Thriller - romanzo breve (66 pagine) - “Credeva così di aver disposto tutto nel modo più conveniente per accentrare su di sé i sospetti, di essersi procurato insomma un ibi di ferro.” L’«ibi» da La «nera» di Dino BuzzatiFerruccio Pancaldi, agente di polizia in pensione, racconta al giovane Gianmarco Cavicchioli, studente all’Università di Ferrara, di un caso molto particolare accaduto nel 1986 che aveva coinvolto la sua squadra investigativa guidata dall’ispettore Luca Giatti. Un omicidio, il cui colpevole, fin dall’inizio delle indagini, sembrava essere stato servito loro su un piatto d’argento.

Au soir de sa naissance, une étoile filante amenait avec elle celle qui lui fit voir le jour.Il vécut par la gloire acquise et dans la pleine lumière éblouissante autour de son père.Mais l’ombre étatique, dans ce Ier siècle de notre ère à Rome, devait prendre sur Romulus toute sa place.Rome ne voulait plus de lui, pourtant héritier du grand soldat que fut longtemps son père au service de ses dirigeants.Sans doute jaloux de sa richesse, quelques sénateurs avaient, par une proscription votée à son encontre, chassé Romulus et ainsi montré que « n’était pas Patricien qui veut. »Il traversa toutes les Gaules pour enfin trouver sa terre sur le territoire des Ménapiens, aujourd’hui Les Hauts- de-France.

From the New York Times and internationally bestselling author of A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow, this “touching and emotionally satisfying” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) novel follows two Cuban teens in LA’s Echo Park neighborhood who clash over their visions for the future, the secrets between their families…and the sparks flying between them.Seventeen-year-old Clary is set to inherit her family’s florist shop, La Rosa Blanca—one of the last remnants of the Cuban business district that once thrived in Los Angeles’s Echo Park neighborhood. Clary knows Echo Park is where she’ll leave a legacy, and nothing is more important to her than keeping the area’s unique history alive.Besides Clary’s florist shop, there’s only one other business left founded by Cuban immigrants fleeing Castro’s regime in the sixties and seventies. And Emilio, who’s supposed to take over Avalos Bicycle Works one day, is more flight risk than dependable successor. While others might find Emilio appealing, Clary can see him itching to leave now that he’s graduated, and she’ll never be charmed by a guy who doesn’t care if one more Echo Park business fades away.But then Clary is caught off guard when an unexpected visitor delivers a shocking message from someone she thought she’d left behind. Meanwhile, Emilio realizes leaving home won’t be so easy—and Clary, who has always been next door, is who he confides in. As the summer days unfold, they find there’s something stronger than local history tying them together.

Winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize, The Age of Innocence is an elegant, masterful portrait of desire and betrayal in old New York—now with a new introduction from acclaimed author Colm Tóibín for the novel’s centennial. With vivid power, Wharton evokes a time of gaslit streets, formal dances held in the ballrooms of stately brownstones, and society people "who dreaded scandal more than disease." This is Newland Archer's world as he prepares to many the docile May Welland. Then, suddenly, the mysterious, intensely nonconformist Countess Ellen Olenska returns to New York after a long absence, turning Archer's world upside down. This classic Wharton tale of thwarted love is an exuberantly comic and profoundly moving look at the passions of the human heart, as well as a literary achievement of the highest order.
