To Clemens's inquiry "What, in your opinion, is the Bible?" my father, with his effortless genius, summarized his feelings about it in a single phrase: "The Bible is a book of allegories made to instruct man in the higher principles that should guide life." "And would you consider it a true" | Oscar Hijuelos | ||

| be4bb39 | Nils's gardens no longer bore any relationship to the needs of the house. Each spring he plowed and planted acres of vegetables and flowers. The coming up of the asparagus shoots was the signal for a hopeless race between the vegetables and Mrs. Garrison's table. Nils, embittered by the waste that he himself was the author of, came each evening to the kitchen door to tell the cook that unless they are more peas, more strawberries, more bean.. | John Cheever | ||

Aveva appena finito di nuotare e ora respirava profondamente, come se volesse mandar giu nei polmoni tutte le componenti di quel momento, il calore del sole e l'intensita del suo piacere; sembrava che tutte venissero aspi.. | John Cheever | ||

| af1574e | Oh what can you do with a man like that? What can you do? How can you dissuade his eye in a crowd from seeking out the cheek with acne, the infirm hand; how can you teach him to respond to the inestimable greatness of the race, the harsh surface beauty of life; how can you put his finger for him on the obdurate truths before which fear and horror are powerless? The sea that morning was iridescent and dark. My wife and my sister were swimmin.. | John Cheever | ||

| f124335 | These stories date from my Honorable Discharge from the Army at the end of World War II. Their order is, to the best of my memory, chronological and the most embarrassingly immature pieces have been dropped. These stories seem at times to be stories of a long-lost world when the city of New York was still filled with a river light, when you heard the Benny Goodman quartets from a radio in the corner stationery store, and when almost everybo.. | John Cheever | ||
| b1dc703 | For lovers, touch is metamorphosis. All the parts of their bodies seem to change, and they seem to become something different and better. That part of their experience that is distinct and separate, the totality of the years before they met, is changed, is redirected toward this moment.

| 2719de3 | Nada le esperaba en su apartamento. No habia ni una mujer, ni un hombre, ni un perro, ni un gato, y probablemente la cinta de su contestador automatico estaria en blanco; ademas, el barrio donde vivia se habia convertido en un lugar anonimo, como de transito, por lo que tampoco habria camareros o tenderos que le saludasen. Encendio la radio, pero la unica musica que pudo encontrar fue musica disco, la musica disco de esas discotecas que hab.. | John Cheever | ||
