Publisher's Summary:

Auchincloss' tale of a New York family dynasty opens with the suicide of Geraldine Brevoort, a woman whose pride and envy fed her alcoholism and kept her alone, and leads the listener through an odyssey, told in flashbacks by Geraldine's plain yet bright cousin, Ida, and Ida's husband, Derrick - also Geraldine's lover, unbeknownst to Ida - and other family members. What unfolds is the story of the intertwining lives of families from different ethnic and social backgrounds, and the misapprehensions that result when such families are brought together through love, marriage, and adultery.

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 20 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

This unique fairy tale filled with whimsy and satire is much more than a story for the nursery. The tale begins with two old philosophers who live in a dark pine wood with their companions the Grey woman of Dun Gortin and the Thin Woman of Inis Magrath. When the wife of farmer MacMurrachu loses her washing board, the farmer comes to ask the philosophers for advice. They direct the old farmer not to a washboard, but to a tree containing a pot of gold. Discover what happens as the story unfolds, as it wanders like a winding Irish country road through a charming landscape of mysterious, plain, mortal, and immortal creatures.

Editorial Reviews:

The Irish actor Donal Donnelly brings an enchanting, almost musical quality to this James Stephens' fairytale. With Donnelly's graceful Irish accent, listeners will be swept up into this magical world of philosophy, folklore, and humor. Containing six books, The Crock of Gold is the tale of a philosopher's journey to find and rescue the beautiful Cáitlin Ni Murrachu from the god Pan. But, of course, no Irish folktale is so simple. Listen along as Donnelly takes you through the mysterious and humorous creation that is James Stephens' Ireland.

Critic Reviews:

"Full of sweetness and whimsicality, of sympathy and tenderness and sly satire, of merriment and of poetry." (The New York Times)

"There is no book in the world the least like it, and probably there will never be another." (The Atlantic)

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 23 votes

Publisher's Summary:

In her ruefully funny and wickedly perceptive debut novel, Alison Espach deftly dissects matters of the heart and captures the lives of children and adults as they come to terms with life, death, and love. At the center of this affluent suburban universe is Emily Vidal, a smart and snarky teenager, who gets involved in a suspect relationship with one of the adults after witnessing a suicide in her neighborhood.

Among the cast of unforgettable characters is Emily's father, whose 50th birthday party has the adults descending upon the Vidal's patio; her mother, who has orchestrated the elaborate party even though she and her husband are getting a divorce; and an assortment of eccentric neighbors, high-school teachers, and teenagers who teem with anxiety and sexuality and an unbridled desire to be noticed, and ultimately, loved.

Critic Reviews:

"[A]stute and funny as idiosyncratic as it is stirring." (The New York Times)

"[An] outstanding coming-of-age novel one of the funniest books I've read in a long time." (The Wall Street Journal)

Ella, Miro e i loro alleati sanno che le sorti dell'impero sono legate alla misteriosa reliquia. Se cadesse nelle mani del primate, il futuro luminoso del mondo rischierebbe di essere cancellato per sempre.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Fredrik Welin, médecin à la retraite, vit reclus sur son île de la Baltique. Une nuit, une lumière aveuglante le tire du sommeil. Au matin, la maison héritée de ses grands-parents n'est plus qu'une ruine fumante.

Réfugié dans la vieille caravane de son jardin, il s'interroge : à soixante-dix ans, seul, dépossédé de tout, a-t-il encore une raison de vivre ? Mais c'est compter sans les révélations de sa fille Louise et, surtout, l'apparition d'une femme, Lisa Modin, journaliste de la presse locale. Tandis que l'hiver prend possession de l'archipel, tout va basculer de façon insensible jusqu'à l'inimaginable dénouement.

Après l'immense succès des Chaussures italiennes, auquel il fait suite, Les bottes suédoises brosse le portrait en clair-obscur d'un homme tenaillé par le doute, le regret, la peur face à l'ombre grandissante de la mort ? mais aussi la soif d'amour et le désir ? , d'un être amené par les circonstances à revisiter son destin et à reprendre goût à la vie. Tel est l'ultime roman de Henning Mankell : une œuvre d'une sobriété élégiaque et poignante, traversée et portée par la beauté crépusculaire des paysages.

Publisher's Summary:

Tenaya has never left Yosemite Valley. He was born in a car by the Merced River, and grew up in a hidden camp with his parents, surviving on fish, acorns, and unfinished food thrown away by the park's millions of tourists. But despite its splendor, Tenaya's Yosemite is a visceral place of opposites, at once beautiful, dangerous, and violent. When he meets Lucy, a young woman from the south side of the park, Tenaya must choose between this new relationship and the Valley, terrorism and legend, the sacred versus the material.

In this modern retelling of Samson and Delilah, Graphic the Valley explores mythical strength, worldly greed, love, lust, and epic destruction. Set entirely in the majestic Yosemite Valley, Hoffmeister recalls Edward Abbey's vivid sense of place and urgent call for preservation of one of the world's most spectacular sites.

Publisher's Summary:

Halcyon days of flower-filled meadows, home-made wines, enthralling stories, and church outings were the essence of his childhood. But there was a harsher side too, leaving the security of his mother's bed, a death close to home, and days at the village school marred by a sadistic teacher, were all part of growing up. As was Rosie. And after his encounter with her under the haywain, Laurie Lee was "never the same again".
