The Erotic Fire of the Unattainable: Aphorisms on Love, Art, and the Vicissitudes of Life
by Gay WalleyThe Erotic Fire of the Unattainable has a subtle narrative wherein author Gay Walley weaves love with life, art with making a living, and inspiration with the banal realities of daily life. The book shows how passion is to be found in every moment, none the least in a passion for independence. Beginning with "Why Women Fight Pirates," Walley covers such disparate topics as "The Disappointments of Infidelity," "Talk in Love," "Writers," "Work and its Punishments," "The Importance of the Argument," "The Ocean," "New York," and ends on "Deathbed."This unflinching narrative is a journey through an artist's mind, taking us outside the usual confines, to lovers and ex-husbands, traveling, solitude, money and the importance of rebellion.
A Espia Real (Her Royal Spyness #Volumen 1)
by RHYS BOWENO primeiro volume de uma nova série de cosy crime com um toque de regency que vai deliciar os leitores e que todos vão querer conhecer! O seu nome completo é Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie (Georgie para os amigos), filha do duque de Glen Garry e Rannoch. Em 34.° lugar na linha de sucessão ao trono, aprendeu pouquíssimas coisas úteis na vida, entre as quais como fazer uma vénia perfeita. E está completamente falida.Quando o irmão lhe corta o rendimento e a tenta convencer a casar com um príncipe romeno «com cara de peixe», Georgie vê-se forçada a abandonar a Escócia e a fugir para Londres, onde: 1 - trabalha ao balcão de uma loja de cosméticos, para de lá ser despedida cinco horas depois; 2 - se apaixona por um muito inapropriado membro menor da realeza (tão falido quanto ela);3 - arranja algum dinheiro como empregada doméstica (incógnita, claro); 4 - finalmente, é convocada pela Rainha de Inglaterra para ser espia do seu filho mais velho, o príncipe de Gales. Como se não bastasse tudo isto, o francês arrogante que reivindicara a posse da propriedade ancestral da família de Georgie aparece morto na sua banheira. Agora, o trabalho mais importante que tem pela frente é tentar limpar o comprido nome de família. Os elogios da crítica: «Brilhante e muito mais do que um policial. Combina uma história de amor, comentários sociais, humor e perigo. E é maravilhoso.» - Louise Penny «Uma heroína cativante, personagens peculiares e muita diversão. Os disparates e loucuras de Georgie deixarão o leitor ansioso pelo próximo livro da série.» - Publishers Weekly«Rhys Bowen, vencedora do Agatha Award, apresenta-nos uma protagonista fantástica. A melhor parte é a evocação da Inglaterra dos anos 1930 e o retrato vívido de como seria o quotidiano de uma jovem mulher que queria ir contra a tradição, no período entre duas guerras mundiais. Incrivelmente divertido.» - Booklist «A boa disposição de Georgie e a prosa leve e divertida da autora são absolutamente viciantes.» - The Denver Post«Uma combinação perspicaz de mistério, sátira e comédia.» - Jacqueline Winspear «Personagens maravilhosas... Uma delícia.» - Charlaine Harris «O livro perfeito para os viciados em Downton Abbey.» - Deborah Crombie
