The Thurber Carnival
by James Thurber“An authentic American genius . . . Mr. Thurber belongs in the great lines of American humorists that includes Mark Twain and Ring Lardner.” —The Philadelphia InquirerJames Thurber’s unique ability to convey the vagaries of life in a funny, witty, and often satirical way earned him accolades as one of the finest humorists of the twentieth century. A bestseller upon its initial publication in 1945, The Thurber Carnival captures the depth of his talent and the breadth of his wit. The stories compiled here, almost all of which first appeared in The New Yorker, are from his uproarious and candid collection My World and Welcome to It—including the American classic “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty’—as well as from The Owl in the Attic, The Seal in the Bathroom, and Men, Women and Dogs. Thurber’s take on life, society, and human nature is timeless and will continue to delight readers even as they recognize a bit of themselves in his brilliant sketches.“One of the absolutely essential books of our time.” —Saturday Review of Literature

Ti ricordi di McKenna?
by Maria Ferrer PayerasSe mi ricordo di McKenna? Come potrei dimenticarmene! Lui è il responsabile della mia ossessione per quelli con i capelli rossi e per tutto quello che ha a che fare con la Scozia. È stato il mio primo amore quando avevo solo sedici anni, e si sa, il primo amore non si scorda mai. Voi siete riuscite a farlo? Io no. Mi ha spezzato il cuore in mille pezzettini e adesso, a una settimana dal matrimonio di una delle mie migliori amiche, vengo a sapere che non solo è invitato, ma che è anche il testimone dello sposo. Meno male che la settimana scorsa ho comprato un calendario con delle frasi per dare un po’di saggezza alla mia vita (sapete a cosa mi riferisco); spero solo che quella che mi è toccata oggi non sia vera: «Mai dire mai; la vita ha dei modi molto divertenti per dimostrarti che ti sbagli».

by Terry PratchettEl imperio más antiguo e inescrutable del Mundodisco anda algo revuelto... El imperio más antiguo e inescrutable del Mundodisco anda algo revuelto. Con educación, eso sí. Y la culpa de todo la tienen, por este orden: un panfleto revolucionario titulado Lo que hice en mis vacaciones..., el mago Rincewind y su fiel Equipaje..., una horda de bárbaros capitaneados por un viejo héroe llamado Gengis Cohen... y una mariposa muy especial. ¿Quizá por eso la peor maldición que se puede echar en el refinadísimo Imperio Ágata es «Ojalá vivas en tiempos interesantes»? Esta es la historia de una revolución largamente esperada y con giros insospechados. Al fin y al cabo transcurre en el Mundodisco del genial Terry Pratchett. Reseña:«Más que un autor, Terry Pratchett es un fenómeno imparable... Sus novelas son como una droga, y es un placer engancharse a su mezcla única de juegos de palabras, lógica surrealista y finas dotes de observación.»The Journal
