Book excerpt: NOBEL PRIZE WINNER • From the author of One Hundred Years of Solitude comes the gripping story of the murder of a young aristocrat that puts an entire society—not just a pair of murderers—on trial. A man returns to the town where a baffling murder took place 27 years earlier, determined to get to the bottom of the story. Just hours after marrying the beautiful Angela Vicario, everyone agrees, Bayardo San Roman returned his bride in disgrace to her parents. Her distraught family forced her to name her first lover; and her twin brothers announced their intention to murder Santiago Nasar for dishonoring their sister. Yet if everyone knew the murder was going to happen, why did no one intervene to stop it? The more that is learned, the less is understood, as the story races to its inexplicable conclusion.

Download or read book Death Foretold written by Nicholas A. Christakis and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2001-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book explains prognosis from the perspective of doctors, examining why physicians are reluctant to predict the future, how doctors use prognosis, the symbolism it contains, and the emotional difficulties it involves. Drawing on his experiences as a doctor and sociologist, Nicholas Christakis interviewed scores of physicians and searched dozens of medical textbooks and medical school curricula for discussions of prognosis in an attempt to get to the core of this nebulous medical issue that, despite its importance, is only partially understood and rarely discussed. "Highly recommended for everyone from patients wrestling with their personal prognosis to any medical practitioner touched by this bioethical dilemma."—Library Journal, starred review "[T]he first full general discussion of prognosis ever written. . . . [A] manifesto for a form of prognosis that's equal parts prediction-an assessment of likely outcomes based on statistical averages-and prophecy, an intuition of what lies ahead."—Jeff Sharlet, Chicago Reader "[S]ophisticated, extraordinarily well supported, and compelling. . . . [Christakis] argues forcefully that the profession must take responsibility for the current widespread avoidance of prognosis and change the present culture. This prophet is one whose advice we would do well to heed."—James Tulsky, M.D., New England Journal of Medicine

Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller: A lyrical, suspenseful coming-of-age story based on Greek myths of the Amazons, woman warriors living near the Black Sea. Born out of sorrow in an ancient time of blood and war, Rain is a girl marked by destiny. Her mother, Alina, is the proud queen of a tribe of female warriors, yet she refuses to touch or even look at her only daughter. So Rain draws on the strength and knowledge of her Amazon sisters to learn the ways of her people: how to carve spoons out of bones, ride her white horse as fiercely as a demon, and shoot an arrow straight into the heart of an enemy. Determined to win her mother’s love and take her rightful place as the next queen, Rain becomes a brave and determined fighter. But the dream of a black horse clouds her future, portending death. As one devastating battle follows the next, Rain hopes for a different life for her tribe beyond never-ending bloodshed. Peace, mercy, and love, however, are forbidden words in her language—can Rain teach her sisters to speak in a new tongue before it’s too late? Inspired by Greek legends and recent archaeological discoveries in Russia and Ukraine, The Foretelling is a breathtaking achievement from the bestselling author of The Dovekeepers.

The story takes place in the 1950s in the suburbs of Stockholm, in the university town of Lund, and in the United States. Neta’s childhood is in disarray. She reads—words give form to the vagueness of existence—and is busy thinking about the female sex, family, and the stupendous diversity of people in the world. Her father, a mathematician, and her mother, a musician, are in constant conflict, but she loves them both. Gradually Neta realizes that she’s grown up in a lie and that she must step carefully through the war zone of her parents’ marriage. This is an insightful tale about the search for truth, morality, and a place of your own in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Loving the Norseman was dangerous. Losing him would destroy her. (836 A.D.), Lothar is the first son of a chieftain who wears golden manacles that proclaim his right as heir to his father's position. Prior to leaving his homeland, he is told by two shaman sisters that he is fated to meet his heart's desire in a new land. On the return journey from one of his father's trading routes in late autumn, he is attacked by one of his own men and his ship is wrecked during a storm. The man is loyal to Lothar's brother, Ulin, who plans to take the right to rule from Lothar and revert to raiding other lands when their father dies. He is rescued by the beautiful Dara, the disgraced illegitimate daughter of the king. Dara is a priestess who was ordained when Goddess Danu placed mystical bracelets on her wrists. She visits the Stone Circle to ask for guidance from the Goddess, and for seasonal celebrations. She wants to be accepted by her father and community. Dara's over-whelming desire to heal, regardless of the circumstances and consequences has made her an outsider. As a result, she lives alone in the haunted forest, leaving the villagers to believe she practices evil arts. Dara also does not trust men after a humiliating experience with a man who fooled her into thinking he cared. She discovers a stranger on the beach near death, and dares to take him home. After recovering, Lothar has to choose between returning to his homeland, or staying to win the love of the willful Priestess, find proof of her innocence, and gain her freedom before the villager burn her as an evil witch who killed a child. Can they overcome their obstacles to unite their two worlds? * Pitted against impossible circumstances the Norseman and the Priestess do find their Happily-Ever-After in this ancient world romance. Although their Viking adventure continues in Book 2, this is a stand-alone book, (no cliffhangers.)

