Constantin este povestea experienței lui Mihai, un tînăr student venit din provincie la București, acasă la cel care i-a închiriat o cameră pe perioada studiilor: Toader Constantin. În apartamentul dărăpănat al acestuia se petrec o serie de întîmplări tragicomice, ai căror protagoniști sînt chiriașii săi, oameni de tot felul, cu povești de viață dintre cele mai diferite și mai interesante, care trăiesc într-un București poate prea pragmatic și uneori chiar ostil. Constantin este el însuși o poveste, care nu se lasă însă descoperită prea ușor, nici chiar de „bunul chiriaș” Mihai. O carte despre Bucureștiul real, despre oamenii care îl populează și, în cele din urmă, despre viață așa cum e ea, descrisă cu un fin spirit de observație și simț psihologic.

Nadine en haar tweelingbroer Isaac zijn op hun veertiende door het stukgelopen huwelijk van hun ouders ook van elkaar gescheiden. Isaac vertrekt met hun Libanese vader naar diens geboorteland, terwijl Nadine met hun Nederlandse moeder achterblijft in Noord-Limburg. Als de wereld jaren later wordt opgeschrikt door een explosie in de haven van Beiroet, weet Nadine één ding zeker: ze moet erheen.

Metaphysical and blasphemous novel about the tragedy of war that never meets a clean end with a peace treaty. The war goes on, residing within its victims who carry it from one generation to the next.

Malwina, an exceptionally sensitive girl, experiences her grandmother’s wartime memories in her dreams. This makes her exist in two parallel realities at once: the 1940s Eastern borderlands and Siberia along the 1990s Poland. Those realities seep and bleed through one another, making Malwina a catcher of her survivor grandmother’s dreams, or perhaps a dybbuk who gives voice to the dead. To Malwina, the war persists, haunting her day and night alike. Poignant and piercing, Koniec is an impressively well-crafted prose.

Каква следа оставяме?
На какво сме готови, за да постигнем целта си?
Какво бихме пожертвали, за да сме в мир със себе си?

Две двойки, чиито пътища не би трябвало да се пресекат – различно социално положение, образование, среда. Общото помежду им – мечтата за дете. Тя ги изправя един срещу друг в най-важната битка в живота им.

Lucio falls in love with "the boy" even before meeting him: just watching him from the window of his office is enough for him to become almost obsessed. When they finally meet, he discovers that Davide is much younger than him (still studying), and that he is elusive, unreliable, and "cruel" in the way only twenty-year-olds can be cruel.

For two months, Lucio and Davide have dinner together, have sex, go to the beach, and often sleep at Lucio's place. However, Davide does not fall in love. He continues to seek Lorenzo, the only man he (perhaps) truly loved, of whom he keeps only a pixelated photo on an old cellphone. Like many twenty-year-olds, he is also confused, wounded, and willing to nestle into the routine of always having a Coca-Cola ready for him in the refrigerator.

"Di me non sai" tells the story of a relationship lived in an opposite, incompatible way, whose nature is revealed to the reader only as the novel progresses. Alternating the perspectives of the two protagonists in short, sometimes very short chapters, Raffaele Cataldo shows the misalignment of feelings and the painful consequences it can have, the slow pace of hot Apulian summers, and the obsessive loves (present and absent) that, like wild oat seeds, cling to hair, shoes, and clothes.
