Summer on Fire: A Detroit Novel is set in the Motor City during the hot summer of 1967. Its characters are thrust into tumultuous episodes of the 1967 Detroit Rebellion, anti-war demonstrations, rock and roll at the Grande Ballroom, drugs, anarchism, the White Panther Party, Wilhelm Reich, and a bomb plot that an editor of the Metro Times wrote, provides “a people’s history and radical folklore of Detroit”. The setting is seven weeks in a critical year that demanded ethical choices by all involved, ones which mirror today’s crises.

"Il carcere", pubblicato nel 1948 con "La casa in collina" sotto il titolo comune "Prima che il gallo canti", è una storia di privata solitudine. Pavese racconta in terza persona l'esperienza autobiografica della condanna al soggiorno obbligato a Brancaleone Calabro per aver cercato di proteggere la donna amata, militante del PCI.

Boris Pahor, scrittore sloveno e cittadino italiano, non si colloca nel panorama letterario europeo come autore di un solo libro; altri capolavori segnano il suo percorso creativo che ruota in prevalenza intorno al destino della gente slovena nel Novecento e alle suggestioni di una città elusiva e ammaliatrice come Trieste. La prima di queste opere è la raccolta di racconti Il rogo nel porto, che non solo lievita ai livelli più alti della grande letteratura europea ma prelude a quasi tutta la restante produzione dell’autore quanto a temi e motivi ispiratori.

Hvorfor bedøver vi hunde og katte ved kastrering, men ikke grise? Hvorfor er det okay at spise køer, men ikke hunde? Hvorfor befrier vi elefanter fra et liv i cirkus, men hænger levende kyllinger op på slagterkroge. Det er nogle af de spørgsmål romanens hovedperson, Lava, stiller sig selv og sine omgivelser. Sammen med sin gode ven Valdemar forsøger hun at råbe det danske samfund op, men sandheden er som bekendt ilde hørt, og det er nemmere at lukke øjne og ører end at ændre vaner.

The last great 19th-century Russian novelist brings his symbolism together with realism, to blend real and fictional people together in the Russian revolutionary period of 1905 that laid the seeds for the 1917 dark Soviet period that Bely anticipates, set in the Paris of Russia, St Petersburg. An intriguing fantasy mixed with reality, dark and bright colors, with a dose of romanticism.

Tot comença amb un robatori d’uns papers del Monestir de Sant Cugat mentre a Matadepera s’està debatent sobre el procés sobiranista, a primera vista que podrien tenir en comú els afers de l’Església amb la política?, potser molt o potser res, però i si afegim un descendent del Compte Borrell, un milionari recalcitrant amb set de diners i poder, un retrat força cru sobre les altes esferes de la societat catalana, i si a més hi afegim embolics de faldilles, assassinats i segrestos.
