Heart of Darkness

Conrad, Joseph

Heart of Darkness, a novel by Joseph Conrad, was originally a three-part series in Blackwood's Magazine in 1899. It is a story within a story, following a character named Charlie Marlow, who recounts his adventure to a group of men onboard an anchored ship. The story told is of his early life as a ferry boat captain. Although his job was to transport ivory downriver, Charlie develops an interest in investing an ivory procurement agent, Kurtz, who is employed by the government. Preceded by his reputation as a brilliant emissary of progress, Kurtz has now established himself as a god among the natives in “one of the darkest places on earth.” Marlow suspects something else of Kurtz: he has gone mad.A reflection on corruptive European colonialism and a journey into the nightmare psyche of one of the corrupted, Heart of Darkness is considered one of the most influential works ever written.

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Stevenson, Robert Louis

'All human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil: and Edward Hyde, alone in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil'Published as a shilling shocker, Robert Louis Stevenson's dark psychological fantasy gave birth to the idea of the split personality. The story of respectable Dr Jekyll's strange association with damnable young man Edward Hyde, the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer, and the final revelation of Hyde's true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil.

My year of rest and relaxation

Moshfegh, Ottessa

When I'd slept enough, I'd be okay. I'd be renewed, reborn.''From one of our boldest, most celebrated new literary voices, a novel about a young woman’s efforts to duck the ills of the world by embarking on an extended hibernation with the help of one of the worst psychiatrists in the annals of literature and the battery of medicines she prescribes.Our narrator should be happy, shouldn’t she? She’s young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate, works an easy job at a hip art gallery, lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like the rest of her needs, by her inheritance. But there is a dark and vacuous hole in her heart, and it isn’t just the loss of her parents, or the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her, or her sadomasochistic relationship with her best friend, Reva. It’s the year 2000 in a city aglitter with wealth and possibility, what could be so terribly wrong?My Year of Rest and Relaxation is a powerful answer to that question. Through the story of a year spent under the influence of a truly mad combination of drugs designed to heal our heroine from her alienation from this world, Moshfegh shows us how reasonable, even necessary, alienation can be. Both tender and blackly funny, merciless and compassionate, it is a showcase for the gifts of one of our major writers working at the height of her powers.

Demon copperhead

Demon copperhead

Kingsolver, Barbara

Demon Copperhead is set in the mountains of southern Appalachia. It's the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father's good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. In a plot that never pauses for breath, relayed in his own unsparing voice, he braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses. Through all of it, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities.Many generations ago, Charles Dickens wrote David Copperfield from his experience as a survivor of institutional poverty and its damages to children in his society. Those problems have yet to be solved in ours. Dickens is not a prerequisite for readers of this novel, but he provided its inspiration. In transposing a Victorian epic novel to the contemporary American South, Barbara Kingsolver enlists Dickens' anger and compassion, and above all, his faith in the transformative powers of a good story. Demon Copperhead speaks for a new generation of lost boys, and all those born into beautiful, cursed places they can't imagine leaving behind.

Pride and prejudice

AUSTEN, JANE

'No sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she had hardly a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes ...'When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited, he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

Dogs and Monsters

Haddon, Mark

Mark Haddon weaves ancient fables into fresh and unexpected forms, and forges new legends to sit alongside them. The myth of the Minotaur in his labyrinth is turned into a wrenching parable of maternal love – and of the monstrosities of patriarchy. The lover of a goddess, Tithonus, is gifted eternal life but without eternal youth. Actaeon, changed into a stag after glimpsing the naked Diana and torn to pieces by his hunting dogs, becomes a visceral metaphor about how humans use and misuse animals.

Soleil sombre

Schmitt, Éric-Emmanuel

Poursuivant sa traversée de l’histoire humaine, Noam s’éveille d’un long sommeil sur les rives du Nil, en 1650 av. J.-C., et se lance à la découverte de Memphis, capitale des deux royaumes d’Égypte. Les temps ont bien changé. Des maisons de plaisir à la Maison des morts, des quartiers hébreux au palais de Pharaon se dévoile à lui une civilisation inouïe qui se transmet sur papyrus, vénère son fleuve nourricier, invente l’au-delà, érige des temples et des pyramides pour accéder à l’éternité. Mais Noam, le cœur plein de rage, n’a qu’une idée en tête : en découdre avec son ennemi pour connaître enfin l’immortalité heureuse auprès de Noura, son aimée. Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt nous embarque cette fois en Égypte ancienne, au cœur d’un monde qui prospéra pendant plus de trois mille ans, et restitue cette effervescence, dont notre modernité a conservé des traces, mais qui reste dans l’Histoire des hommes une parenthèse aussi sublime qu’énigmatique.

Los años rotos

Maraini, Dacia

Enrica tiene diecisiete años y sobrevive pasivamente en una cotidianidad mediocre y asfixiante. En su casa, como ajenos a su presencia, coexisten un padre abstraído en la construcción de invendibles jaulas para pájaros y una madre desengañada que se consume en una rutina anodina y frustrante. Sumida en esta condición de crónico desamparo, Enrica se ve obligada a hacer frente sola a los cambios de una existencia desconcertante sin más armas que su desidia. Indolente y resignada, se deja arrastrar por la inercia de la vida y deambula a tientas entre el amor y el sexo buscando en ellos un refugio y una forma de definirse. En este paisaje de desoladora aridez emocional, que se refleja en la sórdida atmósfera de la periferia proletaria de la Roma de principios de los años sesenta, se lleva a cabo la educación sentimental de una adolescente aturdida por una descarga continua de sensaciones sin sentimientos que lucha instintivamente para encontrar su propia identidad de mujer. Un bellísimo retrato que destaca por la fuerza narrativa y la inmediata sencillez realista que acomuna a los mejores personajes femeninos creados por Dacia Maraini.
