Fault Lines
by Anna SalterDrawing on her real-life expertise as a forensic psychologist to create "a crackling, suspenseful mystery" (Andrew Vachss), Anna Salter debuted an unforgettable heroine, Dr. Michael Stone, in Shiny Water. Now, in a thrilling new novel, Michael Stone deciphers the twisted logic of a sexual predator -- and crosses into deadly territory. A devastatingly violent attack has left one of Michael Stone's clients paralyzed by fear; her only security is the attack dog who never leaves her side. Michael has her own self-protection: even when she steps into the hot tub on the deck of her sparse A-frame house in the Vermont woods, she takes her gun. Michael has learned the hard way that her profession invites danger: she's a forensic psychologist -- an expert in analyzing and, in a perfect world, outsmarting the criminal mind. But some deviants will never be understood or rehabilitated -- like the purely evil perpetrator who has crossed Michael's path before. Alex B. Willy is a sadistic child molester, a man of monstrous deeds and chilling obsessions. Attempting to profile the psychological makeup of a molester, Michael glimpsed the darkness within through her interviews with the incarcerated Willy; flattered by her attention, he had disclosed the modus operandi of a pedophile, and even boasted about his crimes on audiotape. Now, his thirty-year sentence suddenly cut short, Alex Willy has been granted a retrial and is sprung from prison. And the one person who threatens his freedom, who knows the depths of his sickness and his seamless lies, is Michael Stone. Her friends want to hide her, while Michael -- gutsy, aggressive, and fiercely protective of her privacy -- feels safety lies in evading her stalker on her own terms. With horrifying brilliance, Willy has devised an even better way to get to Michael. Invading her professional world, Willy taunts her with malevolent e-mail messages and an intimate knowledge of her clients. Moving in her shadow but always two steps ahead, Alex B. Willy soon targets Michael's guarded personal life, delving along the fault lines of her psyche -- and setting her up for a chilling coup de grace. As authentic as a case file, and as relentless as a nightmare, Fault Lines firmly places Anna Salter alongside Patricia Cornwell and Jonathan Kellerman in a master class of top-notch psychological suspense writers.
Faust
by Baron Alexander DeschauerStell dir eine Existenz ohne Himmel oder Hölle vor. Ohne Götter oder Dämonen. Allein bestimmt durch unsere Gedanken und unseren freien Willen. In einer Existenz wie dieser ist alles Leben miteinander verbunden und interagiert auf einer höheren Ebene des Bewusstseins. Im Gegensatz zu Marlowe und Goethe präsentiert Deschauer eine Kosmologie und Form der Existenz, die beides ist: Individuell und kollektiv, Leib und Seele. Die Willensfreiheit trifft auf das Schicksal, die Sterblichkeit auf die Unsterblichkeit. Es ist der Versuch das Auftreten Gottes gegenüber der Menschheit in einer Existenz, in der es keinen Gott gibt, darzulegen. Bislang noch wird das unumstößliche Konstrukt eines Gottes, Anti-Gottes und eines Mythos Gottes von der Menschheit, auf der Suche nach dem Sinn ihres Daseins, akzeptiert. IST DIE LIEBE DER SINN DES LEBENS? ODER IST ES DIE WILLENSFREIHEIT? ODER DIE UNSTERBLICHKEIT?
Faust, Joe et les amants
by Baron Alexander Deschauer BakrimUn autre Faust diriez-vous ? Pas nécessairement quand ce livre ajoute une dimension plus narrative et plus contemporaine à la problématique de Goethe et de Marlowe, revisitée sous un angle bien particulier. Ce récit romanesque s'offre comme l'authenticité d'une expérience fictionnelle qui s'ouvre sur son versant fantastique, ancrée dans un miracle mythique et contemporain à la fois : celui des retrouvailles amoureuses d'un couple qui suscite l'empathie et soulève parfois un double malentendu : celui de Jessie/Tom et celui du lecteur. C'est dans ce malentendu ou dans cette ambiguïté que réside le retour éternel de Faust : le déchirement sous-jacent à la certitude/absurdité de la mort. Baron Deschauer a su exploiter les potentialités de cette absurdité, de l'âme vendue, des notions de fin, d'attente et de libre-arbitre. Un chef d'oeuvre se cacherait peut-être dans les plis des histoires qui articulent ce récit élégant et un tantinet effrayant. En outre, de belles perles littéraires : le jeu narratif bien maîtrisé du démon appelé, la répétition du récit familial et le personnage flou et omniprésent de Joe, toujours proche des âmes sensibles. ''Bonjour, Lecteur !'' ça y est, vous y êtes ! Au secours de la littérature !
Faust: A Tragedy, Part I
by Eugene Stelzig Johann Wolfgang van GoetheGoethe is the most famous German author, and the poetic drama Faust, Part I (1808) is his best-known work, one that stands in the company of other leading canonical works of European literature such as Dante’s Inferno and Shakespeare’s Hamlet. This is the first new translation into English since David Constantine’s 2005 version. Why another translation when there are several currently in print? To invoke Goethe’s own authority when speaking of his favorite author, Shakespeare, Goethe asserts that so much has already been said about the poet-dramatist “that it would seem there’s nothing left to say,” but adds, “yet it is the peculiar attribute of the spirit that it constantly motivates the spirit.” Goethe’s great dramatic poem continues to speak to us in new ways as we and our world continually change, and thus a new or updated translation is always necessary to bring to light Faust’s almost inexhaustible, mysterious, and enchanting poetic and cultural power. Eugene Stelzig’s new translation renders the text of the play in clear and crisp English for a contemporary undergraduate audience while at the same time maintaining its leading poetic features, including the use of rhyme.

