I romanzi di questa "Trilogia" nascono dalla tragedia di chi fu allontanato dal proprio paese in nome di una motivazione aberrante come quella razziale. In "L'amico ritrovato" questa lacerazione coincide con la fine dell'amicizia tra due compagni di liceo, Hans Schwarz, ebreo figlio di borghesi, e il nobile Konradin von Hohenfels. Il nazismo travolge questo legame come un contagio che sembra colpire anche l'amico di un tempo e portarlo al tradimento. La smentita verrà solo trent'anni anni dopo, imprevista e commovente, nell'ultima lettera scritta da Konradin in "Un'anima non vile". Così l'amicizia è al centro dell'esperienza di Simon Elsas che, tornato dall'esilio, lenirà le ferite dell'anima confrontandosi con i suoi amici di un tempo.

Yvette is an innocent rector's daughter. When she meets a handsome gipsy she feels him watching her, acutely aware of her virginity. Half drawn to him and half afraid, it is only when her life is endangered that she finally feels true love. United by the theme of love, the writings in the Great Loves series span over two thousand years and vastly different worlds. Readers will be introduced to love's endlessly fascinating possibilities and extremities: romantic love, platonic love, erotic love, gay love, virginal love, adulterous love, parental love, filial love, nostalgic love, unrequited love, illicit love, not to mention lost love, twisted and obsessional love . . . .

With her soft brown hair, lithe figure and big, wondering eyes, Constance Chatterley is possessed of a certain vitality. Yet she is deeply unhappy, married to a physical and emotional cripple, and embarks on an affair with Mellors, the gamekeeper.

Born in 1922 in Lowell, Massachusetts, Jack Kerouac emerged as a pivotal figure in American literature, defining the Beat Generation through his innovative 'spontaneous prose' style. He captured the essence of the American traveler and the spirit of his era in seminal works like On the Road, The Subterraneans, and The Dharma Bums. His literary legacy also includes notable titles such as Big Sur and Mexico City Blues, showcasing his diverse talents in both prose and poetry. Kerouac's influence endures long after his passing in 1969.
