Jonathan e Bobby: sono amici inseparabili e poi confidenti e amanti nel corso di un’appassionata e difficile adolescenza a Cleveland, Ohio. La vita, la maturità e il capriccio del destino li separano, per poi farli incontrare a New York solo anni più tardi. Jonathan ora vive con una donna, Clare, la sua amica più cara, la sua compagna più vera. Bobby si trasferisce a casa dei due e, quando comincia una relazione con la ragazza, gli equilibri sentimentali e psicologici dei tre ne vengono lentamente ma inesorabilmente sconvolti. Romando d’esordio dell’autore di Le ore e Carne e sangue, Una casa alla fine del mondo racconta le incertezze dell’amore e la ricerca di un nuovo equilibrio in un mondo che si sforza di non crollare sotto il peso delle convezioni che si sfaldano. Romantico, ribelle, spregiudicato, è stato pubblicato in sedici paesi, e ha fatto conoscere al mondo il talento letterario di Michael Cunningham

Begun in the autumn of 1957 and published posthumously in 1964, this work captures the essence of being young, poor, and writing in Paris during the 1920s. Hemingway arrived in Paris in 1921 as a correspondent for the Toronto Star, just after the Great War and amid a cultural transformation in Europe. Artists like Braque and Picasso were exploring cubism, while Joyce had completed Ulysses, and Stein recognized Hemingway as part of a "lost generation." During these formative years, the unpublished writer gathered material for his first novel, The Sun Also Rises, and the masterpieces that followed. The sketches within reveal unforgettable encounters with a diverse circle of artists and writers, some destined for fame, others fading into obscurity. The narrative evokes the Paris Hemingway knew, illustrating the streets, cafés, and bookshops that shaped his experience as a struggling young writer battling cold and hunger. This work serves as both an elegy for the remarkable expatriate community of the 1920s and a testament to the challenges and rewards of a writer's life.

"FURIOUS IN ACTION...TAKES US BY THE NECK ON PAGE ONE AND NEVER LETS GO." --Chicago Sun-Times With the Cold War fought and won, British spymaster Tim Cranmer accepts early retirement to rural England and a new life with his alluring young mistress Emma. But when both Emma and Cranmer's star double agent and lifelong rival, Larry Pettifer, disappear, Cranmer is suddenly on the run, searching for his brilliant protégé, desperately eluding his former colleagues, in a frantic journey across Europe and into the lawless, battered landscapes of Moscow and southern Russia, to save whatever of his life he has left.... "IRRESISTIBLE...A sinuous plot, leisurely introduced, whose coils become increasingly constricting. There is crisp, intelligent dialogue, much of it riding an undercurrent of menace. And there is a hero who does not see himself as heroic but who struggles with inner demons as much as with the forces arrayed against him." --Time "AS THRILLING AS LE CARRÉ GETS...The novel has the heartstop duplicity of A Perfect Spy and some of the outraged honor of The Night Manager and The Little Drummer Girl." --The Boston Globe "GRIPPING." --The Christian Science Monitor A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK

'Vladimir Nabokov was a literary genius' David Lodge'Of all my novels this bright brute is the gayest', Nabokov wrote of King, Queen, Knave. Comic, sensual and cerebral, it dramatizes an Oedipal love triangle, a tragi-comedy of husband, wife and lover, through Dreyer the rich businessman, his ripe- lipped ad mercenary wife Martha, and their bespectacled nephew Franz. 'If a resolute Freudian manages to slip in' - Nabokov darts a glance to the reader - 'he or she should be warned that a number of cruel traps have been set here and there...

"A page-turner...Chichton's writing is cinematic, with powerful visual images and nonstop action. This book should come with hot buttered popcorn." NEWSWEEK A group of American scientists are rushed to a huge vessel that has been discovered resting on the ocean floor in the middle of the South Pacific. What they find defines their imaginations and mocks their attempts at logical explanation. It is a spaceship of phenomenal dimensions, apparently, undamaged by its fall from the sky. And, most startling, it appears to be at least three hundred years old.... "The suspense is real." THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

I versi satanici non è solo un romanzo straordinario, ricchissimo di immagini e invenzioni, ma è anche un libro che ha diviso l'opinione pubblica mondiale, dando origine a un caso letterario senza precedenti e costringendo il suo autore, sul quale pende una condanna a morte, a una clandestinità perpetua. La storia che viene descritta è un meraviglioso cocktail di realismo e fantasia, una vicenda magica in cui due viaggiatori, miracolosamente scampati a un disastro aereo, si vedono trasformati l'uno in una creatura angelica e l'altro in un essere diabolico. Ormai simboli del Bene e del Male, i due si affronteranno nella più antica e inevitabile delle battaglie, una lotta senza esclusione di colpi destinata a protrarsi in eterno nel tempo e nello spazio, dai più sperduti villaggi indiani alla Londra contemporanea. Un abbagliante mosaico di allegria e disperazione, di finzione e verità.
