Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become the Kings Champion. But she is far from loyal to the crown. Though she goes to great lengths to hide her secret, her deadly charade becomes more difficult when she realises she is not the only one seeking justice. Her search for answers ensnares those closest to her, and no one is safe from suspicion not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a princess with a rebel heart.

Unappassionante storia di coraggio ed emancipazione femminile ambientata in un paesino del Sud tra gli anni 30 e gli anni 60. Salento, giugno 1934. Nella piazza principale di Lizzanello, dove vivono poche migliaia di anime, si ferma un autobus da cui scende una coppia, Carlo e Anna. Carlo, figlio del Sud emigrato al Nord, e contento di essere tornato a casa, mentre Anna ha uno sguardo pensieroso e preoccupato perche sa di essere arrivata in una terra che non le appartiene. Anna e quella diversa, e la forestiera che non si adatta alle regole che imprigionano le donne del Sud: non va in chiesa, dice sempre quello che pensa ed e determinata a vivere la sua vita senza condizionamenti. Trascorso un anno dal suo arrivo, Anna fa qualcosa di impensabile ed estremamente rivoluzionario: si iscrive al concorso per entrare alle Poste. Una postina donna non si e mai vista in paese, ma Anna sorprende tutti, vince il concorso e inizia a lavorare come portalettere. La notizia stravolge Lizzanello e fa storcere il naso a tutti quei pettegoli, uomini e donne, che dicono che Anna non durera. Anna lavorera invece per ventanni consegnando lettere, cartoline e messaggi. Diventera un filo invisibile che unisce le vite di tutti i paesani e inconsciamente - ma soprattutto senza che nessuno lo voglia - cambiera molte cose. Accanto ad Anna, in tutti questi anni, il fedele marito Carlo che non ha mai smesso di sostenerla e amarla, e Antonio, fratello inseparabile di Carlo, innamorato di lei da sempre. A fare da sfondo alle vicende della famiglia Greco e di Anna, gli eventi drammatici della Seconda Guerra Mondiale e i movimenti femministi.

Doctor Watson, Mr Sherlock Holmes's - The most famous introduction in the history of crime fiction takes place in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet, bringing together Sherlock Holmes, the master of science detection, and John H. Watson, the great detective's faithful chronicler. This novel not only establishes the magic of the Holmes myth but also provides the reader with a dramatic adventure yarn which ranges from the foggy, gas-lit streets of London to the burning plains of Utah. The Sign of the Four, the second Holmes novel, presents the detective with one of his greatest challenges. The theft of the Agna treasure in India forms a catalyst for treachery, deceit and murder. With these two classic novels, A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of the Four, you have the brilliant foundation of the Sherlock Holmes canon. Reading pleasure rarely comes any finer.

Finnegans Wake is the book of Here Comes Everybody and Anna Livia Plurabelle and their family - their book, but in a curious way the book of us all as well as all our books. Joyce''s last great work, it is not comprised of many borrowed styles, like Ulysses, but, rather, formulated as one dense, tongue-twisting soundscape.This ''language'' is based on English vocabulary and syntax but, at the same time, self-consciously designed to function as a pun machine with an astonishing capacity for resisting singularity of meaning. Announcing a ''revolution of the word'', this astonishing book amounts to a powerfully resonant cultural critique - a unique kind of miscommunication which, far from stabilizing the world in meaning, constructs a universe radically unfixed by a wild diversity of possibilities and potentials. It also remains the most hilarious, ''obscene'', book of innuendos ever to be imagined.

In love we find out who we want to be.In war we find out who we are.FRANCE, 1939In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesnt believe that the Nazis will invade France...but invade they do, in droves of marching soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When a German captain requisitions Viannes home, she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything. Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates all around them, she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive.Viannes sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old girl, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets Gaetan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only the young can...completely. But when he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance and never looks back, risking her life time and again to save others.With courage, grace and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the womens war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France--a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.
