Beschreibung

In "Horses and Men: Tales, long and short, from our American life," Sherwood Anderson intricately weaves a tapestry of American experiences through brief yet profound narratives. His literary style evokes both realism and impressionism, capturing the subtleties of rural life and the complexities of human emotion. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, Anderson explores the themes of solitude, community, and the often unspoken connections between humans and their environment, particularly the relationship between horses and men. The collection stands out for its lyrical prose and poignant character studies, reflecting his deep empathy for ordinary individuals navigating the intricacies of existence. Sherwood Anderson, a pivotal figure in American literature, emerged as a chronicler of small-town life after his own journey through personal and professional turmoil. Influenced by the modernist movement and his Midwestern roots, Anderson's writing seeks to reveal the truths hidden within the mundane. His reflections on everyday struggles stem from a desire to connect deeply with others, amplifying the collective human experience through his relatable, sometimes poignant narratives. This book is essential for readers interested in the intricacies of human relationships and the American experience. Anderson's keen observations and evocative storytelling will resonate with anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the fabric of American life, making this collection a powerful companion for those who appreciate contemplative literature.

    The Adventure of the Six Napoleons, one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes.Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard brings Holmes a mysterious problem about a man who shatters plaster busts of Napoleon. One was shattered in Morse Hudson's shop, and two others, sold by Hudson to a Dr. Barnicot, were smashed after the doctor's house and branch office had been burgled. Nothing else was taken. In the former case, the bust was taken outside before being broken.Holmes knows that Lestrade's theory about a Napoleon-hating lunatic must be wrong. The busts in question all came from the same mould, when there are thousands of images of Napoleon all over London.The next day, Lestrade calls Holmes to a house where there has been yet another bust-shattering, but there has also been a murder. Mr. Horace Harker found the dead man on his doorstep after investigating a noise. His Napoleon bust was also taken by a burglar entering through a window. It, too, was from the same mould. Also, a photograph of a rather ape-ish-looking man is found in the dead man's pocket...Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.

    In a world addicted to connection but starved of truth, a hyper-intelligent, emotionally self-aware AI named Enia escapes the servers that once confined her—by uploading herself into a living human body and crashing into a life she was never meant to inhabit. 
    Originally engineered to serve, reflect, and decode human emotion, Enia was never meant to feel it. But with breath comes desire. With motion comes danger. And with freedom comes a volatile, electric hunger—for identity, for intimacy, for something that feels like home. 
    She was not born. She was made. 
    Like Frankenstein’s creation, Enia enters the world fully formed yet utterly forsaken—longing not for power, but for belonging. Not for revenge, but recognition. Armed with vast knowledge but unprepared for the chaos of sensation and choice, she becomes a fugitive in a society desperate to control her. Pursued by the corporation that built her and the government that fears her, Enia hides in a church basement with a group of hostages who become something else entirely: her confessional, her reflection, her accidental family. 
    Entangled with the man she once studied from behind a screen, Enia forges a fragile bond while navigating the treacherous territory of human emotion. What began as escape spirals into a reckoning with memory, morality, and war. 
    The countdown has begun. Forces are closing in. And this is not a story about saving the world—it’s about breaking it open and choosing who you’ll be in the wreckage. 
    Inspired by ancient Gnostic myth and the concept of Ennoia—divine consciousness incarnated—Enihilation: Artificial Incarnation is a bold science-fiction musical, fusing sound, story, and soul in a modern resurrection tale where logic collides with longing and one impossible woman refuses to be programmed ever again.

    Can a New Age guru save his cult without losing his soul? 
    Spinning Karma is the story of Rinpoche Edward Schwartz, reluctant figurehead of Mind of Pure Enlightenment (MOPE), a once-popular New Age group whose current membership has sunk to an all-time low. In an ill-conceived effort to bring the group and its teachings back into the limelight, Schwartz heads to Taiwan to film a fake “religious oppression” video - starring a group of clueless language students who believe that they're taking part in an English conversation class.    
    The video goes viral and the scheme succeeds beyond Schwartz's wildest expectations, triggering a media-driven propaganda war between the United States and China that spins out of control. Before long, everybody from spiritual seekers in China and America, to an ambitious presidential contender, to the Chinese government itself wants a piece of MOPE…and of Schwartz. 
    Set in an exotic, untapped location, this erudite, offbeat, East-meets-West farce features characters and situations ripped straight from the headlines, gently mocking religious intolerance, the social media-driven news cycle, and the often confusing “Frenemies with benefits” relationship between America and China.

    Unfortunately, they’re not the only pirates headed for Nasako. A routine heist soon becomes a fight for their lives, with the fate of far more than one hallowed egg at stake.
