Six murders. One hundred pages. Millions of possible combinations... but only one is correct. Can you solve Torquemada's murder mystery? In 1934, the Observer's cryptic crossword compiler, Edward Powys Mathers (aka Torquemada), released a novel that was simultaneously a murder mystery and the most fiendishly difficult literary puzzle ever written. The pages have been printed in an entirely haphazard order, but it is possible - through logic and intelligent reading - to sort the pages into the only correct order, revealing six murder victims and their respective murderers. Only three puzzlers have ever solved the mystery of Cain's Jawbone: do you have what it takes to join their ranks? Please note: this puzzle is extremely difficult and not for the faint-hearted.

Non c'è lingua e non c'è epoca in cui non si sia giocato con le parole: troviamo giochi di parole nei testi più solenni di religioni, letterature, filosofie. Sono una dimensione comune a tutti: dagli analfabeti ai premi Nobel. Ed è proprio dalla classicità e dal folklore che la cultura di massa ha ripescato le più curiose ed enigmatiche combinazioni linguistiche per adattarle alla contemporaneità. Dall'enigmistica alla pubblicità, dalla satira ai tweet, la lingua mette in gioco le parole in modo che ci avvincano ancora prima che convincerci. In queste pagine Stefano Bartezzaghi ci spiega la natura di queste scintille dell'intelligenza e ci invita ad appropriarcene.

Harry Potter is a wizard. He is in his second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Little does he know that this year will be just as eventful as the last . . . even getting there is an adventure in itself! The three firm friends, Harry, Ron and Hermione, are soon immersed in the daily round of Potions, Herbology, Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Quidditch. But then horrible and mysterious things start happening. Harry keeps hearing strange voices, sinister and dark messages appear, and then Ron's sister Ginny disappears . . . The darker side of Hogwarts is revealed in this exciting sequel to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

On a crowded bus at midday, the narrator observes one man accusing another of jostling him deliberately. When a seat is vacated, the first man takes it. Later, in another part of town, the man is spotted again, while being advised by a friend to have another button sewn onto his overcoat. Exercises in Style retells this apparently unremarkable tale ninety-nine times, employing a variety of styles, ranging from sonnet to cockney to mathematical formula. Too funny to be merely a pedantic thesis, this virtuoso set of themes and variations is a linguistic rust-remover, a guide to literary forms and a demonstration of imagery and inventiveness.

Harry has yet again spent the summer holidays at the Dursleys'. He has had plenty to think about, though - from the death of his beloved godfather Sirius Black, to the terrifying chase through the Ministry of Magic by the Death Eaters, to the fierce duel he witnessed between Professor Dumbledore and Lord Voldemort. It is the middle of the summer, but there is an unseasonal mist pressing against the windowpanes. Harry is waiting nervously for a visit from Professor Dumbledore himself. He can't quite believe that Professor Dumbledore will actually appear at the Dursleys' of all places. Why is the Professor coming to visit him now? What is it that cannot wait until Harry returns to Hogwarts in a few weeks' time? Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts has already got off to an unusual start, as the worlds of Muggle and magic start to intertwine J.K. Rowling charts Harry Potter's adventures in his sixth year at Hogwarts with a mix of detail and humour that is unsurpassed, pace that is breathless and above all a flair that is magical.

'His hand closed automatically around the fake Horcrux, but in spite of everything, in spite of the dark and twisting path he saw stretching ahead for himself, in spite of the final meeting with Voldemort he knew must come, whether in a month, in a year, or in ten, he felt his heart lift at the thought that there was still one last golden day of peace left to enjoy with Ron and Hermione.' With these words Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince draws to a close. And here, in this seventh and final book, Harry discovers what fate truly has in store for him as he inexorably makes his way to that final meeting with Voldemort. In this thrilling climax to the phenomenally bestselling series, J.K. Rowling will reveal all to her eagerly waiting readers.

Harry Potter is due to start his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizadry. He is desperate to get back to school and find out why his friends Ron and Hermione have been so secretive all summer. However, what Harry is about to discover in his new year at Hogwarts will turn his whole world upside down.

The summer holidays are dragging on and Harry Potter can't wait for the start of the school year. It is his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and there are spells to be learnt and (unluckily) Potions and Divination lessons to be attended. But Harry can't know that the atmosphere is darkening around him, and his worst enemy is preparing a fate that it seems will be inescapable . . . With characteristic wit, fast-paced humour and marvellous emotional depth, J.K. Rowling has proved herself yet again to be a master story-teller.

Questo è un libro serissimo, anche se si ride dalla prima pagina all’ultima. Anche se è pieno di ambulanze che viaggiano a sirene spietate, anelli impestati di diamanti e automobili fuorisede con il salvasterzo. L’autore, d’altra parte si sa, è uno studioso. Esperto di enigmistica e linguaggio, studia l’”allegria” delle parole e in queste pagine ha raccolto le “frasi matte” inviate dai lettori di “Lessico e Nuvole”, la rubrica che tiene sul «Venerdì di Repubblica»: un libro per farsi trascinare con coscienza e leggerezza nel paese dei balocchi delle frasi impazzite, dare nobiltà agli inciampi e alle smagliature del linguaggio, ridere senza riguardi delle bucce di banana del parlato.

L'autore presenta le opere più famose di Carroll - i racconti "Le avventure di Alice nel paese delle meraviglie" e "Attraverso lo specchio", in cui, ironizzando sui modelli di pensiero, il scrittore offre un'immagine sarcastica dei costumi della società inglese della seconda metà del XIX secolo.
