Mansfield Park: The Illustrated Edition
by Jane AustenThis special edition of Mansfield Park includes the famous illustrations by Henry Matthew Brock, originally created in 1898. Brock and his brothers were all successful illustrators of the day and often posed for each other using costumes, props and furniture in their Cambridge studio. Brock's older brother Charles joined him in illustrating other Jane Austen releases for this set of 1898 editions. Mansfield Park is Jane Austen's version of a Cinderella story. Fanny Price is a poor relation living with her rich uncle and aunt, Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram, and their children. Edmund, the second son, is the only one who treats her with kindness and they develop a strong bond, until the dashing Henry Crawford and his lovely sister Mary come to visit. The Crawfords are outwardly charming, but their indifferent upbringing leaves them unable to distinguish right from wrong, and Fanny must watch her beloved Edmund almost fall into Mary's trap. Fanny Price is meek and mild, and unfailingly good. When the Crawfords introduce risky activities into her social set, she tries to prevent disaster, but the production of a play leads all the members of the family astray and Edmund almost falls irretrievably in love with the beautiful Mary. Fanny watches with trepidation and much pain, until Edmund's own high sense of morality brings him to the right conclusions about which is the better woman, on the inside.
Mansfield Park: The Wild and Wanton Edition, Volume 1
by Jane Austen Nina MitchellWhen she is 10 years old, Fanny Price is sent from her poor and large family to Mansfield Park, where she is to be raised by her wealthy aunt and uncle, Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram. Though she grows up in the same home as her four older cousins, she is often treated as a poor and ignorant relation, similar to a servant, and is not afforded the same advances into society as her more privileged relatives.But there is one among her relations who treats her as an equal. Edmund is the second son and the kind-hearted soul of the family. It is not long before Fanny's childhood appreciation of Edmund's kindness is transformed into a romantic love more suited to the young woman she's become. But the fashionably wealthy and attractive brother and sister, Henry and Mary Crawford, arrive at Mansfield and create turmoil for the entire Bertram family - Mary falls for Edward, and Henry falls for all of the female cousins, though he tries to convince Fanny (and himself) that his heart belongs only to her. Will any hearts be spared?Though often described as the least romantic of Austen's six novels, Mansfield Park comes to life when Fanny's true romantic and passionate nature is revealed. Indeed before Edmund's eyes Fanny's passion and beauty surpasses that of her new and sophisticated friend, Miss Crawford. And it appears that the overly moralistic Edmund has some untapped passion of his own. Can the pursuit of pleasure be enough to bring this romance to a new level?Sensuality Level: Sensual

Manslaughter Park (Jane Austen Murder Mysteries #3)
by Tirzah PriceIn this queer retelling of the classic novel and third book in Tirzah Price's Jane Austen Murder Mystery series, Mansfield Park is the center of a deadly accident (or is it?). Perfect for fans of the Lady Janies and Stalking Jack the Ripper. Aspiring artist Fanny Price is an unwelcome guest at her uncle Sir Thomas Bertram’s estate. It’s his affection for Fanny that’s keeping her from being forced out by her cousins Tom and Maria and nasty Aunt Norris, back to a home to which she never wants to return. But then Sir Thomas dies in a tragic accident inside his art emporium, and Fanny finds evidence of foul play that, if revealed, could further jeopardize her already precarious position.Edmund, her best friend and secret crush, urges Fanny to keep quiet about her discovery, but Fanny can’t ignore the truth: a murderer is among them.Determined to find the killer, Fanny’s pursuit for justice has her wading into the Bertram family business, uncovering blackmail, and brushing with London’s high society when Henry and Mary Crawford arrive at Mansfield Park with an audacious business proposal. But a surprising twist of fate—and the help of local legends Lizzie Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy—brings Fanny more complications than she ever expected and a life-altering realization about herself she never saw coming.“Pride and Premeditation is a romantic and entertaining page-turner, sure to delight readers of any genre.” —Kerri Maniscalco, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stalking Jack the Ripper series

Non mi sarei legata alla promessa che lui aveva intenzione di mantenere. Quando aprì le porte del suo cuore sapevamo entrambi a cosa saremmo andati in contro.Non saprei descrivere quello che c'era tra di noi. I nostri corpi parlavano. A volte, pensavo non ci fosse altro da dire. Questa è una storia d'amore con un rating scottante quanto il chili, destinato soltanto ai maggiori di 18 anni.

