Destiny brought them together. The Gods will keep them apart. When shy, awkward Helen Hamilton sees Lucas Delos for the first time she thinks two things. The first: that he is the most ridiculously beautiful boy she has seen in her life. The second: that she wants to kill him with her bare hands. With an ancient curse making them loathe one another, Lucas and Helen have to keep their distance. But sometimes love is stronger than hate, and not even the gods themselves can prevent what will happen...

The Son of God is back on Earth and starring on American Pop Star. God takes a look at the Earth around the time of the Renaissance and everything looks pretty good - so he takes a holiday. In Heaven-time this is just a week's fishing trip, but on Earth several hundred years go by. When God returns, he finds all hell has broken loose: world wars, holocausts, famine, capitalism and Christians. Everywhere. There's only one thing for it. They're sending the kid back. JC, reborn, is a struggling musician in New York City, trying to teach the one true commandment: Be Nice! His best chance to win hearts and minds is to enter American Pop Star. But the number one show in America is the unholy creation of a record executive who's more than a match for the Son of God... Steven Stelfox."

Paryska bohema, weimarski Berlin, faszystowska Italia, włoski komunizm ? urodzony w 1899 roku Nemesio widział wszystko i czerpał z życia garściami. Kochał wiele kobiet, walczył w obydwu wojnach światowych, brał udział w partyzantce, eksperymentował ze wszystkimi ruchami XX-wiecznej awangardy. U progu XXI wieku stuletniego malarza dotyka udar m�zgu. Jego syn i imiennik, kt�ry od lat nie zamienił z ojcem słowa, przybywa do szpitala. Nie spodziewa się, że ta wizyta zmieni się w szaloną podr�ż w czasie, podczas kt�rej przeżyje całe sto lat życia swojego ojca i pozna świat odległy, lecz wciąż żywy. Na własnej sk�rze doświadczy wzlot�w i upadk�w nowoczesności. Brawurowa opowieść, w kt�rej historia miesza się z wytworami wyobraźni, i w kt�rej autor oddał głos namiętnościom całego stulecia.

Si sa che non c'è nulla di più mondano di un buon funerale. E ancor più se si tratta di commemorare un estinto che, letteralmente, ha avuto per le mani la crème de la crème – ambosessi – di Londra. Allora l'evento può diventare, oltreché mondano, atrocemente intimo. E rischiare da un momento all'altro di sgangherarsi, se il programma prevede un preoccupante assolo di sax. Se uno dei convenuti si alza in piedi per tessere un panegirico dell'anatomia del trapassato. E se il fedele, puntiglioso cronista è Alan Bennett, forse l'unico grande scrittore di oggi capace di far sobbalzare di risa dalla prima all'ultima riga – come è già accaduto ai numerosissimi lettori di <i>Nudi e crudi</i>. <i>La cerimonia del massaggio</i> è apparso per la prima volta nel 2001.
