Charlaine and her boss at Discreet Investigations Inc. race to sort it out before a lethally dangerous force is unleashed into the underworld of international crime.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The fast-paced crime plot of ＜em＞Like Printing Money＜/em＞ is the engine for an exploration of the shifting culture of Baltimore, the vagaries of greed and friendship, the double-edged sword of technology, the internecine battles within corporate culture, and the strain of relationships under pressure.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Die legend?re Satire auf die Traumfabrik Hollywood. Nathanael West, der wie sein Freund F. Scott Fitzgerald jahrelang als Drehbuchautor in Hollywood verschlissen wurde, hat den Tagtr?umen des Filmproletariats seine Stimme gegeben: ein Rachefeldzug gegen Hollywood, der den Alptraum Amerika entlarvt.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Nathanael West wurde 1903 als Nathan Wallenstein Weinstein in New York City geboren, wo er deutschsprachig aufwuchs. Seine Eltern waren litauisch-j?dische Einwanderer. Nachdem er von der Tuft University verwiesen wurde, schrieb er sich an der Brown University mit falschen Zeugnissen ein, die von einem Namensvetter stammten, und verlie? die Hochschule mit einem (echten) Diplom. 1924 schloss er sein Studium mit dem ?Bachelor of Philosophy? ab. Wie die meisten Exponenten der ?Lost Generation? zog es ihn in den zwanziger Jahren nach Paris. In den zwei Jahren dort bewegte er sich in den Kreisen der Dadaisten und Surrealisten. Nach Amerika zur?ckgekehrt, schlug er sich als Hotelmanager durch, gab mit William Carlos Williams die Zeitschrift ?Contact? heraus, lieferte Beitr?ge f?r George Grosz' satirisches Blatt ?Americana?, war bekannt mit Erskine Caldwell, Malcolm Cowley, Alfred Kazin, Ring Lardner, Dorothy Parker und befreundet mit F. Scott Fitzgerald, als dessen ?kleiner Bruder? er galt. Wie dieser vergeudete er in Hollywood sein Talent mit Drehb?chern f?r drittklassige Streifen.

＜p＞＜em＞The Thinking Machine＜/em＞ (1907) is a short story collection by Jacques Futrelle. Published at the height of his career as a leading popular detective and science fiction writer, ＜em＞The Thinking Machine＜/em＞ collects stories that originally appeared in such publications as ＜em＞The Saturday Evening Post＜/em＞ and the ＜em＞Boston American＜/em＞. Celebrated for his brisk storytelling and mastery of suspense, Jacques Futrelle was lost at sea on April 15, 1912 while returning from Europe on the HMS ＜em＞Titanic＜/em＞. His wife, who survived the disaster, had his last book dedicated to “the heroes of the ＜em＞Titanic＜/em＞.” Professor Augustus S. F. X Van Dusen, Ph.D., LL.D., F.R.S., M.D., M.D.S is a man whose intellect is as exhaustive as his name. Having learned the game of chess just hours before, he defeated grandmaster Tchaichowsky using logic and reason alone, earning himself the nickname “The Thinking Machine.” Ever since that fateful day, Van Dusen, with the help of his trusted companion Hutchinson Hatch, is called to solve crimes, complete puzzles, and face challenges no normal man could possibly endure. In “The Problem of Cell 13,” Van Dusen argues that no feat is impossible when the human mind is involved. To prove his theory, he endeavors to escape from a notoriously brutal prison in just one week’s time. Presented alongside six other stories of mystery and adventure, “The Problem of Cell 13” stands out as one of the greatest detective and suspense tales of all time. This edition of Jacques Futrelle’s ＜em＞The Thinking Machine＜/em＞ is a classic of American detective fiction reimagined for modern readers.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Since our inception in 2020, ＜strong＞Mint Editions＜/strong＞ has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

＜p＞＜em＞The Dead Letter＜/em＞ (1867) is a detective novel by Metta Victoria Fuller Victor. Published under the pseudonym Seeley Regester, ＜em＞The Dead Letter＜/em＞ is the first full-length work of crime fiction in American literature. “I paused suddenly in my work. Over a year’s experience in the Dead Letter office had given a mechanical rapidity to my movements in opening, noting and classifying the contents of the bundles before me […] Young ladies whose love letters have gone astray, evil men whose plans have been confided in writing to their confederates, may feel but little apprehension of the prying eyes of the Department.” Richard Redfield is accustomed to boredom in his role as inspector at the post office’s dead letter department. Tasked with reviewing the contents of undeliverable letters, Redfield is shocked to discover a clue to the death of his friend two years prior. With the help of Detective Burton, Redfield sets out to uncover the truth, which he hopes will provide belated justice for Henry and peace for his bereaved fianc?e Eleanor.

