Sinopse

Spending Time with an Angel is a diary in which Paul Lazor documents all stages of his wife, Julie, during her battle against leukaemia. We can clearly see how love, sorrow, and resiliency play an integral role in their lives throughout the book. It portrays a life filled with routine activities and common aspirations, as well as the warmth and humour in the family and the couple’s exchanges that highlight their close friendship from the outset. As symptoms emerged, his wife’s gradual decline was accompanied by struggles with worry and confusion. As the course of therapy goes on, the diary entries get increasingly melancholy, and along with Julie’s hardships, the emotional agony is ever-present.This story depicts the emotional ups and downs of chronic disease through contrasting moments of hope and despair.Readers will learn more about the intricacies of love during trying times by reading this diary. The book reflects a difficult journey, portraying a heartbreaking situation through the eyes of a man remembering his wife.Paul Lazor, born Pawlo Lazor in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England, in 1955, is the son of refugees who came from Eastern Europe after the end of the Second World War. I transferred to a grammar school at the age of 16 and eventually to the University of Birmingham, where I studied Science. I graduated in 1976 and embarked upon a career in the Sale of scientific instruments to Industry. I travelled to Eastern Europe and Russia, encountering the Secret Police and Donald Maclean, the infamous spy.After my first marriage came to a tragic end, I met Julie in 1990, who became my wife and Angel in the story. In 2001, Julie was diagnosed with leukaemia, and she passed away in 2005. In 2014, after a period of calm and tranquillity in my life, I decided to start a new life in Spain. After retiring in 2022 and learning to speak Spanish to a reasonable standard, I am now teaching Spanish as an enjoyable hobby to expats from England.

Fifteen-year-old Mattie Lee Watson dreams of men, not boys. So when James T. Cullowee, the Kudzu King, arrives in Cooper County, North Carolina, in 1941 to spread the gospel of kudzu—claiming that it will improve the soil, feed cattle at almost no cost, even cure headaches—Mattie is ready. Mr. Cullowee is determined to sell the entire county on the future of kudzu, and organizes a kudzu festival, complete with a beauty pageant. Mattie is determined to be crowned Kudzu Queen and capture the attentions of the Kudzu King. As she learns more about Cullowee, however, she discovers that he, like the kudzu he promotes, has a dark and predatory side. When she finds she is not the only one threatened, she devises a plan to bring him down. Based on historical facts, The Kudzu Queen unravels a tangle of sexuality, power, race, and kudzu through the voice of an irresistibly delightful (and mostly honest) narrator.

Mind you, it is only a step, for Elb is not planning to stop. His aim is to discover the secrets of this world and understand why he was created. 
 
 
 
Memories. They are coming back to our hero more frequently now, with snatches of his past life, but so far with no answers to his questions. Yet come what may, Elb will get his answers, and he will go to any lengths to achieve his aim. And those who stand in his way will drown in their own blood.

The flame of consciousness burns within us all, but for Heat Agaki, that flame has always been an intense inferno. Restless and filled with smoldering nihilism, Heat’s mind seems ablaze, her words steeped in napalm, her tongue the lighter always at the ready. 
But Heat’s desire goes beyond simply lighting her high school and mother on fire; she dreams of turning the entire world into cinders, starting with those she feels deserve to burn. She becomes a firebrand, determined to awaken her decaying city to her truth. 
As a mad-eyed detective pursues her and an erratic classmate whispers unsettling ideas, Heat embarks on a dark journey to understand the spiraling depths of her innermost workings. Can fire draw a line between right and wrong? Good and evil? And does Heat have the right to make such life-altering decisions? 
Nestled deep in the human psyche, FLICKER disturbs that shuddering mountain of ashes we would have all rather left to its slumber; and to that eternally recurring ideal that from the grey unfurls its vermillion wings, it asks: 
What does it mean, to become what you are?

"Northanger Abbey" is a satirical novel that tells the story of Catherine Morland, a young, naïve girl who is taken to Bath by family friends for a season of socializing and romance. Catherine is a great reader of gothic novels, which often lead her to imagine plots and intrigues where there are none. At Bath, Catherine meets the charming Henry Tilney and his sister Eleanor, who introduce her to their family estate, Northanger Abbey. Catherine becomes infatuated with Henry and begins to imagine that his family is hiding secrets and mysteries, much like the gothic novels she loves to read. She begins to explore the Abbey with this in mind, but her fantasies soon come crashing down when she discovers that there is no hidden intrigue at Northanger Abbey. Read in English, unabridged.
