Le PDG de ma société, Raphaël d'Arcy, est jeune, drôle, intelligent et riche. En plus, il est super sexy.

Where can a tin of tuna buy you clean clothes? Which British education system struggles with 50 percent illiteracy? Where do teetotal Muslims attend AA meetings?

The New York Times Book Review called Neal Stephenson's most recent novel "electrifying" and "hilarious".

Un gentile, cioè un non ebreo, domanda a un ebreo: "Perché voi ebrei rispondete sempre a una domanda con una domanda?" E l'ebreo: "E perché no?" Perché questa storiella per me è estremamente importante? Perché muove una questione centrale nell'ebraismo: la domanda. La domanda è una delle basi che sostengono la cultura e il pensiero ebraici. Essere umano è colui che sa porre domande, non chi dà risposte. Perché chi pone domande apre alla produzione di senso, apre al futuro, dà alle generazioni a venire la possibilità di intervenire, di esistere.

On the eve of her wedding to Nicholas Young, heir to one of the greatest fortunes in Asia, Rachel should be over the moon.

For a nation that elected Barack Obama as president, here is the first novel of the new era: The Mere Future, by award-winning novelist, activist, and playwright Sarah Schulman, set in a utopian (or is it dystopic?) future vision of New York City. The city has morphed into what appears to be an idealized version of itself, the result of what the new mayor calls "The Big Change," in which rent is cheap, homelessness is a thing of the past, and the only job left is marketing.

“You know what people really need? Somebody who will listen hard and then find a way to tell them, ‘It’s not all your fault. It’s going to work out fine. Don’t give up.’” So advice columnist ‘Dear Lily’ Brown deeply believes. But Lily could write a letter to herself, asking what to do about an ex-husband who still wants her dating advice, how to redecorate the family home she’s kept exactly the same since her parents died tragically young, how to move on with her strangely becalmed life...and what to do when your wild-child estranged sister storms back into town.

Doug Stanhope has been drunkenly stumbling down the back roads and dark alleys of stand-up comedy for over a quarter of a century, roads laden with dank bars, prostitutes, cheap drugs, farm animals, evil dwarfs, public nudity, menacing third-world police, psychotic breaks, sex offenders, and some understandable suicides. You know, just for levity. While other comedians were seeking fame, Stanhope was seeking immediate gratification, dark spectacle, or sometimes just his pants.

Zoey, a recent college graduate with a worthless degree, makes a reluctant trip into the city after hearing that her estranged con artist father died in a mysterious yet spectacular way.

She’s on a losing streak at home, too. Her days, nights, and dinners run together, as Davis juggles a revolving door of uninvited guests, namely her rotten ex-ex-husband, Eddie Crawford.

Quest'essere straordinario deve dimostrare di possedere e coltivare una virtù fondamentale: la pazienza. Egli sa di dover leccare oggi per incassare domani.
