The vendor is dying, and frankly, it had a pretty good run. For years, buyers have been buried under polished pitches, fake personalization, empty “trusted advisor” language, strategic partner theater, automated follow-ups, and sellers who claim to care deeply right up until the contract is signed and the real work begins. Buyers are not fools. They know when a seller is prepared and when they are winging it. They know when someone understands their business and when someone skimmed the website five minutes before the call.

Coetzee grew up in a new development north of Cape Town, tormented by guilt and fear. With a father he despised, and a mother he both adored and resented, he led a double life - the brilliant and well-behaved student at school, the princely despot at home, always terrified of losing his mother's love. His first encounters with literature, the awakenings of sexual desire, and a growing awareness of apartheid left him with baffling questions, and only in his love of the high veld ('farms are places of freedom, of life') could he find a sense of belonging.

Once upon a time? Um, no. Because that's how fairytales start, and Ivy Addison is no princess. In fact, she's very happy being an absolute nobody. She doesn't have glass slippers or a trust fund or "graces"—and she's pretty sure she doesn't need rescuing. She also most definitely isn't overworked as the housekeeper for a rowdy pack of royals... and she certainly has no feelings for any of them. Well, aside from Asher, the Crown Prince and star of all her mortifying dreams. Or Sebastian, the oh-so-charming baron who always has a smile just for her.

Dell'immaginario dell'Occidente fanno parte Crono che divora i propri figli e il digiuno del Venerdì santo; le grandi carestie e i serial killer che si nutrono delle loro vittime; i volti di bambini denutriti e i paté della nouvelle cuisine; i cibi spazzatura e i corpi emaciati di modelle anoressiche. Il cibo, come drammatica necessità o come nemico da rifiutare, è un'ossessione che abita da sempre la nostra vita.

All fiction is character-driven, according to William Bernhardt, despite what you might have heard elsewhere. If your characters don’t interest readers, even the most exciting plots will fail. “Action is character,” Aristotle wrote, but what does that mean, and how can you use that fundamental principle to create dynamic fiction that will captivate readers? This audiobook explains the relationship between character and plot, and how the perfect melding of the two produces a mesmerizing story.

Nine long years have passed since the killer last struck - nine years since eight helpless young women were brutally slaughtered by an icepick-wielding maniac. The trail grew cold and the book was unofficially closed on a serial killer who stopped killing. But now "The Icepick Prowler" has confessed - but only to seven of the killings.

This was no ordinary war. This was a war to make the world safe for democracy. And if democracy was made safe, then nothing else mattered - not the millions of dead bodies, nor the thousands of ruined lives. This is no ordinary novel. This is the story of a young American soldier terribly maimed in World War I - he "survives" armless, legless, and faceless, but with his mind intact.

"Non possiamo pensare di stare bene se ci dimentichiamo delle nostre radici, immerse nel buio della materia, nell'invisibile. Eppure trascorriamo la maggior parte della nostra esistenza prigionieri dell'esterno, identificati con i nostri problemi, i nostri pensieri, i nostri progetti, i nostri ricordi, il nostro modo di guardare il mondo e le nostre teorie sulla vita e su noi stessi. Ma allora, come possiamo fare per incontrare la nostra essenza originaria? La risposta a questa domanda è stata la stessa per tutte le tradizioni antiche: attraverso il digiuno."
