In the land of Ingary, where seven-league boots and cloaks of invisibility really exist, Sophie Hatter attracts the unwelcome attention of the Witch of the Waste, who puts a curse on her. Determined to make the best of things, Sophie travels to the one place where she might get help � the moving castle which hovers on the nearby hills.

<![CDATA[As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow]]> 57390604
Now Salama volunteers at a hospital in Homs, helping the wounded who flood through the doors daily. Secretly, though, she is desperate to find a way out of her beloved country before her sister-in-law, Layla, gives birth. So desperate, that she has manifested a physical embodiment of her fear in the form of her imagined companion, Khawf, who haunts her every move in an effort to keep her safe.

But even with Khawf pressing her to leave, Salama is torn between her loyalty to her country and her conviction to survive. Salama must contend with bullets and bombs, military assaults, and her shifting sense of morality before she might finally breathe free. And when she crosses paths with the boy she was supposed to meet one fateful day, she starts to doubt her resolve in leaving home at all.

Soon, Salama must learn to see the events around her for what they truly are—not a war, but a revolution—and decide how she, too, will cry for Syria’s freedom.]]>

مئة عام من العزلة 7480676
يسجل ماركيز قصة حياة عائلة "بوينديا" في قرية ماكوندو على الساحل الكاريبي، بدءاً من قدوم الجد الأكبر "خوزيه أركاديو بوينديا" والجدة الكبرى "أورسولا" و "بيلار تيريزا" التي تقرأ مستقبل الناس من خلال ورق اللعب، ومجموعة متنوعة من المهاجرين. ثم تكوين مجتمع ماكوندو الغريب الذي يتسم كل شيء فيه بالعزلة النسبية. فكل فرد ومكان طبع على شخصيته سمات خاصة تجعل تفرده حالة مستعصية.

ثم يأتي إلى القرية الجديدة الغجر بألعابهم السحرية التي لا تنتهي، فتطبع على القرية وأهلها شكل آخر من أشكال الخرافة، ويأتي مع الغجر الشخصية الغريبة "ملكياديس" والذي يفعل أشياءا غريبة ويرحل مخلفا وراءه كنزا غريبا بعض الشيء، وهو مجموعة من الأوراق التي تسجل بدقة تاريخ القرية وكل سكانها من لحظة وجودها وحتى لحظة فناء القرية وأهلها، ولكن هذه الأوراق لا تقرأ إلا بعد مرور مائة عام على كتابتها !

ثم يتنوع نسل عائلة بوينديا إلى مجموعة من الأبناء والأحفاد مصنفين لنوعين ؛ الأول يمتلك صفات جسدية خارقة للعادة وقدرة جنسية فائقة ، والآخرون يحملون صفات العزلة والتمرد المطلوبة لقائد.

يأتي المستعمر الأجنبي إلى القرية الهادئة بصخبه وشركاته وينشئ على الطرف الآخر من البلدة شركة الموز، والتي استغلها المستعمر ليستعبد أهل القرية وخيرات القرية بحماية من قوات الجيش الوطني وحزب المحافظين. حيث صاح العقيد الدموي المستبد الثائر أوريليانو بوينديا "إنظرو البلاء الذي جلبناه لأنفسنا لمجرد أننا دعونا أمريكياً لأكل الموز عندنا !!".

أحداث الرواية الخيالية متقاطعة مع تاريخ كولومبيا و إنفصالها عن أسبانيا و إعلان إستقلالها و حربها الأهلية التي إندلعت في عام 1885 قبل أن تنتهي بتوقيع معاهدة نيرلانديا سنة 1902 بواسطة زعيم الثوار الكابتن رافائيل يريبي و الذي حارب جد الكاتب تحت إمرته.

