinister when a couple vanishes from a locked villa, and the body of a dubious count washes ashore, bludgeoned to death. With echoes of Agatha Christie and the erudite suspense of Umberto Eco, a sly meditation on class, illusion, and desire, this literary mystery is both sharply observant and darkly entertaining.

Her mistake was minor.Her correction was not.In The Assistants Punishment, Cassian Ward delivers a dark, psychologically intense erotic novella set within the shadowed hierarchy of the Silent Command Rituals universe.Elena Morrow is precise, disciplined, and trusteduntil a single contractual oversight exposes a deeper flaw: control built on fear. Summoned by Adrian Vale, a man whose authority extends far beyond corporate structure, Elena is drawn into a hidden protocol beneath the firm, where mistakes are not forgiven but reshaped.What begins as professional correction evolves into ritualized dominance, psychological submission, and a deliberate dismantling of identity. Through punishment, discipline, and carefully orchestrated surrender, Elena is stripped of illusion and reforged into something more dangerous than obedience: alignment.This is not a story about abuse.It is a story about consent, power, and transformationwhere punishment becomes initiation, and submission becomes ascension.The Assistants Punishment blends explicit erotic tension with slow-burn psychological control, ritualized power exchange, and an expanding mythos of hidden authority.For readers of dark romance, BDSM erotica, corporate dominance fantasies, and psychologically driven erotic fiction.Adults only (18+).
