The Sun Also Rises: Deluxe Illustrated Edition (eBook, ePUB)
New illustrations by Tim Foley and a new foreword by author Robert Wheeler catapult this timeless classic by Ernest Hemingway into the twenty-first century with vigor. For nearly a century, The Sun Also Rises has endured as one of Hemingway's masterworks, and is widely regarded as a prime example of the great American writer's pioneering style and form. His first major novel explores powerful themes like masculinity and male insecurity, sex and love, and the effects of a brutal war on an aimless generation. This roman à clef is based on the real experiences and relationships Hemingway had in the early 1920s. Set predominantly in France and Spain, the novel follows a group of disillusioned aimless expats tooling around post-war Europe, living hard, drinking heavily, and having complicated sordid love affairs. The novel is told from the perspective of Jake Barnes, a World War I vet turned journalist living in Paris, who is still in love with his former flame, the eccentric and charismatic Lady Brett Ashley. Meanwhile, Jake's friend, author Robert Cohn, becomes tired of his oppressive marriage and sets off to seek out adventure, becoming enamored with Brett himself. They all eventually drift from the glitz and glamour of 1920s Paris to Pamplona, Spain, where they revel in the rawness of bullfights and alcohol-fueled parties, eventually devolving into jealousy and violent drama. This leads to Jake coming to a stark realization-that he can never be with the woman he truly loves.- Shop: buecher

Madame Bovary: Provincial Lives
Emma Bovary is beautiful and bored, trapped in her marriage to a mediocre doctor and stifled by the banality of provincial life. An ardent reader of sentimental novels, she longs for passion and seeks escape in fantasies of high romance, in voracious spending and, eventually, in adultery. But even her affairs bring her disappointment and the consequences are devastating. Flaubert's erotically charged and psychologically acute portrayal of Emma Bovary caused a moral outcry on its publication in 1857. It was deemed so lifelike that many women claimed they were the model for his heroine; but Flaubert insisted: 'Madame Bovary, c'est moi'.- Shop: buecher

Fear Busters: 14 Ways to De-Program Fear Forever , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 184min
Studies indicate that 74% of the population is afraid of public speaking, and 68% fear dying. Certainly fear is an emotion that many struggle to overcome. The paradox of life is that what we fear, we eventually magnetize straight into our lives. What we don't understand is that fear is often a pre-programmed response that roots back to childhood. Through repetition in a fear-based environment, our subconscious mind can actually be programmed to initiate a fear-based response to virtually any situation. Then, we basically run on autopilot, and often fears of various sorts dominate our behavior. We may fear losing money and eventually do. We may fear losing a relationship, and eventually jealousy creeps in and they're gone. We may fear our health, actually creating illness. We may fear losing employment, only to eventually drive it further away. The good news is there are ways to recognize and re-program our paradigm to remove fear from our lives for good! This book is intentionally a quick listen. It gets straight to the point and doesn't waste words. It shows you this connection between past programming and reveals 14 technologies, or tools, you can use on a daily, repetitive basis to program fear right out of your life. ungekürzt.

Red Sauce (eBook, ePUB)
Tells the story of Italian food arriving in the United States and how your favorite red sauce recipes evolved into American staples. In Red Sauce, Ian MacAllen traces the evolution of traditional Italian-American cuisine, often referred to as "red sauce Italian," from its origins in Italy to its transformation in America into a new, distinct cuisine. It is a fascinating social and culinary history exploring the integration of red sauce food into mainstream America alongside the blending of Italian immigrant otherness into a national American identity. The story follows the small parlor restaurants immigrants launched from their homes to large, popular destinations, and eventually to commodified fast food and casual dining restaurants. Some dishes like fettuccine Alfredo and spaghetti alla Caruso owe their success to celebrities, and Italian-American cuisine generally has benefited from a rich history in popular culture. Drawing on inspiration from Southern Italian cuisine, early Italian immigrants to America developed new recipes and modified old ones. Ethnic Italians invented dishes like lobster fra Diavolo, spaghetti and meatballs, and veal parmigiana, and popularized foods like pizza and baked lasagna that had once been seen as overly foreign. Eventually, the classic red-checkered-table-cloth Italian restaurant would be replaced by a new idea of what it means for food to be Italian, even as 'red sauce' became entrenched in American culture. This book looks at how and why these foods became part of the national American diet, and focuses on the stories, myths, and facts behind classic (and some not so classic) dishes within Italian-American cuisine.- Shop: buecher
