Summary

In the aftermath of war, they searched for meaning—in love, in travel, and in themselves.
Published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises is Ernest Hemingway's groundbreaking debut novel and a defining work of the Lost Generation. Set in Paris and Spain during the 1920s, it follows Jake Barnes, an American expatriate, and his circle of friends as they navigate love, jealousy, and disillusionment in the shadow of World War I.

From Parisian cafés to the thrill of Pamplona's bullfights, Hemingway's lean, understated prose captures both the glamour and the aimlessness of an era. Beneath the surface lies a poignant meditation on masculinity, identity, and the struggle to find purpose in a fractured world.

"Hemingway's best novel, filled with poignant beauty and understated power."
– The New York Times

"A landmark of modernist literature—spare, profound, and unforgettable."
– The Guardian

    Originally delivered as a series of lectures at Trinity College, Cambridge, in A Chorus of Ears Denise Riley meditates upon the emphasis we place upon the persona of the poet, relegating their actual poetry to a second-order importance. Prize culture and the primacy of the poet – as opposed to the poem – transform criticism into a beauty contest, constraining our ability to meet the lyric on its own terms.What, Riley asks, might be discovered about the purpose of poetry, its originary point within our language and more yet besides, when we liberate it from the persona of the author? In allowing the poem to speak, what might we hear?‘One of the most eloquent thinkers about our life in language’ – The Sunday Times

    She sold her business to a billionaire dominatrix for £75 million. The price? One night as her submissive. 
Desire’s Truth is an erotic lesbian romance about power, consent, and what it costs to give up control. Victoria Fraser has built an empire on precision and dominance, winning in the boardroom and in the bedroom. Then Suzette Conner-Wakeman, a razor-sharp billionaire with a taste for risk, makes an offer Victoria cannot ignore: seventy-five million pounds for her companies, on one condition that is not up for negotiation. For a single night, Victoria must submit completely. 
With her wife Abby’s surprising encouragement, Victoria agrees, and a carefully staged encounter becomes something far more revelatory. Boundaries are planned, safewords are honoured, and aftercare is real, yet the experience exposes truths Victoria has kept locked away. Desire collides with trust, jealousy brushes against devotion, and the marriage at the centre of everything proves stronger than either woman dared to hope. 
As Suzette’s motives come into focus and the trio navigate the consequences, Victoria and Abby must decide what their love looks like when old rules no longer fit. This is erotic lesbian romance that prizes character, chemistry, and emotional stakes, where intimacy is explicit, communication is clear, and surrender can be an act of power.For readers who crave erotic lesbian romance with a grown-up edge, Desire’s Truth delivers heat with heart, a marriage tested and deepened, and the intoxicating pull of choosing each other again.

    The United States, through its local, state, and national contests, holds more elections, more often, than any democracy in the world. But in recent years, there have been troubling signs that our system of campaigns and elections has become much more fragile and vulnerable. More specifically, in the past twenty years, campaigns have changed profoundly: social media and viral messaging compete with traditional media, races once considered local in nature have become nationalized, Supreme Court decisions on campaign finance law now encourage mega-donors, voters are more polarized, party affiliation has waned, and the middle ideological ground has given way to extremist language and voter rage. 
 
 
 
This new edition of Campaigns, Elections, and the Threat to Democracy: What Everyone Needs to Know® offers the most up-to-date examination of campaigns, elections, and future threats to voting and democracy. It will also include new data on voter participation, voter fraud, reapportionment post-2020 census, party polarization, campaign finance, and more. 
 
 
 
Given the fragility of our election process, what are the threats to a healthy American democracy? This is not simply a book on how campaigns are run, but why campaigns and elections are integral components of American democracy and how those fundamental elements may be vulnerable to misuse.

Was it an act of sabotage? The rival diving team got me on my knees the night before our competition. They fed me their seed, sending my mind into a tailspin. 
Now, I’m on international television, fully hard in my little speedo. I can’t focus on diving—my dreams are falling apart. All I can think about is how good it felt to kneel for other men. It felt so good to accept their authority… 
What have they done to me…?
