Dora: A Headcase is a contemporary coming-of-age story based on Freud’s famous case study — retold and revamped through Dora's point of view, with shotgun blasts of dark humor and sexual play. Ida needs a shrink. . or so her philandering father thinks, and he sends her to a Seattle psychiatrist. Immediately wise to the head games of her new shrink, whom she nicknames Siggy, Ida begins a coming-of-age journey. At the beginning of her therapy, Ida, whose alter ego is Dora, and her small posse of pals engage in "art attacks." Ida’s in love with her friend Obsidian, but when she gets close to intimacy, she faints or loses her voice. Ida and her friends hatch a plan to secretly film Siggy and make an experimental art film. But something goes wrong at a crucial moment — at a nearby hospital Ida finds her father suffering a heart attack. While Ida loses her voice, a rough cut of her experimental film has gone viral, and unethical media agents are hunting her down. A chase ensues in which everyone wants what Ida has

Oskars Vailds Doriana Greja ģīmetne Romāns Vienīgais O. Vailda publicētais romāns. Pirmoreiz publicēts 1890 gadā.  Publikācija Anglijas sabiedrībā izraisīja skandālu. Visa anglijas kritika novērtēja šo romānu kā amorālu, bet daži kritiķi pieprasīja tā aizliegšanu un autora tiesāšanu un sodīšanu. Vaildam inkriminēja sabiedriskās morāles aizskaršanu. Parastie lasītāji uzņēma ar sajūsmu. Pēc žanra - filosofisks romāns uzrakstīts dekadentisma stilā. Interesanti, ka sižets sasaucas ar leģendu par Faustu.  Dorianā Grejā - romāna galvenajā varonī jaušamas Fausta rakstura iezīmes. Mefistofeļa lomā ir lords Henrijs, tieši viņš visā romāna darbības laikā valdzina Dorianu ar hedonisma idejām pārvēršot nevainīgo un talantīgo jaunieti samaitātā briesmonī. Margaritas lomā ir Sibilla Veina bet jaunais Valentīns - Džeimss Veins. Dorians saņem mūžīgo jaunību tāpat kā Fausts. (Hedonisms (grieķu: hēdonē - bauda) - ētikas virziens, kas atzīst baudu par cilvēka darbības pamatmotīvu, galveno virzītājspēku, uzvedības kritēriju.)  Noskannējis grāmatu un failu izveidojis Imants Ločmelis Tulkojis Jānis Ezeriņš Mākslinieks Gunvalds Elers ©Tulkojums latviešu valodā, ilustrācijas «Liesma», 1976 izdevniecība Liesma Rīga 1976

Airių rašytojas Oskaras Vaildas dar XX amžiuje išleido romaną „Doriano Grėjaus portretas".Dorianas Grėjus amžinai jaunas… Ir amžiams prakeiktas. Talentingo dailininko Bezilio mūza, nepaprastai išvaizdus ir turtingas jaunuolis Dorianas susipažįsta su lordu Henriu, įkūnijančiu viską, kas nepadoru, nusikalstamai drąsu ir prieštarauja pasaulietinėms normoms. Šis įtraukia į gyvenimą, kurio pagrindinis variklis – egocentrizmas ir savimeilė. Grėjus parduoda sielą velniui – tampa nemirtinguoju, už kurį ima senti portretas…   „Doriano Grėjaus portretas“ yra bene garsiausias Wilde‘o kūrinys, kuriame paliečiamos ir šiais laikais aktualios temos. Šiame romane pasakojama apie jaunuolį, kuris kone parduoda savo sielą velniui. Bet apie viską nuo pradžių: gyveno toks dailininkas Bezilis. Jautrus ir meniškas buvo jis ir turėjo draugą, kontrastingą sau – lordą Henrį, kuris buvo kiek pasileidęs, išdidus ir ciniškas. Kaip jie gebėjo būti draugai, man dar vis lieka paslaptimi. Istorija pradeda rutuliotis tada, kai Henris pamato, kokį Bezilis nutapė jauno vaikino portretą – čia ne tik pats paveikslas buvo gražus, tačiau ir jaunasis pozuotojas buvo aprašomas kaip pasakiškai gražios išvaizdos. Henris prašo, kad Bezilis pasakytų, kas šis žmogus ir taip tiek lordas, tiek skaitytojas susipažįsta su Dorianu Grėjumis, labai jaunu vaikinu, naiviu, kurio požiūris į gyvenimą yra visiškai nesusiformavęs ir atrodo, kad jam ant kaktos parašyta, jog jis yra labai paveikiamas aplinkinių. Jau ir taip akivaizdu, kad Henris darys negerą įtaką Dorianui, kuris elgėsi kaip begalvis………………………………………….. (angl. The Picture of Dorian Gray -iš anglų k. vertė Lilija Vanagienė)

In a London squat, a band of bourgeois revolutionaries unite in their loathing for the waste and cruelty they see in the world around them. But soon they become involved in terrorist activities far beyond their level of competence. Only Alice, motherly, practical and determined, seems capable of organising anything. She likes to be on the battlefront: picketing, being bound over and spray-painting slogans. But her enthusiasm is also easy to exploit and she soon becomes ideal fodder for the group's more dangerous and potent cause. When their naive radical. fantasies turn into a chaos of real destruction, they realise that their lives will never be the same again

El tema de la imposibilidad de la relación amorosa, la inserción de un mundo fantástico en la realidad, la especulación filosófica y el humorismo distanciador son elementos recurrentes en Adolfo Bioy Casares que, en mayor o menor medida, se dan también cita en Dormir al sol. Lucho Bordenave lleva la existencia gris del empleado cesante, dedicado al oficio de relojero, hasta que, de modo un tanto misterioso, internan a su mujer en un `Instituto Frenopático`. A partir de ese momento nos adentramos en una región sin perfiles en que lo real se confunde con lo imaginado, el sueño con la vigilia y la locura con la lucidez. Las peripecias más inusitadas suceden bajo la apariencia de normalidad hasta llegar a las últimas páginas, dominadas por un mundo de pesadilla y culminadas por un desconcertante final

During a California earthquake Dorothy falls into the underground Land of the Manaboos where she again meets the Wizard of Oz

I didn't ask for any of this. I didn't ask to be some kind of hero. But when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado—taking you with it—you have no choice but to go along, you know? Sure, I've read the books. I've seen the movies. I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little blue birds. But I never expected Oz to look like this. To be a place where Good Witches can't be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion. There's still the yellow brick road, though—but even that's crumbling. What happened? Dorothy. They say she found a way to come back to Oz. They say she seized power and the power went to her head. And now no one is safe. My name is Amy Gumm—and I'm the other girl from Kansas. I've been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked. I've been trained to fight. And I have a mission
