Book Description
Un’afosa sera d’estate: un’esplosione sconvolge Asti. L’incendio conseguente distrugge la APES azienda specializzata nello stoccaggio di rifiuti; nella tragedia perdono la vita due dipendenti. Contemporaneamente in un incidente avvenuto poco distante dal luogo del disastro,muore un motociclista mentre l’autista di un SUV finisce in coma. Entrambe le vittime si scoprono essere titolari della stessa azienda distrutta dall’incendio. La medesima sera, l’investigatore privato Giorgio Martinengo prende servizio come soccorritore della Croce Rossa e il suo migliore amico, il chimico Paolo Marchese, membro dell’ARPA Piemonte, deve intervenire per monitorare il potenziale pericolo d’inquinamento ambientale derivato dall’incendio,perché la funerea e irreale colonna di fumo nero come la pece che ascende al cielo della piccola città piemontese non sembra solo carta che brucia. Inizia così una lunga notte insonne, durante la quale Giorgio Martinengo si ritroverà a ricomporre un mosaico di fatti e persone in una sarabanda di morte che coinvolgerà i personaggi più inaspettati. Un vortice di faccendieri, corrotti ed ecomafie nel quale Martinengo, vittima di una insopprimibile brama di sapere, sarà coinvolto nonostante il suo inedito ruolo.

Obsolete Objects in the Literary Imagination
Author: Francesco Orlando
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300138210
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 520
Book Description
Translated here into English for the first time is a monumental work of literary history and criticism comparable in scope and achievement to Eric Auerbach’s Mimesis. Italian critic Francesco Orlando explores Western literature’s obsession with outmoded and nonfunctional objects (ruins, obsolete machinery, broken things, trash, etc.). Combining the insights of psychoanalysis and literary-political history, Orlando traces this obsession to a turning point in history, at the end of eighteenth-century industrialization, when the functional becomes the dominant value of Western culture. Roaming through every genre and much of the history of Western literature, the author identifies distinct categories into which obsolete images can be classified and provides myriad examples. The function of literature, he concludes, is to remind us of what we have lost and what we are losing as we rush toward the future.

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES In their most daring misadventure, the Baudelaire orphans are adopted by very, very rich people, whose penthouse apartment is located mysteriously close to the place where all their misfortune began. Even though their new home in the city is fancy, and the children are clever and charming, I'm sorry to say that still, the unlucky orphans will encounter more disaster and woe. In fact, in this sixth book in A Series of Unfortunate Events, the children will experience a darkened staircase, a red herring, an auction, parsley soda, some friends in a dire situation, a secret passageway, and pinstripe suits. Both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted, A Series of Unfortunate Events offers an exquisitely dark comedy in the tradition of Edward Gorey and Roald Dahl. Lemon Snicket's uproariously unhappy books continue to win readers, despite all his warnings.
