Femeie prin na?tere ?i farmec, dar cu o atitudine demn? de un b?rbat puternic, Bernarda Soledade este protagonista primului roman al lui Raimundo Carrero, scris pe c?nd scriitorul brazilian avea doar 23 de ani. Povestea Bernardei Soledade se deruleaz? pe dou? portative temporale, altern?nd evenimentele petrecute ?n prezent la ferma Puchin?n? ?i episoade din istoria fermei. Bernarda locuie?te la Puchin?n? ?mpreun? cu sora sa, Inês, mama sa, Gabriela ?i tat?l s?u. Hot?r?t? s? extind? propriet??ile fermei, Bernarda preia fr?iele ?i cucere?te f?r? ezitare terenurile din jur. Deranja?i de comportamentul familiei Soledade, fermierii vecini pl?nuiesc o r?zbunare, iar cel care urma s? duc? planul la ?ndeplinire este chiar unchiul protagonistei, Anrique. Are loc o crim?, dar ?i o r?sturnare de situa?ie, Anrique schimb?nd baricadele luptei. Povestea se complic? tot mai tare, Inês are ?i ea leg?turi cu adversarii familiei sale, dar accept? s? ?nfrunte consecin?ele. Dorin?a de posesiune, fie c? e vorba de p?m?nt, de cai sau de b?rba?i este o constant? a Bernardei Soledade, care-?i cap?t? o porecl? cum nu se poate mai potrivit?: pantera din Sert?o.

n anii ce au urmat cderii Cortinei de Fier ce separa Europa Estic de cea Occidental, s-au produs multe mutaii n spaiul politic, social, dar i cultural al statelor aflate pn atunci sub ocupaie comunist. Multe piedestaluri au fost sfrmate i multe simboluri repudiate, din cauza deconspirrilor fcute n urma deschiderii dosarelor Securitii. Este i cazul Christei Wolf, scriitoare central a criticii anti-comuniste din Germania Democrat, acuzat, la nceputul anilor ‘90, de a fi fost informator Stasi. n 1992, presa german a lansat aceast informaie, iar de aici a nceput un ntreg conflict mediatic, mprind publicul n dou tabere, una susinnd nevinovia scriitoarei, cealalt, dimpotriv, completnd violent acuzaiile. Rspunsurile pe care Christa Wolf a ncercat s le ofere acestei descoperiri i explicaiile pe care a vrut s i le formuleze sunt cuprinse n ultima sa carte, Oraul ngerilor sau The Overcoat of Dr. Freud, un roman autobiografic. Imediat dup declanarea valului de acuzaii, Wolf a primit o burs de cercetare n SUA, unde a petrecut nou luni. Oraul ngerilor este rezultatul experienei americane, n care autoarea pune n discuie problema memoriei, a uitrii i a posibilitii de gestionare a acestora ntr-un prezent apstor. Dincolo de amplele meditaii asupra contiinei, a relaiei sale cu propria ar, a vinoviei i dincolo de episoadele de rememorare a trecutului ndeprtat, cartea este un excelent tablou al Los Angeles-ului, vzut prin ochii plini de uimire ai central-europeanului, separat, din cauza istoriei, de transformrile lumii aflate n micare. n jocul postmodern n care i nscrie cartea, grania dintre ficiune i realitate este de multe ori greu de identificat, tocmai aceast continu pendulare inndu-i cititorului atenia treaz pn la ultima pagin.

Poarta te frumos cu jucariile tale, fiindca e posibil ca intr o buna zi chiar viata ta sa depinda de una dintre ele.“ Hendrik de Mol nu este un baiat ca toti ceilalti.

