Mr Malloy: A BWWM Teacher-Student Romance

by Cherry Kay

*A COMPLETE TEACHER-STUDENT ROMANCE BOOK, NO CLIFFHANGERS*

Being a law student in the USA was quite a challenge for 21 year old Amara but everything she went through was made easier as soon as she got into class and laid her eyes….on him.

Mr Jason Malloy was far too handsome to be a teacher. A man that looked as good as him belonged on the catwalk and not in a University. His toned body and boyish good looks were quite a distraction for most of the women on campus and Amara was no different.

Still, this did nothing to change the fact that teacher-student relationships were expressly forbidden and so nothing could ever come from such a situation.

However, when some unexpected circumstances arise both Mr. Malloy and Amara are forced to face their feelings for each other and do something that is wrong on so many levels, yet feels so good and feels so right at the same time…

If you like romances with a forbidden love and a slightly taboo theme then you will love this beautiful teacher-student romance!

is a training method focusing on making fingers faster by dividing scale
tune into three, exercising in curved fingers with slow tempo, and training
in doubling speed, and makes hand shape easily rounded, including the
principle to make robust tune quickly.

When playing Black Keys, it helps to play cleanly without mistake through
Double notes not to slide fingers. It is also designed to make up tempo
with protecting and relaxing wrists in spite of training and exercising for
long time.

This book, even when children with shorter exercising time use it, provides
methods to learn Genus Piano Technique’s own secrets by sense of hands at

easier musical expressions, and containing a lot of contents in this scale
book.train with unit of three fingers, round hand form can be made easily.
I hope users, who would use this book, will play the piano more easily.

In childhood, the author could have opportunities to exercise technique
styles acquired by Maestro Pianist Baik, Kun-Woo from his

whole series such as Rachmaninoff’s concertos, Prokofiev’s sonatas, and
Beethoven’s piano sonatas, etc., for decades, and won a couple of Golden
Diapason Prizes in France.

Based on this training technique from childhood, I have rearranged the
technique methods with my own style in order to make them understood
popularly and easily. I also tried to decode the methods to relax easily,
to make fingers faster, and to remember scales through body for 5-year-old
children with musical notes only.

From 5-year-old children to adults who have a hobby of playing the piano,
people in wide range of ages have used the book and praised it for better
hand shape, deeper musical tones, and easy and light hand motions. This
scale book is also praised as if it is a magic, making players’ arms feel
convenient.

robust tunes when they exercise it with faster tempo

Siddhartha

by Hermann Hesse

Siddhartha is an allegorical novel by Hermann Hesse which deals with the spiritual journey of an Indian boy called Siddhartha during the time of the Buddha. The book was written in German, in a simple, yet powerful and lyrical style. It was first published in 1922, after Hesse had spent some time in India in the 1910s.

The story revolves around a young man who leaves his home and family on a quest for the Truth. Embarking on a journey that takes him from the austerities of renunciation to the profligacy of wealth. That leads him through the range of human experiences from hunger and want, to passion, pleasure, pain, greed, yearning, boredom, love, despair and hope. A journey that leads finally to the river, where he gains peace and eventually wisdom. This is the story of Siddhartha as told by Nobel Laureate Hermann Hesse in his most influential work.

Hermann Hesse:

Hermann Hesse (b. 1877) was a German-born Swiss poet and author, best known for writing the novels ‘Steppenwolf’, ‘Siddhartha’, and ‘The Glass Bead Game’. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946. His themes focus on man’s struggle to break away from the rigid structures of civilization and follow his essential and inner spirit. For this, Hesse became a literary cult figure.

The Great Learning (Unabridged)

by Confucius

This carefully crafted ebook: “The Great Learning (Unabridged)” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The philosophy of Confucius emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. His followers competed successfully with many other schools during the Hundred Schools of Thought era only to be suppressed in favor of the Legalists during the Qin Dynasty. Following the victory of Han over Chu after the collapse of Qin, Confucius’s thoughts received official sanction and were further developed into a system known as Confucianism. Confucius is traditionally credited with having authored or edited many of the Chinese classic texts including all of the Five Classics, but modern scholars are cautious of attributing specific assertions to Confucius himself. Aphorisms concerning his teachings were compiled in the Analects, but only many years after his death. Confucius’s principles had a basis in common Chinese tradition and belief. He championed strong family loyalty, ancestor worship, respect of elders by their children of husbands by their wives. He also recommended family as a basis for ideal government. He espoused the well-known principle “Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself”, an early version of the Golden Rule. Confucius (551-479 BC) was a Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period of Chinese history.

