  A hilarious personal account from within the walls of the asylum.  
  Unbelievably true stories that will make you laugh out loud while wincing at the shocking detail. This book will leave you wondering how society can be so seriously messed up, and how collective minds have malfunctioned. Not just for those with mental disorders, but those supposedly treating the afflicted. 
  This is definitely not a recruitment advert for mental health nursing. 
  This is a hard-hitting reality show. As the author says, “It’s a warts and all” account — meaning not just the warts but also the halitosis, the skid marks, and more. A pig wearing lipstick is still a pig; you cannot sugarcoat reality. 
  Your jaw will drop often, but it will be exercised with laughter throughout.

  A Handful of Raisins is a heart-stirring memoir about survival, strength and courage. For Michèle Misino de Luca, life began as a series of dark, traumatic episodes and continued as deeply challenging events beset her incessantly throughout her youth. Yet somehow, she rises to value life, viewing it as a miracle. She was five years old when she first felt completely on her own, and although food, clothing and a warm bed were provided, it seemed her survival was not ensured. Every night, when she was handed those raisins, there was a moment of intimacy in her soul. She ate those raisins ever so slowly, savoring not just their sweetness, but the sweetness of a few moments when everything was alright. Imagine being a child seemingly dropped into a dark hole. Nothing around you but strangers. Nothing familiar. Throughout this memoir, readers will gain a true understanding of loneliness and despair, while receiving the gratifying reminder that you do not have to succumb and be formed by your painful experiences. You can become who you say you are, and who you say you are can be based on what you value most. Our author declares herself fully alive and becomes so alive with dignity, wonder and joy. In her groundbreaking and raw story, Michèle Misino de Luca had the tenacity not only to survive, but to thrive. Unwilling to surrender to victimhood, she had to change. She had to find joy. It certainly was not easy, but in a world by herself, she created her own silver lining. This is a memoir about celebrating the fullness of life, written by a truly extraordinary person. This is a story about seeking and accepting the handful of raisins in an otherwise empty room.

Comprising one-hundred-and-eighty-four chapters and over one million words, the epic confessional describes in eloquent and explicit detail the exploits of a man (who refers to himself simply as 'Walter'), whose life was devoted to the pursuit of erotic adventure and carnal pleasure.

  Chapter VI
  Mary the cook.—A bloody nose and broken piss-pot.—An involuntary spend.—A feel and a poke.—A new sensation.—At a baudy house.—Mary's history.—She leaves.

  The Secret History

  Procopius

  A scandalous and vengeful cult favorite of the Byzantine Empire.
   
  Procopius held a position of esteem in Justinian’s empire as an advisor to the military commander Belisarius. He even wrote the official histories of Justinian’s military conquests, lauding both the emperor and his commander. But secretly… Procopius hated them both, so he wrote Anecdota, later known as Secret History, in private.
   
  Published a thousand years after it was written, Secret History labels Justinian as a demonic figure and a despot and takes huge shots at him, Belisarius, and both of their wives, Theodora and Antonina. This book was suppressed and hidden for hundreds of years because of its capacity to throw the whole empire into disarray, but it was eventually found in its full form in the Vatican Library and then published in 1623.
   
  Filled with explosive revelations and the smart and sardonic voice of Procopius, Secret History will appeal equally to armchair historians and those just looking for a Byzantine way to throw an insult.