ForeWord: "The treat here is Myrtle's eccentricity, brought to life with rich humor and executed ...with breezy skill." This Myrtle Clover sampler, which has several full-length early cozy mysteries in the series, contains "Progressive Dinner Deadly," "A Dyeing Shame," and "A Body in the Backyard." These books collectively have over 650 five-star reviews. The sleepy town of Bradley, North Carolina, might not be as quiet as it seems. Murders happen at a steady rate and octogenarian amateur sleuth Myrtle Clover is determined to solve them before her police chief son. Progressive Dinner Deadly: Who wants chips and dip when they can have Dickens and Twain? To the residents of the sleepy town of Bradley, North Carolina, hardworking Jill Caulfield seemed beyond reproach. She volunteered at the women’s shelter, worked at the church preschool, cleaned houses for extra money, and actually enjoyed yard work. And she was nothing less than a saint to cheerfully put up with her unemployed, skirt-chasing, boozer of a husband. When intrepid octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover caught Jill, her new housekeeper, peering into her medicine cabinet, she should have been upset. But discovering that Jill wasn’t such a squeaky-clean goody-goody made her vastly more interesting in Myrtle’s eyes. Myrtle would have happily continued figuring out what made Jill Caulfield tick. If Jill hadn’t foolishly gone and gotten herself murdered, that is. A Dyeing Shame: Some beauty secrets are more dangerous than others… When Beauty Box beautician Tammy Smith is discovered with a pair of hair shears in her back, there are suspects and secrets aplenty in her small Southern town. Octogenarian Myrtle Clover, bored by bingo and bridge, is intrigued by the crime...and her neighbors' secrets. But discovering, and blabbing, secrets got Tammy killed and Myrtle soon learns her sleuthing isn't just dangerous...it's deadly. A Body in the Backyard: Extreme gardening often involves gnomes and planted bodies… It’s just an ordinary day for octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover—until her yardman discovers a dead body planted in her backyard. This death isn’t cut and dried—the victim was bashed in the head with one of Myrtle’s garden gnomes. Myrtle’s friend Miles recognizes the body and identifies him as Charles Clayborne… reluctantly admitting he’s a cousin. Charles wasn’t the sort of relative you bragged about—he was a garden variety sleaze, which is very likely why he ended up murdered. As Myrtle starts digging up dirt to nip the killings in the bud, someone’s focused on scaring her off the case. Myrtle vows to find the murderer…before she’s pushing up daisies, herself. Other Works... **If you want more Myrtle Clover, please check out the other books in the series: The books can be read out of order, but the technical order of the books is as follows: Pretty is as Pretty Dies, Progressive Dinner Deadly, Dyeing Shame, A Body in the Backyard, Death at a Drop-In, A Body at Book Club, Death Pays a Visit, and A Body at Bunco.?

Mara se treze?te ?ntr-o bun? zi la spital, f?r? s? ?tie de ce se afl? acolo ?i ce anume i s-a ?nt?mplat. Amintirile ?i revin treptat ?i dureros, ?tie c? a avut un accident ?ngrozitor, ?n care prietenii ei au murit, dar ea a sc?pat aproape f?r? nicio zg?rietur?. De?i familia ei hot?r??te s? ?nceap? o via?? nou? ?n Florida, amintirile o asalteaz? pe Mara, provoc?ndu-i episoade psihotice. ?n acest amestec straniu de nebunie ?i realitate, Noah, cel mai frumos b?iat pe care l-a v?zut vreodat?, pare s? se fi ?ndr?gostit de ea. C?t din aventurile Marei Dyer sunt vis ?i c?t sunt adev?r? E doar o adolescent? care sufer? de sindrom post-traumatic sau exist? ceva mai misterios ?n spatele ?nchipuirilor ei? ?G?sim ?n trilogia lui Michelle Hodkin ecouri din Carrie a lui Stephen King. Scris din perspectiva Marei, primul volum al trilogiei alterneaz? ingenios perspectivele. Trecerile de la lucruri cotidiene la co?mar ?i halucina?ie sunt nea?teptate, dar se produc firesc ?i-?i dau fiori.“ Los Angeles Times ?Felul ?n care Hodkin exploateaz? ambiguitatea spore?te suspansul, aprofund?nd nu doar posibilit??ile psihologice, ci ?i artificiile narative. E o poveste realist? despre nebunie, o poveste fantastic? sau una poli?ist??“ Kirkus Reviews ?Talentul ?i inteligen?a lui Michelle Hodkin sunt evidente – de la descrierile ?nfrico??toare la scenele romantice.

