Viviana, Valeria, Veronica e Vanessa sono ritornate a vivere con la madre, Valentina, in seguito alla tragica perdita del padre. Insieme avviano una nuova attività, il Bed & Breakfast Il poggio, immerso nella splendida natura delle colline toscane.

È Vanessa, vecchia conoscenza di Dimitri, con il quale ha vissuto un breve e intenso amore milanese, la sola che può far sperare in un recupero del ragazzo.

La península ibérica es una región con una gran biodiversidad. A pesar de que contamoscon la tarántula más grande de Europa (Loxosceles rufescens), en la península ibérica, noes muy frecuente que la picadura de animales venenosos tenga un resultado fatal para elser humano (víboras, tarántulas, escorpiones, etc.).Tanto a los pacientes, como a los propios médicos, las mordeduras pueden generar graninquietud, ya sea por el desconocimiento de las posibles complicaciones como por nosaber cómo actuar ante ellas.Este libro surge de una doble necesidad. Por un lado, la de concentrar de manera escuetay muy práctica el manejo de la mordedura o picadura de estos seres, facilitando el trabajodel médico (especialmente urgenciólogo o de primaria) con la mejor evidencia científicadisponible. Y por otro, la de ayudar al médico a identificar las especies ponzoñosas de laregión.

Cada vez que aparece el coche ocurre un desafortunado suceso en este tranquilo pueblo de Penrose.Hay quién emplea su tiempo sirviendo a los demás, la tienda del encuentro perdura por los siglos. Hitler es un magnífico pintor que, de vez en cuando, nos visitaba. ¿Y por qué esa dichosa manía de las galletas? ¿Por qué las uñas? ¿Por qué la castigadora? ¿Quién sabe de Ríos? ¿Por qué la enterradora tiene tan extraña granja? La inspectora Beatriz Jiménez Martínez conducía plácidamente su descapotable blanco cuando se salió de la carretera y fue a dar con sus huesos a Penrose, un extraño lugar donde el tiempo no es como debería ser.Entre asesinatos, intrigas, la poderosa familia, los curas, clínicas privadas, el tío hallado en el río, el laberinto subterráneo y el bar Hitler, se halla una trama bien urdida, ¿pero por quién?Un trasfondo, tan disparatando como impactante, del que Beatriz querrá escapar, pero antes ha de resolver los crímenes y misterios que le ha ordenado la jueza.Entre lo absurdo y lo surreal se haya la verdad; una verdad basada en estudios científicos. Aunque aquí, en Penrose, nada es lo que parece, y todo tiene un porqué...

Les archives de Cajarc (46) présentent une richesse exceptionnelle pour le XIVe siècle. Au fil des milliers de pages des documents qu'elles contiennent, on peut observer le fonctionnement politique et la vie sociale d'une petite communauté des bords du Lot durant cette difficile période, entre guerre, épidémies de peste et récession. On voit aussi son horizon se réduire pour devenir provincial après avoir porté sur les confins du monde méditerranéen. Et pourtant, malgré tout, on découvre des habitants vivant dans une certaine normalité en s'adaptant aux aléas des temps. C'est surtout à ces Cajarcois aujourd'hui oubliés que cet ouvrage est consacré. A travers plus de 200 fiches biographiques, on pénètre dans leur réalité quotidienne en s'étonnant de la diversité de leurs parcours. On peut en effet toucher du doigt les malheurs des temps en voyant par exemple cette famille enrichie par le grand commerce et implantée en ville depuis plus d'un siècle disparaître en quelques mois sous les coups de la peste; on peut aussi admirer la persévérance de ce petit artisan devenant un notable local à force de travail, ou encore le dynamisme de ce marchand qui, en plus de ses florissantes affaires, participa à la gestion de la ville jusqu'à plus de 80 ans. En fait, si l'exotisme de l'écart temporel et les événements extraordinaires de l'époque nous font apparaître ces parcours individuels comme exceptionnels, ils nous montrent finalement aussi des hommes aux préoccupations très proches des nôtres.

