fact and fiction; factual in terms of the flying, hiking, and gold-mining two friends enjoyed; fictional in the form of a cleverly woven mystery concerning the loss of a World War II military aircraft. The story is well researched and so masterfully formulated the reader will be hard pressed to separate historical fact from fiction. Mystery in Trib 2 portrays wilderness Alaska accurately and as it can be experienced by anyone fired with a lust for outdoor adventure.By Thornton Wilder. 1955

Gold in Trib 1 is an account of a flying, hiking, and gold prospecting adventure in wild, present-day Alaska. It…
is the story of the exploits of two good friends and their adventures while prospecting for gold. It is a factual account where possible and where not factual, it is the way they would have liked it. As a result, readers will enjoy the book for what it is, and will not take it so seriously as to dash off with expectations of finding their fortune. There is still much gold in Alaska, but Douglas may have made discovering the Glory Hole, wherever it may be, sound somewhat easier and more financially rewarding than it really was.By L zaro Droznes, Damiano Galvani. 2014
Quattro clitoridi e un travestito completano questo gruppo di terapia il cui obiettivo è quello di analizzare i problemi che…
impediscono loro di ottenere orgasmi nella quantità e qualità desiderate. Guidati dalla psicologa, clitoride anche lei, esaminano i principali temi dell'agenda sessuale supportati da una struttura di "stand up" a sei voci attraverso la quale tutte le questioni che tanto inquietano le donne sono trattate con umorismo e un po' di intento didattico. Il travestito è la nota colorata del gruppo, perché essendo uomo e volendo essere essere donna, si unisce al gruppo per godere come il genere femminile.By Marco Cardelli. 2018

Klaus Braun Schneider is a Formula 1 driver at the height of his career. He’s living in glory, rewriting Brazil’s…
racing history. Beautiful and seductive, he’s the most wanted single man in the country. There’s nothing that Klaus Schneider doesn’t have: success, fame, money, and women. He’s faster than the wind, the world is at his feet, nothing can stop him. Except...fate. Anahí Saraíba is a physical therapist at the start of a promising career, torn between the white man’s culture and the simple way of life of her indigenous roots. She accepts a job caring exclusively for the recovery of a race driver that’s temporarily paraplegic. Klaus is a challenge for Anahi: depressive, rude, the typical problem-patient. At first, Klaus hates the therapist they found for him, Anahí is too bossy, irritating, combative and...gorgeous. But on a second look, love rearranges all around it, without asking, testing all limits.By F. Scott Fitzgerald. 2012

A small southern town gives birth to a dangerous man with a broken heart and a high-powered rifle... A young…
girl, caught up in an inner-city gang war, crosses the line from victim to avenger... An innocent man is hunted by government agents for an unspecified crime... A boy and a girl fall in love while ransacking a rich man's house during the waning days of the Vietnam War... A compromised psychiatrist confronts the unstable patient he slept with... A father and a son wage a lethal battle of wits over the whereabouts of a stolen diamond and a missing woman.In turn suspenseful, surreal, romantic, and tragically comic, these tales journey headlong into the heart of our myths - about class, gender, freedom, and regeneration through violence - and reveal that the truth waiting for us there is not what we'd expect.By Anderson Douglas. 2015
My Adventurous Friend is based on accounts of my friend Hagen's life, as he related it to me, and of…
the adventures we enjoyed together in Alaska. We would reminisce while sitting around a campfire in some wilderness area during our hikes and gold prospecting ventures. We could be debating current events and somehow our talk would drift back to events of earlier times. Over the years, piece by piece, I learned almost everything there was to know about my friend. Hagen had a varied and adventurous life beginning in wartime Germany and, by a circuitous route, eventually migrated to Alaska in 1973. Hagen had a longing for adventure and was never satisfied with the status-quo. He was strong, tenacious and once his mind was made up he would seldom deviate. In his mind, if it wasn't difficult then it wasn't worth doing. He always said he was born one hundred years too late to be a real pioneer but he sure did his best to emulate them. Hiking to our gold claim--forty miles from the nearest gravel road--and making it there alone in the dead of the Alaska winter was almost enough to satisfy his craving for adventure.By Douglas Anderson. 2015
Douglas Anderson, the author, was born in Derbyshire, England. After his father passed away, Douglas went to live on his…
Grandfather's farm. Never very interested in animal husbandry, he leaned more toward the mechanical aspects of farming: maintaining and operating machinery. After an apprenticeship in the mechanical field, Douglas joined Rolls-Royce and began an interesting and diverse career. In the ensuing years, that career encompassed: jet engines, rocket engines and industrial gas turbines. Douglas immigrated to Canada in 1967, to the USA in 1977 and back to Canada in 2001. An adventurous fourteen years while supporting RR products in Alaska prompted Douglas to write and to become a published author. For many years, Anderson traveled and represented the company. Representing covers those years and some of the situations, humorous and otherwise, that he and his fellow Reps encountered at home base and at far-away places. The characters are real and these events actually happened as described. Most are documented for the first time in Representing.By Thornton Wilder, John Guare. 1957

Peter Temple held crime writing up to the light and, with his poet's ear and eye, made it his own…
incomparable thing.Peter Temple started publishing novels late, when he was fifty, but then he got cracking. He wrote nine novels in thirteen years. Along the way he wrote screenplays, stories, dozens of reviews.When Temple died in March 2018 there was an unfinished Jack Irish novel in his drawer. It is included in The Red Hand, and it reveals the master at the peak of his powers. The Red Hand also includes the screenplay of Valentine's Day, an improbably delightful story about an ailing country football club, which in 2007 was adapted for television by the ABC. Also included are his short fiction, his reflections on the Australian idiom, a handful of autobiographical fragments, and a selection of his brilliant book reviews. .