ثم يأتي على القرية سنوات من الثراء الرهيب، حتى أن أحد الأحفاد كان يغطي جدار البيت بالأوراق النقدية، وموّل عدة مشروعات للسكك الحديدية والنقل البحري، وتزوج من ملكة أندلسية ، قبل أن تأتي مجددا سنوات الفقر مع طوفان من الأمطار استمر لسنوات وسنوات، وأخيرا عندما توقف كانت الحياة قد تغيرت تماما في قرية ماكوندو إلى أسوأ حال، ولكن الحياة تستمر على الرغم من هذا.]]>

<![CDATA[سيكولوجية المال : دروس خالدة في الثروة والجشع والسعادة]]> 57686676 332 Morgan Housel Chaimaa 3

رغم أن الكاتب يتحدث بشكل رئيسي عن سوق الأسهم والاستثمار، إلا أن تركيزه لا ينصب على كيفية ربح المال بقدر ما يركز على كيفية الحفاظ عليه. الكتاب مليء بالدروس القيّمة، لكن الدرس الأهم بالنسبة لي كان أهمية الادخار. يدعو الكاتب إلى الادخار ليس فقط لهدف محدد، بل لجعل الادخار عادة مالية مستدامة تكون بمثابة درع يحميك في كل الأوقات، سواء بوجود سبب أو بدونه.
تعلمت الكثير من الكتاب، لكن أعطيته ثلاث نجوم فقط لأنني لم أكن مهتمة بالاستثمار وسوق الأسهم، التي تُعتبر من محاوره الرئيسية. ومع ذلك، هناك قيمة حقيقية يمكن لأي قارئ استخلاصها من المفاهيم النفسية والعملية التي يعرضها.

Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up � she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true.

Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating� rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.

As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan � her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.]]>

الرواية "بيت الجمال" كانت تحمل فكرة مثيرة، لكنها للأسف عانت من بعض العيوب. حبكة القصة لم تكن متماسكة بشكل كافٍ، مما جعل الأحداث تبدو أحيانًا مشتتة أو غير مترابطة. كذلك، أسلوب الكتابة كان ثقيلًا نوعًا ما، ولم يساعد القارئ على الانسجام مع السرد بسهولة
أحد الأمور التي أزعجتني أيضًا هو تداخل الشخصيات؛ ففي بعض الفصول لم يكن واضحًا من الذي يتحدث أو من الذي يسرد الأحداث، مما جعلني أشعر بالارتباك أثناء القراءة. هذا الغموض أثر على وضوح القصة وأضعف تفاعلي مع الشخصيات.
بشكل عام، الفكرة كانت جيدة، لكن التنفيذ لم يكن على مستوى التوقعات، وهو ما جعل الرواية تفقد جزءًا من تأثيرها.]]>

رواية "نساء صغيرات" تتميز بخفة ورشاقة جعلتها خيارًا مثاليًا لأجواء نهاية السنة. بأسلوبها الهادئ والبسيط، تابعت حياة أربع شقيقات ومغامراتهن الصغيرة، وشعرت أن الجو الأسري الذي اكتسى الرواية أضاف دفئًا خاصًا للتجربة. أحببت كيف تسلط الضوء على تفاصيل حياتهن اليومية، من أحلامهن وطموحاتهن إلى تحدياتهن وصراعاتهن مع أنفسهن ومع المجتمع. الرواية كانت ممتعة جدًا، خاصة أنها من النوع الهادئ الذي يجعلني أستمتع بكل لحظة فيها دون استعجال.

<![CDATA[Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find and Keep Love]]> 11737344 Attached, Levine and Heller reveal how an understanding of adult attachment-the most advanced relationship science in existence today-can help us find and sustain love. Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment posits that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways:

Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner's ability to love them back Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness. Secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving.

In this book Levine and Heller guide readers in determining what attachment style they and their mate (or potential mate) follow, offering a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections with the people they love.]]>

And when he talked about phobias, it was a game changer. As someone who struggles with a phobia, this was the first time I read something that made me feel seen and understood.

<![CDATA[The Spanish Love Deception (Spanish Love Deception, #1)]]> 57190892
She only has four weeks to find someone willing to cross the Atlantic and aid in her deception. New York to Spain is no short flight and her raucous family won’t be easy to fool.

Enter Aaron Blackford—her tall, handsome, condescending colleague—who surprisingly offers to step in. She’d rather refuse; never has there been a more aggravating, blood-boiling, and insufferable man.

