Výbor povídek od slavného otce americké literatury Mark Twain (1835–1910) byl především průkopníkem humoristické literatury v Americe. Sám se zdráhal jím být, neboť humor byl vnímán jako nižší forma psaní. Tomuto žánru se však svým temperamentem nemohl vyhnout. Jeho styl nemá obdoby. William Faulkner ho právem označil za otce americké literatury.

Accolta gelidamente alla prima assoluta di Monaco (1891), poco amata in Scandinavia per la sua estraneità culturale e di costume, in Italia Hedda Gabler , pur non divenendo mai popolare, fu comunque assunta tra i cavalli di battaglia delle primedonne, a cominciare dalla Duse, né mancò di turbare la critica contemporanea: «simbolica e realista», «pallida elegante, fredda», disse Giovanni Pozza; e Scipio Slataper, nella sua tesi di laurea su Ibsen , parlò di «isterica passione», di «qualche cosa che ci fa star zitti e meravigliati». Nel riproporre questa figura di donna gelida e asessuata, amante della vita come eroina dell'estetismo, Franco Quadri ne percorre e analizza, nella sua nota introduttiva, la vicenda ormai secolare sulle scene italiane.

In this chilling installment of “the first great series of police thrillers” (Michael Ondaatje, national bestselling author of Warlight) by an internationally renowned crime duo, superintendent Martin Beck investigates a string of child murders. In the once peaceful parks of Stockholm, a killer is stalking young girls and disposing their bodies. The city is on edge, and an undercurrent of fear has gripped its residents. Martin Beck, now a superintendent, has two possible witnesses: a silent, stone-cold mugger and a mute three year old boy. With the likelihood of another murder growing as each day passes, the police force work night and day. But their efforts have offered little insight into the methodology of the killer. Then a distant memory resurfaces in Beck's mind, and he may just have the break he needs.
