Frankenstein

Mary Shelley • 2020

Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley about the young student of science Victor Frankenstein, who creates a grotesque but sentient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was eighteen, and the novel was published when she was twenty. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in France in 1823.Shelley had travelled through Europe in 1814, journeying along the river Rhine in Germany with a stop in Gernsheim which is just 17 km (10 mi) away from Frankenstein Castle, where two centuries before an alchemist was engaged in experiments. Later, she travelled in the region of Geneva (Switzerland)—where much of the story takes place—and the topics of galvanism and other similar occult ideas were themes of conversation among her companions, particularly her lover and future husband, Percy Shelley. Mary, Percy, Lord Byron, and John Polidori decided to have a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for days, Shelley dreamt about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made; her dream later evolved into the story within the novel.

You Like It Darker: Stories

Stephen King · 2024

From legendary storyteller and master of short fiction Stephen King comes an extraordinary new collection of twelve short stories, many never-before-published, and some of his best EVER.<br/><br/>“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to read. King writes to feel “the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind,” and in You Like It Darker, readers will feel that exhilaration too, again and again.<br/><br/>“Two Talented Bastids” explores the long-hidden secret of how the eponymous gentlemen got their skills. In “Danny Coughlin’s Bad Dream,” a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny’s most catastrophically. In “Rattlesnakes,” a sequel to Cujo, a grieving widower travels to Florida for respite and instead receives an unexpected inheritance—with major strings attached. In “The Dreamers,” a taciturn Vietnam vet answers a job ad and learns that there are some corners of the universe best left unexplored. “The Answer Man” asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful.<br/><br/>King’s ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed. Each of these stories holds its own thrills, joys, and mysteries; each feels iconic. You like it darker? You got it.

It

Stephen King · 2019

Stephen King's classic #1 New York Times bestseller and the basis for the massively successful films It: Chapter One and It: Chapter Two as well as inspiration for HBO Max’s upcoming Welcome to Derry—about seven adults who return to their hometown to confront a nightmare they had first stumbled upon as teenagers...an evil without a name: It.<br/><br/>Welcome to Derry, Maine. It’s a small city, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry the haunting is real.<br/><br/>They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they are grown-up men and women who have gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But the promise they made twenty-eight years ago calls them reunite in the same place where, as teenagers, they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city’s children. Now, children are being murdered again and their repressed memories of that terrifying summer return as they prepare to once again battle the monster lurking in Derry’s sewers.<br/><br/>Readers of Stephen King know that Derry, Maine, is a place with a deep, dark hold on the author. It reappears in many of his books, including Bag of Bones, Hearts in Atlantis, and 11/22/63. But it all starts with It.<br/><br/>“Stephen King’s most mature work” (St. Petersburg Times), “It will overwhelm you…to be read in a well-lit room only” (Los Angeles Times).

Hearts in Atlantis

Stephen King · 2017

The classic collection of five deeply resonant and disturbing interconnected stories from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King.<br/><br/>Innocence, experience, truth, deceit, loss, and recovery are at the core of these five interconnected, sequential tales—each deeply rooted in the 1960s, and each scarred by the Vietnam War, which continues to cast its shadow over American lives, politics and culture.<br/><br/>In Part One, “Low Men in Yellow Coats,” eleven-year-old Bobby Garfield discovers a world of predatory malice in his own neighborhood. He also discovers that adults are sometimes not rescuers but at the heart of the terror.<br/><br/>In the title story, a bunch of college kids get hooked on a card game, discover the possibility of protest, and confront their own collective heart of darkness, where laughter may be no more than the thinly disguised cry of the beast.<br/><br/>In “Blind Willie” and “Why We’re in Vietnam,” two men who grew up with Bobby in suburban Connecticut try to fill the emptiness of the post-Vietnam era in an America which sometimes seems as hollow—and as haunted—as their own lives.<br/><br/>And in “Heavenly Shades of Night Are Falling,” this remarkable book’s denouement, Bobby returns to his hometown where one final secret, the hope of redemption, and his heart’s desire may await him.<br/><br/>Full of danger and suspense, full of heart, this spellbinding fiction will take some readers to a place they have never been...and others to a place they have never been able to completely forget. Nearly twenty years after its first publication, Hearts in Atlantis is powerful and astonishingly current.<br/><br/>“You will see Stephen King in a new light. Read this moving, heartfelt tragedy and weep—weep for our lost conscience.” —BookPage

