The author of Invisible Cities explores love and war “with enormous realist dignity” in this collection of “wondrous work from [his] early career” (Kirkus, starred review). In this short story collection, one of Italy’s greatest storytellers explores the interior lives of characters just as their most cherished illusions of love are suddenly swept away. A soldier is reduced to quivering fear by the presence of a full-figured woman in his train compartment; a young clerk leaves a lady’s bed at dawn; a young woman is isolated from bathers on a beach by the loss of her bikini bottom. Confronted with a jarring moment of recognition, each of these characters discovers hidden truths beneath the surface of everyday life. This is the first edition in English to present these fifteen short stories together as Calvino originally envisioned them. It also includes two stories newly translated by Ann Goldstein.

People -- frustrating, confusing, disappointing, complicated -- are the most difficult part of leadership, and they challenge leaders everywhere, from leaders of many to managers of a few. In this book Chuck DeGroat addresses the flawed nature of people and offers wisdom for leaders of all types in dealing with just about anyone who is difficult to lead and to love. Toughest People to Love explores the basics of how people "tick," encouraging leaders to examine and take care of themselves so that they can better understand and care for others. Based on DeGroat's wealth of experience as a pastor, professor, and therapist, this book -- both wise and practical -- is one that countless leaders will go back to time and again for valuable insights and renewed vision.

Examining Calvino's literary experiments as a young artist in search of his narrative voice, Ricci explores the psychological and existential motivations intrinsically linked to the writer's need for textual and systemic patterning. I racconti contains some of Calvino's least-read works, yet these early stories address issues, present scenarios and generate a growing variation of themes that form the heart of Calvino's narrative discourse. Ricci points out that melancholy permeates Calvino's works—even at his most playful. He suggests that if Calvino's highest merit was his sense of wonder and his urge to transform and defeat obscurantism with all the joy he could muster, one must remember that his work expressed, often painfully, the limits of human rationalism. I racconti can thus be read as a catalogue of the anxieties of both the young author and postwar Italian society.

“Irma Kurti, Italian-Albanian poet and writer, with her beautiful and sincere verses that go straight to the reader’s heart, answers the question of whether it is possible to write and poetize in a language other than one’s mother tongue. This is a sensitive question, as also it encompasses the poetic attempt itself, but it is a successful endeavor in Kurti’s case. Kurti’s poetry travels poetically on two main tracks: on the first, it displays the theme of loneliness and, consequently, human alienation as seen through the poetic kaleidoscope of the poet’s own lonely soul. The second poetic track of the collection, the most sensitive and the most touching one with which Kurti’s entire opus is permeated, is the strand of a soul dripping with grief describing her great personal sadness and loss. In fact, the entire sylloge is dedicated to the memory of her parents, now her guardian angels, who departed for another dimension from which they yet inspire deep and unique tones and feelings; they are always watching over the poet’s every lyrical step.” - Vesna Andrejević
