Abstract: A Blackheath House ogni cosa è ormai pronta per accogliere i facoltosi invitati al ballo in maschera indetto da Lord Peter e Lady Helena Hardcastle. In quella stessa tenuta, diciannove anni prima, si era verificato un tragico evento: il giovane lord Thomas aveva sventuratamente perso la vita, segnando il declino ineluttabile degli Hardcastle. Ecco perché dopo molti anni questa è la prima occasione in cui i padroni di casa radunano di nuovo i vecchi amici. Ma la morte a Blackheath House è destinata a presentarsi ancora: alle undici della sera, mentre trionfano in cielo i preannunciati fuochi d'artificio, la giovane e bella Evelyn, figlia di Lord Peter e Lady Helena, scivola nell'acqua del laghetto, a seguito di un colpo di pistola nel ventre. Il macabro evento è solo il primo di una serie: l’invito al ballo si rivela infatti un gioco spietato, che invita a giocare in particolare uno degli invitati alla festa: «Qualcuno verrà ucciso al ballo di stasera. Non sembrerà un omicidio e quindi l’assassino non verrà catturato. Risolvi quell’ingiustizia e ti mostrerò la via d’uscita». Il messaggio è destinato a Aiden Bishop, a cui tocca di rivivere la morte di Evelyn in loop, fino al momento in cui non sarà in grado di individuarne il colpevole. Solo così potrà lasciare la tenuta. Ma non è tutto, perché come se non bastasse Aiden rivivrà l'omicidio di volta in volta nei panni diversi di ciascuno degli ospiti presenti.

Abstract: A witty, moving philosophical novel, Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums is a journey of self-discovery through the lens of Zen Buddhist thought. This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Ann Douglas. Following the explosive energy of On the Road, the book that put the Beat Genration on the literary map - and Jack Kerouac on the bestseller list - comes The Dharma Bums, in which Kerouac charts the spiritual quest of a group of friends in search of Dharma, or Truth. Ray Smith and his friend Japhy, along with Morley the yodeller, head off into the high Sierras to seek the lesson of solitude and experience the Zen way of life. But in wildly Bohemian San Francisco, with its poetry jam sessions, marathon drinking bouts and experiments in 'yabyum', they find the ascetic route distinctly hard to follow. Jack Kerouac (1922-69) was an American novelist, poet, artist and part of the Beat Generation. His first published novel, The Town and the City, appeared in 1950, but it was On the Road, published in 1957, that made Kerouac famous. Publication of his many other books followed, among them The Subterraneans, Big Sur, and The Dharma Bums. Kerouac died in Florida at the age of forty-seven. If you enjoyed The Dharma Bums, you might like Kerouac's On the Road, also available in Penguin Classics.
