Arc de Triomphe

E.G. Schroeder

Sinopse

Do you not realize that the beauty of it all is that life should be lived with a sense of purposeful execution?

Life is very complex, what one person views as an experience might be an everyday occurrence for another. Both, experience and occurrence, are there to empower us and make us better men. Everything hidden in the world, will eventually manifest itself in a peculiar way, a way that the mind cannot comprehend. As men, the world is on your shoulders and your doings will impact everything that the eye can see and the mind conceive. Stand up as men and be counted.

E.G. Schroeder was born in Windhoek, Namibia (formerly known as South West Africa) on September 5, 1975, while the Moon was in a New Moon phase. With a lineage that has its footprints rooted securely in Germany and India, including Africa, his love for music is evident in most genres. His surname was changed to Schroeder when he was 13 years of age.
Early on, he found religion to be very disturbing to the peace within his soul. Little did he know the root cause was only lingering at the surface. This attempt at writing “Arc de Triomphe” was his very first attempt at writing something down on paper. It was an eye-opening experience, and it took on a life of its own.

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.

Tender Betrayal

Rosanne Bittner

Stolen kisses and secret reunions lead to a passion that civil war cannot sever in this glorious historical romance from the bestselling author of Caress.   Beautiful, proud Audra Brennan feels like a stranger in a foreign land when she comes north from Louisiana to study music. But when she savors her first forbidden taste of desire in the arms of handsome lawyer Lee Jeffreys, his caresses spark a flame within her that burns away the differences between rebel and Yankee, all objections silenced by the fierce beating of two wild hearts falling impetuously, impossibly in love.   Suddenly cannon fire shatters the country. Principled, impassioned, and committed to a nation united, Lee answers the call to fight against the Confederacy, while Audra hurries home to a plantation shadowed by the darkening cloud of war. But in the most terrible of circumstances, can either afford to surrender their heart?   “Power, passion, tragedy and triumph are Rosanne Bittner’s hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears.” —RT Book Reviews
