Book excerpt: A Belletrist Book Club Pick When Nick Beron and Hannah Rampe decide to move from New York City to the tiny upstate town of Hibernia, they’re in desperate need of a change: their careers have flatlined, the city is exhausting, and they’ve reached a relationship stalemate. So Hannah accepts a job as live-in director of the Wright Historic House, a museum dedicated to an obscure nineteenth-century philosopher whose life was marred by tragedy. At first, life in this old, creaky house feels cozy. Nick and Hannah explore the deserted museum at night, wandering the twisting halls and sneakily trying out the former owners’ original master bed. But as summer turns to fall, Hannah begins to have trouble sleeping; reluctantly, she tells Nick she’s hearing whispers in the night. Then one morning, Nick wakes up to find Hannah gone. In his frantic search for her, Nick will discover the hidden legacy of Wright House: a man driven wild with grief, and a spirit aching for home.

Download or read book Ghost Town written by Joan Lowery Nixon and published by Delacorte Press. This book was released on 2008-12-24 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fans of Gillian Flynn, Caroline Cooney, and R.L. Stine comes Ghost Town: Seven Ghostly Stories from four-time Edgar Allen Poe Young Adult Mystery Award winner Joan Lowery Nixon. In the old towns of the Wild West, there’s more to hear than the paint peeling from the deserted storefronts, more than the tumbleweeds somersaulting down the empty streets. If you listen hard, you can hear voices whispering stories. Stories like the one about the lost mine in Maiden, Montana, or how Wyatt Earp won the shoot-out at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. And don’t forget about the Bad Man from Bodie, California—he’s still searching for his lost finger! Can you hear them? “An entertaining collection.” –School Library Journal “Combining history and mystery…[Ghost Town: Seven Ghostly Stories] recalls classic campfire tales.” –Booklist “A well conceived (and titled) collection…[of] chilling short stories.” –Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book Calder n in the German Lands and the Low Countries written by Henry W. Sullivan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-29 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book recounts the afterlife of the great Golden Age dramatist Pedro Calderón de la Barca in Dutch and German-speaking Europe. The high quality of the German critical and philosophical tradition has led to a far greater appreciation of Calderón outside than inside his native Spain, and it is in the German territories that the playwright's influence has been most remarkable and widespread. Professor Sullivan documents and analyses Calderón's reception and influence on the stage and on playwriting, criticism, philosophy and music in these territories. In addressing his book to students of both the German and the Spanish traditions Professor Sullivan has supplied the necessary background to both cultures and has rendered all quotations into English. The range of material will also make the book important for students of philosophy, comparative drama and German opera.

Download or read book Delphi Complete Works of Thomas Nashe Illustrated written by Thomas Nashe and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2024-03-28 with total page 1395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Elizabethan playwright, poet and satirist, Thomas Nashe was the author of ‘The Unfortunate Traveller’, the first picaresque novel of English literature. His masterpiece was ‘Pierce Penniless, His Supplication to the Divell’, a prose satire that was among the most popular of the Elizabethan pamphlets. Employing a free and extemporaneous prose style, full of colloquialisms, neologisms and fantastic idiosyncrasies, Nashe entertains the reader with a story in which immediate entertainment is favoured over narrative structure. Complex, witty and colourfully anecdotal, Nashe’s work is as brash and bitingly sharp today as when it was first penned over four centuries ago. For the first time, this eBook presents Nashe’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
