Jailbird. Klepto. Spectacular failure to launch. Nicole Wood’s sticky fingers have earned her many names, but it’s not that she’s stealing—some objects just need to be moved elsewhere, and the universe has chosen her to do it. Still, being a relocator of objects isn’t easy. With her marriage on the rocks, no real-world skills, and the threat of prison hanging over her head, Nicole is determined to change her ways.

Concierto para delinquir es una divertida aventura de exiliados. La historia se inicia en París y concluye en Puerto Galeón, un pintoresco puerto del Caribe, al que van a parar, un anarquista uruguayo - de profesión grabador y pintor - y un trotamundos español - que sobrevive del oficio de cuentero - para incendiar de amor, irreverencia y poesía a los habitantes del lugar.

Concierto para Delinquir es un exquisito relato del realismo mágico que nos llevará a situaciones inusuales llenas de humor, intriga, amistad, poder y odio.

On an unnamed archipelago off the east coast of Britain, the impossible has come to pass. Women control the civic institutions. Decide how the islands’ money is spent. Run the businesses. Tend to their families. Teach the children hope for a better world. They say that this gynotopia is Eva Levi’s life’s work, and that now she has disappeared, it will be destroyed. But they don’t know about Cwen. Cwen has been here longer than the civilisation she has returned to haunt. The clouds are her children, and the waves.

On the glistening surface of Virginia Woolf’s groundbreaking novel is the Ramsay family, a seemingly stable group of characters, but a group that is ultimately subject to the same alterations and losses that come with the passing of time. Set at the Ramsays’ summerhouse over two September days, ten years apart, Woolf’s influential landmark of twentieth-century literature explores the hopes, frustrations, and small moments of grace and change that permeate everyday life.

Il mondo fantastico e magico, inquietante e surreale di Buzzati poteva forse trovare occasione più felice, per confrontarsi con la realtà quotidiana, che un'inchiesta giornalistica sui fenomeni di parapsicologia? E infatti Buzzati la colse con contagioso entusiasmo nell'estate del'65, quando scrisse per il "Corriere della Sera" una serie di "pezzi" dal titolo "In cerca dell'Italia misteriosa".
