Best Selling Books by Theodore Sturgeon

Nei suoi otto anni di vita Horty Bluett non ha mai conosciuto l''amore: i genitori adottivi sono violenti, i compagni di scuola crudeli. Così decide di scappare di casa, e si unisce a un luna park. Ma neppure lì è al sicuro, perché Horty non è un bambino come gli altri, ha delle facoltà speciali, e qualcuno vuole approfittarne... Il volume raccoglie The Dreaming Jewels, il capolavoro di Sturgeon, in una nuova traduzione, insieme ad altri romanzi e romanzi brevi ed è arricchito da uno scritto di Nicoletta Vallorani.

Pour Tousseul, idiot congénital et analphabète, la vie n''est qu''une fuite éperdue loin du regard des hommes. Il ne s''arrête que pour mendier ou dérober de la nourriture, avant de trouver un jour refuge au cour de la foret. C''est là qu''il va construire la plus étonnante famille qu''on puisse imaginer, avec un groupe d''enfants aux dons étranges.
