Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calm, mature, forgiving, honest, stylish and sober. Brisbane's Terry Flynn possesses none of these qualities. Bumbling his way through life without any real direction, knockabout Terry is the first to admit he's never achieved anything of great significance in his 44 years. Seeking retribution from anyone he believes has wronged him is common practice, but when a degenerate gambler looks set to turn his world upside down, Terry is prompted to produce his greatest square up to date. With an extremely short fuse and an inability to conform with modern society, it's not going to be a walk in the park though. In fact his best mate reckons it's the most ludicrous scheme Terry has ever devised and only gives him a 50/1 chance of pulling it off! Terry's not concerned in the slightest, he's just got a cranky builder, a dangerous driver, English cricket fans and an 80's television star amongst others to deal with first. It's going to be a busy few weeks in December, but with the help of a few friends, Terry's going to give it a crack or go down swinging!

Book excerpt: “A searing, chilling sliver of perfection . . . May well turn out to be the year’s best thriller.” —Charles Finch, The New York Times Book Review “This is simply one of the nastiest and most disturbing thrillers I’ve read in years. I loved it, right down to the utterly chilling final line.” —Gillian Flynn A spellbinding, darkly twisted novel about desire and obsession, and the complicated lines between truth and perception, Our Kind of Cruelty introduces Araminta Hall, a chilling new voice in psychological suspense.

He’s found the perfect home, the perfect job; he’s sculpted himself into the physical ideal V has always wanted. He knows they’ll be blissfully happy together. It doesn’t matter that she hasn’t been returning his e-mails or phone calls. It doesn’t matter that she says she’s marrying Angus. It’s all just part of the secret game they used to play. If Mike watches V closely, he’ll see the signs. If he keeps track of her every move, he’ll know just when to come to her rescue . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named one of 10 Best New Management Books for 2022 by Thinkers50 A Wall Street Journal Bestseller "...this guide provides readers with much more than just early careers advice; it can help everyone from interns to CEOs." — a Financial Times top title You've landed a job. Now what? No one tells you how to navigate your first day in a new role. No one tells you how to take ownership, manage expectations, or handle workplace politics. No one tells you how to get promoted. The answers to these professional unknowns lie in the unspoken rules—the certain ways of doing things that managers expect but don't explain and that top performers do but don't realize. The problem is, these rules aren't taught in school. Instead, they get passed down over dinner or from mentor to mentee, making for an unlevel playing field, with the insiders getting ahead and the outsiders stumbling along through trial and error. Until now. In this practical guide, Gorick Ng, a first-generation college student and Harvard career adviser, demystifies the unspoken rules of work. Ng distills the wisdom he has gathered from over five hundred interviews with professionals across industries and job types about the biggest mistakes people make at work. Loaded with frameworks, checklists, and talking points, the book provides concrete strategies you can apply immediately to your own situation and will help you navigate inevitable questions, such as: How do I manage my time in the face of conflicting priorities? How do I build relationships when I’m working remotely? How do I ask for help without looking incompetent or lazy? The Unspoken Rules is the only book you need to perform your best, stand out from your peers, and set yourself up for a fulfilling career.

Download or read book The Turquoise written by Anya Seton and published by HMH. This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel of a girl’s journey from an orphaned childhood in New Mexico to an opulent life in Gilded Age New York, by the author of Avalon. In 1850, as her mother lay dying and a priest stood by, Santa Fe Cameron was named by her Scottish father after the town in which she had just been born. At seven years old, she would also lose her father. Shortly thereafter, a Navajo shaman recognized psychic power in the orphan girl, and gave her a turquoise pendant as a keepsake. This turquoise, the Indian symbol of the spirit, will dominate her life—even after she leaves the simple beauty of her native New Mexico to search for happiness in the glamorous New York of the 1870s. For “Fey,” life is made up of violent contrasts: the rough wagon that brings her East and the scented carriages waiting before her own Fifth Avenue mansion; the glittering world of the Astors and a dreary cell in the Tombs. Filled with color, excitement, and rich period detail, and starring an unforgettable heroine, this is a stirring historical saga from the author of Katherine, Foxfire, and many other novels. “Seton, at her best, has a gaudy vitality all her own, and a sure sense of theatre. This reader for one enjoyed The Turquoise enormously.” —The New York Times “With accurate historical background, Anya Seton has constructed a touchingly tragic story of a girl who tried so hard to find happiness that she lost everything in her search. The life of Santa Fe Cameron lingers long in memory.” —Springfield Republican

Book excerpt: This Rapunzel is ready to let her hair down. Luckily, the local bad boy is all too willing to help. Most people save their midlife crisis for middle age. Not me. I can't even hold out for a solid quarter life crisis. What can I say? I'm an overachiever like that. I'm also pissed. At what? I don't even know anymore. My parents, my body, my doctor...myself? Take your pick. I don't do angry often but watching Roman-the-wannabe-rock-star ignore my best friend is the last straw. The guy has no idea how good he has it. He's hot, he's beloved, and oh yeah...he doesn't spend every waking second worried that he'll get sick again. The injustice of it all hits me at once and the result isn't pretty. Do I yell at Roman in front of his friends in the midst of a party? Yes. Yes, I do. I'm not proud of the temper tantrum, yet I don't regret it either. But when he tells me I'm right and asks for my help, I can't say no. Even if I didn't feel bad about the public setdown, it's becoming clear that I might need his help in return. Because as much as I hate how easy his life is, he definitely has one skill I don't. He knows how to have fun. And right now? That's all I want. My life needs a major makeover, and like it or not, Roman might just be the perfect guy to teach me how to let my hair down.

Download or read book Ulysses written by Джеймс Джойс and published by Litres. This book was released on 2024-09-26 with total page 1002 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Улисс" – это роман ирландского писателя Джеймса Джойса, впервые опубликованный в 1922 году. Этот выдающийся пример модернистской литературы является одним из самых влиятельных и сложных произведений XX века.Роман представляет собой переработку эпического произведения Гомера "Одиссея", перенесенного в контекст одного дня – 16 июня 1904 года – в жизни обычного человека по имени Леопольд Блум в Дублине. Этот день, известный как "Блумсдэй", включает в себя события и переживания различных персонажей, главным образом Леопольда Блума, его жены Молли и молодого писателя Стивена Дедалуса."Улисс" отличается уникальной структурой и стилем: каждый из его 18 эпизодов выполнен в различной литературной технике, от потока сознания и внутреннего монолога до пародий и мифологических аллюзий. В центре произведения – повседневная жизнь и внутренние переживания героев, что позволяет Джойсу исследовать темы сознания, идентичности, морали и искусства.Несмотря на кажущуюся простоту сюжета, роман пронизан глубокими философскими размышлениями и экспериментами с языком. "Улисс" ставит под вопрос традиционные формы повествования, исследуя сложность человеческого опыта и преображая его в эпическую хронику одного дня.Текст романа приведен на языке оригинала без перевода и адаптации.
