"When will I wake up and listen?"This is the question posed by the lyrical narrator in one of the poems contained in this book. All of the poems in this volume deal with this question to a greater or lesser extent. What is the happiness that so many people seek? Where can it be found? Is the very fact of asking this question already a hint at finding it? Because perhaps the only thing we need is a different perspective on the things we deal with every day.I hope that these poems will be a source of inspiration for you, inviting a touch of magic into your everyday life and experiences! And so I would like to leave you with this: "With love, Cathi"

Narrated in the form of a dialogue, the character "Counselor" tells a friend about his platonic passion for Quintília, the most coveted single woman in the city of Rio de Janeiro, who suffered from a terrible aversion to marriage. The friendship between the couple, which arose after a bet between the Counselor and his work colleague Joo Nobrega, fuels the protagonists illusory hopes of declaring his love for the girl and, ultimately, marrying her. In this short story, Machado de Assis ironizes the institution of marriage, playing with the power of passion and desire.

E se antes de cada tragédia, de uma decepção anunciada, da cara quebrada, houvesse de DEUS um sinal? O que custa mais esforço; obedecer ou seguir os próprios instintos? Existe lógica no sexto sentido

Nesta pastiche espirituosa, Lovecraft adota a voz do moralista do século XVIII Dr. Samuel Johnson, que afirma ter sobrevivido muito além de seu próprio século. Escrita em um estilo deliberadamente arcaico, a obra apresenta as reflexes de Johnson sobre a passagem do tempo, o declinio dos costumes e o estranho progresso da sociedade moderna. Por meio de seu humor seco e indignaço erudita, o conto zomba gentilmente tanto da confiança do Iluminismo na razo quanto da obsesso do mundo moderno pela novidade.

Há momentos em que a medicina acontece muito antes do exame físico, do protocolo ou da assinatura no prontuário. Ela começa no olhar que hesita, na frase que sai trêmula, no gesto silencioso que carr

In this witty early pastiche, Lovecraft adopts the voice of the eighteenth-century moralist Dr. Samuel Johnson, who claims to have survived far beyond his own century. Written in a deliberately archaic style, the piece presents Johnsons reflections on the passage of time, the decline of manners, and the strange progress of modern society. Through his dry humor and learned indignation, the tale gently mocks both the Enlightenments confidence in reason and the modern worlds obsession with novelty.

Milano, zona vecchia Fiera campionaria, meta anni Settanta. Linagibile scantinato di un elettrauto si trasforma in una cantina, o in un salotto, o in un circolo anche se rettangolare o forse in unosteria, in un dopolavoro per disoccupati, in una biblioteca, in un presidio di resistenza umana. Insomma, in un rugby club. Lunico rugby club al mondo che disputa esclusivamente il terzo tempo. Un terzo tempo rituale o anarchico, organizzato o improvvisato, ripetuto migliaia di volte nella cantina di Gabriele Cabrio detto Lele, elettrauto ovale in tutti i sensi. Qui ognuno dice liberamente la sua, narrazioni e battute, avverbi e proverbi, storie e geografie, uninsalata russa, un fritto misto, una macedonia esotica. E qui per quarantanni giungono giocatori da tutta Italia, perfino alcuni All Blacks, un giorno si presenta Eddy Merckx, una sera Diego Abatantuono. E tutti insieme a mangiare e bere, guardare la Coppa del mondo e il TriNations, ascoltare Miles Davis e Fabio Treves. E il rugby come religione e filosofia, come scusa e alibi, come missione e ambasciata, come eredita.Con la postfazione di Giorgio Terruzzi.
