Kafka Açlık Sanatçısı nı ilk olarak 1922 yılında Die neue Rundschau adlı Alman edebiyat dergisinde hikaye olarak yayımladı. Açlık Sanatçısı'nın da içinde olduğu bu grup, Kafka'nın bizzat yayına hazırladığı son hikayeleriydi. Açlık bir sanat olabilir mi? Sanatçının kendini 'sanatçı' hissetmesi ya da 'var olduğunu' düşünmesi tamamen insanların onun sanatına olan ilgileri ile doğru orantılı mıdır? Aynı kafesete bir insan mı yoksa bir panter mi daha çok ilgi çeker? Panterden zevk almak için hiçbir felsefeye gerek yoktur ve fizikselliği açlık sanatçısından çok daha etkileyicidir.

A collection of twenty short stories inspired by and featuring medieval engravings. Although the pictures are all medieval, some stories occur in the present or future. Aside from other things, I had Mörk Borg, CY_BORG, and Death in Space on my mind. Let yourself be abducted into a world of terraformed androids, organ-based dialogs, unclean revivals, psilocybin-induced travels into the demonlands, and much more.

Dans cette toute première œuvre de Stefan Zweig, empreinte de délicatesse, l’auteur capture avec justesse la mélancolie des souvenirs et la douceur des rêves évanouis. Sous le soleil éclatant d’une villa en bord de mer, une femme et un homme se retrouvent après de longues années d’éloignement. Leur conversation, d’abord empreinte de légèreté, ravive bientôt les échos d’une jeunesse lointaine, d’un amour effacé par le temps mais jamais complètement éteint.

These historical fiction stories take the listener on a journey into the most tragic time in our history—the Civil War. Arranged along a rough timeline of the period, they cover a broad area of mood and events and range from a young man’s escape from an outlaw gang in Missouri to join a North Carolina regiment back home, to the discovery of Lee’s lost orders by a Union sergeant, to a boy too curious about war, to a young woman who has dressed like a man to join her brother in the war, to enemies who become friends over a fishing hole.

All'apparenza il racconto di un'esperienza scolastica, un semplice aneddoto con un inizio appena abbozzato ma privo di un reale finale, all'apparenza molte cose innocenti... di fatto un racconto intenso e pregno delle sensazioni provate durante la Guerra Civile Spagnola e l'immediato periodo del dopoguerra; una storia che non ha un inizio, perché già noto, e che non ha fine, perché era ancora in via di sviluppo quando il racconto fu pubblicato, confrontando più o meno velatamente vincitori e vinti; una storia piena di cose innocenti solo in apparenza.

¿Puede separarse la memoria de la imaginación? ¿No es toda historia individual una forma de historia social? José Ovejero usa esas dos preguntas para construir un mundo a la vez propio y ajeno, autobiografía y ficción, sin que los límites estén siempre claros. "Mientras estamos muertos"...

El protagonista de esta espiral de incertidumbre ha resucitado por equivocación una leyenda que acabará por devorarle. El fantasma de un adolescente asesinado treinta años atrás en un remoto cementerio de submarinos se convierte de pronto en el sanguinario paladín de una libertad que nadie...

Arnold Bennett was born in 1867 in Hanley one of the six towns that formed the Potteries that later joined together to become Stoke on Trent; the area in which most of his works are located. At the turn of the century he turned full time to writing and shortly thereafter in 1903 he moved to Paris and in 1908 published to great acclaim The Old Wives Tale. With this his reputation was set. Clayhanger and The Old Wives Tale are perhaps his greatest and most lauded novels.