Blaze

Stephen King · 2014

Clayton Blaisdell Jr., detto Blaze, è un gigante col cervello di un bambino. Era più un balordo che un deliquente, finché non ha incontrato George Rackley, un furbo "con tutte le risposte" con il quale ha formato una coppia anomala ma affiatata. Potrebbero essere due dei tanti emarginati che vivono di espedienti, ma alla testa pensante del duo è venuta un'idea grandiosa: fare i soldi sequestrando il figlio di ricchi possidenti; come i Gerard, per esempio, che sono pieni zeppi di dollari e il cui erede ancora poppante, Joe IV, vale milioni. Fatto il piano, una gelida notte di gennaio i due entrano in azione: Blaze, come sempre, è il braccio, George la mente. C'è solo un piccolo problema: George è morto tre mesi prima. Di chi è allora la voce che risuona sotto la fronte ammaccata di Blaze e gli suggerisce le mosse? Un fantasma? Il suo io intelligente? Ma se è così, perché vuole spingerlo a fare cose su cui lui non è affatto d'accordo? Questo libro scritto da Stephen King in gioventù, è uscito negli Stati Uniti con lo pseudonimo di Richard Bachman, con il quale l'autore ha firmato diversi romanzi. Una storia criminale pervasa di humour e tristezza, il cui protagonista è un cattivo struggente e patetico.

Insomnia

Stephen King · 2016

Marvelous—that is, full of marvels” (Booklist).<br/><br/>Since his wife died, Ralph Roberts has been having trouble sleeping. Each night he wakes up a bit earlier, until he’s barely sleeping at all. During his late night walks, he observes some strange things going on in Derry, Maine. He sees colored ribbons streaming from people’s heads, two strange little men wandering around town after dark, and more. He begins to suspect that these visions are something more than hallucinations brought on by lack of sleep.<br/><br/>There’s a definite mean streak running through this small New England city; underneath its ordinary surface awesome and terrifying forces are at work.

Now Ralph is part of it…and lack of sleep is the least of his worries.<br/><br/>Returning to the same Maine town where It took place, a town that has haunted Stephen King for decades, Insomnia blends King’s trademark bone-chilling realism with supernatural terror to create yet another masterpiece of suspense.

Holly

Stephen King · 2023

#1 New York Times Bestseller * New York Times Notable Book * NPR Best Book of the Year<br/><br/>Holly Gibney, one of Stephen King’s most compelling and resourceful characters, returns in this chilling novel to solve the gruesome truth behind multiple disappearances in a midwestern town.<br/><br/>“Sometimes the universe throws you a rope.” —BILL HODGES<br/><br/>Stephen King’s Holly marks the triumphant return of beloved King character Holly Gibney. Readers have witnessed Holly’s gradual transformation from a shy (but also brave and ethical) recluse in Mr. Mercedes to Bill Hodges’s partner in Finders Keepers to a full-fledged, smart, and occasionally tough private detective in The Outsider. In King’s new novel, Holly is on her own, and up against a pair of unimaginably depraved and brilliantly disguised adversaries.<br/><br/>When Penny Dahl calls the Finders Keepers detective agency hoping for help locating her missing daughter, Holly is reluctant to accept the case. Her partner, Pete, has Covid. Her (very complicated) mother has just died. And Holly is meant to be on leave. But something in Penny Dahl’s desperate voice makes it impossible for Holly to turn her down.<br/><br/>Mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. They are the picture of bourgeois respectability: married octogenarians, devoted to each other, and semi-retired lifelong academics. But they are harboring an unholy secret in the basement of their well-kept, book-lined home, one that may be related to Bonnie’s disappearance. And it will prove nearly impossible to discover what they are up to: they are savvy, they are patient, and they are ruthless.<br/><br/>Holly must summon all her formidable talents to outthink and outmaneuver the shockingly twisted professors in this chilling new masterwork from Stephen King.<br/><br/>“I could never let Holly Gibney go. She was supposed to be a walk-on character in Mr. Mercedes and she just kind of stole the book and stole my heart. Holly is all her.” —STEPHEN KING

