Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is the original title of a novella written by the famous Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson that was first published in 1886. The work is commonly known today as The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, or simply Jekyll &amp; Hyde.

The Fellowship was scattered. Some were bracing hopelessly for war against the ancient evil of Sauron. Some were contending with the treachery of the wizard Saruman. Only Frodo and Sam were left to take the accursed Ring of Power to be destroyed in Mordor–the dark Kingdom where Sauron was supreme. Their guide was Gollum, deceitful and lust-filled, slave to the corruption of the Ring. Thus continues the magnificent, bestselling tale of adventure begun in The Fellowship of the Ring, which reaches its soul-stirring climax in The Return of the King.

«Mi creda, avrà bisogno ancora di un sacco di caffè oggi. Sarà una cosa lunga.» Nella saletta colloqui del seminterrato del reparto psichiatrico dell’ospedale Frank Bennell, stimato criminologo alla soglia della pensione, chiede aiuto a Robert Winter, psicologo con cui ha collaborato in numerosi casi di omicidio. Però i due esperti dei lati oscuri della natura umana questa volta sono messi a dura prova. La donna che si trovano davanti, sopravvissuta a un grave incidente su una strada di montagna immersa nella nebbia e battuta dalla pioggia, sembra oscillare tra realtà terribili e allucinazioni. Si chiama Laura Schrader, trentadue anni, capelli biondi; sull'auto accanto a lei una pistola vecchio modello col caricatore vuoto e un baule in cui si nasconde una dura verità. Nel suo sguardo diffidenza e terrore. Perfino Winter, il quale nella sua carriera ha ascoltato dai suoi pazienti storie così plausibili da rendere difficile smascherarle, non sa come mettere in ordine i pochi elementi ricavati con tanta fatica dalla donna: l'uomo che l'ha salvata chiamando i soccorsi e poi è sparito nel nulla, bambini dagli occhi di ghiaccio, misteriose uccisioni… Fatica a collegarli a quanto si vede nella foto che gli ha mostrato il collega: qualcosa di terribile, che supera ogni immaginazione.In una lunga notte, fuori dalla clinica, sotto un cielo nero e gonfio di odio sta succedendo qualcosa. Ma cosa? Bisogna credere a quella donna per arrivare in tempo. Se sarà ancora possibile.Un romanzo forte come un pugno allo stomaco, con un ritmo serratissimo. Un altro Incubo, radicale, definitivo, ma anche provocatorio, che ci costringe a riflettere da un altro punto di vista sulle nostre responsabilità verso il mondo dopo di noi.

Doch dann bittet ihn ein Journalist um Mithilfe im Fall einer geistig gestörten Person und wird kurz darauf ermordet. Jan erkennt, dass er ins Visier einer Wahnsinnigen geraten ist. Und seine Verfolgerin schreckt vor nichts zurück.

Lavorare in un ospedale psichiatrico è difficile. Ogni giorno la dottoressa Ellen Roth si scontra con un'umanità reietta, con la sofferenza più indicibile, con il buio della mente. Tuttavia, a questo caso non era preparata: la stanza numero 7 è satura di terrore, la paziente rannicchiata ai suoi piedi è stata picchiata, seviziata. È chiusa in se stessa, mugola parole senza senso. Dice che l’Uomo Nero la sta cercando. La sua voce è raccapricciante, è la voce di una bambina in un corpo di donna: le sussurra che adesso prenderà anche lei, Ellen, perché nessuno può sfuggire all’Uomo Nero. E quando il giorno dopo la paziente scompare dall’ospedale senza lasciare traccia, per Ellen incomincia l’incubo. Nessuno l’ha vista uscire, nessuno l’aveva vista entrare. Ellen la vuole rintracciare a tutti i costi ma viene coinvolta in un macabro gioco da cui non sa come uscire. Chi è quella donna? Cosa le è successo? E chi è veramente l’Uomo Nero? Ellen non può far altro che tentare di mettere insieme le tessere di un puzzle diabolico, mentre precipita in un abisso di violenza, paranoia e angoscia.Eppure sa che, alla fine, tutti i nodi verranno al pettine…

So, then. You want a story and I will tell you one...Afghanistan, 1952. Abdullah and his sister Pari live with their father and stepmother in the small village of Shadbagh. Their father, Saboor, is constantly in search of work and they struggle together through poverty and brutal winters. To Abdullah, Pari - as beautiful and sweet-natured as the fairy for which she was named - is everything. More like a parent than a brother, Abdullah will do anything for her, even trading his only pair of shoes for a feather for her treasured collection. Each night they sleep together in their cot, their heads touching, their limbs tangled. One day the siblings journey across the desert to Kabul with their father. Pari and Abdullah have no sense of the fate that awaits them there, for the event which unfolds will tear their lives apart; sometimes a finger must be cut to save the hand. Crossing generations and continents, moving from Kabul, to Paris, to San Francisco, to the Greek island of Tinos, with profound wisdom, depth, insight and compassion, Khaled Hosseini writes about the bonds that define us and shape our lives, the ways in which we help our loved ones in need, how the choices we make resonate through history and how we are often surprised by the people closest to us.

