Dice llamarse Gregori Makarov, haber tocado el acordeón siendo niño ante Stalin y vivir una imposible historia de amor que le llevó a ser internado en el terrible campo de trabajo del Kolimá, uno de los lugares más lejanos e inhóspitos de Siberia, de donde no se salía vivo. Pero él sobrevivió, y su vida fue contada por un periodista, hasta que se descubrió que había sido engañado. Que no era verdad, pero tampoco mentira, que su existencia se había construido, como tantas otras, con retazos de lo que puede saberse y lo que hay que ocultar.

Partisan de la position allongée, Oblomov ne trouve le bonheur que dans le sommeil. Ni son ami Stolz, incarnation de l'énergie et de l'esprit d'entreprise, ni la belle Olga avec qui se nouera l'embryon d'une idylle, ne parviendront à le tirer de sa léthargie. Entreprendre et aimer sont décidément choses trop fatigantes. Grand roman de mœurs, Oblomov offre une satire mordante des petits fonctionnaires et des barines russes.

Still bruised and heartbroken from their last calamitous quest, Gorm Ingerson and his band of washed-up heroes try to make amends for the orcs they accidentally betrayed. But justice is put on hold when an old foe marches to the city gates. Gorm is horrified to discover a liche pitching the frightened city-dwellers on the merits of the undead lifestyle...at the head of a corpse army. To save the city from high-pressure sales tactics and an inevitable siege, the dwarf warrior and his misfit band hatch a harebrained scheme that lands them at the top of the king’s kill list.

Barney Panofsky - Canadian expat, wily lover of women, writer, television producer, raconteur - is finally putting pen to paper so he can rebut the charges about him made in his rival’s autobiography. Whether it’s ranting about his bohemian misadventures during the 1950s in Paris, his tumultuous three marriages, or his successful trashy TV company, Totally Unnecessary Productions, he quickly proves that his memory may be slipping, but his bile isn’t.

Gorm Ingerson knows the king is a fink. With the land’s insidious ruler hell-bent on his destruction, the axe-wielding Dwarf berserker is desperate to beat him to the punch. But when he discovers the rotten regent’s claim of a town razed by the world’s richest dragon is false, the gruff adventurer fears there’s more than a personal grudge at stake.

Meet Rabo Karabekian, a moderately successful surrealist painter who we meet late in life and see struggling (like all of Vonnegut's key characters) with the dregs of unresolved pain and the consequences of brutality. Loosely based on the legend of Bluebeard (best realized in Bela Bartok's one-act opera), the novel follows Karabekian through the last events in his life that is heavy with women, painting, artistic ambition, artistic fraudulence, and as of yet unknown consequence.

Je traîne ma grosse couverte jusque dans le salon et je m’écrase en bobettes sur mon vieux sofa moelleux. Je scrolle Instagram: des gens qui brunchent, des gens qui cuisinent santé, des gens qui gravissent des montagnes, des gens qui lisent, des gens qui se promènent en amoureux dans le Vieux-Port. Moi, mes cheveux gras, mon haleine de cheval et mon trait d’eye-liner d’y a deux jours, on se sent soudainement pas pire pathétiques.

From the publisher of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies comes a new tale of romance, heartbreak, and tentacled mayhem. Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters expands the original text of the beloved Jane Austen novel with all-new scenes of giant lobsters, rampaging octopi, two-headed sea serpents, and other biological monstrosities.

Eugene Debs Hartke describes an odyssey from college professor to prison inmate to prison warden back again to prisoner in another of Vonnegut's bitter satirical explorations of how and where (and why) the American dream begins to die. Employing his characteristic narrative device - a retrospective diary in which the protagonist retraces his life at its end, a desperate and disconnected series of events here in Hocus Pocus show Vonnegut with his mask off and his rhetorical devices unshielded.

With cutting wit, fierce conviction, and surprising empathy, Vonnegut explores a diverse range of topics including society, politics, sex, literature, and mortality. Fans who believe they've read all of Vonnegut's work will be delighted to find the author speaking frankly about timely and relevant new topics - with an amusing yet insightful style that's instantly recognizable.

Walter Starbuck, a career humanist and eventual low-level aide in the Nixon White House, is implicated in Watergate and jailed, after which he (like Howard Campbell in Mother Night) works on his memoirs. Starbuck is innocent (his office was used as a base for the Watergate shenanigans of which he had no knowledge), and yet he is not innocent (he has collaborated with power unquestioningly and served societal order all his life). He represents another Vonnegut Everyman caught amongst forces he neither understands nor can defend.

In this self-portrait by an American genius, Kurt Vonnegut writes with beguiling wit and poignant wisdom about his favorite comedians, country music, a dead friend, a dead marriage, and various cockamamie aspects of his all-too-human journey through life. This is a work that resonates with Vonnegut's singular voice: the magic sound of a born storyteller mesmerizing us with truth.

Cosa avrebbe da dire un girino che abita uno stagno all'arrogante che cerca in tutti i modi di contaminare l'acqua? E cosa pensano davvero le acciughe sui banconi dei bar liguri di questa tra- dizione alimentare? Com'è, insomma, la vita in questo mondo alla rovescia in cui gli animali e le sirene parlano, si lamentano dell'uomo, lo sfidano e lo contrastano?

Galahad Threepwood, brother of the Earl of Emsworth, is busily engaged in writing his Reminiscences, and they look set to be as warm as the weather, if not warmer.

She knows she's only there because the owner, Grayson Cole, is her older sister's friend. Three minutes. For the last seven years, Grayson has been the most intimidating man Cammie has ever had the pleasure - or displeasure - of being around.

Naufragaba entre manuscritos de crónica del Concurso del Libro Sonorense. Tocó su turno a No toda la sangre es roja. Aquí apesta a puro noir, me dije mientras apuraba un Jack Daniel’s. Quien bautiza su trabajo con un nombre pateador tiene su primer gol anotado antes de entrar a la cancha. Este canijo es un muertero. Un tipo duro, aunque por fortuna no una máquina registradora de estadísticas criminales, porque cuando el muerto se vuelve un número condenado a ser nota de cuatro párrafos, muere por segunda vez.
