One woman's dark past becomes another's deadly future In 2003, sixteen-year-old Rebecca Winter disappeared. She'd been enjoying her summer working at a fast-food restaurant, crushing on an older boy and shoplifting with her best friend. Then ominous things began to happen—a presence in her room at night, blackouts, a feeling of being watched. Eleven years later, she is replaced. A young woman, desperate after being arrested, claims to be the decade-missing Bec. Soon the imposter is living Bec's life. Sleeping in her bed. Hugging her mother and father. Playing with her little brothers. But Bec's welcoming family and enthusiastic friends are not quite as they seem. As the imposter dodges the detective investigating her case, she begins to delve into the life of the real Bec Winter—and soon realizes that whoever took Bec is still at large, and that she is in imminent danger.

A searing, postapocalyptic novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy’s masterpiece. 　　 　　A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. They sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearting, a cart of scavenged food—and each other. 　　 　　The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, “each the other’s world entire,” are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.

　　WINNER OF THE 2009 MAN BOOKER PRIZE 　　WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR FICTION 　　A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 　　England in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the king dies without a male heir, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of twenty years and marry Anne Boleyn. The pope and most of Europe opposes him. Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell: a wholly original man, a charmer and a bully, both idealist and opportunist, astute in reading people, and implacable in his ambition. But Henry is volatile: one day tender, one day murderous. Cromwell helps him break the opposition, but what will be the price of his triumph? 　　In inimitable style, Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall is "a darkly brilliant reimagining of life under Henry VIII. . . . Magnificent." (The Boston Globe).

How the German Oskar Schindler came to save more than one thousand Polish Jews during the Holocaust is one of the most fascinating stories of the century. Although millions are now learning about Schindler through Steven Spielberg's recent Academy AwardR-winning film, his achievement first gained prominence with Keneally's 1982 "facticious" novel (which is also the basis for the film). Keneally's account is less melodramatic than the motion picture, and although he does not fully explain how a hedonistic German could have been so altered by the plight of the Jewish workers in his factory, he does make Schindler less enigmatic than the big-screen version. Ben Kingsley, one of the film's stars, reads in a calculatedly matter-of-fact tone, letting the story's power alone convey its complicated emotions. Highly recommended. 　　Michael Adams, Fairleigh Dickinson Univ. Lib., Madison, N.J.

How to make your dreams come true? Here is a question that ??tortures?? many of us since we all want our dreams to come true … Isn’t it? Here is a little book that may help you navigate through the birth to the embodiment of a dream. They will show you some tools to make your dreams come true or at least show you that it is possible . The birth of this book came unexpectedly and surprisingly. I had just published my first book in the Paths to Yourself collection. It dealt with a subject that concerns many of us: how to build a healthy and lasting relationship of love or friendship? I was talking with a friend of this publication. He told me that one of his dreams was to write too, but in Thai. I replied that he can surely fulfill this dream considering that he has been speaking and writing in this language for a long time: his wife is from Laos and their language of communication is Thai. But it seemed to him a difficult dream to reach … To joke, I told him I should write a book on ??How to make one’s dreams come true??? because I have some 25 years of experience in the field … and I do not hesitate to do everything possible to realize mine. In addition, I accomplished almost all the dreams I really wanted. There is still one, still running, but which I will reveal later in this book;) . This friend told me that he would be the first to read this book if I write it one day … Putting a dream in to practice And now this new challenge, which I think will help others embody their dreams or at least part of them, has led my brain to think, almost without even wanting to, about a possible structure of this book. Barely two days passed after I had had this conversation with my friend and I was already writing it. So check out this little FREE guide to help you make your dreams come true!

Книга всемирно известного российского психотерапевта и психолога посвящена здоровью. А точнее, системе нейропрограммирования психосоматических исцелений (системе НПСИ), разработанной не просто психотерапевтом высшей в Европе и мире квалификации, но человеком, который сам себя излечил от сонма как бы неизлечимых современной медициной болезней. Для психотерапевтов, практических психологов, консультантов, коучей, врачей, педагогов, а также всех, кто хотел бы сделать свою жизнь полноценной, цельной, осмысленной, неизбывно интересной и просто приятной… Издательство Animedia Company желает вам приятного чтения.

