Murder by the Book

Craig Sodaro

First published January 1, 2000

What happens when some of the world’s greatest writers get together? Murder, that’s what! The Raven Society is holding its annual meeting to select the best mystery book of the year to win the coveted Smoking Gun Award. Because of the prestige of the prize, the membership in this sacred club is secret, even amongst themselves. Each member attends the three day meeting, cut off from the rest of the world at the Dickens House, disguised as a famous author. This year, Edgar Allan Poe introduces a dashing upstart, William Shakespeare, as a new member to replace the recently departed Jules Verne. Spouting poetry, Will instantly captures the hearts of Mary Shelley, Charlotte Bronte and Louisa Mae Alcott. But romance is interrupted when Poe reads a nasty bit of correspondence announcing that each member of the society will die. Only mystery maven Agatha Christie takes the message seriously, but, alas, it’s too late. Emily Dickinson is the first to die, quickly followed by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Terror stalks the meeting as even the indomitable Mark Twain disappears. Only one thing is for sure — one of the famous authors is trying to kill the competition! Your actors will love portraying their favorite authors while your audiences will delight in this highly entertaining and fun peek at the very human side of great writers.

First published July 14, 2008

Feasting her way through an Italian honeymoon, Jen Lin-Liu was struck by culinary echoes of the delicacies she ate and cooked back in China, where she'd lived for more than a decade. Who really invented the noodle? she wondered, like many before her. With her new husband's blessing, she set out along the ancient trading route of the Silk Road to discover the connections, both historical and personal, eating a path through western China and on into Central Asia, Iran, Turkey, and across the Mediterranean.Her fascinating journey takes Lin-Liu into the private kitchens where the headscarves come off and women not only knead and simmer but also confess and confide. The thin rounds of dough stuffed with meat that are dumplings in Beijing evolve into manti in Turkey - their tiny size the measure of a bride's worth - and end as tortellini in Italy. And as she stirs and tastes, listening to the women talk about their lives and longings, Lin-Liu gains a new appreciation of her own marriage, learning to savour the sweetness of love freely chosen.'Lin-Liu's journey is a bold palate-awakening adventure, endearingly rendered.' - Publishers Weekly'A footloose, spontaneous and appetite-whetting journal of culinary adventure.' - Kirkus

Marin Preda

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

Povestea târfelor mele triste

Gabriel García Márquez

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.

The Ultimate Backup Guide: Saving, Syncing and Sharing Your Digital Life

Jeff Blum

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.

Cel mai iubit dintre pămînteni

Marin Preda

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

Bella di giorno

Joseph Kessel

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.

Chiquinho

Baltasar Lopes

Cabo Verde

First published January 1, 1947

Dalle isole di Capo Verde, "dieci puntini gettati a caso in mezzo all'Atlantico", ci arriva la storia del giovane Chiquinho. È lui stesso a raccontare la sua vita: l'infanzia, dominata dal mondo degli affetti e popolata di storie di fantasmi, sirene, eroi e cavalieri; l'adolescenza, con le amicizie, i primi amori e la nascita di una coscienza civile; la maturità e il difficile momento della scelta: rimanere nella propria terra e lottare per essa o imbarcarsi, come tanti conterranei, su una nave con la prua rivolta alle Americhe. Immerso nella 'marabeza', quello speciale tratto di affabilità che distingue i capoverdiani, e accompagnato dalla musica struggente della 'marna', il romanzo ci introduce in un mondo sempre in bilico fra terra e mare, dove chi resta è forte quanto chi parte e porterà sempre con sé la nostalgia del suo paese.

Historical Romance

First published November 27, 2012

When it comes to the Dangerous Rogues, one kiss is all it takes to start a scandal. Will the ends justify the means for two star-crossed lovers? Kate Farrow doesn’t care what anybody thinks. Her own mother ran off with a lover when Kate was just a young girl. Now her father has a different fate in store for her with his heart set on a union with the loathsome Duke of Westmoore. Still, how can she—a beautiful, proper, London-society woman—just pick up and run off with George Langsley? Too handsome for his own good, and a well-known rake to boot, he is surely not marriage material for Kate. But George ignites a passion in her that she cannot deny. Is her desire worth the risk?

Anaïs Nin

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.