HISTOIRE INSPIRÉE DE FAITS VÉCUS: Préparez-vous à lire d'un trait ce récit bouleversant et qui vous laissera sans mots. C'est l'histoire de Romain, marqué à jamais et renié par sa mère monoparentale, violente et alcoolique. Romain fut battu, enfermé et mal nourri. Adolescent, il fut abusé et violé par les maîtresses de l'amant de sa mère. J'avais l'envie de disparaître aux yeux d'autrui. J'avais envie que tout cela s'arrête. Mon corps n'en pouvait plus de toujours se laver et frotter pour enlever la saleté. Même si l'eau et le savon se mélangeaient à ma peau, je sentais toujours le viol, car maintenant je pouvais enfin l'affirmer. J'étais un enfant violé. On m'avait volé mon enfance et mon début d'adolescence. On m'avait détruit. Plus rien ne serait pareil maintenant. Adolescent anéanti, Romain parviendra-t-il à sortir de cet enfer, à sortir de l'ombre... ? Voilà un témoignage terriblement émouvant qui est malheureusement d'actualité encore aujourd'hui.

This book is the continuing story that began with the Mystery of the Iatt Lake Monster - Revealed!, subtitled Squatchland: The Dartigo Creek Valley Project, were I discovered a tribe of Bigfoots living across the street where I was renting a Cajun-style shotgun house with a rusty tin roof across from a well at the foot of a clean, clear swamp created by three crooked creeks. After a violent initial encounter, David made friends with Mo Cho Rook, the king of the Crooked Snake tribe. Then after moving to the other side of the parish, members of the tribe followed him and made camp across the road from his new habitation where he made friends with Nebehkakun, the local clan leader, who told David much about the tribe and the various local clans. Over one hundred Bigfoots moved to live in his yard, hence the title Squatchland II: Under the Sign of the Crooked Snake.

DRYING OUT picks up where WET PAY left off. It takes us through the second half of Sam's career in the dive industry. Sam does less diving as he works his way into more supervising and also becomes an IMCA certified Life Support Technician (LST). It chronicles his time spent on SAT systems in the Gulf of Mexico following the damage done by Hurricane Ivan and the total destruction wreaked upon the Gulf states by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. When that work was slowing down, Sam found work in other parts of the world including Saudi Arabia, Italy, and Egypt. Sam's career path introduces him to hyperbaric tunneling where he thinks he might spend the final years of his career. However, his career is brought full circle as his last job is supervising on a large dam project on the Ohio River; his first real commercial dive job taking place on a dam in Wyoming on the Shoshone River (as described in WET PAY).

Legacy: The Birth of Modern Turkey - The Motherland Saga, The Epic Novel of Turkey - ANTHOLOGY EDITION The mammoth 3-volume set of The Motherland Saga - Legacy, Emergence, and Coming of Age - are embraced in this single volume, covering the critical years in modern Turkish history: from 1897, when the decaying Ottoman Superpower contracted its terminal illness, to 1983, when the first cracks in the post-Ataturk monolith signaled the eventual collapse of its military-controlled democracy and the harbinger of the current political situation. Four of the most memorable characters in modern literature propel this vast historical novel forward: Turhan Türkoğlu, who rises from his birth as a poverty-stricken bastard in southeastern Anatolia, to become the Conscience of his Nation; Halide Orhan, deformed and condemned to a life of misery, who transcends her past to become the universally beloved Angel of Modern Turkey; Nadji Akdemir, scion of generations of military pride of his nation, who defeats his personal demons to ascend to immortality; and Abbas Hükümdar, an early victim of unspeakable cruelty, who ultimately walks a different path in life. But above and beyond them all, this is a COMING OF AGE tale: the coming of age of Modern Turkey, amidst the agony of shattering defeats, tragically lost love, the lowest depths to which human depravity can descend, and, ultimately, the triumph of the human spirit in the face of every challenge. This is a volume to savor, to devour, to treasure, a literary masterwork to be passed down from generation to generation, and a reminder of how important a role each human being plays in the fabric that lies at the heart of human history. Hugo N. Gerstl resides on the central coast of California with his wife, Lorraine, a teacher and writer.
