A work of great poetical beauty and satirical strength, and a lasting historical document of timeless value, Simplicius Simplicissimus is one of the greatest picaresque novels in the Western canon.

Zwei Musterbeispiele des romantischen Kunstmärchens, dessen Gattung durch Tiecks Blonden Eckbert gerdezu begründet wurde. "Im 'Blonden Eckbert'", schrieb A. W. Schlegel, "werden Schauer erregt, an denen keine Hässlichkeit der Erscheinungen teilhat, und die umso überraschender treffen, weil sie nicht mit großen Zurüstungen herbeigeführt werden."

Telling the tragic tale of a socially advantageous but emotionally ruinous match, this novel, translated by Hugh Rorrison with an introduction by Helen Chambers, follows the life of young Effi Briest. Married to the austere Baron von Innstetten, a civil servant twice her age, Effi feels isolated and bored. Seeking comfort, she engages in a brief affair with the married Major Crampas, a decision that later haunts her with fatal consequences. Through taut, ironic prose, the author explores a world where sexuality and the desire for enjoyment are suppressed by societal pretenses and obligations. This work is a humane, unsentimental portrait of a woman caught between her duties as a wife and mother and her own heart's instincts. Rorrison's modern translation is complemented by Chambers' introduction, which draws parallels between Effi and other literary heroines like Emma Bovary and Anna Karenina. The author, a notable German novelist and political reporter, is also known for his ironic critique of middle-class hypocrisy in another work. If you appreciate this novel, you might also enjoy Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, available in Penguin Classics. 'I have been haunted by it ... as I am by those novels that seem to do more than they say,' remarks Hermione Lee in the Sunday Times.

L'investigatore privato Lucio Silvi ha troppi problemi: pochi clienti, pochi soldi e molti debiti. Deve inoltre occuparsi dell'uccisione di un amico, apparentemente collegata ai misteriosi furti di statue e oggetti antichi che da qualche tempo agitano Roma e il mondo dell'arte. Un'indagine appassionante, ricca di colpi di scena e risvolti sentimentali, porterà i lettori a conoscere i luoghi più belli della capitale. --Quatrième de couverture.
