Alla centralità del tema amoroso nella narrativa breve non di rado si connette o si affianca la rappresentazione dell’irrazionalità e della follia, in diversi gradi, forme e manifestazioni: dal tragico al comico, dal drammatico al grottesco, dal serio e grave al parodico e irridente. A tali tematiche, dal Medioevo a Cervantes, e alle loro differenti declinazioni – cui si oppongono specularmente, con maggiore o minore frequenza e intensità, i richiami a principi d’ordine, ragione e misura – sono dedicati i saggi di questo volume, che trae origine dal confronto e dialogo di un gruppo di studiosi di più ambiti disciplinari: Letteratura italiana (Johannes Bartuschat, Anna Maria Cabrini, Sandra Carapezza, Claude Cazalé Bérard, Cristina Zampese); Filologia romanza (Beatrice Barbiellini Amidei, Luca Sacchi); Letteratura spagnola (Antonio Gargano, Maria Rosso); Linguistica italiana (Giuseppe Polimeni).

This collection of Russian short stories from the 21st century includes works by famous writers and young talents alike, representing a diversity of generational, gender, ethnic and national identities. Their authors live not only in Russia, but also in Europe and the US. Short stories in this volume display a vast spectrum of subgenres, from grotesque absurdist stories to lyrical essays, from realistic narratives to fantastic parables. Taken together, they display rich and complex cultural and intellectual reality of contemporary Russia, in which political, social, and ethnic conflicts of today coexist with themes and characters resonating with classical literature, albeit invariably twisted and transformed in an unpredictable way. Most of texts in this volume appear in English for the first time. 21 may be useful for college courses but will also provide exciting reading for anyone interested in contemporary Russia.

This collection brings together for the first time more than 360 of Mark Twain's short works written between 1851, the year of his first extant sketch, and 1871, when he renounced his ties with the Buffalo Express and the Galaxy, resolving to ";write but little for periodicals hereafter."; In October 1871 Clemens and his family moved to Hartford, where they would live until 1891. No longer a journalist, he was about to complete his second full-length book, Roughing It. The literary apprenticeship that he had begun twenty years before in the print shops of Hannibal, and pursued in the newspaper offices of Virginia City, San Francisco, and Buffalo, had at last come to a close. The selections included in these volumes represent a generous sampling from Mark Twain's most imaginative journalism, a few set speeches, a few poems, and hundreds of tales and sketches recovered from more than fifty newspapers and journals, as well as two dozen unpublished items of various description-the main body of what can now be found of his early literary and subliterary work, though by no means everything written during those twenty years of experimentation. The selections are ordered chronologically and therefore provide a nearly continuous record of the author's literary activity from his earliest juvenilia up through the mature work that he published in the Galaxy, the Buffalo Express, and many other journals.
