След театралния успех, Патриция Кайфа пренася читателите си в света на "Секса & кухнята". Три раказа, взети от радващите се…
наогромен интерес представления, които описват няколко напълно различни истории, три случки, видяни през двоен обектив: сексът и чревоугодничеството. Любовта към готвенето или търсена чрез него. Тема, която свързва героинята - мечтателка от "Булото и азбуката" в измъчената ѝ Сицилия, ексцентричните любовници от "Аз мога, наслаждавам се" и пристрастения към готвенето воин от "Черен като болката". Герои без воля в едно отношение - онова между еротиката и храната - което надхвърля понятията за време и място. Разказите са придружени от театралните постановки, от които се раждат, станали още по-ценни чрез прекрасните авторски снимки и илюстрации на Луиджи Пагано.

Short storiesBiography
Галати Мамертино е малко планинско селце, сгушено сред полите на планината Неброди, от чиито стени блика история: и това е…
само една малка част от тази история, която "Късче от рая" ни кара да съпреживеем. Посредством двадесеттте разказа, изпъстрени с действителнигерои, опияняващи аромати и антични вкусове авторът обрисува една фреска от своята младост, като влага разумна доза фантазия и реалност. Докато четем страниците, можем да усетим слабия глас на Юга, приглушен от вцепенението, породено от примирението и тъгата, но и задъхващ се от любовта по едно отминало време, към една бедна и окървавана земя, изнемощяла и ранена от бича на бедността, неправдата и емиграцията, но винаги жива в спомените на хората, които са я напуснали. Именно този спомен засяда в душата и сякаш иска да образува емоционален свръхбагаж, който кипи и се разлива под формата на думи, мисли и образи за едно време, за един ден или за един миг, които са били изживени и които все още успяват да предизвикат вълнение.

Romance
"Неподвижният живот" е едно пасивно състояние, от което не може да се излезе, огорчението от един неизживян живот. Точно това…
е душевното състояние, което авторът се опитва да ни предаде чрез тази своя прокълната творба. Средството са петнадесетте разказа, които я съставят.Vincent Fleur описва герои потопени в тази "воняща клоака" на тръпчиво-горчиво-сладникаво-кисело ежедневие, на безполезни напъни за изплуване и на живот живян наужким. Започва с един мним диалог между двама близнаци "в утробата" и от една автоматична машина за закуски, която се превръща в спасение от ежедневното, мизерно съществувание; продължава по пътя, който води до секси дами с много наточени зъби (Джаз и Анален коитус), транссексуалци, които се надсмиват на тъжни предприемачи (Милано Милейди) и до скучният и еднообразен провинциален живот на тези, които си мечтаят за големи и приказни градове (Сувенир от Париж), за да достигне накрая до "пеперудите в стомаха", много по-страшни от чудовищата, които се крият в мрака на нашето подсъзнание (Пеперуди).

Classic fiction, General fiction
[This edition is in Bulgarian.] The best American novel to emerge from World War I, A Farewell to Arms is…
the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse. Hemingway’s frank portrayal of the love between Lieutenant Henry and Catherine Barkley, caught in the inexorable sweep of war, glows with an intensity unrivaled in modern literature, while his description of the German attack on Caporetto—of lines of fired men marching in the rain, hungry, weary, and demoralized—is one of the greatest moments in literary history. A story of love and pain, of loyalty and desertion, A Farewell to Arms, written when he was thirty years old, represents a new romanticism for Hemingway.

Khasakkinte Itihasam does not have a single narrative plot. It is crafted in the form of the spiritual journey of…
an under-graduate dropout, Ravi, plagued by the guilt of an illicit affair he had with his stepmother. Ravi abandons a bright academic career and a research offer from Princeton University. He deserts his lover Padma and leaves on a long pilgrimage, which finally brings him to the small hamlet of Khasak near Palakkad. At Khasak, he starts a single-teacher school as part of the District Board’s education initiative. The novel begins with Ravi’s arrival at Khasak and his encounters with its people, Allappicha Mollakka, Appukkili, Shivaraman Nair, Madhavan Nair, Kuppuvachan, Maimoona, Khaliyar, Aliyar, and the students of his school like Kunhamina, Karuvu, Unipparadi, Kochusuhara and others. After some years, his lover Padma calls on him and Ravi decides to leave Khasak. He commits suicide through snake-bite while waiting for a bus at Koomankavu. The novel has no story-line per se. It recounts the numerous encounters of Khasak from a spiritual and philosophical frame of mind. Through these encounters, Vijayan narrates numerous stories, myths and superstitions cherished in Khasak. He places them in opposition to the scientific and rational world outside, which is now making inroads into the hamlet through Ravi's single-teacher school. The irony of the interface between these two worlds occupies substantial space in the novel. Through the myths and stories, Vijayan also explores similar encounters of the past recounted by the people of Khasak, enabling him to have a distinctly unique view of cultural encounters across time and space. It is considered as an epic of sin, sexuality, and self-destruction. Ravi and Padma are celebrated for their unfulfilled union and Ravi's feel of loss of self-esteem due to former sins. Palmera trees become a backdrop of almost the entire description.

This ebook is a slim volume of aphorisms and parables written in biblical cadence somewhere between poetry and prose (First…
published 1918). You ask me how I became a madman. It happened thus: One day, long before many gods were born, I woke from a deep sleep and found all my masks were stolen,—the seven masks I have fashioned and worn in seven lives,—I ran maskless through the crowded streets shouting, “Thieves, thieves, the cursed thieves.” Men and women laughed at me and some ran to their houses in fear of me. And when I reached the market place, a youth standing on a house-top cried, “He is a madman.” I looked up to behold him; the sun kissed my own naked face for the first time. For the first time the sun kissed my own naked face and my soul was inflamed with love for the sun, and I wanted my masks no more. And as if in a trance I cried, “Blessed, blessed are the thieves who stole my masks.” Thus I became a madman. And I have found both freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us to enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief.
