Todxs tenemos un amor pendiente: #ElArteDeNegar

Todxs tenemos una historia de amor que no se dio y siempre nos preguntamos cómo hubiese sido ¿Y si tenemos la oportunidad de concretarla? ¿Qué viene después? Con un estilo único Angie nos cuenta en esta novela una historia de amores pendientes basada en sus propias vivencias. Esta es una de esas tantas historias que abandoné pero quedó latente, escondida en mi memoria bajo refranes populares, canciones pegadizas y apuntes de la facultad, y que aguardan pacientes para volver en el momento exacto en que las necesitamos. Si alguna vez sentiste que un simple objeto disparó una catarata de recuerdos que no sabías que tenías, si alguna vez tuviste taquicardia al pensar en alguien del pasado o si seguís preguntándote "¿Qué hubiera pasado si no nos hubiéramos alejado?", entonces esta historia es para vos. Porque a veces para resolver el presente no necesitamos inventar fórmulas nuevas sino conectar con nuestro pasado. En muchas ocasiones, las respuestas están más cerca de lo que creemos, pero las negamos, porque aceptar implica hacernos cargo de que en algún momento nos desviamos del camino, dejando a nuestro paso, historias inconclusas. Y lo que no se concluye... queda pendiente.

Tokyo Woes: A Novel

In this laugh-out-loud travelogue, an average American man journeys to a country unlike any other: 1980s Japan Early one morning, Mike Halsey leaves his sleeping girlfriend and his house deep in the woods to go out and buy the morning paper. His favorite deli is closed, so he keeps driving and winds up on an unfamiliar lakeside road. Then it hits him: the old wanderlust. The last time it struck, he ended up on the coast of Finland. This time, Mike heads east--to Japan. He doesn't like sushi all that much and has no idea what he'll do when he arrives. Luckily, he makes a new friend on the plane. Bill Atenabe invites Mike to stay with his family in Tokyo--"We've got plenty of room by Japanese standards," he claims--and the two pals are soon sampling all that makes the Land of the Rising Sun unique, from Peeping Tom tours to department store attendants who dust you off before you step into an elevator to computers with a sense of irony. Mike quickly discovers, however, that not all is as happy as it seems in the Atenabe household. Bill's wife is having an affair with a bamboo salesman, his son wants to give up a promising academic career to become a talent scout for a modeling agency, and his war-hero father is being forced into retirement. When Bill contemplates an act of desperation, Mike talks some good old American common sense into his friend and discovers the real reason for his own journey to Japan. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Bruce Jay Friedman including rare photos from the author's personal collection.

Tom Jones: Ou, Histoire D'un Enfant Trouvé, Volume 4 (Dover Thrift Editions)

When Squire Allworthy returns from London to discover a sleeping baby of unknown parentage in his bed, Tom Jones makes its rollicking start toward a picaresque journey across eighteenth-century England. Its foundling hero, having grown to young manhood and developed a passion for the girl next door, finds himself banished from the squire's country estate by the contrivance of a romantic rival. Lusty, good-hearted Tom is thus compelled to seek his fortune far from home and, ultimately, in the company of soldiers, thieves, whores, and other vividly drawn characters. One of the first and most influential novels, Tom Jones was an instant sensation upon its publication in 1749. Henry Fielding's masterpiece of wit, written in a mock-epic style that parallels Tom's adventures with episodes from classical mythology, offers an exuberant panorama of eighteenth-century life. Beloved for its bawdy humor and adroit social commentary, the novel has been adapted many times for stage and screen and ranks among English literature's greatest comedies.

Tommy Doc: The Controversial and Colourful Life of One of Football's Most Dominant Personalities

Tommy ‘The Doc’ Docherty was a combative Scotland international wing-half who became a brilliant but erratic manager. His 1960s Chelsea team was a glorious reflection of his colourful personality, and a decade later he reinvented his relegated Manchester United side as a vibrant attacking force.He was also, however, a hostage to his own decision-making, costing Chelsea a shot at the First Division title when he banned eight players for breaking their curfew. Most famously, he was fired by United after FA Cup glory because he’d fallen in love with the physiotherapist’s wife. He was a much-travelled manager, and ‘I’ve had more clubs than Jack Nicklaus’ was among the well-worn one-liners that created the image of ‘The Doc’ as football’s stand-up comedian. But in Tommy Doc, David Tossell looks beyond the wisecracks, interviewing Docherty himself, as well as former players and colleagues, to examine a remarkable career and reveal the personal heartaches behind the laughter.
