Sinossi

Tales of Crime & Violence is a collective of three books of short, and not so short stories. 
The ideas and inspiration are many and as varied as each of the individual stories themselves. 
Although each tales in these books are about committing crime, or being involved in acts of violence, the real story is of those involved, why and how they came to be in this position, whether they were forced or coerced, willing participants or victims themselves. 
 
Not all is quite how it seems to the casual observer. Read on to find out why.
Disponibile da: 19/12/2023.
Lunghezza di stampa: 88 pagine.

    On the surface, Ha Seong-nan's stories seem pleasant enough, yet there's something disturbing just below the surface, ready to permanently disrupt the characters' lives.A woman meets her next-door neighbor and loans her a spatula, then starts suffering horrific gaps in her memory. A man, feeling jilted by an unrequited love, becomes obsessed with sorting through his neighbors' garbage in the belief that it will teach him how to better relate to people. A landlord decides to raise the rent, and his tenants hatch a plan to kill him at a team-building retreat.In ten captivating, unnerving stories, Flowers of Mold presents a range of ordinary individuals—male and female, young and old—who have found themselves left behind by an increasingly urbanized and fragmented world. The latest in the trend of brilliant female Korean authors to appear in English, Ha cuts like a surgeon, and even the most mundane objects become menacing and unfamiliar under her scalpel.

    Will Father Brown discover who killed the well-to-do ne’er-do-well? It appears as though he was stricken with the hammer of God. Is that a thing?  
G.K. Chesterton is most notable for his creation of Father Brown. This unlooked for, and often unwelcome, detective is actually not a detective. But rather, an individual self-trained to think as criminals think, for he has heard so many of their confessions. He knows how their minds work, and can piece together many things that others cannot.  
This story is from the first collection of Father Brown Stories, The Innocence of Father Brown.

Only the horse dealer's daughter, Mabel, remains silent. She has made up her mind what to do...but will not communicate with the others.A visit from Jack Ferguson, the local doctor, shifts the focus to this character.
