Sinopsis

The Professor by Charlotte Bronte was the first novel by Charlotte Brontë. It was written before Jane Eyre, but was rejected by many publishing houses. It was eventually published, posthumously, in 1857, with the approval of Charlotte Brontë's widower, Arthur Bell Nicholls, who took on the task of reviewing and editing the text.

The novel is the story of a young man, William Crimsworth, and is a first-person narrative from his perspective. It describes his maturation, his career as a teacher in Brussels, and his personal relationships.

The story starts with a letter William has sent to his friend Charles, detailing his rejection of his uncle's proposal that he become a clergyman, as well as his first meeting with his rich brother Edward. Seeking work as a tradesman, William is offered the position of a clerk by Edward. However, Edward is jealous of William's education and intelligence, and treats him terribly. Through the actions of the sympathetic Mr Hunsden, William is relieved of his post, but starts a new job at a boys' boarding school in Belgium.

    On his tenth birthday, Lux Jiang unwittingly inherits an extraordinary gift - the ability to detect mythical artifacts hidden across the world. These ancient relics, brimming with immense magical powers, bestow their bearers with extraordinary abilities. What seems like a dream come true for the boy soon reveals darker truths. As Lux uncovers more artifacts, he stumbles upon cosmic secrets that have eluded human detection for millennia - fragile ecosystems of mysterious creatures now teetering on the brink of extinction.

Their mission demands unprecedented fusion of quantum computing with artifact-enhanced sorcery, blending Silicon Valley innovation with Shang Dynasty mysticism.

    Mr. Meek—Musketeer by Clifford D. Simak - Adventure flamed in Mr. Meek's timorous heart, the surge of battle and singing blades. And so, with a rocket-ship for his steed and a ray-gun for his sword, he sallied forth ... carrying cavalier justice to the resentful shining stars. 
    Now that he'd done it, Oliver Meek found the thing he'd done hard to explain. 
    Under the calm, inquiring eyes of Mr. Richard Belmont, president of Lunar Exports, Inc., he stammered a little before he could get started. 
    "For years," he finally said, "I've been planning a trip...." 
    "But, Oliver," said Belmont, "we would give you a leave of absence. You'll be back. There's no reason to resign." 
    Oliver Meek shuffled his feet and looked uncomfortable, a little guilty. 
    "Maybe I won't be back," he declared. "You see, it isn't just an ordinary trip. It may take a long, long time. Something might happen. I'm going out to see the Solar System." 
    Belmont laughed lightly, reared back in his chair, matching fingertips. "Oh, yes. One of the tours. Nothing dangerous about them. Nothing at all. You needn't worry about that. I went on one a couple of years ago. Mighty interesting...." 
    "Not one of the tours," interrupted Meek. "Not for me. I have a ship of my own." 
    Belmont thumped forward in his chair, looking almost startled. 
    "A ship of your own!" 
    "Yes, sir," Oliver admitted, squirming uncomfortably. "Over thirty years I've saved for it ... for it and the other things I'll need. It sort of got to be ... well, an obsession, you might say." 
    "I see," said Belmont. "You planned it." 
    "Yes, sir, I planned it." 
    Which was a masterpiece of understatement.

    In the United States, Black men are almost six times more likely to be imprisoned than white men. This disproportionate impact can be traced back to slavery, Jim Crow laws, and the criminalization of Black people into the modern day. With growing awareness about unfair treatment in the justice system, more and more people are calling for change. Read more about the history and causes of mass incarceration and how activists are reforming and rethinking justice.

    The Gray is a sensitively told middle grade story from Chris Baron about living with anxiety and finding ways to cope. 
     
     
     
    It's been a tough year for Sasha—he's been bullied at his middle school and his anxiety, which he calls the Gray, is growing. Sasha's dad tells him to "toughen up"—and he does, but with unfortunate, hurtful results. His parents and therapist agree that a summer in the country with his aunt might be the best medicine, but it's the last place he wants to be. He'll be away from his best friend, video games, and stuck in the house that reminds him of his beloved uncle who died two years earlier. 
     
     
     
    His aunt is supportive, and there are lots of places to explore, and even some potential new friends. When Sasha is introduced at a local ranch to a horse coincidentally—incredibly—nicknamed the Gray, he feels he's found a kindred spirit. 
     
     
     
    But his own Gray is ever-present. When one of his new friends disappears, Sasha discovers that the country is wilder and more mysterious than he imagined. He tries to muster enough courage to help in the search . . . but will the Gray hold him back?