＜p＞La fragilit? della condizione maschile odierna pu? vantare, com’? noto, una sterminata letteratura da parte delle scienze sociali, e infinite tesi che pretendono di venirne a capo. Nulla, per?, pi? della narrativa contemporanea ? in grado di restituire la crudezza e, nello stesso tempo, l’amabilit? e la futilit? di questo fenomeno. Con E poi siamo arrivati alla fine, Non conosco il tuo nome e Svegliamoci pure, ma a un’ora decente, le sue precedenti, ac-clamate opere, Joshua Ferris ha mostrato un’abilit? non comune nel penetrare nei risvolti comici e tragici di questa fragilit?, nar-rando di uomini ossessionati da energiche boss donne nei luoghi di lavoro, di affermati professionisti che decidono di lasciarsi in-dietro il fulgore soffocante e irresistibile della felicit? coniugale e familiare, di uomini di successo che scoprono improvvisamente che la loro insignificante esistenza ? destinata a trascinarsi nell’abisso come una pallina da golf sull’orlo della buca. Nei racconti che compongono questo Invito a cena, libro accolto al suo apparire negli Stati Uniti da un’entusiastica accoglienza da parte della critica, la fragilit? maschile viene mostrata all’opera soprattutto nell’intricato rapporto tra i sessi che caratterizza la nostra epoca, con esiti altrettanto esilaranti e, nello stesso tempo, crudeli. Che si tratti di un uomo che rimprovera alla moglie la balordaggine delle sue amicizie, salvo poi scoprire che erano proprio quelle a reggere le sorti del suo matrimonio; o di un uomo maturo che l’inaspettata vedovanza trascina nell’ipocondria dapprima e poi nella sorprendente frequentazione di una prostituta; o anche di un aspirante sceneggiatore che, al party in piscina di una famosa autrice televisiva, si lascia andare a un crescendo inarrestabile di paranoie, ? la relazione uomo-donna che in queste pagine si offre nell’intensit? delle sue passioni e, ad un tempo, nell’incomunicabilit? e inaffidabilit? proprie della nostra epoca. Undici storie emozionanti, originali e comiche, esplorate tutte attraverso la prosa dinamica e la feroce satira che hanno reso Jo-shua Ferris uno dei pi? importanti scrittori contemporanei. ≪Traboccante, divertente, intelligente e dinamico. Ferris ? un candidato assolutamente degno per il Booker Prize o per qualsiasi altro importante premio≫. Janet Maslin, New York Times ≪? un piacere osservare come questo scrittore spazi, con abilit?, dai registri ampiamente giocosi della commedia a un’autentica profondit? spirituale≫.