Die heilige Familie: Kritik der kritischen Kritik gegen Bruno Bauer und Konsorten (German Edition)

by Karl Marx

Dieses eBook: “Die heilige Familie” ist mit einem detaillierten und dynamischen Inhaltsverzeichnis versehen und wurde sorgfältig korrekturgelesen.
Die heilige Familie ist eine Schrift des Ã?bergangs in der theoretischen Entwicklung von Marx. Während er sich hier noch zu Feuerbach bekennt, zeigt die Niederschrift seiner Thesen über Feuerbach, kurz nach Erscheinen des Buches im Februar 1845, dass er sich bereits von Feuerbach zu lösen begann. Dieser Prozess begann unter dem Eindruck der Feuerbach-Kritik in Max Stirners Buch Der Einzige und sein Eigentum (Oktober 1844) und wurde abgeschlossen, nachdem Marx im September 1845 Feuerbachs Replik auf Stirner und dessen Duplik gelesen hatte. AnschlieÃ?end begann Marx mit seiner Stirner-Kritik “Sankt Max”, die aber unveröffentlicht blieb und erst 1932 im Rahmen des Textkonvoluts Die deutsche Ideologie in der Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe erschien.
Karl Marx (1818-1883) war ein deutscher Philosoph, �konom, Gesellschaftstheoretiker, politischer Journalist, Protagonist der Arbeiterbewegung sowie Kritiker der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft und der Religion. Zusammen mit Friedrich Engels wurde er zum einflussreichsten Theoretiker des Sozialismus und Kommunismus. Bis heute werden seine Theorien kontrovers diskutiert.

The God Debate – Dawkins in Denial: A guided tour of an atheist wilderness

by Terry Higham

A unique and fascinating book, ‘The God Debate – Dawkins in Denial’ contains a wealth of hard information rarely presented in books of this nature and brings together in one place multiple reasons for belief in a personal God (theism) and for Christian faith. It exposes the bias, incoherence, aversion to evidence, and superficiality of militant atheists like Richard Dawkins and his key allies, and addresses vital questions we all ponder at some stage in life: â??Is there a God?’, â??Does he really care about us?’, â??What happens to us when we die?’
The book covers the usual topics we expect to find in books upholding theism from a Christian viewpoint, including the philosophical case for God’s existence, science’s full compatibility with belief in God, morality’s need of a theistic foundation, and the rationality of Christianity’s most basic claims, such as the reliability of the gospels, the resurrection and divinity of Jesus, and the need for faith. But it also does justice to topics rarely discussed in such books, such as scientific evidence for modern miracles and an afterlife, the social and personal consequences of excluding God from our lives, the sanctity of life, and the shameful track record of militant atheists in government.
The author is a research-minded Catholic layman with a feel for what intrigues non-academic believers and unbelievers alike. Whilst his main target is Richard Dawkins’ bestseller ‘The God Delusion’, his critique includes other well known champions of atheism and topics Dawkins’ book largely ignores.

Ausgewählte Gedichte (Aus den Odi Barbare, Juvenilia, Levia Gravia, Jamben und Epoden, Gesang von Legnano und mehr) – Vollständige deutsche Ausgabe (German Edition)

