Beschreibung

One of Ours is a 1922 novel by Willa Cather that won the 1923 Pulitzer Prize for the Novel. It tells the story of the life of Claude Wheeler, a Nebraska native in the first decades of the 20th century. The son of a successful farmer and an intensely pious mother, he is guaranteed a comfortable livelihood. Nevertheless, Wheeler views himself as a victim of his father's success and his own inexplicable malaise.

Willa Sibert Cather born Wilella Sibert Cather (December 7, 1873 – April 24, 1947) was an American writer known for her novels of life on the Great Plains, including O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, and My Ántonia. In 1923, she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for One of Ours, a novel set during World War I.

    Prequel to the Elioud Legacy series 
    In the end, you don’t need a hero in the field. You need a team. 
    A year after high-risk missions to stop terrorists, arms dealers, and criminals, CIA officer Olivia Markham no longer operates in the field. Instead, she runs a clinic for immigrants in a backwater Balkans capital. Olivia has also found a modicum of peace—and someone to love. Her career trajectory? A safe desk job at Langley. 
    Until the day terrorists attack the clinic, upending Olivia’s world and sending her back into active fieldwork. 
    Olivia, whose protective instincts often collide with her duty, now finds herself once again walking a tightrope between pursuing Agency operations and her own. When Captain Alžběta Czerná of Czech military intelligence calls for help to free a young trafficking victim, Olivia convinces Anastasia Fiore of Italian foreign intelligence to join their unsanctioned mission. 
    But Olivia has made more than one enemy during her short career—inside and outside of the Agency. Shocking allegations rocket her to the top of the CIA’s most wanted list just when a terrorist targets her. And more than her career is at stake. Much more. As Olivia sets out on what could be her final mission, Stasia and Beta initiate their own operational protocol for their friend. 
    Set a year before THE ELIOUD LEGACY series, THE GUARDIAN INITIATIVE tells the story of how Olivia Markham, Beta Czerná, and Stasia Fiore team up to aid the victims of their intelligence targets—regardless of the consequences.

    What if the greatest risk in love isn’t rejection… but being truly seen? In "Mr. and Mrs. Dove", masterfully written by Katherine Mansfield, a simple marriage proposal becomes a delicate psychological dance of fear, pride, and unspoken longing. Reggie, painfully shy and uncertain, has one last chance to confess his feelings before leaving England for good. Anne is poised, admired, and emotionally guarded - a woman who questions whether love must mean surrender. Between them flutter two doves, symbols of devotion… or quiet submission. As tension lingers beneath polite conversation, Katherine Mansfield reveals the fragile power balance hidden inside romance itself. Who leads? Who follows? And what does it truly mean to belong to someone? Elegant, intimate and emotionally piercing, this story captures the trembling moment where hope and vulnerability collide. Press play now and step into a world where every silence speaks - and every heartbeat carries the weight of a life-changing choice.
