Story
Few things, even in literature, can really be said to be unique — but Moby Dick is truly unlike anything written before or since. The novel is nominally about the obsessive hunt by the crazed Captain Ahab of the book’s eponymous white whale. But interspersed in that story are digressions, paradoxes, philosophical riffs on whaling and life, and a display of techniques so advanced for its time that some have referred to the 1851 Moby Dick as the first “modern” novel. (Summary by Stewart Wills)

Story
Prince Stepan Kasatsky experiences a disappointment with his fiancé and decides to become a monk! There is a story line, but beneath it, Father Sergius struggles to find peace and, if not happiness, then at least contentment. But he is always disillusioned and ultimately unsatisfied. Only in the end does he find his way by letting go of what he struggled to attain all his life, i.e. to be better than everyone else in whatever he did, and settle for the mundane.

Considered the most important work of Italian literature, the poem has also has enormous historical influence on western literature and culture more generally.

Story
Publication of The Kreutzer Sonata in 1889 was a significant intellectual event worldwide. Censored in Russia, it set off an explosive debate in Europe, America, and Asia on matters relating to sexual abstinence and the hypocrisy of marriage. The novella emphasizes Tolstoy's controversial view on sexuality, which asserts that physical desire is an obstacle to relations between men and women and may result in tragedy. The Kreutzer Sonata has been recognized as among the best examples of Tolstoy's art of storytelling.(Introduction by Dorlene Kaplan)

Elogio delle penne lisce e dichiarazione di odio per le penne rigate [Praise of Smooth Pens and Declaration of Hatred for Penne Rigate]

Story
Le penne nascono lisce e solo lisce. A Napoli c'è la tradizione, che ormai ha assunto caratteristiche di vera e propria venerazione, dello zito. Lo zito è un formato di pasta lunga di forma circolare con un grosso buco in mezzo. Quando lo si spezza in due o più segmenti e lo si manda a svenire nell'acqua bollente salata, lo zito produce dei frammenti di pasta piccolissimi che non si buttano via, nossignori, che lo spreco è peccato mortale, e poi è bello stare ancora quei cinque-dieci minuti a tavola per ripescarli nel condimento.

Sòglion dire, i livornesi, di lor stessi medesimi, che "a Livorno un ci s'avrà nulla, ma siamo tanto ignoranti!" E hanno ragion da vendere, costretti come sono a guardare il mare dagli scogli puntuti e malmessi della loro costa, unica consolazione per un popolo afflitto e miserevole. Rapidi all'ira, lenti al comprendonio, bestemmiator feroci de' santi e delle madonne d'ogn'ispecie, i livornesi son soprattutto poveri.

Story
The Voice in the Desert, beyond a skillfully written novel, is also a series of notes masterfully expressed by the amazing pen of Valerio di Stefano. Valerio, already author of several books, all of literary and philanthropic inspiration, is also a philologist, skill perfectly shown in this work. A work that is capable of completely immersing us in the illusory and, at times, oniric universe of Don Fiorentino, a parish priest of an unknown village who has a great passion: the classics of Italian and foreign literature.
