Bu kitap, potensiyel olarak ölümcül bir kalp rahatsızlığı olan Uzun QT Sendromunu (UQTS) anlatıyor. Hem kendisinin hem de kızının bu…
hastalığı asemptomatik olarak taşıması ile, yazar Alatorre okuyucuya, ailede olup bitenleri bazen bir mizah içinde bazen de esinlendirici olarak sunuyor. Bunu yaparken de, kendi kızının etkinlikleri ve günlük yaşamı içine, UQTS ile savaşan diğer insanların öykülerini de serpiştirerek süslüyor. Bu insanların UQTS'li olduklarını nasıl öğrendikleri, bu hastalıkla nasıl uğraştıkları ve yaşamlarını nasıl sürdürdükleri akıcı bir dille anlatılıyor. Bu hastalığı taşıyan kimi insanların, hastalığı taşıdıklarının farkına bile varmadan yaşamlarını normal bir şekilde sürdürüyorlar veya bu hastalıktan ölüp gidiyor. Bazılarına tesadüf eseri UQTS tanısı konuyor ve ilaç ve cihazlarla yaşamlarına devam ediyor. Diğer bazılarının da öbür dünyaya çok kısa ziyaret ettikten sonra geri döndürülüyorlar, büyük ızdıraplardan sonra tanılanabiliyor ve devamında yaşamlarını sürdürüyor. Yazar, bütün bunları, insanların bir mayın tarlasından geçip gitmelerine benzetiyor. Yazarın benzetmesine göre insanlar, mayınlı arazide olduklarını bilmeden geçerken, tesadüfen kıllarına zarar gelmeden geçip gidiyor veya bazıları mayına basıp ölebiliyor, diğer bazıları yaralı olarak kurtuluyor ve bazı müdahalelerle yaşamlarını sürdürüyorlar.Bu hastalığı taşıyan insanlara, potensiyel olarak ölümcül bir hastalık olmasına rağmen, UQTS tanısı konmasının bir umut ışığı olduğunu belirterek kendilerinin şanslı olduklarının altı çiziliyor. Bunu, yaşamı sürdürmek için, tanısı konularak sorunun ne olduğunu bilmek hiç bilmemekten çok daha iyi seçim olduğunu belirterek onların daha mutlu bir yaşam sürdürmeleri için cesaret veriyor.By Giselle Renarde, Luiza Aragón Pedrada. 2016

