USA Today Bestseller: This “emotionally rich” novel of a father, a son, and a lesson in love is “pure pleasure from beginning to end” (Susan Elizabeth Phillips, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Dance Away with Me). Jesse Sienna doesn’t believe that love can last. His parents’ marriage was caring but passionless, and his own romantic history tells him that love can burn bright, but that it cannot burn for long. So when his elderly father, Mickey, moves in with him and seems unable to understand Jesse’s no-strings-attached relationship with Marina, his current girlfriend, Jesse barely pays attention. It’s just another example of how different they are—and more evidence that he and his father will never connect on any meaningful level. But the truth is, Mickey Sienna knows more about love than most people learn in a lifetime. Over half a century ago, he discovered the endless rewards of investing your heart and soul in someone . . . and he knows the devastating costs of letting the perfect someone slip by. Mickey sees Jesse taking an extraordinary woman for granted and decides it’s time to tell Jesse his story—a story he’s never shared with any of his children before. It is a tale that will change both of them profoundly. “A wry, tender, beautifully written novel. . . . Once I started, I couldn’t put it down.” —Lisa Kleypas, New York Times–bestselling author of Secrets of a Summer Night “Better than Nicholas Sparks’s best. There’s more wit, more wisdom, and yes, there are tears.” —John R. Maxim, New York Times–bestselling author of The Shadow Box “A warm, engaging story [that] is well structured and funny and keeps you turning the pages till the very end. . . . It may even make you rethink your own attitude toward love.” —Suzanne Vega, multiplatinum recording artistZum Buch
A haunting and deeply philosophical short story, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a powerful meditation on despair, redemption, and the transformative power of love. In this profound and visionary narrative, Dostoyevsky distills his enduring spiritual and existential concerns into a compact yet emotionally resonant tale. The story follows an unnamed narrator who considers himself absurd and meaningless in a world he believes to be indifferent and corrupt. Isolated and consumed by hopelessness, he resolves to end his life. Yet on the night he plans to carry out his decision, a vivid and extraordinary dream interrupts his final act. In his dream, he journeys to a distant, unspoiled world—a paradise untouched by deceit, pride, or cruelty. There, humanity lives in harmony, guided by innocence and mutual love. However, through his own presence and influence, this idyllic society gradually falls into corruption and division. What begins as purity transforms into suffering, greed, and alienation, mirroring the flaws of the world he once despised. Through this dreamlike allegory, Dostoyevsky explores themes of moral responsibility, free will, human frailty, and the possibility of spiritual renewal. The narrator's revelation leads him to a profound understanding: that love, compassion, and humility are the keys to healing a broken world. What was once a life defined by cynicism becomes one devoted to spreading hope and truth. Blending psychological depth with spiritual insight, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man offers a timeless reflection on the human condition. Both intimate and universal, this philosophical tale challenges readers to reconsider despair and to recognize the redemptive power that lies within every heart.Zum Buch
