Undermajordomo minor
En Anglais – Lucy Minor is the resident odd duck in the hamlet of Bury. He is a compulsive liar, a sickly weakling in a town famous for begetting brutish giants. Then Lucy accepts employment assisting the majordomo of the remote, foreboding Castle Von Aux. While tending to his new post as undermajordomo, he soon discovers the place harbours many dark secrets, not least of which is the whereabouts of the castle's master, Baron Von Aux. Thus begins a tale of polite theft, bitter heartbreak, domestic mystery, and cold-blooded murder. Undermajordomo Minor is an ink-black comedy of manners, an adventure, and a mystery, and a searing portrayal of rural Alpine bad behaviour, but above all it is a love story. And Lucy must be careful, for love is a violent thing.
Il giovane holden
En italien – Sono passati più di sessant'anni da quando è stato scritto, ma continuiamo a vederlo, Holden Caufield, con quell'aria scocciata, insofferente alle ipocrisie e al conformismo, lui e tutto quello che gli è cascato addosso dal giorno in cui lasciò l'Istituto Pencey con una bocciatura in tasca e nessuna voglia di farlo sapere ai suoi. La trama è tutta qui, narrata da quella voce spiccia e senza fronzoli. Ma sono i suoi pensieri, il suo umore rabbioso, ad andare in scena. Perché è arrabbiato Holden? Poiché non lo si sa con precisione, ciascuno vi ha letto la propria rabbia, ha assunto il protagonista a « exemplum vitae », e ciò ne ha decretato l'immenso successo che dura tuttora. Torna, in una nuova traduzione di Matteo Colombo, il libro che ha sconvolto il corso della letteratura contemporanea influenzando l'immaginario collettivo e stilistico del Novecento.
The Golden Egg
En Anglais – In The Golden Egg, as the first leaves of autumn begin to fall, Vice Questore Patta asks Brunetti to look into a minor shop-keeping violation committed by the mayor's future daughter-in-law. Brunetti has no interest in helping his boss amass political favors, but he has little choice but to comply. Then Brunetti's wife, Paola, comes to him with a request of her own. The mentally handicapped man who worked at their dry cleaner has just died of a sleeping pill overdose, and Paola loathes the idea that he lived and died without anyone noticing him, or helping him.Brunetti begins to investigate the death and is surprised when he finds nothing on the man: no birth certificate, no passport, no driver's license, no credit cards. As far as the Italian government is concerned, he never existed. Stranger still, the dead man's mother refuses to speak to the police, and assures Brunetti that her son's identification papers were stolen in a burglary.
