Sinopse

Robert Williams Buchanan's 'The New Abelard' is a thought-provoking novel that revolves around the theme of forbidden love and societal norms. Set in the Victorian era, Buchanan's literary style combines elements of romanticism with social commentary, creating a rich and unconventional narrative. The book challenges the restrictions imposed by society on love and relationships, drawing parallels to the real-life struggles faced by the author himself. Robert Williams Buchanan, a prolific writer and poet of the 19th century, was known for his controversial views on morality and religion. 'The New Abelard' reflects Buchanan's personal experiences and beliefs, making it a deeply introspective and poignant work. The author's background as a social reformer and advocate for artistic freedom adds depth to the novel's narrative, shedding light on the societal injustices prevalent during that time period. I highly recommend 'The New Abelard' to readers interested in exploring themes of love, morality, and societal norms in Victorian literature. Buchanan's eloquent prose and profound insights make this novel a valuable addition to any literary collection, offering a glimpse into the complexities of human emotions and societal pressures.

    "We think we know the ones we love." So Pearlie Cook begins her indirect and devastating exploration of the mystery at the heart of every relationship: how we can ever truly know another person.  
    It is 1953 and Pearlie, a dutiful young housewife, finds herself living in the Sunset District in San Francisco, caring not only for her husband's fragile health but also for her son, who is afflicted with polio. Then, one Saturday morning, a stranger appears on her doorstep, and everything changes. All the certainties by which Pearlie has lived and tried to protect her family are thrown into doubt. Does she know her husband at all? And what does the stranger want in return for his offer of a hundred thousand dollars? For six months in 1953 young Pearlie Cook struggles to understand the world around her, and most especially her husband, Holland.  
    Pearlie's story is a meditation not only on love but also on the effects of war, with one war recently over and another coming to a close. Set in a climate of fear and repression—political, sexual, and racial—The Story of a Marriage from bestselling author Andrew Sean Greer, portrays three people trapped by the confines of their era, and the desperate measures they are prepared to take to escape it. Lyrical and surprising, The Story of a Marriage looks back at a period that we tend to misremember as one of innocence and simplicity.A Macmillan Audio production.

    In a World where the Alpha are the law, Beta the order, and Omega the knowledge…the Delta have become the oppressed. 
    The night of Samhain is fast approaching, and for that one night a year, Gray and the last remaining Dire Wolves—amongst others—are entrusted with the protection of the veil between worlds, while it’s at its thinnest. Add in the threat of a new drug on the market, and they’ll have to work twice as hard to keep everyone safe. The last thing he needs is a sexy little Delta to save. 
    As a lowly Delta, Red Wolf shifter Ryan has never known peace. Cast away and unwanted, he is quickly taken captive and trained as a dancer at The Howling, a strip club in the worst part of Praeter. Hungry, abused, and kept in a drug-induced fog, his life is nothing. He is nothing but the orders and twisted demands of his captor. All that changes when he catches the scent of a wolf in the crowd. 
    Long ebony hair, eyes that can’t decide if they’re green or blue as they follow him on stage. Unable to stop himself, Ryan does the one thing guaranteed to earn him punishment. He touches the other wolf. Peace. For those few brief moments, the hunger, the pain, the torment…all gone. The price to feel that respite again, though, could very well be his life.
