Book excerpt: For fans of Mieko Kawakami’s Breasts and Eggs and Murata Sayaka’s Earthlings, this Japanese bestseller from renowned anime director Makoto Shinkai features four inspirational and heartwarming vignettes following women and their cats in their quests for love and connection. Lying alone on the edge of the sidewalk in an abandoned cardboard box, a nameless narrator contemplates the indifferent world around him. With his mother long gone, his only company is the sound of the nearby train. Just as he fears that the end is near, a young woman peers down at him, this fateful encounter changing their lives forever. So begins the first story in She and Her Cat, a collection of four interrelated, stream-of-conscious short stories in which four women and their feline companions explore the frailty of life, the pain of isolation, and the limits of communication. With clever narration alternating between the cats and their owners, She and Her Cat offers a unique and sly commentary on human foibles and our desire for connection. A whimsical short story anthology unlike any other, it effortlessly demonstrates that even in our darkest, most lonesome moments, we are still united to this wonderous world—often in ways we could never have expected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questa raccolta di poesie e di racconti popolari anonimi in dialetto molisano tracciano il percorso di due storie che, pur diversificate, si compenetrano e si completano a vicenda: la storia individuale dell' autore e la storia collettiva della società di un paese del Sud. Le immagini di un mondo apparentemente immobile e arcaico si alternano alle vicende di una realtà storica complessa e tormentata, nel cui magma vecchio e nuovo si scontrano e si fondono. This collection of poems and anonymous folktales in the Molisan dialect traces the unfolding of two stories which, although distinct, interweave and complete each other: the author's individual story and the story of a town in the South of Italy. The images of an apparently immobile and archaic world alternate with the events of a complex and tormented historical reality, in whose magma the new and the old clash and fuse.

This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduzione di Goffredo Fofi Traduzione di Chiara Vatteroni Edizione integrale Il libro degli schizzi (The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., di cui proponiamo la traduzione integrale) è considerato il capolavoro di Washington Irving. Tra le tante storie fantastiche raccolte nel volume ricordiamo quella di Rip Van Winkle e del suo misterioso e bizzarro viaggio nel tempo; de Lo sposo fantasma, con il suo sorprendente finale; ma soprattutto l’avventura mozzafiato che si svolge nella brumosa vallata di Sleepy Hollow, battuta da uno spettrale cavaliere senza testa in sella a un possente stallone nero. Ichabod Crane, uno strano maestro di scuola, dovrà vedersela con lui, perché il fantasma si frappone tra il giovane e la bellissima Katrina, di cui Ichabod è innamorato. Pur di conquistare l’amore della ragazza, il maestro (che nella famosa versione cinematografica ha il volto di Johnny Depp) andrà incontro ad avventure pericolose, avvincenti e, naturalmente, dense di mistero. «Lo spirito che più di tutti tormenta questa regione incantata, e sembra essere il comandante in capo di tutte le forze dell’aria, è lo spettro di un cavaliere con il capo mozzato. Si dice sia il fantasma di un soldato della cavalleria assiana, che finì decapitato da una palla di cannone in una delle tante battaglie della guerra di indipendenza, e che i contadini vedono spesso galoppare a spron battuto nel buio della notte come trasportato sulle ali del vento.» Washington Irving nacque a New York nel 1783. Avviato agli studi giuridici, si mostrò sempre insofferente alla rigidità dell’ambiente accademico preferendo, per la sua formazione, la lettura dei classici inglesi e l’amicizia di uomini di lettere e di teatro. Viaggiatore instancabile, colto e curioso, Irving visse a lungo in Spagna e in Inghilterra e proprio in Europa scrisse la sua opera più importante, The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., trasferendo i temi del folklore del vecchio continente nel nuovo mondo. L’opera lo consacrò come primo autore americano a essere annoverato tra i classici della lingua inglese. Morì il 28 novembre del 1859 nei pressi di Tarrytown, vale a dire nello stesso villaggio in cui è ambientato Il mistero di Sleepy Hollow.

Book excerpt: the legend of sleepy hollow this special edition book includes summary, Character lists in the story and so on., we hope you enjoy reading this book.Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is one of the few early American short stories that is still widely read today.Most people are probably familiar with the story through the movie and television renditions of the story, the earliest of which was in 1922, a version called The Headless Horseman starring Will Rogers as the main character, Ichabod Crane. In 1949, Disney created its own version, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad with Bing Crosby narrating. This version, with its excellent use of visual symbolism, is fairly accurate, minus its lengthy chase scene.In 1999, Tim Burton's account of Sleepy Hollow, starring Johnny Depp, takes a different, darker approach with more head-chopping and less whimsical storytelling. Even some TV shows, like Nickelodeon's Are You Afraid of the Dark, Wishbone and Charmed, have taken the basics of the story and adapted it into their own, up-to-date storyline
