Un lugar encantador adonde acudirán cuatro mujeres inglesas, hartas y aburridas, escapando de la rutina. Allí, en primavera y en pleno Mediterráneo, conversan, viven y descubren los mejores matices de su sensibilidad, oculta por la monotonía cotidiana. Y todo empezará a cambiar, quizá para siempre. Esta comedia de Elizabeth von Arnim, una de las escritoras más leídas de principios del siglo XX, brinda tanto placer y fascinación hoy como entonces.

South Carolina is too small for a republic and too large for an insane asylum. It fired the first shots of the Civil War. It invented nullification. It blockaded its own harbor with pirates. It sent Strom Thurmond to the Senate for 48 years. It built one of the great cities of the colonial world on the labor of enslaved people, nearly got destroyed by the people it was enslaving, survived Sherman's march with its attitude intact, and produced, in the same 350 years, some of the most consequential villains and most remarkable heroes in American history, often from the same county.

Missouri has always had a talent for being exactly in the wrong place at the right time. Too north to be South, too south to be North, and too stubborn to pick a side about anything else, it has spent centuries collecting misunderstandings like souvenirs. Misery, Missouri, and Other Misunderstandings is a fast, irreverent romp through the state’s strangest moments, from frontier chaos and river town hustle to political showdowns that somehow made everything more complicated than it needed to be.

Across the Atlantic, the election result is close. Too close. Donald Thorn claims victory, and the right-leaning media runs his premature acceptance speech. However, the result will have to be settled in the courts, as allegations of fraud and vote-rigging are rife. Throw the death of Democrat candidate Joe Bowman into the mix, and the dispute threatens to reach fever-pitch on the streets of America. Meanwhile, BBC political reporter Jane Clark is an ambitious woman on a course to the top.

All-American RPG is an action-packed LitRPG Isekai about Sam, a struggling, debt-ridden warehouse worker who dies and reincarnates into the magical, medieval fantasy world of Hallwick. Instead of traditional magic or swordsmanship, Sam awakens with the unique "American" class. Armed with the American Arsenal skill —which allows him to summon modern firearms, heavy artillery, and explosives using his stamina —and powered by reality-bending patriotic buffs like the Pledge of Allegiance, Sam quickly disrupts the local power dynamic.

You wake up one day and realise something unsettling… You are the same age as old people. Not in theory. Not someday. Now. And yet—inside? Nothing feels quite the same as the number suggests. It’s Weird Being the Same Age as Old People is a refreshingly honest, sharply observed guide to navigating the strange, often funny, occasionally uncomfortable reality of midlife and beyond. This isn’t a book about “anti-ageing.” And it’s not a quiet surrender either. It’s about the gap—between how old you are… and how old you actually feel.

He woke with a most-pressing problem. He wasn’t ready for the solution. Jerry needs a distraction from his Wendsday morning. It’s troubled. Not by the empty bowls that still remind him of his late cat, Pipsqueak. Nor the kitchen, that could desperately use a ten-thousand-dollar makeover.

Then he checks the previous evening’s winning lottery numbers...

As it is well known that the "wise men" came "from the East," and as Mr. Touch-and-go Bullet-head came from the East, it follows that Mr. Bullet-head was a wise man; and if collateral proof of the matter be needed, here we have it — Mr. B. was an editor. Irascibility was his sole foible; for in fact the obstinacy of which men accused him was anything but his foible, since he justly considered it his forte. It was his strong point — his virtue; and it would have required all the logic of a Brownson to convince him that it was "anything else.

Una terra di nessuno che non figura nemmeno sulle carte geografiche, e che dunque può essere colonizzata, reclamandone la proprietà.
