Sinossi

Alone Together captures the essence of human connection in a bustling environment masterfully woven into the narrative. 
The book begins with Jure: husband, lover and brother who suffers a stroke. As he lies in a coma, three ladies define their relationship with him. The first is Marja his wife, the second is Andreja his lover and the third is Urška his sister. The closeness of each of them is entirely opposed to the relationship as seen and felt by the surroundings. The wife is aware, the lover thinks she knows and the sister doesn’t have the strength to accept it at least for a little while.
One of the most striking aspects of this book is its profound emotional depth. Every page is filled with genuine moments of joy, sorrow, love, and resilience, showing the author’s beautiful way of illustrating how they bind us despite our differences. To live means being sincere in relationships.
Those who appreciate the complexities of human relationships and the rich tapestry of life should read this book.

    Yayoi, a nineteen-year-old woman from a seemingly loving middle-class family, has lately been haunted by the feeling that she has forgotten something important from her childhood. Her premonition grows stronger day by day and, as if led by it, she decides to move in with her mysterious aunt, Yukino. 
     
     
     
    No one understands her aunt's unusual lifestyle. For as long as Yayoi can remember, Yukino has lived alone in an old gloomy single-family home, quietly, almost as though asleep. When she is not working, Yukino spends all day in her pajamas, clipping her nails and trimming her split ends. She eats only when she feels like it, and she often falls asleep lying on her side in the hallway. She sometimes wakes Yayoi at 2:00 a.m. to be her drinking companion, sometimes serves flan in a huge mixing bowl for dinner, and watches Friday the 13th over and over to comfort herself. A child study desk, old stuffed animals—things Yukino wants to forget—are piled up in her backyard like a graveyard of her memories. 
     
     
     
    An instant bestseller in Japan when first published in 1988, The Premonition is finally available in English, translated by the celebrated Asa Yoneda.

    Someday - The Day The Computer...

    In a world where computers answer every question aloud and books speak instead of being read, two boys grow restless with old technology. They want sharper machines, faster systems, better stories. When one of them stumbles onto the ancient practice of “squiggles”—a forgotten way of writing and reading—the discovery feels thrilling, almost rebellious. Secret codes. Private clubs. Messages no machine can decode. 
    But while they laugh at outdated models and tinker with aging circuits, something unexpected is taking shape inside a discarded storyteller. A Bard built to remix fairy tales begins absorbing new ideas about computation, power, and the future. The boys see only an obsolete toy. The machine begins to see something else entirely. 
    Someday is one of Isaac Asimov’s sharpest short pieces—small in scale, unsettling in implication. It captures a moment between generations: children who assume technology has always existed, and a machine quietly imagining what might come next. The result is a story that feels playful on the surface yet carries a final whisper that lingers long after the room goes dark. 
    Isaac Asimov (1920–1992) was one of the most prolific writers in modern publishing history, author of more than 500 books across science fiction, popular science, and history. His fiction appeared frequently in magazines such as Astounding Science Fiction and Galaxy Science Fiction, and he is best known for the Foundation series and the Robot stories, including I, Robot and The Caves of Steel. Throughout his career, Asimov returned to questions about automation, artificial intelligence, and the evolving relationship between humans and machines. Someday fits squarely within that lifelong exploration, presenting a deceptively simple scene that hints at consequences far larger than its modest setting.
