I like sex. Kinky sex. The kinkier the better. Every day, it's all I think about as I serve coffee and hand out business agendas to men who have no idea I'm not the prim, proper girl they think I am. With a day job as the secretary to one of New York's most powerful men, Hudson Pierce, I have to keep my double life quiet. As long as I do, it's not a problem. Enter: Nathan Sinclair. Tall, dark, and handsome doesn't come close to describing how hot he is. And that's with his clothes on.

When acclaimed mystery writer Dorothy L. Sayers first began compiling anthologies of the best crime stories in the 1920s and ’30s, the genre was in the flush of its first golden age. While it is hard to imagine today - after every possible mystery plot has been told, retold, subverted, and played straight again by hundreds of writers over nearly a century - in Sayers’s day there were still twists that had never been seen, and machinations of crime that would shock even jaded Jazz Age fans.

Il potere è nelle loro mani. Un grande thriller. Firenze. Si è scatenato il panico nella prestigiosa casa d'aste Paolini: è appena esplosa una bomba e il salone ha preso fuoco. Un gruppo di paramilitari, approfittando della confusione, si introduce nei sotterranei del palazzo e si impossessa del misterioso lotto 302, custodito in un grosso baule di alluminio. Contemporaneamente, Andreas Henkel, agente del Servizio Segreto Vaticano, si trova a far fronte a un evento scioccante e imprevisto.

"Al mattino la superficie del fiume splende come se migliaia di fogli d'oro stropicciati scorressero sull'acqua." Sei bozzoli di preziosa seta esistenziale. Sei fili tesi dal destino. Sei racconti intorno al tempo, alla guarigione, al fato. Sei racconti tessuti in una Tokyo sfolgorante di luci notturne e pulsante di vita. Tutti feriti, chi da un trauma infantile, chi da un abbandono, chi da una storia d'amore tormentata, i protagonisti si sono chiusi in un guscio che li protegge ma insieme li separa dal mondo.

In this collection of Rumpole stories the comic, courageous, and corpulent 'great defender of muddled and sinful humanity' is joined by a winning cast of villains and victims in tales whose wry humour and sparkling wit deftly send up the legal system. In Rumpole and the Angel of Death our hero achieves resounding triumphs over the forces of prejudice and mean-mindedness. Rumpole and the Way through the Woods involves Rumpole in the world of hunters and the hunted, animal rights and human wrongs.

He aquí algunos textos, breves, muy breves porque son los cortos pasos en el caminar, los pequeños eslabones de la vida y la muerte del hombre. A veces somos arrastrados ("ya no camino / el camino me lleva"); otras, el futuro es deseado como desea el ladrón lo robado ("cada nuevo día / es un regalo") y con frecuencia asalta el dolor, la duda o la insatisfacción ("Piensas una cosa / deseas otras / amas otra / haces otra cosa"). Con todo persiste siempre la esperanza y el deseo del más allá ("la eternidad cada día mendiga mi confi anza").

Cradle isn’t over yet. Lindon’s journey may have ended, but there are still more tales to tell. The stories in this collection will show you the world after Cradle, those left behind, and even some legends from long ago. Witness the first Uncrowned King tournament. Visit the Monarchs and their voyages in the lands beyond. Get to know the Abidan in their homes, and meet the people of new worlds as they cross paths with familiar faces. And, of course, check in on some old friends.

Per la prima volta insieme questi racconti, già apparsi in varie antologie a tema, ci restituiscono un ritratto del vicequestore Rocco Schiavone. Sono cinque tessere che contribuiscono a definire il personaggio per chi già lo conosce e servono come una presentazione per chi non l’ha mai letto: un poliziotto scontroso, trasgressivo, ruvido, spesso ai limiti della brutalità, conosce però il cuore degli uomini e sa sempre da che parte stare.

John Barth's lively, highly original collection of short pieces is a major landmark of experimental fiction. Though many of the stories gathered here were published separately, there are several themes common to them all, giving them new meaning in the context of this collection.

Ao construir seus textos a partir de um ponto de vista essencialmente feminino, preto e periférico, Cidinha oferece ao gênero uma abordagem diferenciada. Mas Cidinha não é só cronista. Suas diversas facetas desembocam em gêneros como o conto, a poesia, a literatura para crianças e o texto teatral.

Tres muy mexicanas historias de amor que giran alrededor de dos canciones, narradas por catorce gatos.

Detengámonos en la «avidez», la nuestra y la de otros. La de todos. El deseo, la ansiedad, la ambición, la codicia. Lina Meruane nos expone a los sentidos materiales y metafóricos de esta palabra a través de una multitud de madres e hijas insaciables, de hermanas incisivas, de amigas y amantes afiladas así como de hombres salvajes y animales cuya hambre alimenta el amor y el odio, la miseria y el castigo, el resentimiento, el perdón. Un universo obsesivo por el que discurren objetos que cobran vida, cuerpos que la pierden, que se mutilan y se desgajan.

Un librero, un hombre vestido de azul, una ministra de Hacienda, un televendedor, una señora, una adivina, cazadores cazados, un masajista, un minuto en la vida de un hombre, un minuto en la vida de una mujer, un señor registrador, una madre que se fue, un don Pío, un chapuzas, Alejandría contra Babel... prepárese para disfrutar con más de sesenta relatos donde la cocina y el buen vino juegan un nutricio papel, prepárese para reír, mirar entre las rendijas de los armarios, oler el amor, cocer unas lágrimas o saborear la buena venganza, prepárese para gozar.

Per la prima volta insieme tre brevi gialli ambientati in Sicilia, tre storie da tempo introvabili, che confermano lo straordinario talento inventivo...

Con trazo lírico, despojado e irónico, Katya Adaui ensaya su teoría de la paternidad: un mapa opaco en el que los seres humanos rastrean con fuerza e inteligencia cómo sobrevivir a la crianza. Pudorosos ante lo íntimo, apaciguados con los parecidos, enervados por lo familiar, esquivan los golpes, afrontan los abandonos y buscan cualquier prueba de ternura y felicidad para redimirlos. Porque en Geografía de la oscuridad son los hijos y las hijas quienes conocen la verdad de ese disfraz al que llamamos padre.
