Las Vegas, 1974. Kaszinók, szerencselovagok és a sivatag. Itt kezd?d?tt minden Jack Delton életében. Az els? kísértés, az els? b?n, az els? nagy kaszálás. A kamasz fiú itt tanulja meg, hogyan kell megfigyelni az embereket, hogyan kell a b?rük alá bújni, hogyan kell senkivé válni – hogy aztán évekkel kés?bb mint profi b?n?z? kamatoztathassa kül?nleges képességét az FBI ügyn?keivel és az alvilággal szemben. Jack Delton ugyanis nem létezik. A szakmában csak úgy ismerik: a Szellem. Nincs bankszámlája, nem használ útlevelet, nincs nyoma egyik nyilvántartásban sem. Nem lehet megfogni… Roger Hobbs huszonnégy évesen megírta els? nemzetk?zi bestsellerét. A Ghostman egy évvel kés?bb minden jelent?s kriminek járó irodalmi díjat bes?p?rt, huszon?t országban vették meg a kiadás jogait, és nagyszabású film készül bel?le. A rajongók kérésére Hobbs megírta Jack Delton el?t?rténetét, amelyben felfedi a Szellem valódi kilétét.

The Conscience of Disillusion: Losing the purpose of life to accept the truth

The Love of the Nympho

意大利语属罗曼语族，源自古罗马时代作为日常用语的拉丁语，其发展历时三千余年，见证了意大利壮美的文明史。中意两国人民都是千年光荣文化传统的传承者。从连长安与罗马的古丝绸之路始，中意两国间的交流已跨越了数千年的漫长岁月，友谊历久弥坚。近50年来，两国之间的关系更是日趋紧密，达到了前所未有的高度。 在这样的历史和文化背景下，汉语教学始在意大利各地普及，意大利人亦越来越早地始学习汉语。上世纪90年代，意大利仅有4所高等学府设汉语课程。近年来，情况发生了根本的变化:意大利公共*决定把汉语引意大利境内的高中课程，使学生在传统的欧洲语言之外，还能掌握另外一门重要的语言，为他们顺利就业市场做好准备。另一方面，意大利语的普及程度也不断提高。根据官方统计数据，意大利语已经成为继英语、西班牙语和汉语之后学习者人数*多的第四大语言。出于对意大利艺术、文化乃至烹饪的酷爱，20152016年间全球意大利语学习者的数量足足增加了40万。与此同时，在意大利留学的中国学生人数也持续增多。若将艺术和美术等专科学校计算在内，现共有2万余名中国学生在意大利各所大学就读。 2006年7月，上海外语教育出版社出版了由我编纂的《外教社简明意汉-汉意词典》。由于顺应两种语言的学习热潮，词典首版后曾十余次加印。不宁唯是，2007年该词典由外教社授权意大利 Hoepli出版社出版，罗马大学副校长、著名汉学家费代利科·马西尼Federico Masini）教授为之撰写了序言。词典一经面世同样大获成功。 本词典是《外教社简明意汉-汉意词典的增订版。为反映近十年来语言的发展和变化，增订版实现了内容的更新:除了对所有条目作出全面修订之外，另增添6，000余个词条和义项。本词典的编写原则和宗旨是为了更好地满足双语词典查阅者的实际需要，收录的常用词汇既考虑到实用性，也顾及到系统性。为帮助外国读者学习汉语，所有释义均提供汉语拼音注音。此外，在正文后附有意大利语动词变位表，可供广大读者查阅。 就质量和实用性而言，我希望自己倾心尽力编纂的这本词典是一部查阅方便的高效工具书。

