Love has many forms, many needs. Some fall into the dark, into the shadows. Forbidden love has connotations of desire, of possession but also of matters far more unsavoury. It’s a delicate facet of love that our classic authors explain with careful words and superbly crafted narratives.

In questo quarto volume della tetralogia della Storia contemporanea, il signor Bergeret, promosso docente alla Sorbona, si trasferisce a Parigi con la sorella e la figlia Paolina. Con la sorella esplora il proprio passato, incontrato casualmente nella sua vecchia casa d’infanzia, sfitta e rovinata; con la figlia acquista una brillante ascoltatrice dei suoi discorsi filosofici, divenuti, finalmente, ottimisti.

Anatole France (1844 – 1924), è stato uno scrittore francese, Premio Nobel per la letteratura nell'anno 1921. Nel 1896 iniziò a scrivere la Tetralogia della storia contemporanea, composto di quattro romanzi, di cui questo è il primo. I romanzi hanno per protagonista il signor Bergeret, modesto e disilluso, ma colto e arguto professore di un liceo di provincia, attraverso i cui occhi France descrive la società del suo tempo.

In questo terzo libro della Storia contemporanea, il signor Bergeret si riconcilia finalmente con la vita. Diventato professore titolare, acquisita la dolce compagnia di un cane, continua, fra riflessioni filosofiche e prese di posizioni politiche del tutto scomode riguardanti l’affare Dreyfus, ad accompagnarci nel viaggio di questa Francia in cui governi radicali e conservatori si alternano, e in cui l’antisemitismo viene considerato patriottico.

Es difícil valorar hoy lo que significó Anatole France en su tiempo. Fue un escritor adorado por los liberales del mundo occidental.

In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. Love is good. It’s positive, a source of joy, nourishment and all over goodness. But sometimes other more malevolent forces come to play. They infect that love, they see their form as better. Instinctively we would shy away but sometimes its pull is too powerful, almost attractive. We are drawn closer into the shadows.

Our fear of the Devil, whatever his temptations and rewards, is amplified by the thought of eternal damnation in his hell house service. In this volume our authors are all from Europe and see the Devil in ways that we recognise and yet are culturally distinct to the European mainland.

Whilst faith can be practiced anywhere religious faith is usually at a church or temple. The stories in this volume are centered both in houses of worship and with those with a strong association to its calling.

In this volume they take us on literary journeys that are revealing and challenging yet always entertaining.

Azt hiszem, a kutya az egyike az ember legsikeresebb háziasítási kísérleteinek. Amióta szolgálatunkba léptek, a legsokoldalúbb barátaink. Társaságot nyújtanak, mikor erre van szükségünk vigasztalnak. Rendőrkutyaként kiszimatolják a bűnt, és szemévé lesznek azoknak, akik nem látnak. Őrzik tulajdonunkat, százféle módon vigyáznak ránk. Ezek a történetek ékesen bizonyítják, milyen hihetetlenül sokoldalú és elbűvölő állatok.

The problem with the dark is you don’t really know what’s lurking in there. Something hiding? Something menacing? Or just an inky dome for the stars to twinkle on? Writers rarely let us dwell on the latter. No, they would much rather they put our nerves on edge, that our skin would begin to crawl and that the cold sweat of fear propels our pulse and heartbeat to nightmare-inducing trauma. I think they’re ready.

In questo secondo volume della tetralogia della Storia contemporanea, che segue “L’olmo del Mail”, troviamo il signor Bergeret impegnato in discussioni politiche sulla corruzione dei funzionari della Repubblica e su questioni di morale cristiana e non, mentre, nella sua vita domestica (di cui il manichino di vimini è ingrato simbolo), egli acquisisce “l’inestimabile vantaggio di essere tradito”.Cornice musicale: A real slow rag, di Scott Joplin.

La tragedia di un poveruomo stritolato da una macchina infernale. E questa prima impressione viene alla fine confermata da un epilogo incerto quanto doloroso. Ma tra la tesi e la sintesi, nel mezzo, si collocano infiniti spunti che meritano una scomposizione analitica, e che spiegano il corso degli eventi che travolgono lo sfortunato carrettiere. Ne voglio cogliere due, perché sono più attuali che mai: la strumentalizzazione della legge e la sua sostanziale ipocrisia.

First published in 1908, and widely regraded as his masterpiece, Penguin Island is Anatole France's most searching and satirical novel. A humorous critique of customs and laws, rituals and rites, its subject is human nature, but its characters are penguins in the mythical land of Penguinia. The story of the strutting penguins and their virtues and vices is not merely a burlesque allegory of French history, it is a satire of the history of mankind. With gentle yet biting irony, France challenges the Spencerian belief in the ultimate perfectibility of man, though his irony reveals his sympathy for man's weaknesses and his need for social institutions.

In the dim candlelight, ghostly figures and ethereal whispers fill the sacred space, weaving an eerie tapestry of fear and fascination.
