Synopsis

In "The Sealed Angel," Nikolai Leskov weaves a poignant narrative steeped in Russian Orthodox themes, exploring the intersections of faith, society, and the human condition. The story unfolds around a humble village's encounter with a miraculous icon, unveiling the intricate moral dilemmas faced by its inhabitants. Leskov's prose is imbued with rich, vivid imagery and regional dialects, reflecting the cultural fabric of 19th-century Russia. The novella, resonating with the literary realism of the time, delves into the complexities of belief and the impact of the divine on everyday life, drawing comparisons to the works of his contemporaries while maintaining a distinctive voice that is both lyrical and compelling. Nikolai Leskov, a writer influenced by his varied life experiences—from being a provincial government official to an industrious observer of Russian society—imbued his works with the wisdom of the common folk and a deep understanding of culture. His unique perspective on spirituality, drawn from a society grappling with modernization and tradition, profoundly shaped his narrative style, allowing him to confront profound themes with an approachable, engaging flair. For readers seeking an evocative exploration of faith and morality against the backdrop of Russian culture, "The Sealed Angel" is an indispensable addition to the literary canon. Leskov's masterful storytelling and his ability to evoke empathy through relatable characters make this novella a timeless reflection on the search for meaning amidst the ordinary.

    Campbell gives voice to the extraordinary (never ordinary) men and women of Manchester. He goes beyond the King's English and formulaic approaches to short stories to capture, in print, how people really talk. Think James Kelman, Irvine Welsh, but Mancunian. Funny and heartfelt, this book is a romp to whizz through with pleasure. Forget mad for it Madchester, this is the Manchester of now, where Hacienda clichés turn into corporate nightmares and the only art is in marketing.

    Around the World in Eighty Days (French: Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours) is an adventure novel by the French writer Jules Verne, first published in French in 1872. In the story, Phileas Fogg of London and his newly employed French valet Passepartout attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days on a £20,000 wager (£2,242,900 in 2019) set by his friends at the Reform Club. It is one of Verne's most acclaimed works.
    The story starts in London on Wednesday, 2 October 1872. Phileas Fogg is a rich British gentleman living in solitude. Despite his wealth, Fogg lives a modest life with habits carried out with mathematical precision. Very little can be said about his social life other than that he is a member of the Reform Club, where he spends much of every day. Having dismissed his former valet, James Forster, for bringing him shaving water at 84 °F (29 °C) instead of 86 °F (30 °C), Fogg hires Frenchman Jean Passepartout as a replacement.

    When she walked through the door to his office, Jake knew trouble was on the horizon. He would be proven right. 
    Their secret love affair lasted more than two years. They fell madly in love, but there was a problem. Matti was married—to someone else. 
    Their relationship ended abruptly when she left in the middle of the night without a word, for parts unknown. They remained separated by life’s circumstances for eighteen years. 
    This story is about a flame that neither time nor 3,000 miles could extinguish. Jake and Matti found happiness despite the odds. It tells of the collateral damage created along the way, how they made new friends in a distant state, brought together five generations, melded families, healed old wounds, and welcomed a newborn while Jake delivered a pitch during what some consider “The Greatest Softball Game.”