Commands to kill, to commit ethnic cleansing, to institutionalize segregation, to hate and fear other races and religions all are in the Bible, and all occur with a far greater frequency than in the Qur’an. But fanaticism is no more hard-wired in Christianity than it is in Islam. In Laying Down the Sword, one of America’s best scholars of religion” (The Economist) explores how religions grow past their bloody origins, and delivers a fearless examination of the most violent verses of the Bible and an urgent call to read them anew in pursuit of a richer, more genuine faith.Christians cannot engage with neighbors and critics of other traditions nor enjoy the deepest, most mature embodiment of their own faith until they confront the texts of terror in their heritage. Philip Jenkins identifies the holy amnesia” that, while allowing *ural religions to grow and adapt, has demanded a nearly wholesale suppression of the Bible’s most aggressive passages, leaving them dangerously dormant for extremists to revive in times of conflict. Jenkins lays bare the whole Bible, without compromise or apology, and equips us with tools for reading even the most unsettling texts, from the slaughter of the Canaanites to the alarming rhetoric of the book of Revelation.Laying Down the Sword presents a vital framework for understanding both the Bible and the Qur’an, gives Westerners a credible basis for interaction and dialogue with Islam, and delivers a powerful model for how a faith can grow from terror to mercy.

As he did in the Edgar-nominated and Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity Awards winning Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks, Christie expert and archivist John Curran once again examines the unpublished notebooks of the world's bestselling author to explore the techniques she used to surprise and entertain generations of readers.Drawing on Christie's personal papers and letters, he reveals how more than twenty of her novels, as well as stage *s, short stories, and some more personal items, evolved. Here are wonderful gems, including Christie's essay on her famous detective, Hercule Poirot, written for a British national newspaper in the 1930s; a previously unseen version of a "Miss Marple" short story; and a courtroom chapter from her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, which was edited out of the published version in 1920; plus an insightful, well-reasoned analysis of her final unfinished novel, based on the author's notes and Curran's own deep knowledge of Christie and her work.A must-read for every Christie aficionado, Agatha Christie: Murder in the Making is a fascinating look into the mind and craft of one of the world's most prolific and beloved authors.

This is an essential book for everyone who wants to write clearly about any subject and use writing as a means of learning.

In the two and a half years since the first edition appeared (April 2005), events have unfolded as predicted. Then the consensus among forecasters was that the boom in house prices would cool to an annual 2 or 3% rise over the following years. In fact, in keeping with the ‘winner’s curse’ phase of the cycle described by the author, prices rose by more than 10% per annum in Britain. Harrison’s first book, The Power in the Land, predicted the early 1990s recession. Boom Bust, warned that investing in property is not always a safe bet, because the housing market is subject to a sharp downturn at the end of a remarkably regular 18-year cycle. The crash of 2007/8 occurred exactly as predicted. His forecast was based on a careful study of the evidence from property markets in many countries over the last 200 years. Gordon Brown’s claim, last made in his 2007 Budget speech, that ‘we will never return to the old boom and bust’ has been proved false. The reason for the instability, Harrison explains, is not the housing market itself but the land market on which all buildings stand. Land is in fixed supply ‘ as Mark Twain noted: ‘They’re not making any more of it’. Therefore, as the demand for land for new homes and offices rises with population growth and economic expansion, market forces, which normally increase supply to reduce prices, have the reverse effect: prices rise. This encourages speculation, with banks lending more against escalating asset values and reinforcing the upward spiral. Under existing government policies, the only way land prices can be brought back to affordable levels is a slump, undermining the banking system and causing widespread unemployment and repossessions. This is exactly what happened in America with the collapse of the sub-prime mortgage market. The run on Northern Rock showed the UK economy is not immune. The author reveals that the government’s monetary policy only has a marginal impact on land speculation, but as the Bank of England raises interest rates to curb house price inflation, the main victim is the first-time buyer and the productive economy, especially small businesses. The only way to neutralise the boom bust cycle in the housing market is through a reform of taxation, he claims. ‘This book is an important contribution to an overdue debate.’ Martin Ricketts, Chairman of the Academic Advisory Council of the Institute of Economic Affairs and Professor of Economic Organisation, University of Buckingham. Endorsing the thrust of Harrison’s argument, Prof. Ricketts goes on to acknowledge ‘that insufficient attention has been given by policymakers to the rent of land as socially the most efficient source of public revenue’, and that that will ‘have important practical consequences … for the stability of the economic system’. Economic stability is the objective of Gordon Brown and most governments around the world. Harrison explains how this may be achieved.
