Story
Sevastopol Sketches (Russian: Севастопольские рассказы, Sevastopolskiye rasskazy) are three short stories written by Leo Tolstoy and published in 1855 to record his experiences during the Siege of Sevastopol (1854–1855) in the Crimean War (1853-1856). The name originates from Sevastopol, a city in Crimea. The book has also been released under the anglicized title The Sebastopol Sketches and is sometimes titled Sevastopol Stories.

Story
In un teatro, in cui si sta provando una rappresentazione, irrompono sei "personaggi" che dotati di vita reale cercano un autore che gli permetta di realizzare e rappresentare il loro dramma. Quest'opera teatrale fu rappresentata per la prima volta il 9 maggio 1921 al teatro Valle di Roma (dunque nel 2021 ricorre il centesimo anniversario), ma in quell'occasione ebbe un esito tempestoso, perché molti spettatori contestarono la rappresentazione, sorpresi dalla novità della stessa che rappresenta il teatro nel teatro e uno dei primi esempi di teatro dell’assurdo. Successivamente l’opera ...

Story
Il Principe (titolo originale in lingua latina: De Principatibus, "Riguardo i Principati") è un trattato di dottrina politica scritto da Niccolò Machiavelli nel 1513, nel quale espone le caratteristiche dei principati e dei metodi per mantenerli e conquistarli. Si tratta senza dubbio della sua opera più nota e celebrata, quella dalle cui massime (spesso superficialmente interpretate) sono nati il sostantivo "machiavellismo" e l'aggettivo "machiavellico". - Summary from http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Il_PrincipeProof-listeners: mrnmrz72 and Sonia

The Castle stood above the quiet little town for as long as folks remembered: barren, deserted, lonely and frightening to the townsfolk. Until one day, smoke began to ascend from the dunjon. They were warned not to go near, and when intrepid souls dared to venture to uncover the mystery of the ruined castle, they learned firsthand what supernatural terrors await inside The Castle of the Carpathians.

Story
Wilde’s meditation on capital punishment, the Ballad of Reading Gaol comes after he was convicted and imprisoned under charges of gross indecency. The charges stemmed from his affair with Lord Alfred Douglas, the son of the Marquis of Queensberry. It relates the story of an execution of a man who murdered his wife which Wilde witnessed during his internment. Published in 1898, it was Wilde’s last published poem as he would die in 1900 from cerebral meningitis, caused by syphilis.(Summary by John Gonzalez)

Story
The De Monarchia is one of the main works by Dante Alighieri. It is a treatise on secular and religious power, and more specifically on the relationship between secular authority (represented by the Holy Roman Emperor) and religious authority (represented by the Pope). The work is composed of three books, in which Dante condemns the theocratic conception of the power elaborated by the Roman Church and defends that both the Pope and the Emperor derive their power from God, and, that being so, God gave to each power in one certain area of life, which means they should not interfere with each ...

Sì, si dice "supercàzzora" e non "supercàzzola". Rigorosamente con la R e non con la L. Questo è assodato, dimostrato, dimostrabile, granitico, inamovibile e definitivo e costituisce una delle poche, pochissime certezze della vita. Tutto il resto è pura illusione.

L'umorismo, che in "Debito formativo" era puramente ludico e finalizzato alla narrazione, non poteva che trovare una connotazione amara e desolante, anche se il lettore non faticherà a trarre, anche da qui, un qualche motivo di isolata ilarità.

Story
Il romanzo picaresco spagnolo ha contrassegnato una delle fasi più originali e feconde della narrativa di tutti i tempi. Valerio Di Stefano, scrittore, ispanista, filologo e linguista ripropone, attraverso questo breve romanzo, stilemi e artifici letterari in chiave tremendista, con lo sfondo della città che ha sempre amato, Livorno. Attraverso la vicenda umana di Armando Verticelli, detenuto per crimini efferati nel carcere labronico, l'Autore rivolge uno sguardo compassionevole ma disincantato alla pietà degli ultimi, senza perdere tenerezza e rigore narratologico.

Story
Qualcuno mi chiede ancora de "La pioggia di Roseto". Fu un componimentino di nessuna pretesa, parodia della fin troppo osannata "La pioggia nel pineto" di D'Annunzio, che scrissi nel 2011 e che inclusi in un volumetto dal titolo "Duepuntozero", ormai pressoché introvabile, e che oggi comprerebbe solo qualche imbecille o qualche elettore della sedicente opposizione. A volte coincidono. Ho deciso di ricavarne un audiolibro e un podcast per ringraziare quanti mi onorano del proprio affetto e riservano alle mie nullaggini il loro ricordo.

I libri, nella loro storia, che poi è la stessa della letteratura, hanno vissuto e continuano a vivere vicende al limite del paradosso. Censure, tagli, rimaneggiamenti come se piovessero, messe all'indice, plagi, imitazioni, parodie, seguiti, rifacimenti. Pare sia la stessa sorte destinata a Vannacci e questo, al di là delle valutazioni sui contenuti, indubbiamente dispiace