В этой книге – второй из новой серии ?Коды вашей судьбы? – известного психолога, одного из лидеров отечественного и мирового нейролингвистического программирования, психотерапевта высшей в Европе квалификации, описывается то, что смело можно назвать основополагающей теорией и практикой нейропрограммирования своей судьбы и жизнедеятельности. Подробно, в доступной и популярной форме рассказывается о сценариях и сценаристах наших судеб о психопатологиях прошлого и возможного будущего, а также о психологическом времени нашей судьбы. Детально описываются психотехнологии преодоления патологических последствий трудного детства, психотерапии Внутреннего ребенка, избавления от импринтов и психотравм, экологизации собственного будущего, оптимизации психологических временных ориентаций и улучшения Линий Времени. Для психологов, психотерапевтов, консультантов, коучеров и педагогов, но более всего – для всех, кто интересуется психотехнологиями личностных изменений и действительно желает исправить собственную (пока еще Хромую) судьбу, избавиться от последствий Страшного детства и стать хозяином своего прошлого, настоящего и будущего.

n irul romanelor de mai trziu, dar mai cu seam n Viaa la ar […], n care temperamentul lui stilistic ajunge la formele unui clasicism plin de msur i claritate, Duiliu Zamfirescu renun n cea mai mare parte la manierismul trecutului. Analistul naturalist al strilor sufleteti struie, ba chiar se dezvolt n el, fr s mai simt nevoia apelului la nomenclatura i dialectica tiinei. Lirismul capt o pedal grav i simpl, i reflecia general ader parc mai adnc la impresia direct. […] Numeroase sunt pasagiile Vieii la ar n care amnuntul realist, umoristic sau graios, d via i adevr tablourilor.[…] ntocmai ca mai toi scriitorii realiti romni, pn cnd un Alexandru Macedonski cucerete sectoare noi ale artei descriptive, Duiliu Zamfirescu este mai ales un pictor al omului i al peisagiului, mai mult dect al lucrurilor i al interioarelor, care apar totui uneori n paginile lui. Remarcabil este apoi sub pana autorului Vieii la ar sau Tnase Scatiu pictura strilor de mulime, cu atta vreme nainte ca L. Rebreanu s dezvolte larg posibilitile acestui motiv. Vrednic de atenie este i evocarea vieii interioare, cu afundri ntr-o lume de imagini construite dup alte legi dect acele ale ateniei voluntare […]. Caracterul att de modern al procedeului nu poate scpa nimnui i el alctuiete punctul cel mai naintat al artei de analist a lui Duiliu Zamfirescu, atent la enigmele vieii sufleteti.“ – Tudor Vianu

este primul roman obiectiv din literatura rom?n?, fiind ap?rut ?n anul 1920, dup? o lung? perioad? de elaborare, a?a cum ?nsu?i autorul men?ioneaz? ?n finalul operei, ?ntre martie 1913 – iulie 1920. Apari?ia romanului a st?rnit un adev?rat entuziasm ?n epoc?, mai ales c? nimic din crea?ia nuvelistic? de p?n? atunci nu anun?a aceast? evolu?ie spectaculoas?: ?Nimic din ce e publicat ?nainte nu ne putea face s? prevedem admirabila dezvoltare a unui scriitor, care a ?nceput ?i a continuat vreo zece ani, nu numai f?r? str?lucire, dar ?i f?r? indica?ii de viitor“, nota Eugen Lovinescu. Criticul prime?te romanul Ion ca pe o izb?nd? a literaturii rom?ne, iar satisfac?ia sa este consemnat? ?n studiul ?Crea?ia obiectiv?. Liviu Rebreanu: Ion“. Pentru ini?iatorul modernismului rom?nesc, al c?rui principiu de baz? era sincronismul literaturii rom?ne cu cea european?, romanul Ion este cel care ?rezolv? o problem? ?i curm? o controvers?“. Aceast? afirma?ie a lui Lovinescu se refer? la faptul c? apari?ia primului roman obiectiv direc?ioneaz? literatura rom?n? c?tre valoare european? ?i stinge polemica pe care criticul o avea cu s?m?n?tori?tii epocii.