by Giosuè Carducci

Dieses eBook: “Ausgewählte Gedichte (Aus den Odi Barbare, Juvenilia, Levia Gravia, Jamben und Epoden, Gesang von Legnano und mehr) – Vollständige deutsche Ausgabe” ist mit einem detaillierten und dynamischen Inhaltsverzeichnis versehen und wurde sorgfältig korrekturgelesen.
Giosuè Carducci (1835-1907) war ein italienischer Dichter, Redner und Literaturhistoriker. Schon früh war Carducci mit kleinen literarhistorischen Arbeiten in Zeitschriften hervorgetreten, desgleichen mit einer lyrischen Sammlung: Rime (1857). Kräftiger kam die Eigenart des Dichters in den weiteren Sammlungen: Levia gravia (1868) und I Decennali, zum Ausdruck. Hier verrät er sich als ein Poet von ungewöhnlicher Kühnheit und Originalität des Gedankens. Der verneinende Geist, die rebellione, die forza vindice della ragione, wird darin mit schlagender Gewalt der Sprache als die treibende Kraft des Menschenlebens und der Weltgeschichte, als der Genius geistiger Unabhängigkeit und Schrankenlosigkeit, als Prinzip allen Fortschritts gefeiert. Seine Vorliebe für die altrömische Vergangenheit regte ihn auch dazu an, die Horazischen Odenstrophen in seinen Odi barbare (1880) und Nuove odi barbare zu erneuern. 1906 erhielt Carducci den Nobelpreis für Literatur.

E. W. Hornung (1866-1921) was an English author and a war poet and also brother-in-law to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Hornung is known for writing the A. J. Raffles series about a gentleman thief based on a deliberate inversion of the Sherlock Holmes series. Hornung dedicated his creation as a form of flattery to Doyle. Hornung’s works are also remembered for giving insight into the social mores of late 19th and early 20th century British society.

The Most Pleasant and Delectable Questions of Love (The Unabridged Original English Translation)

by Giovanni Boccaccio

This carefully crafted ebook: “The Most Pleasant and Delectable Questions of Love (The Unabridged Original English Translation)” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. This is a translation of Boccaccio`s “Il libro di Difinizioni”, first translated into English by “H.G.” (probably Henry Grantham) in London, 1566. Giovanni Boccaccio (1313 – 21 December 1375) was an Italian author and poet, a friend, student, and correspondent of Petrarch, an important Renaissance humanist and the author of a number of notable works including the Decameron, On Famous Women, and his poetry in the Italian vernacular. Boccaccio is particularly notable for his dialogue, of which it has been said that it surpasses in verisimilitude that of virtually all of his contemporaries, since they were medieval writers and often followed formulaic models for character and plot.

Songs of Experience (Illuminated Manuscript with the Original Illustrations of William Blake)

by William Blake

This carefully crafted ebook: “Songs of Experience (Illuminated Manuscript with the Original Illustrations of William Blake)” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Songs of Experience is the second part of Songs of Innocence and of Experience: Shewing the Two Contrary States of the Human Soul (first published in 1794), an expansion of Blake’s first illuminated book Songs of Innocence. The poems and artwork were reproduced by copperplate engraving and colored with washes by hand. Blake republished Songs of Innocence and Experience several times, often changing the number and order of the plates. The spellings, punctuation and capitalizations are those of the original Blake manuscripts. William Blake (1757 – 1827) was a British poet, painter, visionary mystic, and engraver, who illustrated and printed his own books. Blake proclaimed the supremacy of the imagination over the rationalism and materialism of the 18th-century. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age.

“It was snowing. A northwester was rushing over the mountains. As the storm wind shifted a few points west and east, the mountains cut it away, so that one valley lay in a lull of quiet air, with the snow dropping in perpendicular lines; or else the mountains caught the wind in a funnel and poured a venomous blast, in which the snow hardened and became cold teeth. The two men lying in a covert saw Skinner Mountain, due south of them, withdraw into the mist of white and again jump out at them, blocking half the sky. The weather and the sudden appearances of Mount Skinner troubled Lou Alp.” (excerpt)

