Sinossi

Master Flea: A Fairy-Tale in Seven Adventures of Two Friends is a humorous fairytale fantasy novel by E. T. A. Hoffmann first published in 1822. Set in the city of Frankfurt am Main, the novel follows the story of Peregrinus Tyss, who becomes entangled in the conflict between supernatural characters in bourgeois form over Dörtje Elverdink, in reality Princess Gamaheh of Famagusta.

Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (24 January 1776 – 25 June 1822) was a German Romantic author of fantasy and Gothic horror, a jurist, composer, music critic and artist.
His stories form the basis of Jacques Offenbach's opera The Tales of Hoffmann, in which Hoffmann appears (heavily fictionalized) as the hero. He is also the author of the novella The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, on which Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker is based. The ballet Coppélia is based on two other stories that Hoffmann wrote, while Schumann's Kreisleriana is based on Hoffmann's character Johannes Kreisler.

    'Nothing exists; all is a dream. God—man—the world—the sun, the moon, the wilderness of stars—a dream, all a dream; they have no existence. Nothing exists save empty space—and you!'
    
    Published posthumously, The Mysterious Stranger is Mark Twain's final, unfinished novella, showcasing the writer at his most chilling.
    
    Set in a quiet Austrian town during the medieval period, Twain's provocative tale follows three children whose lives are thrown into chaos by the arrival of a charming yet enigmatic youth named Satan. Through the use of heavenly powers, Satan executes miracles with ease, magically transporting his peers back in time and forcing them to witness witch trials, hangings and influxes of mass hysteria. He unveils unsettling truths, highlighting the hypocrisies of religion, morality and human nature. By turns whimsical and profoundly existential, Twain crafts a fable that cleverly questions the very fabric of the human experience: free will, the nature of evil and the illusion of reality. The result is a bold, haunting and eerily modern adventure that lingers long after the last word.
    Mark Twain (1835 – 1910), the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was an American writer and essayist. Famed for his wit and satire, he quickly became a sought-after writer and speaker, and was labelled the 'greatest humorist the United States has produced' by the New York Times. Today, he is considered as the father of modern American literature.

    Just like Beauty is a brilliantly inventive debut novel that blends adolescent angst and cultural satire and is set in a disconcertingly not-so-distant future complete with high-tech food, mutant animals, socially sanctioned violence, and despoliation of the planet. This surprising combination gives author Lisa Lerner a fresh and funny way to explore family dynamics, gender roles, competitiveness, and the "beauty myth" in a society that keeps reinventing them anew for each generation. 
    A plague of mutant grasshoppers is invading American suburbia. An underground suicide cult is gaining national prominence. Gangs of teenage boys with blow torches run amok. But what really has fourteen-year-old Edie Stein distracted from her town's annual Feminine Woman of Conscience Pageant is Lana Grimaldi, the sexy girl next door. How does a feminine woman of conscience deal with her? 
    Just like Beauty offers a comically trenchant look at where our culture is heading and the absurdity that passes for ordinary.
