Lawrence's finest, most mature novel initially met with disgust and incomprehension. In the love affairs of two sisters, Ursula with Rupert, and Gudrun with Gerald, critics could only see a sorry tale of sexual depravity and philosophical obscurity. "Women in Love" is, however, a profound response to a whole cultural crisis. The "progress" of the modern industrialised world had led to the carnage of the First World War. What, then, did it mean to call ourselves "human"? On what grounds could we place ourselves above and beyond the animal world? What are the definitive forms of our ... |

Like an avenging, purple-haired Jedi bringing balance to the mansplained universe, Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do?

And sure, he caught her in his powerfully corded arms like a romance novel hero when she accidentally damseled in distress on her first day in the ... |

"The Catcher in Rye" is the ultimate novel for disaffected youth, but it's relevant to all ages. The story is told by Holden Caulfield, a seventeen-year-old dropout who has just been kicked out of his fourth school. Throughout, Holden dissects the "phony" aspects of society, and the "phonies" themselves: the headmaster whose affability depends on the wealth of the parents, his roommate who scores with girls using sickly-sweet affection. Lazy in style, full of slang and swear words, it's a novel whose interest and appeal comes from its observations rather than its plot intrigues (in ... |

Книга от прочутата сага "Хатауей" на Лайза Клейпас - бестселъров автор № 1 на Ню Йорк Таймс. ... Тя крие потаен копнеж... Биатрикс Хатауей винаги се е чувствала далеч по-удобно сред дивата природа и животните, отколкото в балната зала. Макар да е участвала в светския сезон в Лондон, нейната здрава красота и свободолюбив дух не жънат сензационен успех, не дори и сериозно ухажване от предвзетата столична аристокрация. Така че Биа почти се е примирила със съдбата си – никога да не срещне любовта. Дали някога ще дойде време най-необикновената от сестрите Хатауей да бъде харесана от някой мъж, та макар и само за ... |
