Sinossi

The Four Feathers is a novel written by A.E.W. Mason in 1902. The story is set during the late 19th century and follows the adventures of Harry Faversham, a young officer in the British Army.

Harry is deeply in love with Ethne Eustace, but just as he is about to propose to her, he receives orders to go to Sudan to fight in a war against the Mahdi, who is leading a rebellion against the British. Harry is torn between his duty to his country and his love for Ethne. The novel is a powerful tale of redemption, courage, and love, and has remained popular for over a century.

A. E. W. Mason (1865-1948) was an English author, playwright, actor, army officer, intelligence agent, and politician. He is best known for his 1902 novel "The Four Feathers" which tells the story of courage and cowardice in wartime. Mason is also known for creating Inspector Hanaud, a French detective who was an early template for Agatha Christie's famous Hercule Poirot. Despite being one of the most popular authors in life, he was almost forgotten soon after his death in 1948.

    Meet Wolf. 
    Wolf is a legend, a rebel in the street art world. Museums have paid millions just for him to recreate the hard-hitting political images he’s portrayed on buildings all over the world. 
    Yet only a few know his true identity. 
    Red is a rising star. Her murals throughout Miami’s poverty-stricken streets have triggered a craze in not only the art world, but in Wolf. 
    He’s on Red’s trail, sniffing out her scent in the graffiti jungles of Wynwood and luring her to one of his legendary 420 parties—where true stoners join together on April 20th to partake of the greatest herb. 
    Red has no time for men. Yet, Wolf is not the type to give up. 
    Can Red stay on the path and avoid being ate by the big, bad wolf? 
    Or, will they both collide, on a sensual journey, where weed smoke slips against bare skin and dreams equate to a box full of spray paint, an empty wall, a voice for the people, and two rebels’ hearts beating to the cadence of Miami’s rough streets?

    New York, Paris, San Francisco – back in their heydays, these cities were outrageously fun for gays and artists. Berlin was the forgotten ghetto, but post-war and post-wall, Berlin has become Europe's queerest city. In Naked Love Berlin, experience the city through the lives of four gay and bisexual men as they learn that the party's only fun when earned. 
    Kay is a Canadian with a corporate job. He struggles for a fabulous European life, but fabulous and monogamous are uneasy bedfellows. Alex is an American with a trust fund. No responsibility means freedom to hop from one fantasy to the next until family obligation ensnares – or saves. Thomas is a German student from a small town whose confidence swells while studying in the sinful capital. But can he keep this from slipping into arrogance, or even violence? Timothy is a British entrepreneur and drawn to Berlin not for its tax breaks, but for the city's men. How could anything bad ever happen to a man who thinks with his penis – or for this power bottom, prostate? For these men, will their lust for life lead to love? 
    If you enjoyed such outings as Tales of the City, Queer as Folk, and Cabaret but want a modern edge, you’ll love Naked Love Berlin. If you’ve ever wondered what queer life in Europe could be like, Naked Love Berlin is for you, especially with a glass of bubbly. Prost! 
    "Touching and raw survey of friendship, love, and sexual exploration in Berlin... Readers will feel deeply for the individual characters as they discover, suffer, grow, and seek their own versions of happy endings."

    The Billionaire Brothers Kent, Book 3 of 4 - Ridge's story 
    As a research scientist it is Lani Donatelli's dream to make a difference in the lives of people suffering from neurodegenerative diseases. There's only one problem, and it's a huge one - she's lost her funding from the big pharmaceutical companies and her research lab is in danger of closing down. Without funding her experiments are at a standstill. On top of that, she has one month to come up with the money to clear months of arrears with the leasing company before she and her team are evicted. In desperation, she turns to the one man she knows can save her skin. But is she willing to pay the price he demands? 
    As co-member of a Houston school board, Ridge Kent has admired Lani Donatelli for months. She, however, can't stand him. According to her, he's nothing but a joker and an annoying one at that. Their disagreements at board meetings don't help since the constant conflict builds a brick wall between them. He wants to get to know her better but how can he, when all their interactions have been the polar opposite of positive? And then, like a heaven-sent miracle, lovely little Lani falls right into his hands. She has nowhere to turn but to him. He is willing to help, on one condition - Lani Donatelli must become his wife. 
    Bride by blackmail - a recipe for disaster or an unexpected chance for love?
