Extrait : Et il avait fallu mentir honteusement, odieusement, partir pour la Suisse, accoucher mystérieusement... et, une nuit, une porte s’était entrouverte et un enfant avait été déposé entre les bras de Raoul... car les choses se passent dans la vie, hélas ! comme dans les romans... ce sont les mêmes gestes qui paraissent préparés, ? convenus ?, et qui ne sont que fatals, des rencontres d’événements jugés exceptionnels et qui ne cessent cependant de se répéter suivant une logique implacable qui réunit dans un même lieu, à une heure utile, des gens qui ont toutes les raisons possibles pour ne pas se rencontrer...

At the age of six Randall Byrne could name and bound every state in the Union and give the date of its admission; at nine he was conversant with Homeric Greek and Caesar; at twelve he read Aristophanes with perfect understanding of the allusions of the day and divided his leisure between Ovid and Horace; at fifteen, wearied by the simplicity of Old English and Thirteenth Century Italian, he dipped into the history of Philosophy and passed from that, naturally, into calculus and the higher mathematics; at eighteen he took an A. B. from Harvard and while idling away a pleasant summer with Hebrew and Sanscrit he delved lightly into biology and its kindred sciences, having reached the conclusion that Truth is greater than Goodness or Beauty, because it comprises both, and the whole is greater than any of its parts; at twenty-one he pocketed his Ph. D. and was touched with the fever of his first practical enthusiasm - surgery.
La giara
La giara
Luigi Pirandello

Vengono qui presentate alcune novelle estratte dalla raccolta "Novelle per un anno". I paesaggi delle novelle sono vari; per quelle dette siciliane si ha spesso il tipico paesaggio rurale, anche se in alcune troviamo il tema sociale del contrasto tra le generazioni dovuto all'unità d'Italia. Altro ambiente delle novelle pirandelliane è la Roma umbertina o giolittiana. I protagonisti sono sempre alla presa con il male di vivere, con il caso e con la morte e potrebbero essere i vicini della porta accanto: sarte, balie, professori, piccoli proprietari di negozi che hanno una vita sconvolta dalla sorte e da drammi familiari. I personaggi ci vengono presentati così come appaiono, è difficile trovare un'approfondita analisi psicologica. Le fisionomie sono spesso eccentriche, per il sentimento del contrario, hanno un carattere opposto a come si presentano, parlano e ragionano nel presentarsi per come essi sentono di essere, ma alla fine saranno sempre preda del caso, che li farà apparire diversi e cambiati.

"L'emplacement était superbe pour b?tir une ville. Il n'y avait qu'à déblayer les bords du fleuve, en abattant une partie de la forêt, de l'immense forêt vierge enracinée là depuis la naissance du monde. Alors abritée tout autour par des collines boisées, la ville descendrait jusqu'aux quais d'un port magnifique, établi dans l'embouchure de la Rivière-Rouge, à quatre milles seulement de la mer."

David Copperfield
Charles Dickens

David Copperfield is the novel that draws most closely from Charles Dickens's own life. Its eponymous hero, orphaned as a boy, grows up to discover love and happiness, heartbreak and sorrow amid a cast of eccentrics, innocents, and villains. Praising Dickens's power of invention, Somerset Maugham wrote: "There were never such people as the Micawbers, Peggotty and Barkis, Traddles, Betsey Trotwood and Mr. Dick, Uriah Heep and his mother. They are fantastic inventions of Dickens's exultant imagination...you can never quite forget them."

Uno, nessuno, e centomila
Uno, nessuno, e centomila
Luigi Pirandello
¥8.82
Questo romanzo, l'ultimo di Pirandello, riesce a sintetizzare il pensiero dell'autore nel modo più completo. L'autore stesso lo definisce come il romanzo "più amaro di tutti, profondamente umoristico, di scomposizione della vita". Il protagonista Vitangelo Moscarda, infatti, può essere considerato come uno dei personaggi più complessi del mondo pirandelliano, e sicuramente quello con maggior autoconsapevolezza. Dal punto di vista formale, stilistico, si può notare la forte inclinazione al monologo del soggetto, che molto spesso si rivolge al lettore ponendogli interrogativi e problemi in modo da coinvolgerlo direttamente nella vicenda, il cui significato è senza dubbio di portata universale. A dispetto della sua lunga gestazione, l'opera non è né frammentaria né disorganizzata; al contrario, può essere considerata come l'apice della carriera dell'autore e della sua tensione narrativa.
