A Murderer's Secrets - The True Story of a Man Who Killed for Loneliness

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

In the quiet solitude of his existence, a lonely man embarked on a chilling odyssey of violence, leaving a trail of shattered lives in his wake. This is the story of a serial killer driven by an insatiable need for companionship, a man who sought solace in the act of taking life.

Based on the personal journals and interviews with those who knew him, this book delves into the mind of a murderer, exploring the motivations and actions that led him down a dark and twisted path. It is a journey into the darkest recesses of the human psyche, a place where empathy and compassion give way to violence and depravity.

As we piece together the puzzle of his crimes, we are forced to confront the unsettling truth that such individuals are not always monsters. They may be our neighbors, our coworkers, or even our friends. They may seem ordinary and unassuming, but beneath the surface, a dark secret lurks, waiting to be unleashed.

This book is a chilling reminder of the fragility of our own existence. It is a story that forces us to question our assumptions about good and evil, and to confront the darkness that lies within us all. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading the final page.

But it is also a story of resilience, of the strength of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable horror. It is a testament to the power of hope, even in the darkest of times. As we follow the investigation and trial of this killer, we witness the unwavering determination of those who sought justice for his victims and closure for their families.

This book is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the human capacity for violence and the resilience of the human spirit. It is a story that will leave you shaken, but also inspired, a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading the final page.

Dear Oliver - An Unexpected...

Susan R. Barry

To the world, he was Dr. Sacks, the brilliant neurologist behind bestselling books like Musicophilia and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. To professor Susan Barry, he became Dear Oliver—her mentor, friend, and confidant over the course of their ten-year correspondence. 
 
 
 
It begins with a letter that Sue almost doesn't send. Sue's unheard-of case history—as a "stereoblind" patient who acquired 3D vision in adulthood—so fascinates Dr. Sacks that he immediately asks to visit her. As "Stereo Sue," she becomes the subject of one of his indelible New Yorker pieces—and, as a fellow neuroscientist, his sounding board for every kind of intellectual inquiry. 
 
 
 
Their shared passions spark a friendship that buoys both of them through life's crests and falls: as Sue becomes an author, as she supports her father in his decline, and as Oliver becomes a patient himself—battling cancer that robs him of his own vision. 
 
 
 
Dr. Sacks's letters to Sue offer listeners an unprecedented glimpse of the man himself—from his compassion and insight to his love of the periodic table. Throughout Dear Oliver, we are reminded that true friends help each other see the world a little differently.

The Best Peace Fiction - A...

Robert Olen Butler, Phong Nguyen

In the first anthology of its kind, Robert Olen Butler and Phong Nguyen assemble an astounding collection of stories that cause listeners to contemplate war, peace, and social justice in a new light. The fourteen stories featured in this volume explore the varied and often unexpected outcomes of violence. The authors explore the tragedies that occur closer to home—not on military battlefields but rather in places that are never meant to be battlefields, like schools and churches. The fiction reveals the violence that renders our most sacred and seemingly safest of places vulnerable. 
 
 
 
Not a utopian project, this book asks whether literature has a role in furthering the ongoing pursuit of peace and justice for all. While exploring tragedy, these stories also offer hope for healing, illuminating how people can move forward from the moments when their lives change and how they can regain and reshape safe spaces to find solace.

But you are in France Madame -...

Catherine P M Berry

At the collège for a parent-teacher interview, I met my daughter outside in the courtyard and she showed me up to her classroom. Her teacher was busy chatting, so we waited patiently in the corridor. When he did come out, he indicated that the meeting would take place downstairs and headed off with us in tow. Before sitting down, I introduced myself using my first name, and put out my hand to be shaken. He mumbled back his full name as he took my hand, although I suspect he would have been shocked if I had actually dared use it. By this stage, I had already understood that teachers did not expect to be questioned about their practices. Of course, I did—question him, that is; politely and almost deferentially. There was a slight pause, as he dipped his head to better digest what he had heard. Then, with the assurance of a perfect, unarguable answer, he replied, “But you are in France, Madame”. Some months before, my husband, three children and I had casually unzipped and discarded our comfortable Australian lifestyle and slipped on life in the country of haute couture. On arrival, there was no celebrity designer waiting for us, ready to pin and fit our new life to us; so we threw it on and wore it loosely, tightly, uncomfortably, any old how—until we learned for ourselves how to trim, hem and stitch à la française. This book is testament to the joyous, but not always easy, journey that we took along the way.
Our story But you are in France, Madame was written from the heart. If you love France, reading about France, are curious about the lives of others or are planning your own trip to France, then this might just be the book for you.

Jack London - Six of the Best -...

Jack London

Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
 
Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
 
In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
 
These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

2 - Jack London - An Introduction 
3 - An Odyssey of the North by Jack London 
4 - To Build a Fire by Jack London
