Delle donne, del loro universo fatto, oggi come ieri, di aspettative sociali e aspirazioni individuali spesso dolorosamente contrastanti, non si sa niente. È un refrain ripetuto con regolarità dai giornali, dalla televisione, dalla pubblicità: la donna come mistero, come non detto, come seduzione di uno sguardo velato; la donna che custodisce il proprio segreto gelosamente, come fa con la casa, i figli, la famiglia. La donna che chi la capisce è bravo, a sentire i discorsi da bar.

As if it wasn’t awkward enough being an adopted normal kid in a family of purebred shape-shifters, Kale Rollins was now being transferred to a new school made solely for their kind. And it gets worse. He must attend this school under the pretense that he, too, is a shape-shifter in order to “babysit” his 14-year-old brother, who has suddenly shifted a year earlier than expected. However, with the newfound knowledge that shape-shifting families are mysteriously disappearing, Kale wonders if attending Emerson Fox Academy is actually as safe as it seems.

Thirty-one-year-old Charlie isn't in the mood for Christmas cheer. Her boyfriend has left her for his personal trainer, her mother has absconded with her latest husband for the holidays, and - adding insult to (literal) injury - her London apartment has just been destroyed by a gas leak. Single, mildly concussed, and temporarily homeless, Charlie realizes there's only one place to go: Cozy Canine Cottages, where she'll spend the season looking after her cousin Jez's doggy day care center. And if she's not exactly a dog person, well, no one has to know.

My reputation has always preceded me. I’m a brother to the queen of the Badlands. I’m one of the few confidants to her fiancé - the devil himself.

My only loyalty is to my family, and when someone important to them goes missing, I vow to do whatever is necessary to track her down and bring her back.

Dee Forester and Melissa Frink have been searching for their friend Spencer Reign since he apparently ran away from home six months ago. Just as they fear they might as well give up, they receive a phone call from him out of nowhere. He’s panicked. He’s desperate. And he’s begging them to come get him. The problem is the connection is not very clear, and they only get part of his address before they are disconnected. Taking what they know, they enter the street into the GPS and take off on a rescue mission. Soon, they find it’s a lot more dangerous than they thought.

"...para el tiempo en que los signos vitales de Jeff estaban deteriorándose, él comenzó a orar y hacer las paces con Dios. Llamó a Kirsten y oró con ella y le dijo que fuera conmigo. Luego oró conmigo y me dijo "Ve con tu hija". Sabía que se estaba rindiendo y quería que estuviera con Kirsten para poder dar su último aliento. Lo miré directo a los ojos y le dije, "¡no te atrevas a dejarme! ¡Sigue luchando por mí! ¡Yo te amo!" Entonces comenzó a hablar en lenguas y la enfermera me preguntó si él hablaba en otro idioma."

Friendships with other women are as important to our mental, physical, and spiritual health as rest, exercise, and prayer. We don't just want friends - we need friends. Yet sometimes they can be as difficult assigning a song without the lyrics.

The underground mine fires ravaging Pennsylvania coal country have forced 11-year-old Brigid Howley and her family to seek refuge with her estranged grandparents, the formidable Gram and the black lung-stricken Gramp. Tragedy is no stranger to the Howleys, a proud Irish-American clan who takes strange pleasure in the "curse" laid upon them generations earlier by a priest who ran afoul of the Molly Maguires. The weight of this legacy rests heavily on a new generation, when Brigid, already struggling to keep her family together, makes a grisly discovery in a long-abandoned bootleg mine shaft.

Negotiation is the most important skill you can develop to get what you want in business and life. But we often struggle to do it effectively. We fail to recognise opportunities, we prepare poorly or we let ourselves be led by others or by our own fear. Natalie Reynolds, negotiation expert and CEO of negotiation consultancy Advantage Spring, will teach you how to avoid these pitfalls, to keep cool and in control and to achieve what you want every time - whether you're responsible for large deals at work or simply renegotiating your phone contract.

Al-Hasan al-Wazzan - born in Granada to a Muslim family that in 1492 went to Morocco - became famous as the great Renaissance writer Leo Africanus, author of the first geography of Africa to be published in Europe (in 1550).

In Lessico famigliare, il riaffiorare alla memoria di parole, espressioni, frasi e modi di dire sentiti tante volte in casa da Natalia Ginzburg, scandisce, con ironia e tenerezza, la storia della sua famiglia - i Levi - ebrei e antifascisti, nell'Italia tra gli anni Venti e gli anni Cinquanta del Novecento.

All'inizio degli anni Settanta, in un clima di spaesamento generale, una madre ancora giovane scrive al figlio, sbandato e distante, scappato all'estero per motivi politici. Romanzo epistolare da cui emerge un interno famigliare lacerato e sordo, un intreccio di vite solitarie, come scrive Cesare Garboli, "fatte di passi sbagliati", di gelose intimità e di corrosive lontananze.

Autoritratto magistrale per ricchezza di temi e leggerezza di tono, "Le piccole virtù" racconta di figli, di amicizie, di nostalgie, di infanzia, adolescenza e maturità. Come afferma Mario Fortunato nell'Introduzione, "questi testi non sono racconti e non sono saggi, ma pagine che fanno la spola tra un capo e l'altro dello stesso universo letterario." Scritti tra l’autunno del 1944 e la primavera del 1960, questi testi continuano a essere una lezione di vita e di letteratura.

In einem Baum mitten im Wald sind jede Menge Geheimnisse versteckt. Minty und Raymond spionieren in der Nachbarschaft, um herauszufinden, von wem diese Geheimnisse stammen. Am Ende des Sommers haben sie nicht nur viel über die Bedeutung von Geheimnissen gelernt, sondern auch über sich selbst.

Diese sechs Erzählungen zeigen unsere Welt als eine, in der es keine Gewissheiten mehr gibt. Sie beschreiben die unüberbrückbare Kluft zu den vorangegangenen Generationen und die jungen, nüchternen Frauen, die mit Kraft und Ausdauer und beinahe heiterer Gelassenheit die alten Untugenden vertreiben: nicht lügen und nicht zulassen, dass andere lügen. Es sind Frauen, die die großen Tugenden (wie die Großzügigkeit) den kleinen Tugenden (wie die Sparsamkeit) vorziehen.
