La historia de la humanidad está llena de cosas perdidas, relegadas al olvido en ocasiones, o destruidas por el hombre o la erosión de los días. Algunos de esos dispares objetos, reales o imaginarios, quedan recogidos e inventariados en este libro: los enigmáticos fragmentos que han pervivido de los poemas de Safo, el Palacio de la República de Berlín, el tigre del Caspio o el supuesto esqueleto de un unicornio. Una obra cautivadora e inclasificable que nos brinda la oportunidad de reflexionar sobre el significado de la pérdida...

Entonces tenían poco más de veinte años: un grupo de amigos que se citaban en el bar Kronen y consumían la juventud a base de sexo, alcohol y drogas. En algunas ocasiones coqueteaban con la muerte e incluso hubo quien salió mal parado de aquel coqueteo. Ha pasado mucho tiempo. Han pasado exactamente veinticinco años. Ahora trabajan y no se ganan mal la vida; algunos se han casado y tienen hijos. Casi ninguno de ellos consume drogas y las borracheras se han convertido en enología.

Mario, l'io narrante, e Guido, suo compagno di scuola, sono così diversi da essere speculari: il primo è un adolescente come tanti, impaurito e attratto dalla vita, indeciso nelle scelte e appena abbozzato nella personalità, l'altro ha autorevolezza e carisma, un'immaginazione e una propensione al rischio che lo rendono diverso da tutti gli altri, abbastanza per affascinarli, troppo per non spaventarli. Ma proprio i loro caratteri opposti rendono Mario e Guido complementari e simbiotici.

Cuando las largas sombras del amanecer se acortan gradualmente para, al mediodía, bajo nuestros pies, convertirse en un halo negro casi invisible, muestran lo que realmente son: raíces secretas que nos dan a luz. Los cuentos cortos, mínimos, son semillas de voluminosas novelas. En el atanor de la imaginación del escritor durante largo tiempo fermentan centenares de páginas, se disuelven y por fin coagulan en unas pocas líneas que, como un elixir alquímico, permiten una extensa recreación.

Fedele ai versi di Jorge Luis Borges, Nuccio Ordine ci invita a sperimentare la stessa umile fierezza suggerendoci di leggere (e rileggere) alcune delle più belle pagine della letteratura mondiale. Dopo "L'utilità dell'inutile", tradotto in 26 paesi, Ordine prosegue la sua battaglia per i classici, nella convinzione che un breve testo (illuminante e fuori dai sentieri battuti) possa suscitare la curiosità dei lettori e incoraggiarli a immergersi nell'intera opera.

Flavio e Francesco sono fratelli. Il primo dirige con successo l'azienda di famiglia e ha saputo far sua una vita che ha trovato già pronta. Il secondo, musicista e viaggiatore, è di quelli che fin da piccoli vanno a sbattere contro il mondo, e da grandi si ritrovano disillusi pur senza perdere l'ironia. Difficile immaginare due orbite più distanti, eppure la corrispondenza tra le certezze di Flavio e le inquietudini vagabonde di Francesco è troppo precisa per non far pensare a due opposti che, inesorabilmente, tornano ogni volta ad attrarsi.
