Grave Homecoming (A Maddie Graves Mystery Book 1) by Lily Harper Hart (HarperHart Publications) (1,987 Review)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Maddie Graves is returning home, and it's under unfortunate circumstances. Following her mother Olivia's death, someone has to take care of Maddie's cantankerous grandmother Maude, and the family tree is almost limbless now. It's not easy for Maddie to return to small-town life in Blackstone Bay, mostly because the boy she left behind is still there - and she's drawn to him the second she sees him again. Nick Winters has always been in love with Maddie. At a certain point, he decided there was nothing he could do but let her go. When she returns to town after a ten-year absence, his world is upended. Maddie's reintegration isn't smooth, and when she discovers a dead body, all eyes are on her. Since Nick is a local police detective, he finds their lives intersecting with alarming frequency. He knows she's hiding something, and he's determined to find out what it is. Maddie and Nick are drawn together, but they have a few obstacles in their way - including a lifelong secret she's kept buried: She can see and talk to ghosts. When Maddie's life is in danger, though, Nick can't turn away. This duo is on a collision course with the truth, and death is stalking them every step of the way. Will they get a chance to embrace destiny, or were they doomed before they ever got a chance to begin? Note: This is the first book in the Maddie Graves mystery series.

Coeurs cicatrisés (Traduit) (Litterature roumaine traduite t. 2) (French Edition) by Max Blecher (12 Reviews)    Price verified 11 hours ago

« C?urs cicatrisés » est la traduction inédite en langue française du second roman de Max Blecher (1909-1938) « Inimi cicatrizate » (1937) déjà traduit en plusieurs autres langues. Dans son inévitable « Histoire de la littérature roumaine des origines jusqu'à nos jours » (1941), George Calinescu estime que :« [ce] roman apparaît comme une imitation de « Der Zauberberg » de Thomas Mann. En lieu et place du sanatorium alpin accueillant des malades atteints de tuberculose pulmonaire, nous avons devant nous un sanatorium maritime des malades atteints de tuberculose osseuse. Comme chez Thomas Mann, les malades mènent une vie individuelle et complète dans un univers qui leur est propre. Tout ce qui relève de la physiologie est remarquable. De ce point de vue, le roman constitue un reportage de grande qualité. L'application du plâtre, la souffrance du malade d'être momifié vivant, le prurit, la crasse inhérente, les fistules, sont autant de moments dramatiques qui dévoilent un triste aspect de l'existence. Mais lorsque le romancier se met à romancer, il devient absurde, et lorsqu'il tombe dans l'érotisme, vraiment répugnant. » Précisons que « La Montagne magique » « Der Zauberberg », publié en 1924 est un livre volumineux, un roman d'idées inspiré à Thomas Mann par le séjour de son épouse dans un sanatorium à Davos, tandis que Blecher évoque en moins de deux cents pages Berck-sur-Mer, en France. Il aurait sans doute aimé voir son ?uvre perdurer à travers l'adaptation, il y a quelques années au Théâtre National de Constanta, de ce texte qui émeut avant tout par sa simplicité et par le minimalisme de sa forme qui soutient un fond explicite, voire brutal. Que le lecteur francophone juge à présent par lui-même ! Précisons également que cette version électronique reprend le livre papier avec cependant une table des matières dictée par les besoins de la navigation. Les chapitres sont découpés selon les divisions ...

Why this is the book for you? In the last 17 years, I have focused on only one thing in my life, to help over 16.000 people become more skilled readers in group sessions and private online coaching. One thing I noticed about all of them is the simple fact that holds true for everyone. Reading is a skill, and like any skill, it can be mastered if you put your mind to it and exercise and train your skills. No matter what age, social group, income, everyone who wants to achieve better reading skills can do it. A man who reads only one book a year will never have the same skill as a man who reads a book a week. He can achieve the same skill, but only by taking the time to read more. In this book, you will find an exercise and training plan to increase your reading skills. You can, of course, get better at anything by just going out there and do more of it, read more books, run more runs, swim more, play more guitar and so on. But if there is something inherently flawed with your running/swimming/reading habit today, you can never go as far. In the same way as all the greats have their coaches, teachers, and mentors on their way to greatness. You gain better results by having a coach lay out an exercise plan and help you work through your old, outdated habits and help you create new, upgraded habits in your chosen field. My belief is that you picked this book, or researched this book, because you need to read more, want to read more, or want to know if that is at all possible. Yes. it is possible, and in this book, I give you the first steps to becoming a more skilled reader. That is why this book is for you!Why did I write this series? On my journey, ...
