Io sono febbraio. La storia dell'inverno che non voleva finire mai

From the visionary author of Light Boxes, a mind-bending office comedy, and a touching modern love story set against the backdrop of an ever-increasingly disorienting America. Being home all the time is depressing, so I tell my boss "I'm ready for anything" in the strongest conference call voice in the world while driving my hand into a family-sized bag of tortilla chips. Without a future, no Alice, I'm ready for an adventure. Meet Vincent. After his divorce from Alice he's lost his way, and is mindlessly working for the State, counting down the days till retirement. When his boss tells him to participate in a program that promises not only to increase productivity, but show him his "ideal life" he thinks: what's the harm? Others have seen new marked improvements in productivity and personal happiness. Willing to try anything to move away from the heartbreak of Alice, Vincent reluctantly complies. But what the program shows him, is that his ideal life is simply Alice. She's back. Is she real? A clone? A hologram? Despite the lingering questions, Vincent eases back into love and begins to live his life again with Alice, that is, until the real Alice returns. A novel about work, love, and how to live in the present moment, Vincent and Alice and Alice flings us through a shockingly funny and tender-hearted world just a few degrees different from our own, one that introduces us to a wild cast of characters, including the enigmatic CEO of PER, Dorian Blood, a mysterious under-cover cop, and the acid-tongued Elderly, a man living in his car who may be the only one who understands how to live in reality.

The Nightmare Filled You with Scary

Chris Hirte

Viele hundert Tage schon währt die kalte Herrschaft des Februars: Der Wechsel der Jahreszeiten ist außer Kraft gesetzt, finstere Priester patrouillieren, Papierdrachen dürfen nicht mehr zum Himmel aufsteigen, Kinder verschwinden im Wald. Traurigkeit legt sich über die Stadt wie der Schnee, der endlos fällt, doch die Erinnerung an warme Tage lebt weiter. Die Stadt beschließt, in den Kampf zu ziehen, den Winter zu besiegen, und Thaddeus, der Ballonfahrer, soll ihr Anführer sein. Doch dann stößt Thaddeus in einer Hütte am Waldrand auf den Februar selbst - und es ist ein Mann, der eine Geschichte schreibt: die Geschichte der Stadt.

Остаёмся зимовать

Una fábula que constata que el amor y la buena voluntad mueven montañas. Atento lector, atenta lectora: Si vivieras en un pueblo donde Febrero, temido espíritu del frío y la oscuridad, se ha instalado durante más de novecientos días, donde la tristeza es infinita y desaparecen niños, ¿hasta dónde llegarías para derrocarlo? Thaddeus, vecino del lugar, sufre la brutalidad de Febrero: su hija Bianca ha desaparecido, dejando en su cama un rastro de perfume a miel y humo. En breve, Thaddeus liderará la guerra contra Febrero, quien, junto a la muchacha que huele a miel y humo, ha cubierto el pueblo de nieve, de lamentaciones, de musgo y de capas de gris infinito. Ya se sabe que en tiempos de guerra la fortuna ayuda a los audaces, por lo que Thaddeus despliega una serie de ingeniosas tretas contra Febrero: agujeros en el cielo para recuperar el sol, cajas de luz, pértigas gigantes que empujan a las nubes, incluso finge que es verano... Arduas tareas que -si finalmente decides seguirlas- puede que te lleven para siempre de las sombras a la luz.

Las cajas de luz

In Daniel contro l’Uragano Shane Jones racconta un’affascinante storia di amore e perdita, matrimonio e amicizia, sullo sfondo della crudeltà indifferente del mondo naturale. Fin da quando era ragazzo, Daniel Suppleton ha avuto una paura mortale degli uragani. Daniel teme che si scatenino all’improvviso, riducendo la città e le persone che ama in scheletri tremanti. Per combattere i suoi demoni, sia reali che immaginari, Daniel si ritira a vivere in una capanna nei boschi. Mentre Karen, l’ex moglie di Daniel, è impegnata in una frenetica ricerca per riportarlo a casa, l’uragano tanto atteso finalmente colpisce. Daniel dovrà trovare un modo per vincere le proprie paure, salvare Karen e se stesso, e riguadagnare l’amore perduto. Splendidamente scritto, profondamente immaginato, Daniel contro l’uragano è un romanzo originale e indimenticabile, da uno dei maggiori talenti della narrativa americana.
