The first night after Caroline moves into her fantastic new San Francisco apartment, she realizes she's gaining an intimate knowledge of her new neighbor's nocturnal adventures. Thanks to paper-thin walls and the guy's athletic prowess, she can hear not just his bed banging against the wall but the ecstatic response of what seems (as loud night after loud night goes by) like an endless parade of women. And since Caroline is currently on a self-imposed dating hiatus, and her neighbor is clearly lethally attractive to women, she finds her fantasies keep her awake even longer than the noise. So when the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts Simon Parker, her heard-but-never-seen neighbor. The tension between them is as thick as the walls are thin, and the results just as mixed. Suddenly, Caroline is finding she may have discovered a whole new definition of neighborly...

Unfortunately, Emery’s pod thinks he should stick to his own kind. There are those who would try to hurt Sean if Emery won’t let him go. Can Emery protect the man he loves? Views: 397
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy. Views: 397

Dostoevskii's 'Crime and punishment' as palimpsest for a novel writing aggressively against itself and its own species, a novel of a young man ruled by accidie who brings to late 19th century Russia the true teaching of nihilismThe novel was inspired by an offhand remark of Luis Buñuel's. He apparently disliked the linear narrative in Dostoevskii's 'Crime and punishment' and thought the book would have been much improved if, 'as Raskolnikov ascends the stairs to murder the old pawnbroker, a boy on his way to buy a loaf of bread rushed past him and suddenly became the focus of the narrative instead of Raskolnikov'. Thence a novel of a young man bumping into Raskolnikov and rushing off and never seeing or hearing anything even remotely connected to the events and world of 'Crime and punishment'1880s Russia, a young man deficient in both active personality and practical efficacy. A world infatuated with cruelty and nihilism, indifference enshrined as religion. Temporality and geographically enforceable space as rigorously drained as most remnants of morality and idealistic aesthetics. Surrealism without the lofty, generous estimations of human possibility Views: 396
Amit is having strange dreams. He is being helped by Dr. Singh who is a psychiatrist and Narendra, a detective. The turn of events take them to Haridwar where the oldest secret organization of the world is doing something which is making many people to act strangely. The three of them along with 4 others enter another dimension where the secret organization is situated and find the real Truth!Strange Beginnings is a collection of short stories by Treesong. These five tales take place in the same contemporary science fiction and fantasy setting as the author’s first novel, Change. Although they all share a broad setting, each is an independent tale with a very different focus. There are several people who discover extraordinary new abilities; an android searching for her place in the world; playful fairies leading a young man into the woods; a secretive organization conducting an unusual test; and more. Each story relates in its own way to the theme of strange beginnings—and often strange endings. Views: 396

In the speech he gave upon accepting the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957, Albert Camus said that a writer "cannot serve today those who make history; he must serve those who are subject to it." And in these twenty-three political essays, he demonstrates his commitment to history's victims, from the fallen maquis of the French Resistance to the casualties of the Cold War. Resistance, Rebellion and Death displays Camus' rigorous moral intelligence addressing issues that range from colonial warfare in Algeria to the social cancer of capital punishment. But this stirring book is above all a reflection on the problem of freedom, and, as such, belongs in the same tradition as the works that gave Camus his reputation as the conscience of our century: The Stranger, The Rebel, and The Myth of Sisyphus.
