Sinopse

A fishing village at the end of the world. A lake that is drying up and, ominously, pushing out its banks. The men have vodka, the women troubles, the children eczema to scratch at. Born into this unforgiving environment, Nami, a young boy, embarks on a journey with nothing but a bundle of nerves, a coat that was once his grandfather's and the vague idea of searching for his mother, who disappeared from his life at a young age. To uncover the greatest mystery of his life, he must sail across and walk around the lake and finally dive to its bottom.


The Lake is a raw account of life in a devastated land and the harsh, primitive circumstances under which people fight to survive.

    The Three Doctors—Drs. Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, and Rameck Hunt—discovered early in their friendship that they shared one disturbing trait: as children, they had to navigate life in inner-city Newark without a father's support and guidance. While each young man dealt with the turmoil caused by an absent father, with no male role model to turn to for advice, each veered dangerously close to a life of delinquency, drugs, and crime. But despite great odds, the three overcame the statistics. In high school, they formed the Pact, a promise to one another that they would become doctors, and it kept them dedicated to one another and to their dream and helped to put them on the road to successful careers as physicians.  
     
    In The Bond, the Three Doctors plumb their own tough childhoods to explore the national epidemic of fatherlessness. But rather than cling to any bitterness or pain they may have felt as children about their fathers' inability to be in their lives, as adults Davis, Jenkins, and Hunt sought out their fathers and worked to reconnect with them. In the doctors' own words—and their fathers'—they describe the crucial lessons they learned, identifying ways to stem the tide of fatherlessness that's sweeping through communities across the country. Honest, brave, and poignant, The Bond is a book for every family, every father, and every man.

    The last of Lovecraft's youthful tales saved by its creator.For the first time, a cursed lineage appears – a motif quite frequent in Lovecraft, borrowed from Poe. It is also the writer's first approach to Gothic poetics in prose."The Alchemist" was a "validation" of Lovecraft's literary skills in the United Amateur Press Association, i.e., a literary text based on which the author's writing predispositions were assessed and a decision was made about whether to accept him into the said association or reject his candidacy.It is also worth emphasizing that this is the first fictional work by Lovecraft to be published in print.

    To save the world from destruction, a young woman of extraordinary power must join a brotherhood of ancient vampires in this paranormal romantic thriller. 
     
    In ancient Egypt, Tentyris was a flourishing city of powerful, secretive inhabitants. Ruled by the Council of the Zodiac, they lived peacefully alongside humanity. Yet today, the Tentyrians are nearly forgotten. Remnants of their memory survive only as folklore about vampires and astrology. But now a young woman named Arianna Parker is about to discover just how real that folklore is. 
     
    Growing up with telepathic powers, Arianna always knew she was different. Then she meets Maximos Vasilliadis. A Tentyrian vampire more than two thousand years old, he believes Arianna is a descendent of his kind. And he believes she is destined to save the world from catastrophic destruction. 
     
    Now, with her 25th birthday approaching, Arianna finds herself caught between warring vampires. To save the world, herself, and the Tentyrian legacy, she must learn to trust Maximos—and her heart.