But Catalina is desperate, and as the wedding draws nearer, Aaron looks like her best option. And she begins to realize he might not be as terrible in the real world as he is at the office.]]>

<![CDATA[فن اللامبالاة: لعيش حياة تخالف المألوف]]> 38469754
ينصحنا مانسون بأن نعرف حدود إمكاناتنا وأن نتقبلها. وأن ندرك مخاوفنا ونواقصنا وما لسنا واثقين منه، وأن نكفّ عن التهرب والفرار من ذلك كله ونبدأ مواجهة الحقائق الموجعة، حتى نصير قادرين على العثور على ما نبحث عنه من جرأة ومثابرة وصدق ومسؤولية وتسامح وحب للمعرفة.

لا يستطيع كل شخص أن يكون متميزًا متفوقًا. ففي المجتمع ناجحين وفاشلين؛ وقسم من هذا الواقع ليس عادلًا وليس نتيجة غلطتك أنت. وصحيح أن المال شيء حسن، لكن اهتمامك بما تفعله بحياتك أحسن كثيرًا؛ فالتجربة هي الثروة الحقيقية.

إنها لحظة حديث حقيقي صادق لشخص يمسكك من كتفيك وينظر في عينيك. هذا الكتاب صفعة منعشة لهذا الجيل حتى تساعده في عيش حياة راضية مستقرة.]]>

<![CDATA[The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo]]> 32620332
Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.

Summoned to Evelyn’s luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the �80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn’s story nears its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways.]]>

If We Were Villains 34369803
As a young actor at an elite conservatory, Oliver noticed that his talented classmates seem to play the same characters onstage and off � villain, hero, temptress � though he was always a supporting role. But when the teachers change the casting, a good-natured rivalry turns ugly, and the plays spill dangerously over into real life.

When tragedy strikes, one of the seven friends is found dead. The rest face their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, and themselves, that they are blameless...]]>

الذكاء العاطفي 42730369
Emotional intelligence includes self-awareness and impulse control, persistence, zeal and motivation, empathy and social deftness. These are the qualities that mark people who excel: whose relationships flourish, who are stars in the workplace.

With new insights into the brain architecture underlying emotion and rationality, Goleman shows precisely how emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened in all of us. And because emotional lessons a child learns actually sculpt the brain's circuitry, Goleman provides detailed guidance as to how parents and schools can benefit from this.]]>

<![CDATA[Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones]]> 40121378 Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving—every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results.

If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights.

Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field.

Learn how to:
- Make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy);
- Overcome a lack of motivation and willpower;
- Design your environment to make success easier;
- Get back on track when you fall off course;
...and much more.

Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.]]>

نخدع ذواتنا خديعتنا الأعظم حين نهمس لأنفسنا وقت الوجيعة .. أن يوما ما .. وجوار شخص ما .. سنشعر بالإكتمال !

ولكننا ننسي أن عطبنا ذاتي .. وأن نقصنا مثبت فينا كنظام تشغيل ..
وأن ذاك الشخص ذاته الذي رأينا فيه المخلص وسبيل التحرر ..ربما هو من سيمنحنا خيبتنا الكبري .. ويجمع فجواتنا جميعا في فجوة واحدة .. أعظم !

وربما بدلا من أن نثمر جواره .. قد نذبل .. وننزوي .. ونتلاشي .. ونذوب !


ننسى أننا نحتاج أن نحسن صحبة أنفسنا ونداوي عطب نفوسنا .. قبل أن نترقب تنزل الآخر ..

لن يكون الآخر جنتنا أبدا ما دمنا فقط نسعى لتخدير أوجاعنا عبره .. وليست تلك العلاقة في حقيقتها سوي تلاهي لاواعي عن مقابلة الذات ومواجهة حقيقة أنفسنا !

العلاقات المرضية تبدأ هنا .. حين تصير العلاقة محض هروب وفرار .. ولا شيء أكثر ..

وإن أكثر الناس اقترافا لأخطاء الاختيار هم أولئك الذين ينتظرون بشغف ويترقبون بتلهف .. فتشتبه عليهم الوجوه .. ويسقطون فراغهم العاطفي علي وجه عابر ما ، فيشاهدونه بخلاف حقيقته ..

