The Decameron is one of the greatest literary works of the Middle Ages. Ten young people have fled the terrible effects of the Black Death in Florence and, in an idyllic setting, tell a series of brilliant stories, by turns humorous, bawdy, tragic and provocative. This celebration of physical and sexual vitality is Boccaccio's answer to the sublime other-worldliness of Dante's Divine Comedy.

A brilliant skeptic, Jose Saramago envisions the life of Jesus Christ and the story of his Passion as things of this earth: A child crying, the caress of a woman half asleep, the bleat of a goat, a prayer uttered in the grayish morning light. His idea of the Holy Family reflects the real complexities of any family, and, as only Saramago can, he imagines them with tinges of vision, dream, and omen.

When around new people there are often awkward moments when neither of you know what to say. Maybe you fumble and say something stupid. Afterwards, you say to yourself, "I can’t believe I said that". Speaking in public with confidence not only means you are a "public speaker". It can put you in line for the next promotion, or keep your head off the chopping block when your company is making people redundant. It also means connecting to people you want to connect with, at social events, and elsewhere.

What if, one day, Europe was to crack along the length of the Pyrenees, separating the Iberian peninsula? In Saramago's lovely fable, the new island is sent spinning, like a great stone raft, towards the Azores. While the authorities panic and tourists and investors flee, three men, two women and a dog are drawn together by portents that burden them with a bemusing sense of responsibility.

“Il Coccodrillo” lo chiamano i giornali: perché, come il coccodrillo quando divora i propri figli, piange. E come il coccodrillo è una perfetta macchina di morte: si apposta, osserva, aspetta. E colpisce. Tre giovani, di età e provenienza sociale diverse, vengono trovati morti in tre differenti quartieri, freddati dal colpo di un’unica pistola. L’ispettore Giuseppe Lojacono è l’unico che non si ferma alle apparenze, e riuscirà a trovare il collegamento, apparentemente inesistente, tra i delitti.
