Die Manipulatorin Ich kann die Emotionen von jedem manipulieren, der es zulässt. Ich werde dich verletzen, dich weinen lassen, dich zum Lachen und Seufzen bringen.

The Quantum Diaries of Adeline Cross

Autor: Katherine Navarro

Número de Páginas: 202

In the hushed solitude of Faraday Institute, brilliant physicist Adeline Cross pushes the boundaries of quantum entanglement. Her journals, filled with complex equations and intimate reflections, chronicle a relentless pursuit of knowledge and a descent into an unsettling isolation. But Adeline's groundbreaking experiment yields a result far beyond expectation: contact not with entangled particles, but with echoes of herself across the multiverse. Suddenly, Adeline converses with versions of herself who've made different choices, lived alternate lives. The thrill of discovery quickly gives way to unease as discrepancies emerge. One Adeline remembers a childhood she never had. Another paints a disturbing picture of Timothy, Adeline’s closest colleague, as a figure shrouded in darkness. As the lines between realities blur, the laboratory becomes a claustrophobic reflection of Adeline's fracturing mind. Her once-meticulous journals devolve into fragmented pronouncements, each entry a desperate grasp at a reality slipping away. Meanwhile, Timothy, grounded in his pragmatic skepticism, witnesses Adeline's unsettling transformation. His concern escalates as he uncovers inconsistencies ...

Among the rumors it is said that Jones will grant a single wish to the lost and ambitious in exchange for his mark on their arm. To find Davy Jones and harness his power, two wealthy siblings, born as equal heirs to the Wellerman Trading Company, coerce a young captain to take them to Jones’s famous ghost ship, the Flying Dutchman. However, the captain’s ship, the Billy O’Tea, is a vessel where shadows come to life and secrets are dividing the small crew. After a thousand years of imprisonment in Davy Jones’s locker, the iron chains restraining Leviathan have rusted and broken. The monster is free.

Adeline

Autor: Norah Vincent

Número de Páginas: 263

On 18 April 1941, twenty-two days after Virginia Woolf went for a walk near her weekend house in Sussex and never returned, her body was reclaimed from the River Ouse. Norah Vincent's ADELINE reimagines the events that brought Woolf to the riverbank, offering us a denouement worthy of its protagonist. With poetic precision and psychological acuity, Vincent channels Virginia and Leonard Woolf, T. S. and Vivienne Eliot, Lytton Strachey and Dora Carrington, laying bare their genius and their blind spots, their achievements and their failings, from the inside out. And haunting every page is Adeline, the name given to Virginia Stephen at birth, which becomes the source of Virginia's greatest consolation, and her greatest torment. Intellectually and emotionally disarming, ADELINE - a vibrant portrait of Woolf and her social circle, the infamous Bloomsbury Group, and a window into the darkness that both inspired and doomed them all - is a masterpiece in its own right by one of our most brilliant and daring writers.

So, my journey began with a list of what to bring, how much to bring, and who to tell, which ended up to be no one. Other than food and clothing and the normal things, I would bring my books, my music, and a nice new journal--one that I would use to chronicle the adventures I planned to have throughout the seasons of the coming year. I would fill it with memories and stories and words intended to be read by my family, particularly after I'm gone. Words that would remind them of the beauty and preciousness of life. Words that would remind them of what's important and what is not. This was my plan and I could hardly wait to get started. At eighty-seven years old, Adeline is determined to leave the comfort and complacency of her assisted living center and set out on one last adventure. She heads to the lake house, where her family spent so many summers, with the goal of living out the year there. The memories of her past seem to haunt her at every turn, unfolding in vivid detail as she recalls the people and events that shaped her life. Adeline steadily prepares for her final journey and struggles to find peace as the true strength and beauty of her heart is revealed. 'A story...

Sentimental Memorials

Autor: Melissa Sodeman

Número de Páginas: 199

During the later eighteenth century, changes in the meaning and status of literature left popular sentimental novels stranded on the margins of literary history. While critics no longer dismiss or ignore these works, recent reassessments have emphasized their interventions in various political and cultural debates rather than their literary significance. Sentimental Memorials, by contrast, argues that sentimental novels gave the women who wrote them a means of clarifying, protesting, and finally memorializing the historical conditions under which they wrote. As women writers successfully navigated the professional marketplace but struggled to position their works among more lasting literary monuments, their novels reflect on what the elevation of literature would mean for women's literary reputations. Drawing together the history of the novel, women's literary history, and book history, Melissa Sodeman revisits the critical frameworks through which we have understood the history of literature. Novels by Sophia Lee, Ann Radcliffe, Charlotte Smith, and Mary Robinson, she argues, offer ways of rethinking some of the signal literary developments of this period, from emerging notions...

Recycling Virginia Woolf in Contemporary Art and Literature

Autor: Monica Latham , Caroline Marie , Anne-laure Rigeade

Número de Páginas: 288

Recycling Virginia Woolf in Contemporary Art and Literature exam>ines Woolf’s life and oeuvre from the perspective of recycling and pro>vides answers to essential questions such as: Why do artists and writers recycle Woolf’s texts and introduce them into new circuits of meaning? Why do they perpetuate her iconic fgure in literature, art and popular culture? What does this practice of recycling tell us about the endurance of her oeuvre on the current literary, artistic and cultural scene and what does it tell us about our current modes of production and consumption of art and literature? This volume offers theoretical defnitions of the concept of recycling applied to a multitude of specifc case studies. The reasons why Woolf’s work and authorial fgure lend themselves so well to the notion of recy>cling are manifold: frst, Woolf was a recycler herself and had a personal theory and practice of recycling; second, her work continues to be a prolifc compost that is used in various ways by contemporary writers and artists; fnally, since Woolf has left the original literary sphere to permeate popular culture, the limits of what has been recycled have ex>panded in unexpected ways....

Does It Hurt?

Ki vagyok? Már régen elfelejtettem a választ erre a kérdésre. Attól a perctől fogva, hogy elfutottam abból a házból. Amikor kétségbeesett menekülési vágytól hajtva egyszél ruhában és zokniban rohantam el, és attól a naptól kezdve mindig is lopott cipőkben jártam. Lehet, hogy olyan lány vagyok, aki arctalan férfiakban keresi az élet értelmét? Mind felejthetők voltak. Amíg ő meg nem jelent. Egy vízesés alá vont, és elfeledtette velem a nevemet, cserébe én felvettem az övét. Enzo Vitale-ét. Egy rejtélyes férfiét, aki világéletében csak a mély tengert fogja szeretni. Vagy inkább az ott élő ragadozókat. Kiderült, hogy nem is olyan sokban különbözik a szörnyektől, amiket etet. Úgy csalt fel a hajójára, mint ahogy kifog egy halat az óceánból. Bosszút keresett a bűnömért. Ha sejtettem volna, mi a szándéka, és hogy egy hatalmas vihar miatt hajótöröttként vetődünk partra, elmenekültem volna. Most egy omladozó világítótoronyban menedéket kereső lány vagyok, egy olyan férfi mellett, aki egyszerre undorodik tőlem és vágyódik rám. Fájdalmat akar okozni nekem, de az elhagyott sziget vén gondnoka ennél...
