The Design Way: Intentional Change In An Unpredictable World: Foundations And Fundamentals Of Design Competence,Harold G. Nelson,4.25,Design,"First published January 1, 2003","Humans did not discover fire--they designed it. Design is not defined by software programs, blueprints, or font choice.

They offer not a recipe for design practice or theorizing but a formulation of design culture's fundamental core of ideas. These ideas--which form ""the design way""--are applicable to an infinite variety of design domains, from such traditional fields as architecture and graphic design to such nontraditional design areas as organizational, educational, interaction, and healthcare design.The text of this second edition is accompanied by new detailed images, ""schemas"" that visualize, conceptualize, and structure the authors' understanding of design inquiry.

Last Train To Clarkdale,Deirdre O'Dare,3.5,,"First published October 19, 2013","For Clay, always a shy misfit who was bullied at school, contact with the railroad and railroaders in the small town where he grew up was a lifeline. He went on to a career in the industry, although not out on the track. Now, some odd compulsion draws him back to his long-departed home, despite the painful memories he has of the place.A chance meeting with Jon, a famous world-traveling scenic and wildlife photographer, results from Clay’s impulse, and the men end up sharing an afternoon’s tourist rail trip. Clay develops an instant crush on the beefy man, but what can a geeky clerical-type rail-buff offer a hunk like Jon, a self-professed and footloose lone wolf? Can Clay be satisfied with a brief, hot vacation fling? Or can mutual interest in trains and photography provide enough common ground to form something more between them?

Forgotten to the Modern Era, only two individuals would document the existence of the Nåttfolk. The first was the socialite diarist W. Arthur Richardson, who described his encounters with J.S. Wehrlenau, a secretive German guest at an Adirondacks hotel during the winter of 1931. Fascinated with Wehrlenau’s knack for emanating memories, Richardson surmises the man’s true nature upon witnessing his abduction and transformation of a young Irish servant named Emily, and the extreme reaction of her husband Jack. The second encounter would come during the disenchanted summer of 1979, when a graduate student named Fran Avery would offer a ride to Emily wandering along a highway. Soon afterwards, Fran is ensnared in Emily's as well as Wehrlenau’s memories, glimpsing a legacy reaching back centuries to the first changelings in Medieval Scandinavia. Weeks later, Fran awakens to find herself changed – able to glean memory and experience, but also imbued with the predatory instincts of the Nåttfolk. Isolated in a mountain farmhouse under the watch of an elderly and monstrously embittered Jack, Fran attempts to transcend her nature by vicariously dwelling in the memories that have taken root within her. Over the next two decades, she ventures deep into the conscience of the Nåttfolk, as well as Jack’s own disastrous attempts to find redemption and catharsis. In turn, Fran bears witness to events ranging from the Enlightenment to the Holocaust, encountering all manner of fellow changelings – both mythic and mortal – before grasping the power of history in transforming human nature.",7

In Search of the Firedance: Spain Through Flamenco,James  Woodall,3.0,,"First published May 11, 1992","This book concentrates above all on flamenco's origins, from the deep south of Spain, Andalusia. Over the ages, the region has been submitted to a variety of influences - Roman, Visigothic, Arab, Jewish, finally Christian - and it was above all where the gypsies settled in the 15th century. Their origins are still mysterious, but there is no doubt that they injected into the indigenous musical culture of Andalusia their idiosyncratic mix of rhythm and song. In time, this became known as ""cante jondo"" - deep song. It was only in the 19th century that what we now recognize as flamenco evolved, and it has been evolving ever since. In the world eye, flamenco is dance, gypsy dance, and the 20th century has been largely beneficial to its development. With figures like La Argentina, Antonio and most recently Antonio Gades, flamenco dance has been in innovative hands; the underside, the cod flamenco of the ""costas"", is part of an altogether different story, also told here. The leading towns and cities - Seville, Granada, Jerez, Cadiz, not least of all Madrid - and the principal figures, past and present - Manuel Torre, Caracol, La Nina de los Peines, El Camaron, Paco de Lucia - are all profiled in this book. The author explains why flamenco has become so popular and reaches some conclusions about what constitutes its magic.",2

Annah,Clay Gilbert,4.7,,"First published October 15, 2013","When you can’t see yourself in the eyes of another, it’s not long before the face in your mirror looks like a stranger’s, too. It’s a truth more than one world has forgotten. In the century since the last Great War, a new technology called the Portal has placed the known universe at Earth’s doorstep. But with progress came the fear Earth’s new citizens might one day threaten the place of humankind on the planet. Annah is a seed-maiden of the world of Evohe; a world on the edge of the known Universe, who finds herself set apart from the rest of her race. Her blue eyes, golden hair and strange, slim form mark her as different, and her peculiar ideas about exploring the Sea of Stars beyond her world distance her even further. Too, she dreams of restoring the ancient faith of the Shapers to her world—a forgotten, forbidden path that her people believe led to the ruin of Evohe—but which they have found no way to replace. Annah aims to show them they are wrong, and to help her people find themselves, even if they shun her for it. It will take a chance meeting with a human man—one of the very people her kind fear most—to fulfill both her dream of finding a place to belong, and her dream of restoring her people to themselves. This is Annah's story. This is the story of her mate, Gary Holder. And this is the story of the Children of Evohe. The adventure begins now.",10

Nepal Votes for Peace,Bhojraj Pokharel,3.5,,"First published January 1, 2013","""Nepal has a long history of political struggle and popular uprisings have often threatened the existing regimes of this landlocked, predominantly Hindu state. In 1996, radical Maoists launched what would become the protracted armed struggle, known as The People’s War, with the aim of replacing the parliamentary system and the constitutional monarchy with a people’s republic. Thousands of people died and even more were injured over the next ten years in bitter fighting which ravaged the country and shocked the world. The gruesome murder of King Birendra, his wife and seven other royal family members in 2001 prompted more international concern about the future of Nepal. The violence eventually came to an end in 2005–2006 when the demand for a Constituent Assembly election was agreed upon. The election was finally held on 10 April 2008, marking one of the most significant events in Nepal’s political history because it abolished the country’s 239-year-old monarchy and established a multiparty democratic republic. This book, penned by the former Chief Election Commissioner of Nepal, narrates the country’s transformation from a kingdom to a multiparty democratic republic holding Constituent Assembly election. It also discusses the roles of national and international organizations, including the United Nations, in the ongoing peace process of Nepal.""",2

After a period of ambulance driving in the First World War with the French Army, he went to America to undertake important work as an unofficial liasion officer between the Government and Irish authorities there. In between the wars he saw much of Society, high and low, in London and Ireland. He has many stories about Winston Churchill whose cousin he was, his mother and Lady Randloph being sisters.

You know they don't exist, that you are making them up-- but if you ever get too certain of that, you'll lose the magic of creation. Think of the characters as unique, multifaceted people that you know only a bit about, and set out to discover everything else.If these characters were really real, you'd get acquainted in a variety of way, chief among them observation and conversation--watching and interviewing. I'm going to ask you to use these two techniques to discover -- to uncover-- one of your characters.In this booklet, there are three different Interview 1: Character/Plot Coherence, which looks at the requirements the plot places on the character. This is especially helpful if you're starting with a plot idea and need a character to fulfill it.Interview 2: Character In-depth, which examines in depth the values, perceptions, and skills of the character. This is especially helpful if you have a character in hand but want more information so you can build a plot.Interview 3: Family Dynamics, which builds some backstory for your character. This helps to provide a textured past and some understanding of how the character relates to others. If you are writing a family drama or saga, you might need this backstory to develop the interactions between the characters.I also include an example of a self-designed interview. Once you know your character well, you might need to discover character attitudes, responses, and values specific to your plot. That's when you can direct your own interrogation, designed for this particular character, complete with follow-up questions and cross-examination.

Fear. Worry. Discontent. No wonder we get so weary. We're worn out from carrying that excess baggage. Wouldn't it be nice to lose some of those bags?That's the invitation of Max Lucado. With the Twenty-third Psalm as our guide, let's release some of the burdens we were never intended to bear.Using these verses as a guide, Max Lucado walks us through a helpful inventory of our burdens. May God use this Psalm to remind you to release the burdens you were never meant to bear.","13,401"

"Sam, ispod šljive","Lazar Janić, Stevan Šarčević",5.0,,"First published September 1, 2013","Roman Sam, ispod šljive tandema Janić-Šarčević ubedljivo pokazuje zašto su u potpunoj zabludi svi koji smatraju da je vreme naučne fantastike nepovratno minulo. SF žanr i te kako ima još šta da kaže – ovoga puta na srpskom izvorniku... Zoran Živković Radnja romana nas vodi trista godina u budućnost, tačnije u 2311. godinu. Svet je isparčan na nekoliko velikih geopolitičkih celina, među kojima se po izuzetnom blagostanju ističe Evropa, jedinstvena republika naseljena jednim narodom. Njeni stanovnici žive gotovo isključivo u megalopolisima. Čak i ako nisu zaposleni, uživaju visoke apanaže koje im omogućavaju luksuzan život. Poslove koje niko ne želi, obavljaju roboti i dolpengengeri, beslovesna klonirana čovekolika bića upravljana sistemima iz gradova. Negde na granicama Evrope vode se ratovi, o kojima se uglavnom zna preko herojskih saga emitovanih kroz mas-medije, ali to je na margini interesovanja zadovoljnih Evropljana. U tom i takvom svetu, detektiv Milivoj Jovanović dobija zadatak da istraži krađu uređaja za putovanje kroz vreme, ali, takođe, i eliminiše kradljivca, nekadašnjeg agenta Međudimenzionalnog odseka (MDO) Anu Simonović, koja, izvesno, stoji iza zločina. Trag vodi van grada i on izlazi da bi otkrio da je svet mnogo drugačiji od onoga kakvim ga je zamišljao... Da stvari nisu onakve kakvim se izdaju, shvatiće ubrzo i drugi MDO agent, Aleksa Lakić, koji se otiskuje na vremensko putovanje u nameri da zaustavi odbeglu Anu Simonović, s kojom je bio u emotivnoj vezi. Velika jurnjava po vremenskoj osi, jurnjava u realnom vremenu, Kremansko proročanstvo i neočekivana otkrića smenjuju se bez ikakve kontrole. U vrtoglavoj akcionoj priči mešaju se likovi iz različitih epoha tokom gotovo 500 godina, a super-agenti, žrtve genetskih manipulacija i tehnologija budućnosti sukobljavaju se na čvornim vremenskim petljama sadašnjosti i alternativnih budućnosti. Dragoljub Igrošanac Jeste li leteli po vremenskim nitima tražeći prijatelje i neprijatelje?Jeste li se seksali sa podatnim klonovima koji su, možda, ljudska bića?Sigurni ste da je ova sadašnjost vaša, međutim u to veruje i vaša replika u nekoj drugačijoj sadašnjosti. Onda, koji ste to Vi: ovaj, onaj, ili oni tamo treći? Ili, četvrti...?Takva iskustva i saznanja nudi knjiga „Sam, ispod Šljive“ Stevana Šarčevića i Lazara Janića futuristički akcioni roman koji čitaoca ostavlja bez predaha. Ličnosti iz različitih vremena tokom 4-5 vekova, super-agenti, žrtve genetskih manipulacija i tehnologija budučnosti sukobljavaju se na čvornim vremenskim petljama sadašnjosti i alternativnih budućnosti nastalih zato što je Slobodan Milošević uspeo da izbegne rat.Roman čvrste kompozicije, ubrzane radnje i odsečnog, modernog stila koji odmah ulazi u samu srž događanja. Upečatljiva vizija sveta, Evropske unije i Srbije u mogućim budućnostima, nastalim na marginama „Kremanskog proročanstva“.Likove romana definišu ugrađeni implanti i ukrštaji superiornih gena, pojačavajući u njima ljubav i ljubomoru, zavist i osvetoljubljivost, seksualnost i perverznost, ali i neumornu akciju za prevlast na vremenskim čvorištima koja određuju moguće sadašnjosti i različite, zabrinjavajuće budućnosti.Dva autora usaglašenog stila u romanu uzbudljivog, atraktivnog sadržaja i ubrzane radnje, ono što najmanje očekujete pod setno-sentimentalnim naslovom „Sam, ispod šljive“.

Accepting the challenge of a future saint, he became not only a consolation to the Church but to the entire world.In the fall of 1958 as he approached his 77th birthday, he was elected Pope and took the name of John XXIII.John was his father's name.John the Baptist was one of his favorite saints.John was the most popular name taken by popes prior to the fifteenth century.St. John Lateran Bascilica is the mother church of the Diocese of Rome and there in respect to his own desire, he will be entombed.Selecting his name, John XXIII observed that former Popes of the same name reigned for only a short time. Advanced in years, young in spirit, he governed the Church less than five years. But within that time he became one of the most beloved, unique, and in a constructive way, revolutionary Popes in history.Within these pages is traced a portrait of this 'Master Bridge Builder' between God and Man, from his earliest years in Sotto il Monte to the Throne of Peter. Passages from his personal diary reveal his great heart, while excerpts from his encyclicals and addresses breathe of the wondrous optimism with which he approached the problems of our age.'Call Me John' is a book that will refresh and inspire every reader.""",3

Vaginoplasty: Sajak-Sajak Kelamin,Langit Amaravati,3.78,,"First published September 1, 2013","Tubuh kita menjelma gedung-gedung tua ketika hujan merangkak datang.tangan kita menadah sementara wajah tengadah.bibirku berpayung bibirmu. .....(Berpayung Bibirmu)  Tak ada kekasih yang paling setia bagi semua perempuan kecuali dirinya sendiri.  Ratna Ayu Budhiarti mengatakan bahwa puisi adalah satu-satunya yang paling setia menemani dalam detik sunyi. Saya mengatakan bahwa puisi adalah sahabat yang datang dari ketiadaan untuk menghapus kecamuk kepedihan dan kesunyian. Barangkali itulah fungsi puisi bagi para perempuan; kekasih sekaligus kawan yang tak pernah berkhianat atau melawan.  VAGINOPLASTY saya hadirkan ke tangan Anda bukan karena saya ini betulan penyair, tapi karena seperti yang pernah saya katakan, puisi ibarat kawan seperjalanan. Bukankah hidup membutuhkan penanda halaman agar kita masih bisa mengenang apa-apa yang sempat hilang dari ingatan? Maka VAGINOPLASTY adalah penanda halaman hidup saya, mungkin juga halaman hidup Anda.  Dee, dalam bukunya Supernova KPBJ pernah mengatakan bahwa individu hanyalah ilusi, kita semua adalah bagian dari jagat raya yang tersimpul dalam sebuah jaring laba-laba. Puisi memang digubah berdasarkan pengalaman empiris penulisnya, tetapi dimaknai oleh pengalaman dan wawasan pembacanya. Karena individu hanyalah ilusi, pengalaman saya, bisa jadi pengalaman Anda, begitu juga sebaliknya.  Jika Anda merasa sudah paham tentang cinta dan luka-lukanya, saya sarankan jangan pernah membeli atau membaca buku ini. Jika Anda sudah tahu posisi Anda dalam lingkaran asmara (tuan atau sahaya), buku ini tak akan pernah berguna. Tapi jika Anda masih sering bertanya mengenai parasit bernama cinta, VAGINOPLASTY menawarkan persepsi yang -mudah-mudahan- berbeda.  Selamat bergairah.

Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” is all the rage—the success of which a struggling poet like Frances Osgood can only dream. As a mother trying to support two young children after her husband’s cruel betrayal, Frances jumps at the chance to meet the illustrious Mr. Poe at a small literary gathering, if only to help her fledgling career.

What follows is a flirtation, then a seduction, then an illicit affair…and with each clandestine encounter, Frances finds herself falling slowly and inexorably under the spell of her mysterious, complicated lover. But when Edgar’s frail wife, Virginia, insists on befriending Frances as well, the relationship becomes as dark and twisted as one of Poe’s tales. And like those gothic heroines whose fates are forever sealed, Frances begins to fear that deceiving Mrs. Poe may be as impossible as cheating death itself… And don't miss the next captivating novel from Lynn Cullen—Twain’s End—where the acclaimed author tells a fictionalized imagining of the relationship between iconic author Mark Twain and his personal secretary, Isabel Lyon.","12,281"

Povestea târfelor mele triste,Gabriel García Márquez,3.58,Classics,"First published October 19, 2004","In anul in care am implinit nouazeci de ani, am vrut sa-mi daruiesc o noapte de dragoste nebuna cu o adolescenta fecioara.” Aceasta e fraza cu care debuteaza romanul lui Garcia-Marquez. Un ziarist batrin decide sa-si sarbatoreasca a 90-a aniversare in stil mare, oferindu-si un cadou care il va face sa simta ca traieste: o adolescenta virgina. Intr-un bordel dintr-un oras pictural, o vede pe copila din spate, complet dezbracata, si viata sa se schimba radical. Acum, ca o cunoaste, simte ca ar putea muri, nu de batrinete, ci de dragoste.„Povestea tirfelor mele triste” e povestea unui batrin singur si excentric, o naratie a aventurilor sexuale ale acestuia(nu putine, de altfel), aventuri pentru care intotdeauna a platit, ne??nchipuindu-si ca astfel va gasi vreodata dragostea adevarata.","91,093"
"The Ultimate Backup Guide: Saving, Syncing and Sharing Your Digital Life",Jeff Blum,3.5,,"First published October 5, 2013","You’ve probably been hearing a lot about data backup these days, thanks to the increasing popularity of services like Dropbox, Google Drive, Carbonite, Mozy, etc. This guide—the result of months of research and writing—will cover all of those and much more.While at first glance backup seems like a straightforward topic, it can be complicated by the following common situations:Having more data than you can fit on your computerUsing multiple computers that need access to the same filesMaking some files accessible on the Web for times when you can't use your own computerSyncing and accessing some files with your mobile devices (phones, tablets)Protecting yourself from a major system crash, theft or disasterKeeping copies of different versions of some filesSyncing or backing up only selected files instead of everythingMy goal is to help you understand everything you need to know about protecting your data with backups. I will also show you how to sync your files across all your computing devices and how to share selected files or collaborate with others.At its core, this is a technology guide, but securing your digital data is about more than just technology. Thus, I will provide a unique framework to help you organize and more easily work with your data. You will learn how to match different techniques to different data types and hopefully become more productive in the process.I have tried to make this guide complete, which means it must appeal to the tech-savvy and technophobe alike. Thus, you will read—in simple terms—about the different types of backup (full, incremental, differential, delta), cloud services, how to protect your files with encryption, the importance of file systems when working with different types of computers, permanently assigning drive letters to external drives, and other useful tips.In many sections of the guide I present a fairly complete listing of (mostly) free backup and syncing tools and services. I do this to be thorough and for those who may have special needs or an above-average interest in the topic. However, I recognize you will most likely be more interested in personal suggestions than a full listing of choices which will require time to investigate. Accordingly, I highlight the tools I have used and recommend. Moreover, I lay out my complete backup and syncing system, which you are free to copy if it suits you.Note: I am a Windows user and this bias shows in parts of the guide. Most of the concepts are independent of operating system, and many of the recommended programs are available for Macs as well as Windows, but some details (e.g., the discussion of Windows Libraries) and some highlighted software and services, are Windows-only. I think if you are a Mac user you are already used to this common bias, but I want to make it clear before you decide to read this guide.Special Presentation Note: I list potential programs and services alphabetically and in tables. I shade the tables for those that I think merit more consideration than the rest. Unfortunately, table presentation in older Kindle versions is quite difficult so if you are reading this on such a device you will see just a straightforward text-based presentation, though in many instances I also provide a link to view the table online.",2
Cel mai iubit dintre pămînteni,Marin Preda,4.44,Romanian Literature,"First published January 1, 1980","""Marin Preda a scris, în fond, un roman pe care n-aş putea să-l numesc altfel decât romanul unei mari conştiinţe. Conştiinţa, întâi, a unui mare prozator care judecă fără părtinire, fără mistificaţie (nici măcar aceea ce se bizuie pe un tiranic sentiment al justiţiei !), o istorie în care forţele se confruntă în chip dramatic; conştiinţa, apoi, a unui erou care crede în puterea spiritului şi în mitul fericirii prin dragoste. Destinul îl loveşte de mai multe ori, însă înfrângerile nu-l împing spre negaţia valorilor şi nu-i sălbăticesc sufletul. Victor Petrini atinge, într-o lume confuză, condiția tragicului, pentru că nu se îndoiește de puterea spiritului de a rămîne demn și necruțător în suferință. Iubirile și întîmplările absurde îl aruncă în brațele deznădejdii și ale oroarei, spiritul îi dă însă forța să treacă prin ele, nu netulburat (mit învechit al omului clasic), ci neliniștit și lucid, luciditatea fiind forma demnității sale."" - Eugen Simion",960
Bella di giorno,Joseph Kessel,3.65,Fiction,"First published January 1, 1928","Séverine Sérizy è una giovane ed elegante signora della medio-alta borghesia parigina. Sposata con un promettente chirurgo, conduce una vita agiata, vive in una bella casa e non ha preoccupazioni economiche. Tuttavia, non è felice. Forse a causa di un tentativo di violenza subita quando era piccola (ma di cui non conserva alcun ricordo cosciente), Séverine ha una vita sessuale problematica, tra frigidità e desideri al limite della perversione. Un giorno, durante una conversazione con l'amica Renée e con Husson, un conoscente di suo marito, scopre che una donna appartenente al loro stesso ambiente ha deciso di fare la prostituta in una casa d'appuntamenti in rue Virène. La notizia la turba e la intriga al tempo stesso. Come attirata da una forza irresistibile, Séverine si reca in rue Virène. Dopo un primo momento di naturale imbarazzo e dopo qualche indecisione, la giovane donna prende un impegno con la tenutaria Anaïs: incontrerà i clienti ogni pomeriggio dalle 14 alle 17. Visti i suoi orari, la sua nuova e inconsueta datrice di lavoro le affibbia il nomignolo di ""Bella di giorno"". Pomeriggio dopo pomeriggio prende forma la doppia vita di Séverine. Nel bordello di madame Anaïs c'è anche il tempo per scoprire cos'è la vera passione, quella che non aveva mai provato con il marito. A darle questa gioia ci pensa il giovane Marcel, un tipo losco che frequenta le ragazze di rue Virène solo quando ha qualche soldo in tasca. L'azzardo di vivere due esistenze parallele regge per un po' di tempo, ma tutte le precauzioni di Séverine vanno in briciole quando da madame Anaïs si presenta Husson. La segretezza sulla sua doppia vita si sgretola e Séverine, presa dal panico, non si presenta più in rue Virène. Ma fuggire non è sufficiente per riportare la sua vita a prima di quel giorno in cui aveva deciso di varcare la soglia della casa di appuntamenti.","1,664"

Collages,Anaïs Nin,3.85,Fiction,"First published January 1, 1964","Protagonisti di questo romanzo sono Renate, una pittrice, e Bruce, uno scrittore: due spiriti liberi, due amanti insoliti e solitari. Due compagni che un giorno decidono di partire e andarsene in giro per il mondo: Vienna, il Messico, la California, la Francia del Sud, l'Olanda, New York. Non c'è amore fra loro o forse sì, fatto sta che lungo la strada incontreranno altri amanti e altre storie, sentimenti, emozioni e bellezze che porteranno con sé con la leggerezza dei viaggiatori. Il loro viaggio è come un foglio bianco su cui man mano incollano i volti, le emozioni e le vite dei personaggi che incontrano sul loro cammino: un padre che crede di trovare nella figlia la moglie che non ha mai avuto (o che forse ha perduto molto presto), la moglie di un diplomatico che si innamora di un condottiero indiano vissuto oltre un centinaio di anni prima, pittori che cercano nelle figlie lo splendore delle donne dipinte d'oro, attrici pericolose, affascinanti e sincere come bambine, scrittrici che si nascondono dal mondo, cuochi artisti e molti altri. È un grande collage, appunto, dove pagina dopo pagina prende corpo la storia di un viaggio fatto di sentimenti e sensualità. L'intensità erotica della scrittura di Anaïs Nin è soffusa e affascinante, straordinaria nella sua raffinatezza, sempre in bilico tra la passione più incandescente e il disegno di un languore appena accennato. Peccaminosa come Henry Miller, elegante come D.H. Lawrence e Mary Gaitskill, Anaïs Nin firma un romanzo sensuale come Histoire d'O. Un racconto di formazione sentimentale in cui si mescolano il reportage bohémien e la scrittura più alta.","1,007"

Angelopolis,Danielle Trussoni,3.45,Fantasy,"First published March 26, 2013","Tíz év telt el azóta, hogy Evangeline a mennyei lant elpusztítása után angyallá változott. Tíz éve nem találkozott Verlaine-nel, aki tudományos pályáját hátrahagyva csatlakozott az angelológusokhoz, és az egyik legkiválóbb angyalvadásszá képezte át magát. Sorsuk ezúttal Párizsban keresztezi egymást, ahol Verlaine egy felismerhetetlenségig megcsonkított nefilim holttest mellett Evangeline iratait találja meg. De mielőtt fel­ocsúdhatna a sokkból, hogy élete szerelme meghalt, olyan eseménysorozat veszi kezdetét, amelynek végkimenetele az egész emberiség sorsát megváltoztathatja. Verlaine-t Moszkvába vezetik a nyomok, ahol az Ermitázs pincéjében évszázados titok tárul fel előtte. Fabergé legendás tojásai elvezetik a hírhedt Raszputyin rejtélyes albumához, amelyben megtaláljákNoé orvosságának titkos receptjét. Azt a receptet, amellyel talán sikerülhet megszabadítani a Földet a nefilimek jelentette átoktól.„Továbbá elmagyaráztuk betegségeiknek és csábításaiknak valamennyi gyógyszerét Noénak, hogy hogyan tudja azokat meggyógyítani a föld növényeivel. És Noé mindent leírt egy könyvbe az orvosságokkal kapcsolatban, ahogy utasítottuk. Így a gonosz szellemek meg lettek gátolva Noé fiainak bántalmazásában.”(Jubileumok könyve)Ezek az apokrif sorok vezérlik az Angelology - Az átok című nagysikerű könyv főhőseit a történet folytatásában. Az Angelopolis – Angyalok városa egyszerre érdekfeszítő regény és letehetetlenül izgalmas krimi. Az olvasó ezúttal is úgy érezheti, mintha egy nagyszabású időutazásra váltott volna jegyet, amelynek során eljuthat az Özönvíz utáni évszázadokba, találkozhat Noéval, megismerheti az utolsó orosz cár életét, megtudhatja, ki volt valójában Raszputyin, és hogy mit rejtenek a fagyos, szibériai hómezők.","4,491"

L'efficacité du contrat,Gwendoline Lardeux,0.0,,"First published January 1, 2011","Le contrat, acte de prévision, est censé assurer aux parties une certaine maîtrise de l’avenir. Cet atout est cependant soumis à une doublecondition tenant à l’effectivité et au respect des stipulations contractuelles.Lorsque le jeu contractuel se grippe, la tradition juridique françaiseimpose qu'il soit mené par le juge garant de justice et d'impartialité. Si de telles préoccupations sont évidemment légitimes, il faut convenir cependant que le caractère judiciaire des sanctions de l'inexécution contractuelle nuit à l'efficacité de la réalisation des droits nésdu contrat. C'est pourquoi, à l'inverse, l'analyse économique du droit, plus soucieuse d'une telle efficacité, prône la promotion des sanctions mises en œuvre unilatéralement par le créancier. Face à cette alternative, projets et avant-projets français et européens n'adoptent pas la même position. Il convient donc de vérifier, notamment à la lumière du droit prospectif, quels peuvent être à l'avenir les contours dudroit privé français des contrats, sommé de choisir entre efficacité juridique et efficacité économique du contrat.Le respect des prévisions des parties par le juge est l'autre aspect,plus classique, de l'efficacité du contrat, déclinée alors en termes de sécurité juridique. Il n'en est pas moins d'un intérêt pratique important, l'enjeu étant de contrôler l'aléa qui naît de l'intervention dujuge dans l'interprétation du contrat. L'état des lieux des pouvoirsjudiciaires de remise en cause du contrat amène ainsi à étudier la réaction des parties cherchant à les enserrer dans les limites de leur accord. Enfin, dans une optique de droit international, la question se pose de savoir si le recours à l'arbitrage se révèle plus sûr pour lesparties en permettant un meilleur respect des stipulations contractuelles.",0

THE ROAD MAP TO THE UNIVERSE,Robert Trainor,3.0,,"First published May 18, 2013","PLEASE THIS NOVEL CAN BE PURCHASED WITH FIVE OTHER NOVELS OF MINE FOR $1.49 AS PART OF AN ANTHOLOGY ENTITLED 6 COURTROOM DRAMAS. THE ROAD MAP TO THE UNIVERSE IS ALSO CONTAINED IN BOTH FOUR MURDER MYSTERIES AND EIGHT NOVELS--THESE TWO ANTHOLGIES BOTH SELL FOR $1.49. Who really murdered Karen Breen? Was it her son Jeremy, her husband Dana, or Shawn Evans, Jeremy’s former best friend? Jeremy, being only twenty-three, is a bit of a brat, but at least he’s an intellectual brat. It all started on that day when he was killing some time in the library and picked up a book called The Road Map to the Milky Way. As he was flipping through it in an aimless, sarcastic way, he stumbled onto a statistic that he would never Most astronomers felt that the universe contained at least two hundred billion galaxies and that the average size of each galaxy was two hundred billion stars. Whoa! Such a massive figure, but what did it really mean? For one thing, it meant that he had no significance at all and that his disappearance from the earth would have no effect on the universe. Depressed, Jeremy walked outside the library and rolled himself a joint. Might as well chill out and try to face the facts. That’s when it hit him—since everything was insignificant, it didn’t matter what he did. What difference did it make? In a million years, everything would be exactly the same—the galaxies would stroll on with their never ending waves of annihilation, and nothing he or anyone else did would have the slightest effect. Very exhilarating! Because it meant that it was impossible to make a mistake and that choices were just bad jokes from the ego. But things become a bit complicated when Jeremy’s mother is murdered and his father is convicted of the crime. Still, the misfortunes of his father don’t really affect Jeremy because all the guy had ever done was fool around with other women behind his mother’s back. As for the loss of his mother, Jeremy just can’t be bothered with all the trite manifestations of grief that people feel compelled to go through when someone dies—as if death were some tragedy that only happens to a few unlucky souls. But a year later, when Shawn Evans tells the police that Jeremy was the one who murdered his mother, it’s difficult for Jeremy not to begin to take things seriously. And afterwards, when Jeremy is indicted and then brought to trial, his theoretical universe of two hundred billion galaxies begins to shrink all the way down to the woeful confines of his own mind where he has to grapple with the fear of being sent to prison for the rest of his life. Very annoying, if not downright infuriating! During his time in court, Jeremy loses his metaphysical cool and not only attempts to physically attack Shawn but also amuses himself by mocking the judge. As is often the case, it’s not very smart to defy people in authority, and Jeremy is convicted of first degree murder. But then, while the jury is being polled, an extraordinary revelation occurs—in fact, in the annals of courtroom history, it is probably a premiere. Amazingly, this courtroom revelation seems to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Jeremy’s underlying belief system has some real potential. Because, in the end, it appears that even the murder of Jeremy’s mother is just one more example of people being seduced by a mirage, one more example that everything we experience is based on the self-aggrandizing perceptions of the ego. As Jeremy is laughing at the judge and the prosecuting attorney, he remembers reading about the ancient notion that the sun orbits around the earth, and it strikes him that the belief in significance, any significance, is simply a symptom arising out of the peculiar notion that the entire universe revolves around",5

Created in the 1960s, The Party takes place in the Hamptons. It's attended by captains of industry, tycoons, magnates, moguls, and various undistinguishable fat cats, luxuriating in their tuxedos, evening gowns, and prattling small talk. The depiction of one grotesquerie after another ― often couples ― cavorting through the haze of booze and caviar, with the occasional wanton display of sybaritically libidinal impulse. Ungerer accompanies each full-page image with a hilarious, hand-lettered caption, which provides the characters' names and a brief deadpan description of their social standings, creating a dissonance between image and text.

第七天,Yu Hua,3.97,Fiction,"First published June 1, 2013",余华，杭州生，海盐长，行医5年，弃医从文。著有《活着》、《兄弟》、《许三观卖血记》、《在细雨中呼喊》等作，被翻译为20多种文字，在近30个国家出版。 余华的《第七天》，比《兄弟》更荒诞，比《活着》更绝望，这是一个残酷而温暖的故事。独家试读：浓雾弥漫之时，我走出了出租屋，在空虚混沌的城市里孑孓而行。我要去的地方名叫殡仪馆，这是它现在的名字，它过去的名字叫火葬场。我得到一个通知，让我早晨九点之前赶到殡仪馆，我的火化时间预约在九点半。昨夜响了一宵倒塌的声音，轰然声连接着轰然声，仿佛一幢一幢房屋疲惫不堪之后躺下了。我在持续的轰然声里似睡非睡，天亮后打开屋门时轰然声突然消失，我开门的动作似乎是关上轰然声的开关。随后看到门上贴着这张通知我去殡仪馆火化的纸条，上面的字在雾中湿润模糊，还有两张纸条是十多天前贴上去的，通知我去缴纳电费和水费。我出门时浓雾锁住了这个城市的容貌，这个城市失去了白昼和黑夜，失去了早晨和晚上。我走向公交车站，一些人影在我面前倏忽间出现，又倏忽间消失。我小心翼翼走了一段路程，一个像是站牌的东西挡住了我，仿佛是从地里突然生长出来。我想上面应该有一些数字，如果有203，就是我要坐的那一路公交车。我看不清楚上面的数字，举起右手去擦拭，仍然看不清楚。我揉擦起了自己的眼睛，好像看见上面的203，我知道这里就是公交车站。奇怪的感觉出现了，我的右眼还在原来的地方，左眼外移到颧骨的位置。接着我感到鼻子旁边好像挂着什么，下巴下面也好像挂着什么，我伸手去摸，发现鼻子旁边的就是鼻子，下巴下面的就是下巴，它们在我的脸上转移了。浓雾里影影幢幢，我听到活生生的声音此起彼伏，犹如波动之水。我虚无缥缈地站在这里，等待203 路公交车。听到很多汽车碰撞的声响接踵而来，浓雾湿透我的眼睛，我什么也没有看见，只听到连串车祸聚集起来的声响。一辆轿车从雾里冲出来，与我擦肩而去，冲向一堆活生生的声音，那些声音顷刻爆炸了，如同沸腾之水。我继续站立，继续等待。过了一会儿，我心想这里发生大面积的车祸， 203 路公交车不会来了，我应该走到下一个车站。我向前走去，湿漉漉的眼睛看到了雪花，在浓雾里纷纷扬扬出来时恍若光芒出来了，飘落在脸上，脸庞有些温暖了。我站住脚，低头打量它们如何飘落在身上，衣服在雪花里逐渐清晰起来。我意识到这是一个重要的日子：我死去的第一天。可是我没有净身，也没有穿上殓衣，只是穿着平常的衣服，还有外面这件陈旧臃肿的棉大衣，就走向殡仪馆。我为自己的冒失感到羞愧，于是转身往回走去。飘落的雪花让这个城市有了一些光芒，浓雾似乎慢慢卸妆了，我在行走里隐约看见街上来往的行人和车辆。我走回到刚才的公交车站，一片狼藉的景象出现在眼前，二十多辆汽车横七竖八堵住了街道，还有警车和救护车；一些人躺在地上，另一些人被从变形的车厢里拖出来；有些人在呻吟，有些人在哭泣，有些人无声无息。这是刚才车祸发生的地点，我停留一下，这次确切看清了站牌上的203。我穿越了过去。我回到出租屋，脱下身上不合时宜的衣服，光溜溜走到水槽旁边，拧开水龙头，用手掌接水给自己净身时看到身上有一些伤口。裂开的伤口涂满尘土，里面有碎石子和木头刺，我小心翼翼把它们剔除出去。这时候放在床上枕头旁边的手机响了，我感到奇怪，因为欠费已被停机两个月，现在它突然响了。我拿起手机，摁了一下接听键，小声说：“喂。”电话那头传来一个声音：“你是杨飞吗？”“是我。”“我是殡仪馆的，你到哪里了？”“我在家里。”“在家里干什么？”“我在净身。”“都快九点钟了，还在净身？”我不安地说：“我马上来。”“快点来，带上你的预约号。”“预约号在哪里？”“贴在你的门上。”对方挂断电话。我心里有些不快，这种事情还要催促？我放下电话，继续清洗身上的伤口。我找来一只碗，用碗接水后冲刷那些残留在伤口里的碎石子和木头刺，清洗速度加快了。净身之后，我湿漉漉走到衣柜那里，打开柜门寻找我的殓衣。里面没有殓衣，只有一身绸缎的白色睡衣像是殓衣，上面有着隐隐约约的印花图案，胸口用红线绣上的“李青”两字已经褪色，这是那段短暂婚姻留下的痕迹。我当时的妻子李青在商店里精心挑选了两套中式对襟睡衣，她在自己的睡衣胸口绣上我的名字，在我的睡衣胸口绣上她的名字。那段婚姻结束之后，我没再穿过它，现在我穿上了，感到这白色的绸缎睡衣有着雪花一样温暖的颜色。我打开屋门，仔细辨认贴在门上的殡仪馆通知，上面有一个“A3”，心想这就是预约号。我将通知摘下来，折叠后小心放入睡衣口袋。我准备走去时觉得缺少了什么，站在飘扬的雪花里思忖片刻，想起来了，是黑纱。我孤苦伶仃，没有人会来悼念我，只能自己悼念自己。我返回出租屋，在衣柜里寻找黑布。寻找了很久，没有黑布，只有一件黑色的衬衣，因为陈旧，黑色已经趋向灰黑色。我没有其他的选择，只能剪下它的一截袖管，套在左手的白色袖管上。虽然自我悼念的装束美中不足，我已经心满意足。我的手机又响了。“杨飞吗？”“是我。”“我是殡仪馆的，”声音问，“你想不想烧啊？”我迟疑了一下说：“想烧。”“都九点半了，你迟到啦。”“这种事情也有迟到？”我小心问。“想烧就快点来。”,"3,856"

"Detox, Big Time! 11 guidlines for Boundless health. Fatigue, pain, weight problems...STOP.",Caroline Benson,3.5,,"First published September 6, 2013","Librarian's note: This is an alternate cover edition for ASIN B00F1I95WA.Why a detox diet is an essential solution against the outside aggressions of the modern world filled with stress and pollution ?Health: it is a question of choice ! Whether you want: - An accessible and efficient diet to boost your immune system on a long term basis. - To lose weight in a healthy way, by taking away pain. In this guidebook you will find a simple and sound method to get you started. The ancients knew that it was good to regularly purify oneself by dieting or fasting. The religions have even made this one of their cornerstones. But what is left of it today? Nowadays however, more than any other time, our bodies are subject to constant aggressions found in the air, water, and food, as well as on a psychological level (repeated stress). Our bodies endlessly accumulate toxins, without being able to eliminate them….or not sufficiently. And if this generalized ""clogging"" would be the well-known breeding-ground of our civilization’s disease? This is a plausible hypothesis that has been taken over by more and more doctors and researchers from all the countries; they have been alarmed by the exponential expansion of this scourge. The Spring diet is a well-known diet and certainly the most efficient detox diet. This will be partly covered in this book. Needless to say, the practice of cellular detoxination needs to be integrated in our daily lives. This is what this book has to offer: a healthy and efficient detox method, that is adjustable to your liking and to the different seasons. This detox diet is based on cutting-edge research on nutrition, and is natural and accessible to all. Other things you will find in this book, amongst other things:What foods to avoid or to treat yourself with?The huge benefit of food rotation (this is a key element for having a healthy and anti-inflammatory diet).What is the best water that ""cleanses"" your body, and how to obtain it.How to eliminate stress in 3 minutes ( a not well-known method even though it has been proven scientifically for its benefits).The most useful and accessible supplements ( to regenerate the liver, kidneys and intestines and other).A recap chart is presented at the end of this book with numerous examples of recipes and food rotations…Caroline Benson gives you her knowledge and her 15 year experience and research in nutrition and health. This book is an all inclusive manual of well- being at a price of a coffee….. The preface is written by Christine Van Hoof, a dietician and coach.

O pintor flamengo Van Eyck havia entendido a sua essência como ninguém e pintado as linhas do seu rosto e o seu caráter, em dois quadros distintos, para mostrar ao noivo Filipe III, duque da Borgonha. Um feito de luzes, outro feito de sombras. Isabel, tal como a sua mãe, D. Filipa de Lencastre, casava tarde. E a ideia de deixar Portugal, o pai envelhecido, os cinco irmãos em constante desacordo, e Lopo, irmão de leite e melhor amigo, para partir para um país longínquo e gelado atormentava-lhe o coração. Era a terceira mulher de Filipe, já duas vezes viúvo, esperava vir a dar-lhe o herdeiro legítimo de que Borgonha tanto precisava. A sua fama de mulherengo atravessava fronteiras… Mas Isabel sabia que nascera para cumprir um destino, ser a Estrela do Norte, que firme no céu indica o caminho. Saberia mudá-lo, torná-lo num homem diferente, acreditava Isabel. Na manga levava um trunfo que apenas partilhava com o seu irmão Henrique e com o seu fiel Lopo, na esperança de se tornar senão amada, pelo menos indispensável. Mas ao longo da sua vida, as sombras foram ganhando terreno e os acontecimentos precipitaram-se numa espiral que Isabel não conseguia travar, e de que apenas o seu filho a podia salvar.

Dead Reckoning,K.A. Perkins,3.97,Pirates,"First published January 1, 2012","#1 Bestseller - Sea Adventures - UK Dead Reckoning is a historical adventure of piracy, love and revenge in the Caribbean in the seventeenth century. Leo is born in Spanish Panama in 1659. When he is twelve years old he witnesses the violent rape and murder of his mother by three of the Caribbean’s most feared pirates: Tarr, Blake and Hornigold, and swears revenge at all costs. Gabriella is trapped in an abusive marriage to a ruthless Dutch slave trader, who is in business with the same English cut-throats. She risks all to escape with her life. Leo and Gabriella meet aboard one of the most horrific ships in the Caribbean – a slaver – and join forces against their common enemy. They face a number of challenges as they battle not only the dangers of a life at sea, including storm, drowning, and being cast adrift in a crippled ship, but also repeated attacks by Blake and Hornigold. But their biggest threat proves to be each other. Can they reconcile their hearts in time for the fiercest battle in their quest of revenge, and survive the gallows? Dead Reckoning was long-listed in the 2011 Mslexia Novel Competition. ""Wow, what a fantastic story. It's a swashbuckler with a sweeping narrative, full of sea battles, drama, revenge, and love"" ""Ms. Perkins is a sensational storyteller, knowing how to grab your attention, and hold onto you throughout"" ""This is an epic pirate adventure, that is wrought with romance, anguish, fighting and revenge. I was immediately drawn into the story of both Leo and Gabrielle, and fell in-love with both their horrific stories. Their lives eventually collide together and so begins a romance like no other."" ""So enraptured with this story and its characters that I be became a little lost within it's pages"". ""K. A. Perkins takes romance, adventure and historical fractions to create a splendid tale."" ""Some might say that it's a Bernard Cornwell type tale of adventure on the high seas, but it is much more than that. Rather than painting pirates as the swashbuckling adventurers that some authors do, Perkins portrays them as they truly were - violent, bloodthirsty, predators. That credibility is a large part of Dead Reckonings charm"" ""Dead Reckoning is an excellent read and I look forward to reading the other books in Ms. Perkins’ series"" ""Dead Reckoning is not a fast read. It is a deeply involving kind of story. One must give it full attention to get the span of the plot and appreciate the different characters. There are different plot lines that blend into the story, each one driving the story forward toward a satisfying finish."" ""I have not read the first book in this series but this book was a stand alone adventure which really took my interest. The writing is very stylish and the pace and characterisation are good. It is an exciting historical tale played out in the Caribbean on land and at sea. The story has obviously been researched very well and gives you a feeling of authenticity in the facts and places, the ports and the mixtures of peoples. There are life or death battles and romance throughout the book and you will be laughing and also moved to tears in parts. The two heroes, Leo and Gabriella have overcome very difficult traumatic beginnings which they manage to overcome, and grow in character as the story moves forward.""",121

Bell αποτελεί την περισσότερο ολοκληρωμένη -και, ταυτόχρονα, σύγχρονη- απόδοση της ευρύτερης συζήτησης για τα αίτια του Δευτέρου Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου στην Ευρώπη. Εξετάζει τη διάρθρωση και τις αδυναμίες του διεθνούς συστήματος με το 1919, το ρόλο της ιδεολογίας (φασισμός - ναζισμός - κομμουνισμός - δυτική δημοκρατία), τις οικονομικές εξελίξεις των μεγάλων δυνάμεων, την επιρροή των προσωπικοτήτων -κυρίως του Χίτλερ και του Μουσσολίνι. Επιπρόσθετα, παραθέτει με τρόπο συνοπτικό αλλά και ολοκληρωμένο τις εξελίξεις των κρίσιμων ετών 1932 - 1941: την άνοδο του ναζισμού, τη σταδιακή κατάρρευση του status quo που είχε διαμορφωθεί με τη Συνθήκη των Βερσαλλιών, τις διαδοχικές διεθνείς κρίσεις της δεκαετίας του 1930 - Αβησσυνία, στρατιωτικοποίηση της Ρηνανίας, Ισπανικός Εμφύλιος Πόλεμος, Αυστρία, Τσεχοσλοβακία, Πολωνία, γενίκευση του πολέμου. Ιδιαίτερα ασχολείται με το τραύμα που προκάλεσε στη δυτική πολιτική σκέψη η εγκατάλειψη της Τσεχοσλοβακίας στις ορέξεις του Χίτλερ κατά την περιβόητη συνδιάσκεψη του Μονάχου, το φθινόπωρο του 1938 - θέμα που και σήμερα συζητείται στη δυτική επιστήμη, αλλά και στη διεθνή πολιτική, με τη χρήση του φορτισμένου όρου ""κατευνασμός"". Η ανάλυση δεν σταματά στο 1939, αλλά εκτείνεται έως το 1941, για να περιλάβει τη συζήτηση σχετικά με τα αίτια της επίθεσης της Γερμανίας εναντίον της ΕΣΣΔ.Το έργο του P.M.H. Bell, ένα από τα δημοφιλέστερα βιβλία της παγκόσμιας ιστορικής βιβλιογραφίας, προσφέρει μία γλαφυρή και συνεκτική σύνοψη των παραγόντων που οδήγησαν στο μεγαλύτερο πόλεμο της ιστορίας. Λειτουργεί, ταυτόχρονα, ως ιστορία της Ευρώπης κατά την περίοδο μεταξύ των δύο Παγκοσμίων Πολέμων, ενώ ενσωματώνει και έναν ευρύτερο προβληματισμό για το γενικότερο φαινόμενο του πολέμου και των αιτίων του.",97

Karavin'in zamanla hesaplaşması, anlatıcının kendi altbenliğiyle çatışması, Gordostol sakinlerinin herbirine ayrı bir düş kurduran soygun projesi bu karşı-roman'da birleşiyor. Afife, Sarı Tilki Jack Bell, Seyid Ali, Bektaşi Sırrı, Rojda, Ahfeş ve bu masalın tüm diğer kahramanları, hayatlarına ve ölümlerine yazarın zihninde devam ederlerken, Mesih bize Galatı Aşk'ta bir perde aralıyor, seyreylesin gözler diye temaşayı... Bu seyirlik öykü, aynı zamanda, Karavin'in dünya haline bakışı, Doğu'yla Batı'yı sorgulayışıdır, yazarın deyişiyle, ""ne kadar Marlene Dietrich ise bir o kadar da Gülşen Bubikoğlu'dur."" ""Ceziret'ül-Hadra surlarını aydınlatan o yalabıklar, Endülüs'ten Rönesans'a sütunlarda, kemerlerde, kubbelerde bırakacağı silinmez izler misali, Frenklerin düşlerinde, zihinlerinde, eserlerinde insanlığı aydınlatacak, gel gör ki kendilerini ışıyamayacak o ışık olacaktı.

O manual para a vida: Encheiridion de Epicteto,Epictetus,4.24,Philosophy,"First published January 1, 125","""Este é um livro de autoajuda?""Sabemos do costumeiro preconceito e descrédito do meio literário para com os livros de autoajuda. Porém isto também se deve, em grande parte, aos próprios escritores de autoajuda, que em sua maioria optam em seguir por “caminhos fáceis”, evitando tocar no cerne da questão – o autoconhecimento.Se analisarmos os livros de autoajuda produzidos hoje no mundo, encontraremos basicamente duas categorias. Uma delas nos diz assim: “Tudo é possível! Basta desejar profundamente que irá conseguir!”; Já a outra se ocupa de nos consolar quando não temos sucesso em “conseguir tudo”, e nos sentimos um lixo.Há, portanto, uma clara correlação entre uma sociedade que nos anuncia por todos os cantos da cidade que podemos conseguir tudo o que quisermos, a e existência da chamada baixa autoestima.Antigamente uma pessoa pobre era chamada desafortunada. Hoje, criamos uma alcunha um tanto mais cruel: perdedora. Hoje os anúncios nos dizem que somos nós quem estamos no comando, e não os deuses. Se não temos sucesso, a culpa é nossa – perdemos.Mas é aqui que entra a filosofia. A filosofia é a verdadeira autoajuda, o verdadeiro autoconhecimento, o verdadeiro amor ao saber.Segundo Epicteto e os estoicos, devemos ter sempre em mente os infortúnios da vida, e o conhecimento de que há coisas que estão sob nosso controle, e outras que não estão. Somente assim saberemos que podemos sim perder, mas que não somos perdedores. E, da mesma forma, também saberemos que podemos sim ganhar, mas que não somos ganhadores.Somente com este desapego aos anúncios da cidade grande é que teremos enfim o tempo e a disposição de olhar para dentro, e nos conhecer. Se isto é autoajuda? Certamente – autoajuda da melhor espécie!Com vocês, o manual para a vida, o Enchiridion de Epicteto...O editor.***[número de páginas] Equivalente a aproximadamente 55 págs. de um livro impresso (tamanho A5).[sumário, com índice ativo]- Prefácio- Enchiridion de Epicteto- Apêndice (incluí trechos do Diatribes de Epicteto)","28,521"

Dvylika,Justin Cronin,4.03,Horror,"First published October 16, 2012","Pasaulio pabaiga tebuvo pradžia. Tarptautiniu mastu populiariame ir kritikų išliaupsintame romane „Perėja“ Justinas Croninas sukūrė nepamirštamą pasaulį, kurį transformavo katastrofiškai užsibaigęs valdžios eksperimentas. Naujos epinės, dar platesnio užmojo ir intensyvesnės istorijos įvykiai rutuliojasi dideliu greičiu... Šiais laikais per žmogaus sukeltą apokalipsę chaoso apimtame krašte klaidžioja trys nepažįstamieji. Lailą, gydytoją ir būsimą motiną, taip sukrėtė smurto bei infekcijos proveržis, kad ji tebeplanuoja vaiko gimimą ir nekreipia dėmesio į žlungančią visuomenę. Kitridžui, pasauliui žinomam kaip „Paskutinysis Iš Denverio“, tenka sprukti iš savo tvirtovės, ir jis leidžiasi į kelią bėgdamas nuo apkrėstųjų, ginkluotas bet vienišas, puikiai suvokdamas, kad vienu degalų baku toli nenuvažiuos. Paauglė vardu Balandė stengiasi išvesti brolį iš vietovių, kuriose viešpatauja mirtis ir pragaištis. Tiems trims paaiškės, kad jie nėra visiškai apleisti ir kad tarpusavio ryšiai kursto viltis netgi tamsiausią naktį.  Po šimtmečio Eimė ir kiti kovoja dėl žmonijos išgelbėjimo... nežinodami, kad taisyklės pasikeitė. Priešas evoliucionavo, ir užgimė nauja, slegianti santvarka, kurios ateities vizija neapsakomai baisesnė negu žmonių išnykimas.

The Novice,Harlem Dae,3.89,BDSM,"First published July 19, 2013","London – one meeting, one month of lessons and a landslide of new desires. My journey to hell started with a decaff coffee. Nothing more than a grey mug full of dull-brown liquid devoid of its most useful ingredient. One sip, one smile, one touch of her hand and it was soon clear my life wasn’t destined to stay dull. Oh, no, suddenly I had a month of bedroom education planned by a sultry vixen who intended to broaden my horizons beyond my usual peach-pink palette. She wanted to take me to deep purples and navy blues and the pitch blackness that was pure sin. And on the other side of that blackness was a place that might look like Hell, with debauchery and wantonness, people playing devil’s advocate, luring innocents into the hotter, steamier corners of the world. Her world. Oh, yes, she promised each night to take me there and paint me an orange-and-red picture that would come alive, flickering like flames, enticing me, holding me spellbound and eager to learn more. To touch, explore, drown in coming. And drown I would. I was no match for her tricks and taunts. My only chance of survival was to show her that I wasn't vanilla. I had a rainbow of mastery up my sleeve, too, and if she just opened her eyes, she might be dazzled enough to stay—stay and take ‘my’ lessons. If she didn’t kill me first, that was, with pleasure. Please note The Novice (newly titled) is book #1 in a series intended for adults (Sexy as Hell) and is best read in order.

Lord of the Flies,William Golding,3.7,Fiction,"First published September 17, 1954","At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate; this far from civilization the boys can do anything they want. Anything. They attempt to forge their own society, failing, however, in the face of terror, sin and evil. And as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far from reality as the hope of being rescued. Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse, Lord of the Flies is perhaps our most memorable tale about “the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart.”","3,004,519"

My Billionaire,M.J. Bradley,3.9,,"First published October 18, 2013","Jason sat in his chair and looked out the window – and watched as bright yellow sun streamed in, dusty and somehow alluring. He had opened the window a few hours ago. He hadn’t wanted to, but he’d felt like he had to. He hadn’t left his room in a week – except to eat and use the toilet – and he was starting to feel like some kind of sub-human, something out of a horror film. Was he a creep? When he had first thought it he’d found the notion ludicrous. How could he be a creep? He was in love, and, what was more important, his beloved loved him back. No – there was nothing creepy about love. It was pure, special – it was worth more than anything on the planet. That was what he told himself, anyway. Then he looked at his wall. There were hundreds of pictures on it, overlapping each other and curling at the corners and falling to the floor. At first, when he’d been adding to it constantly, he’d thought it was sweet – he’d imagined showing Molly, and smiled as he imagined her face lighting up. “This is gorgeous,” she would say, and then she would kiss him. Now, though, he wasn’t so sure – was it sweet, or was it odd? Perhaps it was the ritual of it he had liked, finding the picture and printing it out and sticking it to the wall – now it was done, and he had found every picture he was likely to find, he didn’t know how he felt about it. It was undoubtedly lovely to look at – it had to be, because it was Molly – but that was all. It didn’t fill him with the same awe it once had.",21

My Billionaire,M.J. Bradley,3.36,,"First published October 18, 2013","Book 1 Description He was tall with long, black hair. He wore a suit, and he wore it well – it was tight-fitting and hugged his lithe body. He was talking heatedly with another man in a suit near a door marked “employees only.” As Molly watched he laughed and patted the other man on the shoulder, and then turned and made to walk away – but then he caught her eye. She suppressed a squeal – she didn’t know why, but she would have squealed if she hadn’t made the conscious effort to stop it – and looked away. She felt more than heard his presence behind her, and her whole body froze. She felt like a shadow had just descended on the entire aisle. Who was this man and why was he standing behind her? She suppressed the urge to turn around. She didn’t know why but the idea of turning around was terrifying to her. Well, she did know why – he was incredibly attractive and he was close to her. She wasn’t very good with attractive men. She wasn’t very good with men in general. Finally she heard him – heavy breathing, in and out, slow, rugged breaths. Book 2 DescriptionJason watched in confusion and horror as Molly walked away with the mysterious man – the man who had come out nowhere and then talked to her for a couple of moments and then made her disappear. Who the hell was he, and why the hell was Molly going away with him? That was what Jason kept wondering, over and over again. The man had seemed good-looking and tall, with a suit and the facial hair that girls seemed to like, but he was far too old for her.He sped up now and tried to catch her eye – she was facing the other way, already disappearing into the car park. She got into a car with tinted windows and sped off. Jason ran forward, towards the car, stretching his arms out as if he could stop it – then the car sped off down the road with a screech and was gone. Jason sighed and rubbed at his forehead. He looked to the side. A bird watched from a tree, its eyes intently focused on the scene as if savoring Jason’s pain. He picked up a stone and threw it at it and it flew away.Book 3 Description Jason sat in his chair and looked out the window – and watched as bright yellow sun streamed in, dusty and somehow alluring. He had opened the window a few hours ago. He hadn’t wanted to, but he’d felt like he had to. He hadn’t left his room in a week – except to eat and use the toilet – and he was starting to feel like some kind of sub-human, something out of a horror film. Was he a creep? When he had first thought it he’d found the notion ludicrous. How could he be a creep? He was in love, and, what was more important, his beloved loved him back. No – there was nothing creepy about love. It was pure, special – it was worth more than anything on the planet. That was what he told himself, anyway. Then he looked at his wall. There were hundreds of pictures on it, overlapping each other and curling at the corners and falling to the floor. At first, when he’d been adding to it constantly, he’d thought it was sweet – he’d imagined showing Molly, and smiled as he imagined her face lighting up. “This is gorgeous,” she would say, and then she would kiss him. Now, though, he wasn’t so sure – was it sweet, or was it odd? Perhaps it was the ritual of it he had liked, finding the picture and printing it out and sticking it to the wall – now it was done, and he had found every picture he was likely to find, he didn’t know how he felt about it. It was undoubtedly lovely to look at – it had to be, because it was Molly – but that was all. It didn’t fill him with the same awe it once had.",11

اليماني: القصة من الداخل,Jeffrey Robinson,3.9,Politics,"First published March 15, 1988","For over two decades, Sheikh Ahmed Zaki Yamani was one of the most famous, most recognizable and most powerful men on earth. As the petroleum minister for Saudi Arabia and the leading force behind OPEC, he was the biggest player in the world's biggest business - oil.His is a story of ultimate political power, of the Middle East, of the ""oil weapon"" and the embargoes, of a brilliant young Saudi lawyer who emerged from the desert sands to walk comfortably through the halls of power in Washington DC, in London, in Paris, and throughout much of the rest of the world.It is also the story of a man who, in 1975, faced sudden death not once but twice. His mentor and lifelong support, the legendary King Faisal, was shot dead at his feet; and nine months later Yamani himself was kidnapped by the terrorist who was known as, ""Carlos the Jackal,"" only narrowly escaping with his life.Co-starring Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, Margaret Thatcher, Yassir Arafat, Saddam Hussein, Colonel Qaddafi, Jimmy Carter, the CIA, the Shah of Iran, Ronald Reagan and Nat King Cole, this is the up close and personal story of a man who strode across the world's stage a superstar in the media, was heralded as ""the best friend the West had in the Middle East,"" and yet became the face of the oil embargoes that threatened to cripple Western economies.A brilliant and enormously charming man who could move markets with a few simple words, Sheikh Yamani earned the respect of political leaders in the West while suffering the jealousy of kings and princes back home. His sudden and abrupt firing in October 1986 made front page headlines throughout the world.Written in 1988 with the unprecedented cooperation of Sheikh Yamani - meeting with him regularly over the course of a year in five countries - plus hundreds of interviews with the people who knew him best, Jeffrey Robinson's gripping and intimate account opens a door to the very heart of one of the world's most controversial and fascinating statesmen.Heralded in the West as ""the best book ever written about the oil business,"" and banned in Saudi Arabia when it was first published, this #1 international bestseller is now, finally, available as an eBook for the first time.*** ""A sizzler"" - Today*** ""Bestselling writer Jeffrey Robinson has taken the lid off Yamani's life"" - Sunday Express*** ""Rich in entertaining anecdote"" - Financial Times*** ""Superb"" - The Sunday Times*** ""Robinson provides the reader with a portrait of a man who, while claiming he was nothing more than a simple Bedouin, became a deft politician and media personality indelibly associated in the public mind with the rise in OPEC economic power and Saudi Arabia's leading position in global oil production"" - Washington Report*** ""In crisp, straightforward sentences, Robinson describes how Ahmed Zaki Yamani's close relationship with King Faisal, and his own urbane intelligence, made him the dominant industry figure worldwide"" - Publishers Weekly*** ""Yamani emerges from the book as a man of intelligence and charm, deeply devoted to his family and his Muslim faith, who rose from a Mecca boyhood to become a jet-setting world figure and custodian of one-third of the non-communist world's oil"" - Houston Post*** ""Riveting, fast paced"" - Globe and Mail*** ""Robinson weaves a fascinating tale"" - San Francisco Chronicle*** ""A colorful, well rounded biography."" - Philadelphia Inquirer*** ""Oil gagsters were referring to the hot book as ""the OPEC version of the Andy Warhol Diaries"" - Liz Smith*** ""A Fascinating portrait of this master politician"" - Wall Street Journal",119

The Full Rights of Sons,Kathryn E. Stegall,4.36,,"First published August 12, 2013","The Full Rights of Sons demonstrates that long-established principles of the orthodox and reformed Christian faith widely accepted rules for interpreting the Scriptures, basic Bible knowledge, and a common sense understanding of language all affirm the equality of men and women in the church, family, and society as a presuppositional, all-pervasive, and overt teaching of The Holy Bible. The Full Rights of Sons is firmly built upon the historic Christian faith taught by the apostles, prophets, and early church fathers, affirmed by the reformers and those today who hold the Holy Scriptures to be the authoritative and living word of God, all founded upon the chief cornerstone of the church, Christ Jesus Himself. (Eph. 2:20) ""Proves again that a high view of Scripture entails a high view of women."" Gilbert Bilezikian ""A truly radical book. . . . that gets to 'the root' of a matter."" John H.

An Englishman in Colombia,David      Wood,2.5,,"First published August 1, 2013","Murder, cocaine, street mugging, bombs and aggressive Amazonian Indians combined with exotic beach resorts and colourful characters make David Wood’s book on Colombia an interesting and adventurous look at the most dangerous and alluring country in Latin America.David portrays the capital Bogotá as a mixture of colourful street people merging with a vibrant culture. The author’s travels in Colombia bring him into contact with many different characters and he outlines the problems experienced in a city characterized by the great contrast of wealth and poverty and the influence of the cocaine business.From detailed personal accounts of incidents such as street muggings, a bomb explosion in central Bogotá and the blowing up of an aircraft by the drug cartels which results in the death of his business partner, David draws us into the heart of this compelling country. The author gives clear descriptions of life in places like the Sierra Nevada Mountains where he climbs to the lost city of the Tairona Indians and experiences the culture of the Indian tribes. He also considers the history and culture of cities like Cartagena with its colonial heritage.The book portrays Colombia as a land of great contrasts, beauty and vibrancy contrasted with excessive violence, poverty and crime. The result is a shocking and intimate reflection of life in Colombia today.",2

Как предавали Россию,Nikolai Starikov,3.0,,"Published January 1, 2010","Почему Россия сейчас одинока на политической арене? Почему ее всегда, независимо от общественного строя и режима правления, в чем-нибудь обвиняют? Как нашей стране строить свою политику в подобной ситуации?Николай Стариков, автор бестселлеров «Ликвидация России», «Кто заставил Гитлера напасть на Сталина?», «Кризис. Как это делается», «Шерше ля нефть», убедительно доказывает, что политические союзы оказывали губительное влияние на нашу историю. Так было по крайней мере на протяжении 300 лет, когда у руля российского государства стояла династия Романовых. Так было и при правительстве Керенского, и в Гражданскую междоусобицу, когда страны Антанты, делая вид, что помогают белым, фактически их предавали. Так было и в период страшной войны с германским фашизмом, специально выращенным в английской «пробирке» на погибель нашему государству.В ответ на предательство Россия продолжала воевать и помогать, спасать и создавать, оплачивая эти подарки кровью своих сыновей. Не пора ли разорвать этот порочный круг? Ведь друзей у России нет не потому, что мы отсталые и убогие, а потому, что мы большие и сильные. У Китая тоже союзников нет…Книга ранее выходила под названием «Преданная Россия».",7

Il discorso come forma di vita,Giuseppe Mininni,2.0,,"First published September 1, 2003","Le pratiche discorsive sono una delle caratteristiche che distinguono la specie Homo Sapiens. Esse realizzano la forma di vita propria della mente umana che costantemente si industria di attribuire significato a ciò che avviene. Nei discorsi le persone svolgono una complessa e inarrestabile attività di costruzione che fa da sfondo alle mille condotte della vita quotidiana e consente loro di accedere in modo parziale e provvisorio a mondi comuni di riferimento. I discorsi producono un senso di controllo sulla realtà, perchè forgiano sia i modelli di interazione con l'immagine di Sé che adottiamo nella nostra esistenza. L'adesione a tale prospettiva di ""Costruzionismo Sociale"" delinea un particolare percorso di ricerca nell'ambito della psicologia della comunicazione noto come Analisi Critica del Discorso, che mira a valorizzare le istanze di rinnovamento sollevate dall'epistemologia post-moderna. Le prove a sostegno di tale impianto teorico sono fornite dall'analisi dei seguenti universi di discorso ad alta rilevanza psicosociale: i rischi di patologia evidenziabili nel dialogo interiore, i modi di esprimere l'esperienza scolastica, i modi di dirsi della solidarietà nella associazioni di volontariato e le fini retoriche che hanno reso plausibili il lavoro flessibile. Gli strumenti interpretativi adoperati delineano un ""approccio diatestuale"", cioè uno stile metodologico che fa leva sulla trama narrativa e argomentativa intrinseca a ogni testo. La forma di vita resa disponibile dai discorsi consente quell'incontro fragile tra soggetti attivi che gli esseri umani realizzano ogni qualvolta posso agire insieme come enunciatori di significato.",2

Erfindet euch neu!: Eine Liebeserklärung an die vernetzte Generation,Michel Serres,3.24,Philosophy,"First published January 1, 2012","Die Welt hat sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten rasend schnell verändert: Die Weltbevölkerung und die Lebenserwartung steigen; traditionelle Großkollektive wie Nationen, Konfessionen und Parteien verlieren an Bindekraft; Wissen, das früher in Bibliotheken gespeichert war und mühsam erworben werden musste, steht uns heute überall zur Verfügung. Der Wandel hat längst ein solches Ausmaß erreicht, dass wir laut Michel Serres mit Fug und Recht davon sprechen können, dass die Angehörigen der jungen Generationen einer anderen Spezies angehören: jener der »kleinen Däumlinge«, die mit flinken Fingern ihre Smartphones steuern, sich vernetzen und kommunizieren. Den »kleinen Däumlingen« widmet der große Philosoph Michel Serres diese Liebeserklärung. Fern von jeder technikfeindlichen Kulturkritik fordert er sie auf, ihre Chance zu nutzen und alles neu zu erfinden: die Gesellschaft, das Bildungssystem – und sich selbst.",926
Il filo di Cloe,Nicoletta Bortolotti,3.4,,"First published March 1, 2007","La famiglia Mulinonero è una famiglia come tante. La sua storia minore s'intreccia con fantasia e umorismo alla storia maggiore dell'Italia contemporanea. Padre informatico disoccupato alla perenne ricerca di un fantomatico posto di lavoro (nonostante la ""leggera"" ripresa); madre con contratto a progetto al sempiterno inseguimento di un'improbabile assunzione (nonostante la legge Biagi); il figlio Lorenzo, detto GD (il Grande Diplodoco), un vecchio di quattro anni che non mangia i pesci con la testa e la figlia Cloe, undici mesi, una settimana e tre ore, voce narrante senza parole. A lei, dio ingenuo e profetico, il compito di tessere la verità con i fili della menzogna. Un racconto coinvolgente, tra il coraggio e l'incertezza, tra gli incandescenti binari delle Ferrovie Nord e gli infiniti campi di mais di un hinterland milanese, dove nelle villette a schiera ci sono padri a schiera, madri a schiera e figli a schiera. E dove gli adulti, nonostante i divorzi, la disoccupazione e la Cina che avanza, verranno salvati, con un finale inatteso, dai bambini. Pagine finemente illustrate che trasfigurano l'amarezza del quotidiano con ironica saggezza e poetica lievità.",5

Saying Goodbye,Megan Hender,4.2,,"First published March 1, 2004","Discussing illness and death makes most of us uncomfortable - we don't know what to say to people who are looking after a sick parent, child or partner, and so we cover our discomfort with euphemisms and averted eyes. Yet people in this situation need to talk honestly about their feelings of confusion, loss, anger and sadness. That is where this book will prove invaluable. It enables people to recognise themselves in the stories of others, to know that they are not alone, and that all their feelings and experiences are valid. Saying Goodbyealso shows that being with or looking after someone who is dying, can be an unexpectedly fulfilling experience, full of love, insight, inspiration and peace. The eleven stories in this book are from spouses and lovers, children and parents; they are incredibly candid, moving and life-affirming. The love and courage that both the carers and the cared-for display in these pages will stay with readers long after they have finished the book.",5
The Southern Poetry Anthology: Volume VI: Tennessee,William   Wright,4.83,Poetry,"First published September 11, 2013","The state of Tennessee is widely recognized as a home of great music, and its geographic regions are as distinct as Memphis blues, Nashville country, and Bristol old-time sounds. Tennessee’s literary heritage offers equal variety and quality, as home to the Fugitive Agrarian Poets, as well as a signature voice from the Black Arts Movement. Few states present such a multicultural panorama as does the Volunteer State. The poems in The Southern Poetry Anthology, Volume VI: Tennessee engage the storied histories, diverse cultures, and vibrant rural and urban landscapes of the region. Among the more than 120 poets represented are Pulitzer and Bollingen Prize-winner Charles Wright, Brittingham Award-winner Lynn Powell, and Agnes Lynch Starrett Prize-winners Rick Hilles and Arthur Smith. The book includes an introduction from renowned poet Jeff Daniel Marion, who in 1978 received the first literary fellowship from the Tennessee Arts Commission. Too, the book celebrates relatively young and gifted voices. This important anthology will stand for many years as the definitive poetic document for the state of Tennessee. Conceived by Series Editor William Wright in 2003, The Southern Poetry Anthology is a multivolume project celebrating established and emerging poets of the American South. Inspired by single-volume anthologies such as Leon Stokesbury’s The Made Thing, Gil Allen’s A Ninety-Six Sampler, and Guy Owen and Mary C. Williams’ Contemporary Southern Poetry: an Anthology, The Southern Poetry Anthology aspires to provide readers with a documentary-like survey of the best poetry being written in the American South at the present moment. Published exclusively by Texas Review Press, the series provides the most comprehensive representation of Southern poets currently available and is currently being used in university classrooms across the South.",18

Die historiese gebeure wat in hierdie roman as agtergrond en basis gebruik word, is 'n fassinerende, merkwaardige en tot dusver onontginde stuk geskiedenis in Afrikaans.

Anhand brisanter, teils unveröffentlichter Dokumente charakterisiert er ein System, in dem nicht Recht und Ordnung, sondern Skrupellosigkeit und persönliche Interessen das Handeln bestimmen. – Eine Lektüre, bei der jedem Demokraten die Haare zu Berge stehen.Als Ministerialrat und zeitweise oberster Steuerfahnder in Bayern hat Wilhelm Schlötterer jahrzehntelang aus nächster Nähe feststellen können, dass die Politik von Strauß und seinen Nachfolgern geprägt ist von Korruption, Mobbing, Strafvereitelung und Begünstigung auf Kosten des Staates. Mit seinem Bestseller »Macht und Missbrauch« hat er eine Lawine losgetreten. Denn in der Folge wurden ihm immer neue brisante Informationen über Missstände zugespielt, die er detailreich mit Fakten belegt. Schlötterer beschreibt unter anderem, wie ein bekannter Gastronom durch gute Beziehungen zur Politik seine Steuerschuld von 100 auf drei Millionen reduzieren konnte, wie Spitzen aus Wirtschaft und Politik beim Flug nach Zürich über vorteilhafte Geldanlagen in der Schweiz diskutierten und wie gut situierte Steuerhinterzieher vor pflichtbewussten Finanzbeamten in Schutz genommen werden.",4

Povídky jsou určené náctiletým čtenářům, všechny příběhy se odehrávají v současném světě. Opravdu, zdá se, že všechno, o čem lekavé povídky vyprávějí, se skutečně mohlo stát:Chi chi chi - možná vůbec netušíte, co se může skrývat v trubkách pod vanou snad v každé koupelně…Polichinello - i historická loutka může mít mouchy, možná je za staletí pěkně mstivá a zlá za všechna příkoří, která se jí stala.Za zdí - v novém bytě (ale nejen tam) můžete narazit na nečekanou potíž - propadnete se do meziprostoru, odkud není cesty ven.Ukradené duše - na válečném poli se nábojnice nesbírají, duše mrtvých vás pak jistojistě navštíví…Noční bojovka - taková prima noční akce na letním táboře se může proměnit v děsivou noční můru.Operátor - není radno odpovídat na lákavé nabídky mobilních operátorů, nepřečíst si řádně její podmínky, pak můžete zaplatit i daň nejvyšší…Živý plot - zdalipak víte, jak moc živý je živý plot a co vlastně jí?Všechno zlé je pro něco dobré - v den, kdy naděluje Mikuláš s čerty a andělem, nemusí jít jen o příjemné večerní strašení, může totiž jít přímo o život!Vlasy, vlasy, kolik je vás asi - krutý příběh jedné slečny, kterou souží podivný cizí pramen, který znenadání začne růst v její vlastní kštici.Dobrou noc, paní knihovnice - není dobré zůstávat v knihovně po jejím uzavření, některým knižním hrdinům by se to nemuselo líbit…Markéta byla rychlejší - vyvolávání duchů může být lákavé, ale někdy se to vymkne a je průšvih na světě.Poslední metro - někdy máme strach z těch, co chtějí pomoci a naopak - raději necestujte posledním metrem v téměř prázdném vagoně, nevíte, s kým jedete!Návrat do tmy - mít nad druhým moc, uvést ho do hypnotického stavu a nechat ho plnit rozličné úkoly - to by možná chtěl umět každý. Ale co když se hypnóza nepovede?Večírek ve dvou - ne vždy nás rodiče ochrání tím, že nás zamknou doma, v bezpečí.

