Quan la Inés Macpherson em va proposar publicar aquest recull en homenatge al centenari del naixement de Ray Bradbury, vivíem en un món. Quan la versió digital vegi la llum, serem al bell mig dun gran canvi. Quan arribi a les llibreries encarnat en paper, el mon haura canviat per sempre. Sembla un relat de Ray Bradbury. No ho es. Matreveixo a dir, sense massa por a equivocar-me, que la realitat ha estat a laltura del gran escriptor nord-america.Enguany fa cent anys del seu naixement i sembla que la realitat shagi engrescat a oferir-nos una distopia curulla de trames, subtrames, girs inesperats, drames grotescos, tragicomedies. Desenes de milers de morts; palaus de gel convertits en tanatoris; poliesportius, vaixells i trens convertits en hospitals; llars davis convertides en vaixells de la mort; fosses comunes a Brooklyn; militars condecorats a les rodes de premsa; paisos sencers tancats a casa; fronteres tancades; creuers en quarantena plens de malalts; una vida a Internet. Hi ha coses que no podem incloure en aquesta llista perque ara mateix no ens les podem imaginar i quan tanquem aquesta edicio encara no hauran passat.Poc abans denllestir aquest llibre he llegit un titular que deia que els Mossos dEsquadra han irromput en una esglesia de Sant Cugat del Valles on sestava celebrant una missa. Quan es va anunciar el pacte entre el PSOE i Podemos que va fer possible lactual govern de lEstat hi va haver qui, amb mes humor que conviccio, va dir que amb ells no hi hauria Setmana Santa.No nhi ha hagut i les misses estan prohibides durant els dies en els quals el confinament es mes estricte. Les llibreries estan tancades, ningu crema llibres si mes no, de moment pero quan puguin tornar a obrir potser hem de lamentar massa persianes abaixades per sempre. Les grans empreses dInternet aprofiten per guanyar encara mes avantatge i mes dun govern vol accedir a les dades de geolocalitzacio dels nostres mobils per assegurar-se que som on hem de ser.Aquests dies sempre som al llindar duna nova i petita distopia, dun nou fet que trastoca lleument allo que abans anomenavem normalitat. Tornarem a sortir al carrer com feiem abans pero el mon dabans no tornara. El proper Stefan Zweig que escrigui El mon dahir escriura una obra molt estranya.Els relats que llegireu en aquest recull us acompanyaran en les emocions i reflexions quan tot aixo passi, perque hi estan estretament connectades duna manera que costa imaginar. Hi trobareu angoixa, desconcert, por, terror, esgarrifança, tristesa, resignacio i tambe una bona dosi desperança i confiança en el futur. Aquests contes, com el mateix Ray Bradbury, ens presenten mons possibles que semblen impossibles i ens confronten amb nosaltres mateixos.

Written in his distinctively dazzling manner, Oscar Wildes story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is the authors most popular work. The tale of Dorian Grays moral disintegration caused a scandal when it first appeared in 1890, but though Wilde was attacked for the novels corrupting influence, he responded that there is, in fact, "a terrible moral in Dorian Gray." Just a few years later, the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wildes homosexual liaisons, which resulted in his imprisonment. Of Dorian Grays relationship to autobiography, Wilde noted in a letter, "Basil Hallward is what I think I am: Lord Henry what the world thinks me: Dorian what I would like to be - in other ages, perhaps."

Freckles & A Girl of the Limberlost are set in the Limberlost Swamp area of Indiana and describe this impressive wetland region, greatly reduced by heavy logging, natural oil extraction and drainage for agriculture."Freckles" is an adult orphan, with bright red hair and a freckled complexion. His right hand is missing at the wrist, and has been since before he can remember. Exhausted after days of walking and looking like a hobo, he applies for a job with a lumber company in the Limberlost Swamp. Freckles gets hired by owner McLean to be on the watch for those who steal the timber. McLeans chief worry is Black Jack Carter, who has sworn to smuggle several priceless trees out of the swamp. When a recently fired lumberman named Wessner tries to bribe Freckles so the Black Jacks gang of thieves steal a prime tree next to the trail, Freckles gets into a fist fight with him and, although severely pummeled, chases him off. The next afternoon, while Freckles is recovering from beating, a lovely girl appears looking for him. Freckles falls in love with her while she helps him recover. She becomes his guardian angel as the Black Jacks gang seeks revenge."A Girl of the Limberlost" Elnora Comstock, is an impoverished young woman who lives with her widowed mother, Katharine, on the edge of the Limberlost. Elnora faces cold neglect by her mother, a woman who feels ruined by the death of her husband, Robert Comstock, who drowned in quicksand in the swamp. The Comstocks make money by selling eggs and other farm products, but Mrs. Comstock refuses to cut down a single tree in the forest, or to delve for oil. Elnora is beginning high school and she is determined to earn an education. She has a valuable specimens box which her friend Freckles left for her, and a desire to succeed in her enterprising scheme to gather and sell artifacts and moths from the Limberlost. Elnora is smart and witty; her heart aches for returned love and for support of her disapproving mother.