أولئك الذين يظنون أنهم يداوون الظمأ .. عبر تتبع السراب .. !
(حتي إذا جاءه .. لم يجده شيئا) !]]>

Wuthering Heights 6185 You can find the redesigned cover of this edition HERE.

At the centre of this novel is the passionate love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff - recounted with such emotional intensity that a plain tale of the Yorkshire moors acquires the depth and simplicity of ancient tragedy.

This best-selling Norton Critical Edition is based on the 1847 first edition of the novel. For the Fourth Edition, the editor has collated the 1847 text with several modern editions and has corrected a number of variants, including accidentals. The text is accompanied by entirely new explanatory annotations.

New to the fourth Edition are twelve of Emily Bronte's letters regarding the publication of the 1847 edition of Wuthering Heights as well as the evolution of the 1850 edition, prose and poetry selections by the author, four reviews of the novel, and poetry selections by the author, four reviews of the novel, and Edward Chitham's insightful and informative chronology of the creative process behind the beloved work.

Five major critical interpretations of Wuthering Heights are included, three of them new to the Fourth Edition. A Stuart Daley considers the importance of chronology in the novel. J. Hillis Miller examines Wuthering Heights's problems of genre and critical reputation. Sandra M. Gilbert assesses the role of Victorian Christianity plays in the novel, while Martha Nussbaum traces the novel's romanticism. Finally, Lin Haire-Sargeant scrutinizes the role of Heathcliff in film adaptations of Wuthering Heights.

A Chronology and updated Selected Bibliography are also included.]]>

“If people lived forever-if they never got any older-if they could just go on living in this world, never dying, always healthy-do you think they’d bother to think hard about things, the way we’re doing now? I mean, we think about just about everything, more or less-philosophy, psychology, logic. Religion. Literature.

“I mean ... this is what I think, but... people have to think seriously about what it means for them to be alive here and now because they know they’re going to die sometime. Right? Who would think about what it means to be alive if they were just going to go on living forever? Why would they have to bother? Or even if they should bother, they’d probably just figure, ‘Oh, well, I’ve got plenty of time for that. I’ll think about it later.� But we can’t wait till later. We’ve got to think about it right this second. I might get run over by a truck tomorrow afternoon. And you, Mr. Wind-Up Bird: you might starve to death. One morning three days from now, you could be dead in the bottom of a well. See? Nobody knows what’s going to happen. So we need death to make us evolve. That’s what I think. Death is this huge, bright thing, and the bigger and brighter it is, the more we have to drive ourselves crazy thinking about things.�

I have fun reading the whole book, but what picked me interested was the conversation between May Kasahara and Mr. Okada (and her letters) in a strange way I feel like she was able to express some of my feelings, like we share the same sky of thoughts; I was able to understand her, she’s only seventeen-year-old girl, but she has a deep understanding of the world.

One morning three days from now, you could be dead in the bottom of a well. See? Nobody knows what’s going to happen. So we need death to make us evolve. That’s what I think. Death is this huge, bright thing, and the bigger and brighter it is, the more we have to drive ourselves crazy thinking about things.�

Ce que le jour doit à la nuit 4459330
Mais les yeux bleus de Younes et son physique d’ange l’aident à se faire accepter par cette communauté aisée de province. Rebaptisé Jonas, il grandit parmi de jeunes colons dont il devient l’inséparable camarade. Il découvre avec eux les joies de l’existence et partage leurs rêves d’adolescents privilégiés que ni la Seconde Guerre Mondiale ni les convulsions d’un nationalisme arabe en pleine expansion ne perturbent. Jusqu’au jour où revient au village Émilie, une jeune fille splendide qui va devenir la vestale de nos jeunes gens. Naîtra ainsi une grande histoire d’amour qui mettra à rude épreuve la complicité fraternelle des quatre garçons, écartelés entre la loyauté, l’égoïsme et la rancune que la guerre d’Indépendance va aggraver.
La révolte algérienne sera, pour Younes-Jonas, sanglante et fratricide. Il refusera de laisser détruire l’amitié exceptionnelle qui l’unit à ces jeunes pieds-noirs ; il ne pourra tourner le dos à cet oncle et à cette tante qui lui ont offert une vie meilleure ; mais jamais il n’acceptera non plus de renoncer aux valeurs inculquées par son père : la fierté, la déférence envers ses ancêtres et les coutumes de son peuple, le respect absolu de la parole donnée, et, ce, quitte à mettre en péril l’amour déchirant qu’il a pour Émilie.

