Drei mächtige Männer kommen zusammen und planen eine Verschwörung. Drei andere Männer wünschen sich nichts mehr als die Vernichtung ihrer Kontrahenten. Eine Konfrontation scheint unvermeidlich. Drei ungeklärte Todesfälle beschäftigen die Polizei. Und sie beschäftigen auch Pater Brown, der mal wieder ganz zufällig in die Sache hineingeschlittert ist.

L'amore impossibile del violinista Kuhn per l'affascinante Gertrud è il tema di questo romanzo, imperniato sul contrasto fra l'umbratile personalità artistica di Kuhn e la vitalità istintiva e vincente del rivale, e strettamente legato alla narrativa tedesca di inizio secolo, in particolare a Tonio Kröger.

In Newton geschehen merkwürdige Dinge: Vögel fallen tot vom Himmel, Gegenstände und Tiere verschwinden und alle Gemälde der renommierten Malerin Liz Bennett wurden des Nachts schwarz übermalt! Als auch noch der selbstgefällige Mr. Darcy einen schweren Unfall erleidet, weil jemand die Bremsen seines Wagens manipuliert hat, beginnt Pater Brown auf eigene Faust zu ermitteln. In letzter Minute kann er einen weiteren Einwohner Newtons davor bewahren, an einer Vergiftung zu sterben. Wie hängen all diese Geschehnisse bloß zusammen?

As a child, Chris Hooper dreamed of monsters. But in deep space, he found only darkness and isolation. Then, on planet LV178, he and his fellow miners discovered a storm-scoured, sand-blasted hell - and trimonite, the hardest material known to man. When a shuttle crashes into the mining ship Marion, the miners learn that there was more than trimonite deep in the caverns.

Four books...one groundbreaking author. This collection includes Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), A Room of One’s Own (1929), and The Waves (1931).

A lot can happen on the way from one place to another, especially when an overnight flight makes for an unexpected romantic encounter between strangers seated together; a trucker finds life beyond the ranch where he grew up; and a bored Midwestern housewife tries to escape Kansas City.

The Iliad and The Odyssey are epic poems traditionally attributed to Homer, of which the written versions are dated to the 8th century BCE. Chronicling events in the Greek Bronze Age, this magnificent pair of poems forms the cornerstone of Western literature. If The Iliad is a classic war story, The Odyssey is symbolic of the individual’s journey through life.

The city of Celum is not much like Liscor at all. While Erin is surrounded by familiar, human faces, she’s far from home and without her inn. At the same time, a certain ill-tempered Lyonette is squatting in Erin’s inn, and Goblins are on the move. The Goblin Lord’s threat reaches across the entire region, and the Redfang tribe has rallied against him with the Floodplains tribe, although their Chieftains do not agree on some crucial matters. This winter, there is only snow, Goblins, magic, and iambic pentameter.

Erin is running an inn outside the city of Liscor, but she’s no longer alone. Ryoka Griffin, the City Runner, has business in the south of Izril; she’s out on a dangerous delivery of her own. Yet while both young women have finally found their calling, more and more people are beginning to realize that these visitors from Earth don’t belong here.

"No killing Goblins." So reads the sign outside of The Wandering Inn, a small building run by a young woman named Erin Solstice. She serves pasta with sausage, blue fruit juice, and dead acid flies on request. And she comes from another world. Ours. It's a bad day when Erin finds herself transported to a fantastical world and nearly gets eaten by a Dragon. She doesn't belong in a place where monster attacks are a fact of life, and where Humans are one species among many. But she must adapt to her new life. Or die.

How to Stop Feeling Like Sh*t is a straight-shooting self-improvement guide for women, one that offers frank advice about the most common self-destructive behaviors women engage in. Andrea Owen—a nationally sought-after life coach—crystallizes what’s behind several invisible, undermining habits, from catastrophizing and people-pleasing to listening to the imposter complex or to one’s inner critic. Powerfully on the mark, the chapters are short and digestible, nicely bypassing weighty examinations in favor of punch points of awareness.

Giappone. Per prima cosa si entra in biblioteca. Poi bisogna trovare la signora Komachi, dalla pelle candida e con uno chignon fissato da uno spillone a fiori. Infine, aspettare che ci chieda: "Che cosa cerca?". Sembra una domanda banale, ma non lo è. Perché la signora Komachi non è come le altre bibliotecarie. Lei riesce a intuire quali siano i desideri, i rimorsi e i rimpianti della persona che le sta di fronte. Così, sa consigliare il libro capace di cambiarle la vita. Perché in fondo, come dice Borges, "il libro è una delle possibilità di felicità che abbiamo noi uomini".

The undead threat now serves at his command, but a greater danger remains. The Swarm Queen dominates much of the dungeon, seeming unassailable behind hordes of insectoid monstrosities. Yet Gabriel is relentless in pursuit of his goals: to restore his fallen bonded and to crush Vesrah's Swarm before the sinister darkness she seeded in his soul claims him.

It's Squish - a graphic-novel series, now adapted for audio, about a comic-book-loving, twinkie-eating grade-school amoeba trying to find his place in the world (or at least trying to make it through a school day). This audiobook includes the first four books in the Squish series: Super Amoeba, Brave New Pond, The Power of the Parasite, and Captain Disaster.

Wildlife and monsters have been stirred from their homes by intruders, both in the continent of Chandrar and the Empire of Tiqr, led by Nsiia, the Empress of Beasts, and in Liscor's dungeon, where a certain skeleton continues to help both friend and foes in the only way he knows how. In Liscor, the election will result in a new group of leaders for the city. But is that for the better or worse?

Nel cuore del Giappone esiste un luogo che ha dello straordinario. Una piccola caffetteria che serve un caffè dal profumo intenso e avvolgente, capace di evocare emozioni lontane.

Un luogo, in un piccolo paese del Giappone, dove si può essere protagonisti di un'esperienza indimenticabile. Basta entrare, lasciarsi servire e appoggiare le labbra alla tazzina per vivere di nuovo l'esatto istante in cui ci si è trovati a prendere una decisione sbagliata.
