This first novel in The Deptford Trilogy introduces Ramsay, a man who returns from World War I decorated with the Victoria Cross but who is destined to be caught in a no man's land where memory, history, and myth collide. As we hear Ramsey tell his story, we begin to realize that, from childhood, he has influenced those around him in a perhaps mystical, perhaps pernicious way.

The nightmare home. We thought we'd found our haven, a cottage deep in the heart of the forest. Quaint, charming, maybe a little run-down, but so peaceful. The woodland animals and birds couldn't have been more neighbourly. That was the first part of the Magic. Midge's painting and my music soared to new heights of creativity. That was another part of the Magic. Our sensing, our feelings, our love for each other - well, that became the supreme Magic. But the cottage had an alternative side. The Bad Magic.

The novel revolves around the exploits of the impoverished but beautiful and devious Becky Sharp who craves wealth and a position in society. Calculating and determined to succeed, she charms, deceives and manipulates everyone she meets. A novel of early 19th-century English society, it takes its title from the place designated as the centre of human corruption in John Bunyan's 17th-century allegory.

On being kicked by life harder than he could ever imagine, Sachin had three options. He could look life in the eye and fight back. He could succumb and do something that would haunt him forever.

Dealing with the local police, resurrecting a dying shack, and managing rowdy parties, risking having his bones and jawline broken, does Sachin get what he was seeking?

Cabrera Infante aborda, de manera única y brillante, varios de sus amores, de sus obsesiones, y de sus temas: La Habana, el inglés, la literatura, la jerga de la cuidad, las habaneras, el cine, la música, y la "nostalgia de la noche". Ciertas novelas de horror y de intriga llevan la indicación de que no deben escucharse de noche. Tres tristes tigres tendría que llevar una banda sobre la cubierta que diga "Debe escucharse de noche", porque el audio libro es una celebración de la noche.

Cette biographie de la faim, de ce désir jamais rassasié, de cette quête qui n'a jamais de fin, Amélie Nothomb la décline sous toutes ses formes, du ravissement à l'horreur, avec brio, douleur, amour, humour et lucidité, pour dire ce terrible paradoxe d'exister. Il s'en dégage une puissance de vision, une perception fatale où l'absolu et sa dérision se côtoient. C'est une mise à nu éblouissante où l'auteur est le sujet de son œuvre et qui prouve ô combien qu'Amélie Nothomb est un de nos grands auteurs contemporains.

"Nessun uomo è un'isola, intero in se stesso; ciascuno è un pezzo del continente, una parte dell'oceano. Se una zolla di terra viene portata via dal mare, l'Europa ne è diminuita [...]; la morte di qualsiasi uomo mi diminuisce, perché sono preso nell'umanità, e perciò non mandar mai a chiedere per chi suona la campana; essa suona per te" (John Donne).
