Quasimodo
Alex Szollo este deja un autor recunoscut pentru abordarea curajoasa a unor subiecte cu impact in societatea contemporana. Dupa romanul Eu, Baraba si culegerea de eseuri Tupeu de crestin, scriitorul, un admirator al operei literare a lui Victor Hugo, isi provoaca cititorii cu un text ce ofera o remodelare a personajului Quasimodo din romanul Notre-Dame de Paris. In romanul Quasimodo, un cititor model va recunoaste povestirea hugoliana, dar va depasi nivelul empiric de intelegere a lecturii si va descoperi un text care isi rescrie povestirea si isi reconstruieste personajele, revelandu-si propriul adevar intr-o alta realitate Intertextualitatea la care apeleaza autorul este o strategie menita...
Nu de-aia sunt o inspiratie
Spuneti-i cum doriti, "cod al bunelor maniere", "avertizor de demnitate", dar Alex Szollo va pune in maini un manual din "Romania educata" v.2.0 (oare in educatie exista studii de fezabilitate?) despre umanitate, vaz, vizibilitate si holbat, accesibilizare, bagatori de seama, "ba, handicapatule", egalitatea de sanse, terapie, frici, despre iubire neconditionata si fiinte necuvantatoare, pasiuni, depasirea conditiei, muzica, despre ce pare "bolnav" si "sanatos", bullying, dizabilitate si neplata celor nspe pacate. Pe o rampa cu inclinare adecvata, veti fi pusi in situatii diferite, povestite cu umor, nonsalant si cu credinta, pentru a intelege ca exista normalitate, nu neputinta. Stiti care-i...
My Brother's Keeper
What if your brother was the most controversial figure in the history of the world and your job was to protect him? That's the challenge faced by Rabbi James of Jerusalem, whose kinsman, the Nazarene prophet, Jesus, is stirring debate and anxiety. James' only hope of fulfilling a deathbed promise to his father, Joseph, is his relationship with Pilate, the Roman governor, who turns to James for guidance in matters of Jewish law. Protecting Jesus becomes the focus of James' life as his brother runs afoul of temple authorities, and Zealot rebels attempt to exploit his growing popularity--their goal to foment a revolution against the hated Romans. But even such a widely admired man of honor and learning as James can't calm the fears of change aroused by Jesus and his movement, or counteract the forces of greed, corruption and violence that loom over a nation ready to explode.
The Spear of Longinus
“The spear of Longinus will fulfill the prophecy, and you will be covered with glory and ashes. From your descendants shall spring the sky’s flaming cross.” An enthralling tale set against the pageantry and decadence of first-century Rome, The Spear of Longinus chronicles youthful tragedy, the quest for revenge, hard-fought military campaigns, and burgeoning love, as well as the mysterious prophecies that haunt Tiberius Longinus ─ the Roman centurion who speared Jesus of Nazareth on his cross of sorrows. Unfolding throughout the far-flung reaches of the Roman Empire, the sweeping epic – from the imperial reign of Augustus to that of Vespasian — is a riveting saga of the hero’s adventures and his pursuit of the love of Helena Rufinus, his beguiling childhood sweetheart and the heroine of Rome. Aficionados of Ben Hur and The Robe will relish this historical novel’s exotic settings, deadly intrigues, deep friendships, enduring love, and the hero’s reluctant journey toward faith. All inexorably intertwine during an era when Rome’s pagan emperors vowed to eradicate the Jews and the fledgling Christian religion.

Elvis Is Alive
Elvis is Alive......It will leave you Spellbound...and wanting more. Elvis rose from the bench, walked slowly across the well manicured walkway, and came to a stop at the foot of several gravestones. Minnie, Elvis, Vernon, Jessie, Gladys, and Ebony's double.... In times past, this had always been an excruciating and unbearably painful experience. His very soul cried out, his heart breaking to the point where he feared that he would surely die. Certainly he would drop where he stood, or fall over as he knelt. This time, however, as he stood and waited for the pain and the tears to come streaming down his face, waiting for the ground to come rushing up as he fell to his knees, he realized that neither was happening. Hadn't he spoken to his beloved mother only hours ago? How radiant she looked in the fullness of health, and how supremely joyous she was. . He now found himself giggling out loud, struggling to fight a full blown belly laugh. It wasn't every day that one stood at the foot of his own grave. That's right. His very own grave. But the urge to get going rose within him again. There was no reason for him to remain here-he had a job to do.
