No Morning After

Arthur C. Clarke

No Morning After by Arthur C. Clarke 
"But this is terrible!" said the Supreme Scientist. "Surely there is something we can do!" 
"Yes, Your Cognizance, but it will be extremely difficult. The planet is more than 500 light–years away, and it is very hard to maintain contact. However, we believe we can establish a bridgehead. Unfortunately, that is not the only problem. So far, we've been unable to communicate with these beings. Their telepathic powers are exceedingly rudimentary–perhaps even non-existent. And if we cannot talk to them, there is no way in which we can help." 
There was a long mental silence while the Supreme Scientist analyzed the situation and arrived, as he always did, at the correct answer.

The Skeleton in the Cupboard -...

Lilija Berzinska

In the north of Europe, on the top left-hand tip of a country shaped like a butterfly, lies the Livonian coast: a quiet place with wide sandy beaches, wild forests and not very many people at all.
If you decide to go there yourself and sit on the edge of a forest, you might see some little creatures moving around, smaller than the elks but bigger than the wild boar and badgers…
Can you spot prickly Spendthrift, desperately trying to impress her friends? Over by that little house is Hare, preparing buttercup tea and crisp golden waffles for his sailor friend (and prisoner) Wolf, who just wants to be back at sea. And that worried-looking fellow hurrying up the hill is Squishbod – he really does have a skeleton in his cupboard…
Across nine deeply atmospheric and compelling fairytales, Lilija Berzinska follows the desires and anxieties of a community of mysterious creatures in the north of Latvia, gently exploring their preoccupations and suggesting solutions with resonant empathy and wisdom.
A Skeleton in the Cupboard won the prestigious Latvian Literary Award of the Year (Children's Category) in 2019, with judges noting: 'Lilija Berzinska's tales ooze warmth and sweetness.'

Hygge - The Danish Way To...

Alexander Parker

The epidemic of unhappiness, loneliness, and rushed lives is growing and growing. To whom should we look for help?
When was the last time you had a peaceful dinner with the ones you love and care about?
Did you answer “well…” to any of those? Be honest - we all do. To one, two, or even to all. We are constantly being rushed, pushed to do more things, have more things, and be faster, more efficient, and more successful. But it’s burning us out. Even when we reach success, we’re not happy with it.
The Danish may just hold the answer to that - it’s hygge, and you probably have heard about it by now. The problem is most people don’t grab the entire concept. They expect that some candles, hot cocoa, and a warm blanket will immediately solve their problems. But the full spectrum of hygge includes much more.
Go beyond fuzzy cardigans and lavender-scented candles. Embrace hygge to its fullest potential and give yourself true peacefulness and calmness.
In Hygge, you will discover:
• What are the main principles of hygge and how to practice them with ease
• What major benefits can proper hygge bring into your life
• How to make your home as hyggelig as possible
• How to do more for your tastebuds than just hot cocoa
And much more.
You will notice immediate improvements in your life. Never again give in to stress and overwhelming isolation. You too can live the frugal, happy life you always wanted. Just use the astounding practices set up by generations of Danes.
Hygge has many facets you are not yet aware of. It’s a real shame to leave those amazing treasures undiscovered.
Get your life back and hygge up!