Sir John Woodroffe Tantra e Bengala: Un’anima indiana in un corpo europeo?,Kathleen Taylor,4.67,,"First published August 24, 2001","Con un saggio introduttivo di Marcello De Martino e scritti inediti di Evola e Woodroffe-Avalon.Lavorando a stretto contatto con i suoi mentori bengalesi, specialmente con il suo amico A. B. Ghose, sir John Woodroffe divenne l’orientalista Arthur Avalon, pseudonimo con cui egli si rese famoso per i suoi studi tantrici agli inizi del XX secolo. Universalmente conosciuto per “Il Potere del Serpente”, il libro che introdusse il kundalini yoga in Occidente, Avalon cambiò l’immagine del tantra da quella di un disprezzato culto magico in quella di una raffinata filosofia che accrebbe molto il prestigio del pensiero indù nelle successive generazioni di occidentali.Questo studio biografico si divide in due parti. La prima si concentra sull’identità sociale di Woodroffe a Calcutta messa sullo sfondo del colonialismo e nazionalismo, il contesto culturale in cui egli “era” Arthur Avalon.La seconda parte analizza il personale rapporto di Avalon con il sanscrito e i testi indiani, e rileva il suo frequente ricorrere a fonti secondarie, a Ghose e ad altri eruditi indiani. Infine si esaminano i motivi apologetici con cui Woodroffe e i suoi collaboratori resero il Tantra prima accettabile, poi alla moda.",3

Il bordo vertiginoso delle cose,Gianrico Carofiglio,3.64,Fiction,"First published October 16, 2013","Un caffè al bar, una notizia di cronaca nera sul giornale, un nome che riaffiora dal passato e toglie il respiro. Enrico Vallesi è un uomo tradito dal successo del suo primo romanzo, intrappolato in un destino paradossale, che ha il sapore amaro delle occasioni mancate. Arriva però il giorno in cui sottrarsi al confronto con la memoria non è più possibile. Enrico decide allora di salire su un treno e tornare nella città dove è cresciuto, e dalla quale è scappato molti anni prima. Comincia in questo modo un avvincente viaggio di riscoperta attraverso i ricordi di un’adolescenza inquieta, in bilico fra rabbia e tenerezza. Un tempo fragile, struggente e violento segnato dall’amore per Celeste, giovane e luminosa supplente di filosofia, e dalla pericolosa attrazione per Salvatore, compagno di classe già adulto ed esperto della vita, anche nei suoi aspetti più feroci. Con una scrittura lieve e tagliente, con un ritmo che non lascia tregua, Gianrico Carofiglio ci guida fra le storie e nella psicologia dei personaggi, indaga le crepe dell’esistenza, evoca, nella banalità del quotidiano, “quel senso di straniamento che ci prende quando viaggiamo per terre sconosciute e lontane”. Romanzo di formazione alla vita e alla violenza, racconto sulla passione per le idee e per le parole, storia d’amore, implacabile riflessione sulla natura sfuggente del successo e del fallimento, Il bordo vertiginoso delle cose può essere letto in molti modi. Ma tutti riconducono a un punto preciso, a una sorta di luogo geometrico dell’anima in cui si incontrano la dolcezza e la brutalità, il desiderio e la paura, la sconfitta e l’inattesa, emozionante opportunità di ricominciare.","1,805"

Hanif Kureishi torna, in anteprima mondiale, con una commedia sentimentale agrodolce, dove mette a nudo, come solo lui sa fare, i sentimenti umani, i vizi (molti) e le virtù (poche) di una bella famiglia.","1,142"

Βία και πονηριά. Άντρες και γυναίκες σ' ένα ελληνικό χωριό,Μαρί-Ελιζαμπέτ Αντμάν,0.0,,"First published January 1, 1987","Το χωριό δεν είναι και δεν υπήρξε ποτέ ένα ειρηνικό λιμάνι για τους μόνιμους κατοίκους του. Μια συμπληρωματική απόδειξη γι' αυτό αποτελεί το μικρό ελληνικό χωριό που συνήθως βρίσκεται σε κατάσταση διάλυσης.Το ξεχωριστό σ' ένα παρόμοιο χωριό είναι ότι η βία δεν έχει, όπως στις άλλες μεσογειακές περιοχές, τη μορφή του εγκλήματος τιμής ή της βεντέτας. Κρυμμένη από τα μάτια του κόσμου, σαν να ντρέπεται, είναι παντού διάχυτη. Ασκείται τόσο στα παιδιά, όσο και στις γυναίκες και στους άντρες. Είναι ένα μέσο διαπαιδαγώγησης και, παρόλο που συνεχώς αποδοκιμάζεται, θεωρείται αξίωμα στο σύστημα των κανόνων που διέπουν τη ζωή του χωριού. Η αντιφατικότητα αυτών των κανόνων αποτελεί μια απότις αιτίες της βίας και ταυτόχρονα μια από τις πηγές της πονηρίας που καθένας είναι υποχρεωμένος να χρησιμοποιεί για να επιβιώσει.Άλλη αιτία βίας είναι η έλλειψη σεβασμού προς το νόμο λόγω της απουσίας ενός εθιμικού δικαίου που θα ρύθμιζε οριστικά τις κληρονομιές. Ο μόνος εν χρήσει νόμος είναι η πατρική διαιτησία που συνδέεται με την αντρική κυριαρχία.Η Μαρί-Ελιζαμπέτ Αντμάν αναλύει τις εκδηλώσεις αυτής της κυριαρχίας ως τις παραμικρότερες λεπτομέρειές της –στην καθημερινότητα, στις σχέσεις με τους άλλους, στις σχέσεις ανάμεσα στις οικογένειες– πραγματοποιώντας έτσι μια έρευνα στον τομέα της κοινωνικής ανθρωπολογίας που αποτελεί προσφορά.",0

This revised edition includes as appendices a select collation of the texts of 1818 and 1831 together with 'A Fragment' by Lord Byron and Dr John Polidori's 'The Vampyre: A Tale'.","1,682,617"

Don Quijotes Erben. Die Kunst des europäischen Romans.,Jürgen Wertheimer,4.33,,"First published July 1, 2013","Tausend Seiten Ausnahmezustand. Tausend Seiten Abenteuer: das ist der Stoff, aus dem die frühen Romane sind. Jürgen Wertheimer zeigt anschaulich, wie wichtig das Genre des Romans heute ist. Der opulente Band lädt in diese abenteuerliche Welt ein und wird selbst zu einem Roman über Romane. Mit einer großen Auswahl an schönen Zitaten und nachvollziehbaren gut lesbaren Interpretationen bringt Wertheimer seinen Lesern bekannte Romane nahe. Nach Letüre dieses Buchs haben Sie das Gefühl, alle die anderen auch gelesen zu haben! Illustriert ist der Band mit Manuskriptseiten, Handschriften und Illustrationen aus Originalausgaben. Der Autor erzählt mit scharfem Blick auf Zeitgeschichte, immer in Bezug zur Gegenwart. Und von großen Emotionen. Auch in späteren Jahrhunderten zeigt sich der subversive Grund aller Romane: Die Helden reiten oder stolpern von Beginn an ins Abseits. Der große Roman ist das Genre der Verlierer, Versager und Gescheiterten. Was im Alltag bisweilen gerade noch einigermaßen undramatisch endet und versickert, wird im Roman gnadenlos zu Ende gedacht. Romane übersetzen latent spürbare Strukturen in körperlich erfahrbare Wirklichkeiten. Anschaulich wird in diesen Buch auch, wie wichtig in einer Zeit immer stärker werdenden Sucht und Suche nach simpler Orientierung und klaren Unterscheidungen das per se wahrnehmungsästhetisch verantwortungsfreie Genre des Romans ist.",3

Prisoners of the Peloponnesian War,Debra Hamel,4.0,,"First published January 1, 2013","The Peloponnesian War was fought between Athens and Sparta from 431 to 404 B.C. It was a long, brutal conflict that ended with the defeat and humiliation of the Athenians: the Long Walls that connected their city to its harbor were torn down to the music of flute-girls while the enemy rejoiced. During the twenty-eight years of the war, cities loyal to both sides were razed, the lives of the men, women, and children within surrendered to the mercy of their armor-clad victors. Combatants were captured as well, those lucky warriors who escaped death on the battlefield but who, hindered by the weight of their shields and slipping in the muck of blood and churned-up earth, could not outrun the enemy. ""Prisoners of the Peloponnesian War"" takes a look at what became of the combatants and noncombatants who were captured during the war—whether they were executed or imprisoned, for example, enslaved or ransomed. The article also considers the means by which prisoners of war sometimes regained their freedom after a period of captivity.

The murder, however, is not nearly as straightforward as it seems—nor is the theft.Though the island of Manhattan presents no shortage of suspects—many of them capable of killing to satisfy their appetites—Eliot, a young economic historian and writer, soon becomes the prime suspect. As he draws closer to the truth behind the theft and murder, he also becomes the killer’s next target.Irreverent, provocative, and utterly unpredictable, Dangerous Illusions is a weeklong polyrhythmic journey into contemporary New York that will keep readers guessing right up to its thrilling conclusion.",188

The Story of You and Me,Pamela DuMond,3.74,New Adult,"First published October 20, 2013","How far would you go to save someone you loved? My name's Sophie and I’m nineteen-years-old. I planned on college, keggers, and cute frat guys—not MS. I told a few people, but they started treating me differently, so now I keep it secret. I probably have many more years to live with this disease, but my grandmother does not. So I traveled thousands of miles to L.A. to look for healing: stem cell studies, acupuncture, shamanic vision quests. Some therapies were dangerous, but I’d try anything. I’d risk it all because I was fighting for our lives—but I didn’t have the luxury of dating, let alone falling in love. My first night in L.A. I landed in the middle of a campus bar fight. The most beautiful man I’d ever met, Alejandro, a complete stranger, rescued me. He took me to the ER, drove me to my new home, and even washed my beer-drenched hair. On my second day I got lost in a dicey part of town and was attacked by gang-bangers. I escaped—this time. So I hired Alejandro to drive me to my appointments; be my bodyguard. He made me laugh again. He sheltered me. My heart started cracking open… I wish I had told him my secret. When I discovered—he hadn't yet told me his...",303

Jacqueline Kennedy: First Lady In Courage,Nancy Nahra,3.24,,"First published January 1, 2012","At different moments in her life, Jacqueline Kennedy was the most famous woman in the world, yet chose to keep some of her most distinctive qualities well protected from public view, including her exceptional intelligence. From experience she learned how to have a private life in the public eye: many of its inhabitants did find the White House to be the goldfish bowl that Jackie dreaded before her briefer-than-expected time living there. What surprised me in doing the research for this compact biography was Jacqueline Kennedy's very developed sense of history. Her work -- and it was work, including research of her own -- in restoring the White House, rather than just redecorating it, showed a no-nonsense idea of America's past and the crucial place of the White House in it. (When the British wanted to insult the country symbolically in the War of 1812, they understood what the White House stood for, and burned it.) After she survived sitting next to the bullet that killed the President of the United States and her husband, she insisted on working closely with journalists and historians to set down an eyewitness record of the important White House era she lived through, years when the Berlin Wall went up; days of the superpower standoff of the Cuban missile crisis. More surprises yet in her energetic life after the White House. In those years her education and her lively intellectual curiosity kept providing her with reasons to remain engaged. Her wealth and status offered other opportunities that she avoided: the opportunity for nothing but leisure, a way of life that she worked hard to avoid, and that she avoided by working h",21

Then they asked him his name, age and marital status. Yes, that seemed normal enough---but what was this talk about ""death trauma""?Thus was Thomas Blaine introduced to the year 2110, where science had discovered the technique of transferring a man's consciousness from one body to another. Where a man's mind could be snatched from the past, when his body was at the point of death, and brought forward into a ""host body"" in this fantastic future world. But that was only a small part of it. For the future had proved the reality of life after death, and discovered worlds beyond or simultaneous with our own---worlds where, through scientific techniques, a man could live again, in another body, when he died here. And in the process, the reality of ghosts, poltergeists, and zombies was also established. What did it all mean? How had this discovery of what they called the ""hereafter"" shaped the world of 2110?

American Legends: The Life of John Adams,Charles River Editors,4.0,History,"First published August 2, 2012","*Includes several letters written by Abigail Adams, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.*Includes pictures of Adams and important people, places, and events in his life.*Includes a Bibliography for further reading.*Includes a Table of Contents.""A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.” – John AdamsA lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history’s most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors’ American Legends series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of America’s most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known.John Adams has become one of the more popular presidents in history relatively recently, but it was not always so. For most of his life he was seen as a bit of an outsider, different from his fellow first presidents in his temperament, birth, life and politics. Adams and his son were the only presidents out of the first seven who were born north of the Mason Dixon line, and he was not an easy man to understand or work with. Not only did he have few friends, but he also often fell into long term quarrels with those he had.Politically, Adams shared Washington’s preference for Britain as well as his preference of non-interference. However, while he was certainly the more significant man in his work and his governing, he could never seem to move out of Washington’s shadow. Even worse, his presidency was seen as threatening to the very essence of American liberty with the Alien and Sedition Acts, and his loss to Jefferson in 1800 was a repudiation of the Federalists that left Jeffersonians in power until John Quincy Adams was elected in 1824. His presidency is still viewed relatively unfavorably.Adams remained a celebrated figure in Boston for all the work he did in Massachusetts before and after the Revolution, but his national reputation has experienced quite a renaissance over the past decade, beginning with David Mccullough’s best selling biography in 2001, followed in 2008 by the popular HBO series based on it. Then, in 2010, Dearest Friend, a record of the correspondence between Adams and his wife Abigail solidified his position as one of the most darling Founding Fathers of the 21st Century.Several factors explain the recent boost to his legacy. First, unlike Washington or Jefferson, Adams was not a cultural icon. Therefore, Americans have had more to learn about his life and work, whereas recent historical findings about men like Jefferson are either anti-climatic or disappointing. Moreover, Adams and his son are the only two of the first 10 presidents not to have owned slaves, making it easier and more politically correct to like them. Finally, the extensive letters that passed between him and Abigail have cast him as a romantic figure in a way that few other presidents enjoy.American Legends: The Life of John Adams chronicles the amazing life and work of one of America’s Founding Fathers, but it humanizes the man who could be both mercurial and tender. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events in her life, you will learn about John Adams like you never have before, in no time at all.",4

The Religious History of Marietta in the Nineteenth Century,Thomas Jefferson Summers,0.0,,"Published January 29, 2012","This book was written by a Congregational minister at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. It covers the time from the founding of Marietta, Ohio, to about 1900. While the religious history of Marietta from that time forward is not unimportant, it follows the earlier patterns of unfolding. The historical failings of Christ’s church in Marietta can be more clearly seen and understood with the perspective that historical reflection provides. The closer to our own time we get, the more difficult it is to see past our own presuppositions and prejudices. So, I have chosen to focus on the Nineteenth Century in the hope of making certain problems and issues regarding American Christianity and the religious history of Marietta more clear.",0

De dromenwever,Douwe Draaisma,3.55,Psychology,"First published October 1, 2013","Sommige delen van ons brein moeten waken terwijl we slapen. Ze beginnen vreemde verhalen te spinnen. Je moet een examen over doen waar je al lang geleden voor geslaagd bent. Je rent naar treinen die je niet haalt. Je ontmoet mensen die niet meer leven. Je staat opeens naakt tussen je collega's. De meeste verhalen vervliegen bij het wakker worden. Wat blijft zijn de vragen. Waarom accepteer je in je droom bizarre situaties als volkomen vanzelfsprekend? Hoe ontstaat de sensatie van vliegen in dromen? Bestaan voorspellende dromen? Hoe ontstaan erotische dromen? Of lucide dromen? Dromen we in zwart-wit of kleur? Hoe zien dromen van blinden eruit? En natuurlijk de moeilijkste vraag: betekenen dromen iets? Zeggen ze iets over de dromer? Wat hebben psychologie en neurologie de afgelopen halve eeuw opgehelderd over ons nachtleven?Met De dromenwever betreedt Douwe Draaisma opnieuw de menselijke piste vol wilde verhalen, steigerende nachtmerries en ijzingwekkende mentale acrobatiek. Vastberaden doorkruist hij de droomlandschappen van zweefdromers, blinde en lucide dromers; feiten over erotische, profetische en examendromen dromen scheidt hij moeiteloos van overspannen ficties. Ook het innerlijkst van het autobiografische droomleven onderzoekt en analyseert hij met wetenschappelijke acribie en pertinentie, maar nooit zonder open oog te houden voor de verhalende kracht van dromen en dromers. Wat we over dromen zeker willen weten is nu beschreven in De dromenwever.",148

Moviegirl,Clare Naylor,3.54,Chick Lit,,"If contemporary fiction has one thing to teach us, it's that working for the rich and glamorous is a living hell. This simple truth has already been revealed by such books as The Nanny Diaries and The Devil Wears Prada, but for those who feel that the message bears repeating, Clare Naylor and Mimi Hare's The Second Assistant: Tales from the Bottom of the Hollywood Ladder offers yet another enjoyable (though fairly forgettable) lesson. The heroine of this gossipy tale is Elizabeth Miller, a young, former campaign worker for a US congressman who finds herself between employment opportunities. Unable to obtain any more socially responsible work, Lizzie is lured into the job of second assistant to an executive at a glitzy Hollywood agency. Once there, she's hit with all the ""pick-up my dry cleaning,"" ""walk my dog,"" ""hire strippers for my party"" torment that the higher-ups can dish out. At first Elizabeth is isolated, out-of-place, and underdressed in her new world, but she makes friends, builds her wardrobe, and eventually grows to care for her menial job, her Ritalin-snorting boss, and the entertainment industry in general. Finally, she reaches the conclusion that thousands of other Californians have before her: what she really wants to do is produce. At times, Lizzie seems far too naïve to survive long in the shark-infested waters that the authors describe, but there can be only one kind of ending to such a light-hearted book, so we know she will somehow muddle through. Hare (who was once a Hollywood executive herself) and Naylor throw in a dreamy guy and a few plot twists that most readers could see coming from space, stir, and serve. Of course, a little frivolity is not a bad thing, and The Second Assistant is certainly an entertaining addition the new underling subgenre of modern fiction. --Leah Weathersby","12,865"
I Am The Secret Swinger,Secret Swinger,0.0,,"First published September 19, 2012","After a traumatic break-up in which he finds his girlfriend in bed with another man, the Secret Swinger actively explores the hypothesis that many attached women fantasise about having a secret lover who can excite, inflame and satisfy them, and duly sets out to seduce other men’s wives and girlfriends - with surprising success.The result is an eye-popping adults-only true-life trilogy: an often hilarious mix of sexual misadventure, dating disaster and hedonistic swinger naughtiness...in all its gory detail!Buyer Beware: Please don’t buy this book if you don’t like adult humour, or the concept of swingers, or graphic depictions of a sexual nature. But you know as well as I do that’s not really meant to put you off, because I think there’s a voyeur in all of us to some extent...and while most of us don’t actively go peeking into other people’s sex lives, I think we all find it fascinating when someone does open up and reveal the most intimate details (both good and bad) of an alternative lifestyle that most people might be curious about but never actually tried.",0

Greek Tragedy in the Light of Vase Paintings,John Homer Huddilston,0.0,,"First published January 1, 1989","This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ...counterparts of each other. The altars likewise and the Apollo figures have much in common. Most important of all is the fact that in both pictures the chief persons are denoted by inscriptions. It should be observed further that both vases are of the same style, amphoras with volute handles, and both were found in Ruvo. These facts lead me to believe that one and the same artist may have been the painter of both works. He leaves accordingly for Delphi. The messenger comes in after a song by the chorus and relates what has taken place. Orestes had gone round putting the Delphians on their guard against this Neoptolemos whose plan was to sack the temple. Credence was at once given to the fabrication, and the inhabitants determined upon a bold step. When Neoptolemos was at the altar addressing the god, the band of armed Delphians who were lying in wait for him behind the sacred laurel-tree sprang out and fell upon him. This furnishes the setting for our painting, and we may turn for a little to a closer examination of the account given by the poet. It will be noticed that the artist, while in some respects keeping close to the latter, has in the main done his work rather independently. Common to both are the Satpyq (v. 1115) and the /so/jos(vs. 1123 and 113K). The attacking party in the painting includes Orestes, thus emphasizing the point which Euripides really had in mind. In this particular the artist has gone ahead of the poet. It appears, indeed, as though Orestes had just made the slash in Neoptolemos' side. The moment represented is, therefore, that when the fight was on. The Delphians appear to have but one representative, who is certainly creating far less annoyance for Neoptolemos than does the company in Euripides, where they...",0

Lisia; Vortigern's Island,Charles Parkinson,4.0,,"First published December 1, 2012","This book tells the extraordinary story of Guernsey and the other Channel Islands in the north-west Europe of Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. The Channel Islands were places of religious significance to the Celtic peoples of pre-Roman Gaul, and they contain literally hundreds of stone monuments and tombs dating back to 4500 BC. But more than that, they were vital links on the trade routes between Britain and the Mediterranean, and they operated important commodities exchanges from the 2nd millennium BC until the Roman era. In both their religious and commercial roles, they were known to the ancient Greeks, and in the Roman Empire, Jersey became a centre for offshore banking.In the Dark Ages, the Islands became staging posts for the British, moving between their homelands in England and Wales, and their 'colonies' in Brittany. These travellers may have included 'King' Arthur, but Guernsey has surprising connections with another king of the era, a story which has been long forgotten. At this time too, the Islands found themselves a short sea-crossing from a possible site of the Grail Castle.Subsequently the Islands were absorbed into the Frankish and then Norman Empires, and it was through the Norman connection that they once again acquired a relationship with the monarchs of England. The Norman Conquest, in which soldiers from the Channel Islands may have played a part, on Duke William's side, freed the British from the Anglo-Saxon/Viking regimes which had ruled Britain for 500 years, and brought about a revival of the Arthurian traditions in England.",2

The Trouble with Aliens,Christopher Anvil,3.58,Science Fiction,"First published August 1, 2006","Humans on the space frontiers may have enough problems with befuddled bureaucrats, rules that don't fit the realities of very dangerous situations, and general rear-echelon incompetence without bringing in unfriendly aliens, but it's that kind of universe. On the other hand, as master satirist Christopher Anvil makes clear, the aliens are anything but omnipotent and have plenty of problems of their own. * Here for the first time the stories and short novels of the war with the Outs are collected into a novel-length chronicle. The Outs had mental powers they could use to make humans see illusions and convince them to change sides. Obviously, they were unbeatable-until some troublesome humans found their Achille's heel. * Another set of aliens arrive to conquer the Earth with the promise of eternal youth and healthfulness, and might have won, if some humans weren't too plain ornery not to be suspicious. * Who's the best human envoy to deal with aliens who can read minds and learn anything their opponents know-the man who knows little or nothing, of course, including why he was sent there. * When an investigator was hired to find out the reason for the strange events in a palatial mansion, he quickly solves the case-until he wakes up and finds that his solution was only a dream and the case is still unsolved. And the same thing happens again every night. * These and other stories of human/alien conflict fill this large volume by the master of wryly sardonic science fiction adventure.",101

Or consider another set of invaders, from a planet where the weather is always mild and the changing of the seasons is hardly noticeable.

Then there were the aliens who noticed how belligerent humans were, and gave them the “gift” of TV-like devices which would show anything anywhere on Earth, which was sure to lead to war. Imagine how surprised the aliens were when the humans took the gadgets apart, improved them, and started spying on everything the aliens were up to, all over the galaxy.

Abschied von der Unschuld,Olivia Manning,3.85,Fiction,"First published January 1, 1951","1945: Nach dem Tod seiner Mutter findet der britische Teenager Felix Latimer Unterschlupf in der Pension einer entfernten Verwandten in Jerusalem. Miss Bohun, verschroben, geizig und bigott, ist weniger an Felix’ Seelenheil als an dem finanziellen Vorteil interessiert, den sein Aufenthalt ihr bringt. Inmitten der skurrilen Pensionsgäste, allesamt Flüchtlinge, die mit sich und ihrem Schicksal zu beschäftigt sind, um Felix Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken, ist die Siamkatze Faro zunächst seine einzige Bezugsperson – bis Mrs. Ellis in die Pension einzieht. Diese ist seit kurzem verwitwet, und allmählich sieht Felix nicht nur eine Ersatzmutter in ihr, sondern verliebt sich auch ein wenig in sie. Doch zu seiner Enttäuschung stellt er nach und nach fest, dass Mrs. Ellis nicht weise, sondern verbittert, hinterhältig und beinahe so unreif wie er selbst ist. Die einzige Konstante in Felix’ Leben ist paradoxerweise die Katze Faro. Die Kulisse von Felix’ Kampf um geistige Unabhängigkeit ist das Jerusalem kurz vor Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs: bunt, quirlig, voller Flüchtlinge – ein Wartesaal der Gestrandeten, die wie Felix nirgendwo dazugehören und zugleich von der Sehnsucht nach Zugehörigkeit geprägt sind. Olivia Mannings Sprache und Erzählung sind unsentimental, gelegentlich humorvoll. Grandios ist Miss Bohun in ihrer vorgeblich nächstenliebenden, dabei um jeden Piaster feilschenden Art dargestellt. Eine der grandiosesten alten Jungfern der Literatur, die jeden Schacherfeldzug christlich zu entschuldigen weiß. Mit Gusto tischt sie ihren Pensionsgästen Mahlzeiten auf, bei denen der Geschmack keine Rolle spielt, sondern der Preis. Und warum pro Person drei Sardinen, wenn zweieinhalb mehr als ausreichend sind? Zugleich ist sie tief enttäuscht darüber, dass niemand ihr die gebührende Dankbarkeit zollt. So ist der Roman, in Großbritannien ein moderner Klassiker, auch eine wunderbare Studie der Unvereinbarkeit von Fremd- und Selbstbild.",664

She has presented at World and Australasian conferences and received many awards for her services to the sector.Beverley’s summation of her bookThis is a journey of discovery. It is the process in which I gained knowledge of my past in my early forties and how I learned that I had Multiple Personality Disorder (now called Dissociative Identity Disorder or DID). It is about the ineptitude of the medical field in regard to mental health disorders of this kind and my fifteen year search to find a solution or cure to a life controlling mental illness. Who were these people inhabiting my body and what happened to them. How was I able to get well? I was having flashbacks to horrendous abuse as a result of Satanic cult abusers who were part of a pedophile ring. These were events I did not know existed in the world let alone to me personally.What makes this book different from others on Dissociative Identity Disorder?I can honestly say I have been fortunate. It is true that my life has been very hard, I have had to fight for survival, fight to find people to help me get well, fight against the disbelievers but I’ve been lucky to find the people in my life who believed, and have helped me many of which have no idea how crucial they were to my journey of self disclosure. This is the difference of between my book and others on the subject. Other books mostly discuss DID, but examples to support the work of others centre on people who are still suffering. However I am here to tell the story about how I got well.",2

Offenbar hat die neue Freiheit und Selbstverantwortung eine dunkle Kehrseite. Ihre implizite Botschaft lautet: Jeder kann perfekt sein, jeder kann alles haben. Wer versagt, hat sich nicht genug angestrengt; wer scheitert, ist allein schuld. Beschämung und Schuldgefühle sind die Folge, Wut, Aggression und diffuse Trauer, Selbstzweifel und »bipolare Störungen« - oder gar Täuschung und Betrug, wenn es gilt, die ausufernden Leistungskataloge der modernen Arbeitswelt zu erfüllen. Keineswegs zufällig werden sie uns im Gewande objektiver, wissenschaftlich geprüfter Erfordernisse präsentiert, gegen die aufzubegehren zwecklos ist.

Five years after the 2008 global financial crash, nothing seems to work as per projections. But what if the rules of the game have inverted? What if economic growth is eluding us for a reason that we have discounted all this while? What if there are indeed limits to growth? We need a new lens to understand this inversion of economic reality. The Third Curve provides us that lens. It identifies the root cause of the malady by reminding us of the forgotten relationships between money and energy, capital and resources, concept and reality. Only through recognizing the pitfalls of perpetual growth can we truly map a secure future for our business enterprises, ourselves, our children and the planet at large",92

Romanzi,Antonio Tabucchi,4.0,,"First published November 30, 1996","Lisbona e il Portogallo sono teatro decisivo dell'immaginazione letteraria di Antonio Tabucchi. Con Lisbona Tabucchi firma un patto ideale attraverso l'amato Fernando Pessoa e il lavoro assiduo, durato tutta una vita, sull'opera del poeta. A Lisbona è legato dall'amore per la moglie Maria José De Lancastre e della realtà portoghese è stato, sempre, appassionato lettore. È lì, in questo Portogallo vissuto ma anche trasfigurato dall'invenzione letteraria, che rifluiscono le sue storie, i suoi fantasmi, la memoria del tempo storico e la memoria del tempo interiore. ""Requiem"" (1991), ""Sostiene Pereira"" (1994) e ""La testa perduta di Damasceno Monteiro"" (1997) testimoniano con straordinaria evidenza una stagione felicissima di scrittura e di impegno civile. Siamo di fronte a tre storie che, lette in sequenza, disegnano la trasparente complessità di motivi che danno forma e spessore all'avventura letteraria di Antonio Tabucchi. L'allucinato destarsi di figure che vengono, attraverso il sogno, a chiedere conto, il riscatto di un uomo mite messo dinnanzi all'urgenza di scegliere, il mistero di un delitto che suscita nuova ansia di giustizia in un uomo sconfitto ma non rassegnato. Con qualche libertà potremmo chiamarla ""trilogia portoghese"".",3

The Iron Heel,Jack London,3.78,Fiction,"First published January 1, 1908","Generally considered to be ""the earliest of the modern Dystopian,"" it chronicles the rise of an oligarchic tyranny in the United States. It is arguably the novel in which Jack London's socialist views are most explicitly on display. A forerunner of soft science fiction novels and stories of the 1960s and 1970s, the book stresses future changes in society and politics while paying much less attention to technological changes. Table of MY EAGLE CHALLENGES JOHNSON'S ARM SLAVES OF THE MACHINE THE PHILOMATHS ADUMBRATIONS THE BISHOP'S VISION THE MACHINE BREAKERS THE MATHEMATICS OF A DREAM THE VORTEX THE GREAT ADVENTURE THE BISHOP THE GENERAL STRIKE THE BEGINNING OF THE END LAST DAYS THE END THE SCARLET LIVERY IN THE SHADOW OF SONOMA TRANSFORMATION THE LAST OLIGARCH THE ROARING ABYSMAL BEAST THE CHICAGO COMMUNE THE PEOPLE OF THE ABYSS NIGHTMARE THE TERRORISTS' to 'Set in the future, ""The Iron Heel"" describes a world in which the division between the classes has deepened, creating a powerful Oligarchy that retains control through terror. A manuscript by rebel Avis Everhard is recovered in an even more distant future, and analyzed by scholar Anthony Meredith. Published in 1908, Jack London's multi-layered narrative is an early example of the dystopian novel, and its vision of the future proved to be eerily prescient of the violence and fascism that marked the initial half of the 20th century.","11,355"

He is a translator who can no longer dream of translating beautiful works of fiction. He is an amateur musician who can no longer dream of expressing his life on a higher plane, without words. As he glares inside himself he sees little but his declining sexuality, his crumbling hold on life, a growing list of failed relationships, and a darkening well of loneliness. Stumbling upon an image on the Internet one night, he suddenly hears cell doors sliding open. He stares at a young woman, in profile, beautiful, unblinking, regal. Instinctively he knows that by lingering on that image he will shatter a relationship that has kept him on the sane side of loneliness as surely as if he stepped in front of a speeding eighteen-wheeler. But desperate to feel alive again before time runs out, he knows he must see the stranger behind the pixels on his laptop screen. Although it is her image that first transfixes him, his eye afterwards chances on a handful of words on the Internet page. She is a dominatrix. The word triggers something inside him, blows the dust off fantasies trickling back to adolescence, and slowly begins to re-choreograph his decades of sexual memories. Was he ever really the dominant male he thought he was? Did he have a sexual alter-ego? Was this the last card he had to play in life? The face on the screen held the answer. He would find out even if it killed him.",126

Atilla: A Hun Üzenet,Cey-Bert Róbert Gyula,3.8,,"First published January 1, 2012","Részlet a könyv magyar nyelvű ""Synopsis"" című fejezetéből: Egyre gyakrabban hangzik el a kérdés a történelmet kedvelő emberek körében, hogy ki is volt valójában Atilla, az V. században élt hun uralkodó? Az Apokalipszis rémisztő lovasa volt-e, aki kegyetlen hadjáraival meg akarta semmisíteni a keresztény Európát, vagy inkább egy rendkívül tehetséges és toleráns uralkodó, aki emberségesen és igazságosan uralkodott a Közép - ázsiai Tien Sántól az Atlanti Óceánig elterülő hatalmas birodalomban? A válasz 15 évszázadon keresztül egyértelmű volt. Az előítéletekkel teli ókori szerzők hun ellenes tudósításait valós tényeknek tekintő történészek a lehető legfeketébbre festették, a végletekig démonizálták a hunokat, és Atillát, az uralkodójukat. A legtöbbet idézett római történész Marcellinus Ammianus, aki már akkor meghalt, amikor Atilla 5 éves gyermek volt (Kr. u. 400.) és soha nem látott egyetlen hunt sem. A hunokat mégis az ördög szövetségeseiként, a legvadabb és legbarbárabb népként írta le, ""akik rablásból és gyilkolásból élnek, még a sütés-főzési eljárásokat sem ismerik, mindent nyersen fogyasztanak és nyereg alatt puhítják a húst"". Az utóbbi évtizedekben azonban a fentebbi kérdésre adott válasz kezd árnyaltabbá válni és lassan megváltozni. Az ókori híradások és az új történelmi ismeretek kritikai elemzéseinek tükrében egy történelmi valósághoz közelebb álló Atilla képet kezdünk megismerni... A történelmi igazságnak megfelelőbb Atilla kép rávilágít a hun uralkodó kivételes emberi és uralkodói nagyságára. Kitűnően megszervezte és előrelátóan irányította a hatalmas Hun Birodalmat, jóságos és nagyvonalú volt a legyőzött népekkel, meghagyta a javaikat, a földjeiket, az uralkodóikat és szövetséget kötött velük. Az ókort jól ismerő hadtörténészek szerint, Atilla Julius Caesar és Nagy Sándor mellett az ókor legnagyobb hadvezére volt. Minden csatáját és háborúját megnyerte, de Julius Caesarral és Nagy Sándorral ellentétben képes volt visszafogni magát, amikor nagylelkűen megkegyelmezett a védtelenül hagyott Konstantinápolynak és Rómának, és nem semmisítette meg a catalaunumi csata másnapján a germán szövetségesek által magukra hagyott római légiókat. A szerző az ókori ellentmondásos történelmi forrásokat tekintetbe véve, hun oldalról, Atilla szemszögéből mutatja be az V. század első felének legjelentősebb eseményeit és legfontosabb személyiségeit: Theodosius bizánci császárt, Honorius és Valentinius római császárt, Galla Placidia császárnőt, Leo pápát és Teodorik vizigót királyt. Atilla szellemileg mindannyiukat felülmúlta, műveltségével, intelligenciájával, erkölcsi értékrendjével. A hun mellett tökéletesen beszélt latinul, görögül, gótul, ugyanakkor jól ismerte a görög-római műveltséget (fiatal korában 2 évet tanult Rómában és Ravennában), úgy, mint a keleti kínai taoista és buddhista műveltséget, amellyel a 431-432-es távol-keleti útján ismerkedett meg... A regény fellebbenti a fátylat Atilla életének megfejthetetlennek tekintett misztériumairól, Aetiussal való barátságáról, a titokzatos távol-keleti út okairól, a catalaunumi csata utáni döntéséről és Leó pápával való titkos, négyszemközti tárgyalásáról, lelki párbajáról. Az olvasó megismerheti Atilla gondolkodásmódját, szellemi és lelki értékrendszerét, az uralkodó és hadvezéri döntések lélektani hátterét... Atilla korából kevés, hitelesnek tekinthető leírás maradt. Azért is indokolt, hogy a meglévő adatok, régészeti leletek, kiásott fegyverek, a nép ajkán megőrzött mondák ismeretében és azok alapján meg kell alkotni egy olyan Atilla-képet, amely megközelíti a valóságban a lehetséges alakját...",5

Tolkien's Triumph: The Strange History of 'The Lord of the Rings',John Lennard,3.5,,"First published October 21, 2013","How on Middle-earth did a fantasy book that is more than 1,000 pages long even in small print, written in high style, and has six appendices as well as passages of untranslated poetry in imaginary languages, come to sell on average 8,500 copies per day for nearly 50 years? Even before the notorious Ace pirate editions of 1965 sales were exceptional, and since then they've been astounding -- so how did Tolkien do it? In four sections this book explores Tolkien's improbable triumph, examining how 'The Lord of the Rings' fits into the wider legendarium, the carefully shaped ending (which the films greatly simplify), the Tolkien cult and responses by individual readers, and the growth of Tolkien fanfiction. His professional scholarship, experiences of 1914-18 and 1939-45, and devout Roman Catholicism were vital to his fiction, and the literary appeal of the book's complexity and truth to sadness are explored. But so too are the book's relations with role-playing gaming and associations with political protest, from the Civil Rights and anti-war campaigns of the 1960s to later anti-racist and ecological dissent, with the irrational contempt for Tolkien shown by some critics and the hugely creative responses he continues to provoke and inspire. Those who only know Tolkien's masterpiece casually or through the films will find many new vistas opening up, and those who are already knowledgeable fans will find much to chew on and to surprise. John Lennard is an independent scholar who has taught at Oxford and Cambridge as well as for Notre Dame and other universities, and has a long history of publishing on genre fiction as well as works deemed 'worthy' by the academies. He first read 'The Lord of the Rings' more than 40 years ago and has been thinking about and reading around it ever since.",16

The exercises are an important feature, teaching research-level counterintuitive lessons in the design of computer systems.

"Network Analysis, Architecture, and Design",James Dabney McCabe,3.67,,"First published April 22, 2003","Traditionally, networking has had little or no basis in analysis or architectural development, with designers relying on technologies they are most familiar with or being influenced by vendors or consultants. However, the landscape of networking has changed so that network services have now become one of the most important factors to the success of many third generation networks. It has become an important feature of the designer's job to define the problems that exist in his network, choose and analyze several optimization parameters during the analysis process, and then prioritize and evaluate these parameters in the architecture and design of the system.Network Analysis, Architecture, and Design, Third Edition, uses a systems methodology approach to teaching these concepts, which views the network (and the environment it impacts) as part of the larger system, looking at interactions and dependencies between the network and its users, applications, and devices. This approach matches the new business climate where customers drive the development of new services and the book discusses how networks can be architected and designed to provide many different types of services to customers. With a number of examples, analogies, instructor tips, and exercises, this book works through the processes of analysis, architecture, and design step by step, giving designers a solid resource for making good design decisions.With examples, guidelines, and general principles McCabe illuminates how a network begins as a concept, is built with addressing protocol, routing, and management, and harmonizes with the interconnected technology around it. Other topics covered in the book are learning to recognize problems in initial design, analyzing optimization parameters, and then prioritizing these parameters and incorporating them into the architecture and design of the system. This is an essential book for any professional that will be designing or working with a network on a routine basis.Substantially updated design content includes ad hoc networks, GMPLS, IPv6, and mobile networking Written by an expert in the field that has designed several large-scale networks for government agencies, universities, and corporations Incorporates real-life ideas and experiences of many expert designers along with case studies and end-of-chapter exercises",15

Lexique juridique. Expressions latines,Henri Roland,3.0,,"First published January 1, 2010","A l'ère de la mondialisation, jamais le latin n'est apparu aussi indispensable au juriste, ne serait-ce que pour échapper à la versalité du législateur, résister au jargon et aider à la construction d'un système normatif de portée transnationale. Les expressions latines, mots, locutions, adages, représentent un outil de communication sans équivalent grâce auquel les notions et les règles du droit sont exprimées avec élégance, simplicité et concision. Si le latin, dans le droit comme dans d'autres domaines de la pensée (médecine, botanique, liturgie), a défié les siècles, c'est qu'il est une langue véhiculaire empreinte d'universalité. Ce Lexique de droit positif se veut, avant tout, un ouvrage destiné au grand public des juristes débutants et des praticiens soucieux d'exactitude. Toutefois, rien n'interdit d'espérer que les amateurs de belles-lettres trouveront quelque plaisir à user de ces trésors linguistiques dont la pleine propriété n'est à personne mais dont l'usufruit appartient à tous.

Cette cinquième édition complète la nomenclature de 32 adages, 68 locutions, 26 mots, met à jour l'ensemble des textes explicatifs, refond l'index et développe un réseau de renvois établissant, par le jeu des affinités et des oppositions, de nombreuses filières thématiques.",1

Transgalactic,A.E. van Vogt,3.64,Science Fiction,"First published September 26, 2006","Empire of the Atom and The Wizard of Linn: Global war smashed civilisation, or so the legends said, but not all of its machines. A caste of scientists arose who knew how to repair and operate the ancient machines, but not how they worked, and worshipped at the altars of the atomic gods who were said to make the machines run. Society was a strange mix of the modern and the medieval, with armies riding on horseback into huge spaceships, then flying to human colonies on other planets to wage war with swords and arrows. Then came the mutant Clane, who would have been put to death for his deformities had he not been born into the ruling family. Though his body was twisted, his mind was brilliant, and he not only recovered the lost science behind the ancient machines, but found the truth behind the legends of civilisation's downfall. Alien invaders, not human war, had reduced humanity to barbarism as a prelude for a later return in force to colonize the Solar System. And that return would happen soon, unless Clane could find a way to stop it. . . . For the first time, the entire Clane saga, told in the two novels Empire of the Atom and The Wizard of Linn, is complete in one volume.Mission to the Stars, Van Vogt's sweeping novel of interstellar adventure, is also included, along with the two short novels in the Ezwal series, chronicling the struggle of one man to convince a feral but intelligent species to join with humanity in the battle against a mutual enemy, but first he must convince the lone Ezwal who is trapped with him in a deadly jungle to co-operate, or neither will survive.",154

They met in a virgin forest on a duplicate planet Earth. Neither side knows who shot first, but each blames the other, and it doesn't really matter, now, because war has begun. War between the universes is the last thing responsible leaders on either side want. But the fury of their respective populations, xenophobic fear of the unknown, and cries for ""justice"" (or vengeance), are all driving both sides towards the brink. And unscrupulous, power-hungry men—and Arcana and Sharona alike—have agendas of their own. The fuse has been lit, and a war stretching across the universes, fought between dragons, spells, and crossbows and repeating rifles, machine guns, and artillery is erupting in white-hot rage and fury.

"The Map and the Territory: Risk, Human Nature, and the Future of Forecasting",Alan Greenspan,3.27,Economics,"First published October 22, 2013","Like all of us, though few so visibly, Alan Greenspan was forced by the financial crisis of 2008 to question some fundamental assumptions about risk management and economic forecasting. No one with any meaningful role in economic decision making in the world saw beforehand the storm for what it was. How had our models so utterly failed us? To answer this question, Alan Greenspan embarked on a rigorous and far-reaching multiyear examination of how Homo economicus predicts the economic future, and how it can predict it better. Economic risk is a fact of life in every realm, from home to business to government at all levels. Whether we’re conscious of it or not, we make wagers on the future virtually every day, one way or another. Very often, however, we’re steering by out-of-date maps, when we’re not driven by factors entirely beyond our conscious control. The Map and the Territory is nothing less than an effort to update our forecasting conceptual grid. It integrates the history of economic prediction, the new work of behavioral economists, and the fruits of the author’s own remarkable career to offer a thrillingly lucid and empirically based grounding in what we can know about economic forecasting and what we can’t.The book explores how culture is and isn't destiny and probes what we can predict about the world's biggest looming challenges, from debt and the reform of the welfare state to natural disasters in an age of global warming. No map is the territory, but Greenspan’s approach, grounded in his trademark rigor, wisdom, and unprecedented context, ensures that this particular map will assist in safe journeys down many different roads, traveled by individuals, businesses, and the state.",462

The Cultural Logic of Insurrection: Essays on Tiqqun and the Invisible Committee,Alden Wood,3.36,,"First published January 1, 2013","Tiqqun and The Invisible Committee, while clearly informed by academic discourses (such as traditional metaphysics, theories of sovereignty, the study of biopolitics and disciplinary practices, etc), are staunchly defiant of the academy’s monopoly over political thought. They are at once an appropriation, recontextualization, and a liberation of certain theoretical concepts from the tautological trap of academia and their subsequent projection into the world. In this way, Tiqqun and The Invisible Committee represent a critical synthesis of theoretical spaces as disparate and diverse as anarchist thought, Italian autonomist-Marxism from the 1970s, French ultragauche communism, the squatter’s movement in Europe in the 1980s, and the Situationist International. These essays are a dialogue with Tiqqun's logic and their successes (and failures) as a project.",11

Last Trains: Dr Beeching and the Death of Rural England,Charles Loft,3.47,History,"First published March 15, 2013","“The debate about Dr Richard Beeching will rage until the Second Coming – and probably beyond. But in Charles Loft’s careful examination of the Beeching Report , we have as fine a study as we are going to possess in the meantime.” – Peter Hennessy “Loft’s great strength is his judiciousness. He understands the political processes and assesses them fair-mindedly. And his verdict will, I suspect, hold up better than any of Beeching’s judgements.” – Matthew Engel, Financial Times “Prepare to be impressed, shocked and saddened … This is undoubtedly one of the best books of the year – a riveting read.” – Railways Illustrated “Lucid, to the point, thought-provoking at every turn, Last Trains is a volume that everyone should read before making judgements about the rail closures of the Sixties.” – Heritage Railway “Thoughtful and well-researched analysis.” – Edinburgh Evening News *** During the course of the 1950s England lost confidence in its rulers and convinced itself it must modernise. The failing steam-powered local railways, run by Colonel Blimp, symbolised everything that was wrong with the country – surely the future lay in motorways and high-speed express trains? Along came Dr Beeching with his diagnosis, and suddenly branch-line Britain was gone for ever. The debate about the Beeching cuts has raged ever since. In this superbly researched examination, Charles Loft exposes the political failures that bankrupted the railways and lays bare the increasing alienation of bureaucrats from the public they were trying to serve. The result is a fascinating study of a nation grappling to come to terms with modernity.",53

Los salones y la vida de París,Marcel Proust,3.33,,"First published January 1, 1890","Los hasta ahora desconocidos artículos de Los salones y la vida de París nos revelan no sólo los inicios literarios del celebérrimo autor de En busca del tiempo perdido sino también algunas claves importantes de la psicología y del mundo personal de Marcel Proust (1871-1922). En la literatura de todo escritor realmente grande no hay obra pequeña o falta de interés; sobre todo si, como es el caso, está poseído de un fuerte e insobornable sentido autocrítico. A finales del siglo XIX la crónica de salón constituía en toda Europa, especialmente en Francia, una suerte de género literario. El joven Marcel Proust fue uno de sus más esforzados cultivadores. El trato y el retrato de la “alta sociedad” francesa del momento alimentaban ya, prefigurándolo de algún modo, el secreto universo de Guermantes.

"Time Within Time: The Diaries, 1970 1986",Andrei Tarkovsky,4.34,Film,"First published January 1, 1989","“Tarkovsky for me is the greatest,” wrote Ingmar Bergman. Andrey Tarkovsky only made seven films, but all are celebrated for its striking visual images, quietly patient dramatic structures, and visionary symbolism.Time within Time is both a diary and a notebook, maintained by Tarkovsky from 1970 until his death. Intense and intimate, it offers reflections on Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Hermann Hesse, Thomas Mann, and others. He writes movingly of his family, especially his father, Arseniy Tarkovsky, whose poems appear in his films. He records haunting dreams in detail and speaks of the state of society and the future of art, noting significant world events and purely personal dramas along with fascinating accounts of his own filmmaking. Rounding out this volume are Tarkovsky’s plans and notes for his stage version of Hamlet; a detailed proposal for a film adaptation of Dostoyevsky’s The Idiot; and a glimpse of the more public Tarkovsky answering questions put to him by interviewers.",656

"The Massacre of ABDACOM: The Destruction of the United States, British, Dutch and Australian Forces by the Japanese In World War II",J. Lee Ready,3.4,,"First published September 9, 2013","Bataan! Singapore! Coral Sea! These names have become legend in the history of World War II. Yet ABDACOM is one of those military acronyms that has faded into the mist. But at the time in 1941 and 1942 this unit title meant real flesh and blood people, real soldiers, sailors and airmen fighting a seemingly hopeless battle. Named after the American, British, Dutch and Australian armed forces, the formation also included units of the armed forces of Canada, China, New Zealand, Burma, Hong Kong, Singapore, India and the Philippines, and of lands that became Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangla Desh. The battlefield covered the greatest surface of the earth of any battlefield in the history of mankind. It encompassed the largest surrender in British military history, and the longest retreat in the history of that martial nation. Also involved was the largest surrender of US controlled troops in American history. And the second largest surrender in Dutch military history. Modern warfare was introduced to the soil of Australia for the first time. More Canadian troops were lost in one week of battle, than in the previous two years of war put together. In addition, these crippling defeats were inflicted upon Caucasian white generals and admirals by members of a non-white race. This fact alone would have massive repercussions for the latter half of the twentieth century, and more than any other single factor it would be responsible for bringing the age of colonialism to an end. Over half a million desperate men and women valiantly fought to stem the tide of Japanese aggression on the ground, in the air and at sea, and they suffered more than ninety per cent casualties. This indeed was a massacre.",10

"Left-Wing Communism, an Infantile Disorder: A Popular Essay in Marxian Strategy and Tactics",Vladimir Lenin,4.17,Politics,"First published May 1, 1920","Originally published in 1940, ""Left-Wing"" Communism, An Infantile Disorder is a popular essay in Marxian strategy and tactics. About the Author Vladimir Ilich Lenin (1870-1924) was the founder of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks), inspirer and leader of Bolshevik Revolution (1917), and the architect, builder, and first head (1917-24) of the Soviet State. He was the founder of the organization known as Comintern (Communist International) and the posthumous source of ""Leninism,"" the doctrine codified and conjoined with Marx's works by Lenin's successors to form Marxism-Leninism, which became the Communist worldview. If the Bolshevik Revolution is - as some people have called it - the most significant political event of the 20th century, then Lenin must for good or ill be regarded as the century's most significant political leader. Not only in the scholarly circles of the former Soviet Union but even among many non-Communist scholars, he has been regarded as the greatest revolutionary leader and revolutionary statesman in history, as well as the greatest revolutionary thinker since Marx.","2,684"

Hollywood Unknowns,Anthony Slide,4.18,Film,"First published September 5, 2012","Extras, bit players, and stand-ins have been a part of the film industry almost from its conception. On a personal and a professional level, their stories are told in Hollywood Unknowns, the first history devoted to extras from the silent era through the present.Hollywood Unknowns discusses the relationship of the extra to the star, the lowly position in which extras were held, the poor working conditions and wages, and the sexual exploitation of many of the hardworking women striving for a place in Hollywood society. Though mainly anonymous, many are identified by name and, for perhaps the first time, receive equal billing with the stars. And Hollywood Unknowns does not forget the bit players, stand-ins, and doubles, who work alongside the extras facing many of the same privations. Celebrity extras, silent stars who ended their days as extras, or members of various ethnic groups--all gain a deserved luster in acclaimed film writer Anthony Slide's prose. Chapters document the lives and work of extras from the 1890s to the present. Slide also treats such subjects as the Hollywood Studio Club, Central Casting, the extras in popular literature, and the efforts at unionization through the Screen Actors Guild from the 1930s onwards.Slide chronicles events such as John Barrymore's walking off set in the middle of the day so the extras could earn another day's wages, and Cecil B. DeMille's masterful organizing of casts of thousands in films such as Cleopatra. Through personal interviews, oral histories, and the use of newly available archival material, Slide reveals in Hollywood Unknowns the story of the men, women, and even animals that completed the scenes on the silver screen.",17

Criada em 24.09.2006, ela nasceu pequena e foi crescendo gradativamente ao longo dos anos, com o objetivo de compartilhar adaptações do romance Orgulho & Preconceito. Em 2009 deu origem ao site “Jane Austen Fanfics”, onde os textos compartilhados puderam ser divulgados para o público em geral. As adaptações divulgadas na comunidade e no site são Fanfics. Fanfic é um termo originário do inglês, abreviação de fan fiction (ficção criada por fã), que significa obra escrita em continuação a um livro ou a um filme, na qual se desenvolve uma estória paralela. Pode-se modificar o enredo original, recontando a estória, ou mesmo utilizar as personagens e/ ou elementos da obra para criar situações completamente novas. Em 2012 o alcance da comunidade “Orgulho & Preconceito” e do site “Jane Austen Fanfics” demonstrou a necessidade de compartilhar as Fanfics produzidas para além dos limites já conhecidos. Com esse objetivo foi criada a presente coletânea de Contos. A coletânea, intitulada “Contos de Fim de Ano. Volume I”, contém textos, inéditos e já publicados, exclusivamente escritos pelas autoras do grupo; todos tendo em comum o contexto da obra Orgulho e Preconceito, de Jane Austen, e as festas de fim de ano, época em que tradicionalmente é organizada uma maratona de contos na comunidade.

Ritratti in jazz,Haruki Murakami,3.7,Music,"First published January 1, 1997","Murakami Haruki ha gestito un jazz club per molti anni prima di dedicarsi a tempo pieno alla scrittura: ecco, leggendo Ritratti in jazz si ha l'impressione di essersi appena seduti a uno dei tavoli del locale a bere qualcosa mentre un vecchio amico, Murakami stesso, ti racconta quello che stai ascoltando. Il tono è confidenziale, caldo, privo di specialismi, eppure pieno di informazioni, curiosità, aneddoti, di cose che si scoprono. Quello, però, che più colpisce è la passione sincera e bruciante che ogni «ritratto» trasmette: Murakami riesce veramente a farti «sentire » il brano o il disco in questione.Ritratti in jazz regala al lettore un Murakami allo stesso tempo inedito e riconoscibile. Riconoscibile perché il jazz, ancora più della corsa, è una passione che forma l'ossatura stessa della sua opera creativa. I suoi romanzi sono pieni di jazz, allusioni a dischi e musicisti: in un'ipotetica ricetta della poetica murakaminiana l'ingrediente «jazz» è fondamentale e i suoi lettori lo sanno bene. Inedito perché mai come in questo libro si ha l'impressione di sentire la voce autentica e senza mediazioni narrative di Murakami, come se il lettore entrasse nel suo mondo piú quotidiano e genuino.Il libro è composto da cinquantacinque schede che, a partire dal ritratto di un musicista dipinto dall'artista Wada Makoto, commentano un disco storico. Ogni scheda, nelle mani di Murakami, diventa un piccolo racconto, un frammento di memoria autobiografica o il fulmineo ritratto di un artista, di un'epoca. Da Chet Baker a Benny Goodman, da Charlie Parker a Billie Holiday, Charles Mingus, Bill Evans, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis e tanti altri, si va a comporre una «discoteca» ideale, una guida all'ascolto compilata da Murakami Haruki in persona.",337

And when he commits a random act of violence in Algiers, society is baffled. Why would this seemingly law-abiding bachelor do such a thing? And why does he show no remorse even when it could save his life? His refusal to satisfy the feelings of others only increases his guilt in the eyes of the law. Soon Meursault discovers that he is being tried not simply for his crime, but for his lack of emotion - a reaction that condemns him for being an outsider. For Meursault, this is an insult to his reason and a betrayal of his hopes; for Camus it encapsulates the absurdity of life.","1,193,019"

En finir avec ce chômage,Daniel Moinier,0.0,,"First published February 1, 2005","En finir avec ce chômageJe suis recruteur depuis plus de 40 années. Pendant mes premières cinq années, j’ai connu une France sans chômeur. Depuis 1980, un chômage progressif et permanent s’est installé. Et le constat qu’un certain niveau de chômage incompressible communément admis, incontournable, m’est devenu insupportable.Pourquoi ?J’ai décidé d’en définir les causes et de trouver les solutions qui pourraient le diminuer fortement et même l’éradiquer.Depuis 1975, la France est en déficit et c’est à cette date que l’on a vraiment commencé parlé du chômage. Bien avant, il n’y avait même pas d’ANPE (Agence Nationale pour l’Emploi, pour les plus jeunes, devenu Pôle Emploi), sinon une Bourse de l’Emploi qui ne s’occupait pour ainsi dire, que des offresMais c’est en 1982 que ce chômage a véritablement explosé en même temps que nos déficits, avec comme conséquences, l’augmentation de toutes les charges sociales et fiscales. Notamment les charges sur salaires employé, qui ont été multiplié par trois, celles employeur par deux.Et malgré tous les plans pour réduire ce chômage, il a plutôt toujours augmenté, sauf dans certaines périodes économiques mondiales favorables.Il s’est donc installé durablement, à tel point qu’un chômeur qui pouvait passer pour une ""tare"" ou un sujet de honte pour sa famille, est presque devenu un ""salarié"" comme un autre, avec un syndicat pour défendre son statut.Vous trouverez dans cet ouvrage, une étude menée avec minutie, depuis la guerre jusqu’à nos jours ainsi que des solutions dont l’auteur affirme qu’elles pourraient diminuer ou même supprimer ce chômage pour revenir à une France du plein emploi, permettant de diminuer les charges et une fiscalité, que nous supportons actuellement, avec de plus en plus de mal.Retrouvez une France rayonnante, pleine de vie, d’espoirs, de projets, où il fait bon vivre, n’est-ce pas pas plus réjouissant et motivant pour tous !",0

The Power Plant,Charles W. Harvey,2.45,,"First published April 28, 2013","In the heart of his university, a young man embarks on a transformative journey, teetering between innocence and darker desires. In ""The Power Plant,"" our protagonist, a nineteen-year-old, finds himself ensnared within the gritty confines of his university's boiler and chiller facility, tasked with the mundane chores of typing reports and running errands. As he grapples with the complexities of his burgeoning attraction to men while societal expectations press upon him to fall in love with women, he must navigate the treacherous waters of self-discovery, identity, and the secrets that lie hidden beneath the surface. A poignant coming-of-age story with a compelling blend of innocence and menace, ""The Power Plant"" invites you to explore the profound complexities of one young man's journey to self-acceptance and the haunting mysteries that dwell within the depths of his university's mechanical labyrinth. An  Bells ring in my head. It's my Mother phoning the Power Plant late into the night, to inquire why haven't I come home. I know what time the night Operator is supposed to make his rounds to read the meters. But he will sleep half the night under the narcotic hum of the big chillers and fudge the numbers on the meter sheets. He'll eat his lunch in the control room up front by the big gaping door of the plant. He'll piss through the grate rather than come toward the tool room to go to the toilet. There's a side door that's always unlocked because the lock's broken. It's a good way for someone to get into the power plant unnoticed and into the tool room if they have a key like Hawkins has a key. I know Hawkins knows these things too. Because now he's looking at me and the ropes and pulleys hanging from the ceiling. He breathes hard and his hand digs deeper between his legs. He moves the door back and forth.***",11

She moved in the most exclusive circles in Washington, D.C., rubbed elbows with big politicians, and worked on Capitol Hill. As far as she was concerned, she was changing the world. And then her mother had a heart attack. Carolyn came home to help her father with his rural medical practice in the Tennessee mountains. She'd fill in for a few days as the receptionist until her mother could return to work. Or so she thought. But days turned into weeks. Her job now included following hazmat regulations for cleaning up bodily fluids; maintaining composure when confronted with a splinter the size of a steak knife; distinguishing between a ""pain,"" a ""strain,"" and a ""sprain"" on indecipherable Medicare forms; and tending to the loquacious Miss Hiawatha, whose daily doctor visits were never billed.Eventually, Jourdan gave up her Mercedes and made do with a twenty-year-old postal jeep. She shed her suits for scrubs. And the funny thing was, she liked her new life. As she watched her father work tirelessly and uncomplainingly, she saw what making a difference really meant: being on call all hours of the day and night, tolerating the local drug addict's frequent phone calls, truly listening to Miss Hiawatha.

The novel is the first of the four-book Cooper Moon series.Read the book that Kirkus Review describes as ""At its core, this is a story about class, karma and ordinary people trying to accomplish difficult goals that require extraordinary strength of body, mind and spirit...a strong, engaging voice ...A satisfying, feel-good novel about human shortcomings, perseverance and serendipity.""",109

A History of Horror,Wheeler Winston Dixon,3.27,Film,"First published August 24, 2010","Ever since horror leapt from popular fiction to the silver screen in the late 1890s, viewers have experienced fear and pleasure in exquisite combination. Wheeler Winston Dixon's A History of Horror is the only book to offer a comprehensive survey of this ever-popular film genre.Arranged by decades, with outliers and franchise films overlapping some years, this one-stop sourcebook unearths the historical origins of characters such as Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolfman and their various incarnations in film from the silent era to comedic sequels. A History of Horror explores how the horror film fits into the Hollywood studio system and how its enormous success in American and European culture expanded globally over time.Dixon examines key periods in the horror film-in which the basic precepts of the genre were established, then banished into conveniently reliable and malleable forms, and then, after collapsing into parody, rose again and again to create new levels of intensity and menace. A History of Horror, supported by rare stills from classic films, brings over fifty timeless horror films into frightfully clear focus, zooms in on today's top horror Web sites, and champions the stars, directors, and subgenres that make the horror film so exciting and popular with contemporary audiences.",103

Men Waiting for Sleep,Dan Cavallari,3.5,,"First published October 5, 2013","Right around the first of May, a fog rolls in over the coast of Maine, completely covering the towns of Key Harbor and Levant Harbor. Abe Jordan has lived through many fogs just like this one; now in his eighties, he is left with little else but the memory of his wife and the anticipation for his own long sleep. Just as the fog rolls in, Morris Levant buys Abe's fishery out from under him, using his nephew Joshua to deliver the news. It is this encounter that brings Abe back to his greatest failure: a missed opportunity to adopt Joshua years ago before Morris could ruin the boy. Now Joshua is a man imploding, and Abe has no intention of standing by quietly this time around. Meanwhile, the fog covers other misdeeds of the town: the ever-dangerous though often-absent Bobby Greenlaw returns to town suddenly; the area's biggest meth dealer heads toward an explosive ending; and a painfully shy teenage girl ties them together in an attempt to outrun her painful past before it can take over her future.",2

Mi sono piaciuti talmente tanto che ho deciso di fare la stessa operazione fatta con le sfumature, ho tradotto i brani, cambiando i nomi e adattando quei pochissimi particolari.Vi siete mai chieste cosa pensa Christian quando Ana gli rivela di essere vergine? O cosa succede a lui dopo che lei lo lascia alla fine del primo libro? Oppure ancora cosa fa Christian mentre Ana sta salvando Mia?Bene questi racconti soddisferanno tutte queste domande e altre, e vi faranno innamorare ancora di più di Mr Grey.Se volete davvero entrare nella testa di Mr Cinquanta Sfumature, questa è l’opera che dovete leggere.Naturalmente questa è una traduzione amatoriale, perciò perdonatemi eventuali errori, ho cercato di stare il più attenta possibile e aggiungere delle note per spiegare dove necessario. Spero davvero vi piacciano, tanto quanto sono piaciuti a me. Ho deciso d’intitolarla “Cinquanta Sfumature di Christian” perché senza dubbio qui il protagonista è lui, e in tutte le sue sfumature.","2,711,416"

Правилата на привличането,Bret Easton Ellis,3.72,Fiction,"First published September 1, 1987","From the bestselling author or Less Than Zero and American Psycho, The Rules of Attraction is a startlingly funny, kaleidoscopic novel about three students at a small, affluent liberal-arts college in New England with no plans for the future--or even the present--who become entangled in a curious romantic triangle. Bret Easton Ellis trains his incisive gaze on the kids at self-consciously bohemian Camden College and treats their sexual posturings and agonies with a mixture of acrid hilarity and compassion while exposing the moral vacuum at the center of their lives. Lauren changes boyfriends every time she changes majors and still pines for Victor who split for Europe months ago and she might or might not be writing anonymous love letter to ambivalent, hard-drinking Sean, a hopeless romantic who only has eyes for Lauren, even if he ends up in bed with half the campus, and Paul, Lauren's ex, forthrightly bisexual and whose passion masks a shrewd pragmatism. They waste time getting wasted, race from Thirsty Thursday Happy Hours to Dressed To Get Screwed parties to drinks at The Edge of the World or The Graveyard. The Rules of Attraction is a poignant, hilarious take on the death of romance.

Never a Dull Moment: The Memoirs of Sir John Leslie,John Norman Ide Leslie,4.5,,"First published September 1, 2006","From the introduction:""Sir John Leslie, born a New Yorker in 1916, came to Ireland at the tender age of three. This is the story of his adventures across two continents. The son of an Irish Nationalist and a bright American beauty, John's maternal grandfather was the American diplomat Henry Clay Ide who counted the Vanderbilts and Roosevelts among his friends. Grandpa Ide was Governor General of the Philippines, and consequently, his daughters grew up in the South Pacific.Yet, it was his father's side of the family, the Leslies, also related to the Spencers, Wellingtons, and Churchills, that would influence John's life more profoundly. Young John Leslie grew up dreaming of becoming Viceroy of India, in an era when that would have been a lofty, but plausible ambition for a young man from his background. However, history intervened, and so John's whrilwind social sphere of debutante balls and country house parties was interrupted by World War II, and five years spent in German P.O.W. camps.After his release John traveled to America where he made the rounds of New York society, before taking off to hitch-hike his way across the country. Returning to Europe, John took up residence in the old part of Rome, where he restored 16th Century houses, and the Badia di San Sebastiano di Alatri, which is now thought to be the oldest surviving monastery in Europe. At the ripe young age of 78 he returned to live year-round in his family home, Castle Leslie, situated on the banks of Glaslough, County Monaghan, Ireland. Where, just to keep things interesting, he took up night clubbing, to 'shake up his liver,' even going to Ibiza for his 85th birthday.Here in Glaslough his face was flashed across the world-wide media when he unwittingly made that wonderful on-camera comment about the planned wedding of Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills, 'It's on Tuesday, but it's a secret.''Never a Dull Moment' is Sir John's extremely delightful account of his ninety young years on this earth, written in his own words, and illustrated from his scrap books.""",4

Vernon Downs,Jaime Clarke,3.42,Fiction,,"Fiction. Charlie Martens is desperate for stability in an otherwise peripatetic life. An explosion that killed his parents when he was young robbed him of normalcy and he was shuttled from relative to relative, left alone to decipher the world he encountered in order to cobble together an answer as to how he would live. Ever the outcast, Charlie recognizes in Olivia, an international student from London, the sense of otherness he feels and their relationship seems to promise salvation. But when Olivia abandons him, his desperate mind fixates on her favorite writer, Vernon Downs, who becomes an emblem for reunion with Olivia. Charlie's quest takes him from Phoenix to New York City and when chance brings him into proximity to Vernon Downs, he quickly ingratiates himself into Downs's world. Proximity invites certain temptations, though, and it isn't long before Charlie moves dangerously from fandom to apprentice to outright possession.""VERNON DOWNS is a gripping, hypnotically written and unnerving look at the dark side of literary adulation. Jaime Clarke's tautly suspenseful novel is a cautionary tale for writers and readers alike--after finishing it, you may start to think that J.D. Salinger had the right idea after all.""--Tom Perrotta""Moving and edgy in just the right way. Love (or lack of) and Family (or lack of) is at the heart of this wonderfully obsessive novel.""--Gary Shteyngart""All strong literature stems from obsession. VERNON DOWNS belongs to a tradition that includes Nicholson Baker's U and I, Geoff Dyer's Out of Sheer Rage, and--for that matter--Pale Fire. What makes Clarke's excellent novel stand out isn't just its rueful intelligence, or its playful semi-veiling of certain notorious literary figures, but its startling sadness. VERNON DOWNS is first rate.""--Matthew Specktor""Jaime Clarke's VERNON DOWNS is a brilliant meditation on obsession, art, and celebrity. Charlie Marten's mounting fixation with the titular Vernon is not only driven by the burn of heartbreak and the lure of fame, but also a lost young man's struggle to locate his place in the world. VERNON DOWNS is an intoxicating novel, and Clarke is a dazzling literary talent.""--Laura van den Berg""An engrossing novel about longing and impersonation, which is to say, a story about the distance between persons, distances within ourselves. Clarke's prose is infused with music and intelligence and deep feeling.""--Charles Yu""VERNON DOWNS is a fascinating and sly tribute to a certain fascinating and sly writer, but this novel also perfectly captures the lonely distortions of a true obsession.""--Dana Spiotta",71

In het hol van de leeuw: Mijn verhaal over de machtsstrijd binnen ING,Jurgen Spelbos,3.12,,"First published October 1, 2013","Vanaf 2000 barst er een enorme strijd los binnen ING over de te varen koers. Wie waren er nu belangrijker: de klanten of de aandeelhouders? Moeten de verschillende merken, waaronder de zo bekende Postbank (die van vijftien miljoen mensen), opgaan in één bank met één naam? Groei, groei, groei krijgt als credo steeds meer de overhand, en dat lijkt ten koste te gaan van de klant. Het management komt lijnrecht tegenover elkaar te staan. Ego's doen zich gelden, de organisatie verandert in een chaos. Het ene na het andere schandaal haalt de voorpagina's. Daarnaast raken de bestuurders van de realiteit losgezongen. Zodanig zelfs dat er serieuze plannen voor een overname van ABN Amro worden gemaakt - één week voor ING zelf in totaal 32 miljard euro staatssteun moest aanvragen om een faillissement te voorkomen. In een van die schandalen speelde Jurgen Spelbos, van 2000 tot 2005 directeur communicatie bij ING Bank Nederland, de hoofdrol. Hij stond centraal in een van de mediastormen die over de ING heen raasde: met naam en toenaam werd hij op de voorpagina van De Telegraaf genoemd als een sjoemelende, discriminerende en drugs gebruikende directeur. Zijn verhaal is illustratief voor de manier van denken en doen binnen de top van ING die het bedrijf, en daarmee heel Nederland, op de rand van de afgrond bracht. Spelbos acht de tijd rijp om zijn onthullende verhaal te vertellen. In het hol van de leeuw is het verslag van hoe hij verwikkeld raakte in een keiharde machtsstrijd - en zelf onderuitging in een bedenkelijk spel.",25

Rorty,Gideon Calder,3.67,Philosophy,"First published January 1, 2011","''Iconoclastic and provocative, seductive and unsettling, Richard Rorty’s work is amongst the most widely-read and influential contributions to recent Western thinking. It is also deeply controversial. To many, rather than seeking to shed light on philosophy, Rorty comes to bury it. Yet as Gideon Calder shows in this accessible overview, Rorty is one of the most astute philosophical commentators of our age. Often referred to as ‘postmodernism for English-speakers’, his thought represents a robust and multi-faceted defence of the pragmatist claim that ideas are best judged by their contribution to concrete social progress, rather than by their approximation to a language-independent ‘reality’ or ‘truth’. In conveying the overall flavour of Rory’s thinking, Calder seeks to show us why – whether persuaded or not – we should indeed be provoked and set to work by its key conclusions.''",3

Sie wollen die Deutungshoheit über den Islam nicht den Fundamentalisten überlassen und setzen dem Dschihad gegen die Ungläubigen ihren eigenen Dschihad für mehr Freiheit und die Gleichberechtigung der Geschlechter entgegen. Zur Sprache kommen unter anderem der ägyptische Korangelehrte Abu Zaid, der durch die Zwangsscheidung von seiner Frau bekannt wurde, und die amerikanische Frauenrechtlerin Amina Wadud, die mit der Leitung eines Freitagsgebets – als erste Frau überhaupt – weltweit Aufsehen erregte.

In het hol van de leeuw: Mijn verhaal over de machtsstrijd binnen ING,Jurgen Spelbos,3.12,,"First published October 1, 2013","Vanaf 2000 barst er een enorme strijd los binnen ING over de te varen koers. Wie waren er nu belangrijker: de klanten of de aandeelhouders? Moeten de verschillende merken, waaronder de zo bekende Postbank (die van vijftien miljoen mensen), opgaan in één bank met één naam? Groei, groei, groei krijgt als credo steeds meer de overhand, en dat lijkt ten koste te gaan van de klant. Het management komt lijnrecht tegenover elkaar te staan. Egos doen zich gelden, de organisatie verandert in een chaos. Het ene na het andere schandaal haalt de voorpaginas. Daarnaast raken de bestuurders van de realiteit losgezongen. Zodanig zelfs dat er serieuze plannen voor een overname van ABN Amro worden gemaakt één week voor ING zelf in totaal 32 miljard euro staatssteun moest aanvragen om een faillissement te voorkomen. In een van die schandalen speelde Jurgen Spelbos, van 2000 tot 2005 directeur communicatie bij ING Bank Nederland, de hoofdrol. Hij stond centraal in een van de mediastormen die over de ING heen raasde: met naam en toenaam werd hij op de voorpagina van De Telegraaf genoemd als een sjoemelende, discriminerende en drugs gebruikende directeur. Zijn verhaal is illustratief voor de manier van denken en doen binnen de top van ING die het bedrijf, en daarmee heel Nederland, op de rand van de afgrond bracht.

W cieniu Białego Drzewa,Tomasz Z. Majkowski,4.25,Fantasy,"First published November 4, 2013","Książka T. Majkowskiego jest propozycją, której naukowa doniosłość w aktualnym literaturoznawstwie (i kulturoznawstwie) polskim nie może budzić wątpliwości. Najszerzej rzecz ujmując, jest to nadzwyczaj ambitna - i nadzwyczaj udana - próba monograficznego ujęcia dziejów całościowo widzianego gatunku literackiego fantasy. Ujęcia właściwie kompletnego, gdy chodzi o opis wewnętrznych semiotycznych mechanizmów i zasad gatunkowych, a także o rozpoznanie jego znaczących odmian oraz tendencji ewolucyjnych, a zadowalająco wyczerpującego, gdy chodzi o uwzględnienie faktycznego materiału literackiego, stanowiącego jego artystyczne przejawy. (…)Niewiele znajdziemy we całym światowym literaturoznawstwie ostatniego półwiecza pozycji, które z podobną materiałowo-interpretacyjną skrzętnością i zarazem teoretyczną konsekwencją, niemal monograficznie ujmowałyby jakikolwiek gatunek literacki. (…) Tytułowe Białe Drzewo to oczywiście Białe Drzewo Gondoru. Czyli: Władca pierścieni. Czyli: Tolkien. Umieszczone w tytule, ""drzewo"" to mówi na wstępie najważniejsze o zawartości całej książki. Tolkien jest w niej traktowany jako najwyższy patron gatunku, a jego dzieło jako ""prototypowe jądro gatunkowe"", choć wcale nie on był gatunku tego prekursorem, a nawet założycielem. On jednak związał wiele nurtów i wątków wcześniejszych i równoczesnych, dzięki niemu wiele późniejszych mogło dołączyć do krystalizującej się formy i spowodować jej zróżnicowanie, zrodzić dalsze warianty. Literatura fantasy dojrzała i niepomiernie rozrosła się, rozkrzewiła i rozdrzewiła w cieniu Tolkienowskiego Drzewa. Ale, jak wiemy, Drzewo Gondoru w czasoprzestrzeni całej trylogii pozostaje martwe, uschnięte. Odrodzi się, być może, w jakiejś innej czasoprzestrzeni odrodzonego Gondoru, ale już całkowicie poza eposem Tolkiena. A do tego przecież sprowadza się, jak napisałem, główna historycznoliteracka konkluzja dociekań Majkowskiego: poza życiodajnym cieniem eposu Tolkiena gatunkowi fantasy zagraża martwota, uschnięcie, lub przekształcenie się w jakieś inne formy. To mówi już na wstępie - bezsłownie - głos w przestrzeni międzytekstowej. Głos intertekstualny. (…) Z recenzji wydawniczej prof. dr hab. Stanisława Balbusa",12

"The Music of What Happens: Celtic Spirituality, A View from the Inside",John J. O'Riordain,4.17,Spirituality,"First published January 1, 1996","From the rear cover:""Celtic spirituality is often spoken of as something ancient, remote and in need of re-discovery. John. J. O'Riordain, however, speaks of it as a lived experience even in modern Ireland. Reading some of the literary legacy of the Blasket Islands, including Peig Sayers, leads one to ask 'From where does all this spiritual richness spring?' The question leads to an investigation of the Celtic world as it emerged on continental Europe around 1,000 BC, to the Celts' eventual absorption of the Christian message in the Ireland of the fifth century, the blossoming of what is now called 'Celtic spirituality' during the early middle ages, and its survival down to the present day.Fr O'Riordain speaks of one of the key characteristics of both Christian and pre-Christian Celtic spirituality as being its communal emphasis. For Christians, this community life is further enhanced by a keen awareness of being part of a greater community of saints gathered around the throne of Goodness, ever united in praising and thanking the creator God who is revealed in Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Against this background, living reflectively in the present moment makes sweet music of everything that happens.""",12

Freunde,Hermann Hesse,3.73,Fiction,,"von Wikipedia:Hans Calwer, Erwin Mühletal und Heinrich Wirth studieren in Heidelberg Philologie. Die drei jungen Männer suchen ihre Bestimmung. Der Bauernsohn Heinrich geht den Weg, den Buddha ging. „Unabhängigkeit von Lust und Reizen des äußeren Lebens“ ist ihm notwendige Vorbedingung für „ernstliches geistiges Leben“. Erwin schimpft Heinrich einen „Kohlrabifresser“. Erwin findet eine Berlinerin, will sich mit ihr verloben und vielleicht in Leipzig Medizin studieren. Hans lebt abstinent wie sein vier Jahre älteres Vorbild Heinrich. Jedoch hält er nicht durch. Er vermisst seine Zigaretten und das Klavierspiel. Hans möchte einen Sonderweg gehen. Er hat „ein angeborenes Verhältnis zum Schönen, keinem Zwecke dienenden, zur Kunst“. Also führt Hermann Hesse anhand von Erwin und Heinrich vor, was ein Künstler nicht ist und anhand von Hans, was ein junger Künstler sein kann.Die langjährige Freundschaft der beiden Studenten Hans und Erwin, die seit der Schulzeit hält, bröckelt arg, als Hans, angewidert vom geselligen Studentenleben, sang- und klanglos das Kommersbuch hinwirft und sich von der Verbindung trennt. Erwin will Hans nicht nachlaufen. Nach dem Eklat bangt er, Hans zu begegnen. Erwin verbleibt im Konvent und verfolgt misstrauisch und später sogar neidisch, wie sich Hans zu dem Vegetarier Heinrich hingezogen fühlt. Als sich Hans immer mehr von Erwin abwendet, gerät die heile Welt vollends aus den Fugen. Erwin lernt im verrufenen Blauen Husaren abtrünnige Studenten und Fräulein Elvira, die Tochter der Wirtin, kennen. Mit der Zeit gerät er unter Elviras Gewalt. Die Abhängigkeit gipfelt in beträchtlichen Zechschulden. Erwin kann sich vermöge seines Schwagers, eines biederen Kaufmanns, aus der Umklammerung lösen, wendet sich wieder ganz seinem Burschenkonvent zu und steigt in der Burschenherrlichkeit auf. In den Semesterferien kleidet er sich neu ein und findet zu Hause seine spätere Verlobte. Viel schwerer macht es sich Hans.

