Beschreibung

Cities of the Plain Marcel Proust - In this fourth volume, Prousts novel takes up for the first time the theme of homosexual love and examines how destructive sexual jealousy can be for those who suffer it. Sodom and Gomorrah is also an unforgiving analysis of both the decadent high society of Paris and the rise of a philistine bourgeoisie that will inevitably supplant it.

    A “charming” story of an inexperienced aspiring witch trying to prove her worth—and taking on a bigger battle than she bargained for (Publishers Weekly). 
     
    Arianwyn has flunked her witch’s assessment. She’s doomed. Declared an apprentice and sent to the town of Lull in disgrace, she may never become a real witch—much to the glee of her obnoxious arch-rival, Gimma. 
     
    But remote Lull is not as boring as it seems. Strange things are sighted in the woods, a dangerous infestation of hex creeps throughout the town, and a mysterious magical visitor arrives with his eye on her. With every spirit banished, creature helped, and spell cast, Arianwyn starts to get the hang of being a witch—even if she’s only an apprentice. But the worst still lies ahead. For a sinister darkness has begun to haunt her spells, and there may be much more at stake than just her pride—for Arianwyn and the entire land.
