My Family and Other Animals is an autobiographical work by naturalist Gerald Durrell published in 1956, telling of the part of his childhood he spent on the Greek island of Corfu between 1935 and 1939. It describes the life of the (More) Durrell family on the island in a humorous manner, and also richly discusses the fauna of the island. It is the first and most famous of Durrell’s Corfu trilogy, together with Birds, Beasts, and Relatives, and The Garden of the Gods.
Durrell had already written several successful books about his trips collecting animals in the wild for zoos when My Family and Other Animals came out in 1956. Its comic exaggeration of the foibles of his family – especially his eldest brother Lawrence Durrell, who later became a famous novelist – and heartfelt appreciation of the natural world made it very successful. It launched Durrell’s career as owner of the Jersey Zoological Park (now Durrell Wildlife Park) in the Channel Islands, as well as novel-writer and television personality; and was also influential in the development of tourism in Corfu

«Todo empezó por un número equivocado, el teléfono sonó tres veces en la mitad de la noche y la voz al otro lado preguntó por alguien que no era él.»Así comienza La ciudad de cristal, primera de las tres novelas que conforman La (More) trilogía de Nueva York.

En Fantasmas, segunda de las piezas, un detective privado y el hombre al que tiene que vigilar juegan al escondite en un claustrofóbico universo urbano. Por último, en La habitación cerrada el protagonista se ve confrontado a los recuerdos de un amigo de la infancia cuando la mujer de éste le escribe una carta explicándole que su marido ha desaparecido misteriosamente.La trilogía de Nueva York, sin duda una de las obras literarias más memorables de los años ochenta, es uno de los cimientos sobre los que se sustenta el prestigio internacional de Paul Auster.

La trama detectivesca sirve como marco para plantear al lector un fascinante juego de espejos, símbolos, guiños y sorpresas; para explorar un mundo extraño, sombrío y perturbador, poblado de personajes fascinantes y ambiguos. El autor entreteje tres historias independientes que forjan mitos contemporáneos. Con la incorporación de este libro a nuestro catálogo sentimos la inmensa satisfacción de poder ofrecer al lector la totalidad de la obra narrativa de Paul Auster, uno de los escritores imprescindibles de este final de siglo.

First King of Shannara, a 1996 novel by Terry Brooks, is a prequel to Brooks’ The Sword of Shannara, set during the Second War of the Races. Many famous characters from the series, and their ancestors, appear in this (More) story.
Horrified by the consequences of the First War of the Races, the Druids at Paranor have stopped studying the arcane arts and have turned to the sciences of the Old World.
But Brona, now the Warlock Lord, thought to have died in the First War of the Races, has come to make a new war on the Races. He is now stronger than ever, gathering spirits from the netherworld and a massive Troll army under his banner. Brona’s first target is Paranor, the home of the Druids who defeated him during the First War of the Races. He easily wipes out the Druid order. The only survivors are the followers of Bremen, an outcast Druid who continued to study the mystic arts and tried to warn the council before it was too late. Needless to say, his caveat went unheeded. Bremen had been cast from the Druid Council because he had an interest in magic, now forbidden since the disaster that turned the Druid Brona into the Warlock Lord. As a result, the council simply didn’t trust him. Bremen knows that only magic can fight magic, so he devises a plan to create a magical weapon to destroy the Warlock Lord: the Sword of Shannara. The Sword is created by truth of existence, the only thing remaining to the shades of former Druids. The Warlock Lord never could face the truth that he had died centuries before, and the Sword would force that truth on him. Armed with truth, Bremen leads the battle in the Westland. He equips Jerle Shannara, the Elven King, with the Sword. Jerle confronts the Warlock Lord, and succeeds in driving him into hiding, but he fails to destroy him. To properly wield the talisman of truth, one must first be prepared to face the truth of his own life. Jerle simply could not reconcile the guilt he felt at his best friend’s death, and so he lacked the ability to force truth on Brona

Terre vergini  è l’ultimo romanzo dello scrittore russo Ivan Turgenev, pubblicato nel 1877. Narra il fallimento dei giovani populisti del movimento dell’andata al popolo del 1874.
Ivan Sergeevič Turgenev  è stato uno scrittore e (More) drammaturgo russo.

Agli inizi degli anni Trenta, Irene Nemirovsky accantono per un paio d’anni la scrittura di romanzi, per “subire” la fascinazione positiva e feconda da parte del cinema. Assidua frequentatrice delle sale cinematografiche, (More) entusiasta per l’avvento del sonoro, l’autrice intuì nella settima arte, con sensibilità quasi profetica, una straordinaria risorsa per la scrittura, una fonte di suggerimenti e spunti anche tecnici, in grado di ampliarne le possibilità espressive. Fu cosi che nel 1931 nacquero le tre storie d’amore, La sinfonia di Parigi, Natale e Carnevale di Nizza, qui tradotte e pubblicate per la prima volta in Italia, con la speranza che potessero un giorno essere trasposte sul grande schermo. Del resto, per la scrittrice francese l’incontro con il cinema – seppur indirettamente – era gia avvenuto con la realizzazione del film David Golder, per il quale il regista Julien Duvivier dichiaro di non aver avuto bisogno di aggiungere scene o modificare i dialoghi tratti dal romanzo omonimo, tanto la scrittura della Nemirovsky si armonizzava perfettamente al ritmo e alle tecniche narrative cinematografiche. Nessuna di queste storie divento mai un film, ponendo cosi fine alle sue speranze di poter lavorare come sceneggiatrice. Eppure, il tentativo non fu vano e la lettura di queste tre brevi opere potrà meglio farci comprendere quanto l’amore per il cinema abbia influenzato lo stile indimenticabile dell’autrice di Suite francese.
