El Cafè de la Granota són catorze contes plens de gràcia i tendresa, i de misèria i desgràcies, i és també el primer llibre que Moncada va dedicar íntegrament a recrear la Mequinensa perduda sota el pantà de Riba-roja. Esperonat encara per Calders, que no es cansava d’animar-lo —“continua produint ‘granotes’ d’aquesta categoria i ens faràs contents a tots”, li diu a les cartes que clouen aquest volum—, i amb una llengua afinada, rica, divertida i vivíssima, Moncada treu a la palestra un enfilall de personatges dispars, rics i pobres, mesquins i ingenus, saberuts i ignorants, per fer-los girar en un calidoscopi alhora cru i entendridor.

Un ballo in maschera, due misteriose figure in domino rosso, uno straniero insolente, qualche parola incomprensibile e allusiva: queste apparizioni gettano, una sera, "un’ombra di avventura, di libertà e di pericolo" nella vita di un medico e di sua moglie, giovani, belli e chiusi in un’ovattata felicità domestica. Da quel momento essi entrano, senza saperlo, in un intreccio speculare di peripezie notturne tanto inverosimili da sembrare oniriche e di sogni tanto invadenti da sembrare fatti reali.

Della terra in cui è nata le sono rimasti pochi ricordi, vaghi e confusi: la zia Aster che si sforza di farla mangiare, i suoi passi a testa bassa sulla strada per la scuola, i giochi con il cugino Abbush e i bambini del quartiere. Le è rimasto il nome, che in amarico significa “nostalgia” e sembra alludere a qualcosa di originario che le mancherà sempre. E il cognome, Abraham, preso da un padre che non conosce, ma che si trascina dietro come un’ombra, come la traccia di un passato divenuto ormai troppo distante. Perché Tezeta è italiana.

Niente canne, né spleen, né amori perduti nel crudo Nordest.Ci sono milioni di italiani a cui questo paese piace esattamente così comè. Sono piccoli imprenditori che hanno fatto fortuna prima della crisi, oggi alle prese con crediti in sofferenza e fatture difficili da scontare. Sono famiglie totalmente assorbite dallimpegno di mandare avanti il lavoro, lattività, abituate a giudicare severamente il conflitto e la divagazione. Persone che credono nel denaro e nella possibilità del successo per chiunque sia disposto a sacrificarsi.

Бахтин в своем исследовании наглядно показал, как Достоевский, отойдя от старой художественной формы, расширил возможности романного слова. Федор Михайлович использовал в своих произведениях совершенно новое литературное мышление, при котором слова героев стали звучать будто из разных, независимых друг от друга источников, создавая определенную полифонию текста. Исследование произвело настоящую революцию в культурологическом мире и не утратило актуальности и в наше время – оно дает читателям возможность лучше понять творчество и истинный смысл произведений великого русского писателя.

Story
John Donne was born on the 22nd January 1572 in London, into a Roman Catholic family when Catholicism was illegal in England, and there was turbulence and unrest with both state and church throughout much of Europe. During the 1590s, Donne wrote a wide range of verses, including both erotic and sacred poems, creating two major volumes of work. His strong vivacious and sensual style fusing intellect and passion, as well as inventive use of subtle argument and syntax, provided a new radical perspective that reached beyond his contemporaries.

"Lorsque Irène, sortant de l'appartement de son amant, descendit l'escalier, de nouveau une peur subite et irraisonnée s'empara d'elle. Une toupie noire tournoya devant ses yeux, ses genoux s'ankylosèrent et elle fut obligée de vite se cramponner à la rampe pour ne pas tomber brusquement la tête en avant... Quand elle s'en retournait chez elle, un nouveau frisson mystérieux la parcourait auquel se mêlaient confusément le remords de sa faute et la folle crainte que dans la rue n'importe qui pût lire sur son visage d'où elle venait et répondre à son trouble par un sourire insolent."

Story
James Elroy Flecker, linguist, scholar, critic, poet, and diplomat, like his illustrious poetic peers, Wilfred Owen and Rupert Brooke, did not survive the First World War. All three died young: Owen and Brooke in the line of battle, and Flecker, who never fought due to a long-standing respiratory illness, in a sanatorium in Switzerland in 1915. Flecker's poems are generally short: none of his original verse works exceeds 1200 words in length. Flecker revised his poems regularly, refining their spare but telling verbiage and achieving simplicity and directness.
