Book excerpt: Nevare Burvelle is the second son of a second son, destined from birth to carry a sword. The wealthy young noble will follow his father—newly made a lord by the King of Gernia—into the cavalry, training in the military arts at the elite King's Cavella Academy in the capital city of Old Thares. Bright and well-educated, an excellent horseman with an advantageous engagement, Nevare's future appears golden. But as his Academy instruction progresses, Nevare begins to realize that the road before him is far from straight. The old aristocracy looks down on him as the son of a "new noble" and, unprepared for the political and social maneuvering of the deeply competitive school and city, the young man finds himself entangled in a web of injustice, discrimination, and foul play. In addition, he is disquieted by his unconventional girl-cousin Epiny—who challenges his heretofore unwavering world view—and by the bizarre dreams that haunt his nights. For twenty years the King's cavalry has pushed across the grasslands, subduing and settling its nomads and claiming the territory in Gernia's name. Now they have driven as far as the Barrier Mountains, home to the Speck people, a quiet, forest-dwelling folk who retain the last vestiges of magic in a world that is rapidly becoming modernized. From childhood Nevare has been taught that the Specks are a primitive people to be pitied for their backward ways—and feared for their indigenous diseases, including the deadly Speck plague, which has ravaged the frontier towns and military outposts. The Dark Evening brings the carnival to Old Thares, and with it an unknown magic, and the first Specks Nevare has ever seen . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If now a swell from the Deep has swept over this planetary ship of earth, and I, who alone chanced to find myself in the furthest stern, as the sole survivor of her crew . . . What then, my God, shall I do?" The Purple Cloud is widely hailed as a masterpiece of science fiction and one of the best "last man" novels ever written. A deadly purple vapor passes over the world and annihilates all living creatures except one man, Adam Jeffson. He embarks on an epic journey across a silent and devastated planet, an apocalyptic Robinson Crusoe putting together the semblance of a normal life from the flotsam and jetsam of his former existence. As he descends into madness over the years, he becomes increasingly aware that his survival was no accident and that his destiny?and the fate of the human race?are part of a profound, cosmological plan.

Book excerpt: As a student in college, David Kepesh styles himself as 'a rake among scholars, a scholar among rakes' - an identity that will cling to him for a lifetime. As Philip Roth follows Kapesh from the domesticity of childhood out into the vast wilderness of erotic possibility, from a ménage à trois in London to the depths of loneliness in New York, Kapesh confronts the central dilemma of pleasure: how to make a truce between dignity and desire; and how to survive the ordeal of an unhallowed existence.

Book excerpt: Il delitto aveva occupato un trafiletto nei giornali cittadini, e nessuno si era presentato a chiedere ragguagli sul progredire delle indagini. “Giovane ucciso durante una rapina” era una di quelle notizie così frequenti, che la gente quasi non ci faceva caso. I giornalisti vi dedicavano le solite cinque righe come studenti svogliati che presentano sempre lo stesso compito a un professore che non ha l’abitudine di correggerli. Adesso però era saltato fuori un diamante, un diamante da un milione di dollari, e i professionisti dell’informazione erano accorsi in massa. Con un milione di dollari addosso anche la morte sembra un’altra. La tranquillità di una cittadina del Middle-West americano è turbata dal ritrovamento di alcuni eccezionali diamanti e da un misterioso delitto. Ha inizio in questo modo una storia destinata a evolversi in maniera imprevedibile. Sulla parodia del genere catastrofista, l’autore costruisce un esempio perfettamente riuscito di romanzo distopico, offrendoci una desolata riflessione sulla società contemporanea. Insieme a Il sogno del prete e Le maschere, Diamanti compone la trilogia Le favole, tre romanzi del tutto autonomi ma accomunati dalla medesima ispirazione e dall’impianto visionario.

Book excerpt: Il volume affronta con taglio operativo la disciplina fiscale, contabile e civilistica delle cooperative edilizie, e costituisce un valido supporto per i professionisti e per coloro che operano nel settore. La struttura dell’opera segue l’ordine consequenziale della vita di una cooperativa; si parte dall’analisi della sua costituzione, con particolare attenzione: alla scelta della tipologia (a proprietà divisa o indivisa) alla figura del socio che nelle cooperative edilizie assume una posizione specifica ai finanziamenti per poi passare all’esame degli aspetti legati alla sua gestione, soffermandosi su: programma costruttivo libri e registri contabili, fiscali e sociali gestione finanziaria chiusura di un lotto vigilanza fase liquidatoria agevolazioni Tutta la trattazione è supportata da schemi, raffronti tra le diverse tipologie di cooperative e tracce di compilazione di verbali. Completa il volume una ricca Appendice che raccoglie i principali interventi normativi, di prassi e giurisprudenza in materia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: London, 1860: On the brink of destitution, Dora Damage illicitly takes over her ailing husband's bookbinding business, only to find herself lured into binding expensive volumes of pornography commissioned by aristocratic roués. Dora's charm and indefatigable spirit carry her through this rude awakening as she contends with violent debt collectors, an epileptic daughter, evil doctors, a rheumatic husband, errant workmen, nosy neighbors, and a constant stream of wealthy dilettantes. When she suddenly finds herself forced to offer an internship to a mysterious, fugitive American slave, Dora realizes she has been pulled into in an illegal trade of sex, money, and deceit. The Journal of Dora Damage conjures a vision of London when it was the largest city in the world, grappling with the filth produced by a swollen population. Against a backdrop of power and politics, work and idleness, conservatism and abolitionism, Belinda Starling explores the restrictions of gender, class, and race, the ties of family and love, and the price of freedom in this wholly engrossing debut novel. REVIEWS: "Unfortunately, Starling's debut novel will be her last; she died prematurely last year at the age of 34. Although the plot is a bit too crowded and overworked-a common novice mistake-this historical melodrama artfully evokes the contradictions inherent in Victorian society. When Dora Damage is forced by circumstances-an invalid husband and an epileptic daughter-to take over the family bookbinding business, she is inexorably drawn into a London netherworld she barely knew existed. As if binding pornographic books for a circle of aristocratic clients isn't bad enough, she is also compelled to harbor Din Nelson, a fugitive American slave. Unable to suppress her emotional and physical attraction for Din, she gives into desire and her real education begins."- Booklist