"Good Lord, Jeeves! Is there anything you don't know?""I could not say, sir."That, in brief, is the essence of the…
relationship between aristocrat Bertie Wooster and his dryly superior valet, Jeeves. Originally published in The Strand magazine from 1918 to 1922 and later collected as The Inimitable Jeeves, these ten tales by comedic master P. G. Wodehouse abound in sparkling wit. "Scoring off Jeeves" recounts a lunch with Aunt Agatha ("A pretty frightful ordeal ... Practically the nearest thing to being disemboweled."), who insists that Bertie propose to Honaria Glossop ("simply nothing more nor less than a pot of poison"), necessitating Jeeves' rescue of the perennial bachelor ("and according to my nearest and dearest, practically a half-witted bachelor at that"). Other stories include "The Delayed Exit of Claude and Eustace," featuring Bertie's frolicsome cousins ("as innocuous as a pair of sprightly young tarantulas"); "Aunt Agatha Takes the Count," involving our hero's formidable relative and her intrusion upon his vacation in the south of France; and "Comrade Bingo," in which Bertie's school chum masquerades as a Bolshevist and Jeeves comes very near to being rattled.By C. P. Boyko. 2014
Novelists: the soul of an age, certainly. Brilliant? Perhaps. Yet aren't they also doddering, petulant, pedantic, knockkneed, skittish, and thunderingly…
insecure-resentful, awkward, annoying-demanding, deluded, and vexingly indifferent to reality? New from short fiction devotée C.P. Boyko, Novelists is a comedy of manners (and manuscripts), rivalling Vanity Fair for its satirical wit... though not, mercifully, for its length.By M.A.C. Farrant. 2014
In The World Afloat, a series of seventy-five "miniatures" that melds narrative with elements of prose poem and farce, master…
of the absurd and expert observer M.A.C. Farrant peers into the complexities of human experience - through the rear window.Inside the linoleum-lined kitchens and lace-trimmed living rooms that drift through these stories, Farrant interrupts the daily routines - doctor's appointments, gardening, mealtimes - of her eccentric yet familiar characters with intensely surreal, laugh-out-loud moments. What happens when a whimsical spirit becomes captive to a middle-aged body? At the end of a Love Your Package workshop, what does the wrap-up dinner look like? Can a soggy tomato salad really end someone's marriage? Brimming with pathos and bathos in equal measure, Farrant's smart prose offers escape and renewal from the monotony of modern life, while at the same time poking fun at her readers' pathological devotion to the technology and interpersonal relationships that leave them feeling bored and empty.Sexuality and depravity, childhood and bad parenting, and love and divorce are all deftly handled in this hot flash of a book that goes straight to the heart of things. As each "miniature" reads stranger (and truer) than the one before, Farrant manages to coax her readers from their well-worn, earthbound narratives and into a world afloat on satire, absurdity, and, in her most brilliant moments, expansive joy.By Alicia Cameron, Daniela Maizner. 2017
Im England der Regency-Zeit steht Mrs. Thornes Akademie der jungen Damen nach dem Tod von Clarissas Mutter kurz vor der…
Schließung. Die junge 18-jährige Clarissa Thorne und ihre drei Freundinnen, die als Lehrerinnen in der Akademie tätig waren, sehen sich daher gezwungen, als mittellose, unverheiratete Frauenzimmer in den Schoß ihrer jeweiligen Familien zurückzukehren, um ein Leben in Schuft und Schinderei zu führen. Doch es kommt, dass Clarissa das riesige Anwesen Ashcroft erbt und somit sich und ihren Freundinnen einen Ausweg bieten kann – hinein in ein Leben voller Unabhängigkeit und Abenteuer. Sie müssen das Anwesen mit wenig Geld und noch weniger Erfahrung wieder auf Vordermann bringen. Können die pragmatische Miss Micklethwaite, die ewig romantische, aber bereits alternde Miss Appleby und die wunderschöne Miss Oriana Petersham ihrem Schicksal entkommen? Zumindest müssen sie den Versuch wagen und die lebhafte und impulsive Clarissa unterstützen. Wie dem auch sei, ihre Verwandten haben andere Pläne… Als sie auf ihrer Reise den Earl of Grandiston und seinen Gefährten (einen ergebenen Verehrer der bildschönen Oriana) treffen, wird jedoch eine Kette unvorhergesehener Ereignisse losgetreten. Dem Abenteuer fügen die Damen noch einen Schuss Romantik hinzu.By Catherine Dussault, Alicia Cameron. 2017
En Angleterre, sous la Régence, l’Académie pour jeunes filles de madame Thorne doit fermer ses portes en raison de la…
mort de la mère de Clarissa, madame Thorne, survenue un an plus tôt. Voilà qui laisse cette jeune femme de dix-huit ans et ses trois amies, toutes enseignantes à l’Académie, sans autre choix que de retourner auprès de leur famille comme ces parentes pauvres, ces femmes sans importance qui doivent se résoudre à obéir au doigt et à l’œil à tous ceux qui les entourent, sans espoir d’une vie meilleure. Toutefois, Clarissa vient tout juste d’hériter d’Ashcroft, un grand domaine malheureusement fort négligé, et elle offre à ses compagnes une autre solution : s’enfuir avec elle vers une vie d’indépendance et d’aventure. Elles devront remettre le domaine en état avec somme toute peu d’argent et aucune expérience. La raisonnable mademoiselle Micklethwaite, l’infatigable romantique mademoiselle Appleby et la sublime Oriana Petersham peuvent-elles tromper leur destin ? Pour veiller au bien-être de cette énergique, mais impulsive Clarissa, elles devront au moins tenter leur chance. Il va sans dire que leurs parents ont d’autres plans pour elles… Une rencontre avec le comte de Grandiston et son compagnon, un soupirant de la divine Oriana, sur la route lancera une série d’événements hilarants. Peut-être que l’amour se mêlera également à l’aventure pour ces dames…By Mary Ellen Johnson. 2018
"I was captivated by the beautiful covers from the start and that captivation just carried straight through from page one…
to the end of each book." ~Jeannette R HolthamA Breathtaking Medieval Saga of Love, Duty, Loyalty, Failure and Triumph in the First Three Volumes of The Knights of England by Mary Ellen Johnson BOOK 1: The Lion and the Leopard - Maria Rendell wants to be a dutiful wife to husband Phillip, but can't deny her attraction to their liege lord, Richard of Sussex. Loving Philip should be easy. She has married the knight of whom minstrels sing; the knight who saved Richard's life. But when Phillip abandons Maria to indulge his wanderlust, she turns to Richard, sparking a passionate affair amidst the crumbling kingdom of Edward II. Meanwhile, Edward II's barons are rebelling, executing his favorites, and across the channel in France, Isabella, Edward II's wife—the She-Wolf of France—plans to invade England. Then King Edward is captured as Richard and Maria prepare to flee to safety, and Phillip returns. Now the day of reckoning is at hand—not only for Maria, Richard, and Phillip, but for that most unfortunate of Plantagenet kings, Edward II.BOOK 2: A Knight There Was - Following his return from battle with a life-threatening sickness, Margery Watson nurses Golden Knight Matthew Hart back to health. A bond deepening between them, Matthew--who refuses to marry so his younger brother may inherit all--begs Margery to openly live with him. Margery agrees. Like her grandmother before her, she will risk all for love. But a scheming adversary concocts a deception in Matthew's absence that leaves Margery the unwitting wife of a wealthy goldsmith--who seeks only to trade on her family name--while believing she was betrayed by Matthew. When Matthew returns from London to find Margery wedded and bedded, he accuses her of betraying HIM. Now, both Margery and Matthew foolishly believe that time, distance and heartbreak will be enough to keep them forever apart.BOOK 3: Within A Forest Dark - With his belief in the Perfection of Knighthood challenged by battlefield atrocities, Matthew Hart returns to London, wishing to reunite with his first love, Margery Watson. Margery's cruel husband is now dead. As a wealthy widow, she has no intention of returning to the bonds of marriage. But she cannot turn away her handsome knight, no matter the depth of innocent blood he spilled in the name of honor and duty. As Matthew forces himself to fulfill feudal obligations, and Margery's unrest turns treasonous, the forces of king and kingdom may prove the lovers' ultimate undoing or their best hope.Publisher Note: Readers with a passion for history will appreciate the author's penchant for detail and accuracy. This story contains scenes of brutality which are true to the time and man's inhumanity. There are a limited number of sexual scenes and NO use of modern vulgarity.