Avec la verve romanesque qu’on lui connaît, Yasmina Khadra éclaire d’un nouveau jour ce conflit ayant opposé deux peuples amoureux d’un même pays. La grande originalité de cette saga qui se déroule de 1930 à nos jours repose sur une courageuse défense de cette double culture franco-algérienne que l’Histoire a, de part et d’autre, trop souvent cherché à renier.]]>

الإسلام بين الشرق والغرب 8064720 إنه ليس «مجتهدًا» وحسب، وإنما هو «مجاهد» أيضًا؛ فهو مفكر ورئيس دولة، يحلل الحضارة الغربية ويبين النموذج المعرفي المادي العدمي الكامن في علومها وفي نمذجها المهيمن، ثم يتصدى لها ويقاوم محاولتها إبادة شعبه.
ولكنه في ذات الوقت يستفيد من اجتهادات المفكرين الغربيين المدافعين عن الإنسان، ولعل إيمانه بالإنسان (الذي ينبع من إيمانه بالله وإدراكه لثنائية الطبيعة البشرية) هو الذي شد من أزره إلى أن كتب الله له ولشعبه النجاة، وهو الذي مكنه من أن يلعب هذا الدور المزدوج: دور المجاه والمجتهد، ودور الفارس والراهب.
وتتميز كتابات علي عزت بيگوفيتش بالوضوح والتبلور... وقد قام الأستاذ محمد يوسف عدس بترجمة أهم كتبه «الإسلام بين الشرق والغرب» إلى العربية بلغة فصيحة، وخطاب فلسفي مركب، فجاءت ترجمته عملاً فلسفيًا راقيًا يتسم بالدقة والجمال.

<![CDATA[My Year of Rest and Relaxation]]> 44279110
Our narrator should be happy, shouldn’t she? She’s young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate, works an easy job at a hip art gallery, lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like the rest of her needs, by her inheritance. But there is a dark and vacuous hole in her heart, and it isn’t just the loss of her parents, or the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her, or her sadomasochistic relationship with her best friend, Reva. It’s the year 2000 in a city aglitter with wealth and possibility; what could be so terribly wrong?

My Year of Rest and Relaxation is a powerful answer to that question. Through the story of a year spent under the influence of a truly mad combination of drugs designed to heal our heroine from her alienation from this world, Moshfegh shows us how reasonable, even necessary, alienation can be. Both tender and blackly funny, merciless and compassionate, it is a showcase for the gifts of one of our major writers working at the height of her powers.]]>

<![CDATA[The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma]]> 18693771 A pioneering researcher transforms our understanding of trauma and offers a bold new paradigm for healing.

Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world's foremost experts on trauma, has spent over three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers' capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores innovative treatments—from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga—that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain's natural neuroplasticity. Based on Dr. van der Kolk's own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal—and offers new hope for reclaiming lives.]]>

<![CDATA[الإنسان المهدور: دراسة تحليلية نفسية اجتماعية]]> 9457441
إن الهدر يبدأ من هدر الدم إلى هدر الوقت مرورا بهدر الفكر والوعي والإبداع، "وقد يتخذ الهدر شكل عدم الاعتراف بالطاقات والكفاءات أو الحق في تقرير المصير والإرادة الحرة وحتى الحق بالوعي بالذات والوجود" (ص 28). لذلك يعتبر حجازي أن الهدر أكثر خطورة من القهر. فبينما يعني القهر مثلاً اعترافاً بكيان الآخر، وإن اعترافاً مشروطا بأن يبقى الآخر ضمن خضوعه لي وملكيتي، ولكن الهدر يرتب "سَحباً للاعتراف أصلاً بقيمة الكيان أو الطاقات أو الوعي أو المكانة" (ص 29). ويمكن طرح مثال على ذلك "العولمة" التي تهدر معنى الانتماء للقومية باعتبارها تسلخ الهويات وتلحق الجميع باقتصاد السوق ومفهومه بدلا من اقتصاد المجتمع المحلي والوطن.

