Sinossi

A sequence of scattered frames on this Planet, of stories at first glance disconnected and dragged along by the rush of contemporary society, turns into a fine balance of chance and necessity.
What may seem like an ordinary day in our existence is reduced to twenty-four simultaneous stories contained within the span of a single hour.
A turn of the clock that punctuates Time, the true master of today's Odyssey in which we are immersed, transcending history and mocking elementary logical principles.
Disponibile da: 18/04/2023.
Lunghezza di stampa: 623 pagine.

    William Fryer Harvey AM was born on 14th April 1885 into a wealthy Quaker family in Leeds, West Yorkshire. 
He was educated at the Quaker Bootham School in Yorkshire and Leighton Park School in Reading before university at Balliol College, Oxford.  
His health was fragile and he poured his energies into writing short stories and in 1910 published his first collection ‘Midnight House’. 
In the Great War he was with the Friends' Ambulance Unit and then served as a surgeon-lieutenant in the Royal Navy.  There he received the Albert Medal for Lifesaving but lung damage received at that time troubled him for the rest of his life. 
He continued to write short stories, and even a memoir, but by 1925 ill health had forced his retirement to any outside work.  Three years later he published his second collection which contained his macabre classic ‘The Beast with Five fingers’, only one more collection would come from his pen in his lifetime. 
For many years of his life he now lived in Switzerland with his wife but a yearning to be home saw them come back to England in 1935. 
W F Harvey died in Letchworth on the 4th June 1937. He was 52.

    A new collection of A. A. Milne’s short stories for grown-ups. Gathered in full for the first time, they include several never published before. They show Milne’s renowned charm, concision and whimsical flair in all their brilliance. 
 
He paints memorable scenes – from a children’s birthday party, to an accidental encounter with murder, and a case of blackmail – often with an unexpected twist. But he also deals in poignancy, from the girl who pulls the wool over her boyfriend’s eyes, to a first dance and first disappointment or family reunion and domestic dissonance. 
 
Beguiling and evocative, Milne’s thought-provoking stories for adults will make you see his works for children in a whole new light.

    In this classic tale, the young Puritan Goodman Brown heads into the woods for a meeting with the devil. His world turns on its head, however, when he sees who else has gathered for the satanic ceremony. This one evening will forever mar how he sees his neighbors, his family, and himself. See for yourself why Hawthorne’s chilling allegory for Puritan culture and the loss of innocence has become a staple of early American fiction.