＜p＞Nel 1951, l’anno in cui pubblica ＜em＞Il brigante＜/em＞, Berto ? gi? uno scrittore affermato. I due libri precedenti, ＜em＞Il cielo ? rosso＜/em＞ e ＜em＞Le opere di Dio＜/em＞, composti nell’isolamento del campo di prigionia di Hereford e apparsi tra il 1947 e il 1948, erano stati accolti favorevolmente in Italia e all’estero, dove la stampa non aveva mancato di accostare lo scrittore ai maestri del neorealismo cinematografico italiano. Con ＜em＞Il brigante＜/em＞, Berto decide dunque di rendere aperto omaggio al romanzo al cui centro vi siano scottanti problemi sociali ? dir? successivamente di aver scritto un libro ≪marxista≫ ?, alla maniera dei narratori che, come mostra Gabriele Pedull? nello scritto che accompagna questa edizione, orbitano, in quella stagione letteraria, ≪attorno a Elio Vittorini e si riconoscono genericamente in un movimento neorealista dalle molte facce diverse≫. Traendo ispirazione da un fatto di cronaca, Berto narra la vicenda di Michele Renda, giovane reduce di guerra che, tornato nel villaggio natio tra i monti della Calabria, ingiustamente accusato di omicidio, si d? alla macchia e diventa un brigante. Una storia che consente all’autore del ＜em＞Cielo ? rosso＜/em＞ di porre in risalto ≪il conflitto assoluto di Bene e di Male, lo scandalo della virt? perseguitata, la riscossa delle vittime innocenti≫ (Gabriele Pedull?), e di comporre pagine particolarmente felici sulla vita delle campagne calabresi in un momento di radicale trasformazione. Come, tuttavia, Berto far? notare nella prefazione all’edizione del 1974, ＜em＞Il brigante＜/em＞ non ? un romanzo interamente ascrivibile al neorealismo, al movimento culturale, cio?, che mirava alla ≪rigenerazione morale del paese≫ e al ≪raggiungimento d’una decente giustizia sociale≫. Michele Renda, il suo protagonista, ? un ≪sorpassato≫, un uomo ≪indissolubilmente legato al mondo arcaico dell’odio, del tradimento, della vendetta≫ e la comunit? in cui si muove, animata da dicerie, ? quanto di pi? lontano dal grande mito della ≪comunit? organica≫. In realt?, gli elementi psicologici propri della scrittura di Berto, quelli che troveranno la loro massima espressione nel ＜em＞Male oscuro＜/em＞, sono gi? presenti in questo romanzo in cui un eroe, estraneo e irriducibile al suo mondo, ? mosso da un universo interiore nel quale bene e male sono divisi soltanto da un esile filo. Nel 1961, Renato Castellani trasse dal Brigante un film giudicato da Berto il migliore di tutti i film tratti dai suoi romanzi, e dalla critica odierna un capolavoro della cinematografia italiana. ≪Uno dei pi? belli e tragici romanzi che siano apparsi da anni, veramente un piccolo capolavoro≫. Time Magazine ≪Volgendosi “in presa diretta” alla Calabria pi? povera e afflitta, ＜em＞Il brigante＜/em＞ ripete il gesto compiuto da Berto nei primi due romanzi, dove campeggiano le distruzioni della guerra, ma il senso dell’operazione ? diverso perch? questa volta Berto ambisce consapevolmente a iscriversi nella letteratura impegnata del periodo≫.

＜p＞While the national narrative coming out of Ireland since the 2008 economic crisis has been relentlessly sanguine, fiction has offered a more nuanced perspective from both well-established and emerging authors. In ＜em＞Broken Irelands＜/em＞, McGlynn examines Irish fiction of the post-crash era, addressing the proliferation of writing that downplays realistic and grammatical coherence. Noting that these traits have the effect of diminishing human agency, blurring questions of responsibility, and emphasizing emotion over rationality, McGlynn argues that they reflect and respond to social and economic conditions during the global economic crisis and its aftermath of recession, austerity, and precarity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Rather than focusing on overt discussions of the crash and recession, McGlynn explores how the dominance of an economic worldview, including a pervasive climate of financialized discourse, shapes the way stories are told. In the writing of such authors as Anne Enright, Colum McCann, Mike McCormack, and Lisa McInerney, McGlynn unpacks the ways that formal departures from realism through grammatical asymmetries like unconventional verb tenses, novel syntactic choices, and reliance on sentence fragments align with a cultural moment shaped by feelings of impotence and rhetorics of personal responsibility.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜em＞Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice＜/em＞ (1919) is a comic fantasy novel by James Branch Cabell. Set in a world where history and fantasy collide, where a lowly pawnbroker can encounter monsters, gods, and devils, ＜em＞Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice＜/em＞ is one of Cabell’s best-known works of fiction. For several years after its initial publication, the novel was the subject of an obscenity trial pursued by the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. In 1923, after winning his case, Cabell made sure to immortalize the event with a revised edition featuring a “lost” chapter where Jurgen is persecuted for his writing by grotesque Philistines. ＜em＞Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice＜/em＞ is one work in a series of novels, essays, and poems known as the Biography of the Life of Manuel. “For now had come to Jurgen and the Centaur a gold-haired woman, clothed all in white, and walking alone. She was tall, and lovely and tender to regard: and hers was not the red and white comeliness of many ladies that were famed for beauty, but rather it had the even glow of ivory […] to Jurgen this woman's countenance was in all things perfect. Perhaps this was because he never saw her as she was.” Unsatisfied with life as a lowly pawnbroker, Jurgen follows his heart in pursuit of ideal love. A proponent of medieval chivalry, he encounters gods, goddesses, kings, and queens as he passes from one otherworldly realm to the next. On his wondrous journey, he meets some of the most celebrated women in history and literature, including Guinevere, Anaitis, and Helen of Troy. Jurgen, a wily poet and legendary lover with a head full of dreams and desires, is an allegorical figure for modern humanity, a flawed hero whose kaleidoscopic world is not entirely different from our own. Cabell’s work has long been described as escapist, his novels and stories derided as fantastic and obsessive recreations of a world lost long ago. To read ＜em＞Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice,＜/em＞ however, is to understand that the issues thereinーthe struggle for power, the unspoken distance between men and womenーwere vastly important not only at the time of its publication, but in our own, divisive world. This edition of James Branch Cabell’s ＜em＞Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice＜/em＞ is a classic of fantasy and romance reimagined for modern readers.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Since our inception in 2020, ＜strong＞Mint Editions＜/strong＞ has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