Alberto Angela • 2010

<p>Che atmosfera si respirava per le strade di Roma? Cosa provava un gladiatore nell'arena del Colosseo? Quali erano i segreti delle matrone per farsi belle? Che cosa si mangiava durante i banchetti? È vero che spesso finivano con delle orge?<br> Molti libri parlano della storia dell'antica Roma, ma nessuno come questo è in grado di catapultare il lettore nell'atmosfera quotidiana della capitale dell'impero, dandogli realmente l'impressione di trovarsi nelle case o tra la folla nelle strade, per scoprire e indagare tutte le curiosità e i piccoli dettagli della vita dei suoi abitanti. La straordinaria esplorazione guidata da Alberto Angela, con la chiarezza, la competenza e il fascino del grande divulgatore, dura ventiquattr'ore e inizia all'alba di un giorno qualsiasi del 115 d.C. quando Roma è al culmine della sua potenza. Un racconto coinvolgente, ricco di atmosfere affascinanti e aneddoti curiosi, che condensa nell'arco di una giornata il risultato degli studi storici più rigorosi e dei dati raccolti in oltre quindici anni di riprese sui siti dell'antica Roma e del suo Impero.<br></p>

The Tearsmith

Erin Doom · 2024

Tra le mura del Grave, l'orfanotrofio in cui Nica è cresciuta, si raccontano da sempre storie e leggende a lume di candela. La più famosa è quella del fabbricante di lacrime, un misterioso artigiano dagli occhi chiari come il vetro, colpevole di aver forgiato tutte le paure e le angosce che abitano il cuore degli uomini. Ma a diciassette anni per Nica è giunto il momento di lasciarsi alle spalle le favole tetre dell'infanzia. Il suo sogno più grande, infatti, sta per avverarsi. I coniugi Milligan hanno avviatole pratiche per l'adozione e sono pronti a donarle la famiglia che ha sempre desiderato. Nella nuova casa, però, Nica non è da sola. Insieme a lei viene portato via dal Grave anche Rigel, un orfano inquieto e misterioso, l'ultima persona al mondo che Nica desidererebbe come fratello adottivo. Rigel è intelligente, scaltro, suona il pianoforte come un demone incantatore ed è dotato di una bellezza in grado di ammaliare, ma il suo aspetto angelico cela un'indole oscura. Anche se Nica e Rigel sono uniti da un passato comune di dolore e privazioni, la convivenza tra loro sembra impossibile. Soprattutto quando la leggenda torna a insinuarsi nelle loro vite e il fabbricante di lacrime si fa improvvisamente reale, sempre più vicino. Eppure Nica, dolce e coraggiosa, è disposta a tutto per difendere il suo sogno, perché solo se avrà il coraggio di affrontare gli incubi chela tormentano, potrà librarsi finalmente libera come la farfalla di cui porta il nome.

Orgoglio e pregiudizio

Jane Austen · 2018

Quando Elizabeth Bennet conosce Mr Darcy, scapolo ricco e in età da matrimonio, lo trova arrogante e presuntuoso. Ma questa è solo la prima impressione per la giovane brillante e libera che a differenza delle sorelle ha un sogno molto preciso: sposarsi per amore e non per calcolo. Il capolavoro di Jane Austen pubblicato nel 1813 non smette di essere letto, amato e adattato per il piccolo e il grande schermo. Le vicende delle cinque figlie di Mrs Bennet ci riportano nella campagna inglese del Derbyshire e nella Londra di fine Settecento, ma i fraintendimenti tra i personaggi mostrano con una lucidità senza tempo le logiche illogiche dell'amore.