Essai sur la nature du commerce en général,Richard Cantillon,4.11,Economics,"First published January 1, 1755","Richard Cantillon is one of the key figures in the early history of economics. He was certainly not the first to think about economic problems, but he was the first to have clear insight into the way the economy functions as a system. He was arguably the first to structure a theory of how the economy works. In this sense he could be called the first real economist. Today, his ideas on population, determination of prices, wages and interest, the role of the entrepreneur, banking, and the influence of money supply on the economy are increasingly quoted and appreciated. This is a translation of the ssai sur la nature du commerce en gnral his only surviving work. It was circulated in manuscript form for many years after his death and was extremely influential, albeit not well known, at least throughout the eighteenth century. Essays on the Nature of Commerce in General shaped the development of economics through its formative influence on Franois Quesnay and Adam Smith. It is a cornerstone upon which all subsequent economic theory has been built. Transaction is proud to breathe new life into this classic work as part of its distinguished series in economic theory and history. In his new introduction, Anthony Brewer showcases Cantillon, the prophetic thinker, for a new generation of readers. This volume's broad-based appeal and great cultural import can no longer afford to be overlooked. Students of economic theory, intellectual historians, and sociologists will find this volume indispensable.",104

Figli per sempre,Ivana Castoldi,3.25,,"First published May 26, 2005","Ormai varcata la soglia dell'età adulta, i figli cresciuti si raccontano ai genitori, per dare voce al travaglio emotivo che ha accompagnato il processo della loro emancipazione. I guasti prodotti dall'incomprensione e dalla latitanza degli adulti, così come gli effetti positivi della loro adeguatezza di educatori, vengono analizzati e descritti attraverso il filtro delle parole di quei figli, ormai cresciuti, che hanno sviluppato un'autonomia di giudizio e, talvolta, sono giunti a formulare un'impietosa condanna. Il bisogno di credere alla ""bontà"" dei genitori e di affidarsi alla loro ""lealtà"" è un'aspettativa irrinunciabile. I minori sono portatori di un fondamentale bisogno di giustizia e di un senso etico molto sviluppato, che può rispondere a criteri significativamente differenti da quelli in vigore nel mondo degli adulti. Molto spesso gli adulti, magari più per un malinteso senso di protezione che per autoritarismo, trascurano di incoraggiare i figli verso l'acquisizione di uno spazio personale di autonomia, non rispettando la loro identità e le loro genuine aspirazioni. Si tratta di un libro sull'adolescenza assolutamente nuovo sia nel racconto sia per il montaggio dei documenti. Tutti noi abbiamo avuto modo di rivivere la nostra adolescenza, interrogandoci sui passaggi chiave della nostra crescita, ripensando al ruolo assunto dai nostri genitori e a come il loro intervento sia stato in taluni casi essenziale per le nostre scelte. Ripensare ci permette di non rifare gli stessi errori nel rapportarci ai nostri figli, che seppure vivano condizioni diverse molto più permeate di tecnologia di quanto lo sia stata la generazione precedente, alla fine condividono le stesse strutture emozionali.",8

På hospitalet kæmper hun med tanker om døden, og hun er bange for, der ikke er en fremtid for hende. Anna er også bange for at sove, for i hendes mere og mere mareridtagtige drømme møder hun forvirrende kræfter i skikkelser af en ond dommer og et mystisk, hvidt rådyr. Eneste trøst, når hun ligger alene med sine drømme, er hendes løjerligt udseende plysgiraf, som Anna har fået af sin savnede, afdøde mormor. En nat får Anna imidlertid besøg af feen Timian. Hun fortæller, at Anna er noget ganske særligt, og at der er brug for hendes hjælp i Lysvrang, en magisk verden i lysets tjeneste. Og som ved et trylleslag forandres alting, da Timian vækker Annas elskede plysgiraf til live og åbner den magiske port ind til Lysvrang.

Outside In: The Power of Putting Customers at the Center of Your Business,Harley Manning,3.92,Business,"First published August 28, 2012","What simple innovation brought billions in new investments to Fidelity? What basic misunderstanding was preventing Office Depot from achieving its growth potential? What surprising insights helped the Mayo Clinic better serve both doctors and patients?
The solution in each case was a focus on customer experience, the most powerful—and misunderstood—element of corporate strategy today.Customer experience is, quite simply, how your customers perceive their every interaction with your company. It’s a fundamental business driver. Here’s proof: over a recent five-year period during which the S&P 500 was flat, a stock portfolio of customer experience leaders grew twenty-two percent.In an age when customers have access to vast amounts of data about your company and its competitors, customer experience is the only sustainable source of competitive advantage. But how to excel at it?Based on fourteen years of research by the customer experience leaders at Forrester Research, Outside In offers a complete roadmap to attaining the experience advantage. It starts with the concept of the Customer Experience Ecosystem—proof that the roots of customer experience problems lie not just with customer-facing employees like your sales staff, but with behind-the-scenes employees like accountants, lawyers, and programmers, as well as the policies, processes, and technologies that all your employees use every day. Identifying and solving these problems has the potential to dramatically increase sales and decrease costs.",804

Branca dos Mortos e os Sete Zumbis e Outros Contos Macabros,Fábio Yabu,3.73,Fantasy,"First published November 5, 2013","'Você acredita em contos de fadas?' Pergunta Eduardo Spohr no prefácio. E continua, 'Alguma coisa me diz que até o final deste livro você passará a acreditar.' Para que o feitiço Yabu dê certo, é necessário que esqueça tudo o que você sabe sobre contos de fadas. Branca de Neve não é apenas uma jovem ingênua, mas também uma implacável caçadora de zumbis. Cinderela guarda um terrível segredo, que selará seu destino para sempre. Rapunzel está longe de ser uma reles menina isolada numa torre. E a morte da Pequena Vendedora de Fósforos revela uma tradição macabra de morte e psicopatia que vai muito além de uma inocente história infantil. Em 'Branca dos Mortos e os sete zumbis', Fábio Yabu resgata a tradição clássica dos contos de fadas dos irmãos Grimm e de Hans Christian Andersen, onde as histórias, mais que um simples entretenimento, servem como lições para moldar o caráter das crianças, na maior parte das vezes por meio do medo. Aqui, não há meias-palavras nem eufemismos. O mundo encantado de Yabu é atormentado, sombrio e com altas doses de tensão sexual. Os contos seguem o mote de sucessos da televisão, como as séries 'Grimm' e 'Once Upon a Time'. Protagonizadas por personagens dos contos de fadas, revelam facetas nunca antes imaginadas de suas personalidades. Além disso, os doze contos que compõem 'Branca dos Mortos e os sete zumbis' formam uma narrativa não-linear que culmina num desfecho aterrorizante. A obra ainda conta com as ilustrações de Michel Borges, que acompanha o autor desde seus primeiros projetos. As ilustrações de Michel homenageiam os desenhos clássicos dos contos de fadas, com toques sombrios, e complementam a atmosfera sinistra e misteriosa criada por Yabu.",289

An ocean than was not always friendly.After writing down his thoughts, day after day, he made us feel what all this time in the sea, alone, meant for him: 'it was as though the world of lands above sea level suddenly had disappeared.' Indeed, when time becomes endless we are able to understand what really matters in the life on a man. Alex learned that the value of a man cannot be judged measuring his successes, but with the dreams that keep him alive.

Hymns on Paradise,Ephrem the Syrian,4.5,Poetry,"Published March 1, 1997","St Ephrem the Syrian's cycle of 15 Hymns on Paradise offers a fine example of Christian poetry, in which the author weaves a profound theological synthesis around a particular Biblical narrative. Centered on Genesis 2 and 3, he expresses his awareness of the sacramental character of the created world, and of the potential of everything in the created world to act as a witness and pointer to the creator. God's two witnesses, says Ephrem, are: 'Nature, through man's use of it, [and] Scripture, through his reading it."" In his writing, Ephrem posits an inherent link between the material and spiritual worlds. St Ephrem's mode of theological discussion is essentially Biblical and Semitic in character. He uses types and symbols to express connections or relationships to 'reveal' something that is otherwise 'hidden,' particularly expressing meanings between the Old Testament and the New, between this world and the heavenly, between the New Testament and the sacraments, and between the sacraments and the eschaton. Because his theology is not tied to a particular cultural or philosophical background, but operates by means of imagery and symbolism basic to all human experience, his theological vision expressed in his hymns has a freshness and immediacy today that few other theological works from the early Christian period can hope to achieve. the Holy Mountain. Hymns on Paradise is part of the POPULAR PATRISTIC SERIES.",232

Filosofin sydän,Jean-Luc Nancy,3.67,,"First published January 1, 2010","Klassisessa metafysiikassa ruumis on kiihottava mutta koskematon pakkomielle – se on filosofian itsepintaisimman halun kohde, paikka, jossa toisistaan erotetut henki ja liha kohtaavat. Teoksessaan Corpus Jean-Luc Nancy tarkastelee filosofian suhdetta ruumiiseen. Millaista ajattelua tarvitaan, jotta filosofia suostuisi puhumaan ideoiden maailman sijasta ruumiiden maailmasta? Nancy kehittelee koskemisen ja tuntemisen ajattelua sekä luo käsitteistöä, jolla ruumiista ja koskettamisesta voitaisiin puhua.Kirjoituksessaan Tunkeilija Nancy kertoo sydänsiirrostaan ja taistelustaan syövän kanssa. Nuo molemmat saavat aikaan kokemuksen identiteetin hajoamisesta ja moninaistumisesta. Mistä tuntee vieraan, mistä omimman? Entä minä, miten sille käy? Nancy pohtii kokemuksiaan filosofisesti ja runollisesti tarjoten kiehtovia näkökulmia vierauteen ja identiteettiin sekä niiden rajojen sekoittumiseen.”Kuka muu tässä maailmassa tuntee jotain ”ruumiin” kaltaista? Se on vanhan kulttuurimme myöhäisin, pisimpään saostettu, jalostettu, puettu ja taas yhteen koottu tuote. Jos Länsi on putoaminen – ”laskeva” on ”länttä” tarkoittavan latinan sanan ”occidens” perusmerkitys – niin ruumis on sen vimeinen paino, tässä putoamisessa heilahtavan punnuksen ääreisasento. Ruumis on painavuus.” (Corpus)Jean-Luc Nancy (s. 1940) on filosofian professori Strasbourgin yliopistossa. Hänen omaperäisen ajattelunsa taustalla on mannermaisen filosofian perinne, erityisesti Martin Heideggerin filosofia. Nancy vierailee Suomessa kevään 2010 aikana.Nancy katsotaan useimmiten postmodernismin ja tarkemmin dekonstruktion perinteen edustajaksi. Hänen ajatteluunsa on vaikuttanut erityisesti Jacques Derrida, ja Nancy myös opiskeli filosofiaa Derridan oppilaana. Kiinnostus Derridan ohella Martin Heideggerin, Maurice Blanchot’n, Georges Bataillen, Louis Althusserin, Gilles Deleuzen, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthen, René Descartesin, Immanuel Kantin, G. W. F. Hegelin, Friedrich Hölderlinin ja Friedrich Nietzschen teksteihin sekä politiikkaan, teknologiaan, teologiaan, globalisaatioon ja taiteeseen synnyttivät Nancylle käsityksen pirstaloituneesta maailmasta, joka ei palaudu moderniin tieteelliseen filosofiaan. Tätä heijastaa esimerkiksi Nancyn kysymys siitä, miten yhdessä oleminen on nykypäivänä mahdollista: miten voimme puhua ”meistä” ilman ajatusta yhteisestä olemuksesta tai jaetusta identiteetistä? Tässä mielessä kyse on moninaisuuden ja hajautuneisuuden itsensä ajattelusta, joka Nancyn mukaan esittää puolestaan vaatimuksen filosofiankirjoitukselle.",3

Naar het hart van Borneo. Het verslag van een reis met James Fenton in 1983 naar de bergen van Batu Tiban,Redmond O'Hanlon,4.01,Travel,"First published January 1, 1984","Redmond O'Hanlon schreef een klassiek reisboek: een zeer lange tocht over de rivier tot diep in het hart van de jungle, op weg naar een nog niet geëxploreerde bergketen. Een bijkomend doel van de tocht was het lokaliseren van de op Borneo nog voorkomende rinoceros. Drie Dajakgidsen vergezelden de beide expeditieleden en spelen een belangrijke rol in het boek. De expeditie werd ondersteund door het British Museum, Harvard University en de universiteit van Oxford.Ondanks deze klinkende namen is O'Hanlons boek echter verre van zwaarwichtig. De Engelse pers reageerde enthousiast op de humoristische verteltrant van dit unieke boek. Een aanmerkelijk deel van het boek beschrijft de reis langs de grotendeels onbekende Baleh rivier. Hier zijn flora en fauna nog ongerept en is de jungle onaangetast. In de laatste hoofdstukken geeft de auteur een beeld van het leven in Borneo zoals zich dat nu afspeelt: een jonge onderwijzer beklaagt zich over het gebrek aan visie van Engeland dat het beurzenstelsel heeft afgeschaft, waarvan hij graag had willen profiteren. Als de expeditie ten slotte het gebied bereikt van de befaamde Ukit-stam worden de blanke expeditieleden al gauw omringd door opgewonden jongeren, die weinig geïmponeerd zijn door de ouderen van de stam en liever de laatste discodans leren.Rond de eeuwwisseling kreeg Borneo veel aandacht van ontdekkingsreizigers, maar vooral toen Nieuw Guinea sterk in de belangstelling kwam, raakte Borneo meer en meer op de achtergrond. O'Hanlons boek is dus een welkome aanvulling.Cover design: Joost van de Woestijne","2,656"

Eisenhower and Zhukov: Cold War Heroes,Albert Axell,3.5,,"First published October 12, 2012","During the precarious decade of the 1950s when there was fear and loathing between the United States and the Soviet Union, there existed an extraordinary friendship between President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Marshal Georgy K. Zhukov. This friendship was truly a Cold War phenomenon.The marshal had been Stalin's most brilliant wartime commander. The two became instant friends after the war. Most books about Eisenhower either fail to mention this bona fide friendship or dismiss it in a single sentence or paragraph. But there is evidence in these pages that the vigor of the Ike-Zhukov friendship, augmented by Eisenhower's eye-opening visit to war-ravaged Russia in August 1945, where Zhukov was his genial host, had a salutary effect on the way Ike viewed the Soviet Union.During Ike's presidency he was continually surrounded by hawks who called for the extinction of Red Russia using hydrogen bombs. Instead, Ike was determined to avoid a nuclear confrontation with Moscow.In mid-August 1958 senior United States Air force officers recommended dropping 10-to-15-kiloton nuclear bombs on targets in China in the event Beijing blockaded the straits between Taiwan and the Chinese mainland. But President Dwight D. ""Ike"" Eisenhower ruled out the nuclear option, according to a Pentagon document declassified early in the New Millennium.At a Cabinet meeting called by President Eisenhower to discuss the threat of a Chinese blockade of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's Taiwan bastion, Air Force General Nathan F. Twining, Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, gave his proposal on the magnitude of retaliation by the United States: ""At the outset American planes would drop [nuclear] bombs on selected fields in the vicinity of Amoy"", a coastal city on the Taiwan Straits now called Xiamen. Hearing this proposal, ""President Eisenhower simply did not accept the contention that nuclear weapons were as conventional as high explosives,"" according to a declassified Air Force history of the danger confronting Taiwan during the Cold War decade of the 1950s. In discussing the new document, William Burr of George Washington University's National Security Archive said Eisenhower's decision caused U.S. Air Force officials at that time to think more seriously about conventional warfare instead of focusing on nuclear arms.An anomaly during that precarious decade was the existence of a genuine Russo-American friendship between Eisenhower and Marshal Georgy K. Zhukov who had been Russia's most distinguished military man in World War Two. There is evidence on these pages that the Ike-Zhukov friendship, augmented by Eisenhower's early postwar visit to Russia where Zhukov was his genial guide, was one of several factors behind Ike's decision to avoid a nuclear confrontation with China and the Soviet Union.",2

Lettere. Edizione integrale 1941-1943,Etty Hillesum,4.4,History,"First published January 1, 1981","Il Diario di Etty Hillesum ha commosso i lettori di tutto il mondo, ed è ormai considerato fra le testimonianze più alte delle vittime della persecuzione nazista. Ora la versione integrale delle Lettere, scritte in gran parte dal lager di Westerbork – dove Etty andò di sua spontanea volontà, per portare soccorso e amore agli internati, e per «aiutare Dio» a non morire in loro –, ci permette di udire la sua voce fino all'ul­timo, fino alla cartolina gettata dal vagone merci che la conduce ad Auschwitz: «Ab­biamo lasciato il campo cantando». A Wes­terbork Etty vive «l'inferno degli altri», senza «illusioni eroiche», recando parole vere là dove il linguaggio è degradato a gergo, là dove i fossati del rancore dividono gli stessi prigionieri, contrapponendo ebrei olandesi a ebrei tedeschi. La resistenza al male si compie in lei attraverso l'amicizia – nata nel campo o mantenuta viva con chi è rimasto libero e manda viveri e lettere –, attraverso la fede e grazie ai libri (come le poesie di Rilke) e alla natura: anche sopra le baracche corrono le nuvole e volano i gabbiani e brilla l'Orsa Maggiore. Per scrivere la storia del lager ci sarebbe voluto un poeta, non bastava la nuda cronaca, aveva detto un giorno un internato a Etty.

American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History,Chris Kyle,4.03,Nonfiction,"First published January 3, 2012","This special enhanced edition features more than 10 exclusive videos and an additional 15 images and descriptions of the weapons used by the armed forces in their fight against terrorism overseas.From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyles kills (the previous American record was 109), but it has declined to verify the astonishing total number for this book. Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan (“the devil”) and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle earned legendary status among his fellow SEALs, Marines, and U.S. Army soldiers, whom he protected with deadly accuracy from rooftops and stealth positions. Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle’s masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time.A native Texan who learned to shoot on childhood hunting trips with his father, Kyle was a champion saddle-bronc rider prior to joining the Navy. After 9/11, he was thrust onto the front lines of the War on Terror, and soon found his calling as a world-class sniper who performed best under fire. He recorded a personal-record 2,100-yard kill shot outside Baghdad; in Fallujah, Kyle braved heavy fire to rescue a group of Marines trapped on a street; in Ramadi, he stared down insurgents with his pistol in close combat. Kyle talks honestly about the pain of war—of twice being shot and experiencing the tragic deaths of two close friends.American Sniper also honors Kyles fellow warriors, who raised hell on and off the battlefield. And in moving first-person accounts throughout, Kyles wife, Taya, speaks openly about the strains of war on their marriage and children, as well as on Chris.Adrenaline-charged and deeply personal, American Sniper is a thrilling eyewitness account of war that only one man could tell.Please note that due to the large file size of these special features this enhanced e-book may take longer to download then a standard e-book.","135,267"

Мой путь,Dalai Lama XIV,4.01,Buddhism,"First published April 1, 2001","His Holiness the Dalai Lama is celebrated as Buddhism’s preeminent spiritual master and teacher, embodying the highest aspirations of this rich tradition that is more than 2,500 years old. With both profundity and simplicity, he has carried the nuanced teachings of the Buddha to the far corners of the globe, and in the process has touched and transformed millions of lives. Like the Buddha himself, the Dalai Lama, with his ever-smiling face, reaches out to people in ways that connect to their individual mental dispositions, abilities, and everyday realities. Buddhism, which never seeks to proselytize, has been made accessible by the Dalai Lama to both non-Buddhists and Buddhists alike so that we may all learn from one of the most valuable strands of our shared heritage. This fascinating book brings together extracts from some of His Holiness’s most powerful writings and talks. As he explains the elements of the Buddha’s teachings and the basic practices of meditation, he also engages and reconciles the innovations of modern science with Buddhist perspectives. Ultimately, His Holiness calls for the celebration of diversity and the recognition of interdependence that breeds a sense of Universal Responsibility—which must govern all of our relationships in this increasingly fragmented world. Serving as the perfect introduction to the Dalai Lama’s philosophy, both Buddhist and secular, An Introduction to the Dalai Lama is just the book for gleaning insights into the mind of one of the world’s greatest spiritual icons.",557

Anyjától elhidegült, bátyja a saját szenvedélye rabja, így Mirandának nincs kihez fordulnia segítségért… kivéve Ryan Boldarit, a vonzó műkincsrablót. A közös érdek szövetségbe kényszeríti őket. Hamarosan arra is fény derül, hogy a maine-i támadás nem puszta véletlen műve, és hogy a Sötét hölgynek legalább annyi a titka, mint hajdani ihletőjének. Miranda csak magára támaszkodhat… és kényszerű üzlettársára, aki azonban egyszerre tölti el nyugtalanító gyanakvással és lángoló szenvedéllyel. A hazafelé vezető út kettejük számára csalással, árulással és megannyi veszéllyel van kikövezve…","17,271"

Helen conta que, muito embora a história a amargurasse por dentro, ela mal podia esperar para acordar todos os dias e sentar-se à mesa de trabalho: ""Quanto você escreve sobre a morte de alguém, trava uma luta contra um desejo enorme de suavizar a história, torna-la mais sentimental. Mas durante todo o processo eu ataquei radicalmente o que escrevia, tentando sempre manter a clareza da ideia original.

Üks pole ühtegi = One is none,Kätlin Kaldmaa,3.58,Poetry,"First published January 1, 2008","Poetry. Translated from the Estonian by Miriam McIlfatrick-Ksenofontov. Katlin Kaldmaa's ONE IS NONE, translated into English by Miriam McIlfatrick-Ksenofontov, will dazzle readers with its frank, erotic explorations of love and despair. Kaldmaa is a poet of grace and elegance, yet she is also playful and mischievous- whether writing about love or social responsibility. Having herself translated many authors (and from many different languages) into Estonian, it is no surprise that Kaldmaa's poems are global in their scope- nor that she, at the same time, breaks down notions of nationhood, in a series of poems about lovers from different countries. Through humor and love, Kaldmaa explores and illuminates what it means to be human.""",12

Cherokee Spleen,David  Elliott,4.21,,"First published November 9, 2013","When you’ve had four near-death experiences, you have to wonder who’s screwing up: you or God. Step inside the mind of Andy Penny, underachieving 40-year old Florida trailer park resident, perpetual dead-end employee, and uninterested survivor. Revel in Andy’s existence as he uses his near-death experiences as small talk but never truly wonders why he’s still alive. Then, watch through Andy’s inebriated eyes as he sees an episode of Cops filmed in Des Moines, Iowa. Feel the complete and total shock as Andy realizes the meth-addicted domestic abuse victim he’s watching is none other than Allyson Price – his “it girl.” His one that got away. His one true love, Allyson, who disappeared from his life suddenly and completely one night a dozen years earlier, a night Andy was run over by a car. Commiserate with Andy as a wave of introspection nearly drowns him, and he comes to the realization that maybe he hasn’t been just not dying. Feel the epiphany when it occurs to him that maybe he’s been kept alive – for a purpose. Steel yourself with Andy’s resolve as he enlists the help of his fiery neighbor Rudy to embark upon a crusade to fulfill this newfound purpose: saving Allyson Price from her squalid existence. Ride along on the journey north, armed with white trash courage, random fortune cookies, Rudy’s unorthodox means of providing for them, and the gearshift from a '95 Jeep Wrangler. Keep yourself focused as events get increasingly ominous and surreal along the way, and, whatever you do, hold on tight as Andy’s story culminates in some dumpy trailer somewhere. And don’t forget: nobody ever listens. Part black comedy, part psychological thriller, Cherokee Spleen is a fast-paced, darkly humorous story of one barely-alive slacker’s search for purpose in a world where there seems to be none.",14

They present materials bydescribing their fundamental characteristics, and go on to identify and suggest howthese same characteristics can be exploited by professionals to achieve their designgoals. Here, the wealth of technical understanding already available in the materialsscience and engineering literature is at last made accessible to a design audience.",11

Blues di mezz'autunno,Santo Piazzese,2.88,,"First published October 31, 2013","Lorenzo La Marca, lo svagato detective dei gialli palermitani di Santo Piazzese, si trova ad Erice, ad un workshop del Centro Ettore Majorana. Mentre gironzola qui e là in cerca di riparo dalla inesorabilità del sole e dei colleghi, fa un incontro inatteso: l’amico dei primi anni di Biologia. Rizzitano, si chiamava, ed era sempre stato tanto capace di navigare tra uomini e donne quanto La Marca era impacciato. La rievocazione inevitabile s’impunta su una zona della memoria evidentemente sensibile: l’isola della Spada dei Turchi.E qui cambia la scena. L’ironia e il parlare per allusione e contrasti, tipici della spavalderia autocritica del personaggio, si modula, a poco a poco, al tono del ricordo. La mente torna agli inizi di La Marca, il ritratto del personaggio da giovane.Un pugno di anni di tanto tempo prima, studente alle prime armi, il suo professore, per studiare certi pesci, lo imbarcava su un peschereccio, il Santa Ninfa. Navigando con gente di mare, gli era piaciuto scoprire cose immaginate sui libri di scienze e di avventura ma, una volta, s’era invaghito di un’isola della costa siciliana, la Spada. Ci vivevano «gli stravaganti» – così gli altri isolani chiamavano la colonia di individui finiti là, ognuno venuto da lontano, ognuno per ragioni diverse, qualcuno a viverci stabilmente, altri a ricercare periodicamente se stessi. Gravitavano intorno a un bar dal nome incongruo, fondato nel dopoguerra da un friulano precipitato in quello scoglio insieme alla moglie bellissima. Ma non si può dire che fossero un gruppo, sembrando tutti lasciati lì dalla risacca della vita.O così piace immaginare a La Marca che comincia a carezzare discretamente le storie e i segreti di quel pezzo di mondo, così angusto per i corpi e sconfinato per le menti, che lo illude che il suo centro autentico sia lì. Fino a quando un fatto vero vi precipita e un segreto vero si squarcia. Come se La Marca l’avesse desiderato e temuto insieme, per molto tempo.In questo lungo racconto di mare e di costa, calibratissimo tra l’ironia la nostalgia e la tensione, si narra insieme la formazione di un uomo e la nascita di un personaggio, l’una attraverso l’altra reciprocamente, esercizio di letteratura e di letteratura sulla letteratura. Il cui cuore pulsante potrebbe essere la forza ambigua del mistero, di cui si spera e si teme la soluzione.",98

Leczenie uzależnionego umysłu,Lee Jampolsky,4.1,Psychology,"First published January 1, 1991","Skłonność do uzależnień tkwi w nas równie mocno jak umiłowanie wolności. Większość ludzi jest mniej lub bardziej uzależniona od używek, od telewizji, od seksu, od rodziny, od pracy, od pozycji społecznej, wreszcie od obrazu własnej osoby. Tragedią narkomanów i alkoholików jest to, że znaleźli się w niewoli substancji szczególnie destrukcyjnych dla ich zdrowia i społecznego funkcjonowania, i tylko to ich odróżnia od maniaków pracy, palaczy tytoniu czy osób przewrażliwionych na punkcie swojego ja. Jeżeli wziąć pod uwagę mechanizm uzależnienia, a nie jego przedmiot, to mało kto z nas jest prawdziwie wolny - oto główna teza tej książki. Dlatego może być ona pomocna nie tylko dla osób wychodzących z uzależnienia od leków, narkotyków i alkoholu...",48

De Vertrouweling,Eric Van Lustbader,3.41,Fiction,"First published February 16, 2010","The electrifying follow-up to the Jack McClure thriller First Daughter from the New York Times bestselling author of The Bourne Sanction and The Bourne Deception.
Jack McClure, Special Advisor and closest friend to the new President of the United States, interprets the world very differently from the rest of us. It’s his greatest liability, and his greatest asset.An American senator, supposedly on a political trip to the Ukraine, turns up dead on the island of Capri. When the President asks him to find out how and why, Jack sets out from Moscow across Eastern Europe, following a perilous trail of diplomats, criminals, and corrupt politicians. Thrust into the midst of a global jigsaw puzzle, Jack’s unique dyslexic mind allows him to put together the pieces that others can’t even see.Still unreconciled to the recent death of his daughter and the dissolution of his marriage, Jack takes on a personal mission along with his official one: keeping safe from harm his two unlikely, unexpected, and incompatible companions—Annika Dementieva, a rogue Russian FSB agent, and Alli Carson, the President’s daughter. As he struggles to keep both young women safe and unearth the answers he seeks, hunted by everyone from the Russian mafia to the Ukrainian police to his own NSA, Jack learns just how far up the American and Russian political ladders corruption and treachery has reached.In the vein of Eric Van Lustbader’s latest bestselling Jason Bourne novels, Lustbader takes us on an international adventure in this powerful page-turner that will keep you reading through the night.","1,257"

Il sogno e l'approdo: Racconti di stranieri in Sicilia,Maria Attanasio,4.0,,"First published January 1, 2009","«La Sicilia taglia in due il Mediterraneo» scriveva Braudel per spiegare il destino storico dell’Isola: di crocevia di strade di mare, di incroci di viaggi e approdi provvisori. È forse difficile, prima di tutto per i siciliani stessi, immaginarsi come terra di semplici immigrati, come immobile luogo di accoglienza. Più naturale vedersi come terra di stranieri, in cui nuovi approdi aggiungono altre lontananze alla lontananza essenziale, nuovi esotismi ai già esistenti. In cui il viaggio per arrivare si interseca con altri viaggi, senza concludersi con un definitivo arrivo. Per questo, quando si è chiesto a sei famosi scrittori siciliani di scrivere un racconto ciascuno sul tema dello straniero e il Mediterraneo, con al centro la Sicilia, nessuno di loro ha scelto la cifra realistica, personaggi e vicende ordinari, ma tutti hanno giocato con l’associazione tra l’essere stranieri in Sicilia e il perdersi, e l’indefinito, il cercare di sospenderne il tempo, il sogno. Maria Attanasio racconta di un condominio fantascientifico, una specie di utopia negativa in cui una donna estraniata si ritrova prigioniera. Giosuè Calaciura immagina un approdo sognato di migranti che sfocia nella visione disperata, nell’allucinazione. Davide Camarrone mette sulla bocca di una donna-memoria la vicenda di un giornalista (un figlio di immigrati cittadino italiano) che vuole ripercorrere la strada dei suoi fratelli verso la Sicilia e si perde nelle nuove Auschwitz che ci fronteggiano ancora con la domanda di Primo Levi: chiedetevi se questo è un uomo. Santo Piazzese ricorda un verosimile viaggio segreto nella «luccicante oscurità», forse per espiare forse per seduzione, del fisico danese Niels Bohr a Palermo. Gaetano Savatteri raffigura un vecchio senatore Alessandro Manzoni a cui raccontano di una colonna infame eretta poca fa in Sicilia. Lilia Zaouali inscena una commedia degli equivoci piena si speranza sull’«orientalismo», cioè sui costumi dell’Oriente immaginati dagli occidentali, ma stavolta l’invenzione e la proiezione di un tradizionalismo esotico avvengono tra una figlia che vive a Palermo e la madre tunisina venuta in visita.",4

Faisons la grève du sexe,Aristophanes,3.87,Plays,"First published January 1, 424","Aristophanes, a native Athenian and the leading exponent of Greek comedy, was born c. 450 BCE. Today forty-three of his plays are known by title; eleven survive. The most famous of these is the whimsical fantasy Lysistrata .A perennial classroom and stage favorite as well as the basis of Spike Lee's Chi-Raq , the play is as relevant today as it was 2,500 years ago. The premise is simplicity to end the Peloponnesian War, women decide to withhold sex from their husbands until the fighting stops.The play is by turns raucous, bawdy, frantic, and funny. David Mulroy's exciting new translation retains the original's verse format, racy jokes, and vibrancy-setting it apart from previous efforts, which are typically reproduced as prose or depart from meaning and meter. His introduction offers a concise summary of Aristophanes' life and social milieu, including a brief overview of the Peloponnesian War, which took place during the playwright's lifetime. The appendices include guides on translating meter and Greek pronunciation for aspiring thespians.","50,974"

Šioje knygoje sužinosite pagrindines – mokslines, religines, pseudomokslines, sąmokslo – teorijas, kurios kalba apie pasaulio pabaigą. Ši knyga nėra bandymas pagąsdinti, taip pat ji nėra ir pranašų sudėliota instrukcija, kaip turėtume elgtis nelaimės atveju. Vis dėlto ją perskaitę apie pasaulio pabaigą (nesvarbu, ar ji ateis 2012-aisiais, ar vėliau) susidarysite aiškesnį vaizdą, nei turėjote anksčiau. Be to, sužinosite:•	Kodėl kiaulių gripas puola tik darbingo amžiaus žmones, o vaikų ir senelių neliečia?•	Ką apie 2012 m. kalba majų vyresnysis?•	Ką pranašavo V. Kryžanovskaja-Ročester?•	Kodėl pandemijos kyla tuomet, kai smarkiai padaugėja žemės gyventojų?•	Kokios jėgos realiai yra pasidalijusios pasaulį?•	Ar serialas „Dingę“ yra tik fantazijos vaisius?•	Kodėl Michaelas Jacksonas naudingesnis miręs nei gyvas?•	Ką pranašauja dešimtis tūkstančių gyvybių nusinešęs žemės drebėjimas Haityje?•	Ką žino NASA, JAV vyriausybė, taip pat ir Vatikanas, tačiau oficialiai neskelbia?Paanalizavus tiek mokslininkų, tiek religinių tekstų teiginius, prieiname prie vienos išvados: artimu metu žmonijai gresia badas, karas, maras. Tai, apie ką kalba Biblija ir kiti šventraščiai. Ir religijos, ir gyvenimiškoji patirtis sako, jog kaltas pats žmogus – jis skriaudžia artimą, patį save, gamtą. Net jei 2012 metais (o gal kuriais nors kitais) ateitų pasaulio pabaiga – žinokite: taip turi būti. Mes to nusipelnėme. Tačiau šansą gyventi teisingiau, geriau, doriau, žmogiškiau turime. Jau šią akimirką galime pradėti kurti naują, tobulesnį pasaulį – pirmiausia savyje, tada nedidelėje savo aplinkoje, o vėliau pasikeis ir visas pasaulis.",4

Discurso sobre o Espírito Positivo,Auguste Comte,3.22,Philosophy,"First published January 1, 1842","In A General View of Positivism French philosopher Auguste Comte (1798 1857) gives an overview of his social philosophy known as Positivism. Comte, credited with coining the term 'sociology' and one of the first to argue for it as a science, is concerned with reform, progress and the problem of social order in society. In this English edition of the work, published in 1865, he addresses the practical problems of implementing his philosophy or doctrine, as he also refers to Positivism, into society. He believes that society evolves through a series of stages that are ruled by social laws and culminate in a superior form of social life. During this reorganisation of society, which will find its greatest supporters among women and the working class, a 'new moral power' will emerge. Under the motto 'love, order and progress' Comte wishes humanism to replace organised religion as the object of spiritual worship.",362

"1914: Fight The Good Fight: Britain, the Army & the Coming of the First World War",Allan Mallinson,4.0,History,"First published August 29, 2013","In the run up to the centenary of the First World War comes a fascinating and revelatory new history of the origins of the war, of those first few crucial weeks of fighting, and of how Britain and its army fared.      'No part of the Great War compares in interest with its opening'’, wrote Churchill. ‘'The measured, silent drawing together of gigantic forces, the uncertainty of their movements and positions, the number of unknown and unknowable facts made the first collision a drama never surpassed... …in fact the War was decided in the first twenty days of fighting, and all that happened afterwards consisted in battles which, however formidable and devastating, were but desperate and vain appeals against the decision of fate.’'   In this major new history, one of Britain's foremost military historians and defence experts tackles the origins -- and the opening first few weeks of fighting -- of what would become known as 'the war to end all wars'. Intensely researched and convincingly argued, Allan Mallinson explores and explains the grand strategic shift that occurred in the century before the war, the British Army’'s regeneration after its drubbings in its fight against the Boer in South Africa, its almost calamitous experience of the first twenty days’ fighting in Flanders to the point at which the British Expeditionary Force -- the 'Old Contemptibles' -- took up the pick and the spade in the middle of September 1914. For it was then that the war changed from one of rapid and brutal movement into the now familiar image of the trenches and the coming of the Territorials, Kitchener'’s '‘Pals'’, and ultimately the conscripts and of course the poets. And with them, that terrible sense of the pity and of the futility.    Mallinson brings his experience as a professional soldier to bear on the individuals, circumstances and events and the result is a vivid, compelling new history of the beginnings of the Great War that speculates -- tantalizingly -- on what might have been.",68

London Stories,Jerry   White,3.44,Short Stories,"First published March 27, 2013","London has the greatest literary tradition of any city in the world. Its roll-call of story-tellers includes cultural giants who changed the way the world thought about writing, like Shakespeare, Defoe and Dickens. But there has also been an innumerable host of writers who have sought to capture the essence of London and what it meant for the people who lived there or were merely passing through. They found a city of boundless wealth and ragged squalor, of moving tragedy and riotous joy; and they faithfully transcribed what they saw and felt in the stories they told of London town. They are stories of fact and fiction and occasionally something in between. Some voices will be familiar to many readers and others practically unknown. But all give us insights into these writers’ very varied Londons; and all tell their stories gratifyingly well.Authors include John Evelyn, Thomas de Quincey, W. M. Thackeray, Henry Mayhew, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, George Gissing, J. B. Priestley, Jean Rhys, Graham Greene, Muriel Spark, Maeve Binchy, Doris Lessing, Hanif Kureishi and Shena Mackay.",147

Already responsible for several murders, X, Poirot warns, is ready to strike again, and the partners must work swiftly to prevent imminent murder.Poirot’s final case, a mystery which brings him and Hastings back to Styles where they first solved a crime together. The story was both anticipated and dreaded by Agatha Christie fans worldwide, many of whom still refuse to read it, as it is known to contain Poirot’s death.Agatha Christie wrote it during World War II, as a gift for her daughter should she not survive the bombings, and it was kept in a safe for over thirty years. It was agreed among the family that Curtain would be published finally in 1975 by Collins, her long-standing publishers, and that Sleeping Murder (the Marple story written during the war for her husband, Max) would follow.The reception of Poirot’s death was international, even earning him an obituary in The New York Times; he is still the only fictional character to have received such an honour.

"The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food, and Love",Kristin Kimball,4.08,Nonfiction,"First published October 12, 2010","""This book is the story of the two love affairs that interrupted the trajectory of my life: one with farming—that dirty, concupiscent art—and the other with a complicated and exasperating farmer.""Single, thirtysomething, working as a writer in New York City, Kristin Kimball was living life as an adventure. But she was beginning to feel a sense of longing for a family and for home. When she interviewed a dynamic young farmer, her world changed. Kristin knew nothing about growing vegetables, let alone raising pigs and cattle and driving horses. But on an impulse, smitten, if not yet in love, she shed her city self and moved to five hundred acres near Lake Champlain to start a new farm with him. The Dirty Life is the captivating chronicle of their first year on Essex Farm, from the cold North Country winter through the following harvest season—complete with their wedding in the loft of the barn. Kimball and her husband had a plan: to grow everything needed to feed a community. It was an ambitious idea, a bit romantic, and it worked. Every Friday evening, all year round, a hundred people travel to Essex Farm to pick up their weekly share of the ""whole diet""—beef, pork, chicken, milk, eggs, maple syrup, grains, flours, dried beans, herbs, fruits, and forty different vegetables—produced by the farm. The work is done by draft horses instead of tractors, and the fertility comes from compost. Kimball’s vivid descriptions of landscape, food, cooking—and marriage—are irresistible. ""As much as you transform the land by farming,"" she writes, ""farming transforms you."" In her old life, Kimball would stay out until four a.m., wear heels, and carry a handbag. Now she wakes up at four, wears Carhartts, and carries a pocket knife. At Essex Farm, she discovers the wrenching pleasures of physical work, learns that good food is at the center of a good life, falls deeply in love, and finally finds the engagement and commitment she craved in the form of a man, a small town, and a beautiful piece of land.","17,738"

Jansona (bolje poznata kao Janson) od prvog je objavljivanja 1962. g. upoznavala mnoge naraštaje studenata sa širokim svijetom zapadne umjetnosti te nadahnjivala milijune njezinih ljubitelja.Ovo inovativno novo izdanje zadržalo je Jansonov osebujan narativni stil, izrazit stručni autoritet i nenadmašan umjetnički program, ali mu je dodalo nove teme i umjetnička djela koja su danas ključna za proučavanje umjetnosti. Zahvaljujući Jansonovoj elokvenciji i neusporedivoj kvaliteti ilustracija, priča o povijesti umjetnosti ispričana je maestralno, uravnoteženo i duhovito – proširujući našu sposobnost razumijevanja i ocjenjivanja umjetničkih djela. Ovo je izdanje organizirano prema postavkama koje je zacrtao Janson, ali su dodana posebna poglavlja o renesansi u sjevernoj Europi, talijanskoj renesansi, baroknoj umjetnosti i visokoj renesansi, uza stilske podjele za ključna razdoblja modernog doba.

But is this paradise? Nelson doesn't think so. He is still persecuted by the mystery of what happened to the young woman he sent into the night, many years ago.Alma Foster, the young woman in question, was the member of a traveling troupe of musicians that appeared one day in Zion, Iowa, in the early 1960s. She was given shelter in the home of Nelson's family, a trust he betrayed by sneaking into her bedroom. Afraid that Nelson would repeat his predations a second night, Alma flees through the window, to wander the dark streets of Zion.By morning she is gone, forever.Wracked with remorse, Nelson is not the only one who is haunted. The streets and alleys of Zion are filled with the ghosts of those who passed through: the Mormons on their Trail to that greater Zion, runaway slaves on the Underground Railroad to freedom, John Brown, and Jesse James.Before the story is over, and the mystery is solved, Nelson Hannon will encounter these phantoms, too.As one reader comments, the author has blended ""mysticism, religion and history into a beautifully suspenseful tale.""And the words of the hymn ""Land of Pleasure"" sum it up well:'There is a Land of PleasureWhere streams of joy forever roll;That's where I have my treasureAnd where I pray I'll rest my soul.'",2

Language becomes speeding vehicle and joyride in these poems where vocabularies are peripatetic, words are verbed, if not portmanteaued, and lines are gloriously incantatory.

But leaving Warblers Point is not that simple, especially when she is the bar maid at the local pub she owns with her three brothers. After a two year relationship with local Irishman, Murphy Ryan, sharing nothing but each other’s beds, she realizes she wants more out of a relationship besides sex. But somehow she keeps winding up in his arms wishing she could break away but finds the task impossible when her family is head over heels in love of the idea of Murphy and Fiona together. Booker Hall, world re-known director, finds himself living an empty and unfulfilled life. The people around him are fake, narcissistic and only care about his money. In an act of desperation he decides to enlist his sister for some help, give himself a makeover and go to a place where no one would recognize him. Never did he think he was going to fall in love with an unsuspecting bar maid with whiskey colored eyes and an over-bearing family. The minute Fiona lays eyes on Booker, she knows she is sunk. His devilish grin, movie star looks and charming heart are hard to avoid and she constantly finds herself gravitating toward him. The only bad thing about Booker is that he is a tourist and living in a touristy town she has learned that getting involved with a non-local only brings heartache. Instead of giving into Booker, she finds herself debating which relationship is safer; an empty relationship but fulfilling sex life with Murphy or a deep and meaningful relationship with Booker that could only bring heartache. Beers, Hens and Irishmen dives into the complexity of Fiona’s love life, the crazy antics of her three brothers, as well as her two overbearing and heavily Irish speaking parents. Fists fly, hearts are broken, beer is guzzled and deceit is formed amongst comrades while the O’Leary’s take over Warblers Point in the search for love and what makes them happy.",384
جزيرة الموت,Agatha Christie,4.28,Mystery,"First published November 6, 1939","First, there were ten—a curious assortment of strangers summoned as weekend guests to a little private island off the coast of Devon. Their host, an eccentric millionaire unknown to all of them, is nowhere to be found. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they're unwilling to reveal—and a secret that will seal their fate. For each has been marked for murder. A famous nursery rhyme is framed and hung in every room of the mansion:""Ten little boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine. Nine little boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight. Eight little boys traveling in Devon; One said he'd stay there then there were seven. Seven little boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in half and then there were six. Six little boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five. Five little boys going in for law; One got in Chancery and then there were four. Four little boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three. Three little boys walking in the zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were two. Two little boys sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up and then there was one. One little boy left all alone; He went out and hanged himself and then there were none.""When they realize that murders are occurring as described in the rhyme, terror mounts. One by one they fall prey. Before the weekend is out, there will be none. Who has choreographed this dastardly scheme? And who will be left to tell the tale?

Ireland of the Saints,Daphne D.C. Pochin Mould,4.0,,"First published January 1, 1953","From the dust jacket:""Ireland was the essential link, during the Dark Ages, between the Graeco-Roman culture of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance. When the barbarian invasions swept over Europe, Ireland, almost alone, escaped. The torch of learning, elsewhere extinguished, was kept alight in her monastic schools and she was able to hand it back to Europe when more settled conditions returned.In writing about the Celtic Church Doctor Pochin Mould has looked not only at the ruins of churches and the surviving manuscripts, at the weathered carving of the high crosses and the glitter of the Tara Brooch, but also at Ireland today. The Irishmen of the sixth century, as Doctor Mould herself emphasises, was very much the same kind of individual that you will meet in a curragh in the West or piloting a plane out of Shannon airport. Something indeed survives directly from the Celtic Church: the penitential routine of Lough Derg, the pilgrims who follow St. Patrick up Croagh Patrick, and, above all, the dynamic of present-day Irish piety which is a key to the dynamic of the Celtic Church and her Saints.In writing of these Saints - Patrick, Brendan, Brigit, and the rest - of the Raths and Monasteries, the Round Towers, High Crosses and Churches, and of the magnificent Reliquaries, the Jewellery and Illuminated Manuscripts, Doctor Mould has the support of some 60 illustrations. The Books of Kells and of Durrow, the Ardagh Chalice, the Tara Brooch, the Cross of Cong, the Shrine of St. Patrick's Bell, Clonmacnoise, Cashel Rock and Glendalough - these are only the highlights in a collection of photographs which, like the text, succeeds in linking the Ireland of the Saints with the Ireland of today.""",1

Scotland of the Saints,Daphne D.C. Pochin Mould,4.0,,"First published January 1, 1952","From the dust jacket:""'Scotland of the Saints' might be described as an account of the coming of the early Church to Scotland. But it is also something more than that. It is an attempt to unite the resources of archaeology, geography, hagiography and history in building up a composite picture of the early history of Argyll, of the ancient kingdom of Dalriada, and of the work of the Celtic saints in the West Highlands of Scotland. While Dr. Pochin Mould disclaims the authority of an expert in any of the fields of study of which she has made use, she succeeds in drawing a very persuasive picture of how the Celtic Church first came to Scotland and of the way in which it developed and spread. Ninian, Columcille, Moluag, Kenneth, Maelrubha and Donnan are the chief of the saints with which her story deals, and we come to appreciate in how heroic a mould such resolute characters were cast.The fify-one photographic illustrations are more than a mere embellishment of the book, for in them may be seen much of the geographical and architectural evidence on which the author bases her thesis. There are pictures, for example, of the line of Glen Tarbet as seen from the air, of Dunbarton Rock and Dunadd, of ruined stone cells and of curraghs similar to those used by the early missionaries, of Iona, Mull, Islay and Rodil, and of some of the finest surviving Celtic crosses. The beauty of these illustrations, and the scholarship of Dr. Pochin Mould's text, will appeal strongly to everyone interested in the wide-spreading kingdom of Dalriada, in the early Scottish saints, and in the coming of the Celtic Church to Scotland.""",1

The Prussians defended the Castle Worth for King and Country becoming a flashpoint for the contested lands of Silesia. It was an enlightened age yet no quarter was given on either side. Educated men let loose the dogs of war creating a slaughterhouse where madness, murder and suicide wrapped itself in rabid loyalty to flag and honor.

Lough Derg: St. Patrick's Purgatory,Alice Curtayne,4.0,,"First published January 1, 1944","From the dust jacket:""The pilgrims of St. Patrick's Purgatory take part in a rite as old as our Christian history. None of the fabulous legends that clung to Lough Derg in its passage through the centuries is really half so strange as the mysterious projection of this remnant of an heroic past into the present day.No affirmation of the Faith was anywhere so fiercely combated with intent to destroy. The fanatics of reformed religion fell on it with pick and crow-bar, not only levelling the buildings but - by Government decree - hurling the very stones into the lake. The memory of the thing believed destroyed was then vilified and buried under opprobrium and derision. The destruction was semmingly ratified and all hope of recovery frustrated by Act of Parliament.Down to the Middle Ages the pilgrimage to Lough Derg was considered a glorious Christian exploit, invested with the same romance and valour as the Crusades against Islam. At least some hint of that richly suggestive European background to the rite should be in every pilgrim's mind.Sixteen thousand people on an average visit the island every year. This is their book. Its brevity, easy style, convenient size and format, are all planned to make it the right book for them, readable even during a period of intense spiritual, mental and physical effort. Any other kind of book would be less acceptable at any rate to the man on the island.This book is an 'historical essay' on St. Patrick's Purgatory, based on exact scholarship. It makes no claim to be anything so conclusive as a history of Lough Derg. The author's long-established reputation for selective ability in such studies is a guarantee that this book gives the gist of the matter. It is the fruit of six years' reflection, study and personal exploration (both mental and physical) on the author's part, and of twice that number of years' familiarity with the island.""(New and Revised Edition)",1
Griffith Review 42: Once Upon a Time in Oz,Julianne Schultz,4.19,Essays,"First published October 23, 2013","Once upon a time — and the story begins. Fairy tales endure because their messages still speak as strongly and clearly to people today as they ever did — hidden within the metaphoric codes of princes, witches, curses and towers, insurmountable tasks, elaborate tests and exaggerated trials. We all have the same dragons in our psyche, as Ursula K Le Guin once said. Fairy tales tell us it is possible to face these dragons, these ogres of our darkest imaginings, and triumph over them. Australia is a story as well as a place. The Aboriginal place was telling itself for at least those sixty-thousand years, while outside Australia existed only in the imaginations of people in the northern hemisphere, a Great South Land below the equator. The shocking, defining moment in 1788 when the First Fleet landed fractured the backbone of the story, and set off a whole galaxy of further plots and subplots that continue to play out.Wherever people go they carry their personal and cultural stories with them. We have inherited the stories of Europe, the tales of the brothers Grimm and the Bible that came in the memories and books of settlers over the past two hundred years, and we are increasingly integrating the stories of other cultures and civilisations in this region. In Once Upon a Time in Oz, Griffith REVIEW holds up an enchanted mirror to explore the role of fairy and folk tales across cultures in this country, and creates new ones. For many, coming to Australia meant leaving centuries of fairy tales, myths and legends behind and falling painfully onto the hard and naked ground. How did immigrants re-weave a cushion of stories encompassing the new narratives of place? What are the tales that preoccupy, entertain and guide the culture today in the land of Oz? How did they make their way here? What has happened to them over time? Once Upon a Time in Oz presents new stories by renowned writers including Cate Kennedy, Arnold Zable, Ali Alizadeh, Tony Birch, Marion Halligan, Margo Lanagan and Bruce Pascoe. Other writers including Kate Forsyth, Michelle Law, Jane Sullivan, Lucy Sussex and John Bryson examine through essay and memoir some of the mysteries of storytelling. And David Rowe takes us Down the Abbott Hole in a cartoon essay. Once Upon a Time in Oz features Carmel Bird as contributing editor.",16

The Ethics of Judge Nadeau,Nancy Madore,3.78,,"First published October 6, 2013","A TRUE STORY OF SEX AND BETRAYAL—AND THE ETHICS THAT MAKE IT OKAYThe Ethics of Judge Nadeau is the TRUE story of a judge who (as of the date of publishing) presides over York County Probate Court in York, Maine. The premise of the book is that—in spite of the Maine Board of Overseers' rulings to the contrary—the behavior of Judge Robert M.A. Nadeau is unethical. Referencing real exhibits, orders and depositions in actual court cases, The Ethics of Judge Nadeau provides a bird’s eye view into the logic and reasoning behind behavior so incredible it will take your breath away. This candid and (often) humorous account of Robert Nadeau’s antics (in and out of the courtroom) is as entertaining as it is shocking. The Ethics of Judge Nadeau is based on the premise that there are some things a lawyer should never do—especially if he’s a judge—because they are either unethical, illegal, or just plain wrong.Here are ten of the most obvious: •	A lawyer should not sleep with his client.•	A lawyer should not disclose what his clients tell him in confidence.•	A lawyer should not use what his clients tell him in confidence against them.•	A lawyer should not secretly advise the opponents in his former client's case.•	A lawyer should not stalk, slander or terrorize former clients.•	In the course of stalking, slandering and terrorizing his former clients, a lawyer should not intercept and disseminate illegal recordings.•	A lawyer should not enter his personal psych file as an exhibit without reading it first.•	A lawyer should not offer money to someone who is in the process of testifying against him.•	A lawyer should not make two—or even three—opposing statements under oath.•	A lawyer should not use client funds to pay his law firm's operating expenses.Not only has Judge Robert Nadeau done all of these things, but he actually tries to defend them in his many emails, pleadings and depositions. Worst of all, the judicial system has supported him every step of the way.",23

The Legacy of Saint Patrick as Found in His Own Writings,Martin P. Harney,4.57,,"First published January 1, 1972","From the dust jacket:""The Legacy of St. Patrick, which he would bequeath to his brethren and their descendants, was his own holy idealism. It can be found in his two writings, the 'Confession' and the 'Letter to Coroticus.'Both documents, the 'Confession' and the 'Letter,' are accepted as authentic by all modern Patrician scholars. Both are brief works; printed together, they hardly fill thirty pages of a pamphlet. Yet they are supremely important, because they offer a clear and complete presentation of the spirituality of Ireland's apostle. A thoughful perusal of the 'Confession' and of the 'Letter' will reward the reader with a true and an intimate knowledge of St. Patrick. Then will stand in the reader's vision the 'real' St. Patrick.'No one has ever left so strong and permanent impression of his personality on a people, with the single and eminent exception of Moses.' (Eoin MacNeill)Reading St. Patrick's two writings will be of profit also for his numerous non-Irish admirers; it will widen their knowledge of him and it will afford them rich inspirations.St. Patrick's idealism bears an appeal for men of good will everywhere.""",7

La maestra republicana,Elena Moya,3.75,,"First published September 18, 2013","Para Valli Querol, hija de unos humildes masoveros de Morella, la Guerra Civil no terminó en 1939, sino que se prolongó en una batalla clandestina y en un largo exilio. Durante esos años de lucha, secretos y sacrificios inconcebibles, Valli nunca perdió la esperanza de recuperar aquella sociedad igualitaria con la que soñó mientras estuvo becada en la Residencia de Señoritas de Madrid. Tras la llegada de la democracia, Valli regresó a Morella y volvió a ejercer de maestra, pero la sociedad que se encontró distaba mucho del espíritu republicano por el que tanto había luchado y las viejas rencillas entre familias seguían sin olvidarse.Décadas más tarde, en el momento culminante de la burbuja inmobiliaria, el nuevo alcalde de Morella planea la venta de la antigua escuela por una cantidad astronómica de dinero, para lo cual contempla varias ofertas que la convertirían en un casino, en pisos o en un centro satélite del elitista colegio de Eton, gracias al interés personal por Morella de uno de sus profesores. Con lo que no contará el alcalde es con la oposición y el tesón de la octogenaria maestra republicana, que hará todo lo posible por evitar que su escuela se convierta en moneda de cambio entre políticos corruptos.La maestra republicana es el vibrante relato de una mujer que lucha por conservar la dignidad de su propio pasado y que nos adentra en el impenetrable mundo de Eton College y en la casi desconocida Residencia de Señoritas, la versión femenina de la Residencia de Estudiantes. Su historia y la de los personajes con los que se relaciona también es una metáfora de nuestro tiempo, de la corrupción política y la desesperanza social en la que vivimos, y de cómo un espíritu luchador puede ponerlos en jaque a la vez que recupera unos valores de honestidad y justicia casi olvidados.",157

Global Economic History: A Very Short Introduction,Robert C. Allen,3.83,Economics,"First published January 1, 2011","Why are some countries rich and others poor? In 1500, the income differences were small, but they have grown dramatically since Columbus reached America. Since then, the interplay between geography, globalization, technological change, and economic policy has determined the wealth and poverty of nations. The industrial revolution was Britain's path breaking response to the challenge of globalization. Western Europe and North America joined Britain to form a club of rich nations by pursuing four polices-creating a national market by abolishing internal tariffs and investing in transportation, erecting an external tariff to protect their fledgling industries from British competition, banks to stabilize the currency and mobilize domestic savings for investment, and mass education to prepare people for industrial work.  Together these countries pioneered new technologies that have made them ever richer. Before the Industrial Revolution, most of the world's manufacturing was done in Asia, but industries from Casablanca to Canton were destroyed by western competition in the nineteenth century, and Asia was transformed into 'underdeveloped countries' specializing in agriculture. The spread of economic development has been slow since modern technology was invented to fit the needs of rich countries and is ill adapted to the economic and geographical conditions of poor countries. A few countries - Japan, Soviet Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, and perhaps China - have, nonetheless, caught up with the West through creative responses to the technological challenge and with Big Push industrialization that has achieved rapid growth through investment coordination. Whether other countries can emulate the success of East Asia is a challenge for the future.

Information: A Very Short Introduction,Luciano Floridi,3.41,Philosophy,"First published January 1, 2010","We live an information-soaked existence - information pours into our lives through television, radio, books, and of course, the Internet. Some say we suffer from 'infoglut'. But what is information? The concept of 'information' is a profound one, rooted in mathematics, central to whole branches of science, yet with implications on every aspect of our everyday DNA provides the information to create us; we learn through the information fed to us; we relate toeach other through information transfer - gossip, lectures, reading. Information is not only a mathematically powerful concept, but its critical role in society raises wider ethical who owns information? Who controls its dissemination? Who has access to information?Luciano Floridi, a philosopher of information, cuts across many subjects, from a brief look at the mathematical roots of information - its definition and measurement in 'bits'- to its role in genetics (we are information), and its social meaning and value. He ends by considering the ethics of information, including issues of ownership, privacy, and accessibility; copyright and open source.For those unfamiliar with its precise meaning and wide applicability as a philosophical concept, 'information' may seem a bland or mundane topic. Those who have studied some science or philosophy or sociology will already be aware of its centrality and richness. But for all readers, whether from the humanities or sciences, Floridi gives a fascinating and inspirational introduction to this most fundamental of ideas.ABOUT THE The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

As analysis and modelling of most aspects of the world, and all measurement, are necessarily imprecise and involve uncertainties of varying degrees, the understanding and management of probabilities is central to much work in the sciences and economics.In this Very Short Introduction, John Haigh introduces the ideas of probability and different philosophical approaches to probability, and gives a brief account of the history of development of probability theory, from Galileo and Pascal to Bayes, Laplace, Poisson, and Markov. He describes the basic probability distributions, and goes on to discuss a wide range of applications in science, economics, and a variety of other contexts such as games and betting.

The Great Partition: The Making of India and Pakistan,Yasmin Cordery Khan,3.89,History,"First published August 1, 2007","The Partition of India in 1947 promised its people both political and religious freedom—through the liberation of India from British rule, and the creation of the Muslim state of Pakistan. Instead, the geographical divide brought displacement and death, and it benefited the few at the expense of the very many. Thousands of women were raped, at least one million people were killed, and ten to fifteen million were forced to leave their homes as refugees. One of the first events of decolonization in the twentieth century, Partition was also one of the most bloody. In this book Yasmin Khan examines the context, execution, and aftermath of Partition, weaving together local politics and ordinary lives with the larger political forces at play. She exposes the widespread obliviousness to what Partition would entail in practice and how it would affect the populace. Drawing together fresh information from an array of sources, Khan underscores the catastrophic human cost and shows why the repercussions of Partition resound even now, some sixty years later. The book is an intelligent and timely analysis of Partition, the haste and recklessness with which it was completed, and the damaging legacy left in its wake.","1,438"

Language Implementation Patterns: Create Your Own Domain-Specific and General Programming Languages,Terence Parr,3.87,Programming,"First published January 1, 2009","Learn to build configuration file readers, data readers, model-driven code generators, source-to-source translators, source analyzers, and interpreters. You don't need a background in computer science--ANTLR creator Terence Parr demystifies language implementation by breaking it down into the most common design patterns. Pattern by pattern, you'll learn the key skills you need to implement your own computer languages. Knowing how to create domain-specific languages (DSLs) can give you a huge productivity boost. Instead of writing code in a general-purpose programming language, you can first build a custom language tailored to make you efficient in a particular domain. The key is understanding the common patterns found across language implementations. ""Language Design Patterns"" identifies and condenses the most common design patterns, providing sample implementations of each. The pattern implementations use Java, but the patterns themselves are completely general. Some of the implementations use the well-known ANTLR parser generator, so readers will find this book an excellent source of ANTLR examples as well. But this book will benefit anyone interested in implementing languages, regardless of their tool of choice. Other language implementation books focus on compilers, which you rarely need in your daily life. Instead, Language Design Patterns shows you patterns you can use for all kinds of language applications. You'll learn to create configuration file readers, data readers, model-driven code generators, source-to-source translators, source analyzers, and interpreters. Each chapter groups related design patterns and, in each pattern, you'll get hands-on experience by building a complete sample implementation. By the time you finish the book, you'll know how to solve most common language implementation problems.",185

Authors’ Note While we performed extensive research on the cities and history of Peenemünde and Nordhausen in preparing this book, we naturally took liberties about both locations and the experiments performed at them for the purpose of the fictional adventure we wanted to tell you.

This is Where I Leave You,Jonathan Tropper,3.88,Fiction,"First published November 10, 2003","International bestseller Jonathan Tropper joins Dutton with the book his fans in the trade have been waiting for him to write: an uproarious, sophisticated, and deeply moving breakout novel.Those who have already discovered Jonathan Tropper have called his novels “hilarious, but emotion-packed,”1 “fantastically funny,”2 “surprisingly moving,”3 and “utterly magnificent.”4 With his Dutton debut, Tropper has delivered a novel of true sophistication, at once light of touch and with a real sense of humor, without sacrificing a depth of character and raw emotion reminiscent of the early work of John Irving and Michael Chabon. This Is Where I Leave You opens with the death of Judd Foxman’s father, an event that marks the first time in a decade that the entire Foxman family—including Judd’s mother, brothers, and sister have been together in the same house for an extended period. Conspicuously absent: Judd’s wife, Jen, whose fourteen-month affair with Judd’s radio-shock-jock boss has recently become painfully public. The typical Foxman family gathering ends with car doors slamming and tires screeching as various factions scatter to nurse their resentments in private. But this time around, the Foxmans reluctantly submit to their father’s dying request: to spend the seven days following the funeral together. In the same house. Like a real family. For Judd it’s a week-long opportunity to come to terms with his father’s death, his failed marriage, and to explain the mess his life has become to a never-ending parade of people he thought he might never see again. Which would be bad enough without the bomb Jen dropped the day Judd’s father died: She’s pregnant.","146,330"

Our Lady of Benoni,Zakes Mda,3.18,South Africa,"First published January 1, 2012","An innovative play tackling the role of patriarchy in South African cultureZakes Mda's satire is a kaleidoscopic display of the extremes to which men (and by implication women) are prepared to go in terms of valuing what is 'virginal'. Mda presents us with the consequences of transgression: that which is seen as polluted and judged to be dangerous to the good health and purity of a group, a society, a culture. Taboos, superstition, customs and moral ethics become the subjects of inquiry and are, at times, subjected to ribald satire. This play cuts into a virtuoso style of theatre that can in no way be confused with the objectives and methods of conventional realism. Mda establishes a unique style and tone that is innovative, entertaining and challenging. It fuses satirical elements derived from classical poetry with a modernist sensibility that synthesises Brechtian and Absurdist features of theatricality, using characters as types and montage. Above all, in this work there is a profound exploration of what it means to operate in the politically charged landscape that defines post-apartheid South Africa with its cultural pluralities and differentials in access to resources and agency. Stylistically adventurous and unafraid to deviate from conventionally accepted norms, Mda is iconoclastic in his handling of the ways in which attitudes to power, superstition, ethics and sex are constructed. The cultural discourse of patriarchy and the 'regime of truths' regarding ideals and taboos defining female sexuality, its obligations, and its custodianship are the focus of this play.",11

5150 - The One Who Flew Into the Cuckoo's Nest,Kathi Stringer,3.75,Classics,"First published August 1, 2007","New expanded 2013 version and professionally edited. This story is mainly about a dramatic inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. 5150 is the California code for a psychiatric hold.  Pat Risser: ""A true story about a woman caught in a life or death struggle with a psychiatrist whose ego feels he must defeat her at all costs. The psychiatrist forgets all about healing and enters into combat with the patient -- it's his will versus hers. The battle scenes are vividly captured through Kathi's eyes as well as through the chart notes that reveal the terrifying specter of the thoughts of the staff as they try to force their will upon Kathi."" The reason I expanded this book with over 60 pages from the 2007 version was because one of the feedback reviews indicated he wanted to see more of the advocacy that was accomplished. At the time of the first writing, these things had not yet occurred. However, I feel good about presenting them here now. In addition, this expanded version has been professionally edited. Dr. Sam Vaknin writes: ""This time it's a winner: taut, tense prose; a plot as captivating as any thriller's; a real-life story that reads like a nightmare and that ends in personal redemption. Couched in a lean and muscular text, all the important themes are here: self-discovery, one against the many, iconoclastic rebel faces down the system, justice for all, mental illness as a mechanism for social coercion. What a ride! What a treat! Brilliant.""  5150 is a true story about personal journey in the following domains: Psychiatric Hospital(s), Dissociative Identity Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Schizoaffective Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and Transsexualism. First time a book is published that resonates with the psychiatric hospital notes.  Paula Minegar: ""This book goes to a different level, I haven't read anything like it. I felt a different emotion with every turn of the page. When I could put it down, I recapped the previous pages over and over in my mind. I wish I had a tenth of the strength this author has. A great read, a shocking education.""",83

The Gospel of Matthew Through the Eyes of a Cop: A Devotional for Law Enforcement Officers,Charles Gilliland,4.71,,"First published July 3, 2012","Jesus calls everyone to live as a Christian around the clock. Most law enforcement academies teach the law but not how law enforcement officers can exemplify the characteristics Jesus came to teach—love, compassion, integrity, ethics, morals, and values—when on duty. In The Gospel of Matthew through the Eyes of a Cop, author Charles Gilliland provides a daily devotional for anyone working in the criminal justice system. This guide provides training in basic, critical, and often neglected attributes that law enforcement officers must possess. Gilliland sets up each lesson so that it mirrors a law enforcement officer’s shift. The briefing section offers an idea of how to apply the lesson to daily duties, presenting a question or short statement on how the lesson relates specifically to law enforcement. The dispatch section lists the Bible verses for the lesson and prompts further reflection or research. The guide then goes “on the street,” getting to the heart of the lesson. Finally, each section concludes with a brief commentary to shed light on the passage studied. Whether used for individual or group study, The Gospel of Matthew through the Eyes of a Cop helps law enforcement officers put into practice the lessons Jesus taught. Following this devotional, they can find a way to do so effectively for the benefit of all.",7

Cô đơn thẳng đứng,Nguyễn Hữu Tài,3.5,,"First published February 1, 2013","Văn chương của Hữu Tài khiến người ta có cảm giác dường như tự ngàn xưa, khi nàng Pandora mở chiếc hộp bị cấm kỵ ra thì hai hạt mầm mang tên nỗi buồn và cô đơn đã bay dạt về phía anh, vùi sâu vào vùng đất đai trong anh. Vì vậy, từ Những Chuyến Thiên Di, Nỗi Buồn Rực Rỡ và bây giờ là Cô Đơn Thẳng Đứng, những câu chuyện, những nhân vật, những tâm tình trên trang viết của nhà văn trẻ này không nguôi đứng ngồi, đi lại, khóc cười trong cái bóng râm hiu hiu, nhè nhẹ, lằng lặng, mà thấm thía và lắm niềm day dứt của khu vườn đầy cây buồn và cây cô lẻ này.Mà hình như, càng đi xa không gian quê nhà, đi xa nơi chôn nhau cắt rốn, nỗi buồn ấy càng sầu hơn và niềm lẻ loi càng đơn độc hơn. Nên ai bước vào Cô Đơn Thẳng Đứng, nơi Hữu Tài kể những câu chuyện về phận người trên đất Mỹ xa xôi, đất Mỹ của những kẻ thiên di đi tìm một chân trời khác, sẽ thấy một Hữu Tài buồn và cô đơn đậm đặc, đến độ dồn tụ lại, chìm sâu vào trong, theo chiều thẳng đứng, có khi trầm lắng, nhưng đôi lúc thấy rợn ngợp, khắc khoải.Truyện ngắn của Hữu Tài không dẫn dụ người đọc bằng cốt truyện quá éo le với các xung đột khủng khiếp, bằng những nhân vật có cá tính dữ dội hoặc bằng cấu trúc phức tạp của ngôn từ. Anh kể những câu chuyện giữa đời, chuyện của mình, chuyện xung quanh mình. Nhân vật của anh đứng trước những tình huống rắc rối nhỏ nhắn của đời thường với những chấn thương nhẹ nhàng trong tâm hồn. Ấy là một cuộc tình dang dở vì khoảng cách giữa đôi bờ đại dương, là một cuộc đời nhiều thất bại vì chọn bước đi sai lầm, là cơn ghen tuông, hờn dỗi xoáy lốc trong người vợ khi nhìn thấy sợi tóc màu hạt dẻ mà người tình của chồng để lại trên giường, là cơn choáng váng của cô gái trinh khiết khi phát hiện ra hộp bao cao su xài dở của vị hôn phu trước ngày cưới, là niềm ngậm ngùi của người đàn bà trước đám cưới của đứa con rơi mà chồng mình để lại chốn quê xưa... Chuyện của anh nghe không lạ, nhưng đủ khiến người đọc giật mình bởi giữa bộn bề của cuộc đời, những câu chuyện như thế vẫn ngày ngày diễn ra quanh mình mà ít khi họ ngẫm đến, nghĩ đến, trừ khi, đó là câu chuyện của chính mình. Và mỗi ai trong đời, khi đứng trước tình huống Hữu Tài đặt ra, sẽ loay hoay tự hỏi mình sẽ làm gì? Chính vì vậy, câu chuyện của Tài sẽ lôi cuốn người đọc bằng những chuyển biến tâm lý tinh tế và những hành động đầy bất ngờ của nhân vật trước nghịch cảnh bé bỏng riêng tư.Càng đi sâu vào hành trình Cô Đơn Thẳng Đứng, càng thấy ngẩn người trước sự tinh nhạy, tế vi trong lắng nghe, quan sát và rung động của ngòi bút trẻ này từ những xung động nhỏ bé, khẽ khàng của đời thường.",2

Told largely through insightful pre-war diary entries by Voldemars Apse, as well as correspondence between Voldemars and his wife Kamilla, both before and during the war, this book describes the horrendous effects of war and the Soviet and German occupation on an ordinary rural Latvian family. For years after the war Kamilla and her baby Andris lived in West Germany in a refugee camp, but came to understand that Voldemars had died in the war, or in the Soviet gulag prison camps. Consequently, Kamilla and five-year-old Andris emigrated to New Zealand as refugees. Over time Andris became one of New Zealand’s most successful landscape photographers, and raised his own family. Following the breakdown of the Soviet Union, Kamilla and Andris miraculously discovered that Voldemars was still alive in Latvia. Andris arranged to take Kamilla, who was now in her seventies, back to Latvia. When they reunited in Riga, husband met wife, and son met father for the first time in over 40 years. This story of heart-rending separation and joyful rediscovery will touch a chord with all parents and everyone with a sense of history and the importance of family. Andris’s remarkable tale was first published as a large format photographic book, which was serialised by National Radio, and his life and photography has also featured in a 2010 TVNZ documentary ‘Through My Eyes’.",9

The Redeemer,Jo Nesbø,4.09,Crime,"First published January 1, 2005","A fantastically gripping thriller from the best-selling author of The Snowman.Christmas shoppers stop to hear a Salvation Army concert on a crowded Oslo street. A gunshot cuts through the music and the bitter cold: one of the singers falls dead, shot in the head at point-blank range. Harry Hole—the Oslo Police Department’s best investigator and worst civil servant—has little to work with: no suspect, no weapon, and no motive. But Harry’s troubles will multiply. As the search closes in, the killer becomes increasingly desperate, and Harry’s chase takes him to the most forbidden corners of the former Yugoslavia.  Yet it’s when he returns to Oslo that he encounters true darkness: among the homeless junkies and Salvationists, eagerly awaiting a savior to deliver them from misery—whether he brings new life or immediate death.  With its shrewdly vertiginous narrative, acid-etched characters, and white-hot pace, The Redeemer is resounding proof of Jo Nesbø’s standing as one of the best crime writers of our time.","47,238"

The Poem Of The Killing Of Meghnad,Michael Madhusudan Dutt,4.36,Poetry,"First published January 1, 1861","First published in Bengali in 1861, The Poem of the Killing of Meghnad (Meghnadbadh kabya) by Michael Madhusudan Dutt is an epic in blank verse that has Indrajit (Meghnad), Ravan's warrior son who is slain by Lakshman in the Ramayana, as its protagonist. But the manner in which Meghnad is killed by Lakshman"" in a temple, where he has come to carry out a puja to Agni and has no means of defending himself""is a departure from the Kshatriya warrior-code. This is the most subversive and original feature of Madhusudan's epic, and a daring way of turning Meghnad into a tragic hero. Something of an Indian equivalent to Milton's Paradise Lost, this magnificent work is an expression of Madhusudan's mind, of the Bengal Renaissance, and even of the wider Indian modernity that has emerged from that era. Imbued with irrepressible enthusiasm, youthful exuberance and rebellious flamboyance, Madhusudan's voice was compellingly new and inventive. This lyrical and vigorous translation by William Radice is accompanied by an extensive introduction, detailed footnotes and a comprehensive survey of Madhusudan's use of Indian and Western sources.",95
Critical Theory: A Very Short Introduction,Stephen Eric Bronner,3.23,Philosophy,"First published March 18, 2011","Critical Theory emerged in the 1920s from the work of the Frankfurt School, the circle of German-Jewish academics who sought to diagnose-and, if at all possible, cure-the ills of society, particularly fascism and capitalism. In this book, Stephen Eric Bronner provides sketches of leading representatives of the critical tradition (such as George Lukács and Ernst Bloch, Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin, Herbert Marcuse and Jurgen Habermas) as well as many of its seminal texts and empirical investigations. This Very Short Introduction sheds light on the cluster of concepts and themes that set critical theory apart from its more traditional philosophical competitors. Bronner explains and discusses concepts such as method and agency, alienation and reification, the culture industry and repressive tolerance, non-identity and utopia. He argues for the introduction of new categories and perspectives for illuminating the obstacles to progressive change and focusing upon hidden transformative possibilities. Only a critique of critical theory can render it salient for a new age. That is precisely what this very short introduction provides.",834
Fifty Challenging Problems in Probability with Solutions,Frederick Mosteller,4.14,Mathematics,"First published January 1, 1965","Can you solve the problem of ""The Unfair Subway""? Marvin gets off work at random times between 3 and 5 p.m. His mother lives uptown, his girlfriend downtown. He takes the first subway that comes in either direction and eats dinner with the one he is delivered to. His mother complains that he never comes to see her, but he says she has a 50-50 chance. He has had dinner with her twice in the last 20 working days. Explain. Marvin's adventures in probability are one of the fifty intriguing puzzles that illustrate both elementary ad advanced aspects of probability, each problem designed to challenge the mathematically inclined. From ""The Flippant Juror"" and ""The Prisoner's Dilemma"" to ""The Cliffhanger"" and ""The Clumsy Chemist,"" they provide an ideal supplement for all who enjoy the stimulating fun of mathematics. Professor Frederick Mosteller, who teaches statistics at Harvard University, has chosen the problems for originality, general interest, or because they demonstrate valuable techniques. In addition, the problems are graded as to difficulty and many have considerable stature. Indeed, one has ""enlivened the research lives of many excellent mathematicians."" Detailed solutions are included. There is every probability you'll need at least a few of them.",327
How to Solve It: A New Aspect of Mathematical Method,George Pólya,4.13,Mathematics,"First published November 30, 1944","A perennial bestseller by eminent mathematician G. Polya, How to Solve It will show anyone in any field how to think straight. In lucid and appealing prose, Polya reveals how the mathematical method of demonstrating a proof or finding an unknown can be of help in attacking any problem that can be ""reasoned"" out--from building a bridge to winning a game of anagrams. Generations of readers have relished Polya's deft--indeed, brilliant--instructions on stripping away irrelevancies and going straight to the heart of the problem. In this best-selling classic, George Pólya revealed how the mathematical method of demonstrating a proof or finding an unknown can be of help in attacking any problem that can be ""reasoned"" out--from building a bridge to winning a game of anagrams. Generations of readers have relished Pólya's deft instructions on stripping away irrelevancies and going straight to the heart of a problem. How to Solve It popularized heuristics, the art and science of discovery and invention. It has been in print continuously since 1945 and has been translated into twenty-three different languages.  Pólya was one of the most influential mathematicians of the twentieth century. He made important contributions to a great variety of mathematical research: from complex analysis to mathematical physics, number theory, probability, geometry, astronomy, and combinatorics. He was also an extraordinary teacher--he taught until he was ninety--and maintained a strong interest in pedagogical matters throughout his long career. In addition to How to Solve It, he published a two-volume work on the topic of problem solving, Mathematics of Plausible Reasoning, also with Princeton.  Pólya is one of the most frequently quoted mathematicians, and the following statements from How to Solve It make clear why: ""My method to overcome a difficulty is to go around it."" ""Geometry is the science of correct reasoning on incorrect figures."" ""In order to solve this differential equation you look at it till a solution occurs to you.""","4,890"

Un Tournant du Destin,Roger Branfill-Cook,4.33,,"First published February 12, 2008","Une histoire alternative, richement illustrée, qui surgit de la possibilité que la Royal Navy n’attaque pas la flotte française à Mers el-Kébir en juillet 1940.La coopération navale et militaire rapprochée entre les Britanniques et les Français était réduite à néant quand Hitler a pris de l’avance sur les démocraties de l’Ouest, et a lancé la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale avant que ses opposants soient préparés. Churchill paniquait en pensant que la puissante marine française puisse tomber entre les mains de l’Axe, et a donné l’ordre de neutraliser les vaisseaux français.À Mers el-Kébir l’amiral Somerville, en obéissant aveuglement à cet ordre, a tiré sur l’escadron français amarré dans le port, mettant hors de combat trois navires et tuant 1.300 marins français. Somerville a pris conscience du fait qu’il venait de commettre la plus grande erreur de sa vie.Cette histoire alternative examine ce qui aurait pu se passer si Somerville avait choisi de changer de cap. En tout cas, comme l’amiral sur place, il pouvait décider lui-même de faire autrement. Tout d’un coup, les événements commencent à se dérouler d’une manière forte différente. La narration suit son cours, chaque cause et effet se succédant naturellement. Les Français en Afrique du Nord se vengent sur les fascistes italiens perfides qui les avaient trahis, et l’équilibre de pouvoir dans la Méditerranée est changé dramatiquement.Hitler ne retarde pas ses plans pour l’invasion de la Russie pour aider son ami Mussolini, qui est enfermé à Monte Grosso. L’opération Barbarossa commence beaucoup plus tôt, et l’URSS de Staline est écrasée avant que l’hiver russe arrive.Après sa guerre non déclarée contre les Allemands dans l’Atlantique de l’ouest, FDR envoie des ‘observateurs’ pour combattre à côté des Alliés comme les Américains vont faire plus tard au Vietnam.En Extrême Orient, les plans d’expansion des Japonais sont bloqués par l’arrivée d’une puissante flotte française et ils doivent se tourner ailleurs. Bien menés et armés, le soldat, pilote et marin français était capable de maitriser ses opposants de l’Axe, comme en Norvège, à Bir Hacheim et sous les ordres de Leclerc. En réalité, la plupart n’ont jamais eu une telle chance.« Un Tournant du Destin » introduit des témoignages des événements alternatives, fournit des photomontages (avec avertissement pour l’historien du futur), inclut une analyse des faits par rapport à la fiction, contient des tables comparatives des événements, et s’achève sur une deuxième possibilité effrayante.",9

Catch-22,Joseph Heller,3.99,Classics,"First published November 10, 1961","Catch-22 is like no other novel. It is one of the funniest books ever written, a keystone work in American literature, and even added a new term to the dictionary.At the heart of Catch-22 resides the incomparable, malingering bombardier, Yossarian, a hero endlessly inventive in his schemes to save his skin from the horrible chances of war. His efforts are perfectly understandable because as he furiously scrambles, thousands of people he hasn't even met are trying to kill him. His problem is Colonel Cathcart, who keeps raising the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempts to excuse himself from the perilous missions that he is committed to flying, he is trapped by the Great Loyalty Oath Crusade, the hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule from which the book takes its title: a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but if he makes the necessary formal request to be relieved of such missions, the very act of making the request proves that he is sane and therefore ineligible to be relieved.Catch-22 is a microcosm of the twentieth-century world as it might look to some one dangerously sane -- a masterpiece of our time.","848,800"

Now this witty social observer has again turned her discerning eye to her contemporaries, with Leap!, a no-holds-barred, illuminating, and hopeful look at the choices and challenges we face and the roads open to us.For many years Davidson earned a living as a successful journalist and screenwriter, but in her fifties she saw her life come apart: She could no longer find work, she endured a break-up with her partner, and her children left for college. For the first time ever, she had nothing to do. She felt adrift, but she found that she was not alone.In Leap!, Davidson sets out on a passionate quest to learn how to do the coming years well. Drawing on her own experience and that of others, she explores such questions as- How does a high-powered person learn to walk down the ladder gracefully?- How can women continue to be sensual and not touch-deprived?- How do we arrange to grow old with our friends? - What will be the fire at the center of our lives?- Why are we still here?Davidson interviews people from across the country and from all walks of life, including such icons as Carly Simon, Tom Hayden, Tracy Kidder, Jane Fonda, Ram Dass, and Iman, as well as teachers, writers, psychologists, businesspeople, and spiritual leaders. The candid portraits are both inspiring and cautionary.True to character, boomers will approach these years differently from previous generations, and there will be no single path.