WINNER of the James Tait Black Prize 2021 and The Republic of Consciousness Prize 2021.As seen in Document Journal,Guardian and The White ReviewLush and frothy, incisive and witty, Shola von Reinholds decadent queer literary debut immerses readers in the pursuit of aesthetics and beauty, while interrogating the removal and obscurement of Black figures from history. Solitary Mathilda has long been enamored with the Bright Young Things of the 20s, and throughout her life, her attempts at reinvention have mirrored their extravagance and artfulness. After discovering a photograph of the forgotten Black modernist poet Hermia Druitt, who ran in the same circles as the Bright Young Things that she adores, Mathilda becomes transfixed and resolves to learn as much as she can about the mysterious figure. Her search brings her to a peculiar artists residency in Dun, a small European town Hermia was known to have lived in during the 30s. The artists residency throws her deeper into a lattice of secrets and secret societies that takes hold of her aesthetic imagination, but will she be able to break the thrall of her Transfixions? From champagne theft and Black Modernisms, to art sabotage, alchemy and lotus-eating proto-luxury communist cults, Mathildas journey through modes of aesthetic expression guides her to truth and the convoluted ways it is made and obscured.

O escritor norte-americano Nathaniel Hawthorne é considerado o primeiro grande escritor dos Estados Unidos e um de seus maiores contistas. Entre suas obras destacam-se clássicos como: A Letra Escarlate, A Casa das Sete Torres, O Fauno de Marmore, Os Melhores Contos de Nathaniel Hawthorne, entre outros. A obra A Casa das Sete Torres foi inspirada na propria familia do autor, que vivenciou varios eventos relacionados a caça as bruxas ocorridas em Salem. Pode-se pensar que o livro e quase uma carta onde ele assume a culpa por tudo que sua familia fez no passado. "A transgresso de uma geraço vive nas sucessivas e torna-se um prejuizo puro e incontrolavel" e um exemplo do que o autor pensa sobre isso. Em A Casa das Sete Torres, elementos como a magia, bruxaria e assassinatos se entrelaçam e so brilhantemente narrados por Hawthorne, o que tornou a obra um classico do genero. A Casa das Sete Torres, no entanto, no respira apenas o ambiente sobrenatural pois como contraponto ao ambiente sobrio, surge na narrativa um romance que levara ao desfecho da rivalidade secular das duas familias envolvidas. A obra ganhou diversas adaptaçes para o cinema e TV ao longo dos anos e, embora no Brasil tenha passado relativamente despercebida do grande publico leitor, e um classico que, sem duvida, merece ser lido.

In the provocative and satirical work, "The Devil and Parson Church; or, Birds of a Feather," the anonymous author explores the complexities of morality and hypocrisy within the framework of 19th-century societal norms. Through a compelling narrative interwoven with dark humor and vivid imagery, the text critiques the moral failing of its characters, particularly focusing on the titular Parson Church. The juxtaposition of pious rhetoric and clandestine vice reveals much about the entrenched social mores of the time, echoing the works of contemporaries like Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe, while simultaneously delving into the dualities of human nature, sin, and redemption. The anonymity of the author invites speculation regarding their identity and motivations, often believed to stem from a desire to critique religious and social hypocrisies without personal repercussion. This narrative technique enhances the books exploration of broader themes relevant to the period, reflecting a tumultuous era grappling with rapid changes in morality and accountability. The choice to remain anonymous could also be understood as a form of self-critique, implying that the moral quandaries discussed are universal and not confined to individual failings. Readers captivated by sharp wit and intellectual depth will find "The Devil and Parson Church" a compelling examination of the human condition, offering not just entertainment, but profound insights into societal contradictions. It challenges readers to scrutinize their own moral compasses while engaging with a rich tapestry of character and theme, making it a noteworthy addition to the canon of American literature.