＜p＞Dalle notti immaginifiche di Villa Diodati, nell’estate del 1816, non nasce solo il Frankenstein. All’asse creativo Mary Shelley-Percy Bysshe Shelley si affianca quello fra John Polidori e Lord Byron, non meno foriero di conseguenze per la storia dell’immaginario occidentale. Al celebre Vampiro - qui presentato per la prima volta in edizione critica - ＜em＞Villa Diodati Files＜/em＞ affianca una serie di testi finora inaccessibili al pubblico italiano: la dissertazione sul sonnambulismo discussa da Polidori a Edimburgo, il suo diario del 1816, il romanzo ＜em＞Ernestus Berchtold＜/em＞ (pensato da Polidori come risposta al ＜em＞Frankenstein＜/em＞) e lettere relative al presunto plagio di Polidori ai danni di Byron. Il vampiro si svela cos? come il tassello di un pi? ampio conflitto intellettuale e umano, consumato ben oltre l’estate di Diodati: e dietro al quale traluce la natura intimamente parassitaria del fare letteratura.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜em＞Frederick Douglass: A Biography＜/em＞ (1899) is a book by African American author, lawyer, and political activist Charles Chesnutt. While he is more widely known for “The Goophered Grapevine,” the first story published in ＜em＞The Atlantic＜/em＞ by an African American author, Chesnutt was also a gifted biographer whose storytelling ability allowed him to present the life of such a man as Frederick Douglass in a fresh and revelatory light. “From this night of slavery Douglass emerged, passed through the limbo of prejudice which he encountered as a freeman, and took his place in history.” Born in Maryland, Douglass escaped slavery at the age of twenty with the help of his future wife Anna Murray Douglass, a free black woman from Baltimore. In New England, he connected with the influential abolitionist community and joined the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, a historically Black denomination which counted Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman among its members. In 1839, Douglass became a preacher and began his career as a captivating orator on religious, social, and political matters. He met William Lloyd Garrison, publisher of anti-slavery newspaper ＜em＞The Liberator＜/em＞, in 1841, and was deeply moved by his passionate abolitionism. As Douglass’ reputation and influence grew, he traveled across the country and eventually to Ireland and Great Britain to advocate on behalf of the American abolitionist movement, winning countless people over to the leading moral cause of the nineteenth century. Arguably one of the most influential Americans of all time, Douglass led a life dedicated to democracy and racial equality. This edition of Charles Chesnutt’s ＜em＞Frederick Douglass: A Biography＜/em＞ is a classic of African American literature reimagined for modern readers.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Since our inception in 2020, ＜strong＞Mint Editions＜/strong＞ has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

＜p＞Et meget omdiskuteret sp?rgsm?l i sidste ?rhundrede var, om litteratur kan ses som videnskab.

＜p＞＜em＞The History of Miss Betsy Thoughtless＜/em＞ (1751) is a novel by Eliza Haywood. Blending tragedy and comedy, Haywood explores the intersection of ambition, family, and desire to reveal how women so often fall victim to the whims of men. ＜em＞The History of Miss Betsy Thoughtless＜/em＞ has been recognized as one of the first novels in English literature to depict the development of an independent heroine, as well as to move away from the more popular genre of amatory fiction toward the marriage plot. Widely read in the eighteenth century, Haywood influenced such authors as Fanny Burney and Jane Austen. Having completed her education at an all-girls boarding school, Betsy Thoughtless moves to the city of London. For the first time, she finds herself thrust into the orbit of young and marriageable men, whose attention and affections she craves, though remains cautious to reciprocate. Betsy knows the dangers inherent to sexual improprietyーpregnancy out of wedlock would all but guarantee her a life of poverty and misfortune, not to mention the shame it would bring to her aristocratic family. Despite these pressures, Betsy finds a way to enjoy single life while learning to recognize the signs of deceitful, unworthy men. When marriage does come, she soon realizes the institution is far from perfect. Unhappy, she grows as a person and looks for a way to regain her former independence.