Homo sum (Historischer Roman) – Vollständige Ausgabe: Die Geschichten der Sinai-Halbinsel: Die Höhlen der Anachoreten, der Wüstenväter (German Edition)

by Georg Ebers

Dieses eBook: “Homo sum (Historischer Roman) – Vollständige Ausgabe” ist mit einem detaillierten und dynamischen Inhaltsverzeichnis versehen und wurde sorgfältig korrekturgelesen.
Georg Ebers (1837-1898) war ein deutscher Ã?gyptologe und Schriftsteller. Mit seinen historischen Romanen und populärwissenschaftlichen Büchern trug er zur groÃ?en Popularität der Ã?gyptologie im ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert bei. Beginnend mit Eine ägyptische Königstochter (1864) verfasste Ebers zahlreiche historische Romane, die auf groÃ?es Leserinteresse stieÃ?en. Neben Felix Dahn gilt er als der bedeutendste Vertreter des “Professorenromans”. Die Themen der Romane wählte er teilweise aus dem Umfeld seiner wissenschaftlichen Arbeit, also der ägyptischen Geschichte, aber auch aus anderen Epochen (Mittelalter).
Aus dem Buch:
“Felsen, nackte, harte, rothbraune Felsen ringsum; kein Strauch, kein Halm, kein anschmiegendes Moos, das sonst wohl die Natur, als habe ein Athemzug ihres schöpferischen Lebens den unfruchtbaren Stein gestreift, auf die Felsflächen des Hochgebirges hinhaucht. Nichts als glatter Granit und darüber ein Himmel, so leer von jedem Gewölk, wie die Felsen von Sträuchern und Gräsern. Und doch, in jener Höhlung der Bergeswand regt sich menschliches Leben, und zwei kleine graue Vögel wiegen sich in der reinen, leichten, von der Mittagssonne durchglühten Wüstenluft und verschwinden hinter einer Klippenreihe, die, wie eine Mauer von Menschenhand, eine tiefe Schlucht begrenztâ?¦”

THRILLER FANS WILL LOVE MILTON, A TRUE HERO
Young sleuth Milton Lessing is sent to Cyprus to find the killer of his firm’s local manager, the manager’s uncle, and a precious stolen icon. Milton is no ordinary hero of crime stories. He is shorter than average, bespectacled, a scholar of human nature and criminology, but, as the son of a cop, he can handle himself. He combines high intelligence with moral probity and good taste, the rare combination of a true hero, which he will have to become before his ordeal is over.
On the plane, he meets Joe, who tells him his daughter Elena, an archaeologist, can help him find the icon.
Milton enters a world of villainy. His arrival causes panic among people who have everything to lose, including:

� the scheming financial adviser of a Russian countess and her servants,
� a ruthless real estate mogul, whose empire is tottering,
� his Harvard-educated sales manager,
â? the sexy wife of a local politician, whose affair would ruin her husband’s career,
� The hidden Mr. Big, the brains behind the theft, who has a terrible secret,
� the master fence, an art professor in exile, and his brilliant female artist.
A cryptic character known as The Voice sends an assassin to kill Milton, and others entangled in various schemes, each separately plan to eliminate the nosy detective.
Enter Elena, the most beautiful woman Milton has ever seen, but as icy and remote as Diana. They form a great duo. He, with his sharp mind, and she with her psychic and martial arts skills, complement each other to a T. Will Milton, an unlikely Adonis, win her love?
From the abbot of a remote monastery, who seems too eager get the insurance money for the icon, they learn that a Russian monk had visited there.
On the way back from the monastery, an attempt is made on Milton’s life, but Elena saves them.
At the Bacchus café, Elena introduces Milton to her friend Sabazjos, who embodies male beauty just as she embodies female beauty and who becomes another ally.
Under the influence of wine he drank at the monastery, Milton dreams that his new friends are reincarnations of Zeno, Aphrodite, and Dionysus. Are they real, or are they from another world?
When Milton tells Callia, museum director, about the Russian connection, she arranges for him to meet Countess Bolkonskaya, scion of the Russian community.
The inspector, meanwhile, summons Milton to the morgue and shows him two corpses, a monk, who was found hanged, and a thief, who took Milton’s picture in the hotel. Who is behind these unrelated murders? The police throw Milton under the bus. The inspector is livid and suggests that Milton leave the island before the “deadly icon” claims more lives.
At the countess’s Milton meets Gregory, her crooked financial adviser, and her wicked servants, Boris and his wife Olga. While viewing the countess’s dazzling art collection, Milton asks questions about The Holy Trinity, a precious icon he suspects is fake. Has he stumbled on another art scheme? Is this another deadly icon? Gregory is nonplussed and invites Milton to a party on board his yacht.
Milton goes to the party and during the merrymaking slips below to search the staterooms. While examining the contents of a closet, he feels a hand on his shoulder, turns around, and everything goes black.
Milton’s friends watch in dismay as the lights of the yacht recede into the blackness of the night. Milton has been kidnapped! Who can save him?

