Thirty minutes after leaving her husband and child at home, she spontaneously exits the freeway, beds down in a nondescript motel and immerses herself in a temporary reinvention that turns out to be the start of an entirely different journey.Miranda July's second novel confirms the brilliance of her unique approach to fiction. With July's wry voice, perfect comic timing, unabashed curiosity about human intimacy and palpable delight in pushing boundaries, All Fours tells the story of one woman's quest for a new kind of freedom. Part absurd entertainment, part tender reinvention of the sexual, romantic and domestic life of a 45-year-old female artist, All Fours transcends expectations while excavating our beliefs about life lived as a woman. Once again, July hijacks the familiar and turns it into something new and thrillingly, profoundly alive.

Goiz batean, Gregor Samsa amets nahasiak izanda esnatu zenean, zomorro beldurgarri bat bihurturik aurkitu zuen ohean bere burua. Zalantza izan zuen amesgaiztotik aske ote zen ala ez. Baina, bai, esna zegoen, eta egokitu behar izan zuen, minutuak eta orduak aurrera egin ahala, zomorroaren izaerara. Harrigarria egiten zaigu zein naturaltasunez, zein errealismo izugarriz dagoen kontatua pertsonaiari gertatzen ari zaiona.Zergatik zara nire beldur?. Aitaren begiratu eta autoritate moralaren aurrean kokilduta bere gelako bakardade errudunera erretiratuko da, bertako ezkutalekuetan babesteko. Kontakizun eder honek hamaika interpretazio izan dezake, baita aitaren aurrean Kafkak berak sentitzen zuenaren transposizio literario moduan ere. Ez da hori noski Metamosfosia honetan bakarrik gertatzen, motibo berberak agintzen du Epaia edo Aitari gutuna gisako kontakizun autobiografikoetan ere.

Fifteen years ago, in Mitch Albom's beloved novel, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, the world fell in love with Eddie, a grizzled war veteran- turned-amusement park mechanic who died saving the life of a young girl named Annie. Eddie's journey to heaven taught him that every life matters. Now, in this magical sequel, Mitch Albom reveals Annie's story. The accident that killed Eddie left an indelible mark on Annie. It took her left hand, which needed to be surgically reattached. Injured, scarred, and unable to remember why, Annie's life is forever changed by a guilt-ravaged mother who whisks her away from the world she knew. Bullied by her peers and haunted by something she cannot recall, Annie struggles to find acceptance as she grows. When, as a young woman, she reconnects with Paulo, her childhood love, she believes she has finally found happiness. As the novel opens, Annie is marrying Paulo. But when her wedding night day ends in an unimaginable accident, Annie finds herself on her own heavenly journey - and an inevitable reunion with Eddie, one of the five people who will show her how her life mattered in ways she could not have fathomed. Poignant and beautiful, filled with unexpected twists, The Next Person You Meet in Heaven reminds us that not only does every life matter, but that every ending is also a beginning - we only need to open our eyes to see it.

Na torre da illa de Toralla, en plena ría de Vigo, aparece o cadáver dun saxofonista. O asasinato, dunha crueldade e sangue frío inusitados, vai ser investigado por Leo Caldas, inspector de policía que busca o seu lugar no mundo e que, ademais do seu traballo na comisaria, interven nun consultorio radiofonico ao que os cidadans se achegan coas queixas mais diversas. O seu axudante, Rafael Estevez, e un aragones destinado na cidade, un elemento estraño en terra hostil cun caracter demasiado impetuoso para os seus novos veciños. O caso desenvolverase entre o ambiente calido e nocturno dos clubs de jazz e a atmosfera tensa e afectada da alta burguesia viguesa. Novela policial salferida de humor e con grandes doses de suspense, Ollos de auga situa ao seu autor na liña de escritores que, coma Andrea Camilleri e Henning Mankell, renovan o xenero negro desde Europa cunha obra na que o interese da narracion se ve acrecentado por unha vision critica da sociedade. Na obra de Domingo Villar conviven certa melancolia coa ledicia da musica e o viño branco. Unha historia de misterio zarrapicada de ironia, unha intriga retranqueira, unha novela negra en cores.

Il Virginian era un piroscafo. Negli anni tra le due guerre faceva la spola tra Europa e America, con il suo carico di miliardari, di emigranti e di gente qualsiasi. Dicono che sul Virginian si esibisse ogni sera un pianista straordinario, dalla tecnica strabiliante, capace di suonare una musica mai sentita prima, meravigliosa. Dicono che la sua storia fosse pazzesca, che fosse nato su quella nave e che da li non fosse mai sceso. Dicono che nessuno sapesse il perche. Questo racconto, nato come monologo teatrale, e uscito per la prima volta nel 1994. Nel 1998 Giuseppe Tornatore ne ha tratto il film "La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano".

LAntoni es dirigeix a una entitat bancaria per demanar un credit personal, pero quan el director de la oficina veu que no pot oferir cap tipus de garantia ni daval per tornar-lo, decideix denegar-lhi. Davant daquesta negativa, lAntoni no es conforma i fa una proposta molt desconcertant al director. El credit es, en paraules de Sergi Belbel, una gran comedia sobre leconomia, la crisi, la desesperacio, la fragilitat de les vides humanes i, tambe, encara que no ho sembli a primera vista, sobre les estranyes i insondables relacions de parella.Si a El metode Gronholm Galceran feia una disseccio, en clau dhumor, del que estem disposats a fer els humans per aconseguir una feina, a El credit ens planteja quin es el limit huma davant de la desesperacio economica.

Il romanzo comincia seguendo le due protagoniste bambine, e poi adolescenti, tra le quinte di un rione miserabile della periferia napoletana, tra una folla di personaggi minori accompagnati lungo il loro percorso con attenta assiduita. L'autrice scava nella natura complessa dell'amicizia tra due bambine, tra due ragazzine, tra due donne, seguendo la loro crescita individuale, il modo di influenzarsi reciprocamente, i buoni e i cattivi sentimenti che nutrono nei decenni un rapporto vero, robusto. Narra poi gli effetti dei cambiamenti che investono il rione, Napoli, l'Italia, in piu di un cinquantennio, trasformando le amiche e il loro legame. E tutto cio precipita nella pagina con l'andamento delle grandi narrazioni popolari, dense e insieme veloci, profonde e lievi, rovesciando di continuo situazioni, svelando fondi segreti dei personaggi, sommando evento a evento senza tregua, ma con la profondita e la potenza di voce a cui l'autrice ci ha abituati. Si tratta di quel genere di libro che non finisce. O, per dire meglio, l'autrice porta compiutamente a termine in questo primo romanzo la narrazione dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza di Lila e di Elena, ma ci lascia sulla soglia di nuovi grandi mutamenti che stanno per sconvolgere le loro vite e il loro intensissimo rapporto.
