Giorgio de Chirico. Immagini metafisiche

by Riccardo Dottori

Questo libro di complessa analisi e interpretazione dei dipinti di Giorgio de Chirico è unico nel suo genere, e fortunatamente anche come e-book (non necessariamente per Kindle; l’ePub costa 9,99 euro all’IBS) comprende immagini di buona…

Qui a tué Roger Ackroyd? [nouvelle édition]

Après avoir lu « La Vérité sur Dix petits nègres » et « L’affaire du chien des Baskerville » (lu en anglais : Sherlock Holmes Was Wrong: Reopening the Case of The Hound of the Baskervilles), je suis définitivement persuadé que la rigueur…

Tif et Tondu de Blutch et Robber – Mais où est Kiki ? N/B

The Killings at Kingfisher Hill

by Sophie Hannah

I dare say it’s only with the fourth “New Poirot” that Sophie Hannah finally managed to reach a cunningness comparable to that of the Grande Dame of Golden Age’s Crime. The first three attempts were of unequal quality in my view: I rated…