فن قراءة العقول 61021598
Haluaisitko kyetä näkemään, milloin joku valehtelee? Oppia flirttailemaan? Saada esimiehesi uskomaan ideaasi? Oppia kääntämään vastarinta kunnioitukseksi? Kukapa ei haluaisi osata lukea ajatuksia!

Olemus, äänenkorkeus, katse ja kädenliikkeet kertovat, mitä ihminen todella ajattelee ja tuntee - vaikka ne olisivat ristiriidassa puheen kanssa. Kehonkieleen perehtymällä voimme ymmärtää muita ja vaikuttaa heidän mielipiteisiinsä ilman, että he edes huomaavat. Mukana on huumorilla höystettyä käytännön opastusta ajatusten lukemiseen vaikka työpaikkahaastattelussa tai treffeillä.

Henrik Fexeus on naurattanut ja provosoinut ruotsalaisia mm. tv-sarjoissaan Mind Melt ja Hjärnstrom, joka nähdään Yle Teemalla vuonna 2008. Hänen ei-verbaalisen viestinnän, kehonkielen ja psykologisen manipuloinnin tuntemuksensa on antanut uuden merkityksen ajatusten lukemiselle.]]>

Pip is about to head to college, but she is still haunted by the way her last investigation ended. She’s used to online death threats in the wake of her viral true-crime podcast, but she can’t help noticing an anonymous person who keeps asking her: Who will look for you when you’re the one who disappears?

Soon the threats escalate and Pip realizes that someone is following her in real life. When she starts to find connections between her stalker and a local serial killer caught six years ago, she wonders if maybe the wrong man is behind bars.

Police refuse to act, so Pip has only one choice: find the suspect herself—or be the next victim. As the deadly game plays out, Pip discovers that everything in her small town is coming full circle... and if she doesn’t find the answers, this time she will be the one who disappears...]]>

Pretty and popular high school senior Andie Bell was murdered by her boyfriend, Sal Singh, who then killed himself. It was all anyone could talk about. And five years later, Pip sees how the tragedy still haunts her town.

But she can't shake the feeling that there was more to what happened that day. She knew Sal when she was a child, and he was always so kind to her. How could he possibly have been a killer?

Now a senior herself, Pip decides to reexamine the closed case for her final project, at first just to cast doubt on the original investigation. But soon she discovers a trail of dark secrets that might actually prove Sal innocent . . . and the line between past and present begins to blur. Someone in Fairview doesn't want Pip digging around for answers, and now her own life might be in danger.]]>

War and Peace 3774496 War and Peace broadly focuses on Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in 1812 and follows three of the most well-known characters in literature: Pierre Bezukhov, the illegitimate son of a count who is fighting for his inheritance and yearning for spiritual fulfillment; Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, who leaves his family behind to fight in the war against Napoleon; and Natasha Rostov, the beautiful young daughter of a nobleman who intrigues both men.

A s Napoleon’s army invades, Tolstoy brilliantly follows characters from diverse backgrounds—peasants and nobility, civilians and soldiers—as they struggle with the problems unique to their era, their history, and their culture. And as the novel progresses, these characters transcend their specificity, becoming some of the most moving—and human—figures in world literature.

From the award-winning translators of Anna Karenina and The Brothers Karamazov comes this magnificent new translation of Tolstoy's masterwork.]]>

Jane Eyre 8675358 "Come to me–come to me entirely now," said he. "Make my happiness–I will make yours."

