Innamorarsi di Ana
by Alejandro CernudaIl libro parla della storia di uno stranierio che arriva a Ciego Montero con la doppia intenzione di terminare di scrivere un libro e investigare sulla vita di suo padre, che secondo le sue poche conoscenze è cubano. Lo straniero Elliot Kleinn conosce Ana, una ragazza semplice che vive con il marito nella casa dove ha trovato alloggio, e s'innamora di lei. Ana sogna Parigi e Kleinn la sorprende con i suoi racconti. La ragazza, annoiata e stanca del maschilismo del marito, non tarderà molto a concedersi allo straniero. Il marito di Ana, geloso e sospettoso, li sorprende nel bel mezzo del tradimento, o come direbbe Shakespeare, facendo la bestia a due groppe. Fine del racconto. Visto così, l'argomento sembrerebbe rassomigliarsi a tanti altri melodrammi con una fine tragica e prevedibile. Solo che è in questo dove si può trovare la prima differenza, qua niente sembra essere quello che è.

The Inner Wheel
by Keith RobertsEven though the New Wave has lots of Americans who were accepted as devotees, it was really an English thing. Michael Moorcock led a movement that allowed a much freer approach to writing and content and put emphasis on style as much as substance. Keith Roberts was among the most successful of these New Wave British SF riters. In this early work, something is clogging up the machinery of war. What could it be?

Innocence
by Dean KoontzHe lives in solitude beneath the city, an exile from society, which will destroy him if he is ever seen. She dwells in seclusion, a fugitive from enemies who will do her harm if she is ever found. But the bond between them runs deeper than the tragedies that have scarred their lives. Something more than chance--and nothing less than destiny--has brought them together in a world whose hour of reckoning is fast approaching. In Innocence, #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz blends mystery, suspense, and acute insight into the human soul in a masterfully told tale that will resonate with readers forever.Advance praise for Innocence "Laced with fantastical mysticism, it's an allegory of nonviolence, acceptance and love in the face of adversity. . . . The narrative is intense, with an old-fashioned ominousness and artistically crafted. . . . Something different this way comes from Mr. Koontz's imagination."--Kirkus Reviews "Imaginative, mystical thriller . . . the most satisfying Koontz standalone in a while."--Publishers Weekly "As speedy a chase-thriller as any Koontz, a past master of the form, has ever constructed . . . The clamor for a new Koontz will be heard . . . especially when his fans hear how good this one is."--Booklist (starred review) Acclaim for Dean Koontz "A rarity among bestselling writers, Koontz continues to pursue new ways of telling stories, never content with repeating himself."--Chicago Sun-Times "Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose. 'Serious' writers . . . might do well to examine his technique."--The New York Times Book Review "[Koontz] has always had near-Dickensian powers of description, and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match."--Los Angeles Times "Koontz is a superb plotter and wordsmith. He chronicles the hopes and fears of our time in broad strokes and fine detail, using popular fiction to explore the human condition."--USA Today "Characters and the search for meaning, exquisitely crafted, are the soul of [Koontz's] work. . . . One of the master storytellers of this or any age."--The Tampa Tribune "A literary juggler."--The Times (London)From the Hardcover edition.
Innocence and Carnality
by J. Alan VeerkampInnocence is his only currency. The gilded cage of propriety where Nathan grew up as a member of the Deilian aristocracy became a true prison when, at fifteen, his homosexuality came to light and created a terrible scandal. His parents see only one way to preserve their reputation amongst the other noble families: fit Nathan with a chastity belt to increase his value to a potential partner and marry him off as soon as possible. The recipient of that prize is Lord Rother Marsh Delaga III. After a hasty wedding, Rother whisks Nathan away to the strange and seductive land of Marisol, where Nathan will begin a new life, free to explore the pleasures of the marriage bed, though his life is still not his own. But Rother’s Delaga House is a place of secrets, dangers, and depravity Nathan can scarcely comprehend. Where friends are few and peril waits around every corner, Nathan must employ all the manipulation he learned from high society, along with his talent for clockwork. Most of all, Nathan must adapt, compromise to survive, and cast off the preconceptions of his homeland. Because only he can orchestrate his freedom, and it’ll come at a cost.