But they will not fade quietly into the sunset.With Leap!, Sara Davidson holds up a mirror for readers, allowing them to see not only themselves and those around them but their potential future.

This nonfiction, nautical adventure is full of the profane, the dangerous, the drunken, the crazy, the humorous, the romantic and the brave shipmates the author knew. The degeneration of the maritime industry in the United States is paralleled with the disintegration of the abilities and mental stability of a man who had to finally realize that he was burned out at the age of forty.To be a mate on a merchant ship in the modern heyday of the freighters was to be a man in the middle -- in the middle of maritime chaos, living a colorful life that few have ever experienced. From the storms, fog, waterfront bars and union halls, to the near collisions, deaths at sea, fistfights, dangerous cargo and foreign lands, it is a harsh but exciting life. Yet changes in the industry have taken away much of the color and adventure of it. Ships got bigger and crews got smaller. With vast improvements in cargo handling, they don't stay in port long. This effort is my way of getting some of that colorful era written down before it all fades away.",92

You Can Be Right (or You Can Be Married): Looking for Love in the Age of Divorce,Dana Adam Shapiro,3.75,Nonfiction,"First published January 1, 2012","Fast approaching the age when bachelors go from seeming curious to seeming weird, Oscar-nominated documentarian Dana Adam Shapiro set out across the country with a tape recorder in search of modern answers to an age-old question:Why does love die—and what can we do to prevent it from happening?It all began as a self-help journey in the purest sense. A serial monogamist for more than two decades, Shapiro wanted to know why the honeymoon phase of his relationships never lasted until the actual honeymoon. Believing that you learn more from failure than from success, he spent the next three years criss­crossing the country with a tape recorder, interviewing hundreds of divorced people, hoping to become so fluent in the errors of Eros that he would be able to avoid them in his own love life—and one day be a better husband.The result is a timely treasure trove of marital wisdom that is as racy as it is revelatory. Shockingly intimate and profoundly personal, this is a page-turning, voyeuristic investigation of modern love and a practical guide for any couple looking to beat the roulette-wheel odds of actually staying together forever.Note that this giveaway is for the MP3 CD version of this audiobook.

Steve Jobs The Man Who Thought Different,Karen Blumenthal,3.94,Biography,"First published February 1, 2012","Inventor. Visionary. Genius. Dropout. Adopted. Steve Jobs was the founder of Apple and he was all of these things. Steve Jobs has been described as a showman, artist, tyrant, genius, jerk. Through his life he was loved, hated, admired and dismissed, yet he was a living legend; the genius who founded Apple in his parent's garage when he was just 21 years-old, revolutionising the music world. He single-handedly introduced the first computer that could sit on your desk and founded and nurtured a company called Pixar bringing to life Oscar wining animations Toy Story and Finding Nemo. So how did the man, who was neither engineer nor computer geek change the world we live in, making us want every product he touched? On graduation day in 2005, a fifty-year-old Steve Jobs said: 'Today I want to tell you three stories from my life, That's it. Just three stories'. The first story is about connecting the dots. My second story is about love and loss. My third story is about death. This is his story...Critically acclaimed author Karen Blumenthal takes us to the core of this complicated and legendary man, from his adoption and early years through to the pinnacles of his career, his dismissal from his duties at Apple (for being too disruptive and difficult) to the graduation where he gave the commencement speech just 6 years before his death, giving life to what were soon to become some of most famous quotes of his career, ending with the message: Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish.

Orthodoxy,G.K. Chesterton,4.19,Theology,"First published January 1, 1908","This edition is annotated, with extensive additional information about the work, and also G.K. Chesteron's life, including his complete bibliography. There is a convenient, active table of contents, and this work has been formatted for your Kindle.This book is meant to be a companion to ""Heretics,"" and to put the positive side in addition to the negative. Many critics complained of the book called ""Heretics"" because it merely criticized current philosophies without offering any alternative philosophy. This book is an attempt to answer the challenge. It is unavoidably affirmative and therefore unavoidably autobiographical. The writer has been driven back upon somewhat the same difficulty as that which beset Newman in writing his Apologia; he has been forced to be egotistical only in order to be sincere. While everything else may be different the motive in both cases is the same. It is the purpose of the writer to attempt an explanation, not of whether the Christian Faith can be believed, but of how he personally has come to believe it. The book is therefore arranged upon the positive principle of a riddle and its answer. It deals first with all the writer's own solitary and sincere speculations and then with all the startling style in which they were all suddenly satisfied by the Christian Theology. The writer regards it as amounting to a convincing creed. But if it is not that it is at least a repeated and surprising coincidence.Orthodoxy (1908) is a book by G. K. Chesterton that has become a classic of Christian apologetics. Chesterton considered this book a companion to his other work, Heretics. In the book's preface Chesterton states the purpose is to ""attempt an explanation, not of whether the Christian faith can be believed, but of how he personally has come to believe it."" In it, Chesterton presents an original view of Christian religion. He sees it as the answer to natural human needs, the ""answer to a riddle"" in his own words, and not simply as an arbitrary truth received from somewhere outside the boundaries of human experience.Gilbert Keith Chesterton, KC*SG (29 May 1874 – 14 June 1936) better known as G.K. Chesterton, was an English writer, lay theologian, poet, dramatist, journalist, orator, literary and art critic, biographer, and Christian apologist. Chesterton is often referred to as the ""prince of paradox."" Time magazine, in a review of a biography of Chesterton, observed of his writing ""Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories—first carefully turning them inside out.""","39,556"

Autocontrolul prin sugestie constienta,Émile Coué,3.83,Psychology,"First published January 1, 1920","Această carte, rod al unei experienţe de o viaţă, prezintă principiile stabilite de Émile Coué la începutul sec. XX şi fundamente pe analize ale unor personalităţi dintre cele mai autorizate, care atestă eficacitatea lor indiscutabilă şi de necontestat în lupta contra afecţiunilor, deopotrivă fizice şi psihice.Este o carte practică, ce permite cititorului să experimenteze imediat efectele metodei Coué.Coué a observat că în anumite cazuri putea mări eficienţa unui medicament prescris, lăudându-i efectele benefice în faţa pacientului. Şi-a dat seama că la acei pacienţi în faţa cărora aducea elogii medicamentelor se putea observa o îmbunătăţire a stării de sănătate, comparativ cu pacienţii cărora nu le spunea nimic. Aşa a început explorarea folosirii hipnozei şi a puterii imaginaţiei de către Coué.Metoda sa iniţială de a-şi trata pacienţii se baza pe hipnoză. A descoperit ca subiecţii nu puteau fi hipnotizaţi împotriva voinţei lor şi că, şi mai important, că efectele hipnozei dispăreau atunci când subiecţii îşi recăpătau conştienţa. Astfel a ajuns în cele din urmă la autosugestie, pe care o descrie ca pe un instrument pe care îl posedăm cu toţii din naştere şi cu care ne jucăm inconştient toată viaţa, aşa cum un copil mic se joacă cu zornăitoarea lui. Totuşi, este un instrument periculos; folosit imprudent sau inconştient, poate răni sau chiar omorî. Pe de altă parte, poate salva vieţi atunci când autosugestia este folosită cu bună ştiinţă.",905

Mohana made us want to read more...""Kamy Wicoff, author and founder of She Writes.com Sita is the firstborn, but since she is a female child, her birth makes life difficult for her mother who is expected to produce a son. From the start, Sita finds herself in a culture hostile to her, but her irrepressible personality won’t be subdued. Born in India, she immigrates as a toddler to the U.S. with her parents after the birth of her much anticipated younger brother. Sita shifts between the vastly different worlds of her WASP dominated school and her father’s insular traditional home. Her journey takes us beneath tales of successful middle class Indians who immigrated to the U.S. in the 1980s. The gap between positive stereotypes of South Asian immigrants and the reality of Sita's family, who are struggling to stay above the poverty line is a relatively new theme for Indian literature in English. Sita's struggles to be American and yet herself, take us deeper into understanding the dilemmas of first generation children, and how religion and culture define women.

I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive: A Novel,Steve Earle,3.67,Fiction,"First published May 12, 2011","Doc Ebersole lives with the ghost of Hank Williams—not just in the figurative sense, not just because he was one of the last people to see him alive, and not just because he is rumored to have given Hank the final morphine dose that killed him. In 1963, ten years after Hank's death, Doc himself is wracked by addiction. Having lost his license to practice medicine, his morphine habit isn't as easy to support as it used to be. So he lives in a rented room in the red-light district on the south side of San Antonio, performing abortions and patching up the odd knife or gunshot wound. But when Graciela, a young Mexican immigrant, appears in the neighborhood in search of Doc's services, miraculous things begin to happen. Graciela sustains a wound on her wrist that never heals, yet she heals others with the touch of her hand. Everyone she meets is transformed for the better, except, maybe, for Hank's angry ghost—who isn't at all pleased to see Doc doing well.  A brilliant excavation of an obscure piece of music history, Steve Earle's I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive is also a marvelous novel in its own right, a ballad of regret and redemption, and of the ways in which we remake ourselves and our world through the smallest of miracles.","3,614"

A doua moarte,Eugen Ovidiu Chirovici,3.53,Romanian Literature,"First published January 1, 2006","Desi aduce la viata o epoca tulbure in istoria Europei, in care intrigile, tortura si intimidarea sunt metodele uzuale prin care potentatii isi ating scopurile, volumul lui E.O. Chirovici se incheie intr-o nota plina de sensibilitate. Nefericirea omului, moartea sufletului sau, este pedeapsa pentru ca uita un adevar vechi de cand lumea, enuntat si de cartea de capatai a umanitatii: „Iar daca dragoste nu am, nimic nu sunt“. Cartea scoate la lumina un asa-numit Manuscris din Dummstein, menit sa evoce credintele care formau paradigma mentala a spatiului european medieval, cînd, in numele Bisericii si sub influenta superstitiilor, se desfasura o adevarata vanatoare de vrajitoare. Sunt dezvaluite, de asemenea, ritualurile de initiere ale inchizitorului, care, in exercitarea oficiului cu care a fost investit, nu apare - asa cum il infatiseaza imaginarul colectiv - sub masca tortionarului sadic, ci da la iveala o latura neasteptata a sufletului sau.",19
Luotsi,Frederick Forsyth,4.0,Fiction,"First published November 1, 1975","It is Christmas Eve, 1957, and there are cozier places to be than the cockpit of a de Havilland Vampire fighter plane. But for the Royal Air Force pilot who has just taken off from West Germany, this single-seat jet is the only way to make it back to England for Christmas morning. His flight plan is simple; the fuel tank is full. In sixty-six minutes, he will be back in Blighty. But then the plane begins to fail. First the compass goes haywire, then the radio dies. Lost and alone above the English coast, the pilot is searching for a landing strip when the fog closes in, signaling certain death. He has given up hope when a second shadow appears—a Mosquito fighter-bomber of World War II vintage. The plane is a “shepherd,” guiding the Vampire to a safe landing, and its appearance is a gift from fate, a miracle out of time—but for one lonely pilot, the mystery has just begun.","5,545"
Ulysse,James Joyce,3.76,Fiction,"First published February 2, 1922","L'action d'Ulysse se passe en un jour, à Dublin, en 1904. Le personnage d'Ulysse est un petit employé juif, Leopold Bloom ; Stephen Dedalus, jeune Irlandais poète, est Télémaque ; Marion, femme de Bloom et qui le trompe, est Pénélope. Rien n'arrive d'extraordinaire au cours de cette journée. Bloom et Dedalus errent dans la ville, vaquant à leurs affaires, et se retrouvent le soir dans un bordel. Chaque épisode correspond à un épisode de L'Odyssée. Mais la parodie débouche sur une mise en cause du monde moderne à une époque de muflisme. Joyce exprime l'universel par le particulier. Bloom, Dedalus, Marion sont des archétypes. Toute la vie, la naissance et la mort, la recherche du père (Dedalus est aussi Hamlet), celle du fils (Bloom a perdu un fils jeune), toute l'histoire sont contenues en un seul jour. C'est à Rabelais, à Swift que l'on peut comparer l'art de Joyce qui a écrit, dans Ulysse, la grande ouvre épique et satirique de notre temps.","131,641"

"Mister Tidwell Gunner: A 19th Century Seafaring Saga of War, Self-reliance, and Survival",L. Ron Hubbard,3.73,Historical Fiction,"First published June 23, 2014","Imagine a young Laurence Olivier cast as a scholarly Oxford professor—an academic snatched out of his bookish world and pressed into service aboard Lord Nelson’s legendary British fleet—in the position of schoolmaster. Such is the life of the land-loving, seafaring Mister Tidwell, Gunner.Thrust into service at the height of the Napoleonic Wars, Tidwell soon finds himself directly in the line of fire and way out of his depth. Fate has cast him into a terrible and terrifying spot—alone on deck to face the fearsome approach of a French man-o’-war.The professor is about to get an object lesson in war, self-reliance . . . and survival. Overwhelmed by the smell of gunpowder, the sound of cannons, and the sight of death, he will either experience the sweet taste of victory . . . or the bitter taste of his own blood.In an essay called Search for Research Hubbard wrote about how he came up with story ideas: “I want one slim, forgotten fact. From there a man can go anywhere. . . . In one old volume, for instance, I discovered that there was such a thing as a schoolmaster aboard Nelson’s ships. . . . When did this occur? . . . The Napoleonic Wars.” Drawing on this single obscure discovery, Hubbard delved deeper into the history and let his remarkable imagination do the rest. “Complete after a few days of search, I had my Mister Tidwell, Gunner.”Also includes the sea adventures The Drowned City, the story of two deep-sea divers who set out in search of a long-lost treasure only to find that the waters are full of treacherous currents and even more treacherous men; and Submarine, in which a young sailor on leave enjoys a quiet interlude with his girlfriend—only to have it interrupted by a call to duty and danger.",15

Chinese Whispers,Ben Chu,3.68,Nonfiction,"First published October 10, 2013","We think we know China. The world's most venerable and self-confident civilisation, home to the largest unified race of people on the planet, China manufactures the objects that fill our lives. We see a country peopled by docile and determined factory workers, domineering 'Tiger Mothers' obsessed with education and achievement, and a society that has put the accumulation of wealth above political freedom. Above all, we see a superpower on the rise, destined to overtake the West and to dominate the 21st century. But how accurate is this picture? What if, as Ben Chu argues, we are all engaged in a grand game of Chinese Whispers, in which the facts have become more and more distorted in the telling? We have been getting China and the Chinese wrong for centuries. From the Enlightenment philosophes, enraptured by what they imagined to be a kingdom of reason, to the Victorians who derided the 'flowery empire', outsiders have long projected their own dreams and nightmares onto this vast country. With China's economic resurgence today, many have fallen once more under the spell of this glittering new global hegemon, while others foretell terrible danger in China's return to the centre of the world stage. CHINESE WHISPERS tugs aside this age-old curtain of distortion in a powerful counterblast to modern assumptions about China. By examining the central myths, or 'whispers', that have come to dominate our view of China, Ben Chu forces us to question everything we thought we knew about world's most populous nation. The result is a surprising, penetrating insight into modern China.",275

Sinuhė Egiptietis,Mika Waltari,4.22,Historical Fiction,"First published January 1, 1945","Gyvensiu verksme ir džiaugsme, liūdesy ir baimėje, gerume ir piktybėje, tiesoje ir skriaudoje, silpnume ir stiprybėje. Kaip žmogus gyvensiu žmoguje per amžius, todėl aukų mano kapui nereikia ir nemirtingumo mano vardui nereikia. Tai parašė Sinuhė egiptietis, Tas, kuris visą gyvenimą buvo vienišas.„Sinuhė egiptietis“ – garsiausias Mikos Waltario (1908–1979) romanas. Rašytojas, vadinamas „plačiausiai žinomu Suomijos autoriumi“, per savo gyvenimą sukūrė daugybę istorinių romanų, detektyvų, novelių, eilėraščių, tačiau „Sinuhė egiptietis“ taip ir liko ryškiausia, geriausia ir labiausiai skaitytojų pamėgta knyga.Išleistas 1949-aisiais, šis romanas nuo to laiko nedingsta iš skaitytojų atminties. Vis naujos kartos atranda senovės Egiptą, apie kurio nepakartojamus papročius, spalvas, kvapus, tradicijas, prabangą ir skurdą Mika Waltari pasakoja Sinuhės egiptiečio lūpomis taip įtaigiai, kad Egipto praeitis iškyla prieš akis gyvesnė nei mūsų dabartis. Jau legenda tapo istorija, kai prancūzų egiptologams papriekaištavus rašytojui, kad jis parašė „Sinuhę egiptietį“ nė karto nebuvęs Egipte, M. Waltari išdidžiai atsakė: „Man nereikėjo vykti į Egiptą, nes aš ir taip visuomet jame gyvenau“.Faraono Echnatono valdymo laikotarpis, valdovo viltys reformuoti šalį, jo didingi užmojai, egiptiečių nusivylimas ir Egipto žlugimas praplaukia pro mūsų akis tarsi nepaprastai ryškus filmas, pasakojantis tiek apie didingą kraštą, tiek apie vieną žmogų įvykių verpete – karališkąjį faraono rūmų gydytoją Sinuhę. Paprasta, tačiau vaizdinga ir šiek tiek senoviška kalba Sinuhė, likimo valia nugyvenęs gyvenimą, kupiną nuotykių, meilės, intrigų ir neapykantos, atskleidžia, ką jis galvojo, jautė ir ko siekė. Sinuhės akimis regime apeigas, uodžiame tolimos šalies kvapus, gėrimės spalvomis ir vaizdais, pažįstame papročius – ne veltui „Sinuhė egiptietis“ dėl istorinių žinių gausybės, įtaigumo ir spalvingumo palieka neišdildomą įspūdį vis naujoms Lietuvos ir viso pasaulio skaitytojų kartoms.","25,588"

NGLND XPX,Ian Hutson,4.48,Science Fiction,"First published October 11, 2013","NGLND XPX was written to grab you by the ankle and drag you screaming into a world of funny and not so funny scifi-ish fiction, a soupcon of some dashed fine adventure and a spot of Ealing-esque farce.Rub shoulders with robots carrying teddy bears issuing tablets of Commandments to chaps wandering out of the desert. Squirm in a grandstand seat during an Industrial Revolution completely re-written just to see the new-fangled steam trains running over well-intentioned children (no real harm done). Recognise your neighbours - polite English zombies coping with the dystopian hell of a socialist victory in the General Election. Man up, madam, and do your OAP National Service during the pensioner wars with an insect species. Watch in awe and not some little discomfort as Queen Elizabeth does the dishes for Europe and the Ministry of Defence quietly saves the world from a rogue comet.No caricature is left unused. The science in the fiction is quite splendidly silly. This is a book to be read with tongue in cheek, preferably your own tongue and one of your own face cheeks unless you are very limber. The characters are as deep as summer puddles and the plots are as complicated as two planks of wood. Reality leaves the room on page one and farce enters just one chapter later. As literary feasts go this book is a paper bag of humbugs. It is the most fun that you can have with a librarian in the room without getting your ticket suspended.The title NGLND XPX is a text message nod to Admiral Nelson’s splendidly rousing signal, sent just as a bit of a rumble that we now call The Battle of Trafalgar was about to begin in 1805 - ‘England expects that every man will do his duty.’ Admiral Nelson appears nowhere in this book.The contents:* The Model-T Virgin* Begging your pardon, my lord, but Cook’s been eaten again* Robots knitting with rubber needles* Je pense it’s all going very bien* Footloose, en pas de basque* iG-Zero-D* In which Mr Cadwallader shampoos his parrot in the rain using some very dated popular science* Diary of a National Service chap* Blood-curdling screams and the Whitworth screw-thread* The Day the Earth took tea.",137

Fiançailles,Chloe Hooper,2.81,Fiction,"First published January 1, 2012","Accablée de dettes, Liese Campbell a décidé de se faire passer pour une prostituée auprès d'Alexander, un riche homme d'affaires. Employée d'une agence immobilière à Melbourne, elle a ainsi pris l'habitude de le retrouver depuis plusieurs mois, entre deux rendez-vous professionnels, dans des appartements en location pour s'adonner à des jeux érotiques copieusement rémunérés. Alexander ne sait rien du double rôle de Liese, et semble d'ailleurs s'éprendre peu à peu d'elle. Quant à Liese, même si l'argent qu'il lui offre étouffe ses scrupules, elle commence à éprouver un certain malaise par rapport au rôle qu'elle s'est façonnée, qui l'oblige à mystifier son passé et à redoubler de prudence. Résolue à quitter l'Australie, elle accepte toutefois la proposition d'Alexander de passer un weekend dans sa grande propriété agricole au milieu du bush. La perspective ne l'enchante guère, mais là-encore, la somme qu'il lui promet pour les deux jours passés en sa compagnie achèvent de la convaincre. Pourtant, au moment de leur départ pour les terres sauvages, l'attitude d'Alexander éveille d'emblée la méfiance de Liese. Il se montre en effet curieusement sombre et taciturne : ses attentes ne seront pas exactement celles qu'elle avait anticipées pour ses derniers jours en terre australienne... S'ensuit alors le récit des deux journées au cours desquelles la tension va crescendo. Entre récit érotique et thriller psychologique, Chloe Hooper fait peu à peu tomber les masques et construit un jeu de domination de plus en plus complexe. La grande demeure de style victorien en constitue le décor particulièrement dérangeant. Sous sa couche de poussière, il trahit un passé familial obscur et ne tarde pas à perdre Liese dans ses innombrables pièces froides. Prise à son propre piège, elle acquiert rapidement la conviction qu'elle ne parviendra pas à s'échapper de ce lieu reculé... Le comportement chaste et autoritaire d'Alexander, les lettres intrigantes qu'il reçoit, les robes démodées découvertes dans une chambre... Les mystères qui entourent le riche et séduisant propriétaire sont décidément nombreux. Mystères auxquels vient s'ajouter le doute quant aux intentions précises de Liese elle-même : pourquoi cherche-t-elle à le séduire envers et contre tout? Son inaction, son aveuglement parfois, sont-ils dus à un désir incontrôlable ou à sa peur panique ? Ses impressions relèvent-elles de la paranoïa ? Le lecteur ne peut en aucun cas se fier totalement au récit de la narratrice, et l'immersion dans ses pensées se fait, à l'image de la maison, de plus en plus étouffante. Parachevant cette atmosphère de sourde menace, Chloe Hooper plante un décor romanesque singulier : celui du bush australien, mystérieux et sauvage. Dans ce troisième roman imprégné de sensualité et de suspens, Hooper explore avec talent le territoire des pulsions, le thème du jeu avec les identités et les désirs. Se dérobant toujours en partie à la compréhension du lecteur, les deux personnages sont à la fois angoissants et fascinants dans leurs ambivalences. Et ce jusqu'au final énigmatique auquel mènent les dernières pages, haletantes.","1,330"
Animax #1 - Free Preview,Gotham Chopra,4.18,,"First published October 11, 2012","12-year old Max Duncan becomes the most powerful boy in the world when he gains the power to absorb the abilities and physical characteristics of any animal he touches. Lost and separated from his family during a vacation in the dense Amazon jungle, Max is chosen by the Earth Spirits as the latest in a long lineage of planetary defenders. Entrusted with a mystical artifact known as the Animus Stone, Max gains the power to absorb the abilities of any animal he touches and transform himself into a human-animal hybrid for seven minutes at a time. Taking on the attributes of lizards, lions, tigers, elephants, spiders, dolphins, and more - sometimes the transformations are gross, weird and bizarre – Max has a power no one else in the world seems to have. Joined by his faithful friends, Chris and Jenny, the three young heroes gradually find a way to use Max’s abilities to protect the planet and all its many creatures. - I would recommend this to any Elementary School who are adding more and more comics to their library. - Newsarama",71

Artemis sau Uzurparea sentimentului,Dumitru Radu Popescu,5.0,,"First published January 1, 2013","Romania, dupa doua decenii de tranzitie. Artemis, un tanar poet inovator, idealist si introvertit este angrenat in masinaria electorala a lui Mircea Vesminteanu, liderul partidului de centru si candidat la presedintie. Treptat, in ciuda unei aversiuni declarate fata de sfera politicului, poetul devine „consultantul estetic“ si totodata protejatul lui Vesminteanu, dornic, acesta din urma, sa isi atraga sustinerea intelectualilor printr-un discurs progresist, de factura noua.

واختفى كل شيء,Agatha Christie,4.28,Mystery,"First published November 6, 1939","First, there were ten—a curious assortment of strangers summoned as weekend guests to a little private island off the coast of Devon. Their host, an eccentric millionaire unknown to all of them, is nowhere to be found. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they're unwilling to reveal—and a secret that will seal their fate. For each has been marked for murder. A famous nursery rhyme is framed and hung in every room of the mansion:""Ten little boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine. Nine little boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight. Eight little boys traveling in Devon; One said he'd stay there then there were seven. Seven little boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in half and then there were six. Six little boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five. Five little boys going in for law; One got in Chancery and then there were four. Four little boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three. Three little boys walking in the zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were two. Two little boys sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up and then there was one. One little boy left all alone; He went out and hanged himself and then there were none.""When they realize that murders are occurring as described in the rhyme, terror mounts. One by one they fall prey. Before the weekend is out, there will be none. Who has choreographed this dastardly scheme? And who will be left to tell the tale?

Sobre esta serie de caminos, el popular escritor argentino ofrece unos mapas de territorio para que cada uno recorra el suyo propio a su ritmo y eligiendo el trayecto. ""Ser feliz -afirma el autor- no es un derecho solamente, también es, de muchas maneras, una obligación contraída con la vida."" En El camino de la felicidad Jorge Bucay invita a plantearse una manera propia de vivir y a centrarse en lo que hace falta para encontrar esta felicidad que tanto se desea. Habla de la ilusión, el deseo, la acción y el desafío de intentar ser quienes somos de verdad. La felicidad está en manos de cada uno. Depende de una búsqueda personal e intransferible, una postura incondicional hacia la propia vida. En palabras del autor: ""Ser feliz no quiere decir necesariamente estar disfrutando, sino vivir la serenidad que me da saber que estoy en el camino correcto hacia algo placentero, disfrutable, hacia algo que tiene sentido para mí"".

My Best Friend with Wings,Pete Vellucci Jr.,5.0,,"First published September 30, 2013","This is the original-cover edition for ASIN B00FJQYG6E.The grieving process: we all have one, and we all go through it at one time or another. But how do we know if we're doing it right, and what would you do if yours was broken; or worse what if you didn't even know? Would you continue down a road of denial despite the otherwise clear evidence that it might cost your sanity... and possibly your life? That's what happened to me, and what I share with you in this practically true tale. Because we all believe we understand the grieving process, but we seldom share our own with others. It's messy. It's painful. It's needed. [the following description of the work is paraphrased from the author's personal website] My Best Friend with Wings is an entirely independent and deeply personal project which took three years to complete. In February of 2010, one of my best friends passed away. He had been an artistic guy who inspired creativity in those around him, and after he died, I knew I wanted to do something to honor his memory. In November of that year, I began writing... intending to give the world a chance to see him as I had seen him. Inadvertently, the story became a tale of my inability to come to terms with his death; and by writing it, I found my own path to acceptance.",1

Sława i Fortuna. Listy Do Michaela Kandla 1972-1987,Stanisław Lem,4.13,Polish Literature,"First published October 1, 2013","Czy o Stanisławie Lemie napisano i powiedziano już wszystko? Wydaje się, że twórczość wybitnego pisarza i myśliciela została wystarczająco głęboko zanalizowana: co chwila ukazują się kolejne książki i artykuły na temat jego powieści, o niesłabnącym zainteresowaniu Lemem świadczą też kolejne ekranizacje jego prozy. Przed nami jednak wydarzenie, które może rzucić zupełnie nowe światło na życie i dzieło autora Solaris. W październiku nakładem Wydawnictwa Literackiego ukaże się książka Sława i Fortuna – będą to wszystkie listy pisane przez Stanisława Lema do jego amerykańskiego tłumacza Michaela Kandla.Z wielu powodów będzie to publikacja wyjątkowa. Listy pochodzą z lat 1972 – 1987, przy czym ogromną większość z nich Lem wysłał za ocean w latach 70-tych. Dla pisarza był to czas bardzo udany. To wtedy napisał swoje ważne książki, takie jak Golem XIV, Maska, Fiasko, czy Pokój na Ziemi. Lem rozwija w tym okresie swój światopogląd i, co być może jest jeszcze ważniejsze, zaczyna odczuwać coś, co dzisiaj nazwalibyśmy stabilizacją zawodową. Stanisław Lem wraz z coraz częstszymi tłumaczeniami swoich utworów osiąga sukces poza granicami bloku socjalistycznego. Krok po kroku podbija Zachód. Głównym tematem listów pisanych do Michaela Kandla jest właśnie ów sukces. Lem szczegółowo, czasem poważnie, a czasem w zabawny sposób opowiada o swoich zmaganiach z nie do końca uczciwymi wydawcami; czytelnik dopuszczony jest do tajemnic, które wcześniej nie wychodziły na światło dzienne.Wybitny znawca twórczości Lema, profesor Jerzy Jarzębski: Korespondencja z Kandlem to opowieść o sukcesie, o tym, jak nie sprzeniewierzając się intelektualnej rzetelności i artystycznej doskonałości, można coraz wyżej podnosić poprzeczkę, a jednocześnie nie rezygnować z milionów odbiorców, sławy wśród elit i nawet – z pieniędzy, które przychodzą nieco później, ale w ilościach więcej niż zadowalających. Opowieść Lema nie jest jednak radosna: to wszystko dzieje się w jednostkowym życiu, które wypełnione jest chorobami, rozczarowaniami, stopniowym osłabieniem wiary w potrzebę twórczości. Zarazem pojedynczy ludzie i całe społeczeństwa obnażają swe najgorsze cechy, historia wciąż zawodzi oczekiwania, zagadki świata nie znajdują definitywnych rozwiązań, a w miejsce Boga-opiekuna ludzkości, w którego nie sposób uwierzyć, wchodzi pustka daremnie szukająca wypełnienia.Lem w swoich długich i stojących na wysokim poziomie artystycznym listach w wielu miejscach tłumaczy Michaelowi Kandlowi główne idee swych utworów. W żadnym innym miejscu pisarz tak jawnie nie analizował swoich dzieł, dla miłośników Lema bez wątpienia książka Sława i Fortuna będzie kopalnią wiedzy. Te listy to przewodnik po świecie utworów Lema i ogromna ilość bezcennych informacji na temat pisarskiej kuchni. Oczywiście Lem nie byłby sobą, gdyby także i w listach nie bawił się słowami i formą – duże partie tekstu to prawdziwe perełki i popis literackiego kunsztu, dzięki któremu mógł wodzić za nos cenzurę i opowiedzieć swemu amerykańskiemu tłumaczowi więcej niż oficjalnie mógł. Lem czasem sięga po formę naukowego wykładu, a czasami pełnymi garściami korzysta z dobrodziejstw innych gatunków: opowiadania, anegdoty, a nawet reportażu. To wszystko sprawia, że listy pisane do Kandla to najlepsza obok listów do Sławomira Mrożka korespondencja pozostawiona przez Stanisława Lema.Sekretarz pisarza Wojciech Zemek: Listy do Michaela Kandla stanowią czystą esencję korespondencji Stanisława Lema. Kandel pełni tutaj rolę uważnego słuchacza, odbiorcy doskonałego i katalizatora. Dzięki temu powstała bogata i wielopoziomowa relacja, którą czyta się jak świetną realistyczną powieść. Podstawowa płaszczyzna dyskursu to autor i tłumacz, gwarantująca temu ostatniemu (a przy okazji również i czytelnikowi) najwyższy stopień wtajemniczenia w kwestiach dotyczących twórczości Lema. Kolejna to Mistrz i Uczeń, pobierający życiowe nauki. Pisarz i krytyk. Wybitny twórca i adept, stawiający pierwsze kroki w dziedzinie literatury. Człowiek z komunistycznego Wschodu oraz konsumpcyjnego Zachodu, przedzieleni niezniszczalną, jak się wtedy wydawało, żelazną kurtyną. Wszystko to składa się na fascynującą dysputę, podczas której dogłębnie poznajemy Lema-pisarza, filozofa i człowieka. Czytelnik otrzymuje spójne kompendium, będące z jednej strony komentarzem i kluczem do twórczości Lema, egzegezą jej naczelnych wątków, a z drugiej kopalnią wiadomości na temat samego Autora. Książka Stanisława Lema Sława i Fortuna. Listy do Michaela Kandla 1972–1987 ukaże się tuż przed Targami Książki w Krakowie - 17 października.",16

Bu törenlerin içeriğini inceleyen Kerenyi, arkeolojik bulguları, sanatsal objeleri ve dinler tarihini de göz önüne almakta ve diğer uygarlıkların mitolojileriyle pek çok ortaklıklar kurmaktadır.",163
Exploring Mysticism: A Methodological Essay,Frits Staal,3.88,Mysticism,"First published July 1, 1975","Until less than a century ago, the two prevailing views of dreams as well as of souls were that they are inconsequential (the scientific view) or of divine origin (the religious view). In either case it was assumed that they cannot be objects of rational inquiry. Similar views still prevail regarding mystical experiences and mysticism in general. Modern Western opinion, whether friendly or hostile, holds that the mystical falls squarely within the domain of the irrational. Mr. Staal argues that mysticism can be studied rationally, and that without such study no theory of mind is complete. He exposes the grounds for the belief that mysticism cannot be studied, and shows them to be prejudices issuing from a particular historical development. While his contention has unflattering implications for the contemporary study of the humanities in general, it reveals in particular that existing academic approaches to the study of mysticism, even those that appear sound, are in fact inadequate. This conclusion applies to a variety of dogmatic inquiries and, as becomes clear in these pages, to philological, historical, phenomenological, sociological, physiological, and psychological ones as well.The illustrations in ""Exploring Mysticism"" are drawn mainly from Indian forms of mysticism such as Yoga, supplemented with Buddhist, Taoist, Muslim and Christian examples.",17

5678 Bước Chân Quanh Hồ Gươm,Nguyễn Ngọc Tiến,3.88,,"First published January 1, 2008","5678 bước chân quanh hồ Gươm, cái tên đã nói lên không gian của cuốn sách mà nhà nghiên cứu Nguyễn Ngọc Tiến dựng nên. Từ những công trình kiến trúc xung quanh con đường ven mặt hồ trung tâm của Hà Nội trải từ xưa đến giờ, qua nhiều thế kỷ, những di tích, đường sá, những cây xanh và những con người gắn với hồ Gươm (còn gọi là hồ Hoàn Kiếm, mà người Hà Nội gọi tắt là Bờ Hồ), cuốn tản văn đã mở ra những chồng lớp lịch sử của một không gian văn hóa đặc sắc và độc nhất vô nhị.Như chính tác giả đã tâm sự ở lời tựa, “Từ khi trở thành phóng viên báo Hà Nội mới, hồ Hoàn Kiếm càng quen thuộc với tôi vì tòa soạn nằm kế bên. Lúc rỗi việc, tôi thường thẩn thơ dạo quanh hồ và nhận ra rằng vẫn còn nhiều chuyện chưa viết. Đó là những chuyện truyền miệng, chuyện khó nói và có thể dưới mắt nhiều người nó lặt vặt song đôi khi nó là cái hồn của đời sống thị dân. Thế là ý tưởng cuốn sách 5678 bước chân quanh hồ Gươm ra đời từ năm 2002. Sở dĩ đặt tên sách như vậy vì tôi đi dạo quanh hồ Gươm hết từng ấy bước chân”. Cuốn sách bắt đầu theo tiến trình thời gian, bắt đầu từ tượng Lý Thái Tổ, vị vua có công đầu xây dựng Thăng Long, theo chiều kim đồng hồ mà kể.“Tuy nhiên, ngoài chuyện không đầu không cuối, tôi cũng lan man những điều tôi đọc trong sách, tôi chứng kiến và cảm nhận được về Thăng Long-Hà Nội”. Lối viết thoải mái, dạo chơi từ chuyện này sang chuyện khác cũng chính là thứ làm cho cuốn sách có sức hấp dẫn riêng. Mạch chuyện tuân theo tiến trình con đường vòng quanh Bờ Hồ, nơi cả hơn trăm năm qua chứng kiến bao sự thăng trầm của thời cuộc, nơi phô bày những nét đặc trưng của Hà Nội, từ đó những số phận được kể lên, hoặc ngậm ngùi thương cảm hoặc thanh thản tĩnh tại.",25

Và tôi vẫn dựa vào đó để an ủi mình trong cuộc sống đầy phức tạp mà tôi đang sống.”-Truyện ngắn “Như tiếng dương cầm”Giọng kể không quá xuất sắc và nặng về tư duy văn học, nhưng có một sức cuốn hút riêng và một phong cách rõ rệt. Những câu chuyện không chỉ đơn thuần nói về một khía cạnh nào đó mà thường tựu chung nhiều vần đề lẩn khuất trong cuộc sống của những người trẻ, giữa tình cảm phức tạp bên trong và những tình huống giản dị đời thường.“Từ khi gia đình tôi phá sản, tiền và vật chất trở nên quan trọng với tôi hơn bất cứ thứ gì. Dù ba mẹ luôn luôn cãi nhau trước đó, dù cho họ dường như chẳng hề yêu nhau, tôi vẫn tin nếu không có sự suy sụp về vật chất, thì có lạnh đến đâu, cũng có thể cứu vãn.Những ngày ấy, mẹ khóc mỗi đêm, trong tiếng vỡ của cốc chén. Tôi hiểu rượu không giúp người ta lấy lại tiền bạc, nhưng có thể làm đau thêm nhiều chỗ khác để tạm thời quên đi một chỗ đau. Những ngày như thế là tồi tệ, và những ngày sau đó là vô cùng tồi tệ. Mẹ đã rời khỏi sự ràng buộc, rời khỏi thiên chức vì tôi bấy lâu nay, để tới những chân trời mới, tự do, ít nước mắt.Ba và tôi để mất người phụ nữ duy nhất, theo cách ấy. Tôi không muốn một xáo trộn nào trong cuộc sống này nữa, như vậy là quá đủ, con lắc đã đứt dây thì không nên nối lại làm gì cả, dao động thêm những quỹ đạo tật nguyền, để rồi lại rơi thêm lần nữa, xa hơn.Hàng đêm ba tôi vẫn gục đầu bên li rượu, thêm đầy và rót thêm đầy. Tôi vẫn luôn chờ tiếng cửa phòng ba đóng lại, rồi mới nhắm mắt. Sáng ra lại đầy mảnh vỡ. Ba uống cả nỗi cô đơn! Tôi không hiểu tại sao, chỉ đến khi mất đi, người ta mới biết đớn đau, biết tiếc nuối!”-Truyện ngắn “Cung đường lá bay”Đọc Người đi bán nắng, bạn đọc có thể bắt gặp chính mình, hoặc những cảm xúc đã từng trải qua, những cảnh vật, những con người đâu đó đã gặp, lướt qua nhau, hay thân thiết gắn bó. Một sự quen thuộc chốc chốc lại hiện hữu khi cầm trên tay tập truyện này. Không nặng về tư tưởng đạo lý, không tạo sự bùng nổ giật gân, rất nhẹ nhàng, Người đi bán nắng len lỏi vào tâm hồn người đọc những xúc cảm mát lành, những thanh âm trong trẻo để người ta sống chậm lại, dù chỉ một giây, biết trân trọng quá khứ, nhìn thấu hiện tại, và hướng về tương lai. Một cuốn sách của những trái tim trẻ và khao khát sống.MỘT ĐỜI, CÓ BIẾT BAO NGƯỜI ĐI QUA TA?""Thế giới này nhỏ lắm, chỉ cần xoay người một cái là chẳng biết bạn sẽ gặp được ai.Nhưng thế giới này cũng lớn lắm, chỉ cần quay lưng bước đi là có thể sẽ chẳng bao giờ được gặp lại...""Đôi khi ta tự ví ta như một tài xế taxi, vòng vo đón khách, tài xế và khách cùng chia sẻ cho nhau một phần nho nhỏ cuộc đời, rồi khi khách tìm được bến đỗ của họ, coi như ta đã hoàn thành nhiệm vụ. Giữa vô vàn những hành khách lên rồi xuống xe, tìm được ai là người có thể đồng hành cùng ta trong quãng đường cao tốc dài dằng dặc của chính mình?Không phải ai đến cũng là để ở lại. Chỉ sợ ta không nhận ra người xứng đáng ở lại mà thôi. Người ta có nhau thì khó, chứ lạc mất nhau lại quá dễ dàng.- Người đi bán nắng",63

Lei e suo marito non sono tipi da gatto. Il fatto che stiano andando a vederne una cucciolata non vuol dire niente. Ma il mantra si inceppa di fronte al colpo di fulmine tra il bambino e quel batuffolo di pelo nero. Tra due mesi Cleo arriverà a casa loro. Pochi giorni dopo, però, tutto va in frantumi. Mentre corre a soccorrere un uccellino ferito, Sam viene investito da un'auto sotto gli occhi del fratellino Rob. La famiglia si cristallizza su quell'istante. Dopo, nulla più conta, figurarsi una gattina che doveva essere il regalo di compleanno di Sam. Quel gatto viene da un altro mondo, un mondo che non esiste più, e non ha senso che resti. Helen sta per rimandarla indietro, ma è proprio allora che lo vede. Vede suo figlio Rob sorridere, per la prima volta dal giorno dell'incidente. E se Cleo fosse un dono lasciato da Sam? Con il passo vacillante, il pelo gonfio, la coda a radar e un caratterino di tutto rispetto, nel giro di poche ore Cleo trasforma la casa in un territorio di caccia, dispensando guai, tenerezza e buonumore a non finire. E a colpi di fusa lenisce a poco a poco le ferite. La sua saggezza antica protegge per anni la famiglia, accompagnandola nei molti cambiamenti che la aspettano. Perché da vera gatta sciamana sa che anche dietro l'angolo più buio può brillare la felicità.","5,068"

"NIV, Books of the Bible",Anonymous,4.77,Reference,"First published January 1, 2007","Return to the Bible as it was before chapters and verses. The Bible isn’t a single book. it'sa collection of many books that were written, preserved and gathered together so that they could be shared with new generations of readers. The Bible is an invitation to you to first view the world in a new way, and then to become an agent of the world’s renewal. The Books of the Bible, NIV helps you have a more meaningful encounter with the sacred writings and to read with more understanding, so that you can take your place more readily within this story of new creation. This is a revolutionary new presentation of the NIV Scripture that strips away centuries of artificial formatting, leaving behind nothing but pure Bible text. The result is a Bible unlike any other available today — and more like the original specially designed to be read from start to finish.“There is no Bible more suited to reading from beginning to end.” — Scot McKnight, author of Jesus this edition of the Bible differs from the most common current format in several significant • Chapter and verse numbers have been removed from the text• The books are presented instead according to the internal divisions that we believe their authors have indicated• A single-column setting is used to present the text more clearly and naturally, and to avoid disrupting the intended line breaks in poetry• Footnotes, section headings and any other additional materials have been removed from the pages of the sacred text• Individual books that later tradition divided into two or more parts are put back together again• The books are arranged in an order that helps you understand the Bible more completely.",145

Erwachen zum großen Schlafkrieg,Gert Jonke,3.49,Fiction,"First published January 1, 1982","Hier ist die Welt aus den Angeln: Die Fahnen hält es nicht auf den Masten, die Deckel nicht auf den Töpfen. Straßenbahnschienen schütteln Haltestellen ab, während ganze Bücherstapel aus den Bibliotheken fliehen. 1982 hat der österreichische Schriftsteller Gert Jonke ""Erwachen zum großen Schlafkrieg"" geschrieben, eine virtuose Erzählung, in der sich die Wirklichkeit einer Stadt auflöst. Was wäre, wenn die steinernen Figuren an den Portalen der Häuser ihre Last nicht mehr trügen?

Mây chiều bảng lảng,Nguyễn Khoa Đăng,0.0,,"First published January 1, 2013","Mâu thuẫn lồng ghép trong mâu thuẫn, li kỳ và hấp dẫn là những ấn tượng ban đầu khi đọc cuốn tiểu thuyết ""Mây chiều bảng lảng"" của tác giả Nguyễn Khoa Đăng. Có thể đề tài viết về hôn nhân, gia đình thời hiện đại là một đề tài không còn mới trong những năm gần đây nhưng với cách viết rất có nghề, tập trung khai thác khía cạnh tâm lý nhân vật lúc bảng lảng, lúc cao trào quằn quại, biết nhấn nhá và nắm bắt những nỗi niềm, những suy tư trăn trở của nhân vật đã tạo nên nét quyến rũ riêng của tác phẩm.Mây chiều bảng lảng viết về cuộc sống hôn nhân giữa hai vợ chồng ông Thổ Trì. Sự hoài nghi của người vợ, sự nhún nhường của người chồng vô hình đã tạo ra một bi kịch. Thế mới biết cái ghen tuông của đàn bà ghê gớm thật. Ghen cả với người tình trong thơ của chồng thì khiếp quá. Sự mất lòng tin ở người bạn đời sẽ phá vỡ tất cả những yêu thương, xây đắp bao nhiêu năm. Đỉnh điểm của việc ghen tuông đến mức điên cuồng của người vợ là không cho chồng động vào người mình, bà cho rằng đôi bàn tay của chồng đã dính đầy ô bẩn. Đọc tác phẩm, khiến người đọc có nhiều cảm xúc, vừa trách bà vợ ghen tuông mù quáng, lại trách thương ông chồng nhu nhược. Vừa buồn lại vừa thú vị. Sự ra đi hay đúng hơn là trốn chạy khỏi mái ấm của mình rồi quay trở lại của ông Thổ Trì giống như vòng luẩn quẩn, thương mà giận, cay nghiệt mà xót thương về nỗi đau đàn ông thời hiện đại. Để đến cuối tác phẩm chúng ta chợt thấy rằng: “Mỗi một cuộc sống, mỗi một số phận đều có những nỗi niềm, những suy tư trăn trở riêng và đáng để suy ngẫm”.",0

Der Mann der den Eiffelturm verkaufte - Graf Victor Lustig,Michael Esser,3.67,,"First published April 1, 2010","Ein Grafentitel, perfektes Auftreten, vornehme Zurückhaltung, einnehmendes Wesen, eine Portion Rätselhaftigkeit und - in den 20er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts durchaus chic - eine gekonntes Maß an aristokratischer Tragik: Verlust von Hab und Gut durch den verlorenen Weltkrieg - mit Charme, Klugheit und Chuzpe jedoch schnell wieder auf die Füße und zu Geld gekommen.Diese Rolle spielt Victor Lustig in Amerika und Europa so gekonnt, dass er gut 15 Jahre lang als redegewandter Graf von hoher Beliebtheit gilt - obwohl er in dieser Zeit einige Zeitgenossen um beträchtliche Summen erleichtert hat. Doch kaum jemand macht das öffentlich oder will ihn dafür belangen - zu peinlich ist den Opfern die Sache meist. Wer will auch schon darüber reden, dass man vor ein paar Tagen von einem sehr seriös wirkenden Herrn den Eiffelturm in Paris gekauft hat?Das wirklich Einzigartige an Graf Victor Lustig war, dass er seine Opfer in Geschichten zu verstricken verstand, die ihre Gier oder Eitelkeit so sehr anfachten, dass sie blind wurden für die Verrücktheiten, die er ihnen auftischte - und ihm so auf den Leim gingen.",3
Making Faces,Amy Harmon,4.3,Romance,"First published October 12, 2013","Ambrose Young was beautiful. He was tall and muscular, with hair that touched his shoulders and eyes that burned right through you. The kind of beautiful that graced the covers of romance novels, and Fern Taylor would know. She'd been reading them since she was thirteen. But maybe because he was so beautiful he was never someone Fern thought she could have...until he wasn't beautiful anymore.Making Faces is the story of a small town where five young men go off to war, and only one comes back. It is the story of loss. Collective loss, individual loss, loss of beauty, loss of life, loss of identity. It is the tale of one girl's love for a broken boy, and a wounded warrior's love for an unremarkable girl. This is a story of friendship that overcomes heartache, heroism that defies the common definitions, and a modern tale of Beauty and the Beast, where we discover that there is a little beauty and a little beast in all of us.","77,512"
Z letopisů Angrie,Charlotte Brontë,3.76,Classics,"First published January 1, 1839","V zemi zvané Angrie se může stát leccos. Žijí tu hrdinové i zbabělci, daří se tu lásce i intrikám, mají tu požívačného panovníka, který má žárlivou manželku a krásnou, oddanou milenku... Zní vám slovo „Angrie“ podobně jako „Anglie“? Jste na správné stopě. Charlotte Brontëová si ve své fantazii vysnila svět, který se podobá viktoriánské Anglii, ale zároveň je mnohem pitoresknější. A především – nestranný pozorovatel si tu může dovolit nazývat věci pravými jmény, beztrestně si vyřizovat účty s lidmi, kteří si to zaslouží, a zachce-li se mu, vysměje se dobovým konvencím. Příběhy obsažené v knize Z letopisů Angrie jsou autorčinými juveniliemi, ale Charlotte Brontëová už v nich používá vypravěčský styl, jenž ji později proslavil. Letopisy začala psát společně se svým bratrem Branwellem, a jak uvádějí spisovatelčini životopisci, v období dospívání se pro ni budování imaginárního království a vymýšlení osudů jeho obyvatel stalo takřka obsesí. Dnešní čtenáři mohou obdivovat, s jakou bezelstností dokázala budoucí velká spisovatelka stvořit důmyslnou alegorii našeho světa a našich životů.",505

Droit d'auteur et droits voisins,Michel Vivant,5.0,,"First published January 1, 2012","La première édition de cet ouvrage a été couronnée par le premier Prix du Livre juridique décerné par le Conseil constitutionnel pour un ouv rage innovant. La présente édition, fidèle à l'esprit de la première, est fortement enrichie. Elle couvre désormais droit d'auteur et droits voisins et comporte de substantiels développements de droit internati onal privé. Appréhendant avec logiciel ou compositions florales des objets bien él oignés du poème ou de l'opéra, le droit d'auteur n'est plus ce qu'il é tait naguère encore. Élément majeur d'une économie de l'immatériel, il doit aujourd'hui être considéré tout autant comme un instrument de ma îtrise d'un marché que comme un moyen d'assurer la défense de l'auteur dans son identité créatrice. Bien évidemment placé sous les feux du d roit communautaire, il est également pris dans le grand jeu de la mond ialisation. Ainsi en va-t-il aussi des droits significativement dits v oisins qui, dans la continuité du droit d'auteur, répondent à leur pro pre logique mais participent aussi à un jeu complexe de contrôle de ma rchés. Le présent ouvrage offre ainsi une vision pleinement contemporaine de la matière. Sans en ignorer pour autant tous les acquis, il entend, en effet, présenter droit d'auteur et droits voisins tels qu'ils sont et tels qu'ils sont pratiqués dans la réalité. S'agissant du droit d'aut eur, la démarche adoptée a consisté à explorer tour à tour très classi quement la reconnaissance et la mise en œuvre de celui-ci, s'intéressa nt pour ce faire à l'objet du droit, à ses titulaires, aux prérogative s qui y sont attachées, tout comme aux «contrats d'auteur», à la gesti on collective ou à l'action en contrefaçon.

Laura's ass was a work of art. He stroked and squeezed the sweet mounds.She moved her butt against his hands. “Ooh, that feels so good. I've been fantasizing all day about you touching me like this.”“Have you now?” Chase unzipped her skirt and slid it down over her hips. Laura stepped out of the clothing, pushed the stack of drawings out of her way, and stretched out further across the conference room table. She widened her stance and wiggled her ass in wanton invitation. “And what other wicked thoughts have you been thinking?” Chase gave her a playful slap on the rump, savoring the faint pink imprint left by his hand. Laura moaned. “You're making me so wet.”Chase brought his hand down with firm authority on the other cheek, then slipped his fingers between her legs. Laura hadn't been exaggerating; her slit was slippery with lubrication. Delving higher under her thong, he found her clitoris and lightly fondled the sensitive nub. “Tell me about your fantasies,” he ordered, as she moved her hips against his fingers, increasing the friction.“It's the middle of the work day and we're in the conference room, just like now,” Laura began.“Just like now?” Chase asked, a note of incredulity in his voice. “Would you disrupt the whole office with your wanton behavior, woman?”“No. Yes!” Laura amended with a soft cry as Chase spanked her again with more force.“You are a very bad girl,” Chase exclaimed, glowering at her with feigned anger. “Stand up,” he said, stepping away from her. “Turn around.”  He eyed her sexy body. The delightful mounds of her breasts pushing out of the top of her bra, the tiny triangle of satin hiding her wet pussy. His cock thrummed with the need to bury itself in Laura's quivering slit. Not yet. It'll only get better.Chase walked across the room to the informal sitting area and threw himself down on the couch. Frowning, he beckoned her closer. “You will tell me every detail of this dirty fantasy of yours. Leave out nothing or your punishment will be severe. Do you understand?”",3

Tất cả em cần là tình yêu,Quỳnh Scarlett,3.5,,"First published September 1, 2013","Hạ Hương chẳng hề là kiểu phụ nữ độc nhất, kì lạ, hiếm thấy, nghìn người có một, cô là một cô gái đô thị điển hình: xinh đẹp, tài năng, học thức, nhạy cảm thiên bẩm, khát yêu đến mức tôn thờ. Có khác chăng là cô không ngồi chờ phép màu của định mệnh mà xông pha vào chỗ gian khó của chiến trường hẹn hò như một dũng sĩ bất chấp hiểm nguy để tìm cho ra một bóng tình nhân hoàn hảo. Cô chẳng trang bị thứ vũ khí hữu dụng nào hơn một trái tim luôn biết rung động với cảm xúc yêu đương và một niềm tin kinh điển ""phải hôn nhiều con ếch mới gặp được hoàng tử"". Cô đã đi, và đã gặp một nửa của mình sau chặng hành trình đầy đam mê, nước mắt, niềm thương, sự hối tiếc. Chính điều đó đã khiến cho thành quả cuối con đường trở nên ngọt ngào viên mãn hơn. Còn bao nhiêu cô gái băn khoăn trên bước đường tình của mình, còn bấy nhiêu người sẽ tìm được sự đồng cảm với Hạ Hương.*****Cuốn tiểu thuyết không ""nặng"" mùi triết lý, không nhiều thủ thuật trong ngôn ngữ nhưng sự gần gũi, nhẹ nhàng và lãng mạn của nó đã khiến những trái tim yêu rung động. Ai đó sẽ dễ dàng nhận thấy vài tình huống trong câu chuyện mình cũng đã từng trải qua nhưng có thể cách xử lý của mỗi người mỗi khác... và cách xử lý tình huống của nữ nhân vật chính biết đâu lại là những gợi ý rất tế nhị cho những cô gái cùng lứa tuổi đang bối rối khi yêu và đang cần được học cách sống thật hơn với chính mình nhưng vẫn giữ được sự duyên dáng tự nhiên... để đạt được những cảm xúc yêu tuyệt vời nhất!...Và chỉ có tình yêu mới có thể viết được một tiểu thuyết nồng nàn đến thế!",2
Ngoại Tình Với Cô Đơn,Quỳnh Scarlett,1.67,,"First published September 1, 2013","“Có thể nào, phút chốc ấy đã yêu một người?”“Có thể nào, đã yêu Vũ chỉ sau một đêm?” Sự gặp gỡ, sự gắn kết, mối tình, những hồ nghi và phần nhiều mong mỏi, của Hạ Hương tôi đồ rằng không có gì khác lạ. Như hết thảy những mối duyên trên đời, tôi đã gặp tương tự thế hoặc y hệt thế, bạn cũng vậy. Tác giả không chủ định viết về sự lạ, về những mối tình lớn đến mức ngạt thở, về những duyên và nợ xác suất thấp, nghìn người mới một trải. Tác giả viết về những mối tình phổ cập, chân phương, với đầy đủ những cung bậc hoan hạnh và thống khổ như là viết một cẩm nang giáo khoa về tình ái. Và những câu hỏi không lời đáp, cũng bình thường như sẵn đậu trên môi những người tình. Khi họ bước vào ngưỡng cửa Đam mê.“Tôi luôn nghĩ về em, Hạ Hương, như một người có toàn quyền yêu say đắm, đau tan nát, rồi tự hàn gắn, tự vượt qua. Không phải vì em vô tâm, vô yêu, nhưng vì tôi cảm thấy ở nơi em, tình yêu đã như là thở rồi, tự nhiên mạnh mẽ và đầy sức sống. Em ngủ dậy, em cười với cuộc đời, và em yêu.”Không chừng lời đáp đậu sẵn bên cạnh câu hỏi. Giây phút nào tim còn rung nhịp, giây phút ấy ta sẵn lòng ngả mình vào đền thờ Tình. Trừ phi là kẻ đã già, trừ phi là kẻ bị phế đi rung động. Nhân vật Hạ Hương tìm thấy, buông bỏ và tìm lại những mối liên hệ với tình nhân, chỉ bởi vì cô chưa tin lời đáp, chưa xác tín một chân lý là đã thở thì phải yêu. Dấn mình vào hành trình yêu đầy thương khó, Hạ Hương chỉ muốn tìm lấy câu trả lời cho mình: Chúng ta được gì khi yêu. Hỡi ôi, chưa ai được trong tình bao giờ, người ta chỉ mất đi. Mất nhiều nước mắt, mất những giấc ngủ ngon, mất trăm nghìn thứ khác. Người ta hy sinh hết để không phải mất thứ này: trái tim từ ái, lòng bao dung và che chở.Như muôn vàn người Nữ khác, Hạ Hương đã sống và yêu như bản năng trời ban.Và tác giả, cô cũng viết và yêu theo cùng một cách. Những chữ của cô vì vậy, cứu tôi qua những ngày buồn bã và giết đi phần lạnh lùng khô đắng trong tôi.(Nhạc sỹ Quốc Bảo)",3

The Love of Destiny:  The Sacred and the Profane in Germanic Polytheism,Dan McCoy,3.59,Paganism,"First published January 1, 2013","The Love of Destiny: The Sacred and the Profane in Germanic Polytheism is a relatively short book by Dan McCoy, the author of the articles on Norse-Mythology.org. Written in a style that is somewhere between a philosophy essay and a prose poem, The Love of Destiny is a much fuller presentation of many of the recurring big-picture themes in the articles on this site. It attempts to articulate the heart of the indigenous Germanic worldview – the unconditional affirmation of the world as the very embodiment of the gods – and to show how the rest of that worldview is structured around that central idea. To do this, it “translates” the narratives and images that comprise the pre-Christian mythology of the Norse and other Germanic peoples into the more familiar idiom of conceptual language, and contrasts this polytheistic mythology with the mythology of four monotheistic religions: ancient Judaism, Greek rationalism, Christianity, and modern science. It argues that many of the most pressing philosophical and theological debates of the last several centuries, such as those over the “problem of evil” and the relationship between the “objective” and the “subjective,” frame the issues in counterproductive, “otherworldly” ways, and shows how Germanic polytheism offers compelling alternatives. Ultimately, it evokes a way of engaging with the more-than-human world that honors our inescapable entanglement within it.See below for the Table of Contents and a sample section.When you purchase a copy of this book, you help keep this site up and running, and I sincerely hope you feel that you’ve gotten your money’s worth and then some. This book was the result of several years of research, experience, contemplation, and writing. I wrote and scrapped three different versions of it before finally arriving at a version that I felt satisfied with enough to offer publicly. Hopefully that effort is apparent in the quality of the text itself.Tables of ContentsIntroductionI. Prologue- Polytheism and MonotheismII. The Origins and Worldview of Monotheism- The Hebrews- The Greeks- The Christians- The ScientistsIII. The Sacred and the Profane- Spirit and Flesh- Myth- Reason- PerspectivismIV. Destiny- The Turning of Being- The Eternal CircleGlossary of Old Norse WordsBibliographySample SectionThis is the section “Spirit and Flesh” from Chapter Three, “The Sacred and the Profane:”From a polytheistic perspective, the visible world is not a negation of the invisible world of spirit, but its fulfillment. The words that William Blake chose to end The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, “Everything that lives is holy,” apply to all that we perceive and experience, no matter how grand and luminous, no matter how vile and distressing.In his unfinished masterpiece, The Visible and the Invisible, the French phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty wrote: “[Ideas] could not be given to us as ideas except in a carnal experience. It is not only that we would find in that carnal experience the occasion to think them; it is that they owe their authority, their fascinating, indestructible power, precisely to the fact that they are in transparency behind the sensible, or in its heart… [The idea] is the invisible of this world, that which inhabits this world, sustains it, and renders it visible.” The intuition and imagination, far from being “subjective” and therefore of little to no consequence where the real is concerned, have an openness upon the real that equals that of the senses. The mythical beings, realms, and events that they perceive are not false or nonexistent simply because they elude the senses, but rather dwell within an ordinarily latent – and yet ultimately deeper – modality of the world. Nor should the senses be shunned, for that which they divulge is fastened to that which is divulged by the invisible components of perception. Perception’s visible and invisible parts cannot be isolated from one another; both are integrated into a seamless whole. Such, at least, is how we are surely to understand the Roman historian Tacitus’s description of the religion of the Germanic tribes: “Their holy places are the woods and groves, and they apply the names of gods to those hidden presences seen only by the eye of reverence.”Despite its origins in the Latin word mater, “mother,” our modern word “matter” has been invested with connotations of inertness, insensitivity, barrenness. To call it “dead” would be to impart to it too much life – it was never living in the first place. Against this Cartesian tendency, Merleau-Ponty described the visible world as flesh, within which all of us visible beings are intertwining sinews.There is a particular resonance with Germanic mythology in his choice of words. Before the world as we today know it had emerged, there was only the primordial chaos of Ginnungagap (“Great Abyss”). Ymir (“Scream”), the animating spirit of this void of undisturbed silence and darkness, was slain by Óðinn and his brothers Vili (“Will”) and Vé (“Consecration”), who then crafted the visible world from his flesh. As it is recounted in the Eddic poem Grímnismál:Ór Ymis holdiVar jǫrð of skǫpuð,En ór sveita sær,Bjǫrg ór beinum,Baðmr ór hári,En ór hausi himinn.En ór hans brámGerðu blíð reginMiðgarð manna sonum,En ór hans heilaVáru þau in harðmóðguSký ǫll of skǫpuð.[From Ymir's hideWas earth created,Seas from sweat,Peaks from bones,Trees from hair,And from his skull the sky.And from his browsMade these blithe powersShelters for the sons of men,And from his brainsThe dark and balefulClouds were all then strung.]Ymir’s tribe, the Jǫtnar or “devourers,” are adept at shapeshifting, as are the gods and goddesses themselves. One never knows when a falcon might be an incarnation of Frigg, a wolf an incarnation of Óðinn, or an eagle an incarnation of Þjazi. Þórr’s name means “Thunder,” and Týr’s comes from an Indo-European root that meant both “god” and “the blue sky.” The elements are permeated with divinity to the point that they are truly the flesh of the gods. And when the various profane and partial manifestations of the gods in the fleshly world are perceived with the “eye of reverence,” the profane reveals itself to be a vessel of the sacred, and, to quote Blake once more, youSee a world in a grain of sandAnd a heaven in a wild flowerHold infinity in the palm of your handAnd eternity in an hour.",104

Nietzsche propounded the credo of the 'superman' - the supremely disciplined individual who focused on immediate achievements, and living in the present moment - as opposed to the traditional religious mindset of awaiting one's rewards in the supposed afterlife. These ideas played a huge role in the move towards philosophical secularism in Europe and the wider World. ˃˃˃ More of Nietzsche's works for less in this edition!

Droit processuel. Droits fondamentaux du procès,Serge Guinchard,0.0,,"First published January 1, 2013","Le droit processuel a changé. Depuis l'époque où l'enseignement de cette discipline se limitait à la comparaison des procédures administrative, civile et pénale, un double mouvement de mondialisation et d'attraction du droit du procès à la garantie des droits fondamentaux a fait apparaître un nouveau droit processuel, entendu désormais comme le droit commun du procès. Ce nouveau droit commun s'est construit autour d'un modèle, celui du procès équitable. Issu des sources internationales, européennes et constitutionnelles (1ère partie), ce modèle universel (2e partie) s'exporte vers les juridictions internationales (notamment pénales), vers l'organe de règlement des différends au sein de l'Organisation mondiale du commerce, vers les juridictions nationales et vers les modes alternatifs de règlement des conflits. De nouveaux principes directeurs apparaissent qui transcendent les contentieux spécifiques et traduisent, dans le droit du procès, l'émergence d'une démocratie procédurale, dans laquelle l'écoute, la confiance et la proximité répondent, comme un écho, aux principes de dialogue, de loyauté et de célérité dans le procès.

Включени са и две приложения, чиято цел е да предложат по-добра видимост към идеологическия, политическия и философския контекст на онова, което става и се случва с еврейската общност в България преди около 70 години. Става дума за „Расизмът като философско-историческа теория“ на Димитър Михалчев (1938 г.) и текста на Закон за защита на нацията, влязъл в сила на 23-и януари 1941 г. и действал до 27 ноември 1944.",1
Russell Drysdale Defining the modern Australian landscape,Christopher Heathcote,3.8,Art,"First published January 1, 2013","Russell Drysdale: Defining the modern Australian landscape takes a fresh look at one of the nation's major modern artists, surveying Drysdale's approach to landscape across painting, drawing and photography. Using original research, Christopher Heathcote highlights what the artist saw as urgent issues facing Australia mid-century, revealing the underpinning symbolism of Drysdale's outback imagery. Drysdale's desert scenes are deceptive. Not only do his works directly confront problems in land management and the effects of drought and environmental degradation, we see also images revealing the plight of Australian soldiers in the Second World War, and others referring to the aftermath of the Atomic cataclysm. Drysdale shows deep concern for Aboriginal peoples, positioning Indigenous figures within his paintings to convey his distress at their dispossession. This book also explores Drysdale's efforts to blend landscape painting with surrealism, showcasing many works and photographs connected to his journeys into the Australian interior. Revealing enduring questions about land and environment, Russell Drysdale: Defining the modern Australian landscape confirms Drysdale as a man ahead of his time. Through visual art, he challenged established perceptions of the national landscape.",5

Vết son trên môi anh,Cấn Vân Khánh,4.0,,"First published July 1, 2013","“Và tình yêu, đẹp và vương vấn, như vết son trên môi người đàn ông tôi yêu…”Cây bút trẻ Cấn Vân Khánh đã trở lại với cuốn sách mới nhất “Vết son trên môi anh”. Vẫn là những đề tài rất quen thuộc, thậm chí là sở trường đã làm nên tên tuổi của cô như phụ nữ, tình yêu, sự lựa chọn… Sự bế tắc, cái hoang hoải, mông lung và diệu vợi khiến người đọc như rùng mình, như chìm đắm, bất giác mỉm cười, bất giác lại thở dài theo từng câu chữ của cuốn sách. Cấn Vân Khánh dành cho phụ nữ một sự ưu ái đến kì lạ. Những câu chuyện của cô, viết không phải chỉ kể chuyện, mà viết để khám phá thế giới tâm hồn sâu kín và nhiều nỗi lẩn khuất của người phụ nữ. Dưới ngòi bút của cô, người phụ nữ được bảo vệ, được yêu, trân trọng và cảm thông hết thảy. Dù đó có là người phụ nữ ngã vào vòng tay người đàn ông khác không phải là chồng mình những phút yếu mềm trong “Ở một thành phố yên tĩnh”, “Kính gửi ông John”, “Quên đi tình cũ”; những người thứ ba đáng thương nhiều hơn đáng giận trong “Hạnh phúc mơ hồ”, “Kết thúc vào buổi sáng”, “Người tình” hay đang bế tắc trong “Tình yêu”, “Điệp khúc mì tôm”, “Sự lựa chọn cuối cùng” thì Cấn Vân Khánh vẫn nhìn thấy những vết thương trong lòng họ, những vết thương đủ lớn, đủ sâu, đủ dai dẳng và hành hạ họ hơn bất kì sự trừng phạt nào của cuộc đời, nếu người đời ngoảnh mặt với họ thì hãy để cô bao dung và vị tha cho những lỗi lầm ấy. Vì dù thế nào, tình yêu là không có tội. Cũng có đôi khi, cô đặt mình vào suy nghĩ của những người đàn ông như “Em có muốn tắm không”, “Ràng buộc êm ái”, “Vì đó là em”, để kể cho chúng ta biết phụ nữ trong mắt họ là thế nào. Họ cũng yêu thương, cũng nâng niu, đôi khi sa ngã và phản bội, nhưng xin hãy tin rằng chưa bao giờ họ thực sự muốn làm tổn thương những người phụ nữ của mình. Chỉ là… chỉ là tình yêu đôi khi không có lý lẽ. Với “Vết son trên môi anh”, một lần nữa Cấn Vân Khánh lại bắt người đọc phải đọc thật chậm để thấu hiểu những nhân vật của cô, và cũng để nhìn thấy mình lẩn khuất trong đâu đó. Cuốn sách do Dinhtibooks liên kết với nhà xuất bản Văn học giới thiệu đến các bạn độc giả trong tháng 6/2013.",2

Her parents have an idyllic marriage, and she has tried hard to create one for herself. However, all pretense is shattered when her husband leaves her. On top of this her father dies, leaving Isabel devastated.Then her mother confides in her: behind her parents’ apparently happy marriage was a secret kept for more than three decades.

Dr Hermann Reuter, a son of old South West African stock, wants to prove to the world that if you provide decent treatment, people will come and get it, no matter their circumstances.Already, Sizwe has watched several neighbours grow ill and die, yet he remains reluctant to establish his own HIV status. When Hermann establishes an antiretroviral treatment programme in Sizwe’s village, these figures from two different worlds collide – one afraid that people will turn their backs on medical care, the other fearful of the advent of a world in which respect for traditional ways has been lost and privacy has been obliterated. The resulting antagonism mirrors a continent-wide battle against an epidemic that has corrupted souls as much as bodies. In this eye-opening, compassionate, searing and beautifully written account, Steinberg seeks to understand the AIDS crisis in South Africa. As he grapples to get closer to answers that remain maddeningly just out of reach, he realises that he must look within to unravel some of the enigma surrounding the greatest African disaster of our times.Jonny Steinberg was educated at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, and at Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar.

Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas,Machado de Assis,4.26,Classics,"First published January 1, 1881","Livro com sumário, cronologia e biografia de Machado de Assis e links sobre o autor para enriquecer a leitura.Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas é um romance escrito por Machado de Assis, desenvolvido em princípio como folhetim, de março a dezembro de 1880, na Revista Brasileira, para, no ano seguinte, ser publicado como livro, pela então Tipografia Nacional.O livro marca um tom cáustico e novo estilo na obra de Machado de Assis, bem como audácia e inovação temática no cenário literário nacional, que o fez receber, à época, resenhas estranhadas. Confessando adotar a ""forma livre"" de Laurence Sterne em seu Tristram Shandy (1759-67), ou de Xavier de Maistre, o autor, com Memórias Póstumas, rompe com a narração linear e objetivista de autores proeminentes da época como Flaubert e Zola para retratar o Rio de Janeiro e sua época em geral com pessimismo, ironia e indiferença — um dos fatores que fizeram com que fosse amplamente considerada a obra que iniciou o Realismo no Brasil.Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas retrata a escravidão, as classes sociais, o cientificismo e o positivismo da época, chegando a criar, inclusive, uma nova filosofia, mais bem desenvolvida posteriormente em Quincas Borba (1891) — o Humanitismo, sátira à lei do mais forte. Críticos escrevem que, com esse romance, Machado de Assis precedeu elementos do Modernismo e do realismo mágico de escritores como Jorge Luis Borges e Julio Cortázar, e, de fato, alguns autores chamam-na ""primeira narrativa fantástica do Brasil"". O livro influenciou decisivamente escritores como John Barth, Donald Barthelme e Ciro dos Anjos e é notado como uma das obras mais revolucionárias e inovadoras da literatura brasileira. Mesmo depois de mais de um século de sua publicação original, ainda tem recebido inúmeros estudos e interpretações, adaptações para diversas mídias e traduções para outras línguas.","33,502"

Símbolo de evasão, de ""toda a vida que podia ter sido e que não foi"", como em seu verso famoso, Pasárgada acabou se tornando uma identificação do itinerário da própria vida do poeta. Roteiro de uma vida, revivescência do passado, Itinerário de Pasárgada não e um livro de memórias no sentido tradicional.Franklin de Oliveira observou que se trata da ""primeira biografia estritamente literária que se publica no Brasil - historia da formação de uma inteligência poética e não apenas relato de uma vida de poeta"". Claro que essas duas vertentes se desenvolvem entrançadas, como os fios de um barbante, desde o momento em que Bandeira ganha consciência da vida, lá pelos três anos de idade, e se emociona assistindo a uma corrida de bicicletas. Mais tarde, identificou essa emoção circunstancial com a emoção de natureza artística. ""Desde esse momento, posso dizer que havia descoberto o segredo da poesia, o segredo do meu itinerário em poesia"", confessa. Esse itinerário poético, tal como o roteiro de sua vida, deu muitas voltas, que o memorialista evoca com graça e a insuperável simplicidade de seu estilo, desvendando para o leitor as mil e uma seduções de seu mundo, de sua Pasárgada.",76

Dracula,Bram Stoker,4.02,Classics,"First published May 26, 1897","Esta novela, escrita a través de diarios y cartas, narra la historia de cinco jóvenes y el sabio holandés Van Helsing, en cuyas vidas se entromete Drácula, el vampiro.‘Alone with the dead! I dare not go out, for I can hear the low howl of the wolf through the broken window’When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes horrifying discoveries about his client and his castle.

Catch-22,Joseph Heller,3.99,Classics,"First published November 10, 1961","Catch-22 is like no other novel. It is one of the funniest books ever written, a keystone work in American literature, and even added a new term to the dictionary.At the heart of Catch-22 resides the incomparable, malingering bombardier, Yossarian, a hero endlessly inventive in his schemes to save his skin from the horrible chances of war. His efforts are perfectly understandable because as he furiously scrambles, thousands of people he hasn't even met are trying to kill him. His problem is Colonel Cathcart, who keeps raising the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempts to excuse himself from the perilous missions that he is committed to flying, he is trapped by the Great Loyalty Oath Crusade, the hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule from which the book takes its title: a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but if he makes the necessary formal request to be relieved of such missions, the very act of making the request proves that he is sane and therefore ineligible to be relieved.Catch-22 is a microcosm of the twentieth-century world as it might look to some one dangerously sane -- a masterpiece of our time.","848,802"
Ulysse,James Joyce,3.76,Fiction,"First published February 2, 1922","L'action d'Ulysse se passe en un jour, à Dublin, en 1904. Le personnage d'Ulysse est un petit employé juif, Leopold Bloom ; Stephen Dedalus, jeune Irlandais poète, est Télémaque ; Marion, femme de Bloom et qui le trompe, est Pénélope. Rien n'arrive d'extraordinaire au cours de cette journée. Bloom et Dedalus errent dans la ville, vaquant à leurs affaires, et se retrouvent le soir dans un bordel. Chaque épisode correspond à un épisode de L'Odyssée. Mais la parodie débouche sur une mise en cause du monde moderne à une époque de muflisme. Joyce exprime l'universel par le particulier. Bloom, Dedalus, Marion sont des archétypes. Toute la vie, la naissance et la mort, la recherche du père (Dedalus est aussi Hamlet), celle du fils (Bloom a perdu un fils jeune), toute l'histoire sont contenues en un seul jour.

Sfânta Rusie,Alain Besançon,3.87,History,"First published January 1, 2012","On parle de la « Terre Sainte », il est vrai, mais personne ne dit sainte France, sainte Allemagne, sainte Angleterre. Alors, pourquoi Sainte Russie ?De même on emploie couramment l adjectif éternelle. Cela pourrait signifier que la Russie n'a jamais changé. Pourtant elle a changé plusieurs fois. Pierre le Grand a été une révolution.Le bolchevisme a été une révolution. On ne dit pas la France éternelle, l'Allemagne éternelle, l'Angleterre éternelle, dès que l'on a la moindre idée des changements historiques profonds qui ont affecté ces pays. Pourquoi Russie éternelle ?Quand en France on lit Tolstoï et Dostoïevski, quand on entend à l'opéra La Dame de pique, ou Boris Godounov, il est rare que l'on ne fasse pas référence à l'âme russe. D'où vient cette expression, comment faut-il la prendre, comment s'est-elle formée ? Les clichés quelquefois tombent assez juste. On dit que les Espagnols sont fiers, les Allemands lourds, les Français légers ou vaniteux. C'est souvent faux, parfois vrai. On dit de la même façon des Russes qu ils sont « mystiques ». Mais que signifie ce mot, quand aujourd hui on appelle mystique la passion du football ou un vague état d'âme poético-religieux ?Pour répondre à ces questions, il faut aller au-delà de l'histoire politique ou économique de la Russie. Il faut remonter à des options religieuses très anciennes, qui viennent de l'Église d'Orient mais qui ont pris, sous le poids des circonstances historiques, un tour extraordinaire en Russie. Si l'on n entre pas dans la conscience religieuse particulière du peuple russe qui, en effet a peut-être été, sous certaines conditions, marquée de mysticisme, on ne comprend pas Gogol ou Dostoïevski. Ni quelques aspects du communisme.Français, depuis Voltaire et Diderot nous avons admiré la Russie pour ses réalisations, et nous avons été déçus quand nous avons pu les observer sur place. Nos réactionnaires ont admiré la cour des tsars, et l'ordre qu ils faisaient régner. Nos révolutionnaires ont frémi quand la Russie a eu l'air d accomplir les buts de notre Révolution. Nos âmes religieuses ont été attendries par l'esprit évangélique dont on croyait son peuple pénétré. Ou bien, las du carcan étroit de notre civilisation, nous avons été attirés par les grands espaces russes et les grands désordres qu'ils promettaient. Pourquoi si souvent avons-nous regardé ce pays dans le prisme déformant de nos propres passions, et si rarement avons-nous pris la peine de l'étudier comme il était vraiment ? J'ai composé cet essai pour répondre à ces interrogations. J'espère avoir pu éclairer la Russie d'une « autre lumière ».",163

Гибкое сознание. Новый взгляд на психологию развития взрослых и детей,Carol S. Dweck,4.1,Psychology,"First published January 1, 2006","От производителяО чем эта книгаВ основе этой книги лежит революционная концепция, открытая известным психологом Кэрол Дуэк в результате 20 лет собственных исследований. Из нее вы узнаете:почему интеллект и талант еще не гарантируют успеха,как они, напротив, могут встать на его пути,почему часто поощрение ума и таланта ставит достижения под угрозу,и как улучшить успеваемость ребенка или продуктивность менеджера.Люди с фиксированным сознанием (с установкой на данность) верят, что врожденные ум и талант неизменны. Они тратят время на то, чтобы доказать всем, что они умны и талантливы, вместо того, чтобы развивать свои таланты. Кроме того, они верят, что талант ведет к успеху сам по себе. И они ошибаются.Люди с гибким сознанием (с установкой на рост) верят, что все качества можно развить, планомерно работая над собой, а изначальный уровень интеллекта и таланта - это всего лишь стартовая точка. Такой подход формирует любовь к постоянному обучению и устойчивость к трудностям и неудачам. Вряд ли найдется хоть один выдающийся человек, который бы не обладал этими качествами.Переход к гибкому сознанию усиливает мотивацию и продуктивность в бизнесе, образовании и спорте. Он обогащает личные отношения. Когда вы прочитаете эту книгу, вы узнаете как это происходит.Для кого эта книгаДля родителей, преподавателей и тренеров, а также для всех, кто занимается управлением людьми или нацелен на личностный рост.Фишка книгиКэрол Дуэк решила написать книгу после того, как ее студенты буквально настояли на том, чтобы она поделилась с миром своими открытиями, сделанными за 20 лет исследований.","160,244"

Ovid The Augustan Scapegoat,Michael Solomon,4.0,,"First published May 1, 2012","This intelligent, intriguing historical novel weaves together both fact and fiction, bringing the world of the controversial Latin poet Ovid to vivid life. A great book for everybody, including students in Roman history.  It is the year 14 CE. Emperor Augustus dies without pardoning Ovid, Rome’s darling, whom he banished to the border of the Roman Empire for reasons comprehensible but never named. Ovid is now deserted by his protecting innocence, forced to question life, the absurdity of success and the horror of failure. He must reinvent himself and change more profoundly than the characters of his acclaimed Metamorphoses, if he and his poems are to survive.  Ovid’s journey out of exile, be it along the edge of the known world where he enters places alien even to his imagination, or in Rome where he can no longer recognise the people he used to know, transforms him into a man who is no more obsessed with his own mortality, but accepts the consequences of his own choices. He refuses to be anyone’s scapegoat, confronts friends and enemies, and finally decides to write for posterity rather than glory.  Carefully researched, this novel is based on fact blended with unconventional theories about the strange and mythical places of this ancient world, including the western shore of the Black Sea and the Lower Danube. Michael Solomon travelled through the places described on Ovid’s journey, including Ovid’s birthplace, Sulmona, the city surrounded by the impressive Abruzzi Mountains, seeking these landscapes that might be the same today as they have been two thousand years ago and which inspired the man and ultimately this book.",5

A Casa Torta,Agatha Christie,4.08,Mystery,"First published January 1, 1949","Nos arredores de Londres há uma mansão com uma inusitada característica: ela é torta. É ali que o milionário octogenário Aristide Leonides mora com a esposa, cinquenta anos mais jovem, além de filhos, noras, netos e uma cunhada, irmã da primeira mulher. Quando a polícia descobre que o patriarca foi envenenado, todos os habitantes da casa se tornam suspeitos, e a discórdia passa a imperar entre os membros da família – sobretudo, olhares desconfiados recaem sobre a jovem viúva. A neta mais velha de Aristide, Sophia, junta-se ao namorado para tentar chegar ao fundo do mistério sobre a morte do avô. Muito mais que um romance policial, A casa torta foi considero pela própria Agatha Christie como um de seus melhores livros.","81,463"

I pirati della Malesia,Emilio Salgari,3.88,Adventure,"First published January 1, 1896","Con I pirati della Malesia, pubblicato nel 1896, il ciclo iniziato con I misteri della jungla nera e proseguito con Le tigri di Mompracem entra decisamente nel vivo. Infatti, se i primi due romanzi sono slegati fra loro qui al contrario i protagonisti del primo (Tremal-Naik e Kammamuri) e quelli del secondo (Sandokan e Yanez) si incontrano e i due filoni per la prima volta si intrecciano. Sandokan e Yanez, capi riconosciuti della pirateria malese, cercano di liberare l'indomito Tremal-Naik, prigioniero degli odiati inglesi. Ancora una volta il lettore è calato in un mondo di fantasia e avventura senza tempo ed età. I pirati della Malesia, tutt'oggi rappresenta una delle punte di diamante dell'intera produzione di Salgari.Emilio Carlo Giuseppe Maria Salgàri nasce a Verona il 21 agosto 1862. Scrittore incredibilmente prolifico è, senz’altro, ancora oggi il più popolare autore italiano di romanzi d’avventura. Personaggi come Sandokan, Yanez de Gomera e il Corsaro Nero fanno tuttora parte, grazie anche alle numerose trasposizione cinematografiche e televisive delle sue opere, dell’immaginario collettivo. La mole della sua produzione romanzesca è impressionante (200 opere se si considerano anche i racconti) ed è il frutto di tempi di lavoro massacranti. Egli è anche considerato uno dei precursori della fantascienza in Italia. L’eccessivo lavoro, una situazione familiare difficile e i numerosi debiti lo portano al suicidio, avvenuto a Torino il 25 aprile del 1911.","2,017"

La coscienza di Zeno,Italo Svevo,3.77,Fiction,"First published January 1, 1923","La coscienza di Zeno conclude idealmente il ‘discorso’ iniziato con Una vita e proseguito con Senilità. Pubblicato nel 1923, stupisce ancora oggi per la sua modernità e lucidità di pensiero. Con La coscienza di Zeno la psicoanalisi irrompe, prepotentemente, nella letteratura italiana conferendole di fatto una dimensione europea. Freud, Joyce rappresentano le influenze più evidenti e meglio riconoscibili. Zeno Cosini (il protagonista), con le sue insicurezze e paure, non solo è l’antitesi del superuomo vagheggiato da Nietzsche, ma anche l’estrema sintesi dell’individuo contemporaneo di fronte alle difficoltà della vita e alla complessità del mondo.Italo Svevo, pseudonimo di Aron Hector Schmitz, nasce a Trieste il 19 dicembre 1861. Con romanzi come Una vita (1892), Senilità (1898) e La coscienza di Zeno (1923), acquista una fama che tuttora accompagna il suo nome. Partendo da posizioni veriste e naturaliste egli ha il merito di introdurre, influenzato dalle nascenti teorie relativistiche e freudiane, per primo in Italia il romanzo psicologico. Temi quali la malattia, la scrittura come mezzo di salvezza e l’inettitudine dell’uomo contemporaneo connotano la sua poetica e lo rendono un autore atipico nel panorama letterario italiano e perciò ancora oggi degno di attenzione e studio.

Giacomo l'idealista,Emilio De Marchi,3.25,,"First published January 1, 1897","Dopo Demetrio Pianelli e il successivo Arabella, De Marchi ci regala un'altra prova delle sue indubbie capacità di scrittura con Giacomo l’idealista, testo pubblicato nel 1897 a partire da un suo precedente dramma composto quattro anni prima. De Marchi, dunque, in questo caso parte dal teatro per passare alla letteratura, invertendo il percorso generalmente seguito da molti autori italiani di fine Ottocento. Giacomo, giovane e modesto insegnante di filosofia, è una figura che ben s’inserisce nell’umanità umile e vinta tratteggiata nella produzione dello scrittore milanese. Il protagonista torna alla fornace del padre, dove è costretto a confrontarsi con un doppio dramma: uno di natura economica e l’altro familiare. Giacomo cerca di risollevare la difficile situazione e finisce per sposare la cugina Celestina. «Forse bisogna cominciare da capo», la frase che chiude lo scritto, ben sintetizza l’atteggiamento mentale e il carattere di Giacomo. Grazie a uno stile personale, un’attenta indagine psicologica e un fine umorismo De Marchi ci appare come uno dei maestri nascosti della nostra narrativa moderna. Nel 1943 l’esordiente Alberto Lattuada traspone, con discreto successo, il romanzo al cinema.Emilio De Marchi nasce a Milano il 31 luglio 1851. Autore atipico nel panorama delle nostra letteratura, con Il cappello del prete (1887) crea dal nulla il romanzo noir, un genere fino a quel momento estraneo alla tradizione italiana.

Jakob fatalisten,Denis Diderot,3.8,Classics,"First published January 1, 1796","Den här boken Inleder vår nutid. Goethe tyckte om boken. Hegel fascinerades av hans fria berättande och för Marx var han favoritförfattare. Det är en för sin tid mycket vågad erotisk berättelse. Historien om tjänaren och husbonden som underhåller varandra med sina kärlekshistorier ger oss en dubbelbild av 1700-talets franska samhälle – tjänaren ger oss tillträde till samhällets undre del och husbonden till den övre. Det är Diderot, sin tids stora stjäma, som flödande sammanflätar denna historia likt tankarnas bangård med en stor uppsättning av spår som löper parallellt, korsar, varandra – vissa är lätta stickspår, andra tankens stambanor. Allt sammanväxt till en skön litteratur. Boken publicerades i Paris 26 och 27 september 1796; före revolutionen var den omöjlig att trycka i Frankrike. Men boken spreds långt tidigare genom Diderots gode vän Grimm som bilagor till hans nyhetsbrev, vilken hade prenumeranter som Fredrik den store, kejsarinnan Katarina m. fl. i de europeiska furstehusen, liksom Sveriges drottning Lovisa Ulrika. Paradoxalt nog läste överheten bokstavligen förbjuden litteratur eftersom hård censur generellt rådde vid den tiden. Diderot (1713-1784) är upplysningsfilosof. Han var inspiratören, organisatören och redaktören för Den stora encyklopedin. ""Här börjar nutiden! Realismen. Den verkliga. Här är inte ynkedom, försiktigt filande, akademism och genre.

In the outlying systems, where the Trade Federation maintains a stranglehold on shipping routes, tensions are boiling over?while back in the comfort of Coruscant, the hub of civilized space and seat of the Republic government, few senators seem inclined to investigate the problem.

She slouched and rested her head on the back of her chair. “That was amazing.”Wulf’s smile was kind. “Sometimes I forget that my people are all excellent at their jobs.”“I have never tasted anything like that.” Her eyelids drooped.“That’s cool.” Really cool. Dang nifty. She yawned.“Quite.” Rae felt his warm hand slide around hers. “Shall we go upstairs?”She sat up in shock, and the twinkling dining room glared before her eyes adjusted. She whispered, “No! We can’t. Not here. Your whole staff has been traipsing through this dining room to get a look at me. They will all know what we’re doing.”He chuckled. His thumb rubbed the back of her hand, and a wisp of desire rose like smoke through her. “They are all adults, as are we.”“Oh my God. I would never. They’ll laugh at me. They’ll talk.”“Rae,” and Wulf pressed her hand between both of hers, calming her, “if everyone thought that way, the nobility would have died out generations ago.”“Still, it’s not like we’re married or something.” That should make him back off.Instead, Wulf stood and tugged her hand gently, pulling her to her feet. His fingers wound around hers. She bobbed as the wine rushed to her head.He said, “Let’s go.”She scooted out from around the chair and plucked her purse from where it hung on the back. Dizziness spun her head. “I couldn’t.”“Come on.” He led her through the dining room. “We’ll sneak upstairs. No one will notice us.”“I so doubt that.” The wine and chocolate sang in her head. She wanted to press against his skin and feel him under her palms. Her body followed where he led her, even as her brain protested that everyone would know.He stopped at the door to peer around the corner, and Rae didn’t see and bumped him from behind. When he turned to shush her, lest the staff hear them, she couldn’t help herself and kissed him.His other hand slipped around her waist and drew her closer. The whalebones in her dress poked her ribs and hips as she fit her body against him.He pulled back and grinned at her. “Careful. Given an opportunity, I will sweep all these table settings to the floor and have you on that table.”She couldn’t breathe for wanting him to do just that, but Wulf looked out the door again and led her down the hall of ferns and urns to the main room. He paused at the base of the staircase to glance around them, scrutinizing the conversation groupings of satin couches and chairs and peering at the super-sized grand piano for lingering servants.Yeah, he was definitely mocking her.Rae wanted to scurry away from all the eyes in this house, so she gathered up her skirt and led the way. Wulf chuckled all the way up the stairs behind her.At the top, she waited for him to climb the last steps. The enormous chandelier hung like a crystal sun suspended at eye-level.Wulf bounded up the last step and tugged her hand again. “This way.”The balcony skirted the chandelier and the entertaining room below. Rae wanted to hug the wall, but her scarlet dress was worse than useless as camouflage.After far too long a walk down a beige and gold hallway with too many doors in what must have been the house’s other wing, Wulf opened a door at the end of the hallway. Rae dashed in, and he closed the door behind them.",149

En este sector sin brillo, en una gélida portería de la calle Infantas de Madrid, al lado de la Gran Vía, viven los protagonistas de esta novela, una familia compuesta por el matrimonio y dos hijos. En el marco de tres momentos históricos, que funcionan en la novela a la manera de tres actos teatrales, se desenvuelve la acción. En el primer episodio, que ocurre a fines de los años cuarenta, el padre de familia tiene la posibilidad de trabajar en el cine como guionista y eso no le proporciona los beneficios con que soñaba. En el segundo acto, hacia los años sesenta, son los hijos de este matrimonio los que inician su despegue vital, el hijo hereda de su padre la posibilidad de trabajar en una película como actor y la hija sigue los vaivenes de un maestro mayor que ella y antiguo intérprete de teatro clásico del que se ha enamorado. El tercer acto transcurre en el mes de noviembre de 1975, días antes de que muera el Caudillo.

Crazy Town: The Rob Ford Story,Robyn Doolittle,3.76,Nonfiction,"First published January 1, 2014","His drug and alcohol-fuelled antics made world headlines and engulfed a city in unprecedented controversy. Toronto mayor Rob Ford's personal and political troubles have occupied centre stage in North America's fourth-largest city since news broke that drug dealers were selling a videotape of Ford appearing to smoke crack cocaine. Toronto Star reporter Robyn Doolittle was one of three journalists to view the video and report on its contents in May 2013. Her dogged pursuit of the story has uncovered disturbing details about the mayor's past, and embroiled the Toronto police, city councillors, and ordinary citizens in a raucous debate about the future of the city. Even before those explosive events, Ford was a divisive figure. A populist and successful city counillor, he was an underdog to become mayor in 2010. His politics and mercurial nature have split the amalgamated city in two. But there is far more to the story. The Ford family has a long, unhappy history of substance abuse and criminal behaviour. Despite their troubles, they are also one of the most ambitious families in Canada. Those close to the Fords say they often compare themselves to the Kennedys and believe they were born to lead. Doolittle says that regardless of whether the mayor survives the current crack-cocaine scandal, the Ford name will be on the ballot in the mayoralty election in 2014.","1,178"

Gabby: A Story of Courage and Hope,Gabrielle Giffords,4.11,Nonfiction,"First published November 15, 2011","From one of the most admired and beloved couples in recent American history, an extraordinarily moving story of public service, risk-taking, romance—and the journey toward recovery. This book delivers hope and redemption in the face of the tragic shooting, and introduces two unforgettable heroes.AS INDIVIDUALS, CONGRESSWOMAN GABRIELLE GIFFORDS and her husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, showed Americans how optimism, an adventurous spirit, and a call to service can help change the world. As a couple, they became a national example of the healing power to be found in deeply shared love and courage. Their arrival in the world spotlight came under the worst of circumstances. On January 8, 2011, while meeting with her constituents in Tucson, Arizona, Gabby was the victim of an assassination attempt that left six people dead and thirteen wounded. Gabby was shot in the head; doctors called her survival “miraculous.”As the nation grieved and sought to understand the attack, Gabby remained in private, focused on her against-all-odds recovery. Mark spent every possible moment by her side, as he also prepared for his final mission as commander of space shuttle Endeavour .Now, as Gabby’s health continues to improve, the couple is sharing their remarkable untold story. Intimate, inspiring, and unforgettably moving, A Story of Courage and Hope provides an unflinching look at the overwhelming challenges of brain injury, the painstaking process of learning to communicate again, and the responsibilities that fall to a loving spouse who wants the best possible treatment for his wife. Told in Mark’s voice and from Gabby’s heart, the book also chronicles the lives that brought these two extraordinary people together—their humor, their ambitions, their sense of duty, their long-distance marriage, and their desire for family.Gabby and Mark made a pledge to tell their account as honestly as possible, and they have done so in riveting detail. Both Gabby and Mark have lived large public lives, but this book takes readers behind many closed doors—from the flight deck of the space shuttle to the cloakrooms of Congress to the hospital wards where Gabby struggled to reclaim herself with the help of formidable medical teams and devoted family and friends.Questions are answered with unvarnished candor. How do Gabby and Mark feel about the angry political discourse that was swirling in America at the time of the shooting, and that remains prevalent today? How do they see government living up to the highest possible ideals? And how do they understand and mourn the loss of the people who did not survive that day? A Story of Courage and Hope is a reminder of the power of true grit, the patience needed to overcome unimaginable obstacles, and the transcendence of love. In the story of Gabrielle Giffords and Mark Kelly, we all can see the best in ourselves. As Mark and Gabby’s friends have “The two of them are America as we dream it can be.”","2,599"

Dom Casmurro,Machado de Assis,4.32,Classics,"First published January 1, 1899","Machado de Assis (1839-1908), escrevendo Dom Casmurro, produziu um dos maiores livros da literatura universal. Mas criando Capitu, a espantosa menina de ""olhos oblíquos e dissimulados"", de ""olhos de ressaca"", Machado nos legou um incrível mistério, um mistério até hoje indecifrado. Há quase cem anos os estudiosos e especialistas o esmiuçam, o analisam sob todos os aspectos. Em vão. Embora o autor se tenha dado ao trabalho de distribuir pelo caminho todas as pistas para quem quisesse decifrar o enigma, ninguém ainda o desvendou. A alma de Capitu é, na verdade, um labirinto sem saída, um labirinto que Machado também já explorara em personagens como Virgília (Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas) e Sofia (Quincas Borba), personagens construídas a partir da ambigüidade psicológica, como Jorge Luis Borges gostaria de ter inventado.","33,916"

Vita filosofica di Albert Camus,Michel Onfray,4.2,Philosophy,"First published January 4, 2012","Sono passati cento anni esatti dalla sua nascita e Albert Camus è uno degli scrittori più letti e più amati del mondo. I romanzi Lo straniero, La peste, La caduta, i saggi filosofici Il mito di Sisifo e L’uomo in rivolta, che coniugano al massimo grado il senso dell’assurdità del vivere e il continuo risorgere della speranza e dell’impegno, vengono continuamente ristampati in tutte le lingue e appassionano nuove generazioni.Michel Onfray, tra i più noti filosofi viventi, gli ha dedicato questa imponente «biografia filosofica», un caso editoriale enorme in Francia, che testimonia finalmente la grande radicalità e originalità del suo pensiero. Nato ad Algeri,Camus apprese la filosofia nello stesso tempo in cui scopriva un mondo al quale rimase fedele tutta la vita: il mondo dei poveri, degli umiliati, delle vittime. Il mondo di suo padre, contadino morto in guerra, e quello di sua madre, donna delle pulizie incolta ma modello di virtù che Onfray definisce «mediterranee»: coraggio, senso dell’onore, modestia, dignità. La vita filosofica di Albert Camus, che fu edonista, libertario, anarchico, anticolonialista e visceralmente ostile a ogni totalitarismo, illustra pienamente lo svolgersi di questa «morale solare» e offre a tutti noi non solo pagine di grande lucidità e passione, come quella che Onfray nutre, e fa nutrire, per Albert Camus,ma anche un praticabile modello di vita e di pensiero. «Io stimo tanto più un filosofo quanto più egli è in grado di dare un esempio» è l’epigrafe nietzscheana di questo libro: e Camus è per Onfray, e certamente diverrà per molti lettori, il migliore esempio.",99

Home,Kenneth Sean Campbell,4.08,M M Romance,"First published February 17, 2012","The definition of home is different for everyone. For some, it’s a place, for others another person or a work of art or an old comfy sofa. Connoly Bradshaw IV moved 1800 miles from all he knew of home to avoid coming out to his family and friends. And Portland, Oregon had welcomed him. He has a job he loves, good friends and he has met his soulmate, Travis Craig. They are even thinking of buying a home together but, in order to move forward, he must face his family and the lies of omission. The miles are closing in on him and the inevitable Texas showdown hangs over his head. Then he receives word of his grandfather’s death and he must return to East Texas for the funeral. Putting his own life aside out of respect for his grandfather and namesake, he decides to keep his secret a little while longer when he returns to Madison, Texas and the family he loves and fears. But on the day of the funeral, his aunt gives him a package left for him by his grandfather. Inside is a journal kept fifty years earlier when the elder Bradshaw was a young man. The journal, the final gift of love, will change Con’s life forever, and the lives of everyone around him will be affected. HOME is the story of two Connoly Bradshaws: one, a contemporary story of love and coming out and acceptance. The other is a fifty year old tale of romance, love and loss in the summer of 1959. The youngest Bradshaw is about to be caught up in his grandfather’s life in a way he never expected and comes to understand that generations may differ in many ways but some things never change and one of those is love.",12
Valstain,R.J.   Jerome,4.58,,,"The Pelagius Game:
 Compelling New Fiction Series Fuses Secret Religion & Biblical Events with Bold New Fantasy World.Written by R. J. Jerome, ‘The Pelagius Game’ marks a powerful new chapter in the world of fantasy fiction. The series’ first volume, ‘Valstain’, introduces readers to a magical realm between Heaven and Earth. Offering such a vivid literary adventure, the series is poised to resonate with readers around the world.For Immediate ReleaseLevittown, PA – For generations, fantasy has been a staple of the literary landscape. With fans crying out for new worlds to explore, Pennsylvania’s Russ Jerome is delighted to announce his new book with gusto. ‘The Pelagius Game’ uniquely fuses biblical mystery with all that is great about fantasy. ‘Valstain’ serves as the perfect introduction to the series as readers young and old are offered an opportunity to whisk off to a world unlike any they have ever read about before.Synopsis:Through The Pelagius Game series, R.J. Jerome introduces the reader to Valstain, the magical realm between Heaven and Earth.Valstain follows the life of Timothy Anderson as he reveals his haunted past to Father Michael Olshefski, the new headmaster of The Pelagius Order. The Order’s seminary is the training ground of a secret religious society whose job is to find and prepare gifted warriors to fight evil.But someone on the inside has a different idea.Now, Tim must expose the true wicked desires of the Order’s leaders to the kidnapped priest. He needs this man’s trust and permission to enter the Holy ground so he may once more venture into Valstain and claim his revenge on those who betrayed him. However, Tim knows mere words will not convince the priest—only tasting the memories locked inside his magical blood will. It is said once a man has entered Valstain, and experienced the horror within, he is never the same again—that is exactly what the forces of evil are depending on. The Pelagius Game has begun, and the journey into Valstain is only the beginning. Valstain is a must read for anyone interested in fantasy adventures with plenty of sword fights, vibrant characters, and intricate plot twists.As the author explains, his book’s setting plays host to a diverse range of happenings and experiences.“Valstain is unique because it blends Earthly mysteries like secret religious societies and biblical events with a fantasy world where one can be seen battling giant spiders or the undead with magical weapons and super natural abilities, like strength, speed, ability to manipulate the weather or fire,” says Jerome.Continuing, “I spend most of my free time researching religion. I once attended a class in Catholicism where I saw two priests whispering. This spawned the idea for ‘The Pelagius Game’ and I spent the next four years constructing narratives for four books.”With much of writing based on diligently-researched fact, it comes as no surprise that the series’ title carries much significance to the real world.“I remembered stumbling across Pelagianism, a theological theory named after the British monk, Pelagius. Pelagius practiced first to demonstrate the power and quality of human nature and to show what it is capable of achieving. With this in mind, I constructed the idea of a competition between God and Satan. Want to know more? Buy the book!” Jerome adds.With such a powerful initial offering and many more volumes to come, interested readers are urged to purchase their copies of the series’ first book as soon as possible.‘The Pelagius Game: Book 1 Valstain’, published by eTreasures Publishing, is available now: http://bit.ly/1dDl45e, and https://www.smashwords.com/books/view....Now in printhttp://www.amazon.com/The-Pelaguis-Ga...About the Author:R.J. Jerome grew up in historic Bristol, Pennsylvania, where his love of art, music, and fantasy novels was born.After graduation, Russ left America for 6 months, and traveled to England. It was there that he saw the Gloucester Cathedral. The massive, gothic architecture fueled his interest in spirituality.Usually religious art or stories inspire Russell's work, but on occasion, you will find him fumbling through a page of one of R.A. Salvatore's epic fantasy novels.In 2000, Russ married his wife Jennifer, who gave birth to their son Russell in 2004 and their daughter Tessa in 2007. When not busy researching religions, you can find Russell drinking, rating, or talking about well-crafted beers and Absinthes.Contact: Russ Jerome / russjerome@comcast.net",19

Dangerous Illusions,Joseph J. Gabriele,3.56,Mystery,"First published February 9, 2014","""NOT SINCE DASHIELL HAMMETT'S MALTESE FALCON HAS AN OBJECT OF DESIRE CAUSED SO MUCH TROUBLE!""—Craigie ZildjianIn a beguiling tale of deception and murder, desire and theft, seduction and betrayal—where nothing is what it appears to be—a man is murdered and an iconic musical instrument is stolen during a gathering at Eliot Sexton’s Park Avenue apartment. The stolen item—an object of desire worshipped by millions—is the key to solving the crime, or so the detective brought in to investigate believes. The murder, however, is not nearly as straightforward as it seems—nor is the theft.Though the island of Manhattan presents no shortage of suspects—many of them capable of killing to satisfy their appetites—Eliot, a young economic historian and writer, soon becomes the prime suspect. As he draws closer to the truth behind the theft and murder, he also becomes the killer’s next target.Irreverent, provocative, and utterly unpredictable, Dangerous Illusions is a weeklong polyrhythmic journey into contemporary New York that will keep readers guessing right up to its thrilling conclusion.˃˃˃ ADVANCE PRAISE FROM READERS, BOOK REVIEWERS, AND LIBRARIANS“Like all of the best crime fiction, this is about so much more than a murder; it’s about the world we live in now.”—Barbara Dey, ALA Librarian“Joseph J.

The Doubtful Heir,James Shirley,4.0,,,"James Shirley was born in London in September 1596. His education was through a collection of England’s finest Merchant Taylors' School, London, St John's College, Oxford, and St Catharine's College, Cambridge, where he took his B.A. degree in approximately 1618. He first published in 1618, a poem entitled Echo, or the Unfortunate Lovers. As with many artists of this period full details of his life and career are not recorded. Sources say that after graduating he became ""a minister of God's word in or near St Albans."" A conversion to the Catholic faith enabled him to become master of St Albans School from 1623–25. He wrote his first play, Love Tricks, or the School of Complement, which was licensed on February 10th, 1625. From the given date it would seem he wrote this whilst at St Albans but, after its production, he moved to London and to live in Gray’s Inn. For the next two decades, he would write prolifically and with great quality, across a spectrum of thirty plays; through tragedies and comedies to tragicomedies as well as several books of poetry. Unfortunately, his talents were left to wither when Parliament passed the Puritan edict in 1642, forbidding all stage plays and closing the theatres. Most of his early plays were performed by Queen Henrietta's Men, the acting company for which Shirley was engaged as house dramatist. Shirley's sympathies lay with the King in battles with Parliament and he received marks of special favor from the Queen. He made a bitter attack on William Prynne, who had attacked the stage in Histriomastix, and, when in 1634 a special masque was presented at Whitehall by the gentlemen of the Inns of Court as a practical reply to Prynne, Shirley wrote the text—The Triumph of Peace. Shirley spent the years 1636 to 1640 in Ireland, under the patronage of the Earl of Kildare. Several of his plays were produced by his friend John Ogilby in Dublin in the first ever constructed Irish theatre; The Werburgh Street Theatre. During his years in Dublin he wrote The Doubtful Heir, The Royal Master, The Constant Maid, and St. Patrick for Ireland. In his absence from London, Queen Henrietta's Men sold off a dozen of his plays to the stationers, who naturally, enough published them. When Shirley returned to London in 1640, he finished with the Queen Henrietta's company and his final plays in London were acted by the King's Men. On the outbreak of the English Civil War Shirley served with the Earl of Newcastle. However when the King's fortunes began to decline he returned to London. There his friend Thomas Stanley gave him help and thereafter Shirley supported himself in the main by teaching and publishing some educational works under the Commonwealth. In addition to these he published during the period of dramatic eclipse four small volumes of poems and plays, in 1646, 1653, 1655, and 1659. It is said that he was “a drudge” for John Ogilby in his translations of Homer’s Iliad and the Odyssey, and survived into the reign of Charles II, but, though some of his comedies were revived, his days as a playwright were over. His death, at age seventy, along with that of his wife, in 1666, is described as one of fright and exposure due to the Great Fire of London which had raged through parts of London from September 2nd to the 5th. He was buried at St Giles in the Fields, in London, on October 29th, 1666.",1

Pride and Prejudice,Jane Austen,4.29,Fiction,"First published January 28, 1813","When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever.

The Hyles Effect: A Spreading Blight,David W. Cloud,3.29,Christian,"First published March 1, 2012","This book documents the life and ministry of Jack Hyles, who pastored First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana, for 42 years, and Jack Schaap, who took over the pastorate of the church when his father-in-law died in 2001. But the book is not merely about two men. It is a warning about a cultic model of ministry that has spread very far. Hyles set the pattern for errors that are still rampant. And the book is a positive call to build biblical churches. A major motivation in writing this report is to challenge young preachers not to be man followers and man pleasers, to walk in the fear of God rather than the fear of man, to be serious Bible students and Bereans, to be passionate for Christ and Truth, and to reject pragmatism: whether it be contemporary church growth pragmatism or emerging pragmatism or IFB pragmatism. The book is a warning about Quick Prayerism, promotionalism, numbers-ism, the abuse of pastoral authority, blind loyalty to man, cover-up and deception and rampant immorality, the neglect of church discipline, and unrepentant heresy. Chapter titles include the following: A Personal Testimony, It’s Not Enough to Criticize, A Word about Robert Sumner, Jack Hyles, Jack Schaap, and Shooting the Wounded and Other Silly Arguments.",21

Histoire constitutionnelle française.

Or, aucune période de notre histoire n''est plus riche de sens que celle qui a commencé à la prise de la Bastille, le 14 juillet 1789, pour se terminer par la défaite deWaterloo, le 18 juin 1815. En un quart de siècle, en effet, la France ne connaît pas moins de six Constitutions, dont aucune n''avait prévu les péripéties, les drames et les crises, auxquels elle se trouva confrontée.Des derniers soubresauts de la Monarchie autoritaire aux implications juridiques du retour de l''Île d''Elbe, en passant par la prise de conscience que “l''égalité absolue est une chimère”, c''est une description rigoureuse et vivante que propose cet ouvrage.

Silent Night,Robert B.

Homeless and alone, Slide has found refuge with an organization named Street Business, which gives shelter and seeks job opportunities for the homeless and lost. Slide’s mentor, Jackie Alvarez, is being threatened, and Street Business is in danger of losing its tenuous foothold in the community, turning Slide and many others like him back on the street. But it’s not a simple case of intimidation – Spenser, aided by Hawk, finds a trail that leads to a dangerous drug kingpin, whose hold on the at-risk community Street Business serves threatens not just the boys’ safety and security, but their lives as well.  Unfinished at the time of his death, Silent Night was completed by Parker’s longtime agent, whose decades-long association with Parker’s work gives her unique insight and perspective to his voice and storytelling style.

季羡林全集（第10卷）·学术论著 2：印度历史与文化,季羡林 《季羡林全集》编辑出版委员会,0.0,,"First published October 1, 2009",《季羡林全集（第10卷）·学术论著2：印度历史与文化》介绍了印度历史的大体轮廓，略古详今。对古代讲得比较简单一些，而把重点放在近代和现代。现在我们总起来谈一谈德里苏丹王朝的一般情况。苏丹政府是完全独裁的政府。苏丹既是政治领袖，也是宗教领袖。他可以立法，他的话就是法律，同时他又是最后审判官。他也是军队的最高统帅。他真可以说是集大权于一身。贵族在国家事务中有相当大的影响。他们可以当将军，当行政长官，有时候也可以废立苏丹。但是这些贵族并不是世袭的。他们里面，土耳其人占大多数，此外还有阿拉伯人、阿富汗人、阿比西尼亚人、埃及人、爪哇人和印度人。这样来源复杂的人当然不能够结成一个团体来共同影响政治，他们之间勾心斗角，有各式各样的矛盾和斗争。无论是苏丹，还是贵族，都有大量的奴隶，男女都有。阿拉·乌·丁据说有五万个奴隶，而费罗兹-沙竞有二十万个奴隶。人民穷困不堪，大多数的人生活在水深火热中。当时大诗人阿弥尔·胡思罗曾写道：“王冠上的每一颗珍珠只不过是穷苦的农民流泪的眼中落下来的一滴滴的血凝成的。”农民忍无可忍，就用起义来回答统治者。农民的起义对印度社会的发展起了很大的作用。这时期文学艺术的发展有一些特点。外族侵入印度在印度历史上这并不是第一次，以前希腊人、塞种人、匈奴人都侵入过印度。他们当然也带来他们的与印度文化不同的文化；但是他们的文化和他们自己都融入印度文化和印度人民中，没有留下很显著的痕迹。这次土耳其·阿富汗人的侵入却大不相同了。他们带来了伊斯兰教，也带来了伊斯兰的文学和艺术。这种文学和艺术有悠久光荣的传统，有深厚的根基，是印度文化所不能完全溶化的。尽管外来的统治者和本地人民在政治上形同水火；但是在文化上他们却互相尊重，互相学习，表现出一种和谐的情况。介绍马克思的《印度大事年表》纪念马克思的《不列颠在印度的统治》著成一百周年纪念印度古代伟大的诗人迦梨陀娑印度古代伟大诗人迦梨陀娑的《云使》印度简史前言第一章原始公社时代第二章奴隶制度时代第三章封建制度时代第四章近代印度第五章现代印度1857-59年印度民族起义引言第一章起义前夕印度社会各阶层的分析第二章当时在印度存在着的各种矛盾第三章起义的爆发第四章起义的进程第五章起义的结束第六章起义的影响第七章几种对起义的看法的批判结束语泰戈尔与中国——纪念泰戈尔诞生一百周年纪念泰戈尔诞生一百周年泰戈尔短篇小说的艺术风格古代印度的文化《十王子传》浅论《泰戈尔诗选》序纪念泰戈尔诞生118周年《舞台》中译本序跋弥《佛本生故事》印度俗语文学印度巴利语文学《印度各邦历史文化》序《惊梦记》中译本序《还有一个没有回来》中译本序言沙恭达罗为《印度文学研究集刊》而作——代前言《秘密组织——道路社》中译本序《印度古代史》中译本序言《薄伽梵歌》中译本序《印度印地语文学史》序在印度两大史诗讨论会上的讲话（摘要）《摩奴法论》汉译本序——兼谈印度封建社会起源问题泰戈尔迦梨陀娑《中国普列姆昌德研究论文集》序喜读《罗摩功行之湖》《印度社会述论》序印度文化特征——答《电影艺术））杂志记者问《梨俱吠陀》几首哲学赞歌新解《泰戈尔散文精选》序纪念泰戈尔诞生130周年逝世50周年大会上的发言附录不列颠在印度的统治不列颠在印度统治的未,0
科技想要什么,凯文•凯利,3.67,,"First published November 1, 2011",查尔斯•杜马斯总是与众不同。在我们全力解救全球金融体系时，他却在《科技想要什么》一书中指出了关于未来发展道路上必然会遇到的一些令人不快的事实。美国又回到了债务推动经济增长的老路上，只不过这一次负债主体换成了政府。随着风险的不断攀升美国从中获得的经济收益也逐渐减少。而中国也正走回到出口导向型增长和巨额盈余的发展模式……作者还认为，中国的经济刺激规模过大，稍有不慎就有可能陷入通货膨胀。尽管美国是世界公认的市场经济发源地，但中国的通货膨胀似乎对经济过热（和萧条）更加敏感。他认为，中国问题的关键在于过度的国内投资，中国所需要的是消费的增长。投资浪费已经触目惊心。中国的病根是过度储蓄推动了低效的投资，降低了资本的投资回报率。中国经济发展的两个关键词，一个是浪费，另一个就是泡沫。尽管中国国内生产总值年均增长10％的速度已经令世界叹为观止，但如果中国普通民众的消费需求能被激发出来，其经济增长速度还将进一步提升，更重要的是经济结构将更加均衡。《断裂线》一书将全球化的内在冲突作为论述重点，认为它将在很大程度上决定未来全球经济的发展方向。如果你想深入了解全球经济的发展脉络及未来趋势，这是一本必读书。,3

思考，快与慢,Daniel Kahneman,4.17,Nonfiction,"First published October 25, 2011",在书中，卡尼曼会带领我们体验一次思维的终极之旅。他认为，我们的大脑有快与慢两种作决定的方式。常用的无意识的“系统1”依赖情感、记忆和经验迅速作出判断，它见闻广博，使我们能够迅速对眼前的情况作出反应。但系统1也很容易上当，它固守“眼见即为事实”的原则，任由损失厌恶和乐观偏见之类的错觉引导我们作出错误的选择。有意识的“系统2”通过调动注意力来分析和解决问题，并作出决定，它比较慢，不容易出错，但它很懒惰，经常走捷径，直接采纳系统1的直觉型判断结果。为了使读者真切体会到系统1和系统2这两个主角的特点，卡尼曼介绍了很多经典有趣的行为实验，指出我们在什么情况下可以相信自己的直觉，什么时候不能相信；指导我们如何在商场、职场和个人生活中作出更好的选择，以及如何运用不同技巧来避免那些常常使我们陷入麻烦的思维失误。本书将会彻底改变你对思考的看法。,"529,192"

凯尔特的薄暮(外研社双语读库),W.B.

Xing qing nan nu,戴军 孔雀,0.0,,"First published April 1, 2012",城市让生活更美好，但是越来越大的城市也滋生与繁衍出了更多的爱无能。可无论怎样，我们依然需要爱，更要相信爱。主持界才子戴军，以一副慈悲的胸怀，用真挚的情感、细腻的文笔给我们展示了都市男男女女之间的爱情、友情与亲情的故事，用最温暖的笔触写尽世间百态，并给我们爱的启示。随书附赠戴军签章版明信片一张戴军潜心3年最新力作，“用最温暖的笔触写尽世间百态于丹/李静/王汝刚作序马伊琍/文章/白百合/陈羽凡/姚晨/俞渝/陶思璇倾情推荐于丹说，戴军的文字写得通透，他能像“像诗人一样去讲理”；李静说，戴军的文字跟他说话的方式不一样，更敏锐细腻，还颇有戴氏幽默，论水准，在演艺圈绝对是一流的。看戴军的文字，你会发现自己特别容易全身心地投入到他的故事中去，随着他们哭，随着他们笑，随着他们悲伤——好像这些男男女女的故事就发生在自己身边。幸好，幸好有戴军在，他总能以一种温暖的笔触点醒你，能让你认清现实却更相信爱情，随情随性却不失理智。正如他在文章中所说的：“你只要记住，在几十亿人里，你摔倒时，他扶住了你；你难过时，他陪伴了你；茫茫人海里，他唯独选中了你，你就应该好好去珍惜他啊。”变脸田亮和太太叶一茜来上节目，说起来去民政局领证。田亮说，我从外地飞回来，下了飞机就直接去接叶一茜，看到她和我竟然不谋而合，我们都穿了一件红衣服。我听了特别想乐，去领证挑件红衣服是正常的，不能说明两人就有默契啊。叶说：我想那天是我的大日子啊，得喜庆点儿，特别挑了一件红的，还精心化了妆。谁知道他一见我就说，你怎么还化妆了？我看着田亮又乐起来。田辩解道：不是的，她平时从来不化妆的，看她化了妆感觉特别别扭。我止住笑说：田先生，你看过几个女人不化妆就出门？不是每个人都有你老婆这本钱的。据专业的调研数据：新婚期的男女离婚，大多数的男人是因为忍受不了婚后太太的喋喋不休，而有小部分是因为被第二天早上太太的素颜吓到了。《超级访问》八周年庆典那天，我们请了很多艺人来做活动，后台化妆间到处都挤满了人。我有幸坐在一位著名女影星的旁边。她虽然已近中年，但还是非常美丽。看着化妆间来来去去的众人，她长叹一声道：我真是太久没出来了，这么多的新人，这都是谁啊？我说：姐，她们还没化妆呢，化完了你都认识。女人化不化妆真的区别有那么大吗？最经典的故事是说一个男人娶了位日本太太，一辈子没见过太太的素颜，她永远起得比先生早，睡得比先生晚，轻轻描，细细画，一辈子练下来，手上的功夫应该是非常了得吧。然后我就想到了日本浮世绘的绘画风格，细细的工笔，应该是一个非常有化妆技巧的女人创立的画风吧。化了一辈子妆，眼不花，手不抖，画个浮世绘实在是易如反掌呢。这么一说就矛盾了，那女人究竟要不要在婚前，让你的男人见到你的素颜呢？说到女人化妆，我跑题说一下男人伪装的事。赵子琪在我的节目里说，随着年龄渐长，逐渐被人称为“黄金剩女”，但是自己的标准又不能降低，很是苦恼。经常会有这样的情况出现：交往之初，觉得这个男人还不错，越深入就越觉得不对，几个月后，和认识之时判若两人，只能选择分手。这是非常有可能的，这也是那些出色的女孩被剩下来的原因之一。刚刚相识，遇到这么好的女孩，觉得是天上掉下来的仙女，怎么都得伪装一下。然后，一股脑儿把身上所有好的东,0

Sandalwood Death,Mo Yan,4.26,Fiction,"First published March 1, 2001","This powerful novel by Mo Yan—one of contemporary China’s most famous and prolific writers—is both a stirring love story and an unsparing critique of political corruption during the final years of the Qing Dynasty, China’s last imperial epoch.Sandalwood Death is set during the Boxer Rebellion (1898–1901)—an anti-imperialist struggle waged by North China’s farmers and craftsmen in opposition to Western influence. Against a broad historical canvas, the novel centers on the interplay between its female protagonist, Sun Meiniang, and the three paternal figures in her life. One of these men is her biological father, Sun Bing, an opera virtuoso and a leader of the Boxer Rebellion. As the bitter events surrounding the revolt unfold, we watch Sun Bing march toward his cruel fate, the gruesome “sandalwood punishment,” whose purpose, as in crucifixions, is to keep the condemned individual alive in mind-numbing pain as long as possible.Filled with the sensual imagery and lacerating expressions for which Mo Yan is so celebrated, Sandalwood Death brilliantly exhibits a range of artistic styles, from stylized arias and poetry to the antiquated idiom of late Imperial China to contemporary prose. Its starkly beautiful language is here masterfully rendered into English by renowned translator Howard Goldblatt.","1,109"

New York Times Bestseller
Andrew Britton delivers a taut, electrifying read in his new novel The Assassin. Maverick CIA agent Ryan Kealey must fight against his own agency while the clock is ticking on a devastating terrorist attack on U.S. soil. . .  More than a year has passed since Ryan Kealey prevented the assassination of multiple world leaders in the nation's capital. While his work is brilliant, he's considered damaged goods. Now he's about to become a key player in a plot of unimaginable scale. For something big is about to go down in New York City.  When a top Iranian source reveals that Iran is planning to bomb the United Nations, U.S. Intelligence begins counter-measures. Only Kealey sees it as a smokescreen for another, far more involved plot. But getting anyone to believe him isn't going to be easy. With only his ally, London's newest assistant chief, Naomi Kharmai, by his side, Ryan will have to operate outside the lines in order to prevent a terrible attack in a city on lockdown.  A weapon of catastrophic power has been stolen from war-torn Iraq and has made its way to the U.S. The man who has it is Kealey's nemesis, William Vanderveen, an international criminal mastermind who has no objective other than pure terror and who will stop at nothing to achieve it. Making matters worse, Vanderveen's being helped by someone on the inside with high-ranking security clearance. Even the halls of the CIA are no longer safe from possible espionage and treason. Now, as Kealey and Kharmai race to put the pieces together, they will confront a ghost from the past and be forced to question the people they trust most in a desperate investigation where only this is for certain--time is running out.  Like The American, The Assassin is a supercharged, fiercely intelligent, action-packed international thriller, where no one can be trusted--and the shocks are felt until the very last page. With searing narrative twists, The Invisible plunges us headlong into today's shadowy, fever-pitched battle between terrorism and intelligence, as a covert counterterrorism operative risks everything, including the woman he loves, to save the life of one person. . .  For more than a decade, Ryan Kealey has been a key player in the war on terror. First, as a captain in the U.S. Army's third Special Forces Group, then as a contract operative with the CIA. His actions have saved thousands of lives, including that of the U.S. President. Now once again, Kealey receives the call of duty--only this time, the odds for success are slim to none. . .  Tensions between Pakistan and India are at an all-time high. To complicate matters, twelve American climbers have disappeared in the snow-capped peaks of Pakistan's Hindu Kush range. The President is demanding answers, but neither government is supplying them.  As the conflict escalates, Brynn Fitzgerald departs Washington D.C. on her first official trip as acting secretary of state. Her goal is to serve as an intermediary between the leaders of both nations as well as to ensure all efforts are being made in the search for the missing American climbers. But when Fitzgerald's motorcade is ambushed on the outskirts of Islamabad, her back-up team arrives to discover a disastrous scene: dozens are dead, including seven diplomatic security agents, and the secretary of state has vanished without a trace.  In the wake of the unprecedented attack, Kealey's operation goes into high gear. Once again, he is joined by Naomi Kharmai, the British-born analyst who has taken on a daring new role with the Agency. But Kharmai is becoming as unpredictable as the man they're going after, and as they work their way toward the target, it becomes clear to Kealey that anyone is fair game--and no one can be trusted.  Thundering to a stark and chilling climax, The Invisible raises the stakes on every page. Like Andrew Britton's The Assassin, it is a super-charged, fiercely intelligent international thriller filled with shocking betrayal and, ultimately, revenge. The shocks are felt until the very last page. Born in England, Andrew Britton moved with his family to the United States when he was seven, settling in Michigan, then North Carolina. After serving in the Army as a combat engineer, Andrew entered the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he is pursuing a double major in economics and psychology. For the President of the United States, the daily horror of life in West Darfur's killing fields just hit heartbreakingly close to home. His niece, Lily, has been targeted and savagely murdered by a corps of fearsome government-backed militiamen. With the situation too explosive for diplomatic or military solutions, yet with the President and the public thirsting for revenge, America is out of options. Except one: Ryan Kealey, ex-Special Forces, former CIA, and unrivaled counterterrorism expert.Kealey has been central to the war on terror for over a decade. But after the Agency hung him out to dry-and let his lover die-he turned his back. Until now. For the government has revealed its trump card, the one thing Kealey will risk everything for. Soon, from the lawless streets of Sudan to the highest levels of the American government, Kealey unearths secrets and betrayals that shock even his war-tempered sensibilities-and ignite a conflagration with unknowable global consequences.  ""In this age of terrorism, [Britton's] plots seem to jump straight out of the headlines...he may well give Tom Clancy a run for the money."" -St. Louis Post-Dispatch on The Invisible ""The Assassin is the 'best' of Tom Clancy, Michael Connelly, and Robert Ludlum all rolled into a single book."" --armchairinterviews.com ""Brilliantly well-written with plotting sharper than a fence full of razor wire, a sizzling page-turner."" -Brad Thor, New York Times bestselling author on The American",210

This skillfully designed 10-part poem explores what it's like to ache for someone. This is the book you buy yourself or a friend when you are going through a breakup or a one-sided crush, it's the perfect balance between aha, humor & heartbreak.Visit to download a free sample, the first two parts : http://bit.ly/aftershesaysno-""Reading Kris Ryan's What To Do After She Says No is like watching your heart pound outside of your chest. Both an unsettling visual experience and a hurricane of sadness and rebirth--this book demands more than just your attention, it takes a little bit of your soul, and in the end, makes everything feel whole again.""-John Dorsey, Author of Tombstone Factory, Epic Rites Press, 2013.---""What to Do After She Says No takes us from Shanghai to the interior of a refrigerator, but mostly dwells inside the injured human heart, exploring the aftermath of emotional betrayal. This poem is a compact blast of brutality, with such instructions as “Climb onto the roof and jump off. If you break your leg, you are awake. If you land without injury, pinch and twist at your arm until you wake up.” Ryan’s use of the imperative often leads us to a reality where pain is the only outcome, but this piece is not without tenderness, and certainly not without play, with sounds and images ricocheting off each other throughout. Anticipate the poetry you wish you knew about during your last bad breakup; this poem offers a first “foothold to climb out” from that universal experience.""- Lisa Mangini---""What to Do After She Says No is exquisite. Truly, perfectly exquisite. It pulls you in on a familiar and wild ride of a heart blown open and a mind twisting in an effort to figure it all out. It's raw and vibrant...and in the same breath comforting. I want to crawl inside this book and live in a world where heartache is expressed so magnificently.""- Jo Anna Rothman, joannarothman.com",16

Dennoch werden Anarchismus und Christentum selten zusammengedacht. Christliche AnarchistInnen sind aber der Überzeugung, dass eben dies eine große Bereicherung sowohl für den Anarchismus als auch für das Christentum wäre. Der Sammelband geht der Frage nach, wie libertäres Christentum aussehen kann, stellt unterschiedliche christlich-anarchistische Traditionen vor und untersucht diverse Aspekte dieser libertären Strömung und der sich darauf berufenden Bewegung(en). Christlicher Anarchismus wird oft ausschließlich mit Leo Tolstoi assoziiert. Dieses Buch ist der Versuch, den christlich-anarchistischen Diskurs zu verbreitern und die unterschiedlichen Facetten und Debatten zum Thema einzufangen. Die Textsammlung bietet allgemeine Reflexionen zum Verhältnis von Anarchismus und Christentum, Beiträge, die sich mit libertärer Exegese beschäftigen, Überlegungen zu christlich-anarchistischem Aktivismus sowie Porträts christlicher AnarchistInnen wie Jacques Ellul, Dorothy Day und Ammon Hennacy von der Catholic-Worker-Bewegung oder Peter Chelcicky. „Christlicher Anarchismus.

Biohacker. Scienza aperta e società dell'informazione,Alessandro Delfanti,3.28,Science,"First published May 7, 2013","L'emergere di nuove forme di scienza aperta sta riconfigurando profondamente le relazioni tra ricerca, società e mercato. Le culture hacker sono infatti uscite dal mondo del software per contaminare altri saperi, in particolare le scienze della vita. E così nata l'inedita figura del biohacker, capace di mettere in discussione la ricerca proprietaria perseguita da ""Big Bio"" e la sua politica dei brevetti. Le modalità che caratterizzano questa trasformazione non sono però univoche, come mostrano i tre casi esemplari discussi nel libro: quello del biologo Craig Venter, quello della virologa Ilaria Capua e quello dell'artista-hacker Salvatore Iaconesi. E se una tendenza sta evolvendo verso una forma definibile come biocapitalismo, l'altra si muove invece verso una scienza partecipativa basata sulla più ampia condivisione di informazione e conoscenza",29

Renverser l'insoutenable,Yves Citton,0.0,,"Published August 30, 2012","Dictature des marchés, politiques d’austérité, inégalités sociales criantes, catastrophes environnementales, crises démocratiques : de toutes parts nous arrivent les signes de la fin d’un monde. Pour Yves Citton, ce sont les pressions insoutenables que nous inflige un mode de développement fourvoyé qui rendent la situation actuelle invivable. Yves Citton prend la mesure de cet insoutenable à la fois environnemental, éthique, social, médiatique et psychique et propose un nouveau vocabulaire pour nous aider à appréhender les pressions qui nous traversent et nous rendent la vie de plus en plus intenable. À la croisée de la philosophie morale et politique, de l’économie et de la théorie littéraire, cet essai drôle et enlevé prend le contre-pied du misérabilisme ambiant en révélant que le renversement de l’insoutenable est déjà inscrit dans la dynamique de nos gestes les plus communs et que tout geste politique prend sa source dans ces deux questions : Comment fais-je pression sans le vouloir? Comment faire pression en le voulant? Attentif au rôle de l’image et à l’évolution du discours politique, Yves Citton livre ici les moyens de repenser notre place et notre action dans un processus qui apparemment nous dépasse, en montrant que l’on peut tirer parti des dispositifs médiatiques, plutôt que de les subir et ainsi, une fois fait le deuil du Grand Soir, proposer des alternatives à la politique du pire.",0

The Exodus Road: One Wife's Journey into Sex Trafficking and Rescue,Laura  Parker,4.08,Christianity,"First published September 4, 2013","What if you lived in a place where you knew children were being sold for sex right down the street? What would you do? Would you send your husband into a brothel to find them? The Exodus Road is a true story about one wife's journey into sex trafficking and rescue. Living in Malaysia, Laura's husband, Matt, who was a former youth pastor, became an undercover investigator deputized by the local police. Matt investigated hundreds of remote brothels, back alleys, mafia-driven red-light districts, taking their marriage on a journey into the realities of what rescue really costs. Matt eventually began The Exodus Road, a nonprofit coalition of investigators which has fueled hundreds of rescues from sex slavery and spans several continents. Written honestly and powerfully, Laura writes of her own journey as a woman, drawn into the fight against modern-day slavery. She gives a first-person account from the front lines of the mechanisms of trafficking, the stories of girls trapped in brothels, and the grit involved in the undercover investigative world.",85

"Pharmacratie. Médecine et politique, l'État thérapeutique",Thomas Szasz,4.43,Nonfiction,"First published April 30, 2001","In recent decades, American medicine has become increasingly politicized and politics has become increasingly medicalized. Behaviors previously seen as virtuous or wicked, wise or unwise are now dealt with as ""healthy"" or ""sick""--unwanted behaviors to be controlled as if they were health issues. The modern penchant for transforming human problems into ""diseases"" and judicial sanctions into ""treatments,"" replacing the rule of law with the rule of medical discretion, leads to the creation of a type of government social critic Thomas Szasz calls ""pharmacracy."" Medicalizing troublesome behaviors and social problems is tempting to voters and politicians alike: it panders to the people by promising to satisfy their needs for dependence on medical authority and offers easy self-aggrandizement to politicians as the dispensers of more and better ""health care."" Thus, the people gain a convenient scapegoat, enabling them to avoid personal responsibility for their behavior. The government gains a rationale for endless and politically expedient ""wars"" against social problems defined as public health emergencies. The health care system gains prestige, funding, and bureaucratic power that only an alliance with the political system can provide. However, Szasz warns, the creeping substitution of pharmacracy for democracy--private medical concerns increasingly perceived as requiring a political response--inexorably erodes personal freedom and dignity. Pharmacracy: Medicine and Politics in America is a clear and convincing presentation of this hidden danger, all too often ignored in our health care debates and avoided in our political contests.",35

Hon har vuxit upp med den, på en ensligt belägen gård tillsammans med andra utövare. Kanske är det skälet till att hon har få vänner i sin egen ålder, men det har också gett henne en obestridlig känsla av att vara betydelsefull. Hon ser det som sin skyldighet att utöva och skydda ma¬gin, såsom Blodsväktarna har gjort i århundraden. Ute i naturen, långt från alla vittnen, kan hon utöva den med stolthet och glädje, men hon vet också att om blodsmagin inte utförs på rätt sätt kan dess kraft bli oöverskådlig och fruktansvärd.

Lunen: Triblood,Ahmed Al-Sheikh,4.17,Fantasy,"First published January 10, 2013","When Winnie Winters is whisked away to a strange new world, her life takes on a new adventurous path that she never imagined possible. Once there, Winnie meets a young Triblood by the name of Lunen, and together, they begin on an exciting journey filled with the unexpected. Aboard the airship Freewind with Lunen, Winnie is introduced to Lunen’s friends Liana and Lieto, the captain and first mate, as well as the twins Migs and Zeg who are the ship’s doctor and engineer. Fighting side by side with Lunen, Winnie will soon learn more about this new world full of dangerous beasts, otherworldly monsters, and even more dangerous, the greater evils of men. Lunen: Triblood is a new science fiction, fantasy novel that explores the themes of personal growth and the classic notion of good versus evil. The physical and emotional journey that Winnie and Lunen embark on lead them down a path that will either make them better people in the end or will kill them in the process. Peppered with action and adventure, this invigorating new novel keeps the excitement at max levels while showing readers the value of personal growth.A clever mix of humor, action, and introspection, Lunen by Ahmed Al-Sheikh feels more like a blockbuster movie than a heroic fantasy novel. With witty and sharp dialogue, the novel is full of banter between characters that is thoroughly amusing, and the action scenes are so extraordinarily vivid and visceral in their description that readers will find themselves so completely immersed, it will be easy to forget they’re reading a novel and not watching a movie. However, not to be mistaken for a shallow affair, Lunen has true moments of profound introspection, and it boldly embraces heavier themes related to the emotional and physical improvement of its protagonists. Between its immersive new world, nail-biting action, and crisp dialogue, Lunen is an exhilarating fantasy ride that will ultimately leave readers breathless.",29

The Tillage of Light,Patrick Scot,3.0,,"First published January 1, 1623","The Tillage of Light, or a True Discoverie of the Philosophical Elixir commonly called the philosopher's stone, London, 1623. Dedicated to James Hamilton, 2nd Marquess of Hamilton.This is a hermetic and ethical work, denying physical alchemical transmutation but promulgating the spiritual benefits of the creation of the Stone. Stanton J. Linden says that Scot's concern in the work is esoteric alchemy:""[Scot] categorically rejects physical transmutation in favor of spiritual and philosophical realities to which, in his view, alchemy has a primary reference. Nonetheless, the problems that Scot notes in communicating moral and ethical wisdom, as portrayed in the figure of Minerva, are similar to those faced by alchemical writers of all types: the concerns with revelation and concealment. For writers who believed they possessed secrets of the art and, for whatever reason, wished to communicate them, there was a great anxiety about the moral, spiritual, and intellectual ""worthiness"" of the recipient. Wisdom must not be allowed to prophecy in vain, after all it is sent from heaven, nor must her truths be apprehended by those who are not of ""sound mindes."" Darke Hieroglyphicks 31-32",1

Rassegnati a un destino mediocre, ben lontano dalla brillante carriera cui Sosuke poteva aspirare sia per nascita che per doti personali, marito e moglie trovano conforto nel reciproco amore, balsamo inestinguibile col quale placano il rimorso che si annida costantemente in un angolo della loro coscienza.Pochi sarebbero gli eventi in grado di scuotere la loro quieta malinconia, se un giorno Sosuke non rischiasse di incontrare Yasui presso il padrone di casa, il ricco, gioviale e generoso Sakai.La notizia che l’amico si accinge a ritornare a Tokyo dalla Mongolia sconvolge Sosuke e rinfocola tutte le ansie faticosamente tenute a bada. Pur di non correre il pericolo di trovarsi faccia a faccia con colui che un tempo era il suo miglior amico, sconvolto all’idea che Sakai venga a conoscenza della slealtà sua e di Oyone, verso la quale nessuno al tempo mostrò indulgenza, Sosuke cerca rifugio temporaneo in un tempio zen, senza rivelare alla moglie il vero motivo della sua improvvisa decisione.Ultimo libro di una trilogia ideale preceduta da Sanshiro e da E poi, La porta affronta temi quali l’irreversibilità della colpa, il crollo delle illusioni, e la forza misteriosa del rimorso, ma è anche un delicato romanzo sull’amore coniugale, sulla poetica bellezza del rapporto fra due persone che riescono a trovare nell’accettazione del proprio destino una singolare felicità.","2,402"

In una notte di pioggia, infatti, il quadro fu staccato dalle pareti dell’Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum e strappato alla sua cornice da una coppia di ladri maldestri, impegnati nel più grande furto d’arte ancora irrisolto della storia.Basato sul celebre furto, avvenuto nel 1990 a Boston, di capolavori di Vermeer, Rembrandt, Degas e Manet, La falsaria conduce il lettore nel mondo dell’arte della nostra epoca, un mondo popolato da ladri, falsari e avidi collezionisti, un universo soggiogato dal mito della bellezza e dallo sfrenato desiderio che soltanto l’arte è in grado di suscitare.","90,148"

Tujci,Ivan Cankar,3.84,,"First published January 1, 1926","Cankarjev roman Tujci je v določenem delu avtobiografski, saj v osrednji zgodbi umetnika Pavleta Slivarja hitro prepoznamo Cankarjevo usodo na Dunaju. V domačem okolju kipar Slivar nima priložnosti, da bi se ukvarjal z umetnostjo in se preživljal, zato gre na Dunaj. A tudi tam se ne znajde in ga povsod spremlja občutek odtujenosti, kljub temu se celo zaljubi in poroči, občasno opravlja nekatera dela, a bolj obrtniška kot umetniška, kar od Slivarja zahteva konformistično prilagoditev njegovega estetskega čuta. Temu pa se Slivar nikakor noče odreči, ne želi se prilagoditi, ostaja drugačen, tuj, zato se na koncu povsem osami in stori samomor. A Slivarjeva usoda ne pomeni nujno osebnega in poklicnega umetnikovega bega in poraza, kakor se je doslej najpogosteje interpretiral Slivarjev samomor, pač pa lahko opazujemo globoko samospoznanje o lastnem bivanjskem položaju in zavestno odločitev za edino temu položaju primerno možnost.Tujci torej niso povsem odraz pesimističnega fatalizma, pač pa lahko v tem prvem Cankarjevem romanu vidimo daljnosežno napoved sodobnih romanov, ki posebno pozornost posvečajo menjavi različnih literarnih perspektiv, v tem primeru različnih oblik tujosti, z namenom empatičnega vživljanja pisca – in kasneje bralcev – v različne literarne osebe in kontekste.",19

Ricco di casi e di dati, racconta e documenta tutto ciò che è stato detto e scritto contro la pubblicità: la sua tirannia, la sua tendenza a coglierci di sorpresa, a catturare con ogni sotterfugio possibile la nostra attenzione, a sollecitare artificiosamente i nostri desideri, a condizionare pesantemente i mezzi di comunicazione, a imporre una visione della vita che presenta come valori supremi il consumo, il possesso, l'emulazione, l'edonismo.È rivolto, naturalmente, ai consumatori, ai genitori, ai politici. Ma anche a chi commissiona e a chi realizza la pubblicità. Soprattutto a coloro che, volenti o nolenti, sono raggiunti quotidianamente da una miriade di messaggi carichi di suggestione, sfacciatamente intrusivi, spesso portatori di sollecitazioni pericolose.La cattura dell'attenzione, la promozione di prodotti ""a rischio"", la deformazione della realtà, la degradazione della donna e altre volgarità, l'influenza su bambini e adolescenti, il condizionamento dei media.

"Pablo Escobar, el patrón del mal",Alonso Salazar,3.98,Nonfiction,"First published October 1, 2001","De Pablo Escobar, el famoso narcotraficante colombiano, hemos oído hablar miles de veces por su infinita capacidad para ejercer el mal, que llevó a organismos como la DEA a calificarlo como uno de los más grandes criminales de la historia. Sin embargo, poco se habla de sus orígenes familiares y sociales, de sus dimensiones humanas y de la manera como su personalidad fue evolucionando hasta llegar al desbordamiento. Alonso Salazar J. se sumergió en archivos y buscó testimonios inéditos de familiares y vecinos, de amigos y enemigos, para entrelazar en un intenso relato, sin maniqueísmo, versiones diversas y contradictorias que al final construyen un retrato más completo del personaje. Así, a lo largo de esta historia, Escobar aparece a veces como un guerrero que despertó la admiración de sectores excluidos que lo consideraron un héroe, y otras, como un villano que hizo de la muerte un negocio, y luego la amplió, con el terror indiscriminado, para someter al Estado y a la sociedad. Aquí se presentan dimensiones íntimas, cuadros complejos y humanos, de un hombre que buscaba desesperadamente identidad y reconocimiento, y que amó a su esposa y a sus hijos hasta perder la vida por ellos. También encontramos una radiografía donde Escobar deja de ser un personaje brotado de la nada para convertirse en producto, por un lado, de una sociedad, como la colombiana, plagada de conflictos históricos y, por otro, del gran negocio del final del siglo XX: el tráfico de cocaína.",655

Music in the Castle of Heaven,John Eliot Gardiner,4.08,Music,"First published October 29, 2013","Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the most unfathomable composers in the history of music. How can such sublime work have been produced by a man who (when we can discern his personality at all) seems so ordinary, so opaque - and occasionally so intemperate? John Eliot Gardiner grew up passing one of the only two authentic portraits of Bach every morning and evening on the stairs of his parents' house, where it hung for safety during the Second World War. He has been studying and performing Bach ever since, and is now regarded as one of the composer's greatest living interpreters. The fruits of this lifetime's immersion are distilled in this remarkable book, grounded in the most recent Bach scholarship but moving far beyond it, which explains in wonderful detail the ideas on which Bach drew, how he worked, how his music is constructed, how it achieves its effects - and what it can tell us about Bach the man. Gardiner's background as a historian has encouraged him to search for ways in which scholarship and performance can cooperate and fruitfully coalesce. This has entailed piecing together the few biographical shards, scrutinising the music, and watching for those instances when Bach's personality seems to penetrate the fabric of his notation. Gardiner's aim is 'to give the reader a sense of inhabiting the same experiences and sensations that Bach might have had in the act of music-making. This, I try to show, can help us arrive at a more human likeness discernible in the closely related processes of composing and performing his music.' It is very rare that such an accomplished performer of music should also be a considerable writer and thinker about it. John Eliot Gardiner takes us as deeply into Bach's works and mind as perhaps words can. The result is a unique book about one of the greatest of all creative artists.","1,621"

True Time Travel Stories: Amazing Real Life Stories In the News,Richard Bullivant,3.8,Time Travel,"First published October 1, 2013","What the Scientists Say About Time TravelIt's fair to say that most scientists today will tell you that time travel is impossible. Three of today's top physicists - Charles Liu, Brian Green and Michio Kaku - all hold that time travel is, if not impossible, unlikely in the extreme. However, one of the most brilliant minds of our time, physicist Stephen Hawking, disagrees - although only partially. He believes that time travel is theoretically possible, but only into the future..... But What Do Real People Experience?The opinion of science, however, has never stopped thousands of people around the world from reporting what they firmly believe are actual experiences of spontaneous time travel! Still others insist that time travel is not only possible, but they have already done it as part of top secret government programmes. Claims for time travel range from the highly flaky to the astoundingly believable. They are especially difficult to dismiss when time travel reports come from absolutely ordinary, rock-solid people who have nothing to gain by proclaiming they travelled in time.Many people who report time travel experiences don't necessarily believe it themselves. What happened to them was so strange, so unexpected, yet so real; they simply have no other good explanation for their experience.You will meet a number of such individuals in this book, most of their stories straight out of the headline of local newspapers. No doubt, a story or two will strike the reader as pure balderdash. On the other hand, some of these cases of time travel are tantalizing and unexplainable. They also come with a certain amount of solid evidence, such as stopped clocks, frozen machines and electromagnetic devices acting in inexplicable ways. Physicist and NASA scientist Tom Campbell said that scientific advances always 'come from the fringe.' Thus, even if you consider some of these stories stepping dangerously 'out there' onto that fringy edge, remember that many of yesterday's fringe theories are today's scientific fact. At the very least, it doesn't hurt to approach the idea of time travel with an open mind and a sense of wonder.Contents Include:* The Man Who Froze Time* Time Storms* Andrew Basiago* Planes, Trains & Automobiles.....and Ships* Liverpool* Back in Time - Retro-causation* The Kersey Time Slip* Remote Time",176

"Clergy Tales--Tails: Wagging, Friendly but Exhausting",Stephen P. McCutchan,0.0,,"First published June 20, 2013","In this second volume of Clergy Tales--Tails, we are invited to share in three tales, fictional but true, of the types of challenges clergy experience. The first tale describes the experience of competition and envy that clergy face in relation to other clergy. The second story tells of how a sincere pastor can be tempted by a combination of financial stresses and his desire to feel worthwhile to his family. The third story depicts the struggles that some women have in the ministry and the mysterious way that God works through their ministries. A bonus in this issue is a family game that can enable pastors to seek healthy ways that his or her family members can respond to the pressures of ministry on the family.",0

W stronę Swanna,Marcel Proust,4.15,Fiction,"First published November 14, 1913","Wydanie na 100-lecie pierwszego wydania tego arcydzieła XX wieku.""W stronę Swanna"" to pierwszy tom quasi-autobiograficznego cyklu Marcela Prousta W poszukiwaniu straconego czasu, uznanego w powszechnej opinii krytyków za arcydzieło literatury. Pewnego dnia smak magdalenki zanurzonej w herbacie budzi w bohaterze, młodym człowieku rozpieszczonym przez matkę i babkę, wspomnienia. Wraca myślą do miasteczka Combray, gdzie spędzał cudowne wakacje jako dziecko. Powracają też wspomnienia spacerów szlakiem posiadłości pana Swanna, gdzie mieszka niedostępna księżna będąca obiektem westchnień bohatera…Kariera pisarska Prousta szła drogą dość niezwykłą. Zaczęła się stosunkowo późno, przerwała ją wojna, potem przecięła ją rychła śmierć. Ale mimo że w chwili zgonu nieznane było jeszcze w całości jego dzieło, już niepodobna było wątpić, że odszedł artysta i myśliciel na miarę największych; Proust zaważył jak mało kto na swojej epoce. Tuż po śmierci Prousta zaczęto gromadzić – z niezawodną pewnością ich znaczenia – dokumenty tyczące pisarza i człowieka, listy, wspomnienia, tradycje ustne.Równocześnie zaczęła narastać legenda. Nie ma dziś czytelnika – a może i nie czytelnika – Prousta, który by nie wiedział o jego chorobie, o jego światowych sukcesach, o jego późniejszym odosobnieniu, o jego dostatku, hojności, neurastenii, dziwactwach, o heroizmie wreszcie, z jakim do ostatniego tchnienia pracował, uzupełniał swoje dzieło, spożytkowując jako materiał twórczy własne cierpienie, niemal własną śmierć.

