Sinossi

Molière, the world-famous classic dramatist, lived, played and wrote three hundred years ago. Son of the court tapestry-maker to Louis XIV of France, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin became an actor, and then, taking the stage-name Molière, himself brought to the stage all the weakness and gaucheness that the tumultuous age set before him every day as France developed a middle class. He depicted the social climber in Les Fâcheux, turned his murderous humour on the hypocrite in Tartuffe, disparaged the money-worshipping bourgeois in L’Avare… And the list might go on and on of his creations, plays which for three hundred years have given audiences so much pleasure and entertainment – and still do today. Bitter Comedy, Miklós Rónaszegi’s vie romancée, presents a lucid account of the life and times of the universally-acclaimed dramatist and of the genesis of his works.

    The life, dramatic reign, and enduring legacy of the pharaoh Ramesses the Great, with lessons for the present, from internationally acclaimed Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson 
     
    Ramesses II ruled the Nile Valley and the wider Egyptian empire from 1279 to 1213 B.C., one of the longest reigns in pharaonic history. He was a cultural innovator, a relentless self-promoter, and an astute diplomat—the peace treaty signed after the Battle of Kadesh was the first in recorded history. He outbuilt every other Egyptian pharaoh, leaving behind the temples of Abu Simbel; the great hypostyle hall of Karnak; the tomb for his wife Nefertari; and his own memorial, the Ramesseum. 
     
    His reputation eclipsed that of all other pharaohs as well: he was decried in the Bible as a despot, famed in literature as Ozymandias, and lauded by early antiquarians as the Younger Memnon. His rule coincided with the peak of ancient Egypt’s power and prosperity, the New Kingdom (1539–1069 B.C.). 
     
    In this authoritative biography, Toby Wilkinson considers Ramesses’ preoccupations and preferences, uncovering the methods and motivations of a megalomaniac ruler, with lessons for our own time.

    CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota's memoir Combat Love is her story of growing up longing for stability and attachment as the foundation of her family crumbled. Set on the Jersey Shore in the free-range 1980s, Camerota finds the belonging she craves courtesy of a local punk rock band named Shrapnel and their diehard fans. Combat Love chronicles her near-misses and misadventures at clubs like CBGB and Max's Kansas City, coupled with the sex, drugs, and punk rock of 1980s New Jersey. By the time she leaves home at sixteen, it feels like home had left her long ago. 
     
      
     
    Combat Love is also the story of two women, mother and daughter, trying to forge their own paths and independence, and find their own happiness, success, and wholeness. Camerota's story searches for the line between shelter and risk, nurture and neglect, parenting and personal freedom. What are we willing to sacrifice for self-actualization and happiness? What if the answer is your mother, or your daughter? 
     
      
     
    The two-time Emmy-award-winning Camerota retraces her steps down an often gritty path toward her dream of becoming a journalist. At times heartbreaking and pulse-pounding, Combat Love is an inspiration for anyone who's ever searched for that elusive place called home.

    A story of trauma, survival, and healing, narrated in the author’s own voice. 
    This gripping and emotional journey takes you through Demarra's triumph over the adversity of complex childhood trauma into a life rooted in joy, purpose, and love.  
    Demarra’s earliest memory of trauma came at six although the violence she witnessed at the hands of her stepfather was present long before that. By the time she was thirteen, Demarra experienced eight Adverse Childhood Experiences which nearly caused her to take her own life. Many people, including professionals positioned to help her, such as her therapist, had written her off, as she endured nearly all-consuming pain that only trauma and grief can bring.  
    More than thirty years later from that first memory of trauma, being a successful therapist and entrepreneur, and a wife and mother, Demarra realized that she too, had deep healing to do.  
    This awakening caused Demarra to start again, leaving behind everything that was familiar to her, including a loving husband of fifteen years, and moving into uncharted territory in search of herself, and all that had been lost. 
    As a therapist and holistic practitioner, Demarra offers insight for readers seeking to overcome past trauma and live abundantly in every area of their lives. But equally important, it’s for those charged to support survivors so they can begin the healing process immediately. 
    As listeners journey through the story, they are left with a resonant and hopeful promise, an assurance that, no matter who we are, and what we’ve been through, the path to healing and joy is not only possible but part of our birthright and inherently worth pursuing.

    Thousands of miles away from where her son was deployed, a powerful premonition is devastatingly confirmed by a knock on the door from two faceless strangers bearing the news that her son had stepped on an improvised explosive device in the poppy fields of Afghanistan. He had lost both of his legs and suffered multiple other injuries, including partial amputation of all the fingers of his left hand. For forty-eight days she stood at his bedside. 
     
     
     
    Not only did he survive against all odds, but in time he began to test the limits of his new capabilities and undertook the first of, what would prove to be, many physical challenges. Just eighteen months after injury, and as part of a team of four servicemen, he rowed across the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. 
     
     
     
    Told mostly from a mother's perspective with contributions from Cayle, the genesis of the book was in the diary she kept while he was in a medically induced coma. It is the story of an extraordinarily brave man who has been through the agonies of rebuilding his life, with the encouragement of family and friends. 
     
     
     
    This was never meant to be another book about war or Afghanistan; it is a message of how love and hope can overcome adversity.

    All around the world, the words "Wall Street" conjure up a powerful image. For some, it is the center of America's capitalist system and the engine of its economic growth. For others, it is the home of rapacious bankers and reckless traders whose greed would lead to a global financial crisis. For an Indian-born blackjack player, Wall Street represented something else entirely—a chance for him to play in the largest casino in the world. 
     
     
     
    Kamal Gupta's improbable journey, from a wide-eyed Indian immigrant to an ultimate insider in the rarefied world of investment banks and hedge funds, is a uniquely American story. After spending seven years creating an investment methodology, Gupta went on an incredible run, generating an unprecedented 103 consecutive months of positive returns while managing money at large hedge funds. His success did not go unnoticed, and he found himself under constant pressure to take bigger risks to make even more money. He refused and always played it right, knowing that there was such a thing as "enough" money, something very few, if any, of his Wall Street peers understood. 
     
     
     
    Much like Maria Konnikova's bestseller, The Biggest Bluff, Play It Right isn't so much about money as it is about the human condition and beating the odds, whether at a casino, on Wall Street, or in life itself.