Rappaccini’s Daughter (Unabridged): A Medieval Dark Tale from Padua from the Renowned American Novelist, Author of The Scarlet Letter, The House of Seven Gables and Twice-Told Tales

by Nathaniel Hawthorne

This carefully crafted ebook: “Rappaccini’s Daughter (Unabridged)” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Excerpt: “Does this garden belong to the house?” asked Giovanni. “Heaven forbid, signor, unless it were fruitful of better pot herbs than any that grow there now,” answered old Lisabetta. “No; that garden is cultivated by the own hands of Signor Giacomo Rappaccini, the famous doctor, who, I warrant him, has been heard of as far as Naples.” (Rappaccini’s Daughter) “Rappaccini’s Daughter” is the story of Beatrice, the daughter of Giacomo Rappaccini, who is in turn a medical researcher in medieval Padua and grows a garden of poisonous plants. American novelist and short story writer Nathaniel Hawthorne’s (1804-1864) writing centers on New England, many works featuring moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. Hawthorne has also written a few poems which many people are not aware of. His works are considered to be part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, Dark romanticism. His themes often centre on the inherent evil and sin of humanity, and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity.

Lenz – Vollständige Ausgabe: Das Hauptwerk des Autors von Dantons Tod, Woyzeck Leonce und Lena (Eine Schizophreniestudie) (German Edition)

by Georg Büchner

Dieses eBook: “Lenz – Vollständige Ausgabe” ist mit einem detaillierten und dynamischen Inhaltsverzeichnis versehen und wurde sorgfältig korrekturgelesen.
Lenz ist auf der Reise in das Bergdorf Waldbach zum Pfarrer Oberlin. Seine Wanderung führt ihn durch das winterliche Gebirge, dessen Unwirtlichkeit und Kälte er nicht spürt. Das Gefühl für Raum und Zeit geht Lenz verloren, er hört die Stimmen der Felsen, sieht die Wolken jagen und in der Sonne ein “gleiÃ?end Schwert”, das die Landschaft schneidet. Die eigene völlige Erschöpfung dringt nicht mehr in sein Bewusstsein, sondern wird Teil des Weltalls, Ausgangspunkt kürzester Augenblicke höchster Glücksgefühle und langer Phasen der Gleichgültigkeit. Der Abend bringt ihm Einsamkeit und Angst, seine Schritte werden ihm wie “Donnergrollen, es ist ihm, als “jage der Wahnsinn auf Rossen hinter ihm”. “Lenz” ist ein Werk von Georg Büchner, der Titel stammt jedoch nicht vom Autor selbst. Sie erschien postum 1839. Ihre genaue Entstehungszeit ist unbekannt, Büchner hat sich aber nachweislich spätestens seit dem Frühjahr 1835 mit dem Stoff beschäftigt.
Georg Büchner (1813-1837) war ein hessischer Schriftsteller, Mediziner, Naturwissenschaftler und Revolutionär. Er gilt trotz seines schmalen Werkes – er starb bereits im Alter von 23 Jahren – als einer der bedeutendsten Literaten des Vormärz. Teile seines Werkes zählen zur Exilliteratur.

Doin’ The Southwest Adventure Caravan 2015

by Frank T. Hogg

This Book Is Written For:

(1) Anyone who wants to read about or make this trip, be it tent camping or any RV, it doesn’t have to be a Airstream.

(2) For those who like to read a humorous account of 50+ days of travel in a Airstream Caravan throughout the Southwest four corner states of Colorado, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico.

(3) For those who have wondered what an Airstream Caravan is like, and what to expect while traveling on a caravan.

