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.

London : Phoenix, 2013
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?"
The cuckoo's calling / Robert Galbraith
New York : Mulholland books, 2013
Abstract: When a troubled model falls to her death from a snow-covered Mayfair balcony, it is assumed that she has committed suicide. However, her brother has his doubts, and calls in private investigator Cormoran Strike to look into the case. A war veteran, wounded both physically and psychologically, Strike's life is in disarray. The case gives him a financial lifeline, but it comes at a personal cost: the more he delves into the young model's complex world, the darker things get - and the closer he gets to terrible danger ...A gripping, elegant mystery steeped in the atmosphere of London - from the hushed streets of Mayfair, to the backstreet pubs of the East End, to the bustle of Soho - The Cuckoo's Calling is a remarkable debut. Introducing Cormoran Strike, it is a classic crime novel unlike any other book you will read this year.

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.
