The beautiful and damned / F. Scott Fitzgerald

London : Harper, 2013

Abstract: From the author of The Great Gatsby, a tale of marriage and disappointment in the Roaring Twenties. Fitzgerald's rich and detailed novel of the decadent Jazz Era follows the beautiful and vibrant Anthony Patch and his wife Gloria as they navigate the heady lifestyle of the young and wealthy in 1920s New York. Patch is the presumptive heir to his grandfather's fortune, and keeps his equally spoiled wife in comfort while biding time until his grandfather's death. Patch is unable to hold down any kind of job and spends his days in luxury, indulging in whatever pleasures are available. But as the money begins to fail, so does their marriage. Patch's gradual descent into alcoholism, depression and alienation from his marriage ultimately lead to his ruin. Fitzgerald's novel is a remorseless exploration of the horrors of an age of excess and lost innocence

L'assassino americano : romanzo / Vince Flynn ; traduzione dall'inglese di Elena De Giorgi

Roma : Timecrime, 2013

Abstract: Dopo decenni di spietata Guerra fredda, gli Stati Uniti si trovano in una posizione sempre più vulnerabile. Thomas Stansfield, veterano e capo della CIA, sa che l'identità del prossimo nemico è più sfuggente che mai. Per combatterlo con le sue stesse armi chiama la sua protetta, Irene Kennedy, e il suo vecchio collega, Stan Hurley, per formare un nuovo gruppo di agenti sotto copertura. Ma quale uomo è disposto a uccidere per il proprio Paese senza indossare una divisa? Irene lo troverà dopo l'attacco terroristico di Lockerbie: 270 vittime in una fredda notte di dicembre e tutti i loro familiari colpiti da una tragedia per cui non sembra esserci conforto. Uno di loro è Mitch Rapp, che ha perso la donna che amava. Ma non cerca conforto. Vuole i colpevoli. Sei mesi di intenso addestramento e Rapp è pronto: dietro lo sguardo d'acciaio dell'ultimo eroe della nazione si nasconde un giovane uomo pronto a diventare un assassino americano.

Abstract: "What are you thinking, Amy?' The question I've asked most often during our marriage, if not out loud, if not to the person who could answer. I suppose these questions storm cloud over every marriage: 'What are you thinking? How are you feeling? Who are you? What have we done to each other? What will we do?"

Clarissa Dalloway, the wife of a Conservative member of parliament, is preparing to give an evening party, while the shell-shocked Septimus Warren Smith hears the birds in Regent's Park chattering in Greek. There seems to be nothing, except perhaps London, to link Clarissa and Septimus. She is middle-aged and prosperous, with a sheltered happy life behind her; Smith isyoung, poor, and driven to hatred of himself and the whole human race. Yet bo.

When in Rome / Nicky Pellegrino

London : Orion, 2013

Abstract: Rome in the 1950s, there's nowhere quite like it. The narrow stone streets, the fountains and piazzas full of life in the heat of the day, the cafes and bars full of music and desire by night...This is where Serafina calls home. Having grown-up with her sisters in a tiny apartment tucked in the top of a tumbledown building, she has watched her mother get by on next to nothing, and turn herself beautiful with a sweep of eyeliner and a hand-sewn dress. When her mother goes out, Serafina and her sisters go singing in the nearest piazza, busking for spare change and cinema tickets. The girls long to meet their matinee idols and Serafina daydreams of Mario Lanza and his spellbinding voice. But the sisters will grow up quickly and for Serafina, a choice opens between the world she knows and the life she dreams of...