(4) For those who would like to do and go where this caravan went but don’t have the time to do it all at one time.

Here is a link to a short video showing how to use this book to plan your trip:
https://youtu.be/5Rcifijl0LY

Older longer video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f89VmK6OJqU

Other links are available at: FrankHogg.com

This book is broken up into chapters with each one showing a different day of our trip. Where we stayed, where we ate, what we saw in the near by areas. Hot links to a Google map of the area, Links to campgrounds, attractions and other details of each site.
This is designed so you can either follow in our footsteps or pick and choose which places you want to go to and see on your own timeframe. On the Caravan we had specific times for each spot and there were many we would have liked to stay longer.
Each location has driving suggestions on roads to take. (at the time of our caravan in 2015)

We were new to Airstreams this year but we previously had a Class C motorhome. We always admired Airstreams and whenever we encountered one over the previous 5 years we were always struck at how friendly and eager the people were to show their Airstreams to us. We finally took the plunge and got one in April of 2015. Not a new one, a 2005 Airstream Classic 30′. Our first trip was to the Alumapalooza at the Airstream factory in Ohio. It was a great experience and a wonderful introduction to being part of the Airstream family.
One of the things we could now do was go on an Airstream caravan hosted by the WBCCI, the Airstream club that’s been around for 50 or more years. We looked at those available and decided we would like to go on the Southwest Adventure Caravan but it was booked solid for 2015. I looked all over the net and could not find anything about these caravans other than everyone telling me how great they were and we would love it. Still I wanted to know just exactly what they were all about. That desire and the lack of that information was the original reason for this book. Then as work progressed I got the idea of providing all the information one would need to do this caravan on their own. After all, this only happens once a year and only 30 campers can go on it. That leaves out a lot of people. I designed this book so you can use it to decide what areas you want to visit and use it to plan your trip. I’ve made a video showing how the planning part is done (here) I’ve made this book to be what I would have loved to have before we went on this caravan. I must say however, that everyone who said we would love it were right! It was probably the best time I’ve had in my life and I can hardly wait to do it again.
I hope you enjoy this book and find it useful in your travels. Please put in a review about it.
I have a website frankhogg.com where I’ll put more info, updates, more links, feedback, errata and a whole host of other things you’ll find useful.
This book has about 572 pictures,. We took thousands of them and I tried to pick the best of those for the book. We went to a lot of places and saw a lot of things and took a lot of pictures. There are also about 56 maps with many live links to campgrounds and other places you can use to help plan your own trip.

Start from SW Virginia on August 1st, 2015
Start of Caravan at Durango CO on August 22nd, 2015
End of Caravan At Santa Fe NM on October 12th, 2015
Back at home in Virginia on October 23rd, 2015
Total time 83 days.

Or you can wait for this collected edition, which is all a newcomer to my brand needs to catch up with everything released on my Patreon up to May 2018. That doesn’t just include the three stories that launched the service. But also includes as a bonus the previously released prequel season to Urban Fantasy. That’s an entire book, as a bonus, so that this collected edition will be the only edition you need to catch up. I’ve even added a bonus preview prologue for a new story joining the line up in Act 2. Going forward in future collected editions in this series, the chapters will be in release order, so as to preserve crossover events, making this the definitive way to consume my writing, short of subscribing for a dollar a month..

Palomares 66, 6 relatos desclasificados (Spanish Edition)

by Colectivo Guadaltintero

Un bebé, un astronauta negro, un gato cuántico, un espía ruso y un investigador de lo paranormal… todos entrecruzados en un momento de inflexión de la historia de España: el paso de la autarquía fascista a la modernización de la alianza comercial con los americanos, y sus efectos colaterales.