Book excerpt: The author of The Napoleon Complex delivers “everything I like: action, history, secrets, and conspiracies” (Steve Berry, New York Times–bestselling author). When journalist Jake Wolsey stumbles upon a declassified file showing Winston S. Churchill’s interest in the ancient, esoteric Etruscan civilization, his curiosity is piqued—but a series of deadly coincidences seems to surround the file and everyone who knows of its existence. Wolsey soon attracts the unlikely attention of alluring archaeologist Florence Chung—and that of MI6. As the journalist and archaeologist are pursued across Europe and Africa in search of a sacred Etruscan text, danger closes in and more questions than answers arise. Are there powers in the sky modern science has yet to understand? Could the ancients predict the future? And what really explains the rise of Rome, that of Nazi Germany, the ebb and flow of history itself? In a thrilling race against time and enemies known and unknown, Wolsey fears the very survival of the West may depend on his ability to stay one step ahead of his adversaries. An assured rollercoaster full of unexpected twists and turns, E.M. Davey offers up a gripping read for fans of Dan Brown in this bombastic debut. “We have ourselves a cracking good read . . . This is a thriller injected with inside news as well as well-placed heart-attack-inducing paranoia, appealing to all who like their adrenaline rushes fast [and] engrossing.” —The Bookbag
Download or read book The Eucharist Foretold The Lost Prophecy of Malachi written by Mike Aquilina and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “From the rising of the sun to its setting my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense is offered to my name, and a pure offering; for my name is great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts.”—Malachi 1:11 One Old Testament passage seized the imagination of the early Church—and directed Christian hearts and minds toward the Eucharist. It was the oracle of Malachi 1:11, and it was cited (like Isaiah’s Suffering Servant oracles) to prove the identity of the Messiah through His Church and His Sacrament. In The Eucharist Foretold: The Lost Prophecy of Malachi, Mike Aquilina reveals that the Messiah’s true identity—and the identity of the Eucharist—helps us find our identity as “catholic,” and will lead us to discover our roots in the religion of ancient Israel. To the early Christians, Malachi’s oracle defined who they were individually and as a Church.

Are Disease Epidemics and Pandemics like MERS, SARS, and COVID-19, cyclical events that Human Beings just have to accept? Who’s the best Political Forecaster in Human History? Can we know what the future holds for us as nations and peoples? Read the answers to these and other poignant questions in FORETOLD: The COVID-19 EFFECT. No one would deny that a major part of the COVID-19 EFFECT has been to bring an eerie silence over the earth, throughout much of 2020! Empty streets, business offices, churches, schools, stadiums and parks — with billions of people ‘sheltering in place’ — have dramatically lowered the decibel level generated by Human Beings throughout the world. Another part of the COVID-19 EFFECT has been to greatly curb people’s activity levels, resulting in an unparalleled ‘resting state’ in cities, and countries everywhere. In retrospect, the year 2020 may be dubbed, ‘The year the earth stood still’! What most people are not aware of, is that this COVID-19 EFFECT was FORETOLD in advance over 2500 years ago — and is the first of 8 major events to come! It was all revealed by the most accurate Political Forecaster in the History of Mankind. Read FORETOLD and find out what’s coming after: THE COVID-19 EFFECT!
