Synopsis

«Random Friends» a novel about two dwellers in a big city. Yumi, beautiful young woman architect. Once she met up with an office clerk name Daichi, their friendship revealed a deeper mystery. You'll find answers to unasked questions. Two dreamed of many, but felt lost at thirty. Why they looking for oblivion to numb their yearnings, drowning longing, cynically trampling an own portrait from charming youth? Yumi has led a shadowy life, having been a solo parkour tracer. She had drawn attention by being caught on CCTV and the footage went straight to the Osaka News channel. Her face was hooded, dressed pretty unusual, an oversized jacket, backpack, earphones over the hood, and two pigtails that sometimes slipped out. Her tough, obscure style immediately makes her popular, but she didn't wish so. Yumi has crossed the barrier, where the past has been thrown into the dustbin, but the future is yet to come. Two spare time together, having dinner, drinking a lot, musing on the ideas of Julius Evola. Their tricky humour was off the charts and friendship revealed deep secrets, but could they stay together despite the blows of fate?
Here's to more cheerful moments and bright days! I wonder why you're here, cause it's not like anyone reads my books. You're interested in my literature, aren't you? But my novellas are for the poor. Me too was avoiding the downpour and dozing under the bridge. I've been dispirited and shed tears, but I don't hold anyone accountable, because there is no one, and nothing at all. You wouldn't believe me though. Nevermind, I forgive you and granting access to read my books as complement.

Blood and Germs - The Civil War...

Gail Jarrow

Acclaimed nonfiction writer and Sibert Honor winner Gail Jarrow begins her new series on medical fiascoes with an in-depth look at the bloodiest conflict in U.S. history. The Civil War took the lives of more than 600,000 men. Bullet wounds  
were deadly, but twice as many soldiers died from disease—pneumonia, diarrhea, typhoid fever, measles, and smallpox. Tens of thousands who survived the war were permanently disabled or disfigured. Yet out of this tragedy came medical  
progress. Doctors and nurses gained valuable experience treating the injured and sick. Military and medical officials recognized that proper sanitation in camps and hospitals could save lives. Improvements to the ambulance service and hospital  
system lowered the fatality rate. An expert at blending science and history, Jarrow relies heavily on primary documents—first-person accounts and medical case studies—to reveal the true stories behind the battle against wounds and disease.