Todo comenzó como un juego, hace ya unos cuantos años, cuando los miembros de un colectivo de escritura creativa nos propusimos un ejercicio literario: escribir un libro de relatos cruzados. Cada cual escribiría una historia, y después de una lectura conjunta e intensos debates, volveríamos sobre los textos para incluir referencias y personajes comunes previamente acordados. Sobrevivimos al intento. El resultado fue la publicación en 2016 de La Guerra Nuestra, un libro de relatos cruzados en torno a la guerra civil española de 1936. Lo más curioso del experimento fue su resultado: a pesar de su concepción como un conjunto de relatos independientes, la mayoría de lectores percibió la obra como una novela coral.
Ha pasado el tiempo, tanto para el Colectivo Guadaltintero, como para la España que retratamos. Palomares 66, es un segundo proyecto de relatos cruzados ambientado no ya en el inicio de la época franquista, sino en su ocaso, cuando la dictadura se agotaba y pretendió tomar oxígeno enterrando a su entrañable madrecita María del Carmen para sustituirla por la chica yeyé. No nos quisimos enterar de que los pasodobles raciales y los coros y danzas eran especies a extinguir en las plazas de los pueblos en beneficio de la yenka patriótica de la derecha-derecha, izquierda al talego y tres pasos atrás. Los amigos americanos de Viva la Gente, pizpiretos, bendijeron el experimento y lo sazonaron de luz y de color.
Por este nuevo conjunto de relatos que nace, ahora sí, con pretensiones de novela colectiva, desfilan personajes que estuvieron en los secretos de la operación Flecha Rota. Palomares 66 es un trabajo que destila esencias cutreluxe del tardofranquismo, entra en los hangares de Rota y descubre las tramas que provocaron el accidente nuclear silenciado en el pueblo de Palomares. Caspa fresca cubre como escarcha los hombros de algunos protagonistas y la atmósfera es densa por la acción combinada del humo de tabaco negro, los aromas de fritanga y las fugas de las bombas en tierras almerienses. En el aire quedan las bienaventuranzas del mesías de Duluth sopladas al viento y los maullidos de un gato negro que conoce todas las claves y está empeñado en manifestarse en cada historia.
El Colectivo Guadaltintero, de nuevo, ha sobrevivido a la radiactividad.

by Michael Georg Conrad

Dieses eBook: “In purpurner Finsternis (Dystopie-Roman)” ist mit einem detaillierten und dynamischen Inhaltsverzeichnis versehen und wurde sorgfältig korrekturgelesen.
Aus dem Buch:
“Seine königliche Abstammungs-Fabel von einem gefangenen Friska-Fürsten fand sie geschmacklos. Alles Dekadente berühmt sich seiner Abstammung und pocht auf Ahnenreihen. Sie warf an dieser Stelle seiner Erzählung nur die Bemerkung hin: â?? Was liegt an Vorfahren? DaÃ? man Vorfahr werde und Nachkommen habe, die die Welt mit Glanz erfüllen, daran liegt etwas.”

Der Wettflug der Nationen (Science-Fiction-Klassiker) – Vollständige Ausgabe (German Edition)

by Hans Dominik

Dieses eBook: “Der Wettflug der Nationen (Science-Fiction-Klassiker) – Vollständige Ausgabe” ist mit einem detaillierten und dynamischen Inhaltsverzeichnis versehen und wurde sorgfältig korrekturgelesen.
Hans Dominik (1872-1945) war ein deutscher Science-Fiction- und Sachbuchautor, Wissenschaftsjournalist und Ingenieur.
Aus dem Buch:
“Dieses scheinbar nutzlose Gelände ist keineswegs unwichtig. Es ist der Flugplatz, über dem die von den Eggerth-Werken herausgebrachten Flugzeuge eingeflogen werden und von dem aus sie danach immer weiter ausgedehnte Probeflüge in die Umgebung unternehmen. Als Professor Eggerth sich hier mehrere Jahre vor dem Weltkriege niederlieÃ? und zuerst ganz bescheiden mit einer kleinen Werkstatt anfing, wurde manch absprechendes Urteil über ihn gefällt. Der typische deutsche Gelehrte, sagte man, der allen Dingen mit professoraler Wissenschaftlichkeit auf den Grund gehen will, in einer Baracke, die er hochtrabend “Forschungsinstitut” nennt, zwecklose, kostspielige Versuche anstellt, und vor lauter Versuchen nicht zum Bauen kommt. Doch die folgenden Jahre hatten solche Kritiken bald verstummen lassen…”