Nathaniel Cruz már akkor belebolondult Alexis Woodville-be, amikor a lány a gimnáziumban egy szerencsétlen baleset folytán, fejen találta ?t egy focilabdával. A cserfes és csábos, v?r?s hajú lány szó szerint levette a fiút lábáról. Egyikük sem sejtette, hogy a spontán vonzalom életre szóló bilincset tesz majd a szívükre, de katasztrofális id?zítés és egy buta véletlen hosszú id?re elszakítja ?ket egymástól. ?vekkel kés?bb Nathaniel már a világhír? futballsztár csillogónak látszó életét éli, szívében azonban még mindig megszállottja Alexisnek. Véletlen találkozásukkor felszínre t?rnek a régóta eltitkolt vágyak, ám hiába tombol k?z?ttük a szenvedély, a féltékenység és birtokolni vágyás megint szétválasztja ?ket. Amikor útjaik kés?bb újra keresztezik egymást, hatalmas dilemma el?tt állnak. K?vetve a szívük vágyát, megadják-e magukat az oly régóta elnyomott szenvedélynek, vagy feláldozzák a szerelmet a felel?sségtudat oltárán. Ez Alexis és Nathaniel érzéki, szenvedélyes t?rténete. Remélem, annyira élvezitek majd olvasni, mint amennyire én az írást élveztem!

Meet Detective Sergeant Alicia Friend. She’s nice. Too nice to be a police officer, if she’s honest. Now assigned to DI Donald Murphy’s team, the annoyingly-perky detective finds herself in the grip of a northern British winter, investigating the kidnap-murders of two young women - both strikingly similar in appearance. When a third is taken, they have less than a week to chip away the secrets of a high-society family, and uncover the killer’s objective. But Richard - the father of the latest victim - believes the police are not moving quickly enough, so launches a parallel investigation, utilising skills honed in a dark past that is about to catch up with him. As Richard’s secret actions hinder the police, Alicia remains in contact with him, and even starts to fall for his charms, forcing her into choices that will impact the rest of her life.

Reviews CrimeFictionLover.com “An intriguing mix of police procedural and serial killer thriller, that will tease, involve and unnerve you. An entertaining and intriguing debut.” Undercover Book Reviews: “Want a book with twists and turns? This is the one. It will not disappoint.” AUTHOR Q&A Q: Alicia Friend is kind of an oddball, isn’t she? A: I’d say she’s unique. She knows who she wants to be and she doesn’t compromise, but most police officers she meets are dour and grumpy, and she sees how that impacts their personal lives. She doesn’t want to be as hard-nosed as many women sleuths in fiction, so radiates the sort of perkiness that sometimes grates on her fellow officers. But it’s who she is. Q: Despite having a quirky woman sleuth as main character, the novel goes to some dark places. A: Yes. I found that at one point I was trying to include ALL my research, and I’m really aiming for a thrill ride as much a straight police procedural. I originally included the sort of forensic details you get with Patricia Cornwell or Kathy Reichs, but it wasn’t right for this book. I keep it as accurate as possible, but it’s about the characters and how they uncover secrets, both externally and within the police. Q: So who is your ideal reader? A: Fans of serial killer books in general. If you like James Patterson, PJ Tracy or Steven James, Mark Billingham or Ian Rankin, Alicia Friend’s series could be worth checking out. Q: What levels of violence and bad language are there? A: Some of the violence is graphic, but the language … that goes as strong as references to one’s posterior and some faecal synonyms, if you get my meaning. No “F” or “C” words, as I don’t think Alicia’s audience appreciates that. Q: And how, exactly, do you come up with a character like Alicia? A: She is based on a real person. But very loosely. The essence is there, although I had to invent certain aspects for dramatic effect. The parts from real life are: a ditzy, perky outer shell, yet possesses a fierce intelligence, true dedication, and being brilliant at her job. Q: So the real Alicia Friend isn’t a serving police officer? A: No, she isn’t. And if she was, I certainly wouldn’t say so here.

Mr. Sandman, send me a dream, ta da da da.....Seventeen year old Chastity Blake knows the Sandman is just a silly children's story parents tell their children to get them to sleep. At least she thought it was, until the day a mysterious, light golden sand appeared in her hands during a high school prank that went horribly wrong. A sand that has the power to send anyone it touches into a deep, sound sleep. Fearing she had lost her mind, Chastity soon discovers the shocking truth of her heritage- she is a Dream Caster. Chastity was never supposed to be raised on the Domain, or what humans call Earth and she is forced to return to her true birth place, Revera – the world of Dreams. However, in Revera there is no balance between good, the Light Casters, and darkness, the Shadow Casters, and Chastity is caught square in the middle. She soon learns that there is no place for anyone containing both the light and the darkness within them, and the shocking truth that if anyone in Revera ever discovered her shadow self, Chastity would be thrown into the Oblivion – the world of Nightmares. Dreams are always more than they seem, and this time Chastity is going to discover just how different they can be.
