Specially bound paperback edition, with deckle-edging (rough-cut) pages and French flaps. The first great adventure story in the Western canon, The Odyssey is a poem about violence and the aftermath of war; about wealth, poverty and power; about marriage, family and identity; and about travellers, hospitality and the changing meanings of home in a strange world. This vivid new translation-the first by a woman-matches the number of lines in the Greek original, striding at Homer's sprightly pace. Emily Wilson employs elemental, resonant language and an iambic pentameter to produce a translation with an enchanting "rhythm and rumble" that avoids proclaiming its own grandeur. An engrossing tale told in a compelling new voice that allows contemporary readers to luxuriate in Homer's descriptions and similes and to thrill at the tension and excitement of its hero's adventures, Wilson recaptures what is "epic" about this wellspring of world literature

A newly revised edition of the insightful poetic cycle by one of the key figures of modern literature Written while Federico Garcia Lorca was a student at Columbia University in 1929-30, Poet in New York is one of the most important books he produced, and certainly one of the most important books ever published about New York City. Indeed, it is a book that changed the direction of poetry in both Spain and the Americas, a pathbreaking and defining work of modern literature. Timed to coincide with the citywide celebration of Garcia Lorca in New York planned for 2013, this edition, which has been revised once again by the renowned Garcia Lorca scholar Christopher Maurer, includes thrilling material--new photographs, new and emended letters--that has only recently come to light. Complementing these additions are Garcia Lorca's witty and insightful letters to his family describing his feelings about America and his temporary home there (a dorm room in Columbia's John Jay Hall), the annotated photographs that accompany those letters, a prose poem, extensive notes, and an interpretive lecture by Garcia Lorca himself. An excellent introduction to the work of a key figure of modern poetry, this bilingual edition of Poet in New York,a strange, timeless, vital book of verse, is also an exposition of the American city in the twentieth century.

Certi luoghi sono maledetti. E le persone che ci abitano condannate a un destino che non meritano. Lo sa bene Stella, diciassette anni, l'estate negli occhi e addosso l'esuberanza di chi è giovane. Tutti a Sant'Elia, un quartiere popolare di Cagliari affacciato sul mare, la conoscono, la desiderano e la invidiano: perché lei è splendida, impunita. Speciale. Ma un giorno in cui il maestrale infuria rabbioso, viene trovata morta su una spiaggia, il volto sfregiato come a cancellare la sua bellezza leggendaria. Stella era pronta a lasciarsi alle spalle i palazzoni di Sant'Elia, ma il destino, o meglio, un assassino, ha scritto diversamente il suo futuro. È un'indagine difficile, questa, in cui si moltiplicano i sospettati e le piste: il vicequestore Vito Strega, insieme alla sua squadra di ispettrici, dovra districarsi nei segreti di un quartiere impenetrabile per la polizia. E, fin da subito, dovra fare i conti con i fantasmi della gente del posto e anche con i propri, che sperava di aver sepolto per sempre e invece tornano ad affiorare più forti che mai. In questo noir in cui i personaggi, attraverso i loro chiaroscuri, prendono vita come in un'antica tragedia, Piergiorgio Pulixi indaga il senso più controverso della giustizia, fa breccia negli indelebili legami di sangue e interroga le colpe dei padri.

Grande appassionato di gialli, Marzio Montecristo ha aperto da qualche anno nel centro di Cagliari una piccola libreria specializzata in romanzi polizieschi. Il nome della libreria, Les Chats Noirs, è un omaggio ai due gatti neri che un giorno si sono presentati in negozio e non se ne sono più andati, da lui soprannominati Miss Marple e Poirot. Nonostante il brutto carattere del proprietario, la libreria è molto frequentata, ed è Patricia, la giovane collaboratrice di Montecristo, di origini eritree, a salvare i clienti dalle sfuriate del titolare. La libreria ha anche un gruppo di lettura, "gli investigatori del martedì", un manipolo di super esperti di gialli che si riuniscono dopo la chiusura per discettare del romanzo della settimana. È una banda mal assembrata ma molto unita, di cui Marzio è diventato l'anima, suo malgrado. Un anno prima il gruppo si è dimostrato capace di aiutare una vecchia amica di Montecristo a risolvere un vero caso da tutti considerato senza speranza. Ora la sovrintendente Angela Dimase torna a chiedere la loro collaborazione per un'indagine che le sta togliendo il sonno: un uomo incappucciato si è presentato a casa di una famiglia, ha immobilizzato due coniugi e il loro figlioletto e ha intimato all'uomo di scegliere chi doveva morire tra la moglie e il figlio; se non avesse deciso entro un minuto, li avrebbe uccisi tutti e due. Il sadico killer viene presto soprannominato «l'assassino delle clessidre», visto che sulla scena del crimine ne lascia sempre una. Riusciranno gli improbabili "investigatori del martedì" a sbrogliare anche questo caso, intricato quanto agghiacciante, permettendo alla polizia di fermare il feroce assassino prima che colpisca di nuovo? Pulixi firma un giallo pieno di suspense e ironia che parla di libri e omaggia i classici del mystery, rendendo i lettori i veri protagonisti di questa storia.
