Il dottor Jody Williams sta ricevendo dei segnali davvero contraddittori. Non può ignorare quanto desidera Clark, perché è ovvio che il giocatore prova lo stesso per lui. Per il medico, gay dichiarato e orgoglioso di esserlo, la soluzione sembra molto semplice. Per Clark, invece, non lo è. Il suo mondo non è tollerante e gli ostacoli che ha affrontato lo hanno portato a negare la sua sessualità per anni. È il Super Bowl dei disastri, non importa da che punto di vista lo si guardi. Alla fine, Clark deve decidere se continuare con l'unica vita che ha sempre conosciuto o se cogliere l'occasione di viverne una nuova con Jody.
Orlando: A Biography (El Libro De Bolsillo Alianza Editorial Ser. #Vol. 0735)
by Virginia WoolfOrlando is one of the most unforgettable creations of twentieth-century literature. He emerges as a young man at the court of Queen Elizabeth I and progresses, with breathtaking ease, through three centuries until, by now a woman, she arrives in the bustle and diversion of the 1920s. for Virginia Woolf, a leading figure of the Bloomsbury Group, Orlando was more than a fantastic flight of imagination.

Orlando's journey, from wondrous youth barbed by love, to fêted writer, settled in her femininity, is a wild and curiously relevant fable for our times.

Oro viejo (Matices #Volumen 2)
by Alba M. VilaRobert necesitaba alzar la voz. Brian solo debía callar un poco para escucharla. Yo sé lo que tú quieres. Venga, no disimules. Vienes aquí con la esperanza de ver a dos tíos buenorros enamorándose, paseando de la mano por la ciudad y teniendo citas en los sitios más románticos que encuentren. Que haya drama, pero que sepan solucionarlo sin gritos histéricos y se juren amor eterno homosexual y coman perdices entre otras cosas. Pues ¿sabes qué? Aquí no te vas a encontrar nada de eso. Que no, palabrita del tito Brian. Esto es un rollazo de cómo hice por tercera vez el examen de matemáticas. Nada interesante. Así que yo que tú haría de mejor uso de esos dos euritos que estás a punto de gastarte y me compraría una bolsa de chuches. O un bolígrafo de los que se borran. O un pack de stickers con la cara de tus cantantes de BTS favoritos (te tengo calado, ¿eh? Soy un fiera).En resumen, aquí no hay nada que ver, así que circulen. Con amor (y un pelín de mala hostia), B.P.D.: Disculpad a Brian, está un poco arisco porque no se ha tomado el café de la mañana. Ahora deambula por la casa en busca de la cafetera (que le he dicho tres veces que está en el lavavajillas). En fin, espero que os guste nuestra historia. Hemos luchado mucho por encontrar nuestro final feliz, aunque sea muy poco ortodoxo. Que disfrutéis,Robert Edward Black.
Oronooko: The Royal Slave
by Aphra BehnI do not pretend, in giving you the history of this Royal Slave, to entertain my reader with adventures of a feigned hero, whose life and fortunes fancy may manage at the poet's pleasure; nor in relating the truth, design to adorn it with any accidents but such as arrived in earnest to him: and it shall come simply into the world, recommended by its own proper merits and natural intrigues; there being enough of reality to support it, and to render it diverting, without the addition of invention.
Oroonoko
by Aphra BehnThe bestselling story by a legendary female writer--a tale of love, slavery, and rebellion.When Prince Oroonoko's passion for the virtuous Imoinda arouses the jealousy of his grandfather, the lovers are cast into slavery and transported from Africa to the colony of Surinam. Oroonoko's noble bearing soon wins the respect of his English captors, but his struggle for freedom brings about his destruction.One of the most influential English novels in history, Aphra Behn's Oroonoko was the first book to express sympathy for African slaves. Based partly on Behn's childhood in Suriname, Oroonoko depicts the love of Prince Oroonoko, the grandson of an African king, for Imoinda, the daughter of the king's top general. She refuses to leave Oroonoko to become the king's wife, and dies in his arms. Renowned for the respect and tenderness Behn gave each of her characters, this is the best-remembered work by the author.