Faust: Un "Faust" moderno
by Baron Alexander DeschauerIMMAGINATE UN'ESISTENZA SENZA PARADISO O INFERNO. Niente dei o demoni. Solo i nostri pensieri e il libero arbitrio. In questa esistenza, tutta la vita è interconnessa ed interagisce con una coscienza superiore. A differenza di Marlowe e Goethe, Deschauer presenta una cosmologia ed un'esistenza che sono sia individuali che generali, carne ed anima. Il libero arbitrio si scontra con il destino, il mortale con l'immortale. Punta a spiegare al genere umano le vie del Signore in un'esistenza priva di Dio. Eppure l'inevitabile costrutto di Dio, anti-Dio e mito è accettato dall'umanità nella sua ricerca di un senso all'interno della nostra realtà. E' LAMORE IL SIGNIFICATO DELLA VITA? IL LIBERO ARBITRIO? O L'IMMORTALITA'?
Fausto
by Baron Alexander Deschauer Leandro SirianiIMAGINE UMA EXISTÊNCIA SEM CÉU OU INFERNO. Sem deuses ou demônios. Apenas nossos pensamentos e livre-arbítrio. Nessa existência, toda vida está interligada e interativa com uma consciência superior. Ao contrário de Marlowe e Goethe, Deschauer apresenta uma cosmologia e existência que são ambas individuais e completas, corpo e alma. O livre-arbítrio choca-se com o destino, o mortal com o imortal. Procura justificar os caminhos de Deus para a humanidade em uma existência desprovida de Deus. No entanto, a construção inescapável de Deus, anti-Deus e mito é abraçada pela humanidade em sua busca para encontrar sentido dentro de nossa realidade. SERIA O AMOR O SENTIDO DA VIDA? O LIVRE-ARBÍTRIO? OU A IMORTALIDADE?

Aún las inevitables construcciones de dios, anti-dios y mito son abrazadas por la humanidad en su búsqueda de sentido dentro de nuestra realidad. ¿ES EL AMOR EL SIGNIFICADO DE LA VIDA, EL ALBEDRÍO O LA INMORTALIDAD?

Fear and Nature: Ecohorror Studies in the Anthropocene (AnthropoScene)
by Christy Tidwell Carter SolesEcohorror represents human fears about the natural world—killer plants and animals, catastrophic weather events, and disquieting encounters with the nonhuman. Its portrayals of animals, the environment, and even scientists build on popular conceptions of zoology, ecology, and the scientific process. As such, ecohorror is a genre uniquely situated to address life, art, and the dangers of scientific knowledge in the Anthropocene.Featuring new readings of the genre, Fear and Nature brings ecohorror texts and theories into conversation with other critical discourses. The chapters cover a variety of media forms, from literature and short fiction to manga, poetry, television, and film. The chronological range is equally varied, beginning in the nineteenth century with the work of Edgar Allan Poe and finishing in the twenty-first with Stephen King and Guillermo del Toro. This range highlights the significance of ecohorror as a mode. In their analyses, the contributors make explicit connections across chapters, question the limits of the genre, and address the ways in which our fears about nature intersect with those we hold about the racial, animal, and bodily “other.”A foundational text, this volume will appeal to specialists in horror studies, Gothic studies, the environmental humanities, and ecocriticism.In addition to the editors, the contributors include Kristen Angierski, Bridgitte Barclay, Marisol Cortez, Chelsea Davis, Joseph K. Heumann, Dawn Keetley, Ashley Kniss, Robin L. Murray, Brittany R. Roberts, Sharon Sharp, and Keri Stevenson.
