    • La Torre Nera: La leggenda del vento

      Un romanzo della Torre Nera

      • 392 pages
      • 14 hours of reading

      Quando una tempesta violenta come lo starkblast infuria, solo tre cose possono salvarti: solide pareti, un focolare e una buona storia... Sorpreso dalla tormenta durante il cammino, Roland trova rifugio con i suoi compagni in uno spettrale villaggio abbandonato. Qui aspetta l'alba raccontando due storie, racchiuse l'una nell'altra come scatole cinesi. La prima è un drammatico episodio della sua giovinezza, quando il padre lo mandò a combattere contro un mostro orribile. La seconda è la più bella storia che, in una notte altrettanto infernale, Roland - ancora un ragazzo lui stesso - raccontò a un bambino per tranquillizzarlo: la leggenda del vento, quella con cui la madre lo cullava per farlo addormentare. King rivista la saga culto della Torre Nera con questa digressione, che si situa cronologicamente tra il quarto e il quinto volume, e fa l'en plein.

One night, when Anna's crew is filming a suicide jumper who falls five stories to his death, Jason, her fill-in cameraman, is strangely affected. The next morning, Jason is found murdered on a beach. At first the police think that the deaths are unrelated, but too many coincidences and clues keep linking the deaths and leading back to Anna, revealing the dark truth of an obsessed madman. Through a series of bizarre and harrowing events, ghostsofAnna's past are stirred up and revealed to be intrinsically linked to the lives of Jason and the suicide jumper. Anna's world becomes as cold and dangerous as the night itself. John Sandford has written thrilling stories before, but nothing to top the extraordinary suspense and tension of The Night Crew.

      Never make an enemy of a murderer. In 1970, The Ford County Times , one of Mississipi's more colourful weekly newspapers, went bankrupt. To the surprise and dismay of many, ownership was assumed by 23-year-old college drop-out, Willie Traynor. The future of the paper looked grim until a young mother was brutally raped and murdered by a member of the notorious Padgitt family. Traynor reported all the gruesome details, and his newspaper began to prosper. The murderer, Danny Padgitt, was tried before a packed courtroom in Clanton, Mississippi. The trial came to a startling, dramatic end when the defendant threatened revenge against the jurors if they convicted him. Nevertheless, they found him guilty, and he was sentenced to life in prison. But in Mississippi in 1970 'life' didn't necessarily mean 'life', and nine years later Danny Padgitt managed to get himself paroled. He returned to Ford County, and the retribution began.

      "The hill people and the Mexicans arrived on the same day. It was a Wednesday, early in September 1952. The Cardinals were five games behind the Dodgers with three weeks to go, and the season looked hopeless. The cotton, however, was waist-high to my father, over my head, and he and my grandfather could be heard before supper whispering words that were seldom heard. It could be a 'good crop'." Thus begins from author John Grisham, a story inspired by his own childhood in rural Arkansas. The narrator is a farm boy named Luke Chandler, age seven, who lives in the cotton fields with his parents and grandparents in a little house that's never been painted. The Chandlers farm eighty acres that they rent, not own, and when the cotton is ready they hire a truckload of Mexicans and a family from the Ozarks to help harvest it. For six weeks they pick cotton, battling the heat, the rain, the fatigue, and, sometimes, each other. As the weeks pass Luke sees and hears things no seven-year-old could possibly be prepared for, and finds himself keeping secrets that not only threaten the crop but will change the lives of the Chandlers forever. This is a moving story of one boy's journey from innocence to.

Solo quattro persone, un uomo, una donna, un bambino e un vecchio, si rendono conto che dietro alla nube di gas si cela qualcosa di ben più pericoloso, qualcosa che ha già visitato in passato la cittadina reclamando ogni volta il suo tributo e provano ad opporvisi... ma potrebbe essere già troppo tardi...

Nove mesi dopo nascono dei bambini. Due sono figli del Jaff, un’entità che vuole il Male. L’altro è figlio di Fletcher, una forza luminosa e positiva, nemica del Jaff. La posta in palio nella lotta eterna tra il Bene e il Male è l’Arte, il più grande potere che esista. Grazie all’Arte si possono utilizzare degli squarci infradimensionali e passare dal nostro mondo ad altri e viceversa. Il Male che può venire dagli altri mondi è qualcosa di terribile, di inimmaginabile per noi limitati umani. Sarà una lotta all’ultimo sangue, nel corso del quale l’incubo camminerà per le strade, i sogni diventeranno realtà, la realtà sogno, e niente potrà più tornare come prima... Una fiaba dei nostri tempi, crudele e dolcissima, ambientata nell’assolata California.
