Sinopsis

Joseph Victor von Scheffel's 'The Trumpeter of Säkkingen: A Song from the Upper Rhine' is a romantic novel set in the picturesque landscapes of the Upper Rhine region. Written in a lyrical and poetic style, the novel combines elements of love, nature, and folk traditions. The story follows the love affair between a young trumpeter and a baron's daughter, with themes of loyalty and honor running throughout. Scheffel's descriptions of the Rhine River and the medieval town of Säkkingen add depth to the narrative, creating a vivid and immersive reading experience. Joseph Victor von Scheffel, a German poet and novelist, drew inspiration from the rich cultural heritage of the Rhine region to craft this timeless tale. His background in law and literature equipped him with the skills to weave historical detail and romantic themes seamlessly. Scheffel's love for his homeland is evident in the portrayal of the landscapes and traditions of the Upper Rhine. I highly recommend 'The Trumpeter of Säkkingen' to readers who enjoy romantic literature with a historical backdrop. Scheffel's novel offers a captivating blend of passion and nostalgia, making it a classic piece of German literature worth exploring.

    A rollicking, globe-trotting adventure with a twist: a four-legged heroine you won't soon forget.Elsie Bovary is a cow, and a pretty happy one at that-her long, lazy days are spent eating, napping, and chatting with her best friend, Mallory. One night, Elsie and Mallory sneak out of their pasture; but while Mallory is interested in flirting with the neighboring bulls, Elsie finds herself drawn to the farmhouse. Through the window, she sees the farmer's family gathered around a bright Box God—and what the Box God reveals about something called an "industrial meat farm" shakes Elsie's understanding of her world to its core. There's only one solution: escape to a better, safer world. And so a motley crew is formed: Elsie; Jerry—excuse me, Shalom—a cranky, Torah-reading pig who's recently converted to Judaism; and Tom, a suave (in his own mind, at least) turkey who can't fly, but who can work an iPhone with his beak. Toting stolen passports and slapdash human disguises, they head for the airport.Elsie is our wise-cracking, pop-culture-reference-dropping, slyly witty narrator; Tom—who does eventually learn to fly (sort of)—dispenses psychiatric advice in a fake German accent; and Shalom, rejected by his adopted people in Jerusalem, ends up unexpectedly uniting Israelis and Palestinians. David Duchovny's charismatic creatures point the way toward a mutual understanding and acceptance that the world desperately needs.A Macmillan Audio production.

    A parody of the famed Keep Calm and Carry On British motivational poster, and featuring the same successful format as the best-selling Keep Calm and Carry On book, Now Panic and Freak Out is destined to be the mantra for the worriers of the world! Keep Calm and Carry On is all very well, but life just isn't that simple. It's time to panic. This clever collection features uncannily appropriate (for the times) quotes, such as:* "We experience moments absolutely free from worry. These brief respites are called panic." --Cullen Hightower* "The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work." --Robert Frost* "I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened." --Mark Twain

    “[A] frothy debut, as enchanting as Joanne Harris’s Chocolat”—from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Tower, the Zoo, and the Tortoise (More Magazine). 
     
    The charming tale of a small French town in which the local barber, whose business is failing as his clients grow older and lose their hair, decides to become the town matchmaker. 
     
    Barber Guillaume Ladoucette has always enjoyed great success in his tiny village in southwestern France, catering to the tonsorial needs of Amour-sur-Belle’s thirty-three inhabitants. But times have changed. His customers have grown older—and balder. Suddenly there is no longer a call for Guillaume’s particular services, and he is forced to make a drastic career change. Since love and companionship are necessary commodities at any age, he becomes the town’s official matchmaker and intends to unite hearts as ably as he once cut hair. But alas, Guillaume is not nearly as accomplished an agent of amour, as the disastrous results of his initial attempts amply prove, especially when it comes to arranging his own romantic future. 
     
    For every reader who adored Chocolat, Julia Stuart’s The Matchmaker of Périgord is a delectable, utterly enchanting, and sinfully satisfying delight. 
     
    “A hilarious romp off the beaten track. Love it to bits.” —Joanne Harris, New York Times–bestselling author of Chocolat 
     
    “Filled with enchanting settings and a brilliant attention to detail, Stuart’s first novel is an enjoyable trip through the sweetness, sadness, and hilarity that love—and life—often brings.” —Library Journal 
     
     “Deliciously witty . . . Stuart does for Périgord what Peter Mayle did for Provence.” —James Tipton, author of Annette Vallon 
     
    “Fast, furious and incredibly funny.” —She magazine (UK)

    The Cat is calm, observant, charismatic, independent, proud, and joyful; he knows how to strut and is impervious to judgement; he accepts himself as he is and adapts quickly; he knows to say nothing and to avoid conflicts, and yet he knows exactly what he wants and dares to ask for it. The Cat is free. After observing his cat, Ziggy, for years, Stephane Garnier became convinced that cats have life down to an art form, so he set out to share Ziggy's je ne sais quoi with the world. Highlighting forty trademark cat qualities that are (almost) entirely applicable to human daily living, Garnier provides insights that are delightfully useful as well as tips for living a day in the life of a cat-and a Q&A to test your cat quotient to see how much work you have to do learn the subtle art of living like a feline. Whether at work, at home, or in your social life, you can learn from cats how to resist stress, remain independent, never lose your charisma, and quietly influence the world around you.
