Trainspotting
En italien – Un pugno di ragazzi a Edimburgo e dintorni: il sesso, lo sballo, la rabbia, il vuoto delle giornate. Sono i dannati di un modernissimo inferno « chimico », con la loro vita sfilacciata e senza scampo. Alla ricerca di un riscatto, di un senso da dare alla propria esistenza – che non sia il vicolo cieco fatto di casa, famiglia e impiego ordinario – trovano nella droga e nella violenza l’unica risposta possibile. Sboccato, indiavolato, travolgente: l’esordio di un talento letterario, il romanzo shock che ha fatto epoca e dato voce a una nuova generazione.
The black country
En Anglais – When members of a prominent family disappear from a coal-mining village—and a human eyeball is discovered in a bird’s nest—the local constable sends for help from Scotland Yard’s new Murder Squad. Fresh off the grisly 1889 murders of The Yard, Inspector Walter Day and Sergeant Nevil Hammersmith respond, but they have no idea what they’re about to get into. The villagers have intense, intertwined histories. Everybody bears a secret. Superstitions abound. And the village itself is slowly sinking into the mines beneath it. Not even the arrival of forensics pioneer Dr. Bernard Kingsley seems to help. In fact, the more the three of them investigate, the more they realize they may never be allowed to leave . . . .
La Reine morte
La Reine morte est une pièce de théâtre d'Henry de Montherlant écrite en 1942 et représentée pour la première fois le 8 décembre 1942 à la Comédie-Française dans une mise en scène de Pierre Dux avec Jean-Louis Barrault et Madeleine Renaud. C'est une des pièces les plus connues de l'auteur, qui développe le thème classique de l'amour contrarié par la raison d'État. Cette pièce est librement inspirée de l'histoire des rois de Portugal Alphonse IV et Pierre Ier et d'Inés de Castro, d'après le drame espagnol Reinar después de morir, Régner après sa mort, de Luis Velez de Guevara.
Man and Superman, Arms and the Man, …..
En Anglais – 1898. Most of Shaw’s early plays were either banned by the censor or refused production. With Plays: Pleasant and Unpleasant he sought a reading audience. He also began the practice of writing the challenging, mocking, eloquent prefaces to his plays, which were sometimes longer than the play itself. This volume contains the Unpleasant: Widowers’ Houses; The Philanderer; and Mrs. Warren’s Profession.
