Book Description
How would you stay if you found a moai at the doorway when you got home? You'd be pretty surprised, right? You would think that you are hallucinating or, failing that, that someone is playing a joke on you. Something like this is what happened to me that day after being fired by the company where I worked. And it was only the beginning of a turbulent week that I have tried to collect in these pages so that, if you ever see yourself in a similar situation, you at least know what to expect. This is my story, but it could also be yours, or that of any other because, after all, who has not ever needed the occurrence of an extraordinary event, the crossing of an unexpected and grandiloquent event, to take a step forward in your life? Who hasn't required a little outside help to jump into an unattainable-looking dream? Don't wait any longer and join me in this original adventure set in the Malasaña neighborhood! Not every day there is a moai waiting for you!

Book Description
This book presents a semiotic study of the re-elaboration of Christian narratives and values in a corpus of Italian novels published after the Second Vatican Council (1960s). It tackles the complex set of ideas expressed by Italian writers about the biblical narration of human origins and traditional religious language and ritual, the perceived clash between the immanent and transcendent nature and role of the Church, and the problematic notion of sanctity emerging from contemporary narrative.

Book Description
There are certain books that are not like the others. Books that contain more than a handful of related pages linked only by the excuse of coherence. Writings that beat under their tinted cardboard shell, harboring feelings so warm that the reader often has the feeling of consuming them under his own skin. Orissa is one of those books. A colorful and captivating literary walk that will immediately transport you to colonial India in the early twentieth century. There you will live a beautiful, enigmatic and exciting story in which the conjuration and ambition merge with intense and close feelings. Orissa is able to defoliate in the alternation of its narrative torrent the visceral and the sensual, the raw and the delicate, the most entrenched hatred and unconditional love. Let Orissa return your passion for reading.

Book Description
India, late 19th century. Two thugs break into a hut around midnight, and without explanation, they kill the gravedigger who sleeps inside. Then, they set the building on fire with his son inside and disappear without a trace. In spite of everything, the young pariah manages to escape miraculously from the flames and saves his life. Stunned and confused, the boy arrives at an old nearby abbey, whose monks soon take pity on him and offer him shelter. During the following years, Nagesh grows under the protection of the religious, from whom he receives food and a good education. However, his peaceful monastic life fails to mitigate the desire for revenge that has emerged in his head since that night. A very difficult desire to realize, on the other hand, since from day one, and without revealing the reasons, the bishop who heads the congregation prohibits Nagesh from setting foot outside the monastery. Gradually, the veto will become increasingly unbearable, especially after, in a furtive getaway, Nagesh meets Shefali, a beautiful Hindu girl who sells flowers in the market. But the bishop can no longer yield, he fears that the boy ends up discovering the sickly secret that encloses the past and, with it, the designs that show books, temples and constellations that light up the sky finally come true.

Author: Antonio Tabucchi Publisher: New Directions Publishing ISBN: 9780811215176 Category : Fiction Languages : en Pages : 116
Book Description
Antonio Tabucchi's novel Requiem is set in Lisbon on a torrid July day. The unnamed narrator - clearly a persona of Tabucchi himself - awaits a midnight appointment on a quay of the Tagus. His time is filled with a succession of encounters with residents of the Portuguese capital, and with late friends and relations. Part travelog, part autobiography, part fiction, Requiem at once becomes a homage to a country and a people and a farewell to the past; requiescat in pace. In all this, the narrator himself remains shadowy, walking in a dream atmosphere. The midnight appointment approaches. The narrator meets at last with another unnamed writer, now long dead, though the evidence points to the great poet Fernando Pessoa. Requiem thus ends as an act of succession, the narrator's claim to a literary forebear who, like himself, is of evasive and manifold personalities.
