Well, Mrs. Hensworthy is at it again, entertaining a variety of beings from across the dimensional divide as she enjoys her afternoon tea, residing before a comforting fire in her living room in the English countryside. This time, they seem to be dropping in, quite literally, from various points of the room as interdimensional rifts open in the most unexpected places. Her friend Brobding Measelfort, who I’m sure you all recall is a most congenial Measeloot, has recently suggested a business proposition that Mrs. Hensworthy finds intriguing.

Get ready for an irreverent and enlightening journey as "Son of Man" takes you on a divine escapade beyond the crucifixion. In this speculative satire, O’neil Sharma imagines Jesus, risen and disillusioned.

Giulio Montesano è un affermato architetto ed esperto d’arte. Una vita di successo grazie alla partnership con Vittorio Zanca, ambiguo ingegnere edile di origini calabro-venete e dubbia moralità, che lo ha introdotto nella società che conta, ma a caro prezzo. Giulio però ha un segreto: la notte di ogni 15 del mese rischia la vita nascondendosi al centro della carreggiata di una strada statale in una grande scatola. È solo uno spregiudicato gioco mortale? No, la scatola assume nel corso del romanzo varie funzioni con l’evolversi turbolento della storia.

As escritoras June Hayward e Athena Liu se formaram em Yale e publicaram seus romances de estreia na mesma época. Tudo indicava que chegariam juntas ao estrelato, mas, pouco depois da graduação, Athena começou a colher louros literários, enquanto June recebeu apenas migalhas de reconhecimento. Quando Athena morre em um estranho incidente, June decide que chegou seu momento de brilhar. Por impulso, ela rouba o manuscrito do novo livro da amiga, uma obra experimental sobre a relevância dos trabalhadores chineses durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial.

Questions abound in the aftermath of the Little India riot. Hashwini wonders if she triggered the chaos. Jessica asks if she should reveal what truly happened in the ambulance. Sharon thinks that the catastrophe could be what she needs to boost her political career. The lives of three women intertwine when accident and coincidence collide. In Gimme Lao!-style hilarity, they become wrapped up in a web of truth, deception and political connections. This is a perceptive, fast-paced romp that asks "what if" of the riot that recently shook Singapore.

Una storia di miseria e nobiltà. Il Principe Ascanio della Scaletta ha uno dei titoli nobiliari più antichi e importanti d’Italia, e uno splendido palazzo nel centro di Roma. Peccato che, all’alba del Capodanno del 1980, gli siano rimasti soltanto i ricordi, e poco altro. Può però contare su Gegé, maggiordomo napoletano di infinite risorse, che, a dispetto degli stipendi che arrivano a intervalli assai poco regolari, ha giurato fedeltà eterna alla casata della Scaletta.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Lucas will nichts als seine Ruhe in einer Welt, die ihn einfach nicht in Ruhe lässt. Eine Kurzgeschichte vom internationalen Bestsellerautor Fredrik Backman Videospiele, Wein und Pad Thai – das ist der perfekte Abend für Lucas. Andere Menschen? Muss nicht sein. Warum denn, wenn er auch alleine glücklich sein kann? Als der dreiköpfige Vorstand der Bewohnervertretung überraschend an seiner Tür klingelt und eine Inspektion seiner Bratpfanne verlangt, ist Lucas alles andere als begeistert. Doch Abwimmeln ist nicht.
