Orphaned at birth, Oliver Twist is born into the grimmest of 19th century English workhouses with a life of grinding poverty ahead of him. But the boy is a fighter and after being evicted from the workhouse for asking for 'more' and surviving a stint as an undertaker’s assistant, he walks many miles to London and finds a whole new life with a gang of young pickpockets led by the Artful Dodger and their guardian Fagin.

Running the bakery with my sister is my life—early mornings, endless dough, and just enough sugar to keep me sane. I don't have time for distractions. But when I accidentally text a stranger, everything changes. He's not just mysterious—he's sharp-tongued, wickedly charming, and far too good at making me forget common sense. What starts as playful banter turns into something more…something that stirs my Omega instincts in ways I don't understand.

Unsprezece povesti in care dragostea e privita din unghiuri surprinzatoare si, in acelasi timp, unsprezece secvente ale unui roman construit pe o unica poveste, a unei iubiri ce nu-si gaseste ritmul. Lipsa comunicarii, tradarea, gelozia, angoasele si asteptarile, toate aceste stari, puse sub...

I came here to hide from heartbreak. Not fall straight into it again, times three. One cheating ex, a million shattered promises, and a heat that decided to crash down weeks early. So yeah, I'm not exactly thriving. My only plan? Hide out in a remote cabin, write my next book, and avoid Alphas forever. Instead… Boom. Fire. Cabin gone. No explanation. No warning. Just smoke, ash, and the sinking feeling that maybe it wasn't an accident. Enter three local firefighters who are way too hot, way too kind, and way too Alpha. Atlas. River. Levi.

È il 1929. Isabelle è fuggita dall'Ucraina meridionale, tra villaggi di pietra e campi di grano stecchiti, dove la fame mordeva e il domani era un'incognita. Sopravvissuta all'affondamento della sua nave, arriva a Boston con un bagaglio di vestiti sbiaditi e una speranza timida. Finn, giovane banchiere, la assume come domestica nella sua villa: tra salotti che si specchiano nei lampadari, dame in abiti di seta e uomini intenti a discutere d'affari tra una portata e l'altra, Isabelle spazza i corridoi, presenza silenziosa e distante, priva della raffinata bellezza di Vanessa, la moglie di Finn.

Congiure di corte, imperatori avvelenati, esili, matricidi, infamie varie, Nerone, Agrippina, Messalina. Quando si fa il nome di Lucio Anneo Seneca, il Giovane, bisogna subito associarlo a un fondale di trame e di lotte all'ultimo sangue per il potere. Bisogna pensare a imperatori pazzi e geniali, a calunnie, a cordate, a rese dei conti, a notti romane popolate di incontri segreti, di patti magari sottoscritti per essere subito disattesi. Sono cose che non vi giungono nuove?

Prefata de Daniel Cristea-Enache Romanul are drept tema centrala ironia: fata de romanul clasic, fata de temele lui majore, fata de literatura, in general. Protagonistul, un tinar mereu in cautarea nefericirii, pentru a gasi motivatia autocompatimirii, este prins in diverse situatii ce...

"Lucian Dan Teodorovici e un maestru al circului suicidar, al bufonadelor patibulare. În pofida deriziunii însă, cartea lui Teodorovici e tristă, ca existenţialismul de cîrciumă şi gang. Tristeţe amărîtă şi sordidă, insidioasă ca o igrasie care-l îmbibă, finalmente, pe ipocritul...

Prefata de Luminita Marcu. "Povestirile sint absolut surprinzatoare prin umorul lor sec si negru, prin felul economicos in care sint scrise, prin morala (sociala) pe care o au bine incapsulata intr-o aparenta de gratuitate, de poveste spusa fara nici un scop, ba chiar intr-un fel nating...
