"So foul a sky clears not without a storm." SHAKESPEARE"Nostromo" is the most anxiously meditated of the longer novels which belong to the period following upon the publication of the "Typhoon" volume of short stories.I dont mean to say that I became then conscious of any im-pending change in my mentality and in my attitude towards the tasks of my writing life.And perhaps there was never any change, except in that mysterious, extraneous thing which has nothing to do with the theories of art; a subtle change in the nature of the inspiration; a phenomenon for which I can not in any way be held responsible. What, however, did cause me some concern was that after finishing the last story of the "Typhoon" volume it seemed somehow that there was nothing more in the world to write about.

The Odyssey begins ten years after the end of the ten-year Trojan War (that is the subject of the Iliad), and Odysseus has still not returned home from the war. Odysseus son Telemachus is about 20 years old and is sharing his absent fathers house on the island of Ithaca with his mother Penelope and a crowd of 108 boisterous young men, "the Suitors", whose aim is to persuade Penelope to marry one of them, all the while enjoying the hospitality of Odysseus household and eating up his wealth.Odysseus protectress, the goddess Athena, discusses his fate with Zeus, king of the gods, at a moment when Odysseus enemy, the god of the sea Poseidon, is absent from Mount Olympus. Then, disguised as a Taphian chieftain named Mentes, she visits Telemachus to urge him to search for news of his father. He offers her hospitality; they observe the Suitors dining rowdily while the bard Phemius performs a narrative poem for them. Penelope objects to Phemius theme, the "Return from Troy".

We sailed from Peru, (where we had continued for the space of one whole year) for China and Japan, by the South Sea; taking with us victuals for twelve months; and had good winds from the east, though soft and weak, for five months space, and more. But the wind came about, and settled in the west for many days, so as we could make little or no way, and were sometime in purpose to turn back. But then again there arose strong and great winds from the south, with a point east, which carried us up (for all that we could do) towards the north; by which time our victuals failed us, though we had made good spare of them.During which time, there made forth to us a small boat, with about eight persons in it; whereof one of them had in his hand a tipstaff of a yellow cane, tipped at both ends with blue, who came aboard our ship, without any show of distrust at all. And when he saw one of our number, present himself somewhat before the rest, he drew forth a little scroll of parchment (somewhat yellower than our parchment, and shining like the leaves of writing tables, but otherwise soft and flexible,) and delivered it to our foremost man. In which scroll were written in ancient Hebrew.I

Accanto al corpo della moglie appena morta, un uomo cammina nella stanza e parla. Si e gettata dalla finestra poche ore prima. Ora, come sospinto da una necessita che non gli da tregua, tenta di ricostruire cio che e accaduto: il loro incontro, il matrimonio infelice, i silenzi, le incrinature quasi impercettibili che hanno finito per separare due vite sotto lo stesso tetto.Il suo e un monologo febbrile, spezzato, che prende la forma di un romanzo psicologico breve e di una serrata indagine della coscienza. Nella trama dei ricordi affiorano lentamente la gelosia e ossessione, il senso di colpa, le sottili dinamiche di una relazione tossica. E mentre la voce insiste, si corregge, si contraddice, limmagine della giovane donna la mite si trasforma: non piu figura docile e remissiva, ma presenza opaca, attraversata da un orgoglio silenzioso e da una sofferenza mai condivisa.Pubblicato nel 1876 nel Diario di uno scrittore, La mite di Dostoevskij e un classico russo di straordinaria intensita, una storia di amore tragico che, attraverso una prosa tesa e introspettiva, scava nella distanza irriducibile tra due esseri umani e nella difficolta, forse impossibile, di conoscersi davvero.

THE YEAR 1400 opened with more than usual pea-cefulness in England. Only a few months before, Richard IIweak, wicked, and treacheroushad been dethroned, and Henry IV declared King in his stead. But it was only a seeming peacefulness, lasting but for a little while; for though King Henry proved himself a just and a merciful manas justice and mercy went with the men of iron of those daysand though he did not care to shed blood needlessly, there were many noble families who had been benefited by King Richard during his reign, and who had lost somewhat of their power and prestige from the co-ming in of the new King.Among these were a number of great lordsthe Dukes of Albemarle, Surrey, and Exeter, the Marquis of Dorset, the Earl of Gloucester, and otherswho had been degra-ded to their former titles and estates, from which King Richard had lifted them. These and others brewed a secret plot to take King Henrys life, which plot might have succeeded had not one of their own number betrayed them.

The object of this book is to present in compendious form the evidence which myths and dreams supply as to primitive mans interpretation of his own nature and of the external world, and more especially to indicate how such evidence carries within itself the history of the origin and growth of beliefs in the supernatural.The examples are selected chiefly from barbaric races, as furnishing the nearest correspondences to the working of the mind in what may be called its "eocene" stage, but examples are also cited from civilised races, as witnessing to that continuity of ideas which is obscured by familiarity or ignored by prejudice.
