![]() ![]() Author: Armstrong Margaret Publisher: Edizioni Le Assassine La signorina Trumbull, una newyorkese di mezza età dai modi impeccabili e dall'eloquio facile, decide di lasciare la sua comoda dimora per andare a trovare in campagna Charlotte, una vecchia compagna di scuola, al cui invito non può più sottrarsi, anche se la giudica troppo cupa e triste per i suoi gusti. Fortunatamente la presenza di Phyllis, una giovane cugina di Charlotte, e quella di Leo, figlio di Frederick Ullathorne, noto artista del vetro, sembrano rendere piacevole il soggiorno della donna. Tuttavia la situazione precipita quando nel laboratorio dove si producono le vetrate artistiche vengono ritrovati nel forno dei resti che sembrano appartenere a un essere umano. Ben presto si arriva alla conclusione che questi siano di Frederick Ullathorne, uomo dal pessimo carattere, dispotico con i dipendenti e con il suo stesso figlio. Per questo motivo molti potrebbero essere i responsabili dell'omicidio; quando però i sospetti si addensano su Leo, la signorina Trumbull, che ha un debole per le indagini, decide di mettersi a investigare per proprio conto ed effettivamente riesce a 'vedere ciò che altri non hanno visto'. Così facendo finisce però per mettere a repentaglio anche la propria vita. € 14,00

![]() ![]() Author: Weinman Sarah (EDT), Armstrong Charlotte, Highsmith Patricia, Millar Margaret, Hitchens Dolores Publisher: Library of America The Library of America and editor Sarah Weinman redefine the classic era of American crime fiction with a landmark collection of four brilliant novels by the female pioneers of the genre, the women who paved the way for Gillian Flynn, Tana French, and Lisa Scottoline. Though women crime and suspense writers dominate today’s bestseller lists, the extraordinary work of the mid-century pioneers of the genre is largely unknown. Turning in many cases from the mean streets of the hardboiled school to explore the anxieties and terrors lurking in everyday life, these groundbreaking novelists found the roots of fear and violence in a quiet suburban neighborhood, on a college campus, or in a comfortable midtown hotel. Their work, influential in its day and still vibrant and extraordinarily riveting today, is long overdue for rediscovery. This volume, the second of a two-volume collector’s set, gathers four classic works that together reveal the vital and unacknowledged lineage to today’s leading crime writers. From the 1950s here are Charlotte Armstrong’s Mischief, the nightmarish drama of a child entrusted to a psychotic babysitter, Patricia Highsmith’sThe Blunderer, brilliantly tracking the perverse parallel lives of two men driven toward murder, Margaret Millar’sBeast in View, a relentless study in madness, and Dolores Hitchens’s Fools' Gold, a hard-edged tale of robbery and redemption. € 33,90

![]() ![]() Author: Armstrong Karen, Atwood Margaret Eleanor, Winterson Jeanette Publisher: Brilliance Audio A Short History of Myth:What are myths? How have they evolved? And why do we still so desperately need them?Heralding a major series of retellings of international myths by authors from around the world, Karen Armstrong's characteristically insightful and eloquent book serves as a brilliant and thought-provoking introduction to myth in the broadest sense - and why we dismiss it only at our peril.The Penelopiad:In a splendid contemporary twist to the ancient story of Penelope and Odysseus, Margaret Atwood has chosen to give the telling of it to Penelope and to her twelve hanged Maids, asking: "What led to the hanging of the maids, and what was Penelope really up to?" In Atwood’s dazzling, playful retelling, the story becomes as wise and compassionate as it is haunting, and as wildly entertaining as it is disturbing. Weight:In ancient Greek mythology, the victorious Olympians force Atlas, guardian of the Garden of Hesperides and its golden apples of life, to bear the weight of the earth and the heavens for eternity.With her typical wit and verve, Jeanette Winterson brings Atlas into the twenty-first century. Simultaneously, she asks her own difficult questions about the nature of choice and coercion, and how we forge our own destiny. € 18,10