The Adventures of Poo Boy,Sean Frawley,4.7,,"First published January 1, 2013","For the first thirteen years of his life, Farrell Wakefield believed his father was crazy. Not your typical old man who wears socks with sandals and listens to lame music kind of crazy, Farrell’s father actually lost a fight with a ceiling fan after accidentally setting a fish tank on fire with a waffle iron. And though it is only natural for a man like this to write tales about a ridiculous world filled with car-sized mosquitos and talking sea butterflies that wear avocado-shaped hats, it doesn’t mean Farrell ever has to bother reading any of them.Of course, now that his father has been kidnapped by monsters from one of his books, his preposterous claims that a super villain is on the way to destroy Earth suddenly seem much more credible. Perhaps if Farrell had bothered to read any of his father’s stories, he would also realize that his family is part of a complicated Valenock prophecy. Like most prophecies from Nibbur Znutz, it begins with a ceremonial bowl of fruit and a three-headed groundhog. Unlike the others, this particular prophecy ends with the destruction of Farrell’s entire world.Now, Farrell’s hopes rest in his scatter-brained younger brother Trevor, perhaps the only person alive crazier than his dad. Trevor, who has the attention span of a caffeinated gerbil and dreams of making millions as a Youtube stuntman, is also the only person capable of guiding Farrell through the dangerous realm of Nibbur Znutz in time to find their dad and hopefully save the world.",37

As an avowed technology optimist, I'm grateful for Keen who makes me stop and think before committing myself fully to the social revolution."" —Larry Downes, author of The Killer AppIn Digital Vertigo, Andrew Keen presents today's social media revolution as the most wrenching cultural transformation since the Industrial Revolution. Fusing a fast-paced historical narrative with front-line stories from today's online networking revolution and critiques of ""social"" companies like Groupon, Zynga and LinkedIn, Keen argues that the social media transformation is weakening, disorienting and dividing us rather than establishing the dawn of a new egalitarian and communal age. The tragic paradox of life in the social media age, Keen says, is the incompatibility between our internet longings for community and friendship and our equally powerful desire for online individual freedom. By exposing the shallow core of social networks, Andrew Keen shows us that the more electronically connected we become, the lonelier and less powerful we seem to be.",389

"Liturgia. Gloria di Dio, santificazione dell'uomo",Guido Marini,5.0,,"First published February 1, 2013","Nelle autorevoli parole contenute nel Catechismo della Chiesa Cattolica, eco fedele del magistero liturgico del Concilio Vaticano II, si trova la ragione del titolo di questo libro: «Si comprende la duplice dimensione della Liturgia cristiana come risposta di fede e di amore alle “benedizioni spirituali” di cui il Padre ci fa dono. Da una parte, la Chiesa, unita al suo Signore e sotto l’azione dello Spirito Santo, benedice il Padre per il “suo ineffabile Dono” (2Cor 9,15) con l’adorazione, la lode e l’azione di grazie. Dall’altra, e fino al pieno compimento del disegno di Dio, la Chiesa non cessa di presentare al Padre “l’offerta dei propri doni” e d’implorare che mandi lo Spirito Santo sull’offerta, su se stessa, sui fedeli e sul mondo intero, affinché, per la comunione alla Morte e Risurrezione di Cristo Sacerdote e per la potenza dello Spirito, queste benedizioni divine portino frutti di vita “a lode e gloria della sua grazia” (Ef 1,6)».La liturgia è glorificazione di Dio e santificazione dell’uomo. Proprio perché Dio è glorificato si rende possibile il capolavoro della santità tra gli uomini. Entrare nell’atto liturgico, parteciparvi integralmente significa ritrovare l’orientamento a Dio, glorificandolo in Cristo Salvatore, per poi ritornare alla quotidianità della vita animati dallo splendore della grazia.",2

On the 25th of November, as Kennedy’s body lay in state at the Rotunda in Washington, Anastas Mikyoan, Khrushchev’s top adviser, presented the Premier’s condolences to Jacqueline Kennedy.

Tutti i disegni contenuti nelle lettere sono riprodotti e, insieme alle tavole fuori testo, costituiscono un apparato iconografico che permette, come si diceva, di penetrare a fondo nel laboratorio pittorico dell'artista.

Uzlaşma ve Kokuşmuş Uzlaşmalar,Avishai Margalit,3.65,Philosophy,"First published January 1, 2009","Siyasal uzlaşma ne zaman kabul edilebilir ? ve ne zaman, temelden kokuşmuş, sonu nereye varırsa varsın asla kabul etmememiz gereken bir şeydir? Peki ya kokuşmuş uzlaşma siyaseten gerekliyse? Uzlaşma büyük bir siyasal erdemdir, özellikle de barış uğrunaysa. Fakat Avishai Margalit'in ileri sürdüğü gibi, kabul edilebilir uzlaşmanın barış için bile ahlaki sınırları vardır. Ama işte nedir bu sınırlar? Uzlaşmayla sağlanmış barış hangi noktada adaletsiz olur? Şaşırtıcı derecede az dikkat çekmiş hayati önemdeki sorular üzerine odaklanan Margalit, sadece savaşı adil kılan şeyle değil, ne tür bir uzlaşmanın adil bir barışa olanak sağladığıyla da ilgilenmemiz gerektiğini ileri sürüyor.Münih anlaşması, Yalta Konferansı ve Arap-İsrail barış müzakereleri de dahil geniş bir örnek yelpazesini inceleyen İsrail solunun en etkili ismi Margalit, çeşitli biçimleriyle siyasal uzlaşmanın doğasını didik didik ediyor. Felsefeyi, siyaseti ve tarihi birleştiren, canlı ve kolay anlaşılır bir üslupla yazılmış Uzlaşma ve Kokuşmuş Uzlaşmalar, savaş, barış, adalet ve mezhepçilik hakkında şaşırtıcı yeni içgörülerle dolu. ""Türkiye'nin kadim Kürt Sorunu'nun -yani demokratikleşme sorununun- şiddetten arındırılarak siyasal ve yasal yöntemlerle -eşitlik ve özgürlük temelinde- çözümünün tartışıldığı bugünlerde Margalit, sadece barış, uzlaşma ve onur siyaseti üzerine düşünceleriyle değil demokrasi, muhafazakarlık ve din üzerine çarpıcı görüşleriyle de dikkatle okunmayı gerektiren, ufuk açıcı bir düşünür. Şunu rahatlıkla söyleyebilirim, Margalit'in etik, ahlak, din, mezhepçilik ve siyaset ilişkilerine dair somut analizleri ve yeni bir siyaset inşa etmeye dönük pratik önerileri Türkiye üzerine düşünen tüm insanların ufkunu genişletecek ve kendi siyasal bakış açılarını eleştirel bir biçimde ele almalarına neden olacak güçte, elverir ki dikkatle okunsun.""""Avishai Margalit etiğin ihmal edilmiş fakat önemli bir alanına, uzlaşmaların ahlaki olarak kabul edilebilir olduğu zamana, güçlü bir ışık tutuyor. Yeni ve ikna edici ayrımlar ortaya koyup hem çağdaş hem de yakın geçmişteki tarihsel olayların birtakım ana meselelerini aydınlatıyor.""-Kenneth J. Arrow, Nobel İktisat Ödülü sahibi-""Bu kitap geniş tartışmalar yaratacak, çünkü uzlaşma --yapıldığı zaman, karşı konulduğu zaman-- siyasal hayatta can alıcı bir konu, ve Avishai Margalit de analitik becerileri ve ahlaki sezgisiyle evrensel saygı kazanmış biri. Margalit'in verdiği örnekler kitaba tarihsel derinlik ve önem katıyor. Metin canlı, kolay anlaşılır ve akılda kalıcı. Bu kitap beni içine çekti ve sonuna kadar da ilgimi canlı tuttu.""-Michael Ignatief-""Bu kitap siyaset felsefesindeki temel fakat ihmal edilmiş bir konunun ortaya çıkarılması ve ele alınışı bakımından son derece önemlidir.

Castaneda describes how don Juan and his party, left thisworld—""the warriors of don Juan’s party had caught me for an eternal instant, before they vanished into the total light, before the Eagle let them go through""—and how he, himself, upon witnessing such a sight, jumped into the abyss.","3,688"

Inside of a Dog,Alexandra Horowitz,3.62,Nonfiction,"First published January 1, 2009","The answers will surprise and delight you as Alexandra Horowitz, a cognitive scientist, explains how dogs perceive their daily worlds, each other, and that other quirky animal, the human. Horowitz introduces the reader to dogs’ perceptual and cognitive abilities and then draws a picture of what it might be like to be a dog. What’s it like to be able to smell not just every bit of open food in the house but also to smell sadness in humans, or even the passage of time? How does a tiny dog manage to play successfully with a Great Dane? What is it like to hear the bodily vibrations of insects or the hum of a fluorescent light? Why must a person on a bicycle be chased? What’s it like to use your mouth as a hand? In short, what is it like for a dog to experience life from two feet off the ground, amidst the smells of the sidewalk, gazing at our ankles or knees?Inside of a Dog explains these things and much more. The answers can be surprising—once we set aside our natural inclination to anthropomorphize dogs. Inside of a Dog also contains up-to-the-minute research—on dogs’ detection of disease, the secrets of their tails, and their skill at reading our attention—that Horowitz puts into useful context. Although not a formal training guide, Inside of a Dog has practical application for dog lovers interested in understanding why their dogs do what they do. With a light touch and the weight of science behind her, Alexandra Horowitz examines the animal we think we know best but may actually understand the least. This book is as close as you can get to knowing about dogs without being a dog yourself.","17,227"

Trauma,Patrick McGrath,3.24,Fiction,"First published January 1, 2007","McGrath manipulates reader expectations expertly in this sharp-edged psychological study of a man deluded by his personal demons. Charlie Weir, a Manhattan psychiatrist, applies the life skills the members of his badly dysfunctional family have helped him hone to counseling patients with post-traumatic stress disorder. While everyone else he knows appears in danger of spinning out of orbit, Charlie exudes the calmness and confidence of a man in control of his circumstances. But he's unable to connect emotionally with the women in his life, and he repeatedly revisits his memory of the suicide of his ex-wife's brother, who was also one of his patients. With painstaking precision, McGrath drives this story to a climactic, if hastily resolved, moment of self-revelation in which Charlie uncovers a forgotten personal trauma that has perverted his perceptions and made him the most unreliable of narrators. Notwithstanding these efforts to give Charlie's tale the jolt of a psychological thriller, this is a haunting story of a man in the grip of a painful and beautifully articulated spiritual malaise.","1,497"

"The Transformational Power of Fasting: The Way to Spiritual, Physical, and Emotional Rejuvenation",Stephen Harrod Buhner,4.21,Health,"First published January 1, 2003","Fasting practices to reconnect with the sacred, regain a sense of your life&rsquo;s purpose, and heal physically and emotionally &bull; Details what to expect during your fast physically, emotionally, and spiritually &bull; Provides step-by-step guidelines on preparing for the fast, how long you should fast, what you can and can&rsquo;t do during the fast, and how to end your fast &bull; Explains how fasting can help or heal many chronic conditions, such as type II diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, psoriasis, and insomnia For millennia humans have fasted for spiritual, emotional, and physical reasons--as a way to heal their bodies, reconnect to the sacred, regain a sense of life&rsquo;s purpose, and allow their souls to detoxify. We are evolutionarily designed to fast, and the body knows how to do it very well. Fasting allows the body and all its systems to rest, purify, and heal. During a fast, the body enters the same cleansing and healing cycle it normally enters during sleep. As a fast progresses, the body consumes everything that is not essential to bodily functioning--including bacteria, viruses, fibroid tumors, waste products in the blood, buildup around the joints, and stored fat--and the mind and heart release their toxic buildup as well. As Stephen Harrod Buhner reveals, in order to be truly transformed, you must first empty yourself. Offering step-by-step guidelines to fully prepare yourself for a deep fast, Buhner explores what to expect during and after spiritual, emotional, and physical fasting and detoxification. He details the necessary dietary and mental preparations leading up to your fast, what you can and can&rsquo;t do during a fast, and how to end your fast. He also explains how to plan the length of your fast and how to choose between a water fast, a juice fast, or a mono-diet fast. Revealing how fasting can help or heal many chronic conditions, such as type II diabetes, childhood seizures, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, psoriasis, insomnia, and fibromyalgia, Buhner shows fasting as a way to truly inhabit the body, to experience its sacredness, and to activate its deep capabilities for self-healing.",287

Peace And War: Britain In 1914,Nigel Jones,3.66,History,"First published December 16, 2013","1914 dawned with Britain at peace, albeit troubled by faultlines within and threats without: Ireland trembled on the brink of civil war; suffragette agitation was assuming an ever more violent hue; and suspicions of Germany's ambitions bred a paranoia expressed in a rash of ‘invasion scare' literature.Then when shots rang out in Sara-jevo on 28 June, they set in train a tumble of diplomatic dominos that led to Britain declaring war on Germany.Nigel Jones depicts every facet of a year that changed Britain for ever.

Shortly after James unearths a pile of charred bones near their home, his wife, Adele, begins incorporating gruesome images into her increasingly morbid still-life paintings. Meanwhile, their seven-year-old son, Sam, falls victim to peculiar fits and visions.Townsfolk suspect that the Tullians are succumbing to the legacy of madness and murder that overwhelmed the house's previous tenants, but James fears that his loved ones may be manifesting psychopathologies that predate their move and that now have found the perfect place to vent themselves. Maginn sifts the novel's truth from its mystery like an expert archeologist, meticulously exposing deeper and darker strata that underlie even the most innocent events.Oscillating between the bleak thoughts of his emotionally tortured characters and the stark, moody Welsh landscape, he creates a thick atmosphere of dread that forces the weight of the past inexorably down on the present, yet never impedes the brisk momentum of the tale. This is the rare example of a novel of subtle horror that should appeal to lovers of the fast-paced modern horror thriller.",174

Il genio e il golem,Helene Wecker,4.13,Fantasy,"First published April 13, 2013","È un giorno del 1899 quando Otto Rotfield si inoltra nel folto del bosco di Konin, un paesino a sud di Danzica, e varca la soglia della catapecchia di Yehudah Schaalman. Rabbino dall’oscura fama – a Konin si sussurra che sia stato posseduto da un dybbuq, uno spirito maligno che gli avrebbe conferito poteri soprannaturali –, Schaalman è solito ricevere nel cuore della notte la visita di ragazze di campagna alla ricerca di filtri d’amore o di donne sterili che, grazie alle sue arti cabalistiche, restano incinte poco tempo dopo.Figlio di un fabbricante di mobili, trentenne così inetto e arrogante che in meno di cinque anni ha mandato in rovina l’azienda di famiglia, Rotfield non è a caccia di incantesimi o magiche pozioni. Vuole da Schaalman molto di più: un golem che passi per umano, un golem- femmina che gli faccia da moglie docile e ubbidiente e lo accompagni verso la nuova terra promessa: l’America.Disposto, in cambio di denaro, a offrire ogni sorta di servigi, Schaalman si cimenta nel compito e crea dall’argilla una splendida golem, pronta a seguire e proteggere il suo padrone e, insieme, a scatenare la sua potente forza distruttiva.Rotfield si imbarca con la sua creatura sul Baltika, il piroscafo addetto alla rotta Danzica- New York, ma, subito dopo averle dato vita con la formula trascrittagli dal rabbino, per un malore a lungo trascurato muore. Sola, la golem sbarca a New York e si aggira, stordita e totalmente alla deriva, per le strade rumorose della metropoli della fine del XIX secolo.Non lontano da lei, nella zona di Lower Manhattan chiamata Little Syria, Butros Arbeely, uno stagnino cattolico maronita, è alacremente al lavoro nella sua officina in cui fabbrica o rappezza tazze e piatti, pentole e padelle, ditali e candelabri.È alle prese con un vecchio fiasco di rame malconcio appartenuto da tempo immemorabile a una famiglia siriana, quando viene attraversato da una scossa potentissima e spinto via lontano dal suo tavolo di lavoro. Il tempo di riprendersi e riaprire gli occhi che scorge davanti a sé un uomo nudo, dai tratti del volto di una perfezione inquietante, i capelli scurissimi e un bracciale di metallo al polso destro: un genio, da lui accidentalmente liberato, uno di quei genii potenti e intelligenti, la cui forma reale, inconsistente come un soffio d’aria e invisibile all’occhio umano, può radunare i venti del deserto e cavalcarli, e assumere le sembianze di qualsiasi essere vivente…Romanzo che, attraverso lo sguardo di due affascinanti figure della mitologia araba ed ebraica, illumina la New York di inizio Novecento, città di immigrati e di grandi trasformazioni sociali, di culture che si mescolano e grandi solitudini, di millenarie conoscenze e avveniristiche innovazioni, Il genio è il golem è uno dei romanzi più attesi dell’ultima stagione letteraria americana.","127,007"
Travels in the Scriptorium,Paul Auster,3.26,Fiction,"First published December 1, 2006","A man pieces together clues to his past--and the identity of his captors--in this fantastic, labyrinthine novel

An old man awakens, disoriented, in an unfamiliar chamber. With no memory of who he is or how he has arrived there, he pores over the relics on the desk, examining the circumstances of his confinement and searching his own hazy mind for clues.
Determining that he is locked in, the man--identified only as Mr. Blank--begins reading a manuscript he finds on the desk, the story of another prisoner, set in an alternate world the man doesn't recognize. Nevertheless, the pages seem to have been left for him, along with a haunting set of photographs. As the day passes, various characters call on the man in his cell--vaguely familiar people, some who seem to resent him for crimes he can't remember--and each brings frustrating hints of his identity and his past. All the while an overhead camera clicks and clicks, recording his movements, and a microphone records every sound in the room. Someone is watching.
Both chilling and poignant, Travels in the Scriptorium is vintage Auster: mysterious texts, fluid identities, a hidden past, and, somewhere, an obscure tormentor. And yet, as we discover during one day in the life of Mr. Blank, his world is not so different from our own.","10,900"

Tony Wainwright, who has paid his dues for a past crime and appears to have turned his life around, is catapulted to the top of the list of suspects. PI Ross Pocino is on the scene with his surprising insights into criminal behavior, and Paige Toddman's mother, Helen, seems to grow younger every day. While some mothers can unintentionally do unspeakable harm to their children, Ashleigh's steel-magnolia efforts to wrest her daughter from her captor redeem the sacredness of that role.(less)",55
"Chiesa povera, non impoverita. Papa Francesco e i rischi del pauperismo",Francesco Cupello,5.0,,"First published November 1, 2013","Si è parlato di papa Francesco come di un ciclone. A chi non viene in mente però che un ciclone è un evento metereologico piuttosto violento, che può seminare morte e distruzione? Non sembrerebbe quindi il miglior appellativo per un papa. Questo libro si propone di mettere in evidenza che la Chiesa può essere povera senza impoverirsi, perché il rischio di un pauperismo a buon mercato è di mortificare gravemente la bellezza, che è l’unica ricchezza dei poveri. Sono tutte condivisibili le scelte di Papa Francesco? È questa la domanda che ricorre in tutto il libro, pur con tutto il rispetto e la venerazione verso il Santo Padre, le cui buone intenzioni e la cui buona fede sono comunque fuori discussione.

"To love, no right to die",Anatoliy Obraztsov,4.74,Fiction,,"“Something like that has already happened to me” – everyone has this thought at least one time in their life. Especially when they are in difficult life situations, because these are the moments when people ask themselves: “Why me? What have I done wrong?” If the same situation in your life is recurring – it means that there weren’t previous mistakes. Adult people use 3 ways to find the source of their problems. 1. Discuss a problem with a friend to find the reason. It’s the most common and unreliable way. 2. Discuss a problem with a psychologist. Eventually to see and to admit your mistakes, consciously choose another behavior in the same situation. 3. To abstract from a problem and to try to look at it from a different side. The third way we use when we aren’t ready to discuss ours problems with anybody, even with friends. Usually people change conditions, go on vacations or travel. But sometimes, you can look at your life being at home. It’s possible, if you use archetypes – they symbolize the main problems of people. Agree that everybody has almost the same problems and we can systemize them in different areas: love, relationships, money, job, sex, vocation, pleasure, responsibility, acceptance, belief, affection etc. Symbolically, like images, these and others areas of life were reflected in tarot cards. During all this time they were used to get insight (inner illumination). The insight is an understanding of the origin of the situation. In the 20th century, when actually both psychology and psychotherapy were born, were the attempts to explain the phenomena of tarot cards. Jung has done it. There are you can find the cards of Jung. Subsequently, a lot of psychologists and scientists gave highly interesting interpretation of the cards and offer a technology to work with. But nobody wrote books how to pass the arcane of tarot cards in their life, and how to find mistakes and reach the next level.

Poesie complete,Sergio Solmi,4.67,,"First published January 1, 1974","Quasi cinquant’anni di versi sono raccolti in queste Poesie complete di Sergio Solmi: dalle liriche di Fine di stagione (1924) al volume delle Poesie (1950), alla raccolta Dal balcone (1968) alle poesie inedite recenti. Il lettore avrà così davanti agli occhi tutto il percorso, fino a oggi, di un’opera in certo modo sconcertante per la sua unità di tono, per la coerenza delle sue inclinazioni e dei suoi rifiuti, per la solitaria autonomia che sempre l’hanno contraddistinta. Natura di rêveur nella più alta accezione romantica del termine, Solmi sembra aver scelto fin dall’inizio un paradossale classicismo in equilibrio sul vuoto – essendo ormai sprofondati i grandi canoni che lo reggevano – sotto la tutela della «cara ombra» di Leopardi e insieme di alcuni grandi maestri del moderno, quali Rimbaud, Mallarmé, Valéry. E grazie a questa scelta, la cui singolarità restò forzatamente mimetizzata durante il periodo ‘rondista’, egli è riuscito col tempo ad assorbire in ugual modo, nella misura del suo verso, i mondi del fantastico selvaggio (di cui è emblema, nella splendida Levania, una fantomatica reincarnazione lunare del poeta) e della quotidianità più dura (si pensi alle esperienze di carcere del Quaderno di Mario Rossetti). Seguendo le più ambigue linee di confine fra le apparenze, abbandonandosi senza contrarsi al «vento improvviso» che muove, talvolta, la vita, ascoltando i desideri «anonimi e diffusi come foglie», questa poesia ha trovato un timbro, una malinconica lucidità davanti a una persistente angoscia, una fluidezza nel disegno, ha scoperto infine un parlare sommesso, per dire cose essenziali, che emergono dalla «buca d’ombra» per sostare un attimo alla luce in parole diafane.",3
Tip and the Gipper: When Politics Worked,Chris Matthews,3.92,Politics,"First published October 1, 2013","The New York Times bestseller about the historic dealings between Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neill—“A superb tribute to the neglected art of compromise” (Daily News (New York)).Tip and the Gipper is an “entertaining and insightful” (The Wall Street Journal) history of a time when two great political opponents served together for the benefit of the country. Chris Matthews was an eyewitness to this story as top aide to Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill, who waged a principled war of political ideals with President Ronald Reagan from 1980 to 1986. Together, the two men became one of history’s most celebrated political pairings—the epitome of how ideological opposites can get things done. When Reagan was elected to the presidency in a landslide victory over Jimmy Carter, Speaker O’Neill was thrust into the national spotlight as the highest-ranking leader of the Democratic Party—the most visible and respected challenger to President Reagan’s agenda of cutting the size of government programs and lowering tax rates. Together, the two leaders fought over the major issues of the day—welfare, taxes, covert military operations, and social security—but found their way to agreements that reformed taxes, saved Social Security, and, their common cause, set a course toward peace in Northern Ireland. Through it all they maintained respect for each other’s positions and worked to advance the country rather than obstruct progress. At the time of congressional gridlock, Tip and the Gipper stands as model behavior worthy of study by journalists, academics, and students of the political process for years to come. “This book is an invitation to join Tip and the Gipper in tall tales about how grand it was in the old country” (The Washington Post).",932

Il libro dei sogni,Artemidorus,3.81,Psychology,"First published January 1, 100","«Un tale sognò di vedere nella luna il proprio volto... Un tale sognò di imboccare il proprio membro con pane e formaggio, come se fosse un animale... Un tale sognò di scuoiare il proprio figlio e di farne un otre... Una donna sognò di avere un occhio nella mammella destra... Un tale sognò che dal cielo cadesse una stella, e che un’altra salisse in cielo dalla terra... Un tale sognò di mangiare i propri escrementi insieme al pane, e di gustarli». Il significato di questi e di centinaia di altri sogni ci viene illustrato nell’opera di Artemidoro, vera enciclopedia teorica e pratica del sogno, scritta nel II secolo dopo Cristo, compendio di tutta l’antica e complessa tradizione greca su questo tema, che nel mondo moderno è stato posto, dopo Freud, al centro di tutta la psicologia e si è rivelato una fonte inesauribile di conoscenze e di misteri. Artemidoro era un interprete di sogni per professione e la sua ambizione era di scrivere un manuale definitivo della sua scienza: con diligenza e minuzia, utilizzando tutta la letteratura precedente, oggi in gran parte perduta, e insieme la sua diretta esperienza, Artemidoro classifica tutti i tipi di sogni e i procedimenti che vi operano, elenca le più disparate immagini che vi possono comparire e ne svela i vari sensi. Il risultato è sorprendente: dietro le sue interpretazioni, spesso asciutte e prosaiche, si profila tutto un diverso regime dell’immagine, che getta luce preziosa su quella che era la coscienza psicologica greca. Naturalmente il lettore moderno non potrà resistere alla tentazione di confrontare le interpretazioni di Artemidoro con quelle della psicoanalisi. E anche qui la lettura sarà quanto mai eccitante: proprio nella totale diversità dei presupposti, certe indicazioni sembrano convergere e integrarsi, a riprova che le immagini oniriche costituiscono una realtà che nessun sistema culturale riesce compiutamente a ridurre al proprio codice. Infine, Il libro dei sogni potrà essere consultato direttamente dai suoi lettori di oggi, come Artemidoro voleva: e da questa via inusuale impareremo a conoscere qualcosa di più di quelle misteriose, ambigue figure che escono, secondo le parole di Omero, da due porte, una di corno e l’altra di avorio: «E ai sogni che escono attraverso la porta d’avorio è pericoloso credere, perché portano messaggi che non si realizzano nei fatti, mentre quelli che procedono per la porta di corno hanno potere nella realtà, ogni volta che un uomo li veda». Ma anche sotto un altro aspetto l’opera di Artemidoro è per noi oggi preziosa: come testimonianza vividissima sulla vita quotidiana e i rapporti sociali nella Grecia dell’antichità, i cui usi e costumi ci appaiono limpidamente riflessi nello specchio dei sogni. La presente edizione è dovuta a Dario Del Corno, uno dei più attenti studiosi dell’onirocritica greca, ed è accompagnata da un suo lungo saggio, che ripercorre tutta la storia del sogno nella Grecia antica e analizza i sottili rapporti di Artemidoro con una tradizione che era insieme religiosa, filosofica e popolare.",86

Viagem ao Fim da Noite,Louis-Ferdinand Céline,4.19,Fiction,"First published January 1, 1932","Louis-Ferdinand Celine's revulsion and anger at what he considered the idiocy and hypocrisy of society explodes from nearly every page of this novel. Filled with slang and obscenities and written in raw, colloquial language, Journey to the End of the Night is a literary symphony of violence, cruelty and obscene nihilism. This book shocked most critics when it was first published in France in 1932, but quickly became a success with the reading public in Europe, and later in America where it was first published by New Directions in 1952. The story of the improbable yet convincingly described travels of the petit-bourgeois (and largely autobiographical) antihero, Bardamu, from the trenches of World War I, to the African jungle, to New York and Detroit, and finally to life as a failed doctor in Paris, takes the readers by the scruff and hurtles them toward the novel's inevitable, sad conclusion.","44,191"
"The Experience of God: Being, Consciousness, Bliss",David Bentley Hart,4.25,Philosophy,"First published January 1, 2013","Despite the recent ferocious public debate about belief, the concept most central to the discussion—God—frequently remains vaguely and obscurely described. Are those engaged in these arguments even talking about the same thing? In a wide-ranging response to this confusion, esteemed scholar David Bentley Hart pursues a clarification of how the word “God” functions in the world’s great theistic faiths.Ranging broadly across Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Vedantic and Bhaktic Hinduism, Sikhism, and Buddhism, Hart explores how these great intellectual traditions treat humanity’s knowledge of the divine mysteries. Constructing his argument around three principal metaphysical “moments”—being, consciousness, and bliss—the author demonstrates an essential continuity between our fundamental experience of reality and the ultimate reality to which that experience inevitably points.Thoroughly dismissing such blatant misconceptions as the deists' concept of God, as well as the fundamentalist view of the Bible as an objective historical record, Hart provides a welcome antidote to simplistic manifestoes. In doing so, he plumbs the depths of humanity’s experience of the world as powerful evidence for the reality of God and captures the beauty and poetry of traditional reflection upon the divine.","1,477"

Vidas y opiniones de los filósofos ilustres,Diogenes Laertius,4.12,Philosophy,"First published January 1, 250","Testimonio insustituible sobre la tradición de las escuelas filosóficas griegas al ser el único compendio de este tipo que ha llegado hasta nosotros, las Vidas y opiniones de los filósofos más ilustres , obra compuesta en la primera mitad del siglo III por Diógenes Laercio, fue desde principios del siglo XIX objeto de reproches, sobre todo por parte de los filósofos, que no encontraban en ella la historia de la filosofía antigua que habrían querido encontrar. Sin embargo, llevado por aficiones más filológicas que filosóficas, su autor -como aclara en su introducción Carlos García Gual, responsable de esta primera traducción íntegra de la obra desde la que hiciera Ortiz y Sanz en 1792- sólo pretendió registrar para la posteridad el espléndido legado sapiencial de los ilustres filósofos griegos, tarea que llevó a cabo en un texto que resulta uno de los más atractivos del legado helénico por su información minuciosa y su amenidad.",669

Fathers and Sons,Ivan Turgenev,3.99,Classics,"First published February 1, 1862","Bazarov—a gifted, impatient, and caustic young man—has journeyed from school to the home of his friend Arkady Kirsanov. But soon Bazarov’s outspoken rejection of authority and social conventions touches off quarrels, misunderstandings, and romantic entanglements that will utterly transform the Kirsanov household and reflect the changes taking place across all of nineteenth-century Russia.Fathers and Sons enraged the old and the young, reactionaries, romantics, and radicals alike when it was first published. At the same time, Turgenev won the acclaim of Flaubert, Maupassant, and Henry James for his craftsmanship as a writer and his psychological insight. Fathers and Sons is now considered one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century.A timeless depiction of generational conflict during social upheaval, it vividly portrays the clash between the older Russian aristocracy and the youthful radicalism that foreshadowed the revolution to come—and offers modern-day readers much to reflect upon as they look around at their own tumultuous, ever changing world.","93,560"
The Anatomy of Liverpool: A History in Ten Matches,Jonathan  Wilson,4.15,Football,"First published November 13, 2013","Much of the acres of football news coverage these days has little to do with what actually occurs on the pitch. Jonathan Wilson has established himself as one of the sport's pre-eminent writers, focusing on the tactics (with the award-winning Inverting the Pyramid) and how events on the pitch have shaped football history (The Anatomy of England). His new book is a compellingly forensic analysis of ten key Liverpool matches that have shaped the club's fortunes for more than a century - from the long-lost triumphs of manager Tom Watson, who arrived in 1896, to the 1977 European Cup triumph over Borussia Mönchengladbach, to the astonishing Champions League Final comeback against AC Milan, 'The Miracle of Istanbul', in 2005. Legendary players and managers of the stature of Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley and Kenny Dalglish populate these pages, which highlight the genius and the flaws of individuals by examining them in practice.Certain games lie on the fault-lines of history. Perhaps they mark the end of one era or the beginning of another. Perhaps they encapsulate a summation of a manager's reign. Or perhaps they mark a crossroads, moments at which football looked one way, and then went the other. But this is not a virtual history of Liverpool FC. Jonathan Wilson's prime purpose is not to speculate on what might have been. Rather it will try to determine why what was, was. No game is won or lost, after all, in a single moment but by a million little things.The Anatomy of Liverpool tells the story of a great club through a detailed examination of ten key matches looking, as a football history must, first and foremost at the football.",227

Thank You for Your Service,David Finkel,4.13,Nonfiction,"First published January 1, 2013","The wars of the past decade have been covered by brave and talented reporters, but none has reckoned with the psychology of these wars as intimately as the award-winning journalist David Finkel. For The Good Soldiers, his bestselling account from the front lines of Baghdad, Finkel embedded with the men of the 2-16 Infantry Battalion during the infamous ""surge,"" a grueling fifteen-month tour that changed them all forever. In Finkel's hands, readers could feel what these young men were experiencing, and his harrowing story instantly became a classic in the literature of modern war.In Thank You for Your Service, Finkel has done something even more extraordinary. Once again, he has embedded with some of the men of the 2-16—but this time he has done it at home, here in the States, after their deployments have ended. He is with them in their most intimate, painful, and hopeful moments as they try to recover, and in doing so, he creates an indelible, essential portrait of what life after war is like—not just for these soldiers, but for their wives, widows, children, and friends, and for the professionals who are truly trying, and to a great degree failing, to undo the damage that has been done.The story Finkel tells is mesmerizing, impossible to put down. With his unparalleled ability to report a story, he climbs into the hearts and minds of those he writes about.

Mal te perdonarán a ti las horas,Saúl Roll-Vélez,4.75,,"First published August 1, 2013","Esta novela, madura en su escritura y bien concebida en la trama, recrea un entorno anárquico y aparentemente absurdo de los años noventa: en una ciudad de incesante primavera y rodeada de montañas, Sebastián de la Torre hace un esfuerzo por reconstruir los detalles de los días que fueron aniquilando el sentido de su mundo y el de sus amigos y conocidos. Envuelto en una caótica maraña de recuerdos, intenta organizarlos de una manera lógica, hilvanándolos con hechos pasados que de algún modo desembocan en su presente. Fuerzas ignotas, incontrolables, parecen anular todos los futuros; es necesario entonces comprender, si no las causas, por lo menos las consecuencias de ese abrupto cambio que ha alterado tantas vidas. Quizás así pueda hallar alguna respuesta, o incluso la libertad que parece haber perdido. En estas páginas se percibe un gozo narrativo no solo en los extensos párrafos en donde la palabra se explaya y parece adueñarse de la acción, sino también mediante las digresiones, los saltos temporales e incluso el desorden en la enumeración de los capítulos. El arte y el placer actúan como paréntesis para enfatizar el sentido humano de la vida y discrepan con el absurdo y la violencia; las reflexiones existenciales se mezclan con sensaciones cotidianas, con las conversaciones entre amigos, con el cine y las visitas al café y rompen el tono trascendental.

Πράγματι, ο Αϊνστάιν ήταν ένας πολίτης του κόσμου που άλλαξε το πνευματικό τοπίο του εικοστού αιώνα, όχι μόνο με τη θεωρία της σχετικότητας (1905), αλλά και με τη διατύπωση των βασικών νόμων που διέπουν το σύμπαν.Ο Αϊνστάιν είναι μια αρχετυπική μορφή της εποχής μας, το πιο χαρακτηριστικό και μαζί απρόσμενο πρόσωπο των θετικών επιστημών και της φιλοσοφίας.

The Columbine Effect: How five teen pastimes got caught in the crossfire and why teens are taking them back,Beth Winegarner,4.0,Nonfiction,"First published November 24, 2013","Columbine High School shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold weren't goth kids who played more Doom than their classmates. But after news outlets reported they were, teen goths and gamers felt the backlash for years. As police and journalists have rushed to explain other unthinkable massacres, heavy metal music, paganism, Satanism, occult practices and role-playing games have unfairly gotten caught in the crossfire.

París era una fiesta,Ernest Hemingway,4.02,Nonfiction,"First published January 1, 1964","Begun in the autumn of 1957 and published posthumously in 1964, Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast captures what it meant to be young and poor and writing in Paris during the 1920s. A correspondent for the Toronto Star, Hemingway arrived in Paris in 1921, three years after the trauma of the Great War and at the beginning of the transformation of Europe's cultural landscape: Braque and Picasso were experimenting with cubist form; James Joyce, long living in self-imposed exile from his native Dublin, had just completed Ulysses; Gertrude Stein held court at 27 Rue de Fleurus, and deemed young Ernest a member of une gneration perdue; and T.S. Eliot was a bank clerk in London. It was during these years that the as-of-yet unpublished young writer gathered the material for his first novel The Sun Also Rises, and the subsequent masterpieces that followed.Among these small, reflective sketches are unforgettable encounters with the members of Hemingway's slightly rag-tag circle of artists and writers, some also fated to achieve fame and glory, others to fall into obscurity. Here, too, is an evocation of the Paris that Hemingway knew as a young man - a map drawn in his distinct prose of the streets and cafes and bookshops that comprised the city in which he, as a young writer, sometimes struggling against the cold and hunger of near poverty, honed the skills of his craft.A Moveable Feast is at once an elegy to the remarkable group for expatriates that gathered in Paris during the twenties and a testament to the risks and rewards of the writerly life.","156,943"

Trials and Triumphs: A History of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ,Paul R. Fetters,3.67,,"First published January 1, 1984","The Church of the United Brethren in Christ has the distinction of being the first American born denomination. Its history has both Trials and Triumphs. The roots of the United Brethren reach back into German pietism which was preached in America by Philip William Otterbein. This pietism of a ""here and now"" assurance of salvation and the insistence on personal piety preached in the churches and protracted evangelistic meetings met opposition in colonial times (1726-1800). The emerging church struggled with selecting a name, drafting a Confession of Faith, writing a Discipline, and adopting a Constitution (1800-1841). Reflecting the national crises of wars within and without, the church found some of the social and moral discords of temperance, slavery, and secrecy insurmountable (1841-1889). Division leaves one with mixed emotions especially when men feel satisfied that their consciences have led them to this end of heavy hearts and awesome burdens. In its unsettled state the church was blessed to have a preserver with the temperament of Milton Wright (1889-1929). Change in context and culture spell conflict for a church -- the more rapid the change the more serious the challenge and possible collision. Ecclesiastical developments have no spectators whether it be the modernist-fundamentalist controversy; the merger of main line denomination; the mulltiplication of parachurch structure outside the walls of the church; or a challenge to the existence of the church within the four walls (1929-1981).",3

A Glock to John is like a bag of candy to a child, so very precious. A gun is the greatest thing on the planet and he has a better relationship with his weapons than he does with most people.This hitman is out to kill a hundred and one cops BUT-- A trip to Hawaii is where he encounters Aineki, a woman who claims to be able to talk to the dead and for whatever reason she’s determined to pursue him. John is immediately fascinated by her. She is forward and bold and as cute as they come. A woman that’s definitely not afraid to go after what she wants, so much so that he thinks she might be up to something sinister. Why would such a beautiful woman be interested in a troll like him? He’s certain that she must have an ulterior motive but he can’t figure it. It’s a puzzle with so many distorted pieces that he can’t guess at it and maybe it’s what fascinates him about her.Will Aineki change John?Aineki is psychic and talks to dead people. She's been searching for the one that would bring one special baby into the world and now that's she's found him she's not about to let him go, but the evil spirits have other ideas.Put copy here to support the headline above it.Scroll up and grab a copy today.“Definitely a must read.” Joseph Markee",1

It is number XVI of the Columbia Biological Series, edited at Columbia University by Leslie C. Dunn, et al. Stebbins was both a botanist and geneticist. This is his most important work. ""Variation and Evolution in Plants"" formed the botanical cornerstone of the ""modern synthesis"" that demonstrated how Mendelian genetics was consistent with natural selection and gradual evolution. A second issue of the 'modern synthesis' was whether the broad-scale changes (macroevolution) seen by palaeontologists could be explained by small changes seen in extant local populations (microevolution). The modern synthesis is still, to a large extent, the current paradigm in evolutionary biology. Researchers contributing to the modern synthesis are R. A. Fisher, Theodosius Dobzhansky, J. B. S.

Just Listen: Discover the Secret to Getting Through to Absolutely Anyone,Mark Goulston,4.06,Communication,"First published September 1, 2009","Foreword by Keith Ferrazzi, author of Never Eat Alone and Who’s Got Your Back? The first make-or-break step in persuading anyone to do any thing is getting them to hear you out. Whether the person is a harried colleague, a stressed-out client, or an insecure spouse, things will go from bad to worse if you can’t break through emotional barricades. Drawing on his experience as a psychiatrist, business con sultant, and coach, and backed by the latest scientific research, author Mark Goulston shares simple but powerful techniques readers can use to really get through to people—whether they’re coworkers, friends, strangers, or enemies. Just Listen reveals how to: • Make a powerful and positive first impression • Listen effectively • Make even a total stranger—a potential client, perhaps—feel “felt” • Talk an angry or aggressive person away from an instinctual, unproductive reaction and toward a more rational mindset • Achieve buy-in, the linchpin of all persuasion, negotiation, sales, and more Getting through is a fine art but a critical one. With the help of this groundbreaking book readers will be able to turn the “impossible” and “unreachable” people in their lives into allies, devoted customers, loyal colleagues, and lifetime friends.","9,388"
Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent,Harvey A. Silverglate,3.75,Politics,"First published September 1, 2009","The average professional in this country wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes home, eats dinner, and then goes to sleep, unaware that he or she has likely committed several federal crimes that day. Why? The answer lies in the very nature of modern federal criminal laws, which have exploded in number but also become impossibly broad and vague. In Three Felonies a Day, Harvey A. Silverglate reveals how federal criminal laws have become dangerously disconnected from the English common law tradition and how prosecutors can pin arguable federal crimes on any one of us, for even the most seemingly innocuous behavior. The volume of federal crimes in recent decades has increased well beyond the statute books and into the morass of the Code of Federal Regulations, handing federal prosecutors an additional trove of vague and exceedingly complex and technical prohibitions to stick on their hapless targets. The dangers spelled out in Three Felonies a Day do not apply solely to ""white collar criminals,"" state and local politicians, and professionals. No social class or profession is safe from this troubling form of social control by the executive branch, and nothing less than the integrity of our constitutional democracy hangs in the balance.",689
El astillero,Juan Carlos Onetti,3.78,Fiction,"First published January 1, 1961","En El astillero alcanzan su madurez, el resplandor más compacto de la derrota, dos invenciones notables de Onetti: el fugaz antihéroe Larsen y la imperecedera, pero nunca nueva, ciudad de Santa María; esa ciudad portuaria que lo mismo podría ser el fantasma de Montevideo o de Buenos Aires, que está cerca de la ciudad argentina de rosario pero no pertenece a país alguno. Otra vez, frente a este proxeneta con rasgos místicos -Larsen-, canalla con tanto de hundido como de salvado; frente a esta ciudad inexistente en la realidad pero verdadera, de ficción pero no de juguete, podemos caer en la tentación de felicitar a Onetti por presentar un pedazo descarnado de latinoamérica, sin exotismo ni prodigios, sin utilizar la impotencia y la erosión para exportar como un folclore alegre y vendible. Pero cualquier habitante de Europa del Este, de los años 30 o de los posteriores a la segunda guerra, podría encontrar en esta ciudad catastrófica tantos factores en común como un latinoamericano o un norteamericano de una desolada ciudad del sur. La ambición de Larsen por conquistar a una débil mental -o loca- recuerda la novela serial de Isaac B. Singer, Shosha, ambientada a fines de los 30 en Polonia, y en juntacadáveres Larsen tiene más de un punto de contacto con el proxeneta polaco Max que protagoniza la novela de Singer Escoria. No son los continentes ni las épocas, ni las ideas políticas, las que unen los libros o forman generaciones literarias, sino un efluvio inmaterial constituido de reflejos deformados del alma humana, que inquieta a los lectores de cualquier tiempo y lugar.","2,117"

Six months after he was wrongly made a suspect in his parents' ponzi scheme, he's settled down with his older boyfriend, Derek, and is working and attending school. But his happiness is threatened when his mother launches a Christmastime PR campaign to help appeal her prison sentence, and asks introverted Lane to be part of it.  Derek Fields has his hands full taking Santa photos, bird-sitting his sister's foul-mouthed macaw, and helping Lane prepare for a television interview neither of them wants him to do. As he eases Lane through his anxiety, he worries that Lane sees him as a caretaker rather than a boyfriend, and that their age difference really does matter. He and Lane compensate for the stress in their lives by taking their D/s relationship to new levels--a relationship that Lane's mother insists he should be ashamed of.  As Christmas draws nearer, the pressure builds. Pushy elves. Snarky subs. A bad fight. A parrot in peril.

At the very least, she had to make sure that Gina Robinson did her Ghanaian duty in marrying Nick Da Canaveze, even if Belinda had to get on a plane, pay excess baggage and suffer the heat for it. There would be no time for sightseeing, lounging around infinity pools and definitely no time for flirting with anyone. Especially not The Big Man, who was as troublesome as his son. The twinkle in Massimo Da Canaveze’s eyes told her that he was more than just trouble. He was a huge, fat God-like sign of what was missing from her life. Of just how glorious life could be with someone like him in it... But a man like him would never give her a side glance. It was fine. The wedding celebrations would last all of four days and she’d be off home. No looking. No touching. No flirting. None of that was good for her or her ego.Massimo Da Canaveze is not enjoying his status as widower. He’s lonely. Feeling that way had become a way of life and his son’s wedding at his 800 year old family villa would hopefully put that to a stop. He would be surrounded by people he loved. What he didn’t expect was the shrill voiced, authoritative, all commanding, arresting personality that was Belinda Afriyie to blaze through Italy in figure hugging, traditional African dresses and floaty kaftans that left little to the imagination. There hadn’t been an ample bosomed challenge like her to cross his path since his late wife. With a little music, a little sunshine, more than a bit of whiskey, he and Belinda were going to become very good friends.Four Italian named puppet masters sit on the sideline of this play, throwing pizza pies to hit two half-centenarians in the eye. The Da Canaveze family is about to add to their growing number and no one is more shocked about it, than the puppets…",248

Cantos de vida y esperanza,Rubén Darío,3.95,Poetry,"First published January 1, 1905","Renowned for its depth of feeling and musicality, the poetry of Rubén Darío (1867–1916) has been revered by writers including Federico García Lorca, Pablo Neruda, and Octavio Paz. A leading figure in the movement known as modernismo, Darío created the modern Spanish lyric and permanently altered the course of Spanish poetry. Yet while his output has inspired a great deal of critical analysis and a scattering of translations, there has been, until now, no complete English translation of any of his books of poetry. This bilingual edition of Darío’s 1905 masterpiece, Cantos de vida y esperanza, fills a crucial gap in Hispanic and world literature studies. Will Derusha and Alberto Acereda have provided not only an elegant English translation of Darío’s work but also an authoritative version of the original Spanish text.Written over the course of seven years and in many locales in Latin America and Europe, the poems in Cantos de vida y esperanza reflect both Darío’s anguished sense of modern life and his ecstatic visions of transcendence, freedom, and the transformative power of art. They reveal Darío’s familiarity with Spanish, French, and English literature and the wide range of his concerns—existential, religious, erotic, and socio-political. Derusha and Acereda’s translation renders Darío’s themes with meticulous clarity and captures the structural and acoustic dimensions of the poet’s language in all its rhythmic sonority. Their introduction places this singular poet—arguably the greatest to emerge from Latin America in modern literature—and his best and most widely known work in historical and literary context. An extensive glossary offers additional information, explaining terms related to modernismo, Hispanic history, mythological allusions, and artists and writers prominent at the turn of the last century.",430

The Crimean War,Andrew D. Lambert,3.6,,"First published January 1, 1990","During the Crimean War, for the first time, newspaper correspondents were able to provide the public with eye-witness accounts of the scenes of conflict. This book combines such descriptions from ""The Times"" of London with a discussion of the war, based on historical scholarship. In addition to the famous accounts submitted by William Howard Russell, all areas of the Black Sea theatre are covered, including the Sea of Azov, the Caucasus and Bulgaria, along with other major theatre of war, the Baltic, where the Admiral and Commander-in-Chief sometimes acted as ""Times"" correspondent. This marks a return to the contemporary perception of the war, where the whole conflict was observed, rather than the subsequent concentration on the heroism, incompetence and recovery on the few square miles of the Crimean Uplands that have come to dominate the modern image of the war.",5

Rilke was staying at a castle (Duino) on the sea near Trieste. One morning he walked out on the battlements and climbed down to where the rocks dropped sharply to the sea. From out of the wind, which was blowing with great force, Rilke seemed to hear a voice: Wer, wenn ich schriee, horte mich denn aus der Engel Ordnungen? (If I cried out, who would hear me up there, among the angelic orders?). He wrote these words, the opening of the first Duino Elegy, in his notebook, then went inside to continue what was to be his major work and one of the literary masterpieces of the century.","9,389"

Rakhaing,Lorenzo Esse,5.0,,"First published January 19, 2011","Feeling dissatisfied with his uneventful life in a society based on corporate culture, consumerism and faked happiness, Pablo, a typical Italian family man, is experiencing a mid-life crisis. He needs answers nobody in his circle of friends and relatives is able to provide. Only his best friend Rico, an escapist who had left everything behind years before, to pursue an adventurous and exciting lifestyle in Asia, might be able to help him. His arrival in Bangkok coincides with Rico’s two weeks annual leave, to be spent backpacking in Rakhaing, a Burmese state little visited. Pablo, an inexperienced traveler totally new to off-the-beaten-path Asia, has no choice but to follow him. The journey is filled with odd traveling adventures, erotic exploits and occasional epiphanies. Medieval Rakhaing, vividly described with the eyes of an Asia's ""old hand"", becomes the exotic background for their intimate discussions. Loosened by Burmese rum and marihuana-laced cookies, the two old friends revisit their past and compare their life experiences, beliefs and morals. Pablo, far from being a passive disciple, evaluates and often fiercely debate Rico's answers and his eccentric, yet irrefutable wisdom.The story ends on the aftermath of a final boys' night out in Yangon, where Rico plunges deep into the dark side of the capital’s sleazy nightlife (possibly never described before), trying to break Pablo’s moral compass and free his mind from any Western prejudices.

Giết Con Chim Nhại,Harper Lee,4.26,Fiction,"First published July 11, 1960","Nào, hãy mở cuốn sách này ra. Bạn phải làm quen ngay với bố Atticus của hai anh em - Jem và Scout, ông bố luật sư có một cách riêng, để những đứa trẻ của mình cứng cáp và vững vàng hơn khi đón nhận những bức xúc không sao hiểu nổi trong cuộc sống. Bạn sẽ nhớ rất lâu người đàn ông thích trốn trong nhà Boo Radley, kẻ bị đám đông coi là lập dị đã chọn một cách rất riêng để gửi những món quà nhỏ cho Jem và Scout, và khi chúng lâm nguy, đã đột nhiên xuất hiện để che chở. Và tất nhiên, bạn không thể bỏ qua anh chàng Tom Robinson, kẻ bị kết án tử hình vì tội hãm hiếp một cô gái da trắng, sự thật thà và suy nghĩ quá đỗi đơn giản của anh lại dẫn đến một cái kết hết sức đau lòng, chỉ vì lý do anh là một người da đen.Cho dù được kể dưới góc nhìn của một cô bé, cuốn sách Giết con chim nhại không né tránh bất kỳ vấn đề nào, gai góc hay lớn lao, sâu xa hay phức tạp: nạn phân biệt chủng tộc, những định kiến khắt khe, sự trọng nam khinh nữ… Góc nhìn trẻ thơ là một dấu ấn đậm nét và cũng là đặc sắc trong Giết con chim nhại. Trong sáng, hồn nhiên và đầy cảm xúc, những câu chuyện tưởng như chẳng có gì to tát gieo vào người đọc hạt mầm yêu thương.Gần 50 năm từ ngày đầu ra mắt, Giết con chim nhại, tác phẩm đầu tay và cũng là cuối cùng của nữ nhà văn Mỹ Harper Lee vẫn đầy sức hút với độc giả ở nhiều lứa tuổi. Thông điệp yêu thương trải khắp các chương sách là một trong những lý do khiến Giết con chim nhại giữ sức sống lâu bền của mình trong trái tim độc giả ở nhiều quốc gia, nhiều thế hệ. Những độc giả nhí tìm cho mình các trò nghịch ngợm và cách nhìn dí dỏm về thế giới xung quanh. Người lớn lại tìm ra điều thú vị sâu xa trong tình cha con nhà Atticus, và đặc biệt là tình người trong cuộc sống, như bé Scout quả quyết nói “em nghĩ chỉ có một hạng người. Đó là người”.","6,395,495"

Of these, most notable is the SmartTag, a microchip embedded under the skin between index finger and thumb, housing all manner of personal information such as bank account details, medical history, voter registration and more.This tightly-woven tale follows the lives of several very different people - Tealia, a free-spirited and intelligent photographer battling with conflicting emotions for her ex-lover; Mercer & Viera Scott, a power couple barely holding on to their marriage as the priorities of success and parenthood slowly become skewed between them; impoverished single mother, Naria, content with her reliance on both her current lover and government assistance to make ends meet; and the Holton family, wealthy beyond measure, enjoying carefree days of privilege and luxury.Their status quo, however, is about to be undermined as America reacts violently to the brutal assassination of a highly esteemed female presidential nominee on the evening of the debates. As the entire nation struggles to make sense of the ensuing chaos, fear and distrust ramp up to dizzying heights. The end result is a series of grave consequences that will drastically alter life as they know it, making them all wonder how much of their world is but an illusion.A captivating story that is at once gripping and dark, this brilliantly painted picture of a dystopian America cautions against the power of technology and the folly of taking anything for granted. Haunting and lyrical, No Greater Illusion is an astounding debut novel with a powerful message that lingers long after the final page is read.",13

This is the 2nd edition of the title. These stories comprise a world revolving around the relationship between man and woman. What keeps the reader glued to the stories is the writer’s way of rendering the ‘normal’ day-to-day incidents with unconventional metaphors and images, leaving the reader overwhelmed. The characters and situations evolving out of these incidents, however, do not turn these stories into mere escapist fantasies, but pull the reader towards themselves, painting a live picture of all the characters—creating a sense of déjà-vu.The stories do not seek perfection in human lives by passing judgments of any kind, but encompass the complexity of the minutest of human emotions, weaving a melancholic but realistic face of life. The protagonists, often caught in a web of life—in the strands of love, lust and emotions, keep going to-and-fro, tossing like a boat on the waves of their physical and sentimental world.The stories run in a style which is poetic in narration, carrying the knowledge that rises after experiencing the adversities of life. This not only compels the reader to read the stories uninterrupted on his computer’s screen, but also hold the writer accountable for hypnotizing him with his words.About the Author :Kishore Choudhary is a writer and Radio Broadcaster from Barmer (Rajasthan). He may be living in a far-off place like Barmer (Rajasthan), but he has followers not only within the country, but also abroad. Through his two blogs, he has reached far and wide,Kishore is a classic example of what on online media can do as a tool of communication, when you are practically sitting in the farthest end of the country, with no access to literary festivals and the likes. Kishore has created his fan following base purely out of his blog and he now has wide reader base coming to his blog from all across the globe.  With simple yet unique metaphors drawn from the culture and place he belongs, Kishore writes about feelings that are universal - love, pain, loss, fear, loneliness, companionship, hope and fantasy. His stories are that of longingness, of relationships gone awry, of heartbreaks and betrayals, and yet there is a sense of hope and life that continues to flow.  Most of the readers and followers that he has are from far-flung places and Tier II cities, who would want to read him but wouldn't know how to. Not only that, he has a wide listener base also, which is awaiting his work to be published. Kishore's columns in local newspapers of Rajasthan are immensely popular, and he is a known name in the literary circles. If his collection of short stories are available online, it is sure to find to many takers from across the Hindi hinterland. The number of followers on Facebook and the two blogs that he has stand testimony to that.",46

No es cierto que a la relación amorosa no haya que ponerle condiciones. No es cierto que el amor y el deseo vayan siempre de la mano.

Así, este ""lado B del amor"" cuestiona esos lugares comunes que atraviesan el decir cotidiano y que, más de una vez, nos hacen tomar decisiones equivocadas que nos precipitan hacia la angustia, el dolor y la desilusión.Sin embargo, lejos de una postura cínica o sombría, la siempre lúcida y aguda mirada del autor de Historias de Diván arroja luz y hace de Encuentros -fruto de un ida y vuelta, cara a cara, entre el autor y sus lectores- un material indispensable para entender que, a pesar de sus asperezas, el amor es, sin lugar a dudas, el motor más importante de la vida.","2,538"

The Fatal Impact,Alan Moorehead,3.99,History,"First published January 1, 1966","The Fatal Impact tells of Captain Cook's voyages around the southern oceans, exposing the trail of devastation that he, his crew & those who followed left in their wake. It is one of the most depressing yet important books of the last decades. Cook hove into Matavai Bay on Tahiti's north coast in 4/1769. Altho the crew of the Endeavour had been given a clean bill of health by the ship's doctor a month before, within weeks of going ashore a 3rd of the men had been struck by venereal disease, an affliction that must have been passed to the islanders either by the crew of the Dolphin in 1767, or La Boudeause in 1768. Whether by England, France or both, the infection of Tahiti had begun. By the 1820s European diseases, weapons, alcohol & internal conflicts aroused by the culture shock of 1st contact had reduced the native population from 40 to 9000, & the previously uninhibited, often joyous lifestyle of the islanders had been eradicated by Xianity. The corrosive effect of European missionaries on Tahitian culture prompted Gauguin to write, centuries later: 'The natives, having nothing, nothing at all to do, think of only one thing, drinking...Many things that are strange & picturesque existed here once, but there are no traces of them left today; everything has vanished'. Australian aborigines fared little better in the years after Cook arrived in 1770. It wasn't long before the news reached England & the 1st ships of convicts set out for Botany Bay. From here the story, at least in outline, is well known: driven from their land, persecuted & murdered by successive waves of European invaders, the aboriginal population has declined to a scattered 250,000 amongst 18 million immigrants. Obscenely, the survivors still await an apology. Between 1772-75, Cook went on to circumnavigate Antarctica. His account of this voyage revealed the staggering wealth of wildlife in the area. From Le Havre, Hull & Nantucket the sealers & whalers duly set out. For Antarctic mammals it was to be a holocaust. So many were slaughtered that by the 1830s there was virtually nothing left to kill. The most ironic aspect of The Fatal Impact is that Cook himself was among the most gentle & humane travellers ever to drop anchor. He knew that contact between Europeans & the people of the South Seas probably wouldn't be to the latter's advantage, but he could have had no idea just how much misery & destruction would follow in his wake.

Mestarien aamiainen eli hyvästi masentava maanantai!,Kurt Vonnegut Jr.,4.07,Fiction,"First published July 12, 1973","Elämä oli maailmankaikkeuden luojan koe. Luoja halusi kokeilla uudenlaista olentoa, jonka ajatteli sijoittaa maailmankaikkeuteen. Se oli olento joka kykeni tekemään itse päätöksiä. Kaikki muut olennot olivat täysin ohjelmoituja robotteja. Niiden ainoa tarkoitus oli antaa tuolle ajattelevalle olennolle mahdollisimman monenlaisia ärsykkeitä, jotta luoja saattoi tarkkailla tämän reaktioita. Tällainen on pääpiirteittäin tieteiskirjailija Kilgore Troutin erään romaanin sisältö. Menestyvä autokauppias Dwayne Hoover Midland Citystä USA:n keskilännestä on yhtäkkiä herännyt tuskaisena kyselemään elämänsä tarkoitusta (mikä tietysti johtuu jostain häiriöstä hänen aivojensa kemiallisissa reaktioissa). Hän lukee sattumalta Troutin kirjan ja tuntee oitis saavansa vastauksen kysymyksiinsä: hänhän onkin ainoa ajatteleva olento koneitten keskellä. Unohdettu ja erakoitunut tieteiskirjailija Kilgore Trout saapuu itse paikan päälle todistamaan millainen vaikutus hänen ajatuksillaan on. Trout joutuu nimittäin odottamattoman huomion kohteeksi: hän saa kutsun Midland Cityn taidefestivaaleille. Liftimatkalla sinne sattuu jos jotakin, mutta mikäpä Troutin mielenrauhaa järkyttäisi. Kuolevan planeetan epätoivoiset ja kauheat asiat muuntuvat hänen päässään hykerryttäviksi tarinoiksi – avolouhosten runteleman Länsi-Virginian läpi kuljettaessa hän kehittelee antiluonnonsuojelukertomusta planeetasta, jolla syntyi koko ajan niin runsaasti uusia eläin- ja kasvilajeja että kaikesta huolimatta se lopulta tukehtui kolmikymmenmetriseen elävään peitteeseen. Mestarien aamiainen on mielikuvituksellinen sekoitus mustaa huumoria, tieteisromaania, itsetilitystä, vertauskertomusta, yhteiskunnallista komediaa ja farssia, estottoman piirroskuvituksen kera.","267,762"

It also has a gentle reminder of the love of God. Imagine being able to teach your child to feel blessed even if they don’t have a lot of material possessions. So often children feel they have to have money or the expensive toys and clothes to be happy. However, we often see people who have wealth and possessions who are not happy. Gratitude teaches them that money does not always bring happiness and to find happiness in little things that we experience in our daily life, like the sun, stars, family and animals in nature. Studies have shown that there is a strong connection between gratitude and a child’s attitude and happiness in life, both as a child and in their adult life. Some of the benefits of teaching children gratitude include:•Children who understand the importance of thankfulness have an increased joy for life•Feeling of gratitude decreases depression Grateful children are more courteous and polite•Thankfulness makes children more sensitive to others feelings Children Appreciate the work their parents do to provide for them.•Being Thankful increases confidence in childrenGratitude can be a difficult concept to teach to children gratitude is not a natural behavior. It has to be taught. With the help of this book parents can begin to talk to their child about gratitude and have fun with the rhymes and pictures at the same time.",25

4 órás munkahét,Timothy Ferriss,3.92,Business,"First published June 25, 2007","Tim több mint öt évet töltött azzal, hogy ellesse az Újgazdagok, e gyorsan növekvő szubkultúra titkait, mely elvetette az ""elnapolt élet tervezetét"" (robotolás - spórolás - nyugdíjba vonulás), és inkább megtanult mesterien bánni az új pénznemekkel - az idővel és a mobilitással - hogy haladéktalanul fényűző életstílust teremtsen magának.

Riaffiorano alla mente il titolo di una canzone, una trovata pubblicitaria, un nome in passato assidua presenza nelle cronache; piccole cose un tempo frequentate ma poi superate, cose inessenziali, banali ma di forte potere evocativo, capaci di ricreare atmosfere perdute. Il risultato è un lungo elenco di frammenti, 480 microricordi per la precisione, a formare un tessuto connettivo nel quale si può riconoscere un’intera generazione, curiosa di sapere quali tracce il tempo condiviso ha lasciato nella memoria altrui. Il ritmo incantatorio illumina angoli bui e apre nuovi percorsi della memoria del lettore, che Perec invita a compilare la propria lista di microricordi. Tutti possiamo ripetere l’esperienza di questo lavoro. E allora via con i «mi ricordo»: mi ricordo Brigitte Bardot, mi ricordo il Monopoli, mi ricordo l’idrolitina...",542

""Il suolo: un patrimonio da salvare"" racconta come coltivazioni ispirate esclusivamente all'ottenimento di alte rese abbiano compromesso la fertilità dei suoli e la qualità dei cibi. E' dunque tempo di ritrovare i principi di un'agricoltura consapevole e sana, che riconosca il ruolo imprescindibile della terra. Caratteristiche del suolo, funzione degli organismi viventi in esso presenti, benessere degli animali, salute dell'ambiente: questi i temi trattati in un libro che presenta una nuova scienza, l'agrologia.

Introduction to Modern Optics,Grant R. Fowles,3.77,Physics,"First published January 1, 1968","This incisive text provides a basic undergraduate-level course in modern optics for students in physics, technology and engineering. The first half of the book deals with classical physical optics; the second principally with the quantum nature of light. Chapters 1 and 2 treat the propagation of light waves, including the concepts of phase and group velocities, and the vectorial nature of light. Chapter 3 applies the concepts of partial coherence and coherence length to the study of interference, and Chapter 4 takes up multiple-beam interference and includes Fabry-Perot interferometry and multilayer-film theory. Diffraction and holography are the subjects of Chapter 5, and the propagation of light in material media (including crystal and nonlinear optics) are central to Chapter 6. Chapters 7 and 8 introduce the quantum theory of light and elementary optical spectra, and Chapter 9 explores the theory of light amplification and lasers. Chapter 10 briefly outlines ray optics in order to introduce students to the matrix method for treating optical systems and to apply the ray matrix to the study of laser resonators.Many applications of the laser to the study of optics are integrated throughout the text. The author assumes students have had an intermediate course in electricity and magnetism and some advanced mathematics beyond calculus. For classroom use, a list of problems is included at the end of each chapter, with selected answers at the end of the book.",133

Å forstå avisa. Innføring i praktisk presseanalyse,Yngve Benestad Hågvar,3.75,,"First published January 1, 2007","Slik leser DU avis. Både norsklærere og studenter ønsker å analysere avistekster. Nå får de eksperthjelp. Å forstå avisa er et etterlengtet svar på et behov hos både norsklærere og studenter i journalistikk, nordisk og mediefag. Da skolereformen Kunnskapsløftet ble innført høsten 2006, fikk norsklærerne større muligheter til å bruke pressetekster i undervisningen og lære elevene å lese dem kritisk. Men det fantes ingen norsk lærebok som gav pedagogiske eksempler på slike analyser, derfor skrev Hågvar denne boka. Tekst og tanke Nå har høgskolelektoren tatt saken i egne hender og skrevet en enkel innføring i diskursanalyse av pressetekster, der hoveddelen av boka er viet analyser. Pressetekstene er hentet fra ulike sjangere i Aftenposten, Dagbladet og VG. Også nettavisene er med. Jeg vil vise hvordan man kan lese mye mer ut av pressetekstene enn bare faktainnholdet, forklarer Hågvar. Hovedbudskapet er at tekstene alltid vil bære med seg spor av bestemte tenkemåter, og at de dermed også konstant er med på å bekrefte eller stille spørsmål ved våre egne tenkemåter. Sammensatte tekster Hågvar mener det er spesielt viktig å se på skrift, bilder og layout som en sammensatt enhet. Ja, man kan ikke tolke meningen i en artikkel uten å ta høyde for hva som er avbildet, hvor bildet er plassert, osv. Dessuten spiller konteksten en viktig rolle. Dette kan man lese mye om i boka, avslutter forfatteren. Yngve Benestad Hågvar er høgskolelektor og underviser i norsk språk og stil ved Journalistutdanningen ved Høgskolen i Oslo.",4

Martin's ""A Song of Ice and Fire."" Now we're adding more special guests, more essays, and even behind-the-scenes information on just how this massive joint venture got off the ground in the first place.Even better, we went through all the old material and spruced it up.

Den produktive og mangefacetterede forfatter er især kendt for sin satiriske samtidsskildring. Lukian var fra Samosata i Syrien, men skrev et smukt attisk græsk. Han revsede sin tids profeter, filosoffer og historikere og skabte raffineret og vittigt nye genrer ved blanding af gamle: komedie, menippæisk satire og dialoger. Bevaret er ca. 80 værker, hvoraf kun en del er oversat til dansk.Det drejer sig især om satiriske dialoger, f.eks. nærværende værk, ""Gudesamtaler"", og ""Hetæresamtaler"". Et af hans værker bærer titlen ""En sandfærdig historie"" og handler om en rejse til månen og en slags stjernekrig. Lukian har således æren af at være den tidligste science fiction-forfatter.Af andre værker kan nævnes Phalaris, der består af to taler, der viser, hvordan en tyrans propaganda i 6. århundrede f.Kr. var.Romanen ""Æslet"" var også i lang tid tillagt Lukian, men anses i dag ikke længere for hans, hvorfor forfatteren til den kaldes Pseudo-Lukian.

Qual è lo scarto linguistico fra le avventure di Superman e quelle di Jeeg Robot d’Acciaio? Come inserire Candy Candy nella tradizione del feuilleton?

A quasi dieci anni dalla sua prima edizione, Mazinga Nostalgia è il testo di riferimento con cui confrontarsi per comprendere il fenomeno anime in tutta la sua complessità linguistica e sociale.",22

Sexy as Hell Box Set,Harlem Dae,4.26,BDSM,"First published October 21, 2013","Box set of three complete novels which make up the Sexy as Hell Trilogy - The Novice, The Player and The Vixen - and three spin-off short stories, The Mistress, The Star and The Harlequin. What's it all about...? Sexy as Hell is an erotic trilogy that will submerge you into the black heart of a world of bondage and discipline, Dominance and submission, sadism and masochism. Dare to take this twisting journey with Victor and you’ll learn the ropes with him, experience every carnal sensation and fall into a dark and dangerous love that grips like a fist and binds like a collar. Get to know Zara, his sultry teacher, and you’ll gasp when she doles out her sinful instructions but then delight in the stunning results she not only demands but achieves. It seems Heaven and Hell are not so far apart when she holds the reins. Victor has his layers peeled back, but when he does the same to try to get to his Vixen’s core, a revelation appears. Because Zara is a woman whose vast sexual experience is both her strength and her weakness; she can inflict pain and pleasure, make lusty demands and instruct, but she needs so much more, she needs… Yes, the time has come to for her to admit to her needs and confess to the repairing her soul hungers for. A sea of memories, a lifetime of control requires an acknowledgement that will cut through her barriers, and there’s only one man up for the job—her virgin, her student, her newly trained monster, Victor Partridge. Please note, in order to enjoy Victor and Zara’s adventures, the trilogy must be read in order and they have been supplied as such within this box set. Also included in this box set are three spin-off stories to satisfy your curiosity about the colourful secondary characters.",39

"Stories II: The Collected Stories of T. Coraghessan Boyle, Volume II",T. Coraghessan Boyle,4.16,Short Stories,"First published January 1, 2013","A second volume of collected short fiction—from the bestselling author and winner of the 2015 Rea Award for the Short StoryFew authors write with such sheer love of story and language as T.C. Boyle, and that is nowhere more evident than in his inventive, wickedly funny, and always entertaining short stories. In 1998, T.C. Boyle Stories brought together the author’s first four collections to critical acclaim. Now, T.C. Boyle Stories II gathers the work from his three most recent collections along with fourteen new tales previously unpublished in book form as well as a preface in which Boyle looks back on his career as a writer of stories and the art of making them.By turns mythic and realistic, farcical and tragic, ironic and moving, Boyle’s stories have mapped a wide range of human emotions. The fifty-eight stories in this new volume, written over the last eighteen years, reflect his maturing themes. Along with the satires and tall tales that established his reputation, readers will find stories speaking to contemporary social issues, from air rage to abortion doctors, and character-driven tales of quiet power and passion. Others capture timeless themes, from first love and its consequences to confrontations with mortality, or explore the conflict between civilization and wildness. The new stories find Boyle engagingly testing his characters’ emotional and physical endurance, whether it’s a group of giants being bred as weapons of war in a fictional Latin American country, a Russian woman who ignores dire warnings in returning to her radiation-contaminated home, a hermetic writer who gets more than a break in his routine when he travels to receive a minor award, or a man in a California mountain town who goes a little too far in his concern for a widow.  Mordant wit, emotional power, exquisite it is all here in abundance. T.C. Boyle Stories II is a grand career statement from a writer whose imagination knows no bounds.",366

Il calice della vita,Glenn Cooper,3.52,Thriller,"First published October 24, 2013","Per secoli, regnanti e uomini di fede, eruditi e avventurieri lo hanno cercato. Invano. Nessuno ha scoperto dov’è custodito. E nessuno ha scoperto quale mistero nasconda. Fino a oggi. Inghilterra, XV secolo. Non è la prigione a gettare Thomas Malory nel più nero sconforto. È la consapevolezza di avere fallito, proprio come tutti coloro che lo hanno preceduto. Ormai ha una sola ragione di vita: proteggere la chiave che dà accesso a un segreto antichissimo. E ha un solo modo per farlo: scrivere un’opera sulle gesta di re Artù e dei cavalieri della Tavola Rotonda... Inghilterra, oggi. Arthur Malory è sconvolto. Prima ha visto il suo migliore amico, Andrew, morire per mano di un assassino, poi è sfuggito per miracolo all'incendio che ha distrutto la sua casa. E tutto ha avuto inizio con una telefonata, quella in cui Andrew gli annunciava di avere novità sensazionali riguardo alla loro grande passione comune: il Graal. Da quel momento, Arthur è diventato il bersaglio di uomini senza scrupoli, determinati a completare una missione iniziata in Palestina, la notte in cui Gesù ha bevuto dal sacro calice, durante l’Ultima Cena. La sua unica possibilità di salvezza è trovare il Graal prima di loro. E, per riuscirci, dovrà rintracciare e seguire una catena d’indizi lasciata dal suo illustre antenato, Thomas Malory. Ma la sfida più grande che attende Arthur è la natura stessa del potere del Graal. Un potere che risale all’origine dell'universo, un potere che va oltre la Chiesa, oltre la morte di Cristo, oltre la vita... Con questo romanzo ambizioso e audace, Glenn Cooper coinvolge il lettore in un’avventura sorprendente, al confine tra fede e scienza, confermandosi uno degli autori di maggior talento degli ultimi anni.","1,542"

Jane Austen: A New Revelation,Nicholas Ennos,2.5,,"First published October 22, 2013","Was the author of Pride and Prejudice really a poor, uneducated woman with no experience of sex or marriage? A woman who spent most of her life in rural seclusion, never meeting any other literary figures, and whose only formal education was two years at a basic primary school? This is what biographers of Jane Austen expect us to believe. But, if this is the case, how could she have written those novels which are considered by many discriminating critics the finest in the English language? Nicholas Ennos shows that the real author was a woman who moved in the highest circles of London society, was educated in Latin and Greek and spoke fluent French.

