In this third title in the Father Gabriel Mystery series, the detective priest is less than pleased to find himself the reluctant guest at a wealthy local family's Christmas party. Only the excellent - and probably black-market - food softens the horror of meeting the odious Victor Gladstone, veteran reporter, ardent anti-clerical, and the only witness to a war-time massacre no one wishes to hear about. When Victor is found dead on the Martin estate the next morning, the apparent victim of an unfortunate accident, Gabriel once again finds himself drawn into the mystery.

"S-a scris mult și bine despre strălucitoarea îmbinare genetică din ființa Reginei Maria. Atunci când gustul rusesc pentru fast, ceremonial și spații infinite se unește cu infailibilul fler imperial britanic, cultul victoriei și al onoarei, e limpede că rezultatul va fi unul invincibil și spectaculos."

Millions of people–looking to cheat on their partners–signed up for Ashley Madison in the early 2000s, seeking a private space to share their public desires. The promise of discretion was shattered in the summer of 2015, when anonymous hackers stole the company’s cache of user information and published it worldwide. The result? One of the most shocking data breaches of the internet age. Overnight, millions of unfaithful spouses had their real names, addresses and sexual preferences published online in a searchable database that anyone could browse.

The story is told by a young 'unknown soldier' in the trenches of Flanders during the First World War. Through his eyes we see all the realities of war: under fire, on patrol, waiting in the trenches, at home on leave, and in hospitals and dressing stations. Although there are vividly described incidents which remain in the mind, there is no sense of adventure here, only the feeling of youth betrayed and a deceptively simple indictment of war—of any war—told for a whole generation of victims.

Unstoppable is the fiercely honest, fearless, darkly funny autobiography of global tennis star Maria Sharapova. In the middle of the night, a father and his daughter step off a Greyhound bus in Florida and head straight to the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy. They ring the bell, though no-one is expecting them and they don't speak English. They have arrived from Russia with just 700 dollars and the conviction that this six-year-old girl will be the world's next great tennis star. They are right.

The year is 1928. On the outskirts of a large German city, three young men are earning a thin and precarious living. Fully armed young storm troopers swagger in the streets. Restlessness, poverty, and violence are everywhere. For these three, friendship is the only refuge from the chaos around them. Then the youngest of them falls in love and brings into the group a young woman who will become a comrade as well, as they are all tested in ways they can have never imagined.

England is overrun by dragons of all shapes and sizes. Most people are blissfully unaware of them and the Pendragon Treaty that keeps the peace between human and dragon kind.

Uno studente di Tōkyō intraprende un viaggio solitario nella pittoresca penisola di Izu: spera di trovare sollievo ai propri tormenti.

In un delicato equilibrio tra lo scenario idilliaco di Izu e le dinamiche emotive fra i due, Kawabata esplora il tema della bellezza effimera e dell'innocenza perduta, catturando con maestria la fugacità del momento.

Il mondo, per Rossella Dragna, ha sempre avuto i confini della minuscola isola dove vive insieme alla sorella Tella e al potente, crudele padre. Se ha sopportato questi anni di forzato esilio è stato grazie al sogno di partecipare a Caraval, uno spettacolo itinerante misterioso quanto leggendario in cui il pubblico partecipa attivamente; purtroppo, l’imminente, combinato matrimonio a cui il padre la sta costringendo significa la rinuncia anche a quella possibilità di fuga.

Il questore ha chiesto al commissario Antonio Mariani di indagare su alcune lettere minatorie indirizzate a Claudio Corani, noto imprenditore genovese e unico proprietario della C&C. Non è un incarico, ma un “favore personale”. Mariani accantona l’irritazione e incontra Alberta, la moglie di Corani, perché è stata lei a rivolgersi al questore. Sente anche Stefania Costanzi, la segretaria dell’imprenditore, che è stata la prima a leggerle. Sembra che le minacce siano la conseguenza di un incidente in cui, nell’autunno, ha perso la vita Franco Ratto, un giovane camionista appena assunto.
