Sinossi

In "Another Study of Woman," Honoré de Balzac masterfully delves into the complexities of female identity and societal roles in 19th-century France. This novella, part of Balzac's extensive "La Comédie Humaine" series, employs a rich narrative style that blends realism with psychological insight, revealing the intricacies of women's desires, ambitions, and societal constraints. Through the lens of various female characters, Balzac critiques the patriarchal structures that confine women, making this work a significant commentary on gender dynamics and social mores of his time. Honoré de Balzac, a seminal figure in French literature, was profoundly influenced by the social changes and economic upheavals of his era. His personal experiences with love and loss, as well as his extensive observation of Parisian society, equipped him with a nuanced understanding of women's issues. Balzac's writings are often informed by his passion for realism, which sought to depict life in all its complexities, and "Another Study of Woman" stands as a testament to his literary ambition and empathy towards the female experience. This compelling novella is recommended for readers who seek a profound exploration of femininity and social critique. Balzac's eloquent prose, combined with his keen psychological analysis, invites readers to reflect on the enduring themes of love, ambition, and the societal constraints that shape women's lives. A must-read for those interested in both classic literature and feminist discourse.

Season of the Wolf

John E. Siers

Outnumbered and Outgunned… Just Like Old Times! 
Lorna Greenwood is back, and she’s been given a new command. Well, maybe “new” isn’t the right word. LFS Werewolf is one of the oldest ships in the Lunar Fleet. She’s been rebuilt many times during her 70 years in service, even though she’s not as fast or as heavily armed as Fleet’s more modern light cruisers. Nonetheless, Lorna is proud of her and is determined to whip her green crew into shape for the mission ahead. 
Besides, the Bug War is over, and nobody expects Werewolf will be going into battle anytime soon. Fate, however, has an annoying habit of ignoring expectations…

Take a Leap with me

Silvia Sancho

A wedding.
Lots of shots.
A Porsche parked on a dark street.
The groom's best friend.
The man I shouldn't have slept with.
The one who wore an impeccable grey suit and a starched white shirt.
The owner of a pair of green eyes that spoke miles more than his irresistible mouth.
The youngest partner in his law firm.
The man I went to bed with.
Madness.
The traces of my nails on the dashboard of his car as a proof.
The best sex I've ever had.
A huge problem.
He was unattainable.
I was broken.

The Reigate Puzzle

Arthur Conan Doyle

The Adventure of the Reigate Squire, also known as "The Adventure of the Reigate Puzzle" or "The Adventure of the Reigate Squires", was one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The Adventure of the Reigate Squires was first published in 1893. It is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Reigate Squire" twelfth in his list of his twelve favorite Holmes stories.The elder Cunningham's confidence is broken after his arrest and he tells all. It seems that William followed his two employers the night they broke into the Acton estate (Holmes has already deduced that it was they, in pursuit of documents supporting Mr. Acton's legal claim, which they did not find). William then proceeded to blackmail his employers – not realizing that it was dangerous to do such a thing to Alec – and they thought to use the recent burglary scare as a plausible way of getting rid of him. With a bit more attention paid to detail, they might very well have evaded all suspicion.Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.
