Ginger Man è la storia di un mostro senza tempo, un diavolo in carne e ossa, un angelo perfido e carismatico. Sebastian Dangerfield è un bel giovanotto e un insaziabile disgraziato, il maschio che ogni donna non può che odiare, con ogni vizio e pochissime virtú: seduttore, erotomane, ladro, imbroglione, violento, bevitore, ingordo – il tipo che abbandona la moglie con la bambina, ruba i soldi dalla borsetta e va a farsi il giro dei pub, invidiato da qualunque altro uomo perché riesce a farla franca, e a salvare la faccia. Sebastian è americano, ha ventisette anni, è andato a vivere a Dublino al termine della guerra e studia giuri-sprudenza al Trinity College; è padre e marito, adora blaterare di decoro e di successo, di famiglia e buone maniere, ma passa il tempo a sognare i soldi facili, a inseguire belle gambe e gonnelle da perlustrare, tra be-vute, battute, accessi di rabbia, truffe e sconcezze. È un eroe comico e maledetto al tempo stesso, invaso dal-lo spirito irrefrenabile di una libertà dissennata, maligna, tragica. Ed è un anti-eroe di quel mondo che si an-dava formando dopo il conflitto, smanioso di dimenticare gli orrori, la fatica, il grande rumore della catastro-fe, e insieme un simbolo dei nostri tempi, in fuga costante dalla realtà e dalla responsabilità, eterno egoista, eterno bambino, sperduto e sgomento di fronte al peso e al dolore insopportabile di una vita normale. Pubblicato a Parigi nel 1955 da Olympia Press, bandito negli Stati Uniti e in Irlanda, uscito in Italia nel 1959 in una versione incompleta, Ginger Man è considerato oggi un capolavoro e un classico, un continuatore dell’esempio magistrale di Henry Miller e James Joyce, tradotto in decine di lingue e ristampato in centinaia di edizioni, con 45 milioni di copie vendute. Comico, delizioso e indecente, uno di quei libri che rivelano le proprie qualità già dalla prima riga... Ginger Man ha dimostrato di saper durare nel tempo, e la sua fama è ancora in crescita». V.S. Naipaul «Ginger Man è il romanzo picaresco definitivo: vigoroso, violento, incredibilmente divertente». Dorothy Parker «Un romanzo che ha lasciato il segno su una intera generazione». The New York Times «Ci sono pochi romanzieri che scrivono a partire da un vero sentimento del mondo contemporaneo, e il migliore è J.P. Donleavy». The New York Times Book Review «Sebastian Dangerfield, l’eroe di Ginger Man, è il furfante piú oltraggioso della narrativa contemporanea, un giovane fannullone alcolizzato e puttaniere». Tim

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE ADVERSARY One morning, a man shaves off his long-worn moustache, hoping to amuse his wife and friends. But when nobody notices, or pretends not to have noticed, what started out as a simple trick turns to terror. As doubt and denial bristle, and every aspect of his life threatens to topple into madness – a disturbing solution comes into view, taking us on a dramatic flight across the world. Translated by Lanie Goodman Elegant, pocket-sized paperbacks, VINTAGE Editions celebrate the audacity and ambition of the written word, transporting readers to wherever in the world literary innovation may be found.

A visionary scientist, a supreme painter, a man of eccentricity and ambition: Leonardo da Vinci had many lives. Born from a fleeting affair between a country girl and a young notary, Leonardo was never legitimized by his father and received no formal education. While this freedom from the routine of rigid and codified learning may have served to stimulate his natural creativity, it also caused many years of suffering and an insatiable need to prove his own worth. It was a striving for glory and an obsessive thirst for knowledge that prompted Leonardo to seek the protection and favour of the most powerful figures of his day, from Lorenzo de’ Medici to Ludovico Sforza, from the French governors of Milan to the pope in Rome, where he could vie for renown with Michelangelo and Raphael. In this revelatory account, Antonio Forcellino draws on his expertise – both as historian and as restorer of some of the world’s greatest works of art – to give us a more detailed view of Leonardo than ever before. Through careful analyses of his paintings and compositional technique, down to the very materials used, Forcellino offers fresh insights into Leonardo’s artistic and intellectual development. He spans the great breadth of Leonardo’s genius, discussing his contributions to mechanics, optics, anatomy, geology and metallurgy, as well as providing acute psychological observations about the political dynamics and social contexts in which Leonardo worked. Forcellino sheds new light on a life all too often overshadowed and obscured by myth, providing us with a fresh perspective on the personality and motivations of one of the greatest geniuses of Western culture.

After twenty years, Odysseus finally returns to Ithaca, but instead of receiving the homecoming he had hoped for finds himself caught in an intense battle of wills with his faithful and long-suffering wife Penelope. When Penelope recognizes him under the guise of a beggar, she becomes furious with him for not trusting her enough to include her in his plans for ridding the palace of the Suitors. As a result, she plays her own game of fictions to make him suffer for this lack of faith, inspiring jealousy, self-doubt, and misgivings in her husband, the legendary Homeric hero. In this captivating retelling of the Odyssey, Penelope rises as a major force with whom to be reckoned. Shifting between first-person reflections, Ithaca Forever reveals the deeply personal and powerful perspectives of both wife and husband as they struggle for respect and supremacy within a marriage that has been on hold for twenty years. Translated by PEN award-winner Douglas Grant Heise, Luigi Malerba’s novel gives us a remarkable version of this greatest work of western literature: Odysseus as a man full of doubts and Penelope as a woman of great depth and strength.

Leo is an Italian writer in his thirties. Thomas, his German lover, is dead. On a plane to Munich, Thomas's home town, Leo slips into a reverie of their meeting and life in Paris, nights in Thomas's flat in Montmartre and a desperate, drug-induced flight through the forests of northern France that spells the end for Leo and Thomas' languid, erotic life together. Leo travels to find anonymity.Structured in three musical movements, Separate Rooms is a story of ideal love, broken by absence and separation. When Thomas was alive, he and Leo had separate rooms in order to preserve the urgency of their passion. Now, Leo faces solitude, the impossible striving of memory to recreate life and the hostility of a prejudiced world. Separate Rooms, Tondelli's last book, is a powerful novel of the strength of love and the trauma of death.

Hurled back in time, a London police detective struggles to solve a nineteenth-century murder mystery in Golden Age master John Dickson Carr’s thrilling mystery novel A woman is killed in a well-lit corridor, dying before the eyes of three witnesses who, impossibly, detect no foul play. For more than a century, this baffling murder lies cold in the files of Scotland Yard until it is discovered by Detective-Superintendent John Cheviot, who yearns to apply modern scientific policing to the grisly old case. He is about to get his chance. Taking a cab to Scotland Yard, Cheviot steps out in front of Old Scotland Yard and sees a beautiful woman beckoning him. Suddenly it is 1829 and Cheviot is a member of the newly organized London police force. He might now have an opportunity to solve the most puzzling murder in the Yard’s history, but in a time before fingerprints and ballistic analysis, he will find police work to be far more baffling and brutal than he is used to.
