***PRE-ORDER THE FIRST BOOK IN THE GRIPPING AND EPIC DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL SERIES ***THE APOCALYPSE WILL BE TELEVISED!You know what's worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat.And you know what's worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic, intergalactic game show.That's what.And now Coast Guard veteranarian Carl and his ex-girlfriend's cat, Princess Donut, must try to survive the end of the world-or just get to the next level-in a video game-like, trap-filled, fantasy dungeon.A dungeon that's actually the set of a reality TV show with countless viewers across the galaxy. So not only do they have to stay alive, but they also need to earn ratings based on their performance.Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain't your ordinary game show.Keeping viewers entertained is essential. Survival, however, is not. WELCOME TO THE FIRST BOOK IN THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL SERIES BY MATT DINNIMAN.--- PRAISE --- "Fresh. Creative. Hilarious. I'm obsessed...Princess Donut is my queen." - Actor, producer and New York Times bestselling author Felicia Day"I don't always say nice things about a book just because the writer has compromising pictures of me engaging in some very complicated international crimes, but when I do, I say them about Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl! Also, this series has no goddamn business burying so much depth and emotion and complexity under its bawdy, gory surface, but it does so anyway. What a wild-ass and unexpected delight." - New York Times bestselling author Scott Lynch"[A] comically cosmic adventure series...often laugh-out-loud funny...Grind your way to dungeon mastery alongside Carl and Princess Donut." - The Wall Street Journal"This is the book for anyone who ever wondered what it would be like to be a role player in a game with the best game master ever. Also for anyone who wants to read a good book. Or maybe anyone who has been outside at night-in their underwear-looking for their cat and wondering 'What's the worst thing that could happen?' Once you start, you won't put it down." - Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson series"One of the most bananapants, funny, inventive books I have read in a while." - Book Riot"If there's a better LitRPG than Dungeon Crawler Carl, I haven't read it." - Shirtaloon, author of He Who Fights Monsters"Dungeon Crawler Carl is just one big smile all the way through. Put on your best pair of boxer shorts and sit back for a truly fun and enjoyable read."-New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson"Dungeon Crawler Carl is the best start to a series I've read this year. I wish I'd tried it sooner." - Will Wight, author of the Cradle series"To describe the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, and the first book in particular, one must blend the darkest, grittiest science fiction with the humour of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It mixes fun, whimsical absurdity, and serious, dark themes with dire consequences...it is so spectacularly good that I cannot recommend it high enough." - Grimdark Magazine"Dinniman's Douglas-Adams-but-playing-D&D romp was so much fun that I immediately went out and got the next two books...genuinely joyful." - LitHub.com
In seiner virtuosen Klavierbearbeitung von Schumanns "Widmung" ("Du meine Seele, du mein Herz") wendet Franz Liszt das verinnerlichte Lied in ein dramatisches Bekenntnis, das bei "Mein guter Geist, mein bess'res Ich" mit con somma passione gespielten Akkorden seinen klanggewaltigen Höhepunkt erreicht. Der Melodie ist in Liszts Autograph auch der Liedtext der Vorlage überlegt, den Titel hingegen ändert er zu "Liebeslied". Die 1848 in Leipzig erschienene Erstausgabe übernimmt dies getreu - weswegen dieselbe Melodie heute unter zwei verschiedenen Titeln bekannt ist. In Zusammenarbeit mit der Liszt-Forscherin Mária Eckhardt legt der Henle-Verlag diese bekannteste aller Liszt-Schumann-Bearbeitungen in bewährter Henle-Urtext-Qualität vor.

Grace has landed the lead in a new TV series-but when the director asks her to lose fifteen pounds, she goes public with her weight struggles and suddenly develops a huge fan club who support her right to have curves. But between that and the public's continuing fascination with her "are they or aren't they" relationship with Jack, Grace begins to wonder if anyone's really interested in her because of her upcoming TV series, or if it's all speculation about the size of her ass and her bedroom partner. Meanwhile, Jack is voted the Sexiest Man Alive and becomes a little too enamored with the party-hard lifestyle. Grace vows to give him the space he needs to find himself, but then he begins to spiral down from lovable Brit to Hollywood brat. People are talking, but are Jack and Grace? Her career is on the rise, and his continues into the stratosphere, but will she be able to catch him if he falls? Will they ever be able to just be a couple who can hold hands when they walk down the street?

Dient die Kandare in der geschulten Reiterhand der Hilfenverfeinerung, kann sie, von einem ungeübten Reiter eingesetzt, großen Schaden anrichten. Der Autor Bent Branderup gibt einen Überblick über die Geschichte der Kandare. Er beschreibt die Ausbildung des jungen Pferdes bis zur Kandarenreife und führt den Leser sachkundig in die Lektionen der hohen Schule ein. Wie eine Kandare wirkt, was für Kandarenformen es gibt und wie hoch der Leistungsstand des Reiters sein muss sind weitere Themen dieses anschaulich illustrierten Sachbuchs.
This study argues that modern fiction, from Kate Chopin and Virginia Woolf to William Faulkner and Doris Lessing, surges with libidinal currents. The most powerful of these fictions are not merely about sex; rather, they attempt to incorporate the workings of eros into their narrative forms. In doing so, these modern fictions of sexuality create a politics and poetics of the perverse with the power to transform how we think about and read modernism. Challenging overarching theories of the novel by mapping the historical contexts that have influenced modern experimental narratives, Joseph Allen Boone constructs a model for interpreting sexuality that reaches from Freud's theory of the libidinal instincts to Foucault's theory of sexual discourse. A study of the links between literary modernity and the psychology of sex, this text is a survey of modernist fiction, gay studies/queer theory, feminist criticism, and studies in sexuality and gender.