A Thousand Splendid Suns is a breathtaking story set against the volatile events of Afghanistan's last thirty years—from the Soviet invasion to the reign of the Taliban to post-Taliban rebuilding—that puts the violence, fear, hope, and faith of this country in intimate, human terms. It is a tale of two generations of characters brought jarringly together by the tragic sweep of war, where personal lives—the struggle to survive, raise a family, find happiness—are inextricable from the history playing out around them.Propelled by the same storytelling instinct that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once a remarkable chronicle of three decades of Afghan history and a deeply moving account of family and friendship. It is a striking, heart-wrenching novel of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love—a stunning accomplishment.--front flap

The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father’s servant, The Kite Runner is a beautifully crafted novel set in a country that is in the process of being destroyed. It is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption; and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons—their love, their sacrifices, their lies.A sweeping story of family, love, and friendship told against the devastating backdrop of the history of Afghanistan over the last thirty years, The Kite Runner is an unusual and powerful novel that has become a beloved, one-of-a-kind classic.--khaledhosseini.com

The bestselling Turkish classic of love and longing in a changing world, available in English for the first time. 'It is, perhaps, easier to dismiss a man whose face gives no indication of an inner life. And what a pity that is: a dash of curiosity is all it takes to stumble upon treasures we never expected.' A shy young man leaves his home in rural Turkey to learn a trade in 1920s Berlin. The city's crowded streets, thriving arts scene, passionate politics and seedy cabarets provide the backdrop for a chance meeting with a woman, which will haunt him for the rest of his life. Emotionally powerful, intensely atmospheric and touchingly profound, Madonna in a Fur Coat is an unforgettable novel about new beginnings and the unfathomable nature of the human soul. 'Passionate but clear... Ali's success [is in ] his ability to describe the emergence of a feeling, seemingly straightforward from the outside but swinging back and forth between opposite extremes at its core, revealing the tensions that accompanies such rise and fall.' Atilla Özkirimli, writer and literary historian

"İsteyip istemediğimi doğru dürüst bilmediğim, fakat neticesi aleyhime çıkarsa istemediğimi iddia ettiğim bu nevi söz ve fiillerimin daimi bir mesulünü bulmuştum: Buna içimdeki şeytan diyordum, müdafaasını üzerime almaktan korktuğum bütün hareketlerimi ona yüklüyor ve kendi suratıma tüküreceğim yerde, haksızlığa, tesadüfün cilvesine uğramış bir mazlum gibi nefsimi şefkat ve ihtimama layık görüyordum. Halbuki ne şeytanı azizim, ne şeytanı? Bu bizim gururumuzun, salaklığımızın uydurması... İçimizdeki şeytan pek de kurnazca olmayan bir kaçamak yolu... İçimizde şeytan yok... İçimizde aciz var... Tembellik var... İradesizlik, bilgisizlik ve bunların hepsinden daha korkunç bir şey: hakikatleri görmekten kaçmak itiyadı var..."Bu romanında, toplumsal gündemin kişilikler üzerindeki baskısını ve güçsüz insanın "kapana kısılmışlığını" gösteriyor Sabahattin Ali. Aydın geçinenlerin karanlığına, "insanın içindeki şeytan"a keskin bir bakış.

An intimate portrait of two men who cherish the slim bond between them and the dream they share in a world marred by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy, and callousness. Clinging to each other in their loneliness and alienation, George and his simple-minded friend Lennie dream, as drifters will, of a place to call their own—a couple of acres and a few pigs, chickens, and rabbits back in Hill Country where land is cheap. But after they come to work on a ranch in the fertile Salinas Valley of California, their hopes, like "the best laid schemes o' mice an' men," begin to go awry.Of Mice and Men also represents an experiment in form, as Steinbeck described his work, "a kind of playable novel, written in novel form but so scened and set that it can be played as it stands." A rarity in American letters, it achieved remarkable success as a novel, a Broadway play, and three acclaimed films. Steinbeck's tale of commitment, loneliness, hope, and loss remains one of America's most widely read and beloved novels.--front flap
