Story
Struktureller Rassismus über Jahrhunderte: Eine Alternativ-Weltgeschichte Anna ist 20 Jahre alt und studiert Geschichtswissenschaft. Sie ist die Erste ihrer Familie, die es geschafft hat, eine Zulassung an der Hochschule zu erhalten. Denn für Weiße ist es eher ungewöhnlich, einen Studienplatz zu bekommen. Um nicht aufzufallen und diesem Privileg gerecht zu werden, verhält sich die junge Frau möglichst unauffällig.

Story
"Ho trentacinque anni, un buon lavoro, un bello stipendio, un appartamento al quarantesimo piano e vivo nella città più desiderata del mondo. Eppure sento che dentro questo quadro di luci e movimento non riesco più a trovare la mia dimensione. In realtà non so neanche bene quale sia stato il momento esatto in cui ho smesso di provare fiducia in New York, e in me stesso. Ma questa città è così: quando inizi a credere che tutto scorra senza motivo, lei ti sorprende e ti spiazza ancora una volta." Il protagonista di questa storia ha perso quell'indefinitezza ed entusiasmo adolescenziale.

Story
"Cos'è giusto? Se si vuole una cosa è giusto prendersela. Se si vuole fare una cosa è giusto farla". Sesso facile, cocaina, feste sempre più trasgressive, auto di lusso, rock a tutto volume: a Los Angeles i giovanissimi che frequentano l'ambiente patinato degli studios cinematografici hanno tutto e non desiderano più niente. In un mondo illuminato dai bagliori spettrali dei videoclip e svuotato di ogni sentimento, Clay, Blair, Daniel e Julian, biondi e abbronzati, esplorano le pieghe infernali del "paradiso" californiano in un crescendo di immoralità e devastazione interiore che presto sconfina nell'orrore.

Story
Che fine ha fatto Chiara, l'aspirante ma mancata gatta morta? L'abbiamo lasciata a trent'anni, senza uno straccio di fidanzato, e la ritroviamo a quarantacinque, ancora single. Com'è potuto accadere? Com'è arrivata a questa età senza sposarsi, fare figli, adeguarsi alla vita che sua madre e le zie, anche quelle degli altri, prevedevano per lei? Per capirlo Chiara si racconta, ai lettori e all'analista, ripercorrendo gli ultimi dieci anni: il trasferimento a Milano, dove sperava di accasarsi e invece ha trovato sciami di gay, il lavoro in una città che per certi versi le è ostile.

Story
Irène è francese ma vive a Bad Arolsen, nel cuore della Germania, e dal 1990 lavora in un centro di documentazione dove, dalla fine della guerra, si conducono ricerche sul destino delle vittime del regime nazista. Il centro era stato concepito dalle potenze alleate che avevano previsto come, sparato l’ultimo colpo di artiglieria, il mondo si sarebbe trovato di fronte a milioni di scomparsi di cui indagare le sorti. Per quell’impiego, cui è approdata rispondendo a un annuncio, Irène scopre in realtà un’autentica vocazione.

Story
Kör Baykuş’un yirminci yüzyılın en büyük romanlarından biri sayılmasının nedenini ve Andre Breton’un bu roman için “Başyapıt diye bir şey varsa o da budur!” cümlesini neden kurduğunu anlayabilmek için yaşadığınız sanatsal haz ve kilitli kapılar kesinlikle yeterli değildir. Romanın duygusal etkisi biraz hafiflediğinde aklınızın, felsefenin, psikolojinin, sosyolojinin kılavuzluğunda, tekinsiz bir yolculuğa çıkmanız gerekecek. Anlamın yeniden, yeniden üretileceği, her yorumsamanın bir diğerine kapı açacağı bir metindir bu.

Story
Viola hasn't had much luck with men. Her first husband, Marco, companion of her youth and father of her only child, left her when he realised he was gay. Her second, Rhys, ended his high-octane, fame-filled life by driving his Porsche into a wall. No wonder her family always believes she needs looking after, and her friends think she really shouldn't be allowed out on her own...Which is why, at the age of thirty-five, she finds herself shamefully back at home, living with Mum.

Story
Mr Phillips wakes on the morning of July 31st in his modest, nearly mortgage-free home, in the bed he has contentedly shared with his wife of 30 years - though to be honest, at night he lies beside her and dreams of other women. He's ready to face another ordinary day. Except that for Mr Phillips, it is not an ordinary day, for on July 28th, he was summarily sacked. Nonetheless, he rises at his usual hour and prepares himself as he has done his entire working life for the office he no longer has.

Story
Obra literária obrigatória para os vestibulares UEL 2025 e UFSC 2025. Um texto épico e lírico, realista e mágico que revela, para além de sua trama, um poderoso elemento de insubordinação social. Nas profundezas do sertão baiano, as irmãs Bibiana e Belonísia encontram uma velha e misteriosa faca na mala guardada sob a cama da avó. Ocorre então um acidente. E para sempre suas vidas estarão ligadas — a ponto de uma precisar ser a voz da outra. Numa trama conduzida com maestria e com uma prosa melodiosa, o romance conta uma história de vida e morte, de combate e redenção.

Story
It's the glittering 80s and Lucinda Cowper, Elizabeth Beaumont, and Flora Fielding feel happy and secure in the power and pleasure of wealth. Nothing could have prepared them for a devastating financial scandal, which turns the boom to bust. The crash takes away their hope, their self-respect, and for some, it destroys even more. Facing bleak futures, affairs begin, lies are spun, relationships are pushed to breaking point, and within the year someone will be dead. But who? And why?

Story
C’est un endroit à l’abri du temps. Ce minuscule hameau, qu’on appelle Les Montées, est un pays à lui seul pour les jumelles Ambre et Aelis, et la vieille Rose. Ici, l’existence n’a jamais été douce. Les familles travaillent une terre avare qui appartient à d’autres, endurent en serrant les dents l’injustice. Mais c’est ainsi depuis toujours. Jusqu’au jour où surgit Madelaine. Une fillette affamée et sauvage, sortie des forêts. Adoptée par Les Montées, Madelaine les ravit, passionnée, courageuse, si vivante. Pourtant, il reste dans ses yeux cette petite flamme pas tout à fait droite.