Fasismin lumous,Tarmo Kunnas,3.46,History,"First published January 1, 2013","Nykynäkökulmasta fasismia ja kansallissosialismia pidetään absoluuttisen pahan edustajina. Maailmansotien välissä fasistiset liikkeet vetosivat kuitenkin niin eurooppalaiseen älymystöön kuin kansaankin. Miksi fasismi oli niin lumovoimainen aate? Ja minkä vuoksi fasismi vietteli lahjakkaita, kriittisiä ihmisiä puolelleen?Fasismin lumous pureutuu eurooppalaisen älymystön fasismi-innostukseen. Teos pohjautuu huikeaan määrään kaunokirjallisuutta, historiaa, filosofiaa ja aikalaislehtiartikkeleita. Saksa ja Italia tunnetaan fasismin kannattajina, mutta Kunnas osoittaa, miten fasismin kannatus levisi läpi Euroopan, myös Pohjoismaihin. Fasismi sitoi yhteen aikakauden aatevirtaukset: taiteen ja uskonnon, rotuopin ja elämänvoiman, filosofian ja kirjallisuuden, ja sen lumoissa olivat niin Nobel-kirjailija Knut Hamsun kuin Lapuan liike ja Akateeminen Karjala-Seurakin.Fasismin lumous avaa myös näköalan siihen, miten poliittiset ilmiöt ja aatteet syntyvät ja mikä on politiikan olemus. Vallantahto, aatteellinen manipulaatio ja usko illuusioihin ja suuriin johtajiin ei väijy vain fasistista politiikkaa vaan kaikkea poliittista toimintaa. Nykymaailma heijastaa edelleen fasismin vaikutteita.",35

Vita scritta da Esso,Vittorio Alfieri,3.57,Nonfiction,"First published January 1, 1803","È la primavera del 1790 quando Vittorio Alfieri inizia a scrivere La Vita. Dalla casa di rue de Provence ha seguito la stampa parigina delle proprie tragedie; passando in carrozza fra le macerie della Bastiglia, ha assistito al dilagare della violenza. In questo tempo estremo, in cui i destini sono travolti dagli eventi della storia, si moltiplicano gli scritti autobiografici, dai Memoires, stampati da Goldoni nel 1787 per affermare la vocazione di commediografo, alle Confessions di Rousseau, completate l'anno successivo. Altri, come Casanova, avrebbero pubblicato scritti giocati su memoria e menzogna. Alfieri è al centro di questa temperie culturale, eppure La Vita segna per lui il culmine di un percorso di autoconoscenza, avviato nelle pagine di un diario giovanile e proseguito in generi letterari diversi: una ricerca della propria identità nel metaforico specchio della mente, con la capacità di prendere le distanze dal proprio personaggio, di estraniarsi dalla materia trattata per decantarla, se necessario, nel filtro dell'ironia. La sua autobiografia fu cominciata a poco più di quarant'anni, dopo aver scritto le tragedie e soprattutto dopo aver vissuto l'amara delusione della degenerazione della Rivoluzione francese. La Vita è quindi molti libri in uno: le memorie dell'infanzia e le avventure della maturità, gli amori, la riflessione politica e infine quella poetica, che trasformano quest'opera nell'unico, autentico romanzo del nostro Settecento.",396

Zo ontstond een briefwisseling tussen Romijn Meijer en J.J. Voskuil, tussen Amerika en Nederland. In dit boek zijn deze brieven bijeengebracht, ingeleid en van verklarende noten voorzien door Gerben Wynia. Speciaal voor deze uitgave schreef Elizabeth Mollison, de weduwe van Romijn Meijer, haar herinneringen aan dat Amerikaanse jaar op. Het boek bevat foto’s afkomstig uit haar archief en bovendien twee niet eerder herdrukte verhalen van Romijn Meijer uit de periode van de briefwisseling. Uit deze briefwisseling blijkt dat Romijn Meijer en Voskuil een andere opvatting over schrijven en publiceren hebben. In Romijn Meijer leert Voskuil een schrijver kennen die druk doende is zich een plaats te verwerven in de literaire wereld. Hij publiceert in kranten en tijdschriften, beoefent verschillende genres en heeft van de literatuur zijn werk gemaakt door te kiezen voor een universitaire loopbaan in de letteren. Maar bij Voskuil is er aanvankelijk zelfs sprake van onwil om literair werk te publiceren. Als hij dan toch besluit zijn roman Bij nader inzien te publiceren, herinnert Romijn Meijer hem er fijntjes aan, dat Voskuil hem ooit een avond lang heeft uitgescholden juist omdat hij wel publiceerde. Deze briefwisseling documenteert de beginjaren van twee getalenteerde schrijvers. Hun opvattingen botsen soms maar qua intelligentie, eruditie en humor zijn ze aan elkaar gewaagd.",1

Acordava por assim dizer na mesa de trabalho e escrevia o resto do capítulo começado no dia antecedente para enviá-lo à tipografia. Depois do almoço entrava por novo capítulo, que deixava em meio. Saía então para fazer algum exercício antes do jantar no Hotel Europa. À tarde, até nove ou dez horas da noite, passava no escritório da Redação, onde escrevia o artigo editorial e o mais que era preciso"".No primeiro momento, o romance aborda a descrição da civilização representada pelos domínios de D. Antônio de Mariz, fidalgo português que nos fins do século XVI, fiel ao projeto colonizador da coroa portuguesa - submetida naquele período ao domínio espanhol, instala uma fazenda às margens do rio Paquequer. O segundo momento, marcado pelo ataque dos Aimorés lança por terra a esperança de uma sociedade portuguesa no solo brasileiro: a ordem da civilização portuguesa deve ser destruída, para que renasça a nação brasileira. Por fim, o terceiro momento, o renascimento, a união de Ceci e Peri. Sozinha no mundo, Ceci se recusa a ir para o Rio de Janeiro, após a destruição dos domínios de seu pai, preferindo ficar com Peri. O final é aberto, sugerindo a fusão de europeus e índios cristianizados e submissos como a fundação da nacionalidade brasileira: ""O hálito ardente de Peri bafejou-lhe a face. Fez-se no semblante da virgem um ninho de castos rubores e lânguidos sorrisos: os lábios abriram como as asas purpúreas de um beijo soltando o vôo.

American Magdalene: The Redemption of Belle Brezing,Doug Tattershall,3.78,Nonfiction,"First published October 24, 2013","When author Margaret Mitchell needed a hardscrabble woman to serve as confidante to Rhett Butler, her husband told her about Belle Brezing, a Victorian madam of a famous brothel in Lexington, Kentucky. Brezing entered Mitchell’s novel as Belle Watling, but the real Belle’s life story is as dramatic as anything to be found in the pages of ""Gone With the Wind."" Brezing was born illegitimate, raised in poverty in a violent home, and cast off at 15 after her mother's funeral, with a baby in her arms and her door padlocked by the landlord. From this desperate childhood, Brezing became rich and famous, operating what Time magazine called the ""most orderly of disorderly houses."" The city's famous horse racing meets helped make her brothel known nationwide, but behind her success was a determination to provide for her daughter and see that she never saw the inside of a brothel nor was ever mistreated by a man. Brezing was known as someone who distributed much of her wealth to needy folks out the side door of her famous house and for raising vice in her hometown to the level of haute couture. By the time Brezing died in 1940, decades of local folklore and the success of ""Gone With the Wind"" helped generate a massive crowd at the auction of her household items. She has been the subject of historic preservation movements and theatrical plays and has had her name on a light beer, a gay bar, and an annual bed race. But despite the iconic and bawdy image in her hometown, her story is a more human one. The visits of her doctor, university book collectors, the city’s only female police officer, and her priest offer glimpses into the years of seclusion at the end of her life, revealing how she reconciled her sorrowful childhood and her raucous career.",27

El señor Valery,Gonçalo M. Tavares,3.87,Portuguese Literature,"First published January 1, 2002","El señor Valéry es pequeño: él hubiera preferido ser alto. El señor Valéry no quiere encariñarse demasiado con una mascota, ya que mueren fácilmente. El señor Valéry suele confundir su sombrero con su cabello. El señor Valéry necesita, por razones imperativas, distinguir su derecha de su izquierda, pero ¿cómo? El señor Valéry, como vemos, tiene bastantes problemas. Para resolverlos recurre a la lógica, y a extraordinarias fábulas filosóficas. Las contrariedades que sufre en la vida cotidiana le dan ocasión de formular nuevos pensamientos; él no ve el mundo con los mismos ojos que el resto de la gente: es un poeta del razonamiento que nos hace reír y enternecernos.Ilustrado por Rachel Caiano, El señor Valéry es el primer volumen de una serie de libros dedicados a los habitantes del Barrio, una comunidad muy peculiar. «Cuando uno lee El señor Valéry no deja de acordarse de Lewis Carroll, ya que da la impresión de que detrás de nuestra lógica rutinaria se esconde otra, igual de válida. El señor Valéry me recuerda a otros famosos personajes como el de Un certain Plume de Henri Michaux o Herr Keuner de Bertolt Brecht, pero por encima de todo evoca al poeta francés Paul Valéry.

She lived through the war in Germany, as a German citizen, under the horrors of Nazi rule and Allied bombings.

Washed: A Novel,Eugenie Laverne Mitchell,4.18,Fiction,"First published April 16, 2012","""WASHED"" is a beautiful love story set in London, England, about a single young Christian lady (Cherie Johnson), who at 28 is ready to settle down and wants to find a suitable marriage candidate. But Princess Cherie is not willing to kiss any frogs in her quest to find a Prince. Her best friend believes she has placed her bar way too high for mere mortals? Princess Cherie does not get too much time to worry about being lonely because she has other things on her mind - for one a deep desire to establish her true identity by tracing a deadbeat father she has never known and secondly a demanding career as the head of a successful artiste management company. When Cherie meets a handsome, successful and eligible young man (Gustave Allen), she believes that she may have struck gold. But the course of true love seldom runs smoothly, and Gustave comes with baggage attached, which some might say is payback for his past sins. Unbeknown to Cherie and to Gus, however, their promising future together is threatened by a powerful and deadly common enemy - one who will stop at nothing in a quest for revenge and destruction - one who wields a power so sinister it can only be challenged by tapping into a higher source. And many surprises come into play as the story takes unexpected twists and turns that will delight and intrigue the reader. ""WASHED"" has been hailed as a ""best"" read by some and as essential reading by others. It contains a good measure of romance, humour, suspense, betrayal - evil is demonstrated in its vilest form. It is highly spiritually and emotionally charged, presenting love in all its guises: pure love; unrequited love; unconditional love; conditional (feigned) love and powerful agape love that overcomes all - even the most despicable evil.",38

When Bob discovered that he and his wife of twelve years, Toni, had drifted apart, he was determined to keep their marriage alive. The core of the problem? Though they still loved each other, Bob and his wife no longer knew each other very well. Most of their ideas about one another had been formed when they first met and married--and had never changed, even as they themselves were growing and changing.So Bob devised a ""reacquaintance form"" for husbands and wives to complete, covering subjects like work, intimacy and family life. Husband and wife filled in answers to topics like ""three things I would do if I had the money to do them"" and ""on a scale of 1 to 10, the importance I think intimacies like hugging, cuddling and lovemaking have in a relationship"". Sharing the information on the reacquaintance forms along with a two day period of getting to know one another again served as the spark for Bob and Toni to cement their marriage and make a commitment for the future.Follow Bob's easy 48 hour plan and remember why you and your spouse planned to be together forever.",1

When one night they are forced to expel a middle-aged man and a prostitute from their room, Mari finds herself drawn to the man's voice, in what will become the first gesture of a single long seduction. In spite of her provincial surroundings, and her cool but controlling mother, Mari is a sophisticated observer of human desire, and she sees in this man something she has long been looking for.

Kuća disanja,Gail Jones,4.07,Short Stories,"First published January 1, 1992","Priču o djevojčici iz Sibira koja je prvi put u životu vidjela žive slike na platnu, odnosno realnost suprotnu osjetu ""prirodnoga"" oka, sve povijesti filmske umjetnosti bilježe kao točku od koje počinje moderan doživljaj prostora i vremena. Dijete se, navodno, prestrašilo kovitlaca glava, ruku, nogu i stvari, te je panično pobjeglo iz kina ne znajući da je to samo viđenje stvarnosti, život uhvaćen iz više kutova istodobno i spojen u cjelinu koja se potom može pratiti u različitim pravcima.Tom povijesnom zgodom započinje i zbirka Kuća disanja (The House of Breathing) ugledne australske književnice Gail Jones, u kojoj se čitatelju nudi četrnaest neobičnih priča o ljudima koji su uz malo napora prodrli u najveće svjetske tajne. Ponekad i nehotice. Dovoljno je da čovjek poput junakinje priče Mračna vremena okusi pravi engleski čaj pa da se odmah prisjeti studentskih dana, kad je pisao magistarski rad o jednome poznatome povijesnom događaju. Mašta će mu u raskošnim hodnicima svjetske povijesti brzo naći poticaj za vlastitu priču ili sliku. Čarolija će potom popustiti, naravno, glumci će se povući, zastor će pasti, a pozornica opustjeti, no negdje u dubini bića trajno će se naseliti čudesno treperenje za koje dotad nije znao, nešto što bi se moglo nazvati ljepotom življenja, ljubavlju, zadovoljstvom ili nečim četvrtim.Jer slavna ruska djevojčica iz herojskog doba filma zapravo nije doživjela šok, nego prosvjetljenje. Susret s čudom moderne tehnike svojoj dobroj babuški nije opisala zbrkano i prestrašeno, nego je, veli Gail Jones, govorila o tuljcu jarkog svjetla, bijelom prolazu lebdećih leptira, nježnih, očaravajućih, naoko transcendentalnih, ""koji su možda, na kraju krajeva, nekako mistično svjedočili o prolasku anđela""…Sve stvari na svijetu povezane su na čudesan način, poručuje Gail Jones. I možda su zaista djelo nevjerojatnih anđela.",27

We occupied a little suite of apartments in the tower, consisting of a small study parlor from which opened two double bedrooms and one single one. Our family was called the Amen Corner, because our initials, arranged as an acrostic, spelled the word Amen, and because we were a set of little Pharisees, prigs, and ""digs,"" not particularly admired by the rest of the school, but exceedingly virtuous and preternaturally perfect in our own estimation. This was our status at the beginning of our first school year together, and the change that came over us, owing to the introduction into our circle of Witch Winnie, the greatest scape-grace in the most mischief-making set of the school, the ""Queen of the Hornets,"" has already been told. A quieting, earnest influence acted upon Winnie, and a natural, merry-hearted love of fun reacted on us, and we were all the better for the companionship.""",21

"Der Klang der Familie. Berlin, la techno et la chute du mur",Felix Denk,4.23,Music,"First published March 13, 2012","Montage sulfureux d'entretiens avec les acteurs de la scène techno de Berlin, Der Klang der Familie plonge le lecteur dans les méandres tortueux des clubs et de la vie nocturne de Berlin. Là où est née une véritable culture musicale. Servie par la verve de l'oralité et de l'humour pince-sans-rire, cette fresque montre que la techno est une démarche aussi bien artistique que politique ou, pour mieux dire, apolitique. Les acteurs du mouvement relatent de l'intérieur un contexte mouvementé : la chute du mur et une dictature mourante. Dans un Berlin dévasté, en proie à l'anarchie, les noctambules se sont emparé du pouvoir. Un monde nouveau s'ouvre pour la musique ; les squats et les premiers clubs dans les caves font leur apparition. Les musiciens techno de Detroit (Jeff Mills et Juan Atkins) sont là aux côtés de Berlinois (le planétaire Westbam ou la drôlatique Marusha). Entre explosion d'endorphine, drogues et sexe, il est autant question de la vie musicale que de musique. Dans cette histoire tumultueuse, les voix se répondent mais ne s'accordent pas toujours. C'est que l'argot des fêtards le dispute à la confession intime, notamment celle de trois anciens hooligans de l'Est devenus des organisateurs réputés de rave. Le profit que l'on peut tirer de ce genre musical nouveau ne tarde pas à être convoité. D'un côté, la techno s'adoucit pour devenir plus populaire, de l'autre, pour les purs et durs, pas question de la trahir : elle ne doit rien céder de sa pureté.

Outlander,Ellie Bay,4.00,BDSM,"First published August 31, 2013","Librarian's note: This is an alternate cover edition for ASIN: B00EXP7RKE.After waking up naked and restrained on another planet, with no idea who she is or how she got there, a woman learns that the planet she is on, Borealis, plays by radically different rules.Borealians are beautiful, sexual beings who are immune to aging or disease. Death comes only by god’s hand and at his whim. Shame and forgiveness do not exist; only actions and consequences.She is told her life path is to be part of an erotic pair, a great honor for any Borealian. Before she can even get her bearings, she is given to a Dominant, Marcus Alexis, to be his submissive. He’s a complete stranger to her, but she must obey and trust him without fault.BDSM is the law, bondage is a form of worship and Marcus is quite the religious zealot. After bringing her to her first delicious orgasm, he names her Claire.Borealian law—with the help of some wicked chastity devices—prevents Dominants from having intercourse with their submissives. Only god is allowed to enter a sub and breaking of the chastity vow is punishable by death.Even with this sexual denial, Marcus and Claire create a sensual, spiritual bond that transforms her and opens her body and soul in ways she never imagined. But her journey is fraught with danger as god tries to lure her away from her lover and take her for himself.WHAT TO EXPECTIn this erotic fantasy you’ll see BDSM with a special emphasis on bondage. Sex scenes will involve intercourse, oral sex, erotic stimulation and kissing. There will be romantic and supernatural elements as well.If you enjoy erotica, BDSM and fantasy, this book is for you.",17
El enigma Spinoza,Irvin D. Yalom,4.25,Philosophy,"First published March 6, 2012","¿Qué conecta al filósofo judío del siglo XVII Baruch Spinoza con el principal ideólogo de la solución final nazi? A los dieciséis años, Alfred Rosenberg recibe un castigo escolar por sus comentarios antisemitas: memorizar pasajes de Spinoza tomados de la autobiografía de Goethe. More...Rosenberg se sorprende al descubrir que Goethe, su ídolo, admiraba al filósofo judío. Mucho después de su graduación, sigue obsesionado con ese enigma. ¿Por qué el gran poeta atemán pudo haberse sentido inspirado por un miembro de la raza que él desprecia hasta el punto de querer destruirla? A causa de sus opiniones religiosas poco ortodoxas, Spinoza fue expulsado de la comunidad judía de Amsterdam en 1656, a los veinticuatro años, y se esfumó del único mundo que conocía. Aunque su existencia fue breve y austera, produjo una obra que cambió el curso de la historia. Con el tiempo, Rosenberg se transformó en un servidor leal de Hitler y el principal autor de la política racista del Tercer Reich. Sin embargo, no conseguía olvidar a Spinoza... En esta nueva novela, que rivaliza en excelencia con sus bestsellers El día que Nietzsche lloró y Un año con Schopenhauer, Irvin Yatom intersecta las vidas del filósofo y del asesino de masas. Mediante sus dotes excepcionales como narrador, logra introducir al lector en la mente de dos hombres separados por los siglos y por una visión opuesta del mundo.

و آنگاه دیگر هیچ,Agatha Christie,4.28,Mystery,"First published November 6, 1939","First, there were ten—a curious assortment of strangers summoned as weekend guests to a little private island off the coast of Devon. Their host, an eccentric millionaire unknown to all of them, is nowhere to be found. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they're unwilling to reveal—and a secret that will seal their fate. For each has been marked for murder. A famous nursery rhyme is framed and hung in every room of the mansion:""Ten little boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine. Nine little boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight. Eight little boys traveling in Devon; One said he'd stay there then there were seven. Seven little boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in half and then there were six. Six little boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five. Five little boys going in for law; One got in Chancery and then there were four. Four little boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three. Three little boys walking in the zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were two. Two little boys sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up and then there was one. One little boy left all alone; He went out and hanged himself and then there were none.""When they realize that murders are occurring as described in the rhyme, terror mounts. One by one they fall prey. Before the weekend is out, there will be none. Who has choreographed this dastardly scheme? And who will be left to tell the tale? Only the dead are above suspicion.","1,449,448"

Justine,Marquis de Sade,3.42,Classics,"First published January 1, 1787","Ένα κλασικό αριστούργημα της παγκόσμιας ερωτικής λογοτεχνίας, που κάποτε λογοκρίθηκε ως το ""πιο αποκρουστικό βιβλίο της πιο διεφθαρμένης φαντασίας"".Από τον Μαρκήσιο ντε Σαντ, τον μεγάλο χαρτογράφο της σεξουαλικής συμπεριφοράς, τον σπουδαίο ανατόμο της σκοτεινής πλευράς των ανθρώπων.Ο Μαρκήσιος ντε Σαντ έζησε τα 30 από τα 74 χρόνια της ζωής του έγκλειστος σε φυλακές και σε άσυλα για φρενοβλαβείς. Το έργο του αποτιμήθηκε είτε ως εμπνευσμένο, είτε ως βλάσφημο.

Οι περιπέτειες της νεαρής ενάρετης Ζυστίν, που υφίσταται βιασμούς, ξυλοδαρμούς και πάσης φύσεως εξευτελισμούς στα χέρια εγκληματικών στοιχείων, ερέθισαν τη φαντασία των αναγνωστών, καθώς μερικές από τις πιο σκοτεινές φαντασιώσεις της ανθρώπινης ψυχής αποτυπώνονταν για πρώτη φορά στο χαρτί.","15,846"
Hunting the Hunters: At War with the Whaler,Laurens de Groot,4.11,Nonfiction,"First published October 18, 2012","As the rest of the world stood by and watched, Laurens risked everything to defend these extraordinary mammals from extinction. A truly powerful and inspiring story.' Susan Sarandon Laurens de Groot was a detective for the Dutch police, specializing in organized crime and environmental pollution. He was rapidly promoted through the ranks, but became increasingly disillusioned with failed prosecutions and minimal prison sentences. But although as a detective there was little he could do to stop the truly big criminals, there was a more radical option - direct action, not necessarily within the law. Laurens leaves his job, sells up, travels to Australia and joins Sea Shepherd, an international organization protecting marine wildlife. He soon finds himself in the middle of the war against the Japanese whaling fleet operating in the Antarctic whale sanctuary. As the Japanese hunt whales, Laurens and the Sea Shepherd crews hunt them. Their boats are tiny for the wild Southern Ocean, and as well as dealing with the extreme weather they are repeatedly attacked by the Japanese crews and nearly shipwrecked by ice. On one mission, their boat is rammed, cut in two and sunk by a whaling ship. This is war, with no quarter given. Hunting the Hunters is an action-packed and timely account of one man's extraordinary life, as well as an ongoing battle against a powerful nation determined to get its way no matter the cost. It's an important subject, one that a lot of people care about, and as Laurens tells the story in his own words this is a compelling and insightful book.",55

War of the Gods,Justine Borrego,3.50,Childrens,"First published October 9, 2013","Seven-year-old Justin is an ordinary little boy. He dreams of living in a world full of mythical creatures and thrilling adventures, similar to those that he studies at school in Greek mythology. Then, one day, his mother brings home a chimera box. When he asks her what this word ‘chimera’ means, he learns that it is derived from Greek mythology, describing anything perceived as widely imaginative. A naturally shy boy, Justin is initially wary of the box, but his wariness soon turns to intrigue, and on a dull, rainy day, he finds the confidence to step into the box. On stepping inside, Justin enters a magical world which exceeds even his wildest imagination. He travels to dangerous lands and comes face to face with terrifying creatures. His journey in this new found world is made alongside, and under the guidance of, faithful Greek goddess Gaea. Gaea has no doubt of Justin’s great skills and helps him to believe in himself in order to prepare for his most challenging battle of all; confronting and fighting Hades, Cronus and Cyclops, in order to fulfill the prophecy and save all the trapped and defenseless gods from the wrath of Zeus and Jupiter. Justin must face his fears and find the courage to endure many struggles and battles. Together Justin and Gaea must defeat evil - the fate of the gods lays in their hands. A wonderful tale of bravery, determination and aspiration, War of the Gods explores a child’s dream of becoming the greatest Greco-Roman warrior that ever lived. Throughout his journey Justin becomes a stronger person, not only physically, but emotionally and mentally, and he learns that he is able to accomplish any goal with hard work, dedication and perseverance. War of the Gods is the first book in the Chimera Box Series, in which each book in the series follows the journey of a different child stepping into the magical chimera box; a special vessel which allows a child’s creativity and imagination to flourish, enabling them to transform into a different character. In order for this transformation to take place, the child must find their hero within. The chimera box will grant each child the ability to go anywhere and become anyone or anything their heart desires; a place where dreams come alive and where there are no boundaries to what voyage a child can go on. War of the Gods was written by Justine Borrego with the help of her nine-year-old twin sons Juan and Marco Borrego. The trio were motivated by their passions for writing and taking on projects together. What originally began as short paragraphs of writing, evolved into the first book in the Chimera Box Series. Written in an un-intimidating style, the book is accessible to children from the age of five to ten. The power of the imagination is a powerful theme throughout the book and the Borrego’s hope to motivate and encourage children to not only use their imagination, but also to allow their creativity and resourcefulness to emerge in their real lives, by setting high goals and standards for themselves.",28

Livro das Perguntas,Pablo Neruda,4.01,Poetry,"First published January 1, 1974","A best-selling volume of Pablo Neruda's poetry in an English-Spanish edition.Pablo Neruda is one of the world's most popular poets, and in The Book of Questions, Neruda refuses to be corralled by the rational mind. Composed of 316 unanswerable questions, these poems integrate the wonder of a child with the experiences of an adult. By turns Orphic, comic, surreal, and poignant, Neruda's questions lead the reader beyond reason into realms of intuition and pure imagination.This complete translation of Pablo Neruda's El libro de las preguntas (The Book of Questions) features Neruda's original Spanish-language poems alongside William O'Daly's English translations. In his introduction O'Daly, who has translated eight volumes of Pablo Neruda's poetry, writes, ""These poems, more so than any of Neruda's other work, remind us that living in a state of visionary surrender to the elemental questions, free of the quiet desperation of clinging too tightly to answers, may be our greatest act of faith.""When Neruda died in 1973, The Book of Questions was one of eight unpublished poetry manuscripts that lay on his desk. In it, Neruda achieves a deeper vulnerability and vision than in his earlier work-and this unique book is a testament to everything that made Neruda an artist.""Neruda's questions evoke pictures that make sense on a visual level before the reader can grasp them on a literal one. The effect is mildly dazzling [and] O'Daly's translations achieve a tone that is both meditative and spontaneous."" --Publishers WeeklyPablo Neruda, born in southern Chile, led a life charged with poetic and political activity. He was the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, the International Peace Prize, and served as Chile's ambassador to several countries, including Burma, France, and Argentina. He died in 1973.II.Tell me, is the rose naked or is that her only dress?Why do trees conceal the splendor of their roots?Who hears the regrets of the thieving automobile?Is there anything in the world sadder than a train standing in the rain?XIV.And what did the rubies say standing before the juice of pomegranates?Why doesn't Thursday talk itself into coming after Friday?Who shouted with gleewhen the color blue was born?Why does the earth grievewhen the violets appear?","4,332"

Goings: In Thirteen Sittings,Gordon Lish,3.20,Fiction,"First published January 1, 2014","Goings: In Thirteen Sittings is Gordon Lish’s first completely original work in sixteen years, thirteen stories that mark the ongoing vitality of one of the era’s enduring scribes.Widely acknowledged as perhaps the most influential editor since Maxwell Perkins, Gordon Lish has quite simply changed the face of American literature. The stunning list of writers with whom he has worked closely includes Harold Brodkey, Don DeLillo, Sam Lipsyte, Ben Marcus, Anne Carson, Cynthia Ozick, Raymond Carver, Will Eno, Barry Hannah, Amy Hempel and many more.But it is in his own writing that his genius is made manifest. There, his quick wit and black humor are on full display, as well as a merciless intellect that skewers no one so thoroughly as, and more often than, a narrator most often known as “Gordon.” In the stories in Goings, Lish wrestles with memory; self-knowledge (the lack and the impossibility thereof); friendship; mothers, sons and lovers. More than that, the language here is a collective paradigm of Lishian prose: a great writer’s attempt to leap off the page.",45

Gay Propaganda,Masha Gessen,4.06,Nonfiction,"First published February 1, 2014","Gay Propaganda brings together original stories, interviews and testimonial, presented in both English and Russian, to capture the lives and loves of LGBT Russians living both in Russia and in exile today. Timed for publication in February 2014, on the eve of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, the book is a provocative riposte to Russia’s recently passed and ill-defined ban on “homosexual propaganda.”As part of a strategy to consolidate political control in Russia following massive pro-democracy protests that shook the government, President Putin’s ruling party decided it needed an enemy to unite the country. Hoping to manipulate backward but widely-held prejudices, it opted to demonize gays and lesbians. As a result, in June 2013, Putin signed a bill banning any and all “propaganda” of so-called non-traditional relationships. Quite predictably, in the months that followed, attacks, firings, and hate crimes have spiked across Russia, and the state-sanctioned campaign shows no sign of abating. The Russian Duma is now debating a law to take children away from gay and lesbian parents.As the world’s media turns its attention to the host country of the Winter Olympics, the stories gathered in Gay Propaganda offer a timely and intimate window into the hardships faced by Russians on the receiving end of state-sanctioned homophobia. Here are tales of of men and women in long-term committed relationships as well as those still looking for love; of those trying to raise kids or taking care of parents; of those facing the challenges of continuing to live in Russia or joining an exodus that is rapidly becoming a flood.",70

Борджиите,Roberto Gervaso,3.90,History,"First published January 1, 1976","Малко имена в историята са били толкова хулени, колкото тези на Борджиите.Съвременниците и потомците им направили от тях чудовища, годни за всякаква измама и безумство. Над тях са били излети реки не от мастило, а от злъч.Никога католическата църква не била падала толкова низко, както през папството на Александър VI, никога не се ширели тъй много развратът, непотизмът и симонията. Нямало порок, на който този папа да бил чужд, нито престъпление, с което да не се опетнил. Възкачен на папския престол с подкупни гласове, той царувал дванадесет години сред интриги, престъпления и разбойничество. Повече емисар на сатаната, отколкото викарий на Христа, превърнал Ватикана във вертеп, а престола на Св. Петър - в тържище, като по този начин проправил пътя за протестантската Реформация.За нас, навикнали на хули и венцехваления, Родриго Борджия бил крайно лош пастир на човешките души, но велик монарх. Нямал нито вяра, нито морал, или по-точно имал вярата и морала на онези времена, които не били времена на светци, а на жестоки пълководци и безскрупулни владетели. Използвал папската корона не за да прослави Бог и разпространи посланието Му сред хората, а да въздигне собствения си стръвен род и да даде държава на незаконнородения Чезаре. Безразличен към отвъдния свят, той насочил цялата си енергия към настоящия. Не винаги действал по съвест, проникнат от макиавелистичната максима, че целта оправдава средствата. Възвеличил името на рода си, но направил могъща и вдъхваща страхопочитание и Църквата: не духовната, чиито въжделения и потребности не познавал, а земната, на която, докато живял, бил всевластен господар и деспот.Обичал безпределно децата си, но не бил нито любовник на Лукреция - кротка, покорна и далеч не развратна жена, нито жертва на Чезаре, изпълнител на желанията му и най-облагодетелстван от политиката му.Когато напуснал този свят, амбициозната му мечта изтляла, но както писал Макиавели, „Църквата наследила делото му“.Ла Колета ди Кумиана, октомври 1976 - РОБЕРТО ДЖЕРВАЗО",127

He is awaiting the arrival of his wife, Rachael—still grieving for their eldest son—and their only surviving son, Edmund. But rather than force the owners of the house, a German widower and his rebellious daughter, out onto the streets, Lewis insists that the two families live together. In this charged atmosphere, both parents and children will be forced to confront their true selves as enmity and grief give way to passion and betrayal, to their deepest desires, their fiercest loyalties, and the transforming power of forgiveness.

The Almond Tree,Michelle Cohen Corasanti,4.16,Historical Fiction,"First published January 12, 2012","Against a background torn from the pages of today’s headlines, The Almond Tree, by Michelle Cohen Corasanti, recasts the Palestinians in Israel and Gaza, a people frequently in the news, but often misrepresented and deeply misunderstood. This stunning debut conveys a universal story of human courage and perseverance. Comparable to Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner, this novel delivers an inspirational story of unfathomable pain and an incredible perseverance. Gifted with a mind that continues to impress the elders in his village, Ahmed Hamid struggles with knowing that he can do nothing to save his friends and family. Living on occupied land, his entire village operates in fear of losing their homes, jobs, and belongings. But more importantly, they fear losing each other. On Ahmed’s twelfth birthday, that fear becomes reality. With his father imprisoned, his family’s home and possessions confiscated, and his siblings quickly succumbing to hatred in the face of conflict, Ahmed begins an inspiring journey using his intellect to save his poor and dying family. In doing so he reclaims a love for others that was lost through a childhood rife with violence and loss, and discovers a new hope for the future. The Almond Tree humanizes a culture and brings characters from a distant land to life. “Arguably the most important book of the year” Dream Crazy Book Reviews “The story is spell-binding with universal appeal and has potential of becoming an international best-seller and can do for Palestinians what The Kite Runner did for Afghanis” The Daily Star","7,377"

Come il vento tra i mandorli,Michelle Cohen Corasanti,4.16,Historical Fiction,"First published January 12, 2012","“Mi arrampicai sul nostro mandorlo: Abbas e io l’avevamo soprannominato Shahida, testimone, perché passavamo così tanto tempo tra i suoi rami a guardare gli arabi e gli ebrei che ormai era un compagno di giochi, e si meritava un nome. L’ulivo a sinistra di Shahida era Amal, speranza, e quello a destra era Sa’dah, felicità.” Palestina, metà degli anni cinquanta. Mentre il conflitto arabo-israeliano infiamma, Ichmad – dodici anni, un talento non comune per la matematica e un’ammirazione sconfinata per Albert Einstein – scopre per la prima volta cosa siano la violenza e la paura.

Whirlwind: War in the Pacific,Richard   Freeman,4.27,World War II,"First published July 8, 2013","In just six months, America turned the rout of Pearl Harbor into the victories of Coral Sea and Midway. Whirlwind: War in the Pacific tells the story of how America achieved this staggering turnaround using accounts of the three key Pacific battles of 1942.Pearl Harbor: Hinge of WarJust over seventy years ago the world witnessed one of the most audacious and villainous surprise attacks in history. While Tokyo and Washington talked peace, hundreds of Japanese war planes descended on the Sunday morning calm of Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. In less than 90 minutes four battleships were sunk, four more badly damaged and hundreds of American warplanes lay burnt out in tangled heaps on the runways.The story of the raid is one of Japanese military skill meeting American courage. As airfields and ships were attacked, as planes caught fire and ships capsized, the men of the army and navy heroically fought to save the planes, the ships and their compatriots. Coral Sea 1942After the devastating attack on Pearl Harbour, the Americans suffered setback after setback in the Pacific.In May 1942, the Japanese were poised to take Port Moresby in New Guinea. At all costs the Americans had to stop them. Admiral Frank Fletcher was dispatched with two aircraft carriers - Yorktown and Lexington - with orders to destroy the Japanese invasion force.The fate of the Pacific was in the balance. 'Coral Sea 1942' tells the dramatic story of that conflict. The great Coral Sea victory came at a price. Pilots died in dog-fights; crippled planes fell into the sea; damaged planes crashed onto carrier flight decks; and pilots found themselves stranded on remote islands.But the battle was an American triumph. Japan entered it as an aggressor at the peak of her imperial power. She left the battle with her dominance shattered.The tide had turned.MidwayNever was there a naval battle like Midway. It was fought at a place thousands of miles from land, by hundreds of planes over distances of hundreds of miles. It saw four massive Japanese aircraft carriers pitted against three similarly huge American carriers in a battle for domination of the Pacific.The battle is the story of the young Japanese empire seeking to challenge the established industrial power of America. Japan was ready to risk all in one mighty attempt to drive the United States Navy from the Pacific Ocean.The battle that followed raged over three days, full of set backs and disaster for each side. But Admirals Yamamoto and Nagumo had over-reached themselves and suffered the greatest naval defeat in history.America entered Midway on the defensive, still a hesitant participant in the war. She left the battle as the world’s first super power.'Whirlwind: War In The Pacific' is a brilliant narrative history of three of the crucial naval battles of the Second World War. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the period. Richard Freeman graduated in mathematics before following a career in distance education. He now writes on naval history. His other books include 'The Great Edwardian Naval Feud'.Endeavour Press is the UK's leading publisher of digital books.",339

The Tarishe Curse,Richelle E. Goodrich,4.71,N/A,"Published October 28, 2022","""Vengeance is a monster of appetite, forever bloodthirsty and never filled."" ~Richelle E. GoodrichTarishe is a modest village surrounded by fortress walls meant to keep out one thing: werewolves.

This full Tarishe moon never fails to herald the arrival of an entire pack of hairy beasts, drawn to the village like greedy dragons to golden treasure. It is difficult enough to protect a young family in this world of dangerous creatures, but such a feat proves near impossible when an old witch bent on vengeance casts a curse that manipulates both heart and mind. The battle for survival is not only with a sword but an internal struggle to love those the curse has targeted for hatred, and to hate the one who through evil enchantment manipulates her enemy’s affections. How long will it take to learn that the old monster, vengeance, is insatiable?This Tarishe tale is a thrilling piece of fiction told from the Queen of Werefolk's point of view.",7

But one day, death announces itself to him, and to his shocked surprise, he is brought face to face with his own mortality. How, Tolstoy asks, does an unreflective man confront his one and only moment of truth?This short novel was an artistic culmination of a profound spiritual crisis in Tolstoy's life, a nine-year period following the publication of Anna Karenina during which he wrote not a word of fiction.A thoroughly absorbing and, at times, terrifying glimpse into the abyss of death, it is also a strong testament to the possibility of finding spiritual salvation.","181,661"

A Princesa e o Sapo,Coleção Fábulas de Ouro,4.50,N/A,"First published January 1, 2000","Era uma vez um príncipe que foi enfeitiçado por uma velha corcunda e virou sapo, sendo então obrigado a deixar o castelo onde morava. Em busca de uma residência mais adequada à sua nova condição, acabou se estabelecendo no poço de um outro castelo, junto ao qual uma princesinha costumava brincar com sua bola de ouro. Um dia ela deixou a bola cair dentro do poço e o sapo se ofereceu para tirá-la de lá; em troca, a princesa teria de beijá-lo. Ela disse que aceitava e a história tem final feliz, como se sabe. Mas o caminho até ele não chega a ser cor-de-rosa, pois Will Eisner transforma esse conto de fadas num pequeno estudo da ironia. A graça maior de seus personagens talvez esteja no pragmatismo com que enfrentam as situações. A princesa, por exemplo, só dá um beijinho no sapo depois de muita repugnância, e ainda assim revela um prudente ceticismo ao vê-lo adquirir a forma humana: “Pode ser outro passe de mágica… E se você virar um cachorro ou um gato?”. Eisner consegue criar uma versão realmente nova para uma história que vem sendo contada há séculos.",2

Anyone who saw an episode of Saturday Night Live between 1999 and 2006 knows Rachel Dratch. She was hilarious! So what happened to her? After a misbegotten part as Jenna on the pilot of 30 Rock, Dratch was only getting offered roles as “Lesbians. Secretaries. Sometimes secretaries who are lesbians.”   Her career as a female comedian at a low point, she suddenly had time for yoga, dog-sitting, learning Spanish—and dating. Dratch reveals the joys and terrors of putting herself out there in a quest to find love and then becoming a mother in an undreamed-of way. With riotous humor, she recounts breaking the news to her bewildered parents, the awe of her single friends, and romance and coparenting with her baby-daddy, John.   Filled with great behind-the-scenes anecdotes from Dratch’s time on SNL, Girl Walks into a Bar . . . is a funny book with a refreshing version of the happily-ever-after story, full of sensitivity, candor, and plenty of comic relief, as only Rachel Dratch can tell it.","26,133"

Les croisés,Régine Pernoud,4.09,History,"First published January 1, 1959","There is no shortage of stories about the crusades, or of biographies of those who played the leading roles in this, the greatest epic of the Middle Ages. But there has been no book in which we could find, recreated, the way of life, the world view, the everyday social organization of those who tempted adventure. They were kings and paupers, barons, clerks, women, and merchants. Some were driven by their faith, others by the spirit of conquest, and some by a hunger for greatness and wealth. Régine Pernoud presents for us a living picture in which we can view, first hand, the awe of the Christians as they beheld the Muslim world, the myriad ordeals they sustained while traveling for years in unknown lands, and the remarkable way in which they managed to adapt, to colonize, to erect churches and fortresses, and to abide for centuries in the face of an adversary far greater in number. Here, an unrecognized page in our history finally reveals itself. A great historian and writer brings this colorful period alive. Régine Pernoud, a renowned French archivist and historian, is among the greatest medievalists of our times, and the success of her books has helped to bring the Middle Ages closer to us. Among her numerous works are Those Terrible Middle Ages! and Women in the Days of the Cathedrals.",43

El árbol del ahorcado y otros relatos de la Frontera,Dorothy M. Johnson,3.99,Westerns,"First published January 1, 1957","Tras la buena acogida de Indian Country, primer volumen de relatos de Dorothy M. Johnson y número uno de la colección Frontera, el catálogo de la colección se enriquece con esta nueva recopilación de historias de la autora de Montana. Mientras que en Indian Country predominan las historias sobre los indios norteamericanos y sus relaciones con los blancos, en El árbol del ahorcado y otros relatos de la Frontera tienen más presencia las historias que se hacen eco de otros mitos del Far West: forajidos, tahúres, saloons, vaqueros, predicadores, buscadores de oro, etc.Los relatos que componen el presente volumen fueron publicados por vez primera en revistas como Saturday Evening Post, Argosy, Collier’s o Cosmopolitan en los años cincuenta, y, salvo una excepción –La squaw de la manta (1942), un relato de los comienzos de su carrera–, son posteriores a los reunidos en Indian Country. Forman parte de esta recopilación relatos excelentes como La hermana perdida (1956), ganador del prestigioso premio Spur Award, Diario de aventura (1954) o El regalo junto a la carreta. Pero, sin duda, la estrella del volumen es El árbol del ahorcado, por calidad, por extensión y por la repercusión de la adaptación cinematográfica que realizó Delmer Daves en 1959, protagonizada por Gary Cooper, Maria Schell y Karl Malden. Como en Indian Country, son relatos descarnados, en los que todo queda a la vista. Su lenguaje es contundente, irónico y duro, con frases cortas y afiladas, que consiguen evocar un mundo que se fue para siempre.",192

Les croisades,Régine Pernoud,3.69,History,"First published January 1, 1960","Spanning a period of two hundred years, this book re-creates in dramatic, human terms all the pageantry, bloodshed, suffering and exaltation of the Crusades from Pope Urban's appeal at Clermont in 1095 to the fall of Acre in 1291.There has never been a popular book about the Crusades to match this volume in authenticity and human impact. History written long after the events is often given a romantic gloss and reflects the author's viewpoints and prejudice. This volume, however, is actually written by the men and women who were there--who lived and died during this turbulent era in history and observed or participated in its world-shaking events. Crusaders and Saracens tell in their own words, through letters and chronicles, what they saw and did during those two centuries of complex struggle and uneasy truces. In what they wrote is the immediacy of dispatches from the battlefield and the incomparably sharp detail and color that can be imparted only through eyewitness accounts.We read of the horrors of thirst and plague in besieged cities, of intrigue, treachery and parleys with the enemy. There are participants' accounts of military triumphs and disasters, stories of individual feats of arms, and examples of chivalry as well as of extreme cruelty and bloody slaughter on both sides. And there are vivid portraits of such leaders as Richard Couer de Lion and Saladin; of Saint Louis, who built the port of Aigues Mortes from which to sail to the Holy Land; of kings and sultans and emperors; of knights and their ladies; of peasants and warriors, heroes and villains.Compiled entirely from primary source materials, with lucid explanatory text weaving the diverse accounts into a unified narrative of all nine Crusades, this is a work of history that sparkles and lives--an invaluable book for the student and an exciting experience for every reader.",16

Cocaine Cowgirl: The Outrageous Life and Mysterious Death of Griselda Blanco,Jennie Erin Smith,3.17,True Crime,"First published September 23, 2013","Her real name was Griselda Blanco, but she was known by many other, more evocative names: Black Widow, the Godmother, La Madrina, Queenpin. For years she dominated the cocaine trade between South America and the United States as no woman ever had, ordering custom lingerie from Medellín tailors with hidden pockets for smuggling coke and sending fleets of women to America to deliver it. Rivaled in her ruthlessness only by her fellow Colombian and sworn enemy, Pablo Escobar, she left dozens of bodies in her wake. By the time of her death last year she was celebrated as one the most bloodthirsty female criminals in history. Immaculately coiffed and dripping with diamonds, Blanco ordered horrific hits, dispatching her enemies with bullets and bombs, and even a bayonet. She killed men, women, and, once, a small child. She also allegedly murdered—or ordered the murders of—her own husbands, her fellow partners in crime. After serving a prison term in the United States, Blanco returned to Colombia for what appeared to be a genteel retirement, right up to the moment she took a bullet in the head outside a butcher shop. Celebrated journalist Jennie Erin Smith was living in Medellín when Blanco was killed, and quickly immersed herself in the legend, unraveling the never-before-told story of the Godmother’s final years. As she ventures deeper into Griselda’s world, Smith stumbles into a possible solution to a crime that the local authorities appear to have little interest in investigating. In doing so, she puts herself directly in harm’s way. Did Blanco die in an act of long-deferred vengeance? Or were there other, stranger motives for her murder? “Cocaine Cowgirl” is brilliant storytelling—with an unnerving jolt of genuine fear. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jennie Erin Smith is the author of “Stolen World: A Tale of Reptiles, Smugglers, and Skulduggery” (Crown, 2011). She has written about science, natural history, and the environment, most recently for the “Times Literary Supplement,” “The New Yorker,” “McSweeney’s,” and “The Wall Street Journal.” She lives in Central America.",254

"Fairy Godmothers, Inc.",Jenniffer Wardell,3.66,Fantasy,"First published September 30, 2011","In a world where fairy tale situations are as much a fact of life as death and taxes, everyone knows hiring Fairy Godmothers, Inc. is the best way to assure that your beautiful daughter or enchanted frog of a grandson will get the happily-ever-after he or she deserves. Sure, sometimes a little love potion is required to make sure those quotas stay up, but what Prince Charming doesn’t know won’t hurt him. Kate, an experienced Fairy Godmother, who’s enough of a romantic to frustrate her rigidly rule-bound boss, has just received a specialty assignment from one of the company’s board of directors. Cinderella—Rellie for short—was placed with an appropriately wicked stepfamily years before, and now needs the dress, ball, and handsome prince to complete her happily-ever-after. The fact that Rellie isn’t sure this is her dream come true—balls are fun, but princes tend to be less interesting than fluffy bunnies—isn’t something management considers a problem.Complicating things a bit is Jon, the youngest son of the royal family, who meets Kate, and is smitten, but isn’t quite ready yet to reveal his true identity. After all, it’s his older brother Rupert who’s supposed to marry Rellie, which means pretending to be a lowly civil servant will give him the chance to spend more time with Kate. (As long as he can get the ball arranged, and stop Rupert from getting himself into trouble over his “self-actualization” business, he should have the perfect opportunity to explain everything and get started on making a little magic with the Fairy Godmother of his dreams.) But, of course, things never ever happen as planned.",392

Cuadernos,Simone Weil,4.55,Philosophy,N/A,"Simone Weil (1909-1943) was a defining figure of the twentieth century; a philosopher, Christian, resistance fighter, anarchist, feminist, labor activist and teacher. She was described by T. S. Eliot as ""a woman of genius, of a kind of genius akin to that of the saints,"" and by Albert Camus as ""the only great spirit of our time."" Originally published posthumously in two volumes, these newly reissued notebooks, are among the very few unedited personal writings of Weil's that still survive today. Containing her thoughts on art, love, science, God and the meaning of life, they give context and meaning to Weil's famous works, revealing a unique philosophy in development and offering a rare private glimpse of her singular personality.",119

L'ultimo arrivato, il caporalmaggiore Roberto Ietri, ha appena vent'anni e si sente inesperto in tutto. Per lui, come per molti altri, la missione in Afghanistan è la prima grande prova della vita. Al momento di partire, i protagonisti non sanno ancora che il luogo a cui verranno destinati è uno dei più pericolosi di tutta l'area del conflitto: la forward operating base (fob) Ice, nel distretto del Gulistan, ""un recinto di sabbia esposto alle avversità"", dove non c'è niente, soltanto polvere, dove la luce del giorno è così forte da provocare la congiuntivite e la notte non si possono accendere le luci per non attirare i colpi di mortaio. Ad attenderli laggiù, c'è il tenente medico Alessandro Egitto. È rimasto in Afghanistan, all'interno di quella precaria ""bolla di sicurezza"", di sua volontà, per sfuggire a una situazione privata che considera più pericolosa della guerra combattuta con le armi da fuoco. Sfiniti dal caldo, dalla noia e dal timore per una minaccia che appare ogni giorno più irreale, i soldati ricostruiscono dentro la fob la vita che conoscono, approfondiscono le amicizie e i contrasti fra loro, cercano distrazioni di ogni tipo e si lasciano andare a pericolosi scherzi camerateschi. Soltanto la notte, sdraiati sulle brande, vengono sorpresi dai ricordi. Nel silenzio assoluto, che è silenzio della civiltà ma anche della natura, riescono a sentire la pulsazione del proprio cuore, il ronzio degli altri organi interni - l'attività incessante del corpo umano. L'occasione in cui saranno costretti a addentrarsi in territorio nemico sarà anche quella in cui ognuno, all'improvviso, dovrà fare i conti con ciò che ha lasciato in sospeso in Italia. Al loro ritorno, avranno sorpassato irreversibilmente la linea che separa la giovinezza dall'età adulta.","3,853"

Escritos de Londres y últimas cartas,Simone Weil,4.20,Philosophy,N/A,"«Escritos en Londres y últimas cartas» recoge algunos de los textos que fueron escritos por Simone Weil en el último periodo de su vida, en la misma época que «Echar raíces», las «Notas escritas en Londres» (publicadas en «El conocimiento sobrenatural»), «La fuente griega» y «¿Hay una doctrina marxista?» (incluido en «Opresión y Libertad»). La gran parte de ellos son estudios redactados para los servicios de la Francia Libre y se refieren a la reorganización de su país tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Las cartas enviadas a sus padres están escritas desde el hospital donde fue ingresada. A estos estudios se unen fragmentos escritos en la misma época y que pertenecen en general al mismo tipo de reflexiones. Asimismo se añaden documentos que aclaran las circunstancias en las que Simone Weil dio forma a sus últimos pensamientos y otros textos de carácter más las «Últimas cartas». Las tres primeras cartas a Maurice Schumann y el «Proyecto de una formación de enfermeras de primera línea», enviadas desde Nueva York, antes de la llegada a Inglaterra de Simone Weil, contribuyen a hacer comprender a qué meta quería llegar y cuál era su estado espiritual. Las últimas cartas enviadas a sus padres están escritas desde el hospital donde fue ingresada en abril de 1943, aquejada de tuberculosis, enfermedad en la que recayó por la pesadumbre de no poder tener una misión activa en Francia.

America is no longer seen by its friends or enemies as the “land of the free and the home of the brave.” Washington bureaucrats are involved in every decision and political correctness rules the day. The country that used to, only a few short years ago, project its military might outward to the world, has had its own military forces striped to the bone. No service has felt this impact more than the United States Navy. With only a fraction of combat vessels left to patrol the world’s oceans and keep peace in the world, decisions are no longer based on safety and national security but by financial necessity.

Simone Pétrement fu sua amica, e ha pagato il debito all'amicizia, al 'miracolo dell'amicizia' così caro all'altra Simone, scrivendone una biografia bellissima, esemplare per onestà e precisione, per partecipe interrogazione sul senso e il mistero di una esperienza eccezionale"" (Goffredo Fofi).",92
David Jason: My Life,David  Jason,4.27,Biography,"First published October 1, 2013","The long-awaited autobiography of one of Britain's best-loved actors.Born the son of a Billingsgate market porter at the height of the Second World War, David Jason spent his early life dodging bombs and bullies, both with impish good timing.Giving up on an unloved career as an electrician, he turned his attention to acting and soon, through a natural talent for making people laugh, found himself working with the leading lights of British comedy in the 1960s and '70s: Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Bob Monkhouse and Ronnie Barker.Barker would become a mentor to David, leading to hugely successful stints in Porridge and Open All Hours. It wasn't until 1981, kitted out with a sheepskin jacket, a flat cap, and a clapped-out Reliant Regal, that David found the part that would capture the nation's hearts: the beloved Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter in Only Fools and Horses.Never a one-trick pony, he had an award-winning spell as TV's favourite detective Jack Frost, took a country jaunt as Pop Larkin in the Darling Buds of May, and even voiced a crime-fighting cartoon rodent in the much-loved children's show Danger Mouse.But life hasn't all been so easy: from missing out on a key role in Dad's Army to nearly drowning in a freak diving accident, David has had his fair share of ups and downs, and has lost some of his nearest and dearest along the way.David's is a touching, funny and warm-hearted story, which charts the course of his incredible five decades at the top of the entertainment business. He's been a shopkeeper and a detective inspector, a crime-fighter and a market trader, and he ain't finished yet. As Del Boy would say, it's all cushty. With an introduction narrated by David himself.","2,755"

On Sophistical Refutations,Aristotle,3.75,Philosophy,"First published January 1, 348","On Sophistical Refutations is a book written by Aristotle, a Greek philosopher who lived in the 4th century BCE. The book is a treatise on the topic of logical fallacies and sophisms, which are arguments that appear to be valid but are actually false or misleading. In the book, Aristotle identifies and analyzes various types of fallacies, such as equivocation, amphiboly, and false cause, and provides examples of each. He also discusses the ways in which these fallacies can be used to deceive people and undermine the truth. The book is considered an important work in the field of logic and rhetoric, and has influenced subsequent thinkers in these fields. It is also notable for its clear and concise style, which makes it accessible to readers of all levels of expertise.First we must grasp the number of aims entertained by those who argue as competitors and rivals to the death. These are five in number, refutation, fallacy, paradox, solecism, and fifthly to reduce the opponent in the discussion to babbling-i.e. to constrain him to repeat himself a number of or it is to produce the appearance of each of these things without the reality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A la espera de Dios,Simone Weil,4.17,Philosophy,N/A,"«La profondità del pensiero di Simone Weil si espone, completamente denudata, in queste pagine che sono una sorta di confessione, un flusso di coscienza che da personale diventa universale e non smette di interrogare chiunque - credente o meno - si trovi a fare i conti con la percezione della propria fragilità e, insieme, abbia fatto almeno una volta esperienza della violenza del bello, della prepotenza del vero, dello squarcio che il bene produce in noi.

La fuente griega,Simone Weil,3.93,N/A,"First published January 1, 1953","Uma boa desculpa para passar ao lado de livros sobre a Cultura Clássica é dizer que não se sabe grego antigo, que são coisas para especialistas, que já passaram milhares de anos. A desculpa resume-se numa frase: “Essas coisas já não nos dizem nada”. Não anda longe dessa ideia Simone Weil quando constata que: “Os belos poemas [que se escreviam na Grécia] já só são lidos por pessoas que se especializam nesse estudo, e é pena que assim seja. Porque esses velhos poemas (...) podem interessar toda a gente. Seriam até bem mais comoventes para o comum dos homens, os que sabem o que é lutar e sofrer, do que para as pessoas que passaram a vida entre as quatro paredes de uma biblioteca"". A fonte grega reúne ensaios, artigos e comentários a mais de dez autores gregos. O mais antigo destes textos foi escrito em 1939; todos os outros foram escritos nos quatro anos seguintes. Na sua maioria, o que aqui se colige são anotações sobre a Grécia Antiga redigidas em cadernos, durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, por uma mulher judia que viveu a Guerra na primeira pessoa: para além da fuga para a América, em 1942, fugindo ao extermínio nazi, à data da sua morte, em 1943, a pacifista Simone Weil – que combatera junto dos republicanos, sem empunhar armas, na Guerra Civil de Espanha – integrava o gabinete da Resistência Francesa, em Londres. É justamente neste volume que se encontra uma das maiores obras-primas alguma vez escritas sobre a Ilíada de Homero (o ensaio A Ilíada ou o poema da força), texto que reflecte precisamente sobre o lugar da guerra e da força no poema e na vida. Por todas estas razões, será fácil adivinhar a única pergunta que há a fazer: Será que estas coisas já não nos dizem nada?",40
La condición obrera,Simone Weil,3.36,Philosophy,"First published January 1, 1951","Resultado de su experiencia de “proletarización” en las fábricas Alsthom y Renault durante los años 1934/35, este libro reúne los escritos políticos y filosóficos de Simone Weil sobre la cuestión obrera.En un marco de reflexión más amplio que el trazado por las filosofías del trabajo que la precedieron, Simone Weil considera que es posible hacer la experiencia de una actividad metódica, provista de significación espiritual, en la esfera del trabajo socialmente necesario. Tal es su originalidad con respecto a Marx, que concebía a la vez como una necesidad histórica y como un fin deseable, una humanidad que se emancipara del trabajo y no solamente en el trabajo. Simone Weil es sin duda quien ha llevado más lejos la reflexión filosófica y espiritual sobre las condiciones más favorables, en la organización del trabajo, para las más elevadas operaciones del espíritu, ya sean discursivas o intuitivas. Si su pensamiento sobre el lugar de trabajo es invalorable, es porque ninguna filosofía antes de ella había concedido una primacía tal a la actividad laboral, al punto que una vez realizada en la sociedad la forma metódica y no servil de esta actividad, sus leyes y sus virtudes podrían ser traspuestas al dominio político y al dominio espiritual.",308

Išsilavinęs žmogus, kaip aktyvus visuomenės dalyvis, ėmė ieškoti egzistencijos prasmės naujoje situacijoje. Romane Čiapajevas ir Pustota V. Pelevinas atvaizduoja sudėtingą intelektualo paieškų kelią ir įvardina jį kaip visišką tuštumą, kurioje atsidūrė visa šalis. Atrodytų, kad laikotarpio po Perestroikos rusų kultūrinės realijos lietuviui skaitytojui turėtų būti lengvai atpažįstamos. Tačiau rašytojų kūryba, aptariama svetimos kultūros diskurse, ne tik atskleidžia užkoduotas reikšmes, bet ir kuria naujas. V. Pelevino proza jau rado savo gerbėjus Lietuvoje. Tai vienas iš nedaugelio rusų rašytojų, kuriam pavyko pelnyti skaitytojų simpatijas mūsų šalyje. Pasikeitus politinei situacijai, Lietuvoje keitėsi ir literatūrinės tendencijos. Sovietmečiu grožinė rusų literatūra užėmė tvirtas pozicijas knygų leidyboje. 2007 m. statistiniais duomenimis jai tenka penkta vieta, po amerikiečių, anglų, vokiečių ir prancūzų verstinės literatūros.Laikotarpis, kurio įvykiais paremtas V. Pelevino tekstas Čiapajevas ir Pustota, apima Sovietinės Rusijos istoriją nuo bolševikų įsigalėjimo po Spalio revoliucijos iki šių dienų prokomunistinės Rusijos. Tikėtino išsamaus komunistinės ideologijos išdėstymo šiame kūrinyje nėra. Postmodernizmo filosofijoje tradicinę „istorijos“ sąvoką pakeitė „postistorijos“ terminas, suponuojantis naują žvilgsnį į socialinius procesus. Atmetama linijinė socialinė dinamika ir linijinis vyksmas. Postmodernizmas neigia dabarties naujumo galimybę. Derėtų paminėti, kad rusų postmodernizmo autoriai dvejopai interpretuoja istorinę problematiką: vieni ieško giminystės tarp sovietinės istorijos mitų ir bet kurio laikmečio bandymų sutvarkyti istoriją, kiti išeina už sovietinio pasaulio ribų, tyrinėja istorijos absurdiškumo, istorinės tiesos galimumo / negalimumo klausimą.","6,890"

Simone Weil. La Conciencia Del Dolor Y De La Belleza,Emilia Bea,3.74,N/A,N/A,"La presencia de Simone Weil en el panorama filosófico, literario y cultural ha ido en aumento en los últimos años. Su vida y su obra, dotadas de extraordinaria pureza y autenticidad, son objeto de admiración no exenta de crítica. La mayoría de sus lectores manifiestan haberse visto atraídos por un impulso interior que les ha permitido afrontar el riesgo que se corre al acercarse a sus escritos: el riesgo de desmontar todos los planteamientos y poner en cuestión todas las creencias. Pues el contacto con el pensamiento de Simone Weil produce una sacudida que sitúa ante el lugar incierto y peligroso que ella consideraba patrimonio exclusivo de los desheredados, con los que quiso identificarse plenamente en su sed inagotable de verdad. Simone Weil vivió en ese límite de la lucidez y la locura, ya que no quería para sí una cordura al precio de la indiferencia, la mentira y la incoherencia. A su juicio, sólo una santidad genial, absolutamente nueva y vibrante, podría servir aún de revulsivo para transformar un mundo dominado por la fuerza e insensible ante el dolor y la belleza. Los trabajos reunidos en este libro pretenden proporcionar claves de lectura de la obra de Simone Weil desde un punto de vista plural y atendiendo a la diversidad de sus temas: desde los elementos de una filosofía del trabajo, de una filosofía política e, incluso, jurídica, hasta los aspectos místicos, religiosos y espirituales. Pero, más allá de esta pluralidad, aspiran a ir a lo esencial: a esos tesoros de oro puro que ella creía depositados por error en su pensamiento.",19

Buddhadasa Bhikkhu makes the case for dependent coarising as a natural law, and builds a compelling presentation of Buddhist philosophy, meditation, and practice from there on up. Basing himself squarely on the Buddha’s own words as preserved in the Pali Canon, he brings clarity and simplicity to what is typically a thorny philosophical knot. By returning dependent coarising to its central place in Buddhist theory and practice, Buddhadasa provides perspective on the Buddha’s own insights and awakening.

When you add in the mysterious vampire that comes and goes as he pleases and the territorial werewolf that keeps showing up at the worst time imaginable, this semester at Covenant College is exactly the opposite of what Zoe expected – and more importantly, wanted.Of course, things can always get worse. As the disappearances multiply, and more information about Zoe’s true nature comes to light, the true test for Zoe might be whether or not she can survive until summer vacation.Warning: These characters are a little snarky and sarcastic. It’s not for everyone.","1,800"

She is plump, socially inept, loves dogs and horses, and wishes wistfully for a quiet and modest country life. Dolph Becker is the answer to a prayer, for he offers all that … but the price for escape from a gilded world of privilege and the casual malice of her mother and Society … is to marry a man she barely knows, and follow him to Texas.Accompanying Isobel on the journey to her new home in Texas is Jane Goodacre, her personal maid and confidant. Jane, the daughter of a small country shop-keeper, also has ambitions – and talents that she hardly suspects.

李小龍 生活的藝術家,李小龍,4.00,N/A,"First published November 1, 2010",多年來，李小龍因精湛的武藝而聞名於世，《李小龍：生活的藝術家》卻告訴我們他的另一面。李小龍不僅是詩人、哲學家、科學家（身體和思想的科學家），而且還是一個演員。不僅身兼製片人、導演、作家、舞蹈編導、武術家的角色，而且還是丈夫、父親以及朋友。他把全部身心都投入到生活中去，以致任何在螢幕上或現實中認識他的人，都會被他的魅力所吸引。李小龍的求知慾極強，涉獵大量書籍，且經常反覆思考其中的觀點，將東西方最敏銳的思想融為一爐，形成他獨一無二的自我發現的哲學。本書精選了李小龍撰寫的一些文章、詩歌、信函，還特意挑選部份文章的不同改稿，讓讀者透過時空了解到他的心路歷程，想法如何逐漸演變而成、步向成熟、付諸實行。從這些信函裏，我們可以窺見到一個真實的李小龍。「李小龍是一位非常有學問的人，從不放過任何一個機會，讓一個事實式情境教曉他更好地認識自己。作為一名讀書人，他能運用知識學問進行反思，使智慧成為修身養性的工具。作為一位哲人，他能將自己的具體藝術真諦更廣泛地運用於現實生活的各個方面，真實地活著。李小龍的真正超凡特點是，將所學的內在化或生活化時，能同時傳達他的學習過程，無論他是在教學、表演、寫作還是說話，他都能展示自我發現的個人之路。就像他所說的，他在武術和電影中的形象，都是『簡單而誠實地反映他』。從表面上看，這是一種個人魅力，而從深一層的角度來看，這種能裸露靈魂的魄力堪稱藝術之魂。就像米高安哲羅從一堆大理石中雕琢出大衛，而李小龍就是一個活生生的大衛，敞開內心靈魂的層層外衣，向世界展示真我。」──蓮達（李小龍遺孀）,2

After having arrested desperado, Wild Juan Espinoza, Jonas Cane, Deputy U.S. Marshal and town marshal for Bisbee, must face a horror more sinister than the sadist that tortured and killed the men and women of the Roeter ranch. Cane must face the evil that lurks beneath the surface of malicious fiends and murderers. Cane requests another Deputy U.S. Marshal from Tucson, but will another territorial marshal be able to help? Will it be a matter of numbers or a matter of shear nerve? Will good triumph over evil? Will Bisbee, Arizona survive? While keeping you on the edge of your seat, this western horror thriller will takes aim at applying historical accuracy through fictitious license in tying in well-known figures of the American west, as well more famous events, such as the Tombstone, Arizona gunfight at the O. K. Corral. Check Out the First Book in the Series, ""Jonas Cane, U.S. Marshal: Bloodlust"" [WARNING: Contains graphic horror and language not suitable for children under 18 years of age]",4
Operation Bourbon,Iain Parke,4.34,N/A,"First published October 1, 2013","""Then he said the words that we’d all been dreading to hear, We’ve got a rat."" Targeting the Rebels MC, at a staggering twenty-four years total length, Operation Bourbon was the longest running police undercover and infiltration mission ever conducted in the UK. Now for the first time the story of the operation can be told based on Iain Parke’s extensive conversations with the officer involved, together with extracts from police files and surveillance materials, as well as never before seen interviews with club members and associates, and sections of club documentation showing how the club was set up and run. The result is an astonishing tale of fundamental betrayals at every level, as both bikers and police are forced to ask themselves who they can really trust. As a result, Operation Bourbon opens the books both on club business, and on police undercover operations, in a way never before seen in the UK.",32

This books seeks to rebut that presumption.The question sounds trite and unoriginal, but at the heart of it, it haunts and baffles us, because we know that when we get a deeper understanding of what we may conceive as our personal answers to it, we will be led closer to how we want and ought to love, and how we may want to receive it from others.Taken from perspectives spanning that of a critical 12-year old boy's raw conception of what true love requires of us, to that of a 30-year old man's distilled and novel proposition that love enables lovers to travel not only space, but also time.They say there are as many kinds of love as there are people who love and are loved.

With science as the new savior, man­kind believed himself to be creating new Edens in the far flung heavens.But God kept His promise. The day of Rapture came.Those who walked the Earth with a righteous spirit and pure soul were taken into the loving arms of the Lord.

Tame Geometry with Application in Smooth Analysis,Yosef Yomdin,0.00,N/A,"First published January 23, 2004","The Morse-Sard theorem is a rather subtle result and the interplay between the high-order analytic structure of the mappings involved and their geometry rarely becomes apparent. The main reason is that the classical Morse-Sard theorem is basically qualitative. This volume gives a proof and also an ""explanation"" of the quantitative Morse-Sard theorem and related results, beginning with the study of polynomial (or tame) mappings. The quantitative questions, answered by a combination of the methods of real semialgebraic and tame geometry and integral geometry, turn out to be nontrivial and highly productive. The important advantage of this approach is that it allows the separation of the role of high differentiability and that of algebraic geometry in a smooth all the geometrically relevant phenomena appear already for polynomial mappings. The geometric properties obtained are ""stable with respect to approximation"", and can be imposed on smooth functions via polynomial approximation.",0

Così gli spunti, i pensieri, gli eventi di cui il libro formicola, si raccolgono in quattro taccuini, di cui quello d'oro rappresenta un po' la quintessenza: e il loro insieme dà luogo a una narrazione distesa e insieme concentrata e intesa, a una panoramica della vita di una donna intensamente partecipe del nostro tempo. E nel libro c'è un po' di tutto: la minaccia atomica, i rifugiati politici nell'Africa Centrale, le barriere razziali, i rapporti dei genitori coi figli, spesso singolarmente conformisti e mancati suicidi, l'industria culturale, i rapporti degli uomini con gli uomini in un'atmosfera di fluttuante omosessualità, i rapporti delle donne con le donne, vagamente ambigui, e specialmente delle donne con gli uomini... e molte altre cose.","23,649"

But this is easier said than done. Capital is Marx s magnum opus consisting of more than 2,000 pages, over three volumes. It is a masterpiece of analysis, of relentlessly methodical and logical reasoning. So is Capital only for the expert? No. Capital can be read and understood by beginners as well, provided they are guided into it. Which is exactly what this volume does. Seven leading Marxist scholars lay out the conceptual framework of Capital as well as investigate its various themes in essays written specially for this Reader. Moreover, each of the authors has taken care to not limit him/herself to only preliminary explication of concepts, and has also gone into matters of advanced theory. The volume as a whole also has a broadly similar trajectory the first couple of essays lay the foundation, the middle four essays graduate from basic concepts to theoretical discussion and debates, and the last essay does not go into basic concepts at all, but applies the method of Capital to theorise about contemporary capitalism. This introductory Reader, then, does two it equips new readers with the basic conceptual keys that could unlock the vast treasure trove of Marx s analysis and insights, as well as offering fresh insights into Marx s magnificent work to the initiated.",4

A new book helps bust the myths of corporate financing and offers young entrepreneurs the tools and know-how to buy or start a business without using any of their own money.“The American Dream: How do you buy or start a business with none of your own cash”, by Dan Amzallag, uses real-world case studies and anecdotes to illustrate the strategies and resources required for business innovators to accomplish this objective. In addition, the book offers insights into the three key strategies necessary to purchase and start a business, including:•Self-confidence in approaching sellers, bankers and government agencies•Understanding of the seller’s perspective to better negotiate a purchase•Knowledge of business concepts and how to apply themThe book explores options from acquisitions and takeovers using leverage to buy the business to understanding the seller’s behavior during negotiation. For example:• How to use credit card to pay “down payments”,• How to use the business's own receivables, either by borrowing against them from a bank or selling them, can bring in the cash you need for your down payment to the seller• How to use negotiating techniques to close the deals on great terms.“Many young entrepreneurs have the business ideas and know-how but not the financial acumen required to start up a business and live their dream,” said author Dan Amzallag. “My book uses simple terms that anyone can understand, regardless of whether they have an MBA or just a great idea. As a result, readers gain the tools and knowledge to become their own boss.”Dan Amzallag has an MBA from the University of Texas and 8 years of experience as an entrepreneur and financial executive. “The American Dream: How do you buy or start a business with none of your own cash”, began as a thesis for his degree and evolved based on his own experience and insights gleaned from other entrepreneurs, consultants and financial experts.",1

"Phlebotomy to the Point: Phlebotomy skills instruction, circulatory system anatomy and physiology, medical legal considerations, phlebotomy terminology",Thomas Watters,0.00,N/A,"First published February 14, 2013","Too often books on technical subjects are so bogged down in heavy, inflated verbiage that only trained professionals have a clue as to what the texts are saying. It is almost as if writers are trying to exclude those not yet trained or merely interested in the subject from gaining an understanding of the subject. Now, for the trained and untrained alike, Thomas John Watters has created the book to change that paradigm for phlebotomy—forever. Inspired by what he perceived as a lack of proper training in professionals and students alike, Watters decided to create a phlebotomy reference text that emphasizes the discipline’s core requirements and skills. Covering all of the basics in clear, concise language that is both accessible and highly informative, he presents the essential skills that are required to effectively, properly, and safely perform this job function at the highest level. From the history of phlebotomy, clinical laboratory divisions, and laboratory quality assurance to vascular system anatomy and physiology, first-aid-related issues, and performing venipunctures and capillary punctures, his text runs the gamut, covering the basics with a precision and thoroughness never before seen in a book of its kind.Geared to an individual either going through technical training or who has completed technical training and is looking for a refresher or reorientation of technical hands-on skills, Watters’s book teaches the fundamentals on how to avoid common errors and practice sound, highly professional phlebotomy. A necessity for every technical school’s resource library, Phlebotomy to the Point: Phlebotomy Skills Instruction, Circulatory System Anatomy and Physiology, Medical Legal Consideration, Phlebotomy Terminology is also the ultimate desktop reference tool for every student and practitioner of phlebotomy.",0

The Homework Myth: Why Our Kids Get Too Much of a Bad Thing,Alfie Kohn,3.95,Education,"First published August 21, 2006","Death and taxes come later; what seems inevitable for children is the idea that, after spending the day at school, they must then complete more academic assignments at home. The predictable stress and conflict, frustration and exhaustion. Parents respond by reassuring themselves that at least the benefits outweigh the costs. But what if they don't? In The Homework Myth, nationally known educator and parenting expert Alfie Kohn systematically examines the usual defenses of homework--that it promotes higher achievement, ""reinforces"" learning, and teaches study skills and responsibility. None of these assumptions, he shows, actually passes the test of research, logic, or experience. So why do we continue to administer this modern cod liver oil -- or even demand a larger dose? Kohn's incisive analysis reveals how a mistrust of children, a set of misconceptions about learning, and a misguided focus on competitiveness have all left our kids with less free time and our families with more conflict. Pointing to parents who have fought back -- and schools that have proved educational excellence is possible without homework -- Kohn shows how we can rethink what happens during and after school in order to rescue our families and our children's love of learning.","1,024"

Rethinking Homework: Best Practices That Support Diverse Needs,Cathy Vatterott,3.68,Education,"First published September 9, 2001","Is homework an essential component of rigorous schooling or a harmful practice that alienates and discourages a significant number of students? The debate over homework has gone on for decades, but schools and families have changed in many ways, and, as author Cathy Vatterott notes, ""There's a growing suspicion that something is wrong with homework."" Rethinking Best Practices That Support Diverse Needs examines the role homework has played in the culture of schooling over the years; how such factors as family life, the media, and the ""balance movement"" have affected the homework controversy; and what research--and educators' common sense--tells us about the effects of homework on student learning. The best way to address the pro- and anti-homework controversy is not to eliminate homework. Instead, the author urges educators to replace the ""old paradigm"" (characterized by longstanding cultural beliefs, moralistic views, the puritan work ethic, and behaviorist philosophy) with a ""new paradigm"" based on the following * Designing quality homework tasks;* Differentiating homework tasks;* Deemphasizing grading of homework;* Improving homework completion; and* Implementing homework strategies and support programs.Numerous examples from teachers and schools that have revised their practices and policies for homework illustrate the new paradigm in action. The end product is homework that works--for all students, at all levels.",268

Unspirituality: Permission to Be Human,Christopher  Loren,4.31,N/A,"First published August 7, 2013","Unspirituality removes the delusion of the spiritual self and its story. Childhood suppression is at the seat of religious and spiritual delusion which becomes the arena for the retrieval of a shamed imagination. Unspirituality strips away centuries of delusion. The spiritual story was once an answer to the anxieties of the natural world, but now has become a colorful cage in which humans are trapped. It is an insidious trance that has perpetuated needless suffering for our species up to the modern day. We have been led to look in the wrong direction. We have been bamboozled, beguiled, betrayed. We have been cheated for far too long. We have been led to believe our enemy lies ""out there."" We have been led to ""believe."" Our plight lies in the emotional investment of our identification with the image. I predict an awakening on this planet of epic proportions, where the realization of this conspiracy will spring to life. I see the long hardened road of religious and spiritual delusion coming to an abrupt end, like a domino effect, cascading across the globe. Our species is angry on a deep level. We know something has been wrong for a long time. We are tired of being thrown the scraps. This is primal, guttural; the scream of an exhausted humanity who will not take no for an answer. Who refuse to be duped any longer. It is the voice of reason and the shout of change! This book is a reminder of who we are in the natural world and a call to stand up and be proud to be human without the spiritual story.",13

"The Outer Limits of Reason: What Science, Mathematics, and Logic Cannot Tell Us",Noson S. Yanofsky,4.02,Science,"First published January 1, 2013","Many books explain what is known about the universe. This book investigates what cannot be known. Rather than exploring the amazing facts that science, mathematics, and reason have revealed to us, this work studies what science, mathematics, and reason tell us cannot be revealed. In ""The Outer Limits of Reason,"" Noson Yanofsky considers what cannot be predicted, described, or known, and what will never be understood. He discusses the limitations of computers, physics, logic, and our own thought processes.Yanofsky describes simple tasks that would take computers trillions of centuries to complete and other problems that computers can never solve; perfectly formed English sentences that make no sense; different levels of infinity; the bizarre world of the quantum; the relevance of relativity theory; the causes of chaos theory; math problems that cannot be solved by normal means; and statements that are true but cannot be proven. He explains the limitations of our intuitions about the world -- our ideas about space, time, and motion, and the complex relationship between the knower and the known.Moving from the concrete to the abstract, from problems of everyday language to straightforward philosophical questions to the formalities of physics and mathematics, Yanofsky demonstrates a myriad of unsolvable problems and paradoxes. Exploring the various limitations of our knowledge, he shows that many of these limitations have a similar pattern and that by investigating these patterns, we can better understand the structure and limitations of reason itself. Yanofsky even attempts to look beyond the borders of reason to see what, if anything, is out there.",970

Bolest kao govor duše,Ruediger Dahlke,4.11,Health,"First published January 1, 1992","Nastavak knjige Bolest kao put, najvažnijeg dela iz oblasti psihosomatske medicine.Deset godina nakon prvog izdanja knjige Bolest kao put došlo je vreme za nastavak i proširenje tema koje su opisane u toj knjizi. Činjenica da je taj pristup odmah naišao na veliki odziv – u početku pre svega kod zainteresovanih laika, a u međuvremenu sve više u stručnim medicinskim krugovima, bila je znak sve veće potrebe za razumevanjem bolesti kao posledice nesklada ravnoteže tela i duha. Poznati lekar i psihoterapeut doktor Ridiger Dalke svojim bestselerima bitno je doprineo novom razumevanju bolesti kao posledice psihosomatskih procesa. On bolest shvata kao priliku da se ponovo uspostavi trajna harmonija tela i duše. Bolest kao govor duše je dopuna i nadogradnja prvenca Bolest kao put (pisanog zajedno s Torvaldom Detlefsenom) i u njoj je opisano mnoštvo (kliničkih) slika bolesti. Za čitaoca knjiga je sredstvo da razume jezik tela, da tumači svoje simptome i poveže ih s duševnim uzrocima.Ko svoje simptome shvati kao smislenu poruku i podsticaj da nešto nauči, za njega suština lečenja nije u njihovom odstranjivanju. Suština je u promeni duševnog stanja čiji je nužan izraz simptom. Takav pristup bolesti pospešuje lični razvoj i ponovo uspostavlja sveobuhvatnu harmoniju, a trajno oduzima osnov za postojanje simptoma.",76

Al scheidde een enorme waterplas de vijandelijke legers, toch was het allesbehalve een vredige streek.Zo vielen de Belgen herhaaldelijk voorposten aan die Duitse marinesoldaten in de ruïnes van de hoger gelegen boerderijen hadden ingericht. Aan de hand van getuigenissen en officiële legerverslagen laat de auteur zien hoe de raids voorbereid en uitgevoerd werden. Zo’n aanval op een vooruitgeschoven post, die meestal ’s nachts na voorbereidend artillerievuur plaatsvond, was een gevaarlijke onderneming. De soldaten moesten eerst over een modderig terrein zonder dekking, over beken en grachten, en over velden die een halve meter of meer onder water stonden om vervolgens op hardnekkige weerstand te botsen van Duitsers die met machinegeweren in betonnen schuilplaatsen verscholen zaten. Soms lukte het om de vijand te verdrijven of krijgsgevangen te nemen, doch lang duurde een overwinning nooit. De gevechten om de voorposten, door de Duitsers ook “drijvende doodskisten” genoemd, hielden dan ook tot het einde van de oorlog aan. De auteur belicht tevens de inzet van Franse en Britse troepen rond Nieuwpoort en Lombardsijde, zoals de Britse gasaanval van oktober 1916 en de operatie Strandfest van juli 1917. In een apart hoofdstuk focust hij op de indrukwekkende Duitse bunkers en verdedigingswerken. Sommige herinneren vandaag nog in het landschap aan het oorlogsgeweld.",1

The Road Out of Hell: Sanford Clark and the True Story of the Wineville Murders,Anthony Flacco,4.11,True Crime,"First published January 1, 2009","""And you wonder: How the hell did this guy go on to be a loving father and grandfather? How did he bury all that crap? That's a story in itself."" -- Clint Eastwood, director: The ChangelingThe film story of young Sanford Clark and his forced participation in the Wineville Murders was covered in Clint Eastwood's movie, ""The Changeling,"" but for answers to the questions Eastwood posed after completing the project, turn to the true story of the Wineville murders: Anthony Flacco's The Road Out Of Hell. The hell part isn't what makes the story important; it's the road out that does.From 1926 to 1928, Gordon Stewart Northcott committed at least 20 murders on a chicken ranch outside of Los Angeles. His nephew, Sanford Clark, was held captive there from the age of 13 to 15, and was the sole surviving victim of the killing spree. Here, acclaimed crime writer Anthony Flacco—using never-before-heard information from Sanford’s son Jerry Clark—tells the real story behind the case that riveted the nation. Forced by Northcott to take part in the murders, Sanford carried tremendous guilt all his life. Yet despite his youth and the trauma, he helped gain some justice for the dead and their families by testifying at Northcott’s trial–which led to his conviction and execution. It was a shocking story, but perhaps the most shocking part of all is the extraordinarily ordinary life Clark went on to live as a decorated WWII vet, a devoted husband of 55 years, a loving father, and a productive citizen.In dramatizing one of the darkest cases in American crime, Flacco constructs a riveting psychological drama about how Sanford was able to detoxify himself from the evil he’d encountered, offering the ultimately redemptive story of one man’s remarkable ability to survive a nightmare and emerge intact.","3,071"

Thật vậy, trong hai phóng sự Cơm thầy cơm cô và Cạm bẫy người, tác giả Vũ Trọng Phụng đã thành công trong việc thể hiện tài năng nghệ thuật của mình. Với lối văn sắc sảo, cay độc mang tính chất châm biếm, đoạn trích ở hai chương phóng sự này giàu tính giá trị nghệ thuật đặc sắc tạo cho người đọc cuốn vào những diễn biến của tác phẩm.",110
New Forms of Worker Organization: The Syndicalist and Autonomist Restoration of Class Struggle Unionism,Immanuel Ness,4.14,Labor,"First published January 1, 2014","Bureaucratic labor unions are under assault throughout the world. Most unions have surrendered the achievements of the mid-twentieth century, when the working class was a militant force for change throughout the world. The decline of labor unions has exposed workers throughout the world to capitalist absolutism, where trade unions are unable to defend workers’ interests.As unions implode and weaken, workers are independently forming their own unions, rooted in the tradition of syndicalism and autonomism—and unions rooted in the tradition of self-directed action are auguring a new period of class struggle throughout the world. In Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe, workers are rejecting leaders and forming authentic class-struggle unions rooted in sabotage, direct action, and striking to achieve concrete gains.This is the first book to compile workers struggles on a global basis, examining the formation and expansion of radical unions in the Global South and Global North. The tangible evidence marshaled in this book serves as a handbook for understanding the formidable obstacles and concrete opportunities for workers challenging neoliberal capitalism, even as the unions of the old decline and disappear.Contributors include Au Loong-Yu, Bai Ruixue, Arup K.

