Sinopsis

Embark on a literary journey through the profound works of the esteemed German novelist Thomas Mann. This anthology, a tribute to Mann's literary genius and winner of the 1929 Nobel Prize in Literature, offers a captivating exploration of the human psyche, artistically woven into epic novels and thought-provoking novellas.
Table of Contents:
"Buddenbrooks" – Witness the intricacies of a wealthy North German merchant family's decline across four generations, providing a poignant portrayal of life and customs among the Hanseatic bourgeoisie from 1835 to 1877.
"Royal Highness" – Set around the turn of the 20th century in the fictional German state of Grimmburg, this narrative unfolds against a backdrop of economic decline and high public debt. Minister Trümmerhauff, Dr. Krippenreuther, and Knobelsdorff strive to navigate a landscape characterized by unprofitable railroads, exhausted mines, and the limitations of the healing Ditlinden spring.
"Tonio Kröger" – Explore the complex identity of Tonio, the son of a North German merchant and a "Southern" mother with artistic talents. Inheriting qualities from both sides, Tonio grapples with feelings of superiority over the bourgeois people around him while harboring envy for their innocent vitality. As Tonio matures into a renowned writer, his internal conflict intensifies.
"Death in Venice" – Journey with an ennobled writer as he visits Venice, experiencing liberation, elevation, and an increasing obsession ignited by the sight of a beautiful Polish boy named Tadzio. The novella delves into themes of desire, aesthetics, and the transformative power of beauty.
"Bashan and I" – Immerse yourself in a heartfelt story of companionship between a man and his dog, Bashan. The narrative unfolds through their shared adventures on walks through meadows and woods in Bavaria, providing a poignant exploration of the bond between man and his loyal canine companion.

    What if your love story ended not in romance—but in murder? 
    The Kreutzer Sonata is Leo Tolstoy’s explosive confession of a man undone by love. On a quiet train ride, a fellow passenger shares the dark tale of his marriage—one that spiraled from desire into mistrust, jealousy, and eventually, an unthinkable crime. 
    In this modern translation, Tolstoy’s intense meditation on passion, marriage, and morality is presented with emotional depth and gripping clarity. A powerful short novel that holds nothing back. 
    What You’ll Hear in This Adaptation: 
    - A deeply personal, psychological descent into obsessive jealousy and regret 
    - A bold critique of love, marriage, and sexual hypocrisy 
    - A modern, emotionally intense rendition of Tolstoy’s rawest novella 
    - A tale of moral struggle that asks: Can love survive truth? 
    Short in length but epic in its emotional and ethical impact, The Kreutzer Sonata will challenge what you think you know about love.

    This program is read by the author with a special appearance from his mom.An intimate and light-hearted memoir by viral sensation and three-time Emmy-nominated musical comedian Randy Rainbow that takes readers through his life—the highs, the lows, the lipstick, the pink glasses, and the show tunes.Randy Rainbow, the man who conquered the Internet with a stylish pair of pink glasses, an inexhaustible knowledge of Broadway musicals, and the most gimlet-eyed view of American politics this side of Mark Twain finally tells all in Playing with Myself, a memoir sure to cause more than a few readers to begin singing one of his greatest hits like “A Spoonful of Clorox” or “Cover Your Freakin’ Face.”As Randy has said, “There’s so much fake news out there about me. I can’t wait to set the record straight and finally give people a peek behind the green screen.” And set the record straight he does. Playing with Myself is a first-hand account of the journey that led Randy Rainbow from his childhood as the over-imaginative, often misunderstood little boy who carried a purse in the second grade to his first job on Broadway as the host at Hooters and on to the creation of his trademark comedy character. In chapters titled “Pajama Bottoms” (a look back at the days when he wore pajama bottoms on his head to pretend he was Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz), “Yes, It’s My Real Name, Shut Up!” (no explanation necessary...) and “Pink Glasses” (a rose-colored homage to his favorite accessory), Playing with Myself is a memoir that answers the question “Can an introverted musical theatre nerd with a MacBook and a dream save the world, one show tune at a time?”A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press.

    A heart-warming and hilarious family memoir of growing up as one of eleven siblings raised by a single dad in Northern Ireland at the end of the Troubles. Séamas O’Reilly’s mother died when he was five, leaving him, his ten (!) brothers and sisters, and their beloved father in their sprawling bungalow in rural Derry. It was the 1990s; the Troubles were a background rumble, but Séamas was more preoccupied with dinosaurs, Star Wars, and the actual location of heaven than the political climate. ­  An instant bestseller in Ireland, Did Ye Hear Mammy Died? is a book about a family of loud, argumentative, musical, sarcastic, grief-stricken siblings, shepherded into adulthood by a man whose foibles and reticence were matched only by his love for his children and his determination that they would flourish.  “In this joyous, wildly unconventional memoir, Séamas O'Reilly tells the story of losing his mother as a child and growing up with ten siblings in Northern Ireland during the final years of the Troubles as a raucous comedy, a grand caper that is absolutely bursting with life.”―Patrick Radden Keefe, NYT bestselling author of Say Nothing and Empire of Pain One of NPR’s Best Books of the Year

    Backroads of Paradise - A...

    In the 1930s, the Federal Writers' Project sent mostly anonymous writers into the depths of Florida to reveal its splendor to the world. The FWP and the State of Florida jointly published the results as Florida: A Guide to the Southernmost State, which included twenty-two driving tours of the state's main roads. Retracing the original routes in the Guide, Cathy Salustri rekindles our notions of paradise by bringing a modern eye to the historic travelogues. 
     
     
     
    Salustri's 5,000-mile road trip reveals a patchwork quilt of Florida cultures. The journey begins on US 98, heading west toward the Florida/Alabama state line, where coastal towns dot the roadway. Along US 17, she stops at Florida's oldest diner and visits a collection of springs interconnected by underwater mazes tumbling through white spongy limestone, before stopping in Arcadia, where men still bring cattle to auction. 
     
     
     
    Woven through these journeys are nuggets of history, environmental debates about Florida's future, and a narrative that combines humor with a strong affection for an oft-maligned state. 
     
     
     
    Today, Salustri urges, tourists need a new nudge to get off the interstates or away from Disney in order to discover the real Florida.
