Download or read book Two Friends written by Alberto Moravia and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2011-08-16 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this set of novellas, a few facts are constant. Sergio is a young intellectual, poor and proud of his new membership in the Communist Party. Maurizio is handsome, rich, successful with women, and morally ambiguous. Sergio’s young, sensual lover becomes collateral damage in the struggle between these two men. All three of these unfinished stories, found packed in a suitcase after Alberto Moravia’s death, share this narrative premise. But from there, each story unfolds in a unique way. The first patiently explores the slow unfurling of Sergio’s resentment toward Maurizio. The second reveals the calculated bargain Maurizio offers in exchange for his conversion to Sergio’s beloved Communism. And the third switches dramatically to the first person, laying bare Sergio’s conflicted soul. Anyone interested in literature will relish the opportunity to watch Moravia at work, tinkering with his story and working at it from three unique perspectives.
Download or read book Best Friends Forever written by Irene S. Levine and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men, jobs, children, personal crises, irreconcilable social gaps—these are just a few of the strange and confusing reasons which may cause a female friendship to end. No matter the cause, the breakup of a female friendship leaves a woman devastated and asking herself difficult questions. Was someone to blame? Is the friendship worth fighting for? How can I prevent this from ever happening again? Even more upsetting is that women suffering from broken friendships often have no one to confide in; while the loss of a romantic partner garners sympathy among peers, discussing the loss of a platonic friend is often impossible without making other friends jealous or uncomfortable. Written by journalist and psychologist Irene Levine, Ph.D., Best Friends Forever is an uplifting and heroically honest book for abandoned friends seeking solace. Dr. Levine draws from the personal testimonials of thousands of women to provide anecdotes and groundbreaking solutions to these complicated situations. Offering tools for personal assessment, case stories, and actionable advice for saving, ending, or re-evaluating a relationship, Levine shows that breakups are sometimes inevitable. Although the dissolution of female friendships can be difficult, Best Friends Forever teaches women to stop blaming themselves and probing the wounds, and that the sad experience of a broken friendship can make them stronger people, and more able to handle their relationships with wisdom.
Download or read book Some of My Best Friends Are Black written by Tanner Colby and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An irreverent, yet powerful exploration of race relations by the New York Times-bestselling author of The Chris Farley Show Frank, funny, and incisive, Some of My Best Friends Are Black offers a profoundly honest portrait of race in America. In a book that is part reportage, part history, part social commentary, Tanner Colby explores why the civil rights movement ultimately produced such little true integration in schools, neighborhoods, offices, and churches—the very places where social change needed to unfold. Weaving together the personal, intimate stories of everyday people—black and white—Colby reveals the strange, sordid history of what was supposed to be the end of Jim Crow, but turned out to be more of the same with no name. He shows us how far we have come in our journey to leave mistrust and anger behind—and how far all of us have left to go.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amy Grimes never had any intention of settling down with just one guy. She’s more than happy on her own making six figures as an IT manager, traveling to exotic locales, and keeping her home exactly as she wants it. Her childhood best friend, country boy Owen Durant, feels the same way and has no desire to date just one woman in particular. Even though these platonic friends have harbored a mutual attraction for years, both of them have resisted the urge to explore how they felt about each other. Until now. When Owen’s wealthy, conservative uncle unexpectedly dies, the reading of the will puts him in a predicament — he must forfeit his portion of the inheritance, or find a fiancée, and fast. Owen has no interest in getting married for real, but he also can’t let the prospect of free money get away from him over something as trivial as paperwork. With some fast talk and the promise of a share in the inheritance, Amy readily agrees to travel to their hometown to pose as Owen’s funeral date and fake wife for the weekend. Even though it's just a business transaction, Amy realizes that being in constant close quarters with her long-time best friend and crush and pretending to be married is a little more than she can bear, and they soon find themselves cracking under the pressure. It’s going to take a miracle for them to make it through the funeral and beyond without blowing their cover or catching feelings in this friends-to-lovers romcom!

Book excerpt: Martha Moody's national bestseller—a compassionate and tender novel about best friends from college. A testament to the power of female friendship. When Clare Mann arrives at Oberlin in 1973, she’s never met anyone like Sally Rose. Rich and beautiful, Sally is utterly foreign to a middle-class, Midwestern Protestant like Clare—and utterly fascinating. The fascination only grows when Sally brings her home to L.A. Mr. Rose—charismatic, charming, and owner of a profitable business shrouded in secrey—is nearly as compelling a figure to Clare as he is to his own daughter. California seems like paradise after winters in Ohio. And Clare begins to look forward desperately to these visits, to carefree rides in Sally’s Kharmann Ghia and lazy poolside days. As the years pass, Clare becomes a doctor and Sally a lawyer, always remaining roommates at heart, a plane ride or phone call away. Marriages and divorces and births and deaths do not separate them. But secrets might—for as Clare watches, the Rose family begins to self-destruct before her eyes. And the things she knows are the kinds of things that no one wants to tell a best friend.
