Story
Per il giorno del suo cinquantesimo compleanno, Guido ha deciso di regalarsi un weekend da solo tra le montagne, un'occasione preziosa per meditare su mezzo secolo di vita vissuta. È il solstizio d'estate del 2020 e lui si perde, in piena notte, tra i boschi delle Dolomiti, a quasi duemila metri di altitudine, con lo smartphone che non ha campo, ma lo zaino carico di parole e ricordi. Il freddo, la paura, i pensieri, la stellata mozzafiato che lo porterà all'alba del giorno più lungo dell'anno gli offriranno numerosi spunti per raccontare incontri meravigliosi e diversità che ci rendono unici.

Story
Eine Geschichte über Freundschaft, Zusammenhalt und das gute Gefühl, anderen zu helfen - voller Herzenswärme und Humor. Ein marodes Kinderheim steht am existentiellen Abgrund. Es bleiben sechs Monate Zeit für die Renovierung, doch statt des nötigen Kleingelds gibt es nur Schwierigkeiten. Die Hoffnung auf Rettung lastet auf Schultern, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten: einem wohnungslosen Handwerker mit Feder im Haar, einem Ritter aus dem Seniorenheim, einer Prinzessin in Designerjeans und einem Straßenkind mit grünen Haaren und frecher Klappe.

Story
"Notes for soloists" er en flersproget digtsamling, der arbejder med sproget som materiale. Den viser, hvordan små variationer på lyd-, ord- og sætningsniveau kan skabe store og afgørende forskydninger i betydning - fra det nonsensagtigt spøjse og sjove til det smukke og katastrofale. Med enkle greb peger digtene med skepsis på den magt, der ligger i sprogets evne til at strukturere vores verden.

Story
Erik Satie, ein Pionier von scheinbar beziehungslosen Harmonien und surrealer Sprach- und Musikexperimente, hinterließ ein erstaunliches Gesamtwerk, darunter auch etliche kurze Prosatexte. Auf Hunderten von Zettelchen notierte er kleine Geschichten, Bizarrerien und fiktive Inserate. Seine Partituren durchsetzte er mit allerlei Bemerkungen und Spielanweisungen. Er hielt Vorträge, erfand absurde Szenen und schrieb sogar ein Theaterstück. Erik Satie setzte aber vor allem mit seiner "Musique Pure" einen wichtigen Meilenstein der musikgeschichtlichen Entwicklung.

Story
Stephen Fry's breathtakingly outrageous debut novel, by turns eccentric, shocking, brilliantly comic and achingly romantic. Adrian Healey is magnificently unprepared for the long littleness of life; unprepared too for the afternoon in Salzburg when he will witness the savage murder of a Hungarian violinist; unprepared to learn about the Mendax device; unprepared for more murders and wholly unprepared for the truth.
