Matt Williams, Radio 2 Book Club 'Abundant in humour, history and humanity' Sunday Telegraph 'Wistful, whimsical and wry.' Sunday Express On 21 June 1922 Count Alexander Rostov - recipient of the Order of Saint Andrew, member of the Jockey Club, Master of the Hunt - is escorted out of the Kremlin, across Red Square and through the elegant revolving doors of the Hotel Metropol. But instead of being taken to his usual suite, he is led to an attic room with a window the size of a chessboard. Deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the Count has been sentenced to house arrest indefinitely. While Russia undergoes decades of tumultuous upheaval, the Count, stripped of the trappings that defined his life, is forced to question what makes us who we are. And with the assistance of a glamorous actress, a cantankerous chef and a very serious child, Rostov unexpectedly discovers a new understanding of both pleasure and purpose.

Ellos murieron en un accidente automovilístico pero dejaron una hija que fue el comienzo de la segunda generación y su nombre fue Martha. La pusieron en una casa de adopción y ella fue adoptada en dos ocasiones. Terminando criándose en una institución de niños huérfanos y abandonados.

Ella murió en el hospital de complicaciones de su anterior embarazo. Entonces, el niño, al nacer vino siendo la tercera generación.

El niño se escapó de la institución a la edad de doce años. Y si ustedes quieren saber todas las demás escenas existentes que ocurrieron en el transcurso del libro tendrán que leer el libro.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The celebrated Springbok rugby hero Joost van der Westhuizen and his wife, the singer Amor Vittone, were a glamorous couple who captured the imagination of many South Africans. Known as their country’s own ‘Posh and Becks’, they were blessed with success, fame, public adulation and an apparently happy marriage. Until a shock report appeared on the front page of a local Sunday newspaper about a sex video ... In this book, the well-known journalist, and a personal friend and confidante of the Van der Westhuizens, Gavin Prins, now recounts the story behind the story – one that has never been published before. Prins, who broke the sex-video scandal on the front page of Rapport, chronicles how a simple farm boy who had become a national rugby hero met the woman of his dreams and married her, only to fall from grace in the most publicly humiliating way possible. With his confession came a measure of redemption – until he was brought to his knees by a life-threatening illness ... Hard-hitting, often shocking but ultimately uplifting, this is the true story behind the sensational headlines that have dogged South Africa’s most high-profile couple.

Recorre todas las etapas del amor y va dedicado a todos aqullos que aman, que amaron o que amarn un da y que, seguramente hallarn, al menos en alguno de sus poemas, ntidamente reflejado, su dilema de amor. Y es que la poesa, a juicio del autor, es como una foto que se tira a un estado de nimo; el momento, ya sea alegre o triste, pasa, pero quedar para siempre plasmado ah, en el verso, para que no slo los protagonistas, sino todos aqullos que alguna vez lo lean, puedan sentir lo mismo que, en su momento, sinti el poeta y, hasta quizs, conmovidos y apresados en la mgica urdimbre del poema, lleguen a conocer el por qu sonrisa y lgrima, pueden llegar a ser ptalos de una misma flor.

John Ortberg descorre las cortinas que cubren este concepto erróneo para revelar lo que siempre usted ha esperado y lo que siempre ha sabido que es verdad: El amor de Dios es un amor que va más allá de la razón. Y está esperando para fluir a su vida con una gracia que puede transformarle a usted y a los que le rodean.

Book excerpt: "The ""Cort d'Amor"" is a late 12th-century allegorical romance in Occitan which fuses a variety of lyric and narrative genres together and which predates the ""Roman de la Rose"" by some 50 years. In this edition, Matthew Bardell highlights the work's intertextuality with Andreas Capellanus' ""De Amore"" to show how the Occitan work presents a dialogue between gendered approaches to love whilst parodying the exegetical tradition. It juxtaposes lyric passages with some of the standard Ovidian teaching on love and undermines the reader's attempts to distinguish between the two. This volume has a facing English translation and aims to make an important contribution to the study of medieval allegory and courtly love in general, as well as to the dissemination of Ovid in the Middle Ages and the narrative transformations of Old French and Occitan lyric."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una Obra de Amor es acerca de Dios trabajando para construir un puente de amor puro para que sus hijos perdidos y moribundos puedan cruzar y volver a casa para vivir con Él para siempre. Cualquier padre que haya perdido a un niño, movería el cielo y la tierra para llevarlos a casa, donde pertenecen, y Dios lo ha hecho. Este libro trata de todos nuestros viajes como pecadores perdidos y víctimas y cómo podemos convertirnos en hijos salvos, santos y vencedores. Es acerca de cómo encontrar nuestra propia identidad en la luz, de cuanto personalmente nuestro Padre celestial nos ama. Nos ama tan intensamente que es imposible para la mente humana comprender cuán amplio y profundo es ese amor verdaderamente. Se trata de encontrar nuestro verdadero valor, ya que somos una obra maestra completa del creador del universo para ser perfectamente imperfectos para un momento como éste. Dios nos ha dado a cada uno de nosotros un propósito especial y una misión que sólo nosotros podemos lograr. Este libro pone al descubierto las falsas enseñanzas del cristianismo moderno y señala a todos de vuelta a la verdadera fuente de la verdad que es la palabra de Dios y pinta una verdadera imagen de lo que debe ser la iglesia que Jesús construyó. El apóstol Pablo escribió: "si alguien, incluso un ángel del cielo, enseñara una doctrina otra que fue enseñada originalmente, que sea anatema" (Gálatas 1:8 - 9). ¡Conoce la verdad y te liberará! Jesús dijo: "¡Mis ovejas conocen mi voz y me siguen!" ¿Estás siguiendo a Jesús o a las tradiciones de los hombres y lo que ellos afirman es la verdad? Este libro declara el verdadero proceso de salvación como fue establecido desde el primer día en que comenzó la iglesia que Jesús construyó. No se les dice toda la verdad y nada más que la verdad acerca de la iglesia de Jesús. La mayoría de las gentes no sabe qué creer, otros no creen nada o se lo creen todo, pero ahora tu puede saber con certeza cuál es realmente la verdad. Dentro de la portada de estas páginas, tu aprenderás cómo la mente humana opera tanto la mente subconsciente y consciente. Aprenderás a descubrir la verdad sobre ti mismo si eres lo suficientemente valiente como para querer saber la verdad. También descubrirás cómo el estrés post- traumático puede afectarnos y cómo recuperarse de él. El amor es el súper pegamento, la cinta adhesiva que cura todas las heridas. Imagínese envuelto en una manta del amor insondable de Dios. Su vida puede cambiar drásticamente para mejor si tu abrieras toda tu mente y corazón a la verdad del Evangelio de Jesucristo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love in many premodern cultures extended to and permeated the world or even the cosmos, but love in contemporary consumerist society tends to be sexualized, romanticized, and individualized. As a result, ancient visions of ethical love are difficult for moderns to comprehend, especially those rooted in premodern Western thought, or Native American thinkers that describe a love of the natural world that would help us live more responsibly on the Earth. This volume retrieves the significant narratives of love of the world and the concomitant ethical ramifications of those visions and argues that our age of science and technology has destroyed the ancient, living cosmos of previous visions and replaced it with a mechanical universe. This shift has resulted in various forms of destruction, diminishment, and forgetfulness. Overcoming modern world alienation requires recovering a sense of what it means to love the world and changing our practices to reflect our interconnection with it and our interdependency on it.