Born into a poor family and raised by an oppressive aunt, young Jane Eyre becomes the governess at Thornfield Manor to escape the confines of her life. There her fiery independence clashes with the brooding and mysterious nature of her employer, Mr. Rochester. But what begins as outright loathing slowly evolves into a passionate romance. When a terrible secret from Rochester's past threatens to tear the two apart, Jane must make an impossible choice: Should she follow her heart or walk away and lose her love forever?

Unabashedly romantic and utterly enthralling, Jane Eyre endures as one of the greatest love stories of all time. This must-have edition of a timeless classic is beautifully presented for a modern teen audience.]]>

Anna Karenina 151
«Nos capítulos iniciais de Anna Karénina, somos conduzidos, uma e outra vez, a um sentido de analogia musical. Há efeitos de contraponto e harmonia no desenvolvimento das principais tramas do “prelúdio Oblonski� (o acidente na estação ferroviária, a zombadora discussão sobre o divórcio entre Vronski e a baronesa Chilton, o deslumbramento do fogo vermelho diante dos olhos de Anna). O método de Tolstoi é polifónico; mas as harmonias principais desen- volvem-se com uma tremenda força e amplitude. As técnicas musicais e linguísticas não podem comparar-se de um modo exato. Mas como poderíamos elucidar de outro modo o sentimento de que as novelas de Tolstoi surgem de um princípio interior de ordem e vitalidade, enquanto as dos escritores menos importantes parecem alinhavadas?»

«Anna Karénina morre no mundo do romance; mas cada vez que lemos o livro ela ressuscita, e mesmo depois de o termos acabado adquire outra vida na nossa recordação. Em cada personagem literária existe algo da Fénix imortal. Através das vidas perduráveis das suas personagens, a própria existência de Tolstoi teve a sua eternidade.» [George Steiner, Tolstoi ou Dostoievski]]]>

Alone With You in the Ether 54453257
From Olivie Blake, the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six, comes an intimate and contemporary study of time, space, and the nature of love. Alone with You in the Ether explores what it means to be unwell, and how to face the fractures of yourself and still love as if you're not broken.

CHICAGO, SOMETIME�

Two people meet in the Art Institute by chance. Prior to their encounter, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist, undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. By the end of the story, these things will still be true. But this is not a story about endings.

For Regan, people are predictable and tedious, including and perhaps especially herself. She copes with the dreariness of existence by living impulsively, imagining a new, alternate timeline being created in the wake of every rash decision.

To Aldo, the world feels disturbingly chaotic. He gets through his days by erecting a wall of routine: a backbeat of rules and formulas that keep him going. Without them, the entire framework of his existence would collapse.

For Regan and Aldo, life has been a matter of resigning themselves to the blueprints of inevitability—until the two meet. Could six conversations with a stranger be the variable that shakes up the entire simulation?]]>

Everything I Know About Love 40099418 Sunday Times dating columnist Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In her memoir, she vividly recounts falling in love, wrestling with self-sabotage, finding a job, throwing a socially disastrous Rod-Stewart themed house party, getting drunk, getting dumped, realising that Ivan from the corner shop is the only man you've ever been able to rely on, and finding that that your mates are always there at the end of every messy night out. It's a book about bad dates, good friends and - above all else - about recognising that you and you alone are enough.

Glittering with wit and insight, heart and humour, Dolly Alderton's powerful début weaves together personal stories, satirical observations, a series of lists, recipes, and other vignettes that will strike a chord of recognition with women of every age - while making you laugh until you fall over. Everything I know About Love is about the struggles of early adulthood in all its grubby, hopeful uncertainty.]]>

<![CDATA[8 Rules of Love: How to Find It, Keep It, and Let It Go]]> 61886251
Nobody sits us down and teaches us how to love. So we’re often thrown into relationships with nothing but romance movies and pop culture to help us muddle through. Until now.

Instead of presenting love as an ethereal concept or a collection of cliches, Jay Shetty lays out specific, actionable steps to help you develop the skills to practice and nurture love better than ever before. He shares insights on how to win or lose together, how to define love, and why you don’t break in a break-up. Inspired by Vedic wisdom and modern science, he tackles the entire relationship cycle, from first dates to moving in together to breaking up and starting over. And he shows us how to avoid falling for false promises and unfulfilling partners.

