Pubblicato nel 1928 dall'editore Pagani, "Il quadrante dell'amore" contiene l'omonimo romanzo, incentrato sul personaggio di Ettore Giorgi (un giovane orologiaio esperto nel restauro di vecchi meccanismi) e il racconto "La storia di Mirka", ambientato invece in un'Ungheria che fa da sfondo a una storia d'amore. Col suo stile tipico, che l'ha resa una delle autrici più moderne - ma anche più amate - dell'Italia di inizio Novecento, Flavia Steno confeziona così due storie che solo apparentemente paiono non avere nulla in comune. Ma basterà leggerle, per rendersi conto di essere stati rapiti, ancora una volta, dalla verve narrativa della grande scrittrice luganese... Amelia Cottini Osta (1877-1946) nasce a Lugano. Autrice dapprima di articoli e romanzi d'appendice, si afferma successivamente come corrispondente di guerra, distinguendosi come una fra le uniche donne ad aver documentato la Prima Guerra Mondiale direttamente dal fronte. Il 27 luglio 1944, avendo osteggiato il morente regime fascista in un suo articolo, verrà condannata in contumacia a quindici anni. Nascostasi in un cascinale insieme a dei partigiani - nei pressi di Moncalvo - attenderà la fine della guerra, di cui, fino alla morte, denuncerà le crudeltà. È autrice, fra i tanti romanzi, di "Fra cielo e mare", "Il pallone fantasma" e "L'ultimo sogno".

One day, a great meeting of noble children was held in the merchant's house. Two little girls boasted about the fame and wealth of their parents. A poor boy, was peaking in through the open door and was vexed... If only he know what was waiting for him! Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children's literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.

"Between the Baltic and the North seas is an old swan's nest, which is called Denmark: swans are born here, whose names will never die." This is the story of the swans, who, in ancient times, split up into many groups and flew to many countries. Every group had a name and everywhere they went their beauty and elegance were admired.

Cette histoire est inspirée de « L'Origine du monde », célèbre tableau de Gustave Courbet exposé au musée d'Orsay à Paris et qui fit couler beaucoup d'encre quant à l'identité de son modèle. Ce n'est qu'en 2018 que cette énigme vieille de 152 ans est résolue : cet « intérieur » appartenait à Constance Quéniaux, courtisane et ex-danseuse à l'Opéra de Paris. Cette trilogie nous conte les dessous de la création de cette oeuvre mythique, par le biais de la vie sulfureuse de Constance et de ses nombreux amants. Dans ce volume, c'est son histoire d'amour foudroyante et pleine d'ivresse avec Khalil, un diplomate turco-égyptien, figure flamboyante du Tout-Paris des années 1860 et commanditaire du tableau, qui est racontée.

Jednak prawda wyglada zupelnie inaczej, kiedy ludzie bedacy dookola znikaja, na jaw wychodzi prawdziwa natura Zo´ski...
