Quando Philip Marlowe, l'investigatore privato ideale di Raymond Chandler, vede per la prima volta Terry Lennox ubriaco in una Rolls Royce fuori serie di fronte alla terrazza del Dancers non sa ancora quale influenza avrà sul suo destino. Lo sorregge tra le sue braccia, comunque, dopo che la donna che lo accompagnava ha tagliato la corda con la Rolls, accennando a un appuntamento irrecusabile, e cerca di tenerlo su in tutte le maniere, non solo fisicamente. Così si lega a Terry in una tormentosa successione di eventi pericolosi. L'amicizia virile, movimento classico del romanzo di avventura, è qui celebrata quasi oltre ogni limite. Il lungo addio è forse il più tragico e il piu bello dei romanzi di Chandler. Nell'amicizia virile come nell'amore bisogna essere in due, ma la quota di amicizia o d'amore non è mai uguale.

In her story, the birds become hostile after a harsh winter with little food—first the seagulls, then birds of prey, and finally even small birds—all turn against mankind. The nightmarish vision appealed to Hitchcock who turned it into the celebrated film.

L'ultimo romanzo di Jane Austen, pubblicato postumo, è considerato un tesoro tra i fan dell'autrice. Anne Elliot, ventisette anni, è la figlia di mezzo di Sir Walter Elliot, un uomo vanitoso e orgoglioso. Le sue sorelle sono fredde ed egoiste, mentre solo Lady Russell, un'amica materna, si preoccupa per il suo benessere. Tuttavia, è stata proprio Lady Russell a convincere Anne, anni prima, a rompere il fidanzamento con il Capitano Wentworth, il suo grande amore. Da allora, la bellezza e il fascino giovanile di Anne sono svaniti, e non ha mai superato il dolore della separazione. Per un caso del destino, i cammini di Anne e Wentworth si incrociano nuovamente, ma la loro riunione è segnata da malintesi. Attraverso una narrazione ricca di emozioni e complessità, Austen esplora temi di amore, rimpianto e la ricerca della felicità in un contesto sociale restrittivo.