In June 2011, Susan Spencer-Wendel learned she had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) - Lou Gehrig's disease, an irreversible condition that systematically destroys the nerves that power the muscles. While Susan cannot stop the rapid decline of her body and her inevitable death, she refuses to give up on life. A woman of immense strength and indomitable spirit, the forty-five-year-old mother of three has made every day count. After her diagnosis, Susan began taking special trips: to the Yukon, to see the Northern Lights with her best friend; to Budapest, where she and her husband spent the first two years of their marriage; to Northern California, to meet her birth mother; to Cyprus, the home country of the deceased birth father she never met. But one of her most important adventures was a visit to New York City and Kleinfeld's Bridal, where she and her fourteen-year-old daughter, Marina, shared an unforgettably moving experience: shopping for the perfect dress for a wedding Susan will not see. 'As my beautiful daughter walks out of the dressing room in white silk, I will see her ten years in the future, in the back room right before her wedding, giddy and crying, overwhelmed by a moment I will never share . . . When my only daughter thinks of me on her wedding day, as I hope she will, I want her to think of my smile when I say to her at Kleinfeld's, 'You are my beautiful.' ' News of Susan's remarkable story has spread across the world, and the response has been overwhelming. Now, in this unforgettable memoir, she invites readers on her transformational journey, sharing the gratitude and wisdom that guide her. 'I am writing about accepting, about living with joy and dying with joy and laughing a helluva lot in the process.' UNTIL I SAY GOOD-BYE is the fulfillment of her final wish: 'To make people laugh and cry and hug their children and joke with their friends and dwell in how wonderful it is to be alive.'

Anastasie Style, jeune étudiante en Lettres à l’université de Créteil remplace au pied levé Jennifer, son envahissante coloc portée sur la bouteille, et part interviewer Christian Glauque, richissime magnat de l’agro alimentaire, surnommé le « roi de l’andouille » (car c’est précisément ce que ses usines produisent). La rencontre ne va pas très bien se passer entre le bizness man hautain et l’étudiante qui n’a pas la langue dans sa poche. Hasard ou nécessité, leur chemin va néanmoins se croiser à nouveau dans des circonstances à chaque fois un peu plus explosives, jusqu’au feu d’artifice final… Pas de frissons sensuels dans cette parodie déjantée de "50 nuances de Grey", mais de la dérision, du délire et du rire ! Version revue et corrigée en septembre 2013, puis en 2016 NOTE IMPORTANTE : L'un des protagonistes de cette histoire ayant des origines hispaniques marquées, les paroles qu'il a l'occasion de prononcer ont été retranscrites en tentant autant que possible de conserver son savoureux accent. Pour ce faire, il a été nécessaire de prendre quelque liberté avec la grammaire et l'orthographe de notre belle langue afin d'espérer un rendu phonétique optimal. Ces fautes qui n'en sont donc pas vraiment représentent un choix pleinement assumé par l'auteur, et non pas le résultat d'une relecture bâclée.

How to Hook a Bookworm

Cassie Mae

Romance

First published January 2, 2015

Getting kissed for a birthday present should not be a big deal. Especially for Brea Mason, who doesn’t think of her best friend, Adam Silver, in any way other than… well, a friend. But after the liplock she can’t seem to get him off her mind. And she has to, because Adam is a senior while she’s stuck in high school for another two years. Then BAM, the perfect distraction comes along in the form of a new, hot sophomore who actually seems interested in Brea, despite her anti-social personality. And with the stress at home, stress at school, and ignoring the reality of all her friends leaving come June, Brea welcomes the distraction. But when she sees four fat Fs on her report card, Brea needs a study buddy, and the best candidate is Adam, book nerd and math whiz. So she enlists his help, hoping the birthday kiss was just a fluke. After all, she has a boyfriend now. It should be easy to ignore the butterflies and fizzy feelings that arise with the bookworm… right? Praise for HOW TO HOOK A BOOKWORM "Nobody does adorkable like Cassie Mae. Whether you're a nerd lover or not, How to Hook A Bookworm will have you falling in love with Adam and Brea. I laughed, I cried, I swooned, and I couldn't put the book down. Fans of the first to How To books are going to love Bookworm!" ~ Kelly Oram, author of Cinder and Ella "Cassie Mae is always awesome.

Georgië en Armenië

Karel Onwijn

First published January 1, 2010

In Armenië en Georgië vind je de hoogste bergtoppen van Europa, er wonen de meest gastvrije mensen van de wereld en bovendien bevinden zich daar de oudste bouwwerken uit de christelijke cultuur. Deze landen liggen onder de rook van Rusland en aan de rand van Turkije. Mede dankzij het heerlijke subtropische klimaat leven de Armeniër en de Georgiër minstens de helft van het jaar op straat en zijn het echte levensgenieters. In deze eerste Nederlandstalige reisgids over deze regio maakt de lezer uitgebreid kennis met de tradities en gewoonten van deze Kaukasische volkeren. Daarnaast toont de reisgids de verscheidenheid aan toeristische bezienswaardigheden en bestemmingen in deze regio: van wandel- en klimtochten naar nog nauwelijks bezochte bergtoppen, via middeleeuwse kloosters en kerken, tot jeepsafari's en al tijdens de tsarentijd ontstane spa's. En de strandliefhebber kan zijn hart ophalen aan de romantische stranden van de Georgische Zwarte Zee. Stedenaanbidders kunnen zonder zich maar een minuut te hoeven vervelen vele dagen doorbrengen in de kosmopolitische hoofdsteden van deze landen: het romantische Tbilisi en het luxe Jerevan.
