Just an ordinary man

Giovanni Bertini

Sinossi

Cacciato di casa e con il cuore a pezzi, Mario vaga per una Genova che improvvisamente gli appare estranea. Trova rifugio nella stazione, dove l'incontro con due donne, l'enigmatica "Signora" e la provocatoria Cinzia, apre squarci inaspettati su una vita che credeva ormai conclusa.  
 
Tra la nostalgia di un amore perduto e la possibilità di una nuova felicità, Mario affronta il dolore dell'abbandono, la paura del futuro e oscuri segreti che lo trascinano in un vortice di eventi pericolosi. "Solo un uomo ordinario" è un romanzo che esplora con stile asciutto e realistico la complessità dell'animo umano e la fragilità dei rapporti, sullo sfondo di una Genova suggestiva e decadente. Un viaggio nell'intimità di un uomo in cerca di riscatto, tra le luci e le ombre di una città che custodisce i suoi segreti.

Mole Creek

James Dunbar

A hellish war. A deadly secret. Fifty years on, in a small Tasmanian town, the truth unfolds and the killing begins again … 
Betrayal cannot be buried forever 
. 
In the tiny Tasmanian town of Mole Creek, retired Australian cop and Vietnam veteran Pete McAuslan has retreated to his fishing cabin to write his memoirs. In Sydney, his grandson, journalist and trashy true crime author Xander, learns that Pete has taken his own life, begging forgiveness in a suicide note. 
 
Arriving in Mole Creek in the aftermath of Pete's death, Xander discovers that his grandfather's laptop is missing. He begins to suspect that something is wrong, refusing to accept the facts as presented. With the local police not interested in investigating an apparently open-and-shut suicide, Xander sets about uncovering the truth of what happened to his grandfather. 
 
In the process, he discovers long-buried secrets from Pete's time serving in the Vietnam war: secrets that Pete has withheld from him and everyone else for fifty years; secrets that powerful people would prefer to stay buried. Ensnared in a web of betrayals that began a generation before, Xander finds himself on the hitlist of a clinically violent assassin. Now he must race to identify the connection between the seemingly unremarkable death of an old Australian soldier and the imminent reactivation of the most powerful and potentially destructive 'sleeper' in the history of espionage – before the truth catches up with him.

Library of the World's Best...

Various Various

The Library of the World's Best Literature, Ancient and Modern, is a work of enormous proportions. Setting out with the simple goal of offering "American households a mass of good reading", the editors drew from literature of all times and all kinds what they considered the best pieces of human writing, and compiled an ambitious collection of 45 volumes (with a 46th being an index-guide). Besides the selection and translation of a huge number of poems, letters, short stories and sections of books, the collection offers, before each chapter, a short essay about the author or subject in question. In many cases, chapters contemplate not one author, but certain groups of works, organized by nationality, subject or period; there is, thus, a chapter on Accadian-Babylonian literature, one on the Holy Grail, and one on Chansons, for example.The result is a collection that holds the interest, for the variety of subjects and forms, but also as a means of first contact with such famous and important authors that many people have heard of, but never read, such as Abelard, Dante or Lord Byron. According to the editor Charles Dudley Warner, this collection "is not a library of reference only, but a library to be read."This sixth volume contains chapters from "Brantôme" to "Bulwer-Lytton". - Summary by Leni
