Sinossi

In "Arne; Early Tales and Sketches," Bj√∏rnstjerne Bj√∏rnson presents a compelling collection of narratives that explore the complexities of rural Norwegian life through the lens of individual characters grappling with their surroundings and internal struggles. This work is notable for its vivid imagery and lyrical prose, hallmarks of Bj√∏rnson's early literary style, which merges realism with romanticism to depict the serene yet turbulent existence of Norway'Äôs peasantry. The collection not only showcases his talent for character development but also reflects the socio-cultural context of 19th-century Norway, where issues of identity, community, and nature were at the forefront of literary discourse. Bj√∏rnstjerne Bj√∏rnson, a prominent figure in the Norwegian literary scene and a Nobel laureate in literature, was deeply influenced by his upbringing in a rural setting. His childhood experiences and love for the Norwegian landscape provided fertile ground for his storytelling. Bj√∏rnson's commitment to social issues, including his advocacy for national identity and cultural integrity, is intricately woven into these early tales, offering readers insights into his evolving literary purpose and societal concerns. This collection is highly recommended for readers interested in Norwegian literature, as it not only captures the essence of 19th-century rural life but also provides a window into the formative years of one of Norway's literary giants. Bj√∏rnson's evocative storytelling invites readers to explore the interplay between human emotions and the natural world, making it a significant contribution to both regional and universal literary traditions.

    Beatrix thought she’d left magic behind – until it came knocking on her door. 
    Being a private investigator wasn’t supposed to be complicated. I expected cheating spouses and missing pets like BonBon, a kidnapped ‘pure-bred Schnoodle’ with a ruby-studded collar. What I didn’t expect was a desperate elf on my doorstep, begging for help to find her missing parents. Nor did I think that my search would drag me back into the magical world I’d tried so hard to leave behind. 
    I’m Beatrix Stonehaven, empath, martial artist and a magical dud in a long line of exceptional witches. But when a routine case reveals a demon lurking in the shadows, it’s clear that even my mediocre magic might not be enough. Between tracking the elf’s missing loved ones, dodging the secrets of my past and dealing with a stray pup who may be smarter than I am, I’ve got my hands full. 
    With a knack for finding trouble and a lifetime of kicking butt, I’m diving headfirst into a tangled web of magic, mystery and mayhem because ‘simple’ cases don’t exist in my line of work – and the stakes are always higher than they seem. 
    Perfect for fans of strong heroines, lovable animal sidekicks, and heart-racing urban fantasy, Secrets of the Frostbound Cottage delivers action, charm, and supernatural surprises. With stand-alone mysteries, sharp humour, and a swoon-worthy slow-burn romance spanning the series, it’s an unmissable treat.

    Leo Tolstoy was a Russian writer and philosopher who is widely regarded as one of the greatest novelists of all time. His most famous works include War and Peace and Anna Karenina, both of which are considered masterpieces of literature. Tolstoy's writing was known for its realism, attention to detail, and profound psychological insights into human behavior. In addition to his literary accomplishments, Tolstoy was also a prominent social and political thinker. He was deeply influenced by his Christian faith and believed in the importance of nonviolence and pacifism. He also advocated for social and economic equality, rejecting the inequalities of the aristocratic society he was born into. Later in life, Tolstoy became increasingly interested in spiritual matters, rejecting organized religion and instead seeking a more personal, direct connection with God. His writings on spirituality and morality continue to inspire readers and thinkers to this day.

    Killers prowl its suites and the dead line its corridors. The only sane survivor is Fritz, an engineer who lives down in the bowels of the station. Together, they plan an escape. But the further through Saturnalia they sneak, the more the odds of their survival shrink… and the weirder the source of the violence becomes.

    "I'm just the deputy of town, Bounty Hunter. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them. I'm not even the head law enforcer round here. That's Sheriff Woode's job. 
    "If you ask me, Sheriff Woode's a mite too puritanical for his own good. Men like us should be able to drink when and where we can."
