«Il libro che avete fra le mani è uno dei più divertenti degli ultimi cinquecentomila anni» ha scritto Terry Pratchett. È vero, tanto tempo è passato, da quando vissero Ernest, il narratore di questo libro, con la sua ingegnosa famiglia, dal padre Edward, che fu senza dubbio «il più grande uomo scimmia del Pleistocene», a quell’amabile reazionario di zio Vania, che tornava sempre a vivere sugli alberi, a quel viaggiatore incallito dello zio Ian, per non parlare delle ragazze. Un curioso gruppetto, che si trovò, sotto la guida del grande Edward, nella delicata situazione di chi dà all’evoluzione una spinta che non si riequilibrerà mai: la spinta da cui siamo nati tutti noi. Ragionando con impeccabile acume scientifico, nonché un delizioso humour freddo, Edward e i suoi scoprirono «alcune delle cose più potenti e spaventose su cui la razza umana abbia mai messo le mani: il fuoco, la lancia, il matrimonio e così via», sempre sulla base di una elementare esigenza: quella di «cucinare senza essere cucinati e mangiare senza essere mangiati». E naturalmente non mancarono le dispute e i crucci, perché ogni volta si poteva discutere se quelle nuove invenzioni erano davvero buone o cattive, se non rischiavano di sfuggire al controllo e soprattutto se non andavano un po’ troppo contro la natura. Mah... Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1960, e poi ripreso più volte sotto vari titoli, questo libro si è fatto strada silenziosamente fra i classici della fantascienza a ritroso. Ma in realtà è un libro inclassificabile: una riflessione romanzesca, acutissima e leggera, su tutta la storia dell’umanità, contrassegnata in ogni dettaglio da quella limpidezza e da quell’ironia che appartengono alla migliore tradizione letteraria e scientifica inglese.

Vincenzo Malinconico is a wildly unsuccessful lawyer who spends most of his time at the office trying to look busy. His wife has left him. His teenage children worry him to death. And he suffers from a chronic inability to control his sentence structure. When he is asked to fill in as the public defender for alleged Mafioso Mimmo lo Burzone, Malinconico seizes the opportunity to turn his life around. Without dwelling too long on what it might mean to be employed by the mob, he rushes to re-learn the Italian criminal code, all the while attempting to resist any further advances from his employers. Malinconico's life becomes a comical battle to finish what he has started without falling further into the clutches of the mafia. I Hadn't Understood is one of the subtlest and most cunning accounts of the mafia's influence on everyday life in recent decades. And it is certainly the most entertaining. Written with a neurotic's love of detail and wry humor, I Hadn't Understood is an engaging story of family, fatherhood, and the perils of navigating the Italian legal system.

‘Often, at the hour of day when the savannah grass is streaked with silver, and pale gold rims the silhouettes of the hills, I drive with my dogs up to the Mukutan, to watch the sun setting behind the lake, and the evening shadows settle over the valleys and plains of the Laikipia plateau.’ Kuki Gallmann’s haunting memoir of bringing up a family in Kenya in the 1970s first with her husband Paulo, and then alone, is part elegaic celebration, part tragedy, and part love letter to the magical spirit of Africa.

David Grossman's Someone to Run With tells the story of a lost dog, and the discovery of first love on the streets of Jerusalem, portrayed here with a gritty realism that is as fresh as it is compelling. When awkward and painfully shy sixteen-year-old Assaf is asked to find the owner of a stray yellow lab, he begins a quest that will bring him into contact with street kids and criminals, and a talented young singer, Tamar, engaged on her own mission: to rescue a teenage drug addict. A runaway bestseller in Israel, in the words of the Christian Science Monitor: "It's time for Americans to fall in love with (Grossman's) Someone to Run With."

In The Sundial Shirley Jackson, author of We Have Always Lived in the Castle, blends family politics and apocalyptic terror to create a disturbing world of sinister relations and the macabre. 'An amazing writer' Neil Gaiman Mrs Halloran has inherited the great Halloran house on the death of her son, much to the disgust of her daughter-in-law, the delight of her wicked granddaughter and the confusion of the rest of the household. But when the original owner - long dead - arrives to announce the world is ending and only the house and its occupants will be saved, they find themselves in a nightmare of strange marble statues, mysterious house guests and the beautiful, unsettling Halloran sundial which seems to be at the centre of it all. Shirley Jackson's chilling tales have the power to unsettle and terrify unlike any other. She was born in California in 1916. When her short story The Lottery was first published in The New Yorker in 1948, readers were so horrified they sent her hate mail; it has since become one of the greatest American stories of all time. Her first novel, The Road Through the Wall, was published in the same year and was followed by five more: Hangsaman, The Bird's Nest, The Sundial, The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, widely seen as her masterpiece. Shirley Jackson died in her sleep at the age of 48. 'The world of Shirley Jackson is eerie and unforgettable ... It is a place where things are not what they seem; even on a morning that is sunny and clear there is always the threat of darkness looming, of things taking a turn for the worse' A. M. Homes 'Shirley Jackson is unparalleled as a leader in the field of beautifully written, quiet, cumulative shudders' Dorothy Parker 'Shirley Jackson's stories are among the most terrifying ever written' Donna Tartt
