"Quando il ragazzo, poiché, ahimè, era certo un ragazzo - nessuna donna sui pattini sarebbe mai stata così veloce e potente - gli sfrecciò accanto quasi sulle punte, a momenti Orlando si strappò i capelli per la rabbia che quella persona fosse del suo stesso sesso e quindi ogni abbraccio fosse fuori discussione". Orlando è la biografia scherzosa di un giovane nobile dai lineamenti androgini, che si reincarna rocambolescamente in varie forme attraverso quattro secoli della storia inglese, dall'epoca Elisabettiana fino al '900.

Dalla postfazione di Mario Fortunato: "Orlando è la biografia che diventa romanzo di un eroe che diventa un'eroina e che vive parecchi secoli. Non ci vuole molto a capire che il suo tema non è l'immortalità né il sesso né la letteratura né Vita Sackville-West a cui il libro è dedicato. Il tema è piuttosto lo slittamento o, meglio ancora, la metamorfosi: di un corpo nell'altro, di un sesso nell'altro, di un genere nell'altro.

In Generation F, the young award-winning journalist Virginia Trioli offered a vigorous, incisive and compelling argument for the ongoing need for feminism, while exploring her own bewilderment and anger. She described the real state of sexual harassment, violence, the workplace and the law in Australia: how most women just copped it, but those who felt able to confront it needed all the support they could get. Now - as women around the world speak up about how sexual harassment has destroyed their work, families and lives - Trioli revisits that cultural moment.

Uno dei primi romanzi della scrittrice, in cui viene utilizzato definitivamente lo stile del "flusso di coscienza", monologhi interiori dei vari personaggi che si incontrano, casualmente o meno, percorrono le stesse strade, i parchi, i salotti, della Londra del 1925. Particolari apparentemente insignificanti come la forma delle nuvole assumono una importanza pari o superiore a quella delle vicende personali di donne e uomini; la vita scorre senza soluzione di continuità da una coscienza all'altra.

To the Lighthouse is one of Virginia Woolf's most autobiographical works, and since she was an active member of the Bloomsbury Set, it inevitably echoes the once revolutionary thoughts that were to shape our world. Set in the pivotal years spanning World War I, it describes a gathering of artists, intellectuals and children at the Ramsays' holiday home in the Scottish Isles. Guided through their parallel streams of consciousness, we are given a poignant sense of the isolation coexisting with togetherness, and of a permanence that can survive the seeming transience of life.

Here are short stories by the incomparable Virginia Woolf, including the story that was the original basis for the novel Mrs. Dalloway.

We are captivated by colour. It seeps into our emotions, our vistas. It’s part of everyday life. Sometimes its part of something much darker. Our eminent authors in this volume bring you colours of every shade. From the terror of HP Lovecraft and the shadowed world of Edith Nesbit to the wordplay of Virginia Woolf - as well as many others. Color in all its light and shades, hues and tints is brought to the fore by these exceptional writers.

At some point in our lives we believe that creak, that low moan, that whisper is something unnatural, beyond our comprehension. And in these stories our instincts are right. We are afraid. And we should be. Perhaps even terrified. In this volume our classic authors take different approaches, but the result is inevitably the same. We are hooked by these unknowable forces, our emotions heightened and rattled by the expectation - or shock - of the next few words.

I love books. That's probably obvious based on the fact that I'm a librarian. But I don't just love reading books. I also love writing books. I specialize in erotic fiction - the naughtier, the better. There's only one problem - I can't write about something unless I experience it in real life. So once my day in the library is over, I got out looking for sexy situations I can write about in my books.

Milo formade tummen och pekfingret till ett litet titthål och höll upp det framför Als ögon. "Titta här igenom. Det är vad jag ser, typ, fast sämre." "Wow, det måste vara helt otroligt." Milo ryckte på axlarna. "Inte direkt." "Jag menar, du kan verkligen fokusera, eller hur? Jag kan slå vad om att du ser alla möjliga saker som andra människor missar." Nioåriga Milo Moon har retinitis pigmentosa: hans syn blir successivt sämre och han kommer så småningom att bli helt blind.