This Myrtle Clover sampler, which has several full-length cozy mysteries, contains? A Body at Bunco, Murder On Opening Night, and Cruising for Murder. The sleepy town of Bradley, North Carolina, might not be as quiet as it seems. Murders happen at a steady rate and octogenarian amateur sleuth Myrtle Clover is determined to solve them before her police chief son. A Body at Bunco: Playing Bunco may be fun...but murder proves a game-changer. Octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover has never heard of the dice game Bunco. Regardless, she steps in as her daughter-in-law’s sub and reluctantly puts her game face on. Bunco turns out to be child’s play. But when a body is discovered, Myrtle realizes another game is afoot. Before long, she’s playing cat and mouse with the killer. Can she track down the murderer before the game is up? Or, with the killer playing hard to get, will it end up being “no dice?” Murder On Opening Night: When Myrtle Clover and her friend Miles attend a play in their small town, there’s a full house on opening night. It’s clear to Myrtle that one of the actresses is a stage hog who loves stealing the spotlight. Nandina Marshall certainly does upstage everyone—when her murder forces an unexpected intermission. Can Myrtle and Miles discover who was behind her final curtain call….before murder makes an encore? Cruising for Murder: ? Loose lips sink ships…and result in murder. When Myrtle and her friend Miles set out for adventure on the high sea, they assume most of the trip’s excitement will result from shore excursions to charming Alaskan villages. They feel as if their ship has come in. But when a fellow passenger disappears, Myrtle realizes she must seize the helm and find the killer...before more souls are lost.

This Myrtle Clover sampler, which has several full-length cozy mysteries, contains Death at a Drop-In, A Body at Book Club, and Death Pays a Visit . These books collectively have over 170 5-star reviews. Death at a Drop-In: You’re invited to a deadly drop-in: Cosette Whitlow is a society matron…if tiny Bradley, North Carolina, has one. She kindly volunteers for all the town's charities, but isn’t nearly as kind to her own family, neighbors, and friends. In fact, Cosette is emphatically disliked by much of the town—including octogenarian Myrtle Clover. And Myrtle knows that dislike in Bradley can quickly turn deadly. No one seems surprised when Cosette’s body is discovered during a party she’s hosting—she was struck on the head with a croquet mallet. Wanting to restore order to the small town, Myrtle resolves to track down the killer—before the killer strikes again. A Body at Book Club This is one book club meeting that doesn’t go by the book. When octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover discovers Naomi Pelter’s dead body during a book club meeting, the other members seem shocked. But Myrtle can read between the lines. Naomi had riled everyone up by flirting with other people’s husbands, arguing with neighbors, and generally making a nuisance of herself. Murdering troublemakers is the oldest trick in the book. The book club members seem too sweet to be killers, but Myrtle knows better than to judge books by their covers. Myrtle’s investigation into the murder will take a more novel approach than her police chief son’s by-the-book methods. Can Myrtle and her widower sidekick uncover the killer…before he writes them off for good Death Pays a Visit At Greener Pastures Retirement Home, leisure time can prove perilous. When psychic (and hubcap retailer) Wanda Alewine pays a late-night visit to Myrtle Clover, she urges the octogenarian sleuth to head straight to Greener Pastures Retirement Home. But Wanda doesn't want Myrtle to consider the Home's dubious amenities--she wants Myrtle to prevent a murder seen in a vision. Reluctant Myrtle investigates with sidekick Miles, who seems a lot more interested in Greener Pastures than she is. As the duo digs, they uncover more than just Sudoku and Scrabble—they discover a sinister undercurrent… with murder as its outcome.
