Story3
Personaggio buffo e melanconico, Marcovaldo è il protagonista d'una serie di favole moderne, dove Italo Calvino va segnando avvenimenti impercettibili nella vita di una grande città industriale. Partite come divagazioni comico-poetiche sul tema della più elementare lotta per la vita, le venti favole di Marcovaldo arrivano alla rappresentazione della più complicata realtà d’oggi, alla satira del "miracolo economico" e della "civiltà del consumo"; ma sempre restano fedeli a una classica struttura narrativa: quella delle storielle a vignette dei giornalini per l'infanzia.

J. B. Priestley (1894-1984) was a versatile and prolific novelist and playwright, but in The Other Place (1953), he shows an unexpected talent, proving himself a master of the weird tale. In "The Grey Ones", Mr. Patson visits a psychiatrist after he becomes convinced that a race of demons masquerading as men are plotting the overthrow of the human race...but what if he's not insane? In "Guest of Honour", a banquet speech becomes a horrifying affair when the keynote speaker realizes his audience is made up of monstrous and menacing creatures.

In ten dazzling stories, Saba Sams dives into the world of girlhood and immerses us in its contradictions and complexities: growing up too quickly, yet not quickly enough; taking possession of what one can, while being taken possession of; succumbing to societal pressure but also orchestrating that pressure. These young women are feral yet attentive, fierce yet vulnerable, exploited yet exploitative.
