Sinossi

Madame Bovary is the French writer Gustave Flaubert's debut novel. The story focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. Though the basic plot is rather simple, even archetypal, the novel's true art lies in its details and hidden patterns. Flaubert was a notorious perfectionist and claimed always to be searching for le mot juste ("the precise word").

Long established as one of the greatest novels ever written, the book has often been described as a "perfect" work of fiction. Henry James writes: "Madame Bovary has a perfection that not only stamps it, but that makes it stand almost alone; it holds itself with such a supreme unapproachable assurance as both excites and defies judgment." Giorgio de Chirico said that in his opinion "from the narrative point of view, the most perfect book is Madame Bovary by Flaubert".

    He was six-foot-one. He woke up and his clothes did not fit. 
    By the second morning, he had lost three inches. By the third, six more. His girlfriend measured him with a tape she already had ready. She wrote the number in a notebook that was not new. 
    She is calm. She is organized. She has a plan. That should be comforting. It is not. 
    Marcus is shrinking, and Vanessa is stepping into every space he leaves behind. His work. His friends. His world. She builds him a home that fits inside a bookshelf. She carries him in her palm. She holds him in her pocket while people who used to know him sit inches away and have no idea he is there. 
    He cannot open a jar. He cannot reach a shelf. He cannot leave. But the most unsettling discovery is not what he has lost. It is what he finds in the warmth of her closed hand, in the steady rhythm of her heartbeat against his back, in the moment he stops fighting and does not want to start again. 
    Something is wrong. Not just with his body. With how good it feels to be hers. 
    Shrunk By Her is a slow-burn psychological romance exploring power, intimacy, and the space between captivity and devotion. 
    This book contains mature themes including size difference intimacy, female dominance, and psychological power exchange. Intended for adult readers.

    When a confidential informant skips town and leaves the keys to his thriving Miami tattoo business behind, Vance Courage and his girlfriend Lauren Gold realize they’ve waltzed into a fresh opportunity to launder a couple of million dirty dollars. With a little rebranding, it’s the perfect front; all they need to make it look legit is a tattoo artist. Enter Armani Altman, a talented tattooist with a big social media presence. 
    But things go sideways when their dog Cashmere discovers a rotting human torso in the alley behind Ink Hollow. Vance and Lauren can’t afford to get mired in an investigation that’s sure to be a sensational media story, and as an ex-detective, Vance knows how to make evidence disappear. One quick nighttime dumpster drop — and poof — the problem will be gone. 
    Except morning comes, and the torso is back — propped against the rear door — setting off a chain reaction with more body parts planted for them to find. As Gold and Courage struggle to solve the puzzle and save the business, they soon realize they are in the bullseye of a methodical killer.

    On many a day had Handy, the Goat Girl of Mern, pursued her goats up and down the rocky eminences of her native mountain. And never—NEVER—in her fourteen or so years' experience had she been blown up by a mountain spring. But there comes, in every one's experience a day which is unlike every other day, and so it was with the Goat Girl. As she was pursuing What-a-butter, her favorite goat, there was a sudden crash, a whish, and up flew the slab of rock on which she was standing, up and away. The adventures into which she was carried by this simple though awefull beginning take a whole book to relate. How she met Nox the Royal Ox of Keretaria, how together they went in search of little King Kerry, how at last they rescued him and found themselves feted guests of Ozma of Oz, all these things you must read for yourselves.
