Gli anni '90 del XX secolo hanno segnato un punto di non ritorno per la società e le lettere spagnole: la piena integrazione alla contemporaneità ha portato con sé l'asservimento alle leggi di mercato e l'affermarsi di un narrare aperto all'ibridazione tra linguaggi, insofferente alle distinzioni tra alta cultura e spettacolo popolare. In questo volume si prova a tracciare un bilancio ragionato di questo passaggio, smontando fenomeni generazionali discutibili e facendo dialogare tradizione e pop, in un confronto che coinvolge le traiettorie letterarie di Ray Loriga, Juan Bonilla e Juan Manuel de Prada, emblematiche per il loro snodarsi tra questi due estremi alla ricerca di una prosa laconica come un verso di canzone rock o esuberante di metafore, nel segno di una metaletteratura ludica o raffinata, tra cinema, musica, televisione e barocchismo.

The Third Degree by R.A.J. Walling is a classic British detective novel that blends intellectual intrigue with the quiet menace of psychological suspense. Known for his cerebral mysteries, Walling delivers another gripping case featuring his recurring sleuth, Philip Tolefree. The novel opens with a seemingly straightforward investigation into a suspicious death. But as Tolefree delves deeper, it becomes clear that the crime is anything but ordinary. A group of seemingly respectable individuals becomes the focus of intense scrutiny, and each interrogation reveals a new layer of motive, deceit, and guilt. The title, The Third Degree, refers not only to police questioning but also to the emotional pressure cooker that unfolds. Walling's style is methodical and elegant, emphasizing logical deduction and subtle human behavior. His characters are well-drawn, with believable flaws and motivations, and the narrative tension builds steadily as Tolefree edges closer to a surprising resolution. Set in a quiet English village with secrets simmering beneath the surface, the novel captures the atmosphere of traditional Golden Age mystery while offering a darker, more introspective tone. Readers are invited not only to follow clues but to question the moral complexities of truth and justice. For fans of classic, character-driven mysteries, The Third Degree is a compelling and intelligent read-perfect for those who appreciate quiet suspense and clever plotting.

First published in 1903 and hugely popular at the time, `The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft' by George Gissing is structured as a series of diary entries. The diary keeper is the fictional former writer Henry Ryecroft, now in his fifties. An unexpected inheritance has allowed him to enjoy a slow, solitary life in Devon, where he muses about art, nature, and society through his diary. Although this is a work of fiction, there are clear parallels between the narrator's life and Gissing's own life, which has led many commenters to view it as semi-autobiographical. George Gissing (1857-1903) was a British author from Wakefield, Yorkshire. A studious child, his love of fiction was sparked when he first read Charles Dickens, who would prove to be a lifelong inspiration for Gissing. He would go on to write `Charles Dickens: A Critical study' in 1898. At the age of just fifteen Gissing was awarded a scholarship to Owen's College University, where he won a number of prizes for his writing. His university education was cut short however when Gissing was found guilty of stealing from fellow students. Following his expulsion and punishment of a month's hard labour, Gissing travelled to America where he worked as a writer, teacher, and travelling salesman before returning to Britain. His first novels, `Workers in the Dawn' and `Mrs Grundy's Enemies' were self-published, and Gissing had to supplement his income through teaching. He wrote over twenty novels during the course of his literary career, which all drew on his own experiences of near-poverty, hardship, and his deeply unhappy personal life. His most famous works include, `The Nether World', `New Grub Street' and `The Odd Women'. He died in France in 1903.

Nous l'avons écrit sous le coup de la douleur qui nous a étreints, en songeant à ce que fut la bonté et la beauté de ce pays, et à ce qui reste l'horreur de sa dévastation.