Révolution, que teve sua primeira aparição na revista Opium de humor cáustico; outras são mais cordiais, apesar de retratos cômicos de mulheres rebeldes. Desde a envelhecida Betty Jo, que se sente tão ignorada que cogita assaltar um banco, até a negligenciada Maude, de 10 anos, que busca em um Elvis de fantasia o amor negado por sua família patrícia; e também a versão sanguinária e adolescente de Madame Defarge. Essas mulheres, velhas e jovens, rebelam-se contra os estereótipos e papeis tradicionais que as reprimem. E é por isso, claro, que a vovó comprou aquele carro.By Woody Allen. 2007

man who needs no Introduction. Really-this book has no Introduction. The Insanity Defense reveals many sides of Woody Allen as he holds forth on the most human of urges ("Why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only for food: frequently there must be a beverage"); reflects on death ("I don't believe in an afterlife, although I am bringing a change of underwear"); and notes the effect on history wrought by trick chewing gum, the dribble glass, and other novelties. There is also an inspiring story of the futile race to beat Dr. Heimlich to the punch: "The food went down the wrong pipe, and choking occurred. Grasping the mouse firmly by the tail, I snapped it like a small whip, and the morsel of cheese came loose. If we can transfer the procedure to humans, we may have something. Too early to tell. " All Woody Allen fans will cherish this uproarious treasury-and those who don't enjoy The Insanity Defense are just plain crazy. "If you don't care if you break into helpless whoops of laughter on buses, trains, or wherever you happen to be reading it. " -Chicago Tribune, on Without Feathers "Brilliant flights of fancy whose comic detail and inspired silliness are at once dramatic and controlled.

RUINS, by Mary Ellen JohnsonMedieval England from the Aftermath of 1381 Peasants’ Revolt to the Deposition and Murder of Richard II on 14 Feb 1400As the former boy king, Richard II, approaches his third decade, Matthew Hart and England’s other great lords struggle to deflect his more destructive impulses, which increasingly threaten the kingdom.Amidst attempted assassinations, growing civil war and political intrigue, Matthew Hart, his beloved wife, Margery Watson, and their offspring live and love and war their way through the last years of the fourteenth century, seeing the deposition and murder of England’s most tyrannical monarch.Publisher's Note: Readers with a passion for history will appreciate the author's penchant for detail and accuracy. In keeping with the era, this story contains scenes of brutality which are true to the time and man's timeless inhumanity. There are a limited number of sexual scenes and NO use of modern vulgarity.From the Author: There is nothing new under the sun. If we seek to understand today’s events, history will always provide the answer. By 1398 the megalomaniacal Richard II had consolidated his power, executed or banished all his enemies and destroyed all those who might speak out in opposition to him. Two years later Richard was deposed, thrown into a dungeon in Pontefract Castle and starved to death.

A snowman who, on the wish of a child, comes to life in a decidedly less savory way than in the childhood classic. And in the title story, a time-hopping 1940s starlet tries to claw her way to the top in modern-day Hollywood, despite being ridiculously unwoke. In this uproarious, addictive debut, Jen Spyra takes a culture that seems almost beyond parody and holds it up to a funhouse mirror, immersing the reader in a world of prehistoric influencers, woodland creatures plagued by millennial neuroses, and an all-out birthday bash determined to be the most lavish celebration of all time, by any means necessary.