La filosofia nell'epoca tragica dei Greci e Scritti dal 1870 al 1873,Friedrich Nietzsche,4.09,Philosophy,"First published January 1, 1873","Negli anni 1870-1873, fra i più creativi di Nietzsche, incontriamo una continua oscillazione fra il filosofo, il filologo, il polemista e il poeta. Partecipe di tutti questi volti è un ambizioso, grandioso progetto, rimasto incompiuto: questa Filosofia nell’epoca tragica dei Greci, che è il primo esempio di quell’approccio del tutto personale ai pensatori, da essere singolare a esseri singolari, che poi resterà caratteristico di Nietzsche. La brusca novità, il carattere provocatorio di tale impresa non potrebbero essere illustrati meglio che dalle parole poste da Nietzsche stesso in margine al testo: «Questo tentativo di raccontare la storia dei filosofi greci più antichi si distingue da altri tentativi simili per la sua brevità. Questa è stata raggiunta col ricordare, a proposito di ogni filosofo, soltanto un numero assai ristretto di dottrine, ossia con l’incompletezza. Sono state scelte tuttavia le dottrine in cui vibra ancora nel modo più forte l’elemento personale di un filosofo: per contro un’enumerazione completa di tutte le possibili dottrine tramandate, secondo l’uso dei manuali, ha in ogni caso il risultato di ridurre al silenzio l’elemento personale. Perciò sono talmente noiose quelle esposizioni: in sistemi che sono confutati può difatti interessarci ormai soltanto l’elemento personale, poiché questo è l’aspetto eternamente inconfutabile. Con l’aiuto di tre aneddoti, si può fornire l’immagine di un uomo: in ogni sistema io cerco di mettere in luce tre aneddoti, e getto via il resto».","1,215"

Tales of Glory: The Stories Icons Tell,Matthew W. Gaul,5.00,N/A,"First published October 1, 2013","Long before the advent of multimedia, before television and moving pictures and graphic news in real-time, the Eastern Church taught and prayed with sacred pictures. These pictures are known as “icons.” The Greek Rite of the Church is a living treasure of worship. The book you hold in your hands is an exposition of that lived treasure, embodied today in St. Nicholas Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, located in upstate New York. Author Matthew Gaul lovingly and intelligently explains each of the stunning icons present within the church of St. Nicholas, which are representative of icons in Greek-rite churches. Gaul explains the initial reaction a modern American would have when confronted with the overwhelming beauty of Eastern Christian When I first arrived at St. Nicholas, I felt hesitant and even unworthy, for the presence of God was so obvious and arresting that I almost did not know how to handle it. It was an honor simply to be let in the door. Rich in full-color images from the church, Tales of Glory is a story of sacrifice and redemption, ever-new for the faithful today.

Il volto della luna,Plutarch,3.63,N/A,"First published January 1, 73","Il volto che sembra delinearsi sul disco della luna è stato da sempre oggetto di speculazioni e favole. Plutarco lo sceglie qui come pretesto per uno dei suoi più affascinanti opuscoli, occasione per una esercitazione cosmologica e mitologica fra le più dense dell’antichità classica. Proprio qui, fin dall’inizio, con disarmante sobrietà, Plutarco afferma l’indispensabilità del mito, poiché «quando i concetti comuni assodati e familiari cessano di convincere, è necessario avere il coraggio di tentar vie fuori mano e di applicare senz’altro a noi stessi gli incantesimi degli antichi, ricorrendo a ogni mezzo per appurare la verità». Ma, come sempre in Plutarco, il discorso è composito: mitologico ma scientifico, geografico e geometrico, letterario e filosofico. E soprattutto sarà in questo testo che ritroveremo tracce preziose, e altrimenti occultate nella tradizione greca, del regno di Crono, di quel sovrano dell’Età dell’oro, precedente a Zeus, al quale sono connessi i misteri ultimi del mondo, poiché soltanto Crono del mondo stesso «conosce le misure».",8

Contudo, o momento de comunhão transforma-se em um pesadelo quando a criança desaparece misteriosamente. A narrativa, então, toma um salto de dois anos, tempo suficiente para uma mudança drástica na vida do outrora feliz casal. Separado de Cecilia, Anders é agora um homem entregue à bebida e à apatia. Desolado, retorna à ilha e logo começa a investigar o que de fato aconteceu à filha, descobrindo antecedentes de acontecimentos estranhos no lugar. O elo comum parece ser o mar, cuja aparente calmaria guarda, sob suas profundezas, forças desconhecidas.Anders busca uma explicação, um sentido para a perda que, se por um lado não lhe parece absolutamente irremediável, por outro não lhe apresenta chances claras de reversibilidade. Resta-lhe tatear, por vezes cegamente, à procura de um resquício de Maja, um sinal de que a manifestação de sua presença seja tão possível quanto ele deseja.O desespero de Anders é traduzido num movimento pendular, em que se alternam a ação destemperada e uma espécie de torpor embriagado.O frio sueco ajuda a compor o cenário de medo e desespero, na medida em que o clima gélido só faz aumentaro terror paralisante a que está submetido Anders, que treme ora por frio, ora por pavor. Na ilha, Anders conta com o apoio de sua avó, Anna-Greta, e o companheiro desta, Simon, que apesar de ter abandonado a carreira de longa data na mágica traz consigo um truque que não consta em nenhuma cartilha.Em A maldição de Domarö, o autor John AjvideLindqvist expõe personagens marcados pelo peso dilacerante da culpa e de segredos há tempos guardados sob o jugo do medo e numa tentativa de proteção. Há, também, aqueles que lidam com fatos por demais dolorosos para serem admitidos. A narração é entrecortada por pensamentos de personagens fundamentais à trama, artifício literário que deixa o leitor à parte da disposição psicológica daqueles, criando um efeito de “em primeira mão”. O leitor, assim, enreda-se na atmosfera de medo e mistério que confere à obra vigor consistente.","8,035"

As with other illnesses, the approaches most likely to work are based on science -- not on faith, tradition, contrition, or wishful thinking. Those facts are the foundation of ""Clean,"" a new paradigm for preventing drug abuse and treating addiction and the mental illnesses that usually accompany it. Based on the latest research in psychology, neuroscience, and medicine, ""Clean"" argues for an approach that is radically different from what currently passes for prevention and treatment. Sheff has talked to scientists, social workers, addicts, and their families to find out what can work, and just as important, how addiction itself works. ""Clean"" offers clear, cogent counsel for addicts and their loved ones no matter what stage of the illness they're in.

In questo libro la straordinaria avventura che ha visto l'umanità arrivare a comprendere le leggi dell'universo in cui vive e a ridisegnare la propria visione del mondo.","1,376"

His Favorite Mistake,Mary Eason,3.40,N/A,"First published September 29, 2013","She was unforgettable to him the first moment that he met her and just as “off limits”. Reyna James was taken. How contemptible do you have to be to fall in love with his best friend’s wife? That was the same question that Brody Samuels had wrestled with for more than eight months now since meeting Reyna James. But now everything had changed. Everything that he believed to be true about her, about Cade about their so-called perfect marriage was as dead as his friend. At twenty years old life should only be just beginning but for Reyna twenty felt far too old and far too over. Living through eight months of a nightmare marriage that ended as violently as it began made it clear to her that she had never truly been in love with her husband Cade. There wasn’t any such thing as fairy tales and happily ever after as far as Reyna was concerned. The one thing in her life that has any meaning anymore was her growing friendship with Cade’s boss and close friend Brody Samuels. And it is quickly becoming the most important thing in the world to her. Brody Samuels is a very successful advertising executive who has taken the firm he started after graduating from college straight to the top in its field in one of the most demanding cities in the world—Denver.

But it wasn’t until losing her husband to cancer in her early 30s that she truly grasped the depths of sorrow and pain that accompany loss. Using the knowledge she gained while wading through her own grief and reading hundreds of neuroscience books, Rasmussen began to look at experiences in a new way. She realized that grief plunges you into a gap between worlds—the world before loss and the world after loss. She also realized how easy it is to become lost in this gap. In Second Firsts, Rasmussen walks you through her Life Reentry process to help you break grief’s spiral of pain, so you can stop simply surviving and begin to live again. She shows you that loss can actually be a powerful catalyst to creating a life that is in alignment with your true passions and values. The resilience, strength, and determination that have gotten you through this difficult time are the same characteristics that will help you craft your wonderful new life. Her method, which she has used successfully with thousands of clients, is based on the science of neuroplasticity and focuses on consciously releasing pain in ways that both honor suffering and rewire the brain to change your perception of the world and yourself. Using practical exercises and stories drawn from her own life and those of her clients, Rasmussen guides you through five stages of healing that help you open up to new possibilities. From acknowledging your fear, to recognizing where you stand now, to taking active steps toward a new life, Rasmussen helps you move past the pain and shows that it’s never too late to step out of the gap and experience life again—as if for the first time.",341

David Jason: My Life,David Jason,4.27,Biography,"First published October 1, 2013","National Book Awards Autobiography of the Year 2013
 

The long-awaited autobiography of one of Britain's best-loved actors.


Born the son of a Billingsgate market porter at the height of the Second World War, David Jason spent his early life dodging bombs and bullies, both with impish good timing. Giving up on an unloved career as an electrician, he turned his attention to acting and soon, through a natural talent for making people laugh, found himself working with the leading lights of British comedy in the 1960s and '70s: Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Bob Monkhouse and Ronnie Barker. Barker would become a mentor to David, leading to hugely successful stints in Porridge and Open All Hours.

It wasn't until 1981, kitted out with a sheepskin jacket, a flat cap, and a clapped-out Reliant Regal, that David found the part that would capture the nation's hearts: the beloved Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter in Only Fools and Horses. Never a one-trick pony, he had an award-winning spell as TV's favourite detective Jack Frost, took a country jaunt as Pop Larkin in the Darling Buds of May, and even voiced a crime-fighting cartoon rodent in the much-loved children's show Danger Mouse. 

But life hasn't all been so easy: from missing out on a key role in Dad's Army to nearly drowning in a freak diving accident, David has had his fair share of ups and downs, and has lost some of his nearest and dearest along the way.

David's is a touching, funny and warm-hearted story, which charts the course of his incredible five decades at the top of the entertainment business. He's been a shopkeeper and a detective inspector, a crime-fighter and a market trader, and he ain't finished yet. As Del Boy would say, it's all cushty.","2,755"

Hace un patético esfuerzo para convencerse a sí mismo de que está enamorado de la hermana de un amigo, esperanza que se hunde definitivamente cuando estando en compañía de ella en un baile barriobajero, se nota estimulado sexualmente por unos forzudos que se han descamisado, y de modo especial por el mechón de pelo que asoma bajo el sobaco de uno de ellos.

We see with stunning emotional exactitude how ordinary women discover unimagined reserves of strength, even as their humanity is chipped away. Three Strong Women admits us to an immigrant experience rarely if ever examined in fiction, but even more into the depths of the suffering heart.","3,965"

Little do they realize that the repercussions will follow them into adulthood. Jimmie is left with a sense of helplessness and an unwitting habit of taking the easy way out, while Colletta finds solace in pain-killing drugs. Still, the love between these childhood sweethearts surely is forever. Through a series of unplanned events, the unbreakable bonds among the enduring team of pals in which they’re joined by DJ and Ray-Gene are strained almost beyond endurance. But DJ and Ray-Gene love Colletta, too, as friends, and the three boys dedicate themselves to protecting her from harm. This is not always easy, given that poverty, racism, alcohol and drugs are common elements in their small-town South Carolina surroundings. And when Colletta needs him most, Jimmie is unable to face their painful circumstances. He seeks refuge as an Army paratrooper ready for service in Iraq. A training accident leaves him seriously injured and suddenly Colletta is back in his life, so that his ordered military existence and the thrill of the jump no longer insulate him from his troubled past. Meanwhile, he faces the added complication of being caught in the middle of a mysterious and dangerous conflict between two superiors that places him in a vulnerable position which feels all too familiar. No longer the “good soldier” who follows orders without question, he comes to renounce war and knows that he can never again follow orders blindly. The Army life can no longer be his life. But what else can he do? Now it is Colletta who’s strong in Jimmie’s time of need. He wants to reconcile and learn to love her child, to settle into a peaceful domestic existence. But Colletta is afraid. Will he run away again? Are both their earlier failures too much to overcome? Could they ever make a life together? And why does her child look so much like Ray-Gene?",4

O Alimento dos Deuses,H.G. Wells,3.42,Science Fiction,"First published January 1, 1904","A obra de H. G. Wells não se atém aos limites da ciência e da possibilidade: são fantasias puras, sem compromissos com a realidade física, imediata - fábulas em que os vôos de fantasia serviam apenas ao entretenimento, com fins morais. O Alimento dos Deuses, porém, não é exatamente isso. A história em si parece, de fato, demasiado inverossímil. Dois cientistas um tanto excêntricos, bem britânicos, pesquisando o mecanismo do crescimento dos seres vivos, descobrem uma substância que acelera exageradamente esse crescimento, criando gigantismo em tudo - seres humanos, animais, plantas, insetos. É o chamado alimento dos deuses, que logo escapa do controle dos dois e começa a espalhar-se pelo mundo, produzindo espécimes gigantes e perigosos, e termina provocando uma guerra entre os gigantes e os pequenos, ou seja, os normais. À primeira vista, portanto, parece que se enquadra na definição de Wells: não tem contato com a realidade e busca apenas divertir, denunciando, no processo, a intolerância humana para com as coisas incomuns - os gigantes, no caso, poderiam ser tomados, por exemplo, como gigantes intelectuais, incompreendidos pelos homens comuns. Mas quando se pensa nas manipulações que hoje se fazem com a engenharia genética, a fábula, apesar de continuar sendo improvável, já não se mostra tão inverossímil assim. Embora chame a atenção para os perigos da manipulação indiscriminada de forças desconhecidas da natureza, está muito mais interessado na denúncia daqueles obscurantistas que, a pretexto de preservar uma normalidade que não pode deixar de ser transitória, simplesmente externam os seus pavores instintivos, atávicos, selvagens, do desconhecido - o campo da ciência.","5,092"

Flaws In The Ice: In search of Douglas Mawson,David  Day,3.49,History,"First published January 1, 2013","In Flaws in the Ice, prize-winning historian David Day searches for the real Douglas Mawson. After travelling south on his own six week odyssey to the Antarctic, the author answers the difficult questions about Mawson that have hitherto lain buried - from questions about his intimate relationship with Lady Scott, and his leadership of the ill- fated Australasian Antarctic Expedition of 1911-14, to his conduct during the legendary trek that led to the death of his two companions. He also explores how Mawson subsequently concealed his failures and deficiencies as an expedition leader, and created for himself a heroic image that has persisted for a century. For many decades, there has been only one published, first-hand account of the expedition - the one written and orchestrated by Mawson himself. Only recently have alternative accounts become publicly available. The most important of these is the long suppressed dairy of Mawson's deputy, Cecil Madigan, who is scathing in his criticisms of Mawson's abilities, achievements, and character. At the same time, other accounts have appeared from leading members of the expedition that also challenge Mawson's official story. In this compelling and revealing new book, David Day draws upon all this new evidence, as well as on the vast research he undertook for his international history of Antarctica, and on his own experience of sailing to the Antarctic coastline where Mawson's reputation was first created. Flaws In The Ice will change perceptions of Douglas Mawson forever.",43

Killer,Eugeniusz Sobol,5.00,N/A,"First published December 4, 2012","Killer Eugeniusza Sobola, to zbiór opowiadań, w którym autor ukazuje współczesne problemy Rosjan, Ukraińców oraz Polaków i dokonuje analizy przemian ustrojowych, zachodzących w opisywanych przez niego krajach. Czerpie przy tym zarówno ze swoich reporterskich jak i podróżniczych doświadczeń oraz z wiedzy czujnego obserwatora i znawcy współczesnej literatury, a także kultury rosyjskiej i ukraińskiej. Dzięki temu otrzymujemy niezwykle sugestywny, wielowymiarowy portret – portret, by tak rzec, odwrócony. Bo w opowiadaniach Eugeniusza Sobola to nie tyle Polacy patrzą na Wschód, ile mieszkańcy dawnego Związku Radzieckiego przyglądają się krytycznie Polakom. Takie odwrócenie narracyjnej perspektywy wydaje się chwytem nieco ryzykownym, jednak dzięki temu, iż autor odważnie wykracza poza obiegowe stereotypy narodowe i nie stroni od zadawania drażliwych i niewygodnych pytań, zabieg ów odczuwamy jako w pełni wiarygodny. To zaś sprawia, że możemy poznać lepiej nie tylko naszych najbliższych sąsiadów, ale i samych siebie.",1

Unsolved London Murders: The 1920s and 1930s,Jonathan Oates,3.61,True Crime,"First published March 1, 2009","Unsolved crimes have a special fascination, none more so than unsolved murders. The shock of the crime itself and the mystery surrounding it, the fear generated by the awareness a killer on the loose, the insight the cases give into outdated police methods, and the chance to speculate about the identity of the killer after so many years have passed - all these aspects of unsolved murder cases make them compelling reading. In this companion volume to his best-selling Unsolved Murders of Victorian and Edwardian London, Jonathan Oates has selected over 20 haunting, sometimes shocking cases from the period between the two world wars. Included are the shooting of PC James Kelly in Gunnersbury, violent deaths associated with Fenian Conspiracies, the stabbing of the French acrobat Martial Lechevalier in Piccadilly, the strychnine poisoning of egg-seller Kusel Behr, the killing by arsenic of three members of a Croydon family, and, perhaps most gruesome of all, the case of the unidentified body parts found at Waterloo Station. Jonathan Oates describes each of these crimes in precise, forensic detail. His case studies shed light on the lives of the victims and summon up the ruthless, sometimes lethal character of London itself.",160

Do we know too much to be able to act? Have we all become Hamlet in the tragedy of modern life? In this riveting and thought-provoking re-examination of Shakespeare's most famous tragedy, philosopher Simon Critchley and psychoanalyst Jamieson Webster show that the story of Hamlet reveals more about the modern world than we might expect. It is more than a drama upon the stage - a play about nothing, no less - but a searing anatomy of the dilemma of human existence in a world that is out of joint. Who is the real hero of the play, the Prince or Ophelia? Along the way, Critchley and Webster consider the political context and stakes of Shakespeare's play, its relation to religion, the movement of desire, and the incapacity to love. Listening to writers, philosophers and analysts, they formulate the Hamlet Doctrine - when knowing too much leads only to doing nothing, rather than something. The Hamlet Doctrine is a passionate encounter with the play that affords an original look at this work of literature and the prismatic quality of the play to project meaning.",169

Saloma's freedom comes to an abrupt end when she goes back home to Ohio with them.Thus begins a years-long struggle of feeling torn between two worlds: will she remain Amish and embrace the sense of belonging and community her Amish life offers, or will she return to the newfound freedom she tasted in Vermont?Saloma settles into teaching in an Amish school and does her best to fit back into Amish ways, but a legacy of childhood abuse, struggles with an eating disorder, and questions of identity plague her. Her ties to the outside world remain, mostly through the quiet perseverance of the toymaker from Vermont. He keeps sending her cards, never giving up hope that their love could survive the strain of living in two different worlds.Bonnet Strings by Saloma Miller Furlong offers a universal story of overcoming adversity and a rare look inside an Amish community. Readers of Amish fiction and viewers of the PBS documentaries such as The Amish and The Amish: Shunned will find in it a true story: of woundedness and healing, of doubt and faith, and of the often competing desires for freedom and belonging.",169

Music as Alchemy: Journeys with Great Conductors and their Orchestras,Tom Service,4.28,Music,"First published January 1, 2012","How are conductors' silent gestures magicked into sound by a group of more than a hundred brilliant but belligerent musicians? The mute choreography of great conductors has fascinated and frustrated musicians and music-lovers for centuries, from Toscanini to Karajan, from Carlos Kleiber to Gustavo Dudamel. Orchestras can be inspired to the heights of musical and expressive possibility by their maestros, or flabbergasted that someone who doesn't even make a sound should be elevated to demigod-like status by the public.This is the first book to go inside the rehearsal rooms of some of the most inspirational orchestral partnerships in the world. It's the first to see how Simon Rattle works with his musicians at the Berlin Philharmonic, how Mariss Jansons deals with the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, and how Claudio Abbado creates the world's most luxurious pick-up band every year with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra.

Friel hauntingly conveys the pathos of exile and the delusion of ownership.'

Betrayal,Harold Pinter,3.94,Plays,"First published January 1, 1978","'Betrayal is a new departure and a bold one . . . Pinter has found a way of making memory active and dramatic, giving an audience the experience of the mind's accelerating momentum as it pieces together the past with a combination of curiosity and regret. He shows man betrayed not only by man, but by time - a recurring theme which has found its proper scenic correlative . . . Pinter captures the psyche's sly manoeuvres for self-respect with a sardonic forgiveness . . . a master craftsman honouring his talent by setting it new, difficult tasks' New Society'There is hardly a line into which desire, pain, alarm, sorrow, rage or some kind of blend of feelings has not been compressed, like volatile gas in a cylinder less stable than it looks . . . Pinter's narrative method takes ""what's next?"" out of the spectator's and replaces it with the rather deeper ""how?"" and ""why?"" Why did love pass? How did these people cope with the lies, the evasions, the sudden dangers, panic and the contradictory feelings behind their own deftly engineered masks?

Jego nowy zbiór wierszy jest wędrówką po miejscach i ludziach, a zarazem w głąb siebie – w poszukiwaniu własnej tożsamości. W jednym z wywiadów autor Te Deum zauważa: „W moim przypadku poezja bierze się z ruchu, ze zmiany, z empatii, z tego Pomiędzy”. Bohater tych wierszy – zawieszony między molochem a prowincją, zgiełkiem a ciszą, sobą oraz projekcjami siebie – prowadzi bolesną „walkę o ciągłość”. Z jednej strony próbuje scalić rozpadające się Ja, z drugiej – przeraża go wszelka stałość i jednoznaczność, wszelka definicja. Dąbrowski, tworząc portret mieszkańca współczesności, nie ustawia się w roli obserwatora, lecz decyduje się na pełne uczestnictwo w świecie pozbawionym centrum. A wszystko to dzieje się w języku otwartym na rozmowę i pulsującym humorem. Żywym, lecz zdyscyplinowanym.",13

The Man with the Electrified Brain: Adventures in Madness,Simon Winchester,3.65,Nonfiction,"First published August 1, 2013","“A GRIPPING DESCRIPTION OF A JOURNEY TO HELL AND BACK, ONE THAT WILL TAKE ITS PLACE BESIDE WILLIAM STYRON’S ‘DARKNESS VISIBLE’ AND KAY REDFIELD JAMISON’S ‘AN UNQUIET MIND.’” —OLIVER SACKS “I glanced at myself in a mirror and, though unshaven, and my hair still morning-tousled, I appeared to be just the same. It was inside, inside my head, where all had become so wretchedly different. I had the night before been incontrovertibly a man of stable mood, of calm, of good cheer and unforced bonhomie. Now I had become changed, with dreadful suddenness, into another being altogether.”Simon Winchester has never shied away from big, even enormous, topics—as evidenced by his bestselling biography of the Atlantic Ocean, his account of the Krakatoa volcanic eruption, and his wildly popular “The Professor and the Madman,” about the making of the Oxford English Dictionary. In his Byliner Original “The Man with the Electrified Brain,” he takes on arguably his most daunting subject yet: his own flirtation with madness, and one of nature’s greatest and most enduring mysteries, the human brain. As a geology student in his second year at Oxford, Winchester was known as a young man of even temper and keen intellect, until one June morning when he woke to find himself “changed with dreadful suddenness into another being altogether,” his normal life “slumped into chasm” and “folded in the dirt.” For a period of nine days, he lived in immobilizing fear. Everyday items—familiar paintings, a pile of books, his own robe hanging from a hook—became objects of horror; the world lost color, purpose, all sense and safety. When the episode finally passed, he returned to normal, presuming that what had happened to him was a fluke. It wasn’t. The episode repeated itself at unpredictable and dangerous intervals for four years—always lasting for nine days—and very nearly caused the author’s death while he was on an expedition in the Arctic. What was wrong with him? Where could he find help? Would he spend the rest of his life anticipating the return of these mental blackouts? With the urgency of a whodunit, Winchester describes the coming and going of these terrifying dissociative states and the chance encounter that led to the controversial treatment of electroconvulsive therapy, which may or may not have cured him once and for all. Written by a consummate storyteller, “The Man with the Electrified Brain” locates that finest of lines between sanity and insanity and is Winchester’s most riveting and deeply personal work yet.ABOUT THE AUTHORSimon Winchester, a former foreign correspondent for “The Guardian” and the London “Sunday Times,” has written twenty-five books of nonfiction, many of them international bestsellers, including “The Professor and the Madman,” “Krakatoa,” “The Map that Changed the World,” “The Man Who Loved China,” and “Atlantic.” “The Men Who United the States” is to be published in October. PRAISE FOR “THE MAN WITH THE ELECTRIFIED BRAIN”“A graceful, moving, and insightful account of a devastating condition which lies at the edge of our understanding of mental life.” —Steven Pinker, Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of “How the Mind Works”MORE PRAISE FOR SIMON WINCHESTER “However riotous British students may now be, Winchester is a perfect example of the value of a British education.",445

The Ocean at the End of the Lane,Neil Gaiman,4.02,Fantasy,"First published June 18, 2013","Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie—magical, comforting, wise beyond her years—promised to protect him, no matter what.A groundbreaking work from a master, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. It is a stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.","640,308"

Four Eyes Were Never Better Than Two,Kelly Coleman Potter,3.35,Memoir,"First published January 22, 2014","Kelly Coleman Potter, once known in inner circles as Smelly Kelly, doesn’t see things like most of us do. This could be due to the nearsightedness that presented itself in third grade when she became known as four-eyed Smelly Kelly, but it’s not. According to her high school Journalism teacher, Potter has a unique perspective and outlook on life. She still doesn’t know if that was a compliment or an insult – or perhaps, just a nice way to say she’s weird. In this collection of essays, Four Eyes Were Never Better Than Two…and other observations, Potter offers a candid look at the human condition with tales recounting the past and present. From her younger days of dreaming about being a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader so she could own pom-poms to sex education taught by a Joyce Dewitt look-alike, Potter confesses all – including the ironic account of throwing up on a dog named Ralph. No stranger to embarrassment, she writes of cold sores that require an exorcism and the torture that was seventh grade gym class, capturing the angst, humiliation, and absurdity in those moments that often define us as individuals. Observations include: desperation can make a person do some pretty stupid things like answering a personal ad, hot wax is best left in the hands of a professional if you value your lips, and nothing is so surprising as the man who claims to hate dancing busting a move in a hospital recovery room. Even if you’ve never had to admit in a public setting that you’re having your period, passed out at the eye doctor’s office, or had an illogical fear of a lawn mower, Potter’s self-deprecating wit and sometimes bizarre sense of humor will make you glad these things only happen on sit-coms… or to her.",127

These essays, which found a well-deserved home within the pages of Reader's Digest as the column ""My Planet,"" detail the inner workings of hypochondriacs, hoarders, and compulsive cheapskates.

Whether she is dwelling on her age or talking about the pros and cons of a bedroom night light -- ""A married couple can best be defined as a unit of people whose sleep habits are carefully engineered to keep each other awake"" -- Roach finds a lesson, a slice of sarcasm, or a dash of something special that makes each day comical and absolutely priceless.In keeping with our mission -- curating the best reads in the land -- Reader's Digest editors neatly packaged these timeless (and hilarious) Roach essays together for the first time.

Always True: God's 5 Promises When Life Is Hard,James MacDonald,4.44,Christian,"First published December 1, 2010","Follow bestselling author, speaker, and pastor James MacDonald as he delivers the biblical hope of God’s promises in the midst of life’s storms.2 Peter 1:3 refers to certain portions of God’s Word as exceedingly great and precious promises. Great promises are ones that don’t fall apart during difficult times; they reveal hope in the midst of the storm. Precious promises are ones that we find strong enough to hold us up and resilient enough to get us through. God’s promises become exceedingly great and precious to us when nothing else will do.By digging into the theology of God’s promises, Pastor James uncovers 5 major categories of promises in the Bible and the 5 areas God repeatedly makes promises concerning. From dealing with fear and doubt to God’s goodness, help, and victory, the Bible has much to say about God’s presence in our difficulty.Always True will point you to God’s promises, which are just that: always true.",171

Carnet din U.R.S.S. - 1934,André Malraux,2.93,N/A,"First published April 1, 2007","In iunie 1934, Andre si Clara Malraux calatoresc din nou. Nici un roman al lui Malraux nu se petrece in Franta, in afara de cateva capitole din ultima sa carte, Les Noyers de l'Altenburg. De la obtinerea Premiului Goncourt pentru Conditia umana, in 1933, si in pofida unei experiente in Yemen in cautarea regatului reginei din Saba, la inceputul lui 1934, el nu mai are subiecte. URSS?„Romanul meu se va petrece in Persia si la Baku“, declara el la 18 iunie 1934 pentru Literaturnaia Gazeta. Si-a visat uneori operele fara sa izbuteasca sa le termine. Or, creatorul lui Garin si al lui Borodin nu cunostea inca Rusia. Se va duce pana in Siberia si va lua note in cursul calatoriei (dintre care cateva anecdote, note scurte, vor reaparea in Oglinda Limburilor). Acest carnet il publicam noi acum integral. „Cele mai mari opere literare ale timpurilor moderne au fost, aproape fara exceptie, opere amare, dureroase, melancolice sau disperate. Spectacolul omenirii asa cum era ea, asa cum este inca (asa cum va fi mereu, ar vrea sa ne faca sa credem aceia impotriva carora noi ne ridicam), acest lamentabil si rusinos spectacol a adus riduri pe fruntile poetilor si le-a incarcat privirea de ingrijorare. Munca blestemata; pamantul devenit «lumea asta de jos», asimilat unei «vai a mizeriei»; regretul dupa un paradis pierdut; omul considerat drept un «rege decazut care isi aminteste de ceruri», un om fricos, rusinat, amarat, facand din resemnare intelepciune si transferand spre o viata viitoare tot ce e mai bun in sperantele lui, iata pana astazi cele mai frumoase teme furnizate de religie poetului.“ - Andre Malraux",14

He needs the new trainer to keep him fit to play, and she’s got the skills to do it. Too bad he lost his mind and hit on her the day they met. Now she hates his guts and he’s made an art of ignoring her.When the team is put up for sale, Garrick and Savannah have to work together to save their jobs and their team. Somewhere along the way, they discover Garrick isn’t just a hockey player, Savannah isn’t only passionate about her work, and maybe they’ve got more in common than they thought.Fair Play, the 1st book in the Hat Trick series, is a enemies-to-lovers romance featuring a hometown hero, a kick-ass woman who can weaponize duct tape, and the Moncton Ice Cats—a hockey team that looks out for their own. All of Sam’s romances take place in the same world, but Fair Play can be read as a standalone. It is an 80,000 word f/m romance with no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed HEA. Fair Play contains brief m/m content, but don't worry, there's plenty more in Book 2.",976

History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi Volume 48,Syun Matsuena,4.29,Manga,N/A,"The story focuses on Kenichi, an average 16-year-old high school student who has been picked on his whole life. However, on his first day of class, he meets and befriends the mysterious transfer student, Miu Fūrinji. Driven by his desire to become stronger and to protect those around him, he follows her to Ryōzanpaku, a dojo where those who are truly strong and have mastered their arts gather (Ryōzanpaku comes from the Chinese story of Heroes of the Water Margin who train together at Liangshan 梁山). After learning basics from Miu, Kenichi is able to beat a high-ranking member of the school's karate club, and becomes a target for all the delinquents in the school. Kenichi's reason for training is to fulfill the promise he made to protect Miu. Subsequently, Kenichi's daily routine is divided between hellish training under the six masters of Ryōzanpaku, and his fights against the members of Ragnarok, a gang that views him as either a possible ally or an impending threat to their plans.After defeating Ragnarok, Kenichi faces a new enemy called Yomi, a group of disciples who are each personally trained by a master of an even bigger organization rivaling Ryōzanpaku, Yami. While the masters of Ryōzanpaku follow the principle of always sparing their opponents' lives (Katsujin-ken), the members of Yami believe that defeating an opponent is valid by any means including murder (Satsujin-ken). Caught in the struggle between the two factions, Kenichi, Miu and their ever growing team of allies join forces to fight the members of Yomi, while his masters confront the members of Yami in a battle to decide the future of the martial arts' world.",70

Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis,James Rickards,3.97,Economics,"First published November 1, 2011","In 1971, President Nixon imposed national price controls and took the United States off the gold standard, an extreme measure intended to end an ongoing currency war that had destroyed faith in the U.S. dollar. Today we are engaged in a new currency war, and this time the consequences will be far worse than those that confronted Nixon. Currency wars are one of the most destructive and feared outcomes in international economics. At best, they offer the sorry spectacle of countries' stealing growth from their trading partners. At worst, they degenerate into sequential bouts of inflation, recession, retaliation, and sometimes actual violence. Left unchecked, the next currency war could lead to a crisis worse than the panic of 2008.Currency wars have happened before-twice in the last century alone-and they always end badly. Time and again, paper currencies have collapsed, assets have been frozen, gold has been confiscated, and capital controls have been imposed. And the next crash is overdue. Recent headlines about the debasement of the dollar, bailouts in Greece and Ireland, and Chinese currency manipulation are all indicators of the growing conflict.As James Rickards argues in Currency Wars, this is more than just a concern for economists and investors. The United States is facing serious threats to its national security, from clandestine gold purchases by China to the hidden agendas of sovereign wealth funds. Greater than any single threat is the very real danger of the collapse of the dollar itself.Baffling to many observers is the rank failure of economists to foresee or prevent the economic catastrophes of recent years. Not only have their theories failed to prevent calamity, they are making the currency wars worse. The U. S. Federal Reserve has engaged in the greatest gamble in the history of finance, a sustained effort to stimulate the economy by printing money on a trillion-dollar scale. Its solutions present hidden new dangers while resolving none of the...","4,922"

În acelaşi secol, omul a inventat arme teribile ce pot provoca nu doar extincţia speciei umane, ci şi distrugerea întregii planete. Şi totuşi, omul este o fiinţă uimitoare, singura înzestrată cu raţiune, un explorator înnăscut care a ajuns deja pe alte corpuri cereşti, un creator de excepţie, un univers unic şi irepetabil de emoţii şi sentimente nobile. Dar şi un rezervor de pasiuni mistuitoare, de ură şi de cruzime. Cum se împacă aceste extreme ale naturii umane? Este omul un ucigaş înnăscut sau învaţă să ucidă de la semenii săi?

12 Years a Slave,Solomon Northup,4.22,Nonfiction,"First published February 5, 1853","First published in 1853, Twelve Years a Slave is the narrative of Solomon Northup’s experience as a free man sold into slavery. Northup’s memoir reveals unimaginable details about the slave markets, the horrors of life on a plantation, and the dreadful day-to-day treatment of the slaves from the perspective of a man who lived more than thirty years as a free man before being forcibly enslaved. Written in the year after Northup was freed and published in the wake of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Northup’s story was quickly taken up by abolitionist groups and news organizations as part of the fight against slavery. The book fell into obscurity in later decades, only to be rediscovered in the early 1960’s. In 2013 it was adapted into a feature film entitled 12 Years a Slave, directed by Steve McQueen and produced by Brad Pitt. Pitt also played a supporting role in the film, alongside Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Giamatti and Sarah Paulson.HarperTorch brings great works of non-fiction and the dramatic arts to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.

Nick must move quickly to prevent the three women in his life, and the authorities who are hunting him, from discovering his terrible secret.Dark Moonlighting is the first book in the humorous series. It explores four of the biggest clichés in popular culture, and it pokes fun at a number of popular television shows including Law & Order, Bones and House. It also takes a more realistic and amusing approach to the vampire cliché. For example, the average human has the equivalent of five Big Gulps worth of blood in their body. Nick takes twenty minutes to kill someone and, like the vampire bat, must immediately urinate afterwards.",470

The others were together St. Benedict of Nursia, Saints Cyril and Methodius, St. Bridget of Sweden and St. Catherine of Siena. There is some debate among Catholics as to whether Edith should have been canonized, because she was martyred for being a Jew, not a Christian martyr.",193

Probably Approximately Correct: Nature's Algorithms for Learning and Prospering in a Complex World,Leslie Valiant,3.67,Science,"First published June 4, 2013","From a leading computer scientist, a unifying theory that will revolutionize our understanding of how life evolves and learns. How does life prosper in a complex and erratic world? While we know that nature follows patterns -- such as the law of gravity -- our everyday lives are beyond what known science can predict. We nevertheless muddle through even in the absence of theories of how to act. But how do we do it? In Probably Approximately Correct, computer scientist Leslie Valiant presents a masterful synthesis of learning and evolution to show how both individually and collectively we not only survive, but prosper in a world as complex as our own. The key is ""probably approximately correct"" algorithms, a concept Valiant developed to explain how effective behavior can be learned. The model shows that pragmatically coping with a problem can provide a satisfactory solution in the absence of any theory of the problem. After all, finding a mate does not require a theory of mating. Valiant's theory reveals the shared computational nature of evolution and learning, and sheds light on perennial questions such as nature versus nurture and the limits of artificial intelligence. Offering a powerful and elegant model that encompasses life's complexity, Probably Approximately Correct has profound implications for how we think about behavior, cognition, biological evolution, and the possibilities and limits of human and machine intelligence.",408

By European law, this is the only pasty that can be called a Cornish Pasty, and even then only if it is made in Cornwall.So, unless you happen to live in Cornwall, you will just have to call it something else. If you insist on calling it a Cornish Pastry and one day two burly tin miners with strange accents show up on your doorstep, all I can say is, ""You were warned!""What's a Cornish Pasty, you may ask? Well, the official one is much like a meat pie, but you can hold it in your hand and the pastry will hold together. It's much the same for the variations I have provided in this cookbook, although I didn't stop at just meat pies, there are also fruit pies, vegetarian pies, and many other versions. The list of recipe names below will give you a good idea.My mother's pasty recipe was different, so I included that as the unofficial Cornish Pasty Appetizers. But there is so much more you can do, and I have done, with the pasty idea that I thought you might like to try some of the variations I've come up with over the years.

We go by what feels right and the experience of cooking the same meal many times before.The How To Make Authentic English Recipes series is more about the method and the ingredients than it is about precise measuring. This is the way our Grandmothers and Mothers cooked. These are recipes my Grandmother passed down to my Mother and then to me.I hope you enjoy this series of cookbooks and will soon be using these homemade recipes and cooking like a true Brit.",53

How to Beat the Banks and Credit Bureaus: Advanced Techniques to Instantly Level the Playing Field and Get You the Desired Results,Daniel K. Berman,2.50,N/A,"First published August 23, 2013","A recent report by The New York Times documented a dirty little secret on the part of the credit bureaus: the reporting agencies maintain a two-tiered system, one for VIPs such as celebrities and politicians, who receive special ""concierge"" treatment, in stark contrast with that massive, immovable ""brick wall"" that everyone else runs into. If you've ever been given the runaround or stonewalled by a bank or credit bureau, you know that maddening, desperate, infuriating feeling of being up against an uncaring corporate giant that abuses its tremendous power, walking all over people with impunity because it knows it can get away with it.

I Would Still Be Drowned in Tears: Spiritualism in Abraham Lincoln's White House,Michelle L. Hamilton,4.04,Spiritualism,"First published October 25, 2013","In 1862, in the midst of a bloody civil war, President Abraham Lincoln and his wife Mary, suffered unspeakable heartache when there young son died. To combat her grief, First Lady Mary Lincoln became a devotee of Spiritualism making the White House a center for Washington, D.C.'s Spiritualist community. For decades historians have maintained that President Lincoln only attended a few seances in an attempt to protect his mentally unstable wife. This narrative is incorrect, using a host of previously neglected primary sources, historian Michelle L. Hamilton documents the numerous seances President Lincoln attended and the interest he had for the religion. Michelle L. Hamilton's ""I Would Still Be Drowned in Tears"" sheds new light onto the Lincolns' interest in Spiritualism and proves that Mary Lincoln might not have been the only Spiritualist in the White House. ""Perhaps now we can frankly admit, without ridicule or condemnation, the role Spiritualism played in the lives of Abraham and Mary,""--William Weeks, Ph.D., San Diego State University",23

There's Hudson, a small-town mechanic who is willing to throw away his dreams for true love. And Bree, a runaway who seizes every Tuesday--and a few stolen goods along the way. Elliot believes in happy endings...until his own life goes off-script. And Sonia worries that when she lost her boyfriend, she also lost the ability to love. Hudson, Bree, Elliot and Sonia find a friend in Leila. And when Leila leaves them, their lives are forever changed. But it is during Leila's own 4,268-mile journey that she discovers the most important truth--sometimes, what you need most is right where you started. And maybe the only way to find what you're looking for is to get lost along the way. Book Club & Common Core-aligned materials included in book.","13,128"

Maggie's often tormented battle to do her duty and belong on the one hand, and to be herself, wild and natural on the other, propels her from one crisis to another. As the Tulliver fortunes decline and fall, the rift between Maggie and her family becomes almost irreconcilable. But Maggie 's biggest mistake of all is to fall in love with Stephen Guest who is engaged to another woman. Both a sharp and observant picture of English rural life and a profoundly convincing analysis of a woman's psychology,  The Mill on the Floss  is a novel that tackles the complexities of morality versus desire.","56,743"

The Spectral Body: Aspects of the Cinematic Oeuvre of István Szabó,Zoltán Dragon,5.00,N/A,"First published April 1, 2006","The Spectral Body: Aspects of the Cinematic Oeuvre of Istvan Szabó analyses some of the films made by Academy Award winner Hungarian filmmaker Istvan Szabo to establish an interpretative matrix disclosing the root of haunting effects in the visual and the narrative levels of the diegeses. By combining two distinct – and often incongruous – lines of psychoanalytic thought (by Nicolas Abraham and Jacques Lacan), Zoltán Dragon argues that these films are fuelled by the work of a phantom on all levels, hiding the secrets of the family history of the characters and producing uncanny visual scenarios to make the act of hiding even more effective.The book brings the reader into the realm of the “phantom text” generating the film texts and crypt screens of the oeuvre, and investigates the causes of undiscussible and painful secrets that propel some pivotal characters to reappear in subsequent films, apparently driven by a compulsion to continue their narration, failing to finish their stories – even when they appear to be successful. The Spectral Body: Aspects of the Cinematic Oeuvre of István Szabó introduces a visual reinterpretation of Abraham’s phantom theory that opens up possibilities for an alternative way of studying film.",1

Het viel hem op dat de dierenwereld in het westen van de archipel er heel anders uitzag dan in het oosten. Deze observaties vormden de basis voor zijn biogeografie, een leer die bestudeert hoe dieren en planten zich verspreiden over de wereld, begrensd door denkbeeldige lijnen, zoals de Wallacelijn tussen Bali en Lombok, en Borneo en Sulawesi. Want hoe verklaar je dat paradijsvogels alleen in het oosten van Indonesië in de bomen dansen? Dat orang-­oetans alleen op Sumatra en Borneo voorkomen? En wat is de mogelijke relatie tussen de Floresmens en de Komodo­varaan? Om op deze en vele andere vragen antwoord te krijgen reisde Alexander Reeuwijk anderhalve eeuw na Wallace met een tas vol boeken, een verrekijker en de laatste wetenschappelijke inzichten dwars door Indonesië.

Nhân vật chính của Bữa sáng ở Tiffany’s, Holly Nhẹ Dạ, đã trở thành một trong những sáng tạo nổi tiếng nhất của Truman Capote và của văn học hiện đại Mỹ thế kỷ 20. Lối văn của cuốn sách đã khiến nhà văn Norman Mailer gọi Capote là “nhà văn hoàn hảo nhất của thế hệ tôi. Ông viết nên những câu văn hay nhất, đẹp đến từng con chữ, từng nhịp điệu.” Trong tuyệt tác đầy cám dỗ và nuối tiếc này, Truman Capote đã sáng tạo nên một cô gái mà tên cô đã đi vào thành ngữ Mỹ và phong cách cô là một phần của diện mạo văn học. Holly Nhẹ Dạ biết rằng vĩnh viễn không điều gì xấu có thể xảy ra với mình ở tiệm Tiffany’s; sự cay đắng, hài hước, ngây thơ của cô vẫn cứ mê hoặc lòng người. Tuyển tập này có thêm 3 trong số những truyện ngắn nổi tiếng nhất của Capote, Nhà hoa, Cây đàn guitar kim cương và Ký ức Giáng sinh mà tờ Satuday Review gọi là “một trong những truyện ngắn cảm động nhất bằng tiếng Anh.” Đấy là câu chuyện về hai kẻ ngây thơ – một cậu bé và một bà già, bạn thân thiết nhất của cậu – trong ngọt ngào có cái lõi sắc cạnh và nghiệt ngã của hiện thực. Bộ phim Bữa sáng ở Tiffany’s đã được Hollywood tạo thành một biểu tưởng phù hoa, không chỉ thời trang mà còn một phong cách sống nổi bật nhất của truyền thông thế kỷ 20. Kẻ nào đủ tỉnh táo trước sự cám dỗ và đủ sức mạnh chống lại những va đập không thương tiếc của đời sống thị thành? Câu chuyện hài hước và sâu cay đã được dựng thành phim năm 1961 với ngôi sao Audrey Hepburn. Sự khác biệt giữa truyện và phim cũng phản ánh quan điểm về những cái kết tốt đẹp (happy-ending) rất đặc trưng của màn bạc Mỹ. Phim và truyện cho đến nay, trở thành một cặp biểu tượng thời trang và văn hóa kinh điển.","247,176"

中国人的修养,蔡元培,3.50,China,"First published September 1, 2012","内容介绍： 
  《中国人的修养》是蔡元培先生在公民道德修养方面的杰出作品，主要收录了他最为重要的道德思想建设代表作:《华工学校讲义》和《中学修身教科书》。《中国人的修养》完美结合了中华传统文化中的修身齐家治国平天下与现代公民道德教育理念，通过细微事件，具体、详尽地阐述了建设道德社会的方法，是一部值得所有国人阅读的道德范本。中国人或许是最保守、最固执，亦最利己的族群，他们有着发自内心的真诚和善良，却从未试图将这种真诚和善良，变成社会的公共精神。但蔡元培先生显然并不这么认为。在他的眼中，中国人是“可改造的”，如果能摒弃过去的束缚，并注入崭新的思想，中国人就一定能从“独善其身”，转而“兼济天下”。这部几近百年前的教科书，如今的国人也许刚刚翻开第一页。但翻开便好，便是试图革新，便是大勇气。",2

Undermined by a ruling elite hungry for money and power, Pakistan now stands alone as the only Islamic country with a nuclear bomb, yet unable to protect its people from the carnage of regular bombings at home. How did it reach this flashpoint of instability and injustice with such potentially catastrophic results for the whole world?Recounting his country's history through the prism of his own memories, Imran Khan starts from its foundation, ripped out of the dying British Raj. He guides us through and comments on subsequent historical developments which shook the Muslim world -- the wars with India in 1965 and 1971, the Iranian Revolution of 1979, the Societ invasion of Afghanistan, the 9/11 terrorist attacks -- to the current controversial and intractable war in Afghanistan. Throughout we see these events viewed not only through the eyes of Westerners, but through those of ordinary Pakistanis.Drawing on the experiences of his own family and his wide travels within his homeland, Pakistan: A Personal History provides a unique insider's view of a country unfamiliar to a western audience. Woven into this history we see how Imran Khan's personal life -- his happy childhood in Lahore, his Oxford education, his extraordinary cricketing career, his playboy years and marriage to Jemima Goldsmith, his mother's influence and that of his Islamic faith -- inform both the historical narrative and his current philanthropic and political activities. It is at once absorbing and insightful, casting fresh light upon a country whose culture he believes is largely misunderstood by the West.From the Trade Paperback edition.","1,988"

You could read ten books on the subject and not glean as much information.""-- David Bach founder of FinishRich Media; author of nine ""New York Times"" bestsellers, including ""Debt Free for Life"" and ""The Automatic Millionaire"" ""Goodwin has done the seemingly impossible--he has made economics comprehensible ""and"" funny.""-- Joel Bakan, author of ""The Corporation"" ""The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power"" ""An amazing lesson in true-world economics Delightfully presented, powerful, insightful, and important information What a fun way to fathom a deep and often dark subject ""-- John Perkins, author of ""Hoodwinked"" and the ""New York Times"" bestseller ""Confessions of an Economic Hit Man"" ""Smart, insightful, clear, and as close to the truth as economics can get. The bonus: Who would have guessed that economics could be fun, and--here's the joy--really accessible? Goodwin roots us in history and fills us with common sense understanding. As he puts it early on, economics seems horribly complicated mostly because we're looking at it all at once. Broken down into its component pieces, it's relatively easy to understand. And a good understanding of economics is critical to maneuvering in the world today. If I were compiling a list of the 100 most important books you can read in a lifetime, this would be on it.""--Stephen Petranek, editor-in-chief, Weider History magazines, former editor-in-chief of ""Discover"" magazine ""Through a potent mix of comics and punchy, concise, accessible prose, Goodwin takes us on a provocative, exhaustively researched, and exceedingly engaging trip through our history and present day, creating an alternately hilarious and scary picture of where we are today as an economy-- and what it all means. More than that, Goodwin makes the arcane, understandable. If your mind either spins or slumbers at the thought of economics, read Goodwin's ""Economix"" and all will become clear. --Nomi Prins, author of ""It Takes a Pillage: An Epic Tale of Power, Deceit, and Untold Trillions"" """"Economix"" is a lively, cheerfully opinionated romp through the historical and intellectual foundations of our current economy and our current economic problems. Goodwin has a knack for distilling complex ideas and events in ways that invite the reader to follow the big picture without losing track of what actually happened. Any reader wondering how our economy got to where it is today will find this a refreshing overview.""--Timothy W. Guinnane, Philip Golden Bartlett Professor of Economic History, Yale University","4,513"

Concluding with a critical reconstruction of the Weberan and Marxian treatment of modernity and its discontents, Habermas sets a new agenda for the critical theory of contemporary society.

"The Feature of the Expert, Glorious King: “Three Lines That Hit the Key Points.” Root text and commentary by Patrul Rinpoche",Garab Dorje,4.20,N/A,"First published January 1, 2007","The first Patrul Rinpoche is one of the important lineage holders of the Longchen Nyingthig transmission of innermost Great Completion (Dzogpa Chenpo). He wrote many texts on Great Completion practices. One of them has become particularly famous as a manual for the practice of Thorough Cut (Thregcho) The actual title of this text is ""The Feature of the Expert, Glorious King"". The Expert, Glorious King is Patrul's description of himself as someone who has the lineage and means to provide this explanation of one of the most profound practices of dharma. The lineage of innermost Dzogchen has several root teachings on Thorough Cut practice and all of them can be used as a basis for a manual of how to practice Thorough Cut. One of the most popular ones is a teaching that came from Garab Dorje after he had passed away. This teaching was given as a set of three lines of instructions to his disciple Manjushrimitra and is generally known as the ""Three Lines"". Patrul's text is actually an explanation of the Three Lines teaching from Garab Dorje. Patrul used the three lines as a basis and then expanded on them so that their meaning could be more easily understood. For that reason, the text has become known as The Three Lines that Strike the Key Points. It is so commonly called by this name that many people do not know the actual name of the text. Patrul Rinpoche not only wrote this text but wrote his own, short commentary to it as well. The commentary certainly will help anyone to understand the very terse words of the original text. Therefore this book contains translations both of the root text and Patrul's own commentary to it. The book also includes an introduction that tells more about the text, notes and a glossary that provide significant help with the unique terminology involved, and an explanation of what the title actually says!",5

Suuri tulva,Timothy Findley,3.98,Fiction,"First published January 1, 1984","Published in 1984, Not Wanted on the Voyage is one of Timothy Findley's most imaginative and compelling literary fictions. Findley turns to one of our essential myths: the biblical story of the great Flood, but he doesn't so much retell it as take our common knowledge of the Old Testament tale and give it an extraordinary twist. Here we have Dr. Noah Noyes, diabolical conjuror and dictatorial leader of his helpless little boat-bound band, sure of his total superiority as man, husband, and father, imposing his view of the ways of God on his wife and family. The kind and generous Mrs. Noyes stands in direct contrast to her hard-hearted husband, and then there are the Noyes children: strongman Japeth, every inch his father's son, with his delicate wife, Emma; and the sensitive Ham, every inch his mother's, with his mysterious wife, Lucy (a.k.a. Lucifer, who, having escaped from Hell, has decided to align himself with mankind). Findley, a great lover of cats, also gives us the crotchety Mottyl, making her way through her ninth and final life. Not Wanted on the Voyage is poetic and passionate and bursting with a wide-eyed inventiveness, at once a stunningly contemporary attempt at mythmaking, a grand novel of the power of the imagination, and a thoroughly good read. --Jeffrey Canton","7,115"

Algún día escribiré sobre África,Binyavanga Wainaina,3.76,Africa,"First published July 19, 2011","En 2005, el escritor keniano Binyavanga Wainaina escribió furioso al editor de Granta. La razón de su rabia era el número que la revista había publicado sobre África: «No me molestaba lo sombrío, sino lo estúpido. No había nada nuevo, nada profundo, sino mucho “reportaje” […] como si África y los africanos no fueran parte del discurso, como si no vivieran al otro lado de la calle de la oficina de Granta. No, nosotros estábamos “allí”, donde gente valiente vestida de color caqui podía acudir para atestiguarlo». El editor le propuso publicar una versión editada de su correo, ahora como texto titulado «How to Write About Africa». Se convirtió en el artículo más reenviado en la historia de la revista. Posteriormente, Wainaina escribió Algún día escribiré sobre África, una magistral crónica de su vida en Kenia, su fallido intento por estudiar en la universidad en Sudáfrica, y en particular su tortuoso viaje iniciático hasta convertirse en un escritor premiado y reconocido a nivel internacional. Wainaina retrata su vida en África como un mosaico en ebullición, bailando en su adolescencia con la música de Michael Jackson, contemplando con ironía un desfile de dictadores despóticos, trenzándose a golpes con un mafioso abusivo, siempre narrando con un lenguaje de una gran plasticidad y belleza, y sobre todo sin juzgar a los demás, para ceñirse a una de las principales reglas de la sociedad de Kenia: «Si hay una cortesía que todos los kenianos practican consiste en no cuestionar las contradicciones de los demás; todos tenemos contradicciones, y destruir la cara de otro es un sacrilegio».","2,320"

A convicção de que bastariam cem páginas foi abandonada; dezoito anos depois, o que era um ensaio se transformou em cinco livros. Em A Ditadura Envergonhada, o leitor vai encontrar um minucioso relato do golpe de 1964, com seus lances de acaso e improvisos, a luta pelo poder nos primeiros anos do governo militar, a criação do SNI e os bastidores da elaboração dos primeiros atos institucionais, até a edição do Ato Institucional nº5 , em dezembro de 1968, e a famosa aula de tortura de outubro de 679, dada por um tenente no quartel da Vila Militar no Rio de Janeiro, quando a ditadura deixa de se envergonhar de si própria.Esta obra trata-se do primeiro livro da coleção e primeiro volume da série As Ilusões Armadas",653

ANCIENT VISITORS TO NORTH AMERICA,Robert D. Morritt,0.00,N/A,"First published July 10, 2013",Way back in the shadows and mists of time. Ancient visitors regularly visited North America. The coastlines and terrain was very different then and after an interstadial era the Glaciers had melted and North America was just another route taken often accidentally by archaic travelers who moved onwards in search of the food-chain.It appears that indigenous North Americans and Europeans possibly co-existed in isolated pockets as far back as 2000 to 1200BC (or even earlier) except for periods when they competed for the same ‘hunting grounds or a new territory to settle.This book ‘Ancient Visitors to North America’ whilst full of conjecture allows the reader to witness the trace of people who arrived in North America centuries before Columbus who himself had never set foot on North American soil.,0

Una fenomenologia poetica, certo, ma una fenomenologia materialista, non esistenzialista, per la disperazione di Sartre.

聖女貞德. 2 Jeanne. 2,大谷暢順,3.00,N/A,"First published September 1, 1996",法國洛林公爵之女艾美莉，幼時因為家變之故，而為公爵下屬波多里古努加以藏匿庇護。波多里古努之子艾米兒身份被養大的艾美莉，小時候曾在父親的病榻前見過貞德一面，並且在波多里古努的城堡見過貞德的幻影，對於貞德有股特殊的感情。（波多里古努即是當年帶貞德去見當時尚未登基的查理斯七世的人。另外，在這部作品中，除了在眾人的回憶中之外，貞德這個角色的出現都是以魂魄般地幻影形式登場。其時貞德業已被處火刑燒死。）貞德被燒死九年之後的法國仍不平靜，不但對英的戰爭尚未結束，且查理斯七世的軟弱還使得王太子路易趁機要興兵反叛，並且獲得了貞德生前的眾多盟友的支持。當艾美莉知道波多里古努接到大元帥利士文公爵的徵召命令時，乃自告奮勇地要代替波多里古努前去勤王。在造訪貞德出身的村莊多尼密時，艾美莉再次見到了貞德的幻影，並且接受了貞德的指引：「保護國王」。前去勤王的途中，艾美莉在奧爾良為先前所收服的盜賊出賣，因而遭到了王太子路易的逮捕。而與充滿霸氣與野心的路易接觸，亦使得艾美莉一時之間對貞德的指引出現了迷惑。然而在貞德幻影的協助下，艾美莉逃出了奧爾良，並且在圖爾見著了查理斯七世，正式開始了勤王的工作。眼見勤王軍的軍備簡陋，艾美莉自告奮勇地前去會見富有的薛多?尼男爵，期使這位貞德生前的盟友能夠出資協助勤王。然而此時的薛多-尼男爵早已為異常的慾望所支配。就在艾美莉本身陷入即將被殺害的危機之時，貞德的幻影出現在艾美莉與薛?多尼男爵的眼前，而喚回了薛?多尼的理智。薛?多尼之後也終於答應出資幫助了勤王軍。在大元帥利士文公爵的領導下，勤王軍接連打敗了王太子路易的叛軍。艾美莉在不願造成更多死傷的考量下，乃自願擔任使者前去會見仍在繼續反抗的雅倫遜公爵。然而雅倫遜公爵卻將艾美莉抓住並送給了王太子路易。使得艾美莉開始了被監禁的生涯。在監禁的過程中，艾美莉接連地與王太子路易發生衝突，路易最後乃決定讓艾美莉選擇是否要順從抑或步上和貞德一般的被燒死之路。選擇反抗的艾美莉在處刑前倍感害怕，然而就在危機的一刻，天降神雷擊毀了處刑台，並且也終於讓狂妄的王太子路易與艾美莉一同前去面見國王。之後，法國終於打敗了英國，而貞德也終於被重審而宣告無罪。由大谷暢順原著、安彥良和作畫的這部《聖女貞德》，雖然可能會讓部分讀者因為故事背景的陌生而感到一時無法弄清楚內容，但其故事本體事實上是不至於稱得上是複雜的。只要能夠就第一冊書末結尾所附的背景解說加以理解，那麼要弄清楚這部作品的內容，其實並不是一件困難的事。（在第一冊書末結尾附有背景解說的作法，其實可說是值得稱許的地方。比起一些歷史題材的作品經常讓讀者們弄不清狀況的情形，附上這樣一個的背景解說，其實是比較體恤讀者們的作法。）也許會有讀者在看完且暸解這本《聖女貞德》的故事之後，仍會就時代背景與貞德的事蹟提出種種的疑問，但是這部作品正如前述的故事簡介所示，其重心並不在於描繪史實上的貞德事蹟，而是藉由虛構出的人物──少女艾美莉的行動，去追尋與帶出貞德出現的意義。當然，安彥良和與大谷暢順所呈現出來的這部《聖女貞德》並不是真正的歷史。但是這部作品所呈現出來的歷史感，卻表現出了一股相當強大的說服力。對於此點，兩位作者的表現無疑是令人讚賞的。作品中確實存在於歷史中的幾位重要角色：國王查理斯七世、薛多?尼男爵、雅倫遜公爵……等，作者在其內心戲上的表現都出色的讓人動容。儘管角色們真正關於貞德的內心戲場景只佔了少量的篇幅，但是所呈現出來的畫龍點睛效果卻是出奇的好。把每一個角色之所以有如此作為的原因，都作了個相當漂亮的解釋，可說是《聖女貞德》這部作品相當值得稱贊的地方。（當然，真實的史實並不是像這部作品裡所呈現的那麼「浪漫」。而貞德是否真有神的指引，其實也大有問題。這部作品的本質始終還是個文學創作，而不是真正的歷史，這是在觀察這部作品前所必須要加以認識的前提。）安彥良和的作品風格向來都不會太活潑，對於一些讀者來說，他的作品甚至是令人感到有些「悶」。之所以如此，是因為安彥良和的表現方式與題材向來都比較注重內涵，對於角色的內心戲的鋪陳做的相當用心，所以他的作品經常都表現得頗為正經與嚴肅，即使故事處於較為詼諧的場景時，也很難讓讀者的心情跟著輕鬆下來。在這一點上，這部《聖女貞德》自然也是不會例外的。安彥良和的高作畫水準向來都有定評，不過這部《聖女貞德》特殊的是它是一部水彩漫畫。其所呈現出來的色彩風格，其實與他以前為電視版《機動戰士 GUNDAM》所繪製的海報用色風格頗為類似，只是偏好在同一格畫框中大量使用同色系色彩的表現方式變得更明顯，經常畫框中呈現著整片藍、整片紅或者是整片綠。其實在故事氣氛的營造上，也可以說是頗有助力的。基本上，大谷暢順與安彥良和的這部《聖女貞德》，其立場是站在相信貞德、承認神蹟的這一點上。並且由這樣的設定出發，來鋪陳這部作品的故事發展。對於這點，也許會有些讀者因為不信教或者是其他的原因而感到相當不以為然。但是，只要考慮到這部作品是部文藝作品而非真實的歷史，相信也不至於會那麼地難以接受。整體來說，安彥良和與大谷暢順合作的這部《聖女貞德》，可說是一部值得一看的作品。,1

Učitelj in čarovnice,Alejandro Jodorowsky,4.25,Biography,"First published January 1, 2005","Jodorowsky’s memoirs of his experiences with Master Takata and the group of wisewomen--magiciennes--who influenced his spiritual growth • Reveals Jodorowsky turning the same unsparing spiritual vision seen in El Topo to his own spiritual quest • Shows how the author’s spiritual insight and progress was catalyzed repeatedly by wisewoman shamans and healers In 1970, John Lennon introduced to the world Alejandro Jodorowsky and the movie, El Topo, that he wrote, starred in, and directed. The movie and its author instantly became a counterculture icon. The New York Times said the film “demands to be seen,” and Newsweek called it “An Extraordinary Movie!” But that was only the beginning of the story and the controversy of El Topo, and the journey of its brilliant creator. His spiritual quest began with the Japanese master Ejo Takata, the man who introduced him to the practice of meditation, Zen Buddhism, and the wisdom of the koans. Yet in this autobiographical account of his spiritual journey, Jodorowsky reveals that it was a small group of wisewomen, far removed from the world of Buddhism, who initiated him and taught him how to put the wisdom he had learned from his master into practice.At the direction of Takata, Jodorowsky became a student of the surrealist painter Leonora Carrington, thus beginning a journey in which vital spiritual lessons were transmitted to him by various women who were masters of their particular crafts. These women included Doña Magdalena, who taught him “initiatic” or spiritual massage; the powerful Mexican actress known as La Tigresa (the “tigress”); and Reyna D’Assia, daughter of the famed spiritual teacher G. I. Gurdjieff. Other important wisewomen on Jodorowsky’s spiritual path include María Sabina, the priestess of the sacred mushrooms; the healer Pachita; and the Chilean singer Violeta Parra. The teachings of these women enabled him to discard the emotional armor that was hindering his advancement on the path of spiritual awareness and enlightenment.",967

By age 13 she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate—a life and a role that she has never challenged ... until now.

Pyhän Venäjän palveluksessa,Vladimir Sorokin,3.74,Fiction,"First published January 1, 2006","Satiiria, komediaa ja seikkailuhenkeä yhdistelevä dystopia tulevaisuuden Venäjästä vuonna 2027.Venäjä on kirjaimellisesti eristynyt Euroopasta, joka on maailmanpoliittinen pikkutekijä Kiinan hallitsemassa maailmassa. Venäjällä vallitsee ääriortodoksinen uskonto, yltiömäinen kansallismieli ja machokulttuuri, minkä myötä kaikki liberaali, demokraattinen ja maallinen on pannassa. Valtaistuimella istuu mies, joka muistuttaa vahvasti eräitä nykyisiä vallanpitäjiä. Hänen rajatonta valtaansa puolustavat ja mielensä oikkuja toteuttavat tsaarin ajoilta periytyvät valiojoukot, opritshnikit. Heille toisinajattelijoiden henki on korkeintaan ivallisen naurun arvoinen.Kaiken kurin, järjestyksen ja autoritaarisuuden taustalla rehottavat kuitenkin tutulla tavalla korruptio, huumeet, mässäily ja irstailu. Valiokaartin rankka työ vaatii normaalia rankemmat huvit. Paikoin kirja yltyykin groteskiksi kuvaukseksi venäläisen sielun tummimmista sävyistä. Ei ole ihme, että Sorokinin kirjat ovat päätyneet Putinia palvovan Nashi-nuorisojärjestön rovioille. Sorokinin ""pyhässä Venäjässä"" näkyy näet piirteitä niin keskiajalta, stalinismista kuin tieteiskirjallisuudestakin.Pyhän Venäjän palveluksessa on käännetty lukuisille eurooppalaisille kielille, mm. ruotsiksi.

These cleverly interwoven tales of their heart-stopping adventures take us from the feats of World War I through the heroism of World War II and beyond, including daring military raids and survival-at-sea, and will appeal to fans of Unbroken , The Greatest Generation , and Flyboys . With the world in peril in World War II, each man set aside great success and comfort to return to the skies for his most daring mission yet. Doolittle, a brilliant aviation innovator, would lead the daring Tokyo Raid to retaliate for Pearl Harbor; Lindbergh, hero of the first solo flight across the Atlantic, would fly combat missions in the South Pacific; and Rickenbacker, World War I flying ace, would bravely hold his crew together while facing near-starvation and circling sharks after his plane went down in a remote part of the Pacific. Groom's rich narrative tells their intertwined stories--from broken homes to Medals of Honor (all three would receive it); barnstorming to the greatest raid of World War II; front-page triumph to anguished tragedy; and near-death to ultimate survival--as all took to the sky, time and again, to become exemplars of the spirit of the ""greatest generation.""","4,433"

Sweet Carolina Girls,R.E. Bradshaw,4.07,Lesbian,"First published August 1, 2010","PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A SECOND EDITIONSweet Carolina Girls was one of the first three novels published together on a daring weekend in 2010. Thinking no one would ever read them, R. E. Bradshaw threw caution to the wind. Luckily, someone did and encouraged the author to find an editor and keep writing. Sweet Carolina Girls has now been copy edited, but the story is substantially the same. If you waded through the first error filled edition, then you’ll not find anything new here. Bradshaw says of Sweet Carolina Girls, ""I simply felt I owed it to the readers that made it possible for me to become a full-time author. Harper and Lauren are the youngest characters I have written about to date, and my ode to falling into the fire of a first passionate adult love affair.""Harper Lee Lynch, only 23 years old and a doctoral candidate, finds herself in North Carolina with only her Golden Retriever, Jasper, to keep her company. Shortly after moving into her new home, Harper stops at the Tarr Bar, a local eatery. That moment changes her life forever.

Fall in love with this group of ten women, as they laugh, cry and fight their way through emotional roller-coasters, set in motion by Harper's arrival.This mixture of gay and straight women in a variety of sizes, shapes. and colors, makes for an interesting dynamic and an endless supply of storylines. The characters range, in ages, from 23 to 69 and are the kind of friends you hope you have when push comes to shove. Harper finds out just what kind of friends she's found, when she gets pushed into a relationship by the forces of nature, neither she nor the beautiful Lauren can stop.",334

Geschiedenis onder de guillotine: twee eeuwen geschiedschrijving van de Franse Revolutie,Bart Verheijen,3.55,N/A,"First published September 1, 2013","De terreur en de guillotine zijn onlosmakelijk verbonden met de geschiedenis van de Franse Revolutie. De rol van de terreur is zelfs zo groot dat de geschiedschrijving ervan politieke standpunten legitimeert. Al twee eeuwen lang kleurt de terreur de interpretatie van de revolutie en de beschouwing van de Franse samenleving. Bart Verheijen beschrijft in Geschiedenis onder de guillotine hoe de revolutionaire terreur het nadenken over Franse politiek en maatschappij zo lang in haar greep heeft kunnen houden. Zijn verhaal voert dwars door de negentiende en de twintigste eeuw, waarin liberalen, republikeinen, marxisten en revisionisten met elkaar streden om de erfenis van de Franse Revolutie. Maar hoe verhouden vrijheid, gelijkheid, democratie en terreur zich tot elkaar? En in hoeverre is de huidige Franse samenleving schatplichtig aan die terreur? Dit voert uiteindelijk tot de vraag hoe belangrijk de Franse Revolutie vandaag de dag nog is. Kunnen we haar inmiddels afsluiten, of dwingt de eenentwintigste-eeuwse terreur ons ertoe er toch over na te denken?",11
