Che cos'è l'andare in montagna senza la conquista della cima? Un atto di non violenza, un desiderio di comprensione, un girare intorno al senso del proprio camminare. Questo libro è un taccuino di viaggio, ma anche il racconto illustrato, caldo, dettagliato, di come vacillano le certezze col mal di montagna, di come si dialoga con un cane tibetano, di come il paesaggio diventa trama del corpo e dello spirito. Perché l'Himalaya non è una terra in cui addentrarsi alla leggera: è una montagna viva, abitata, usata, a volte subita, molto lontana dalla nostra. Per affrontarla serve una vera spedizione, con guide, portatori, muli, un campo da montare ogni sera e smontare ogni mattina, e soprattutto buoni compagni di viaggio. Se è vero che in montagna si cammina da soli anche quando si cammina con qualcuno, il senso di lontananza e di esplorazione rinsalda le amicizie. Le notti infinite in tenda con Nicola, l'assoluta magnificenza della montagna contemplata con Remigio, il saliscendi del cammino in alta quota, l'alterita dei luoghi e delle persone incontrate. Questo è il viaggio che Paolo Cognetti intraprende sul finire del suo quarantesimo anno, poco prima di superare il crinale della giovinezza.

WINNER OF THE 2021 WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTIONA Sunday Times & New York Times bestsellerThe spectacular new novel from the bestselling author of JONATHAN STRANGE & MR NORRELL, 'one of our greatest living authors' (NEW YORK MAGAZINE)__________________________________Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has.In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone.Messages begin to appear, scratched out in chalk on the pavements. There is someone new in the House. But who are they and what do they want? Are they a friend or do they bring destruction and madness as the Other claims?Lost texts must be found; secrets must be uncovered. The world that Piranesi thought he knew is becoming strange and dangerous.The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite.__________________________________'What a world Susanna Clarke conjures into being Piranesi is an exquisite puzzle-box' DAVID MITCHELL'It subverts expectations throughout Utterly otherworldly' GUARDIAN'Piranesi astonished me.

Moby Dick tells the story of Ishmael, who announces his intent to ship aboard a whaling vessel. He has made several voyages as a sailor but none as a whaler. He travels to New Bedford, Massachusetts, where he stays in a whalers inn. Since the inn is rather full, he has to share a bed with a harpooner from the South Pacific named Queequeg. At first repulsed by Queequegs strange habits and shocking appearance (Queequeg is covered with tattoos), Ishmael eventually comes to appreciate the mans generosity and kind spirit, and the two decide to seek work on a whaling vessel together.

65 Jahre in der Schublade - heute ein Bestseller'Der Uberlaufer' ist Siegfried Lenz' zweiter Roman, geschrieben 1951. Obgleich vollendet und vom Autor mehrfach uberarbeitet, blieb er bis 2016 unveroffentlicht. Zur Zeit seiner Entstehung wurde er vom Verlag aus politischen Grunden abgelehnt. Ein Uberlaufer zu den Sowjets als Romanheld war im Kalten Krieg nicht opportun. Eine groartige Entdeckung, ein beeindruckender Roman uber den ewigen Konflikt zwischen Pflicht und Gewissen.

Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantes is confined to the grim fortress of If. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and he becomes determined not only to escape, but also to unearth the treasure and use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Dumas' epic tale of suffering and retribution, inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment, was a huge popular success when it was first serialized in the 1840s. Robin Buss's lively English translation is complete and unabridged, and remains faithful to the style of Dumas's original. This edition includes an introduction, explanatory notes and suggestions for further reading.

Austen''s most popular novel, the unforgettable story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. DarcyFew have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of Elizabeth Bennet in Austens beloved classic Pride and Prejudice. When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows us the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life. This Penguin Classics edition, based on Austen''s first edition, contains the original Penguin Classics introduction by Tony Tanner and an updated introduction and notes by Viven Jones.

Hai atracos e hai atracadores, pero poucos tan zoupóns, trapalleiros e inútiles como os que tentan roubar o banco nesta divertida comedia que tes nas mans, como non podía ser doutra maneira se o autor e Manuel Nuñez Singala.Un duo de ladrons sen vocacion, un director de banco mais delincuente que os propios atracadores, unha secretaria que parece inxenua pero que non o e tanto. Personaxes que fian unha disparatada trama na que a risa esta mais que garantida.E tamen, como e norma do autor, unha obra que nos vai facer pensar, entre gargallada e gargallada, ainda que so sexa un pouquiño.

Holly Gibney of the Finders Keepers detective agency is working on the case of a missing dog - and on her own need to be more assertive - when she sees the footage on TV. But when she tunes in again, to the late-night report, she realises there is something not quite right about the correspondent who was first on the scene. So begins 'If It Bleeds', a stand-alone sequel to the No. 1 bestselling THE OUTSIDER featuring the incomparable Holly on her first solo case - and also the riveting title story in Stephen King's brilliant new collection. Dancing alongside are three more wonderful long stories from this 'formidably versatile author' (The Sunday Times) - 'Mr Harrigan's Phone', 'The Life of Chuck' and 'Rat'. All four display the richness of King's storytelling with grace, humour, horror and breathtaking suspense. A fascinating Author's Note gives us a wonderful insight into the origin of each story and the writer's unparalleled imagination.

The #1 Sunday Times Bestseller* *Longlisted for the Booker Prize 2021* *A Barack Obama Summer Reading Pick* 'This is a novel for fans of Never Let Me Go . . . tender, touching and true.' The Times 'The Sun always has ways to reach us.' From her place in the store, Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, watches carefully the behaviour of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass in the street outside.

In Klara and The Sun, Kazuo Ishiguro looks at our rapidly changing world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator to explore a fundamental question: what does it mean to love?

Portraying himself as a failure, the protagonist of Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human narrates a seemingly normal life even while he feels himself incapable of understanding human beings. Oba Yozo's attempts to reconcile himself to the world around him begin in early childhood, continue through high school, where he becomes a "clown" to mask his alienation, and eventually lead to a failed suicide attempt as an adult. Without sentimentality, he records the casual cruelties of life and its fleeting moments of human connection and tenderness.
