Story
Oltre cento interviste distribuite nell'arco di quattro decenni: il più imponente corpus disponibile di autocommenti calviniani. L'effetto è quello di un grande cantiere autobiografico: un'autobiografia in progress, mobile e sfaccettata, costruita per successive espansioni. Un'autopresentazione simile a un prisma rotante che prende forma davanti ai nostri occhi, senza mai consentire una visione completa e stabilizzata. Proprio così, forse, Calvino avrebbe desiderato apparire: coerente ma non inerte, dinamico senza essere dispersivo, e intento a un'assidua costruzione di sé.

Story
"Il racconto fantastico è una delle produzioni più caratteristiche della narrativa dell'Ottocento, e una delle più significative per noi. Alla nostra sensibilità d'oggi l'elemento soprannaturale al centro di questi intrecci appare sempre carico di senso, come l'insorgere dell'inconscio, del represso, del dimenticato, dell'allontanato dalla nostra attenzione razionale. In ciò va vista la modernità del fantastico, la ragione del suo ritorno di fortuna nella nostra epoca."

Story
Ventisette dialoghi brevi ma carichi di tensione, suadenti eppure sconfinanti nel tragico, in cui gli dèi e gli eroi della Grecia classica (da Edipo e Tiresia a Calipso e Odisseo, da Eros e Tànatos a Achille e Patroclo) sono invitati a discutere il rapporto tra uomo e natura, il carattere ineluttabile del destino, la profondità del dolore e l'irrevocabile condanna della morte.

Story
«Partendo per gli Stati Uniti, e anche durante il viaggio, spergiuravo che non avrei scritto un libro sull'America (ce n'è già tanti!). Invece ho cambiato idea. I libri di viaggio sono un modo utile, modesto eppure completo di fare letteratura. Sono libri che servono praticamente, anche se, o proprio perché, i paesi cambiano d'anno in anno e fissandoli come li si è visti se ne registra la mutevole essenza; e si può in essi esprimere qualcosa che va al di là della descrizione dei luoghi visti, un rapporto tra sé e la realtà, un processo di conoscenza.

Story
"Il leggere per la prima volta un grande libro in età matura è un piacere straordinario: diverso rispetto a quello d'averlo letto in gioventù. La gioventù comunica alla lettura come a ogni altra esperienza un particolare sapore e una particolare importanza; mentre in maturità si apprezzano molti dettagli e livelli e significati in più. Ci dovrebbe essere un tempo nella vita adulta dedicato a rivisitare le letture più importanti della gioventù. Se i libri sono rimasti gli stessi noi siamo certamente cambiati, e l'incontro è un avvenimento del tutto nuovo." (L'autore).

Publisher's summary
«Se in un'epoca della mia attività letteraria sono stato attratto dai folktales, dai fairytales, non è stato per fedeltà a una tradizione etnica (dato che le mie radici sono in un'Italia del tutto moderna e cosmopolita) né per nostalgia delle letture infantili (nella mia famiglia un bambino doveva leggere solo libri istruttivi e con qualche fondamento scientifico) ma per interesse stilistico e strutturale, per l'economia, il ritmo, la logica essenziale con cui sono raccontate. Nel mio lavoro di trascrizione delle fiabe italiane dalle registrazioni degli studiosi di folklore del secolo scorso, provavo un particolare piacere quando il testo originale era molto laconico e dovevo cercare di raccontarlo rispettandone la concisione e cercando di trarre da essa il massimo d'efficacia narrativa e di suggestione poetica. La prima caratteristica del folktale è l'economia espressiva; le peripezie più straordinarie sono raccontate tenendo conto solo dell'essenziale; c'è sempre una battaglia contro il tempo, contro gli ostacoli che impediscono o ritardano il compimento d'un desiderio o il ristabilimento d'un bene perduto.»

Then: Linda has it all: a gorgeous home, a devoted husband, two loving daughters. But she throws it all away to chase an impossible dream. Now: Linda is alone and penniless, living in a shabby rented flat. With nothing to lose, she signs up to a dating app for the over 50s.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.
