Una cerchia di anziani signori e signore londinesi, tutti agiati membri della migliore società, riceve successivamente una telefonata misteriosa con il seguente messaggio: «Ricorda che devi morire». Questo segnale, che all’inizio appare come un fastidioso disturbo, poi come una scandalosa beffa, alla fine risulterà essere il primo artificio di una vendetta sottilmente escogitata. A poco a poco, l’anonima minaccia rivela una rete di rapporti alquanto sordidi e perversi, come se possedesse la salutare qualità di portare alla luce tutto ciò che un gruppo ben selezionato di persone può celare in fatto di menzogne, tradimenti, invidie, rancori, ricatti, debolezze, violenze, inganni, duplicità, crudeltà. E la narrazione procede con passo leggero e spedito, con magistrali spostamenti di prospettiva, tracciando un percorso che ha l’astratta bellezza di una figura geometrica e insieme una minuta rispondenza psicologica ai vari caratteri. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1959, questo gioiello dello humour nero, oggi considerato uno dei romanzi inglesi memorabili degli ultimi decenni, fu così accolto da Graham Greene: «Macabro ed esilarante, mi ha incantato come pochi altri romanzi».

Poignant, hilarious, and spooky, Memento Mori addresses old age In late 1950s London, something uncanny besets a group of elderly friends: an insinuating voice on the telephone reminds each: Remember you must die. Their geriatric feathers are soon thoroughly ruffled, and many an old unsavory secret is dusted off.

Fiction. Daniel King's short story collection cycles through the shadowy landscapes of death, gnarled relationships, the slippery side of human nature, even the contemporary lure of cosmetic surgery pushed to a surprising extreme. Philosophically pointed with a surreal bite, the characters of these stories wrestle with existence and each other as profound questions scatter them. King's stories have been widely published and praised in Australia and overseas, and this compilation was Highly Commended in the 2010 Interactive Publications Picks Award for Best Fiction.

If you're looking for inspiration, escape, or just poetic entertainment, you've come to the right place. Memento Mori's poems are honest, simple and beautifully crafted. Their honesty gives them force, and their simplicity makes them accessible. There is no wondering, no confusion, no searching for a message. Some poems will thrill you as you read them, others will work slowly into your heart, and still others will call you back time and time again to revisit them. Memento Mori offers something for everybody. The newcomer will find they "get" these poems without having to struggle, while the veteran will enjoy discovering the secret treasures hidden within them. In a time when poetry seems to be more about what is not said than what is, Memento Mori gets back to the basics by combining the delicate beauty of poetry with the fine art of storytelling. Memento Mori: in Latin it means "remember your mortality." Life is short-it's time to read and feel the poetry.

Die Heerscharen der Finsternis bereiten die endgultige Vernichtung des Himmelreiches und der Menschheit vor. Diesmal konnen sie vielleicht nicht aufgehalten werden. Father Lewis Mackay, ein enger Freund und Schuler des ermordeten Julius McShane, bereitet sich mit Hilfe des Erzengels Gabriel auf den bevorstehenden Kampf vor. Er will sich den Himmelslegionen anschlieen und sich, wenn notig, Luzifer selbst entgegenstellen. Nun gilt es, die womoglich alles entscheidende Schlacht um das Uberleben der Menschheit zu schlagen...

In this revealing and entertaining guide to how the Romans confronted their own mortality, Peter Jones shows us that all the problems associated with old age and death that so transfix us today were already dealt with by our ancient ancestors two thousand years ago. Romans inhabited a world where man, knowing nothing about hygiene let alone disease, had no defences against nature. Death was everywhere. Half of all Roman children were dead by the age of five. Only eight per cent of the population made it over sixty. One bizarre result was that half the population consisted of teenagers. From the elites' philosophical take on the brevity of life to the epitaphs left by butchers, bakers and buffoons, Memento Mori ('Remember you die') shows how the Romans faced up to this world and attempted to take the sting out of death.