By living Jay Shetty’s eight rules, we can all love ourselves, our partner, and the world better than we ever thought possible.]]>

The Catcher in the Rye 5107 It's Christmas time and Holden Caulfield has just been expelled from yet another school...

Fleeing the crooks at Pencey Prep, he pinballs around New York City seeking solace in fleeting encounters—shooting the bull with strangers in dive hotels, wandering alone round Central Park, getting beaten up by pimps and cut down by erstwhile girlfriends. The city is beautiful and terrible, in all its neon loneliness and seedy glamour, its mingled sense of possibility and emptiness. Holden passes through it like a ghost, thinking always of his kid sister Phoebe, the only person who really understands him, and his determination to escape the phonies and find a life of true meaning.

The Catcher in the Rye is an all-time classic in coming-of-age literature- an elegy to teenage alienation, capturing the deeply human need for connection and the bewildering sense of loss as we leave childhood behind.

J.D. Salinger's (1919�2010) classic novel of teenage angst and rebellion was first published in 1951. The novel was included on Time's 2005 list of the 100 best English-language novels written since 1923. It was named by Modern Library and its readers as one of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. It has been frequently challenged in the court for its liberal use of profanity and portrayal of sexuality and in the 1950's and 60's it was the novel that every teenage boy wants to read.]]>

Meet Noh thirty years old, with five wedding rings so far, and she’s never once been in love.

When Inji takes a job at Wedding & Life, the popular matchmaking service, she never imagines role will be with NM, their secretive marriage division that rents out ‘field husbands and wives� to their wealthiest clientele for a limited time. Just like a real marriage, Inji's assignments involve a wedding, some sex and a bit of housework, there is even a special helpline in case of any DV. It's all tailored exactly to the client’s desires - no legal battles, no fights, no emotional baggage.

In no way is Inji interested in finding real love, despite everyone trying to convince her otherwise- her brazen neighbour Granny, her flirtatious best friend Shi-jeong, and her failed blind date, Tae-seong.

Then one of Inji's old husbands, a mysterious high-profile music producer, requests her back for another year. Soon Inji’s own dark past will begin to unravel � as well as the sinister underbelly of the NM’s management team, who will stop at nothing to preserve their reputation - and that of their clients.]]>

The first read of the year was, unfortunately, a disaster. I couldn’t find any clear purpose or meaningful intent in this book, and it wasn’t enjoyable either. The only reason I kept reading was out of curiosity about how it would end and why it was chosen for a Kdrama adaptation. The story felt superficial, and the protagonist’s claim that the marriage agency was different from prostitution was unconvincing, especially since 80% of the book focused on sex.

What’s friend-love? It’s that super-awesome bond you share with someone who makes you happy every time you text each other, or meet up for an epic outing. It’s not love-love. You don’t want to swap saliva; you want to swap favorite books. But it’s just as intense and just as amazing.

And it’s this search for that connection that comic-book artist Yumi Sakugawa captures in I Think I Am in Friend-Love with You . It’s perfect if you've ever fallen in friend-love and want to show that person how much you love them...in a platonic way, of course.]]>

العجوز والبحر 6435332 إرنست هيمنجواي المولود سنة ١٨٩٨ والحائز على جائزة نوبل للأدب عام1954.
فى هذه الرواية نحن أمام عجوز يخرج بقاربه ويتوغل في البحر لكي يصطاد ويتمكن من صيد سمكة كبيرة ويبدأ في رحلة العودة إلى الشاطئ وهو قرير العين بها لأن رحلته أتت بثمارها ولكن ليس كل ما يتمناه المرء يدركه فسرعان ما تخرج أسماك القرش المتوحشة من مكامنها البحرية لكي تنهال على السمكة التي ربطها العجوز إلى قاربه الصغير وبالرغم من كل محاولات العجوز المستميتة لكي ينقذ سمكته إلا أن جهوده ذهبت أدراج الرياح ونجحت القروش في التهام السمكة ولم يتبقى منها سوى جمجمتها وسلسلتها الفقرية.]]>
