Sinossi

In 1905, a sixteen-year-old Austrian boy falls in love with the music of his compatriot Franz Lehár when he attends the premiere of Lehár’s operetta ‘The Merry Widow’. The boy dreams of becoming an artist in Vienna, has no great interest in politics and shows no signs of anti-Semitism. His name is Adolf Hitler. Inspired by real events, ‘Song of Buchenwald’ vividly portrays Hitler’s transformation into a murderous, racist fanatic, and Vienna’s degeneration into a hotbed of extremism and hate, where Lehár’s Jewish wife Sophie and his Jewish colleagues – including the great librettist Fritz Löhner-Beda – find themselves in grave and constant danger. Yet one fact remains unchanged: Hitler is still a great admirer of Lehár’s music. Can Lehár use this to persuade Hitler to spare Sophie and his colleagues, or will his pleas fall on deaf ears?

    Finding love was last on the list of things I needed to do. I had some personal things to work out before I could even think about searching for my soul mate. From where I stood at the moment, that seemed like something that might never happen. 
    However, I couldn’t help but notice August. We had been friends since we were children. He had a crush on me years ago, but I didn’t feel the same way at the time. He was simply my friend. 
    He had grown and matured recently, though. I felt something different when I looked at him now. The problem was, he had long since given up on a relationship with me. I could tell he had closed that door years ago, and that was precisely why I found myself wishing I could open it again.

    Not all men are born to be heroes, but some discover that true courage lies in serving. 
    Amid the ruins of a world scarred by war and indifference, an anonymous man survives while carrying a silent mission: to restore humanity where all seems lost. Orphans, elders, women wounded in body and soul… each life touched by his hands becomes an act of resistance against desolation. 
    More than a tale of survival, The Last Service is a reflection on sacrifice, dignity, and the power to heal others when there is nothing left to gain. A story where greatness is not measured by victories, but by the ability to sustain hope in the midst of ashes. 
    This book does not speak of servility, but of service born of truth, love, and compassion. For even in the darkest moments, there is always one last service to offer: to remember that we are human.

    Loving You is a steamy, small-town, faking dating romance.Never lie about having a boyfriend, and definitely don't give them a name.I honestly thought there was no harm last summer in naming Miles Asher as my boyfriend. I was convinced my friends from that part of my life would never meet him.I mean, come on, I'm a travel influencer constantly moving from one beach to the next, and Miles is a small-town mechanic. He loves his family and friends, and he's a nice guy. Or so they say. Miles has never cared for me. But now I'm staying in his town of Lovers for the summer, and—surprise!—my vacation friends are too.Luckily, after he tells me no twice, I persuade Miles to be my boyfriend. Then I talk him into letting me rent the apartment next to his house. Together, we convince the town that we are dating.But one touch leads to another, and then there's a kiss, and it becomes very hard to resist a man who makes me want things I've never wanted before. Who looks at me as if I'm the only thing that matters.Still, none of that changes the fact that when the summer is over, I'll leave. My life and my job are to travel. His isn't. Knowing how this ends was supposed to be the easy part.
