The first rule about fight club is you don''t talk about fight club.Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generations most visionary satirist in this, his first book. Fight Clubs estranged narrator leaves his lackluster job when he comes under the thrall of Tyler Durden, an enigmatic young man who holds secret after-hours boxing matches in the basements of bars. There, two men fight "as long as they have to." This is a gloriously original work that exposes the darkness at the core of our modern world.

"Lo hobbit" e il libro con cui Tolkien ha presentato per la prima volta, nel 1937, il foltissimo mondo mitologico del Signore degli Anelli, che ormai milioni di persone di ogni eta, sparse ovunque, conoscono in tutti i suoi minuti particolari. Tra i protagonisti di tale mondo sono gli hobbit, minuscoli esseri "dolci come il miele e resistenti come le radici di alberi secolari", timidi, capaci di "sparire veloci e silenziosi al sopraggiungere di persone indesiderate", con un'arte che sembra magica ma e "unicamente dovuta a un'abilita professionale che l'eredita, la pratica e un'amicizia molto intima con la terra hanno reso inimitabile da parte di razze piu grandi e goffe" quali gli uomini. Se non praticano la magia, gli Hobbit finiscono pero sempre in mezzo a feroci vicende magiche, come capita appunto a Bilbo Baggins, eroe quasi a dispetto di questa storia, che il grande "mago bianco" Gandalf coinvolgera in un'impresa apparentemente disperata: la riconquista del tesoro custodito dal drago Smog. Bilbo incontrera cosi ogni sorta di avventure, assieme ai tredici nani suoi compagni e a Gandalf, che appare e scompare, lasciando cadere come per caso le parole degli insegnamenti decisivi. E il ritrovamento, apparentemente casuale, di un anello magico, e il germe della grande saga che Tolkien proseguira nei tre libri del "Signore degli Anelli" illuminando nel suo durissimo senso un tema segreto de "Lo hobbit": cosa fare dell'Anello del Potere?
