"When will I wake up and listen?"This is the question posed by the lyrical narrator in one of the poems contained in this book. All of the poems in this volume deal with this question to a greater or lesser extent. What is the happiness that so many people seek? Where can it be found? Is the very fact of asking this question already a hint at finding it? Because perhaps the only thing we need is a different perspective on the things we deal with every day.I hope that these poems will be a source of inspiration for you, inviting a touch of magic into your everyday life and experiences!

Narrated in the form of a dialogue, the character "Counselor" tells a friend about his platonic passion for Quintília, the most coveted single woman in the city of Rio de Janeiro, who suffered from a terrible aversion to marriage. The friendship between the couple, which arose after a bet between the Counselor and his work colleague Joo Nobrega, fuels the protagonists illusory hopes of declaring his love for the girl and, ultimately, marrying her. In this short story, Machado de Assis ironizes the institution of marriage, playing with the power of passion and desire.

Explore the intersection of the Bible with Indigenous traditions. Delve deeply into the stories of Scripture alongside the complex histories of Indigenous communities in North America.

Tara Selter is no longer alone.Tara Selter has lived the eighteenth of November 1,143 times when she notices a break in the pattern: a man has changed his shirt. The man is Henry Dale, and he remembers all the days that have come before. He knows that time has fallen out of joint. Now they are two of a kind - trapped in the eighteenth of November, but no longer alone.Together they learn to share their present; their voices grow hoarse recounting their small battles against it and their bewilderment at the disintegrating world. Henry sees things differently to Tara: he does not think that time will put itself back together and he does not think that the future will come around. But he makes her realise that she is no longer the same person she was before this fault in time.

Then one day her bedroom door swings open to reveal McGreevy, an IRA terrorist on a bloody crusade, who has chosen her isolated house for sanctuary.

From childhood, Christopher Miles was fascinated by celluloid. This love of the moving image announced itself early: he was just 17 when the BBC screened his first film in 1957. To be a filmmaker, Miles had to sidestep parental plans to enrol him in the family steelworks. He had already been filming in communist China and Argentina when he escaped to Paris where he made his first professional film. Later, working mostly in Europe and America, Miles made a string of intriguing and unusual films, two exploring his obsession with D.H. Lawrence, others bringing works by Jean Anouilh and Jean Genet to the big screen. He writes revealingly of his relationship with his father, of whether he is related to the royal family, and of the host of key figures in the film industry he worked with. Among the stars of his films are Ian McKellen, Ava Gardner, John Gielgud, Susannah York, Franco Nero and Charlotte Rampling. This compelling account goes behind the scenes, setting the films in context and giving the reader a very personal view of contemporary film-making.

The UK edition retailed at seven shillings and sixpence (7/6) and the US edition at $1.75.The book introduces the characters of Tommy and Tuppence who feature in three other Christie novels and one collection of short stories; the five Tommy and Tuppence books span Agatha Christies writing career.

The Murder on the Links is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie, first published in the US by Dodd, Mead & Co in March 1923, and in the UK by The Bodley Head in May of the same year. It is the second novel featuring Hercule Poirot and Arthur Hastings. The UK edition retailed at seven shillings and sixpence (7/6), and the US edition at $1.75.The story takes place in northern France, giving Poirot a hostile competitor from the Paris Surete. Poirots long memory for past or similar crimes proves useful in resolving the crimes. The book is notable for a subplot in which Hastings falls in love, a development "greatly desired on Agathas part... parcelling off Hastings to wedded bliss in the Argentine."Reviews when it was published compared Mrs Christie favourably to Arthur Conan Doyle in his Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Remarking on Poirot, still a new character, one reviewer said he was "a pleasant contrast to most of his lurid competitors; and one even suspects a touch of satire in him."
