Várólista és további felnőttmesék


Kevesen tudják olyan hitelesen megszólaltatni az érzelmeknek azt a sokszínű elegyét, amelyet nap mint nap átélünk, mint Rényi Ádám, a "félperces" novellák immár többkötetes mestere. Hiszen ne is tagadjuk: hol ábrándos vágyakozásba merülünk, amikor a vakvéletlen mellénk sodorja egy utazás közben titkos szerelmünket; hol megrökönyödünk, amikor kiderül, hogy idős barátnőnk nemzetközi összeesküvésnek tulajdonítja a késésünket a cukrászdából; hol kínzó kíváncsiságunk hajt bennünket, hogy meglessük az időnként rejtélyes módon felszívódó házastársunkat; hol elönt bennünket a soha be nem vallott sárga irigység, amikor egy közeli ismerős frissen elnyert díjához kell gratulálni; vagy épp a magányosság csalja ki a könnyünket, ha úgy alakul a karácsony, hogy egyedül sütögetjük a zserbót odahaza. S persze ezeken túl is számos húrt megpendítenek a kötet novellái, amelyek a groteszk futamoktól a lírai darabokon át a vitriolos társadalomkritikáig és a kacagtató jelenetekig úgy tartanak görbe tükröt a mai magyar mindennapok és úgy általában a mai ember elé, hogy közben cseppet sem bántóak, épp ellenkezőleg: az író egyfelől a tőle megszokott vérbeli humorral és sziporkázó mondatokkal szórakoztat, másfelől őszinte és szeretetteljes érzékenységgel formálja meg még leghóbortosabb hőseit is. Cserébe pedig mi, olvasók sem tudjuk nem szívből szeretni ezeket a mélyen emberi történeteket.

És „sikeresen” leöntöm a tűzforró kávémmal. Legnagyobb meglepetésemre az áldozatom nem csupán megbocsájtja nekem, hogy tönkretettem az ingét, de abba is szempillantás alatt beleegyezik, hogy eljátssza a kedvemért életem szerelmét. Merthogy el kell terelnem a sajtó figyelmét legutóbbi szívfájdalmamról. Egy dologban egyetértünk: semmi sem valós az egészből. Csakhogy minél tovább színleljük a szerelmet, annál nehezebb tartanom magam a megállapodásunkhoz. És a perzselő pillantásaiból ítélve ő is hasonló problémával küzd. Végül azonban egy este átlépjük a határt… És kezdem úgy érezni, hogy az álvőlegényem tényleg férjnek való. Louise Bay USA Today bestsellerszerző romantikus regényében egy jóképű angol orvos és egy híres amerikai popsztár szerelmének lehetünk szemtanúi, az esős, de mindig vibráló Londonban.

McTeague


McTeague (1899) chronicles the demise of a San Francisco couple at the end of the nineteenth century. Inspired by an actual crime that was sensationalized in the San Francisco papers, it tells the story of charlatan dentist McTeague, his wife Trina, and their spiralling descent into moral corruption. Norris is often considered to be the `American Zola'', and this is one of the most purely naturalistic American novels of the nineteenth century. With its compelling portrayal of human nature at its most basic level, McTeague is a gripping and passionate tale of greed, degeneration and death. It is also one of the first major works of literature to set in California, and it provided the story for Erich von Stroheim''s classic of the silent screen, Greed. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
