The House Where Silence Learned to DreamTales from the Silent Garden XII(Final Book of the Series)by Evelyne DLorien Book Description (EN)The garden has been silent for a long time.And the house has been waiting even longer.At the far edge of the Silent Garden stands a house that does not call, does not demand, does not promise. It waits. When she crosses its threshold, she steps into a dream shaped by memory, longing, and everything left unspoken.Rooms awaken. Letters remember her name. Windows look back. The night itself leans closer, asking to be seen. As the house reveals its heart, she discovers a truth neither of them could reach alone: silence does not disappear when it is heardit becomes a place where something new can begin.The House Where Silence Learned to Dream is the final volume of Tales from the Silent Garden, bringing the series to a quiet, luminous close. It is a story about memory without pain, dreams without urgency, and the courage to remain with what has waited patiently inside us all along.A meditative, atmospheric conclusion for readers who cherish poetic prose, emotional stillness, and gentle fantasy shaped by introspection rather than conflict.

Punishment was never the point.Undoing was.After the protocol ends, Elena returns to a world that looks unchangedbut no longer feels the same. Structure has not vanished; it has moved inside her. Silence no longer waits to be filled. Obedience no longer depends on command.In Her Quiet Undoing, the second part of The Assistants Punishment, control is no longer enforced through instruction or consequence. Instead, it is stripped down, dismantled, and carefully rebuilt through absence, exposure, and choice. Commands dissolve into intent. Submission becomes fluency. Surrender becomes precision.This is a slow, psychologically exact exploration of power beyond punishmentwhere dominance is no longer loud, resistance no longer useful, and obedience no longer needs to be demanded.A ritual-driven erotic novella about internalized control, voluntary alignment, and the dangerous clarity that follows when nothing is takenonly unnecessary structures removed.For readers of psychological BDSM, slow-burn power exchange, and erotic fiction where silence carries more weight than force.

The Falklands War: Britains Unexpected Battle for a Remote Island ChainWhy did two countries end up fighting over a group of islands barely anyone had heard of?In 1982, Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands, kicking off a short but intense war with Britain that caught the world off guard. On the surface, it looked like a small territorial dispute, but behind it were years of colonial history, clashing national identities, and rising political pressure on both sides.This book looks closely at how it all happened: what led to the invasion, how Britain responded so quickly, and why the Falklands became such a symbolic flashpoint for both nations. Its a detailed, balanced look at a war that wasnt supposed to happen, and how it changed the people and countries involved. Inside, youll learn about: The long and complicated backstory of who really "owned" the Falklands. What pushed Argentinas military leaders to launch an attack? How the British response helped shape the countrys modern identity. What the islanders themselves thought, and why their voices mattered. The political and military fallout that lasted long after the shooting stopped. And much, much more! This isnt just a timeline of events, its a deeper look at what the war meant and why it still matters today.Click Add to Cart now to explore one of the most unexpected and revealing conflicts of the late 20th century.

«A quietude não é um estado em que nada acontece. É antes a capacidade de permanecer imperturbável diante das tempestades que assolam o coração, perante o medo e a preocupação, e perante a confusão.»

«O olho da rua fixa-nos. Sabe que o nosso rabo será dele muito em breve. E, como o único sector que está a expandir é o do gardanho, sentimo-nos cada vez mais próximas do roubo à mão armada. É a evol

O novo livro de Pedro Vieira, onde se conta a história real de sete mulheres que, cada uma a seu tempo, mudaram o curso da história. Despir as mulheres para as expor em público é um costume antigo- e no estamos apenas a falar de roupa.Ha seculos que a existencia das mulheres e terreno aberto para todo o genero de delirios e desaforos dos homens. As suas vidas - terrenas ou espirituais - foram e so instrumentalizadas ao sabor das novas ordens e dos sistemas de poder que frequentemente contrariam a nossa natureza, com particular prejuizo para a metade feminina da humanidade.Atraves de uma narrativa hibrida, entre reconstituiço historica ficcionada e investigaço, Pedro Vieira escreve sobre sete mulheres que so todas as mulheres, sujeitas ao poder deles, cujas existencias foram contadas e adulteradas para servir uma narrativa ardilosa que bloqueia com eficacia qualquer tentativa de emancipaço coletiva.Venus em chamas recupera as historias reais de Maria, me de Jesus, Maria Madalena, imperatriz Teodora, Fillide Melandroni, Joana dArc, Harriet Tubman e irm Lucia, para refletir sobre a forma como a Historia e a Arte as apresentaram, representaram e imolaram, tantas vezes despindo-as de qualquer agencia ou autoridade sobre si mesmas.

From Far Around They Saw Us Burn is the eagerly awaited first short story collection from Alice Jolly, one of the most exciting and accomplished voices in British fiction today.The extraordinary range of work gathered here is united by a fascination with how everyday interactions can transform our lives in unpredictable ways. These are stories of lonely people, outcasts and misfits, and the ghosts that inhabit our intimate spaces. The result is a compelling, arresting and, at times, devastating collection not least in the title story, which was inspired by the tragic true events of the 1943 Cavan orphanage fire.Written with an exemplary eye for detail and an intimate understanding of the complexities of human nature, Jollys collection builds up towards the ultimate question: what is revealed of us when we peel away the surfaces, and is it enough?

We take our time in finding our way back to one another. How many more years will it take, I wonder?When I cross the old border, I sometimes feel at home, and at other times as though I have stepped into a different country.Countless times we have spoken, within the family and among friends, about the reasons for this recurring sensation, yet we have never moved beyond tentative attempts at explanation.Told stories, not abstract or depersonalized, but lived and spoken, can help.Not only the one who has lived the life in question, but also the "other," the one who listens or reads. It is no simple task, yet to listen, and to allow the words to work upon oneself, is one possible path.Particularly for the older generation, ideologically entrenched, who endured the madness of division.And, in a quieter way, for the younger generation too, who must bear so many inherited truths.And yet, despite everything, life remains wonderfully compelling; without its fractures, its lessons would be quite different and I would not have wished to forgo them.Thus the audiobook A Sense of Life is precisely the kind of narrative that offers the deeper understanding we Germans so greatly need.
