Humor Anthology

Zbiór opowieści o niestandardowych świętych, których losy zostały związane z dziwnym Osiedlem, gdzie kontakt ze zmarłymi jest możliwy w przestrzeni wirtualnej, a czas da się nie tylko zatrzymać, ale także zawrócić. Osiedlowi święci żyją nie tylko w sąsiedztwie kościoła, lecz także sklepu monopolowego i ławki w parku, a koleje losów postaci opowiadane są z dużą dozą absurdalnego humoru.

Alfredo Panzini, noto per le sue novelle spesso umoristiche, ci propone in questa opera dei ritratti di persone e situazioni a volte aspri, sempre leggermente distaccati, spesso vicini alle idee sulla famiglia e sulle relazioni con le quali sono cresciuti i nati nel secolo ventesimo. La cornice musicale è cantata da Enrico Caruso.

A dozen stories set from NYC to LA, to Asheville to Varanasi.

Wie kann es sein, dass wir in jeder kurzen Pause, die uns der Tag bietet, sofort auf unser Handy schauen und uns ablenken? Sind wir vielleicht einfach zu faul zum Nichtstun geworden?

Dort begegnet er Katzen, die seine Pakete entgegennehmen, und Toastern, die unsere Zukunft planen, sowie Nonnen, die ihm die Künstliche Intelligenz erklären.

Alicia Erian's characters are brave, disarming, affectionate, and deeply flawed. They inhabit the not-so-very-wide space between a good intention and a bad outcome. The Brutal Language of Love challenges traditional notions of right and wrong with what has become Erian's signature—an achingly stylish humor and a deep understanding of the brutal truth about human nature. These surprising, provocative, and deeply resonant stories marked the emergence of a major talent.
