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 . . . .
Cool !
En Anglais – One day Robbie is hit by a car while running after his dog, Lucky. Unconscious, Robbie lies in hospital, unable to speak, move or eat. But he can hear; he is aware.

Until one day, against hospital rules, Dad brings Lucky into the hospital. Can Lucky bring Robbie back to life ?

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.
