    • "Robinson Crusoe" tells the story of a young man who defies his parents' wishes to pursue a life at sea, leading to a shipwreck that leaves him stranded on a deserted island for 28 years. The novel explores themes of survival, self-reliance, and the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity. Crusoe's solitary existence forces him to confront his own beliefs and values, reflecting on his relationship with God and the nature of civilization. Throughout his time on the island, he learns to cultivate the land, build shelter, and create a life for himself, ultimately encountering a native man whom he names Friday, with whom he forms a complex bond. The narrative serves as an allegory for personal and societal development, delving into the implications of colonialism and the moral dilemmas of civilization. Defoe's work has sparked extensive literary criticism and analysis, influencing countless writers and thinkers across centuries, making it a foundational text in English literature.

      Una governante misteriosa così brava a raccontare storie da farle diventare pericolosamente reali; un castello popolato da lupi; una sala degli specchi dove il tempo non esiste; fantasmi vendicativi e fantasmi tormentati da una promessa non mantenuta; una gondola stregata su cui è anche troppo facile salire: basta essere abbastanza imprudenti da fare un patto col suo diabolico gondoliere. Dieci avventure terrificanti da raccontare intorno al fuoco, mentre fuori il vento, sempre che sia davvero il vento!, scuore la notte col suo ululato minaccioso.

      Terry and Arthur are still in business. Now, take Terry McCann: he's a hard boy, he's even done a bit of porridge, but he's got a heart of gold. He'll do anything for anyone. And take Arthur Daley - please. I've heard he even charges his mum petrol money when he runs her home. Arthur will do anyone for anything; perhaps that's why he needs Terry as a minder...
