EL AMENAZADO Es el amor. Tendré que cultarme o que huir. Crecen los muros de su cárcel, como en un sueño atroz. La hermosa máscara ha cambiado, pero como siempre es la única. ¿De qué me servirán mis talismanes: el ejercicio de las letras, la vaga erudición, el aprendizaje de las palabras que usó el áspero Norte para cantar sus [...]

Ixtl al vongolave fer inte gnot cence cunfins. Il timp al lave indevant lent viers l’eternitât, il spazi al jere inscandaiabil e scûr. Traviers l’abìs, debilis maglis di lûs a cimiavin fredis viers di lui. Ogniune, Ixtl lu saveve, e jere in realtât une galassie di stelis vampantis che la grande distance e riduseve a un floc di fumate fosfaressent. [...]
Silly asses Naron of the long-lived Rigellian race was the fourth of his line to keep the galactic records. He had a large book which contained the list of the numerous races throughout the galaxies that had developed intelligence, and the much smaller book that listed those races that had reached maturity and had qualified for the Galactic Federation. In [...]

A son passâts une vore di agns, plens di vuere, e di chel che si use clamâ la Storie. Sburtât ca e là par sorte, no ai podût mantignî la promesse fate, lassantju, ai miei contadins, di tornâ fra di lôr, e no sai se e cuant che o podarai mai mantignîle. Ma, sierât intune stanzie e intun mont sierât, [...]
“Where do they all come from?” Reordon asked. “Everywhere,” said Carmack. They were standing on the coast highway. As far as they could see there was nothing but cars. Thousands of cars were jammed bumper to bumper and pressed side to side. The highway was solid with them. “There come some more,” said Carmack. The two policemen looked at the [...]
A volte il fare uno scherzo cattivo lascia un gusto amaro, e Pin si trova solo a girare nei vicoli, con tutti che gli gridano improperi e lo cacciano via. Si avrebbe voglia d’andare con una banda di compagni, allora, compagni cui spiegare il posto dove fanno il nido i ragni, o con cui fare battaglie con le canne, nel fossato. Ma [...]

Butterflies The Grandmother plaited her granddaughter’s hair and then she said, “Get your lunch. Put it in your bag. Get your apple. You come straight back after school, straight home here. Listen to the teacher,” she said. “Do what she say.” Her grandfather was out on the step. He walked down the path with her and out [...]
(Sentry, vueli su tele, László Mednyánszky) Sentry He was wet and muddy and hungry and cold and he was fifty thousand light-years from home. A strange blue sun gave light and the gravity, twice what he was used to, made every movement difficult. But in tens of thousands of years this part of war hadn’t changed. The flyboys were [...]
Начдив шесть донес о том, что Новоград-Волынск взят сегодня на рассвете. Штаб выступил из Крапивно, и наш обоз шумливым арьергардом растянулся по шоссе, идущему от Бреста до Варшавы и построенному на мужичьих костях Николаем Первым. Поля пурпурного мака цветут вокруг нас, полуденный ветер играет в желтеющей ржи, девственная гречиха встает на горизонте, как стена дальнего монастыря. Тихая Волынь изгибается, Волынь [...]
