'Brilliant and breathtaking...sexy and sad' A.M. Homes In his struggle to understand what has happened to his family, how his wife could fall in love with another man after twenty happy years, Jon attempts to tell the story of the painful collapse of his marriage, but from her point of view. He tries to get inside her head, to see it all as she did, all the while knowing that he can never really achieve this, and that his efforts reveal more projection than insight. How can one truly know another person? How much of what we think is love, is just a construct? Is it possible to find and maintain the great love we long for? Gulliksen explores these questions, turning them over again and again till they crack, revealing hollowness or possible new meanings. Intense, erotic, dramatic, raw Story of a Marriage examines two people's inner lives with devastating and fearless honesty. It is a gripping but slippery narrative of obsession and deceit, of a couple striving for happiness and freedom and intimacy, but ultimately falling apart. Autorid: Geir Gulliksen, Deborah Dawkin
Two Sisters. One Single Event. A Family Changed Forever. At the turn of the twentieth century, sisters Emmy and Callie Bullock are living a privileged life as the only daughters of a wealthy Alabama cotton farmer when their well-ordered household gets turned upside down by the arrival of Lily McGee. Arrestingly beautiful, Lily quickly--and innocently--draws the wrong kind of attention. Meanwhile, Callie meets a man who offers her the freedom to abandon social constraints and discover her truest self. After Lily has a baby, Callie witnesses something she was never meant to see--or did she? Her memory is a haze, just an image in her mind of Emmy standing on a darkened riverbank and cradling Lily's missing baby girl. Only when the sisters are separated does the truth slowly come to light through their letters--including a revelation that will shape the rest of Callie's life. Bestselling author Valerie Fraser Luesse weaves a complex and suspenseful tale dripping with intrigue, romance, and Southern charm. *** "A nuanced and heartwarming tale of sisterly love and community."--Library Journal "Rich with historical details, Luesse's fascinating glimpse into the Old South combines an engaging mystery with sweet romance and social justice."--Booklist starred review Autorid: Valerie Fraser Luesse

Rich and various, From Base Materials ranges thematically from violence towards women, love in old age and surviving cancer to translations from Arabic and Russian and a topical re-imagining of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. The poems speak of formation, transformation and the struggles of the human spirit to transmute 'base matter' and accept mortality and frailty of the flesh with courage and compassion. For the long poem, 'Love in Old Age', Jenny Lewis says: 'Although it addresses a lover, it is really about multiple experiences of love (both real and imagined) throughout a long life and how I am as much a literary construct as a human individual. I have drawn on literature that has shaped me, including the Epic of Gilgamesh, early Celtic nature poetry and hermit poetry and, more recently, feminist writings such as those of Hélène Cixous.'

The working of rough materials into useful tools, weapons, and ornaments dates back to time immemorial. It is known that man lived in the stone age for thousands of years, when the only useful tools and weapons available were those which could be fashioned from the minerals and rocks provided by Nature. At least one hundred thousand years ago primitive man first learned the art of working an edge or point on some hard mineral, to be used as a tool or weapon. Later came the development of the lapidary art for the production of ornaments, and, ever since, precious stones have been an important part of human culture. Contained within this fascinating book is an interesting and informative treatise on gem-cutting, detailing its history, development, and modern application. A perfect book for anyone interested in the subject, this book will also make a great addition to any collection of gemmological literature. The sections of this book are: Cabochon Cutting, Facet Cutting, and Gemmology, each containing detailed subchapters within. We are proud to republish this scarce antiquarian book complete with a new introduction to the subject.

Ein Dorf schweigt.§§Ribberow - Grausiger Fund im Weiher§Am Wochenende machten Jugendliche beim Angeln eine schauerliche Entdeckung: In dem Gewässer kam ein Skelett zum Vorschein. Dabei handelt es sich um die Überreste von Frank Schelk. Der Tote war an Teile eines Ackerpflugs gefesselt und lag offenbar bereits fünf Jahre im Weiher. Die Polizei geht von Mord aus. Für Angaben aus der Bevölkerung, wer Schelk zuletzt gesehen hat oder für Hinweise, wo sich der Rest des Ackerpflugs befindet, ist die Polizei dankbar. §Schockiert lässt Jannek die Zeitung sinken. Der Pflug steht in der Scheune seiner Oma ... §Präzise und ungeheuer fesselnd, offenbart sich nach und nach das Ausmaß eines erschreckenden Geheimnisses, in das die Dorfbewohner verstrickt sind.
In Cory Doctorow's wildly successful Little Brother, young Marcus Yallow was arbitrarily detained and brutalized by the government in the wake of a terrorist attack on San Francisco―an experience that led him to become a leader of the whole movement of technologically clued-in teenagers, fighting back against the tyrannical security state.A few years later, California's economy collapses, but Marcus's hacktivist past lands him a job as webmaster for a crusading politician who promises reform. Soon his former nemesis Masha emerges from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump of hard evidence of corporate and governmental perfidy. It's incendiary stuff―and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. Then Marcus sees Masha being kidnapped by the same government agents who detained and tortured Marcus years earlier.Marcus can leak the archive Masha gave him―but he can't admit to being the leaker, because that will cost his employer the election. He's surrounded by friends who remember what he did a few years ago and regard him as a hacker hero. He can't even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. He's not at all sure that just dumping the archive onto the Internet, before he's gone through its millions of words, is the right thing to do.Meanwhile, people are beginning to shadow him, people who look like they're used to inflicting pain until they get the answers they want.Fast-moving, passionate, and as current as next week, Homeland is every bit the equal of Little Brother―a paean to activism, to courage, to the drive to make the world a better place.

Garth Ennis schuf mit The Boys eine Serie, die böser und realistischer nicht sein kann. The Boys spielt quasi in unserer Welt - mit der Ausnahme, dass es Superhelden wirklich gibt. Eine geheime CIA-Einsatztruppe mit dem Namen The Boys überwacht die Aktivitäten der Helden und schreitet ein, wenn diese über die Stränge schlagen.