Manuscrito hallado en la calle Sócrates
by Rupert RankeEl debut de un enigmático autor suizo: una fascinante historia de intriga y amor en el corazón de Grecia. Un juego borgeano de cajas chinas. «Rey Rosa descubre con esta novela a un escritor sin huellas, ni sombra, ni casi referencias, pero autor de una historia insólita y poderosa donde pasión, tragedia y melancolía arden en todas direcciones. [...]. Si en literatura algo trae el eco de Rey Rosa, merece ser llamado literatura.»Antonio Lucas En Atenas, ciudad en la que Rodrigo Rey Rosa reside actualmente, Teodora Jaramillo de Quirós, una turista guatemalteca, reconoce a su compatriota y le presenta a su acompañante, Rupert Ranke, un hasta el momento desconocido autor suizo que llevará al autor de Severina y El material humano a su piso de la capital griega para incitarlo a editar este libro. Hasta aquí la historia de un afortunado hallazgo editorial; vayamos ahora ala novela: Ranke, historiador de la cultura clásica y guía turístico, no tarda en quedar cautivado por el encanto de la bella Teodora, de viaje por Grecia con su marido, y su melancólica obsesión por El pequeño refugiado, una escultura de mármol que ha visto en el Museo Arqueológico de Atenas y que es el vivo retrato de su hijo, desaparecido misteriosamente a los cuatro años. La crítica ha dicho...«Rey Rosa descubre con esta novela a un escritor sin huellas, ni sombra, ni casi referencias, pero autor de una historia insólita y poderosa donde pasión, tragedia y melancolía arden en todas direcciones. Rey Rosa es un maestro de la fuga, aunque aquí solo es el mensajero de un autor enigmático y de una novela hecha de pasión, melancolías y desapariciones con Grecia como revelación, como destino. Si en literatura algo trae el eco de Rey Rosa, merece ser llamado literatura.»Antonio Lucas «El manuscrito de un suizo alemán contiene el cuentode un griego argentino y refiere las aventuras de unos guatemaltecos a quienes la pandemia detiene en Atenas tras un glorioso periplo por la Hélade. El fantasma de un hijo perdido es reencontrado en la estatuilla de un museo arqueológico. Todo en este libro (¿casualmente?) respira el aliento del último novelista en lengua castellana, Rodrigo Rey Rosa: el último por su sentido de la aventura, de la invención, de los (cervantinos) pliegues de sus narraciones.»Edgardo Dobry «Un bello relato que mezcla una fábula y una historia de amor en torno a una escultura griega.»Lluís Morral, Librería Laie

Many a Green Isle
by Agnes Sligh TurnbullThe chief claim to importance of the town of Marsden is the presence in it of Marsden College, which has been educating the sons and daughters of solid, conservative citizens for almost a hundred years. It is a small college, neither rich nor famous, but with tradition and atmosphere and the background of a large and beautiful campus. As head of Marsden's Department of English, Gavin McAllister leads a busy and constructive life. Twenty years earlier he made the choice between romance and ambition and has never regretted his decision. Better--far better--marriage to Cecily and a job in an educational backwater than the Ph.D. which would have led to scholarly advancement. For fate has been kind to Gavin--an ideally happy marriage, four charming children, good friends, a sense of accomplishment in his profession. Even the coveted Ph.D. seems to be within reach. With all well at home, he has been able to save almost enough to enable him to take a year off from teaching and work on his dissertation. Suddenly, this quiet idyll is shattered by two strokes--independent of each other, yet remotely connected. Everything that Gavin has believed in and worked for is threatened: his family, his career, his position in the community. In his response to these threats and his refusal to compromise with what he feels to be wrong, Gavin shows the stuff he is made of. With courage and wisdom he and Cecily are able at last to emerge from "the deep wide sea of misery" and regain their own "green isle" of safety and happiness. This is a warm and charming story but it is more than that; for it has in it a profound conception of life's values which, we feel, will make many readers grateful to the author for having written it.

Mapping The Terrain Of The Heart: Passion, Tenderness, And The Capacity To Love
by David Wallin Stephen GoldbartIf you have read other books about love that have fallen short, read this book. Mapping the Terrain of the Heart is an eloquent guide through love's diverse landscapes that provides a whole new way to think about love relationships. Both descriptive and prescriptive, it is a book for anyone looking to experience a committed relationship full of passion and tenderness. In the labyrinth of love, every one of us has his or her own inner map. Psychologists Goldbart and Wallin lead us along the metaphorical superhighways on the map of love by charting six easily grasped skills―the six capacities of love―that are all necessary to a long-term, stable love relationship: the capacities for erotic involvement, for merging, for idealization, for integration, for "refinding," and for self-transcendence. The authors demonstrate in a very practical, hands-on way how individuals and couples can use these capacities to work on breaking down their usual defenses and grow toward a deeper understanding and connection. In defending ourselves against disappointment in love, we frequently―and often unknowingly―throw up obstacles, create roadblocks, and take detours around these six capacities. We think such detours will take us where we want to go in a relationship, but too often they do not. Goldbart and Wallin's sophisticated but accessible approach―using case studies and practical pointers throughout―based on solid psycho-analytic theory while creating a completely new model for love relationships that also makes intuitive sense. Mapping the Terrain of the Heart offers a comprehensive psychology of love that maps out the paths to a successful relationship and shows how both individuals and couples can progress toward that ever-elusive goal of lasting and passionate love.
