A Song of Sixpence & A Pocketful of Rye

A.J. Cronin

First published in 1970, nine years after Ernest Hemingway's death, Islands in the Stream is the story of an artist and adventurer -- a man much like Hemingway himself. Rich with the uncanny sense of life and action characteristic of his writing -- from his earliest stories (In Our Time) to his last novella (The Old Man and the Sea) -- this compelling novel contains both the warmth of recollection that inspired A Moveable Feast and a rare glimpse of Hemingway's rich and relaxed sense of humor, which enlivens scene after scene. Beginning in the 1930s, Islands in the Stream follows the fortunes of Thomas Hudson from his experiences as a painter on the Gulf Stream island of Bimini, where his loneliness is broken by the vacation visit of his three young sons, to his antisubmarine activities off the coast of Cuba during World War II. The greater part of the story takes place in a Havana bar, where a wildly diverse cast of characters -- including an aging prostitute who stands out as one of Hemingway's most vivid creations -- engages in incomparably rich dialogue. A brilliant portrait of the inner life of a complex and endlessly intriguing man, Islands in the Stream is Hemingway at his mature best.

THE MELTING MAN

VICTOR CANNING

Death on a Guided TourIt was April in Rome, and gathered together in the church of San Tommaso in Pallario was the kind of varied group of people that can only meet on a tour. It included a superannuated jetsetter and her junkie nephew, a bad-tempered, ultra-British major, a boisterous Baron and Baroness, and an extremely reticent best-selling author. They were there under the aegis of one Sebastian Mailer, who had promised them a most unconventional tour—a claim no one later disputed, after encountering murder, blackmail and drug-running.Superintendent Roderick Alleyn, in Rome on a special mission, became involved in the case, and found it one of his most baffling—a case in which every suspect might equally well prove a victim…(Publisher’s description)

«Chissà che ne era degli altri ragazzi della sua classe... Non aveva più rivisto nessuno. Crochet, che era figlio di un notaio, doveva aver rilevato lo studio del padre. Orban, uno dolce e grassottello, aveva intenzione di studiare medicina. Qualcuno magari era andato a vivere altrove, in Francia o all’estero.Perché, fra tutti, doveva capitargli di ritrovare proprio Florentin, e in circostanze così spiacevoli? Si ricordava la pasticceria, anche se lui non c’era entrato spesso. Altri studenti, di famiglie più benestanti della sua, si riunivano lì per mangiare dolci e gelati, in uno scenario fatto di specchi, marmi e decori dorati, in un’atmosfera calda e zuccherosa. Per le signore della città, una torta non era buona se non era di Florentin.E adesso Maigret scopriva una bottega di robivecchi polverosa e cupa, dai cui vetri, che con ogni probabilità non erano mai stati lavati, filtrava una luce fioca».
