One Last Summer Before the Revolution
by Anna PeichevaNature was the first to rebel. The summer of 1916 roared with thunderstorms, wind in the face, and icy rain from the sky. But people barely noticed the weather. War was on everyone's lips, interfering with creativity, study, love, life, dividing society into two camps. Revolution already loomed in the electrified air; yet the Tsar, who had unleashed the war, did not notice. He trusted his own newspapers, followed battles in the movies, and worried most about his family... Here is a documentary cross-section of the epoch through the letters, emotions, and thoughts of the participants; but we also rise above the fray - the finest threads connecting all our heroes are especially visible from above: from the emperor to the poet, from the military doctor to the poor peasant woman. These threads intertwined into the fuse of the future revolution, ignited by the summer lightning of 1916. The book is inspired by the work of German writer Florian Illies "1913: The Summer of the Century."

Le cadeau
by Julie HodgsonUne fantaisie humoristique pour les fêtes de fin d'année. Le cadeau (attention à ce que vous souhaitez) Joe est le fan numéro un de Noël. Il adore cette fête et a hâte de la passer avec sa femme, Beth, à faire ce qu'ils aiment le plus : manger des tartelettes à la viande, boire du vin chaud, rire et se blottir l'un contre l'autre pendant que la télévision diffuse It's a Wonderful Life (La vie est belle). Cependant, Beth a une idée un peu différente cette année. Elle veut passer un très mauvais moment, sinon pourquoi aurait-elle invité sa mère - la belle-mère démoniaque de l'enfer, qui déteste Noël et tout ce qui s'y rapporte ? En fait, il n'y a qu'une seule chose que la terrible belle-mère déteste plus que Noël... et c'est Joe. Heureusement, Joe a un allié dans sa guerre contre le monstre aux cheveux orange et au chewing-gum : un Père Noël de centre commercial qui n'est pas du tout ce qu'il semble être. Ce Père Noël plus grand que nature offre à Joe un cadeau magique qui, promet-il, fera disparaître le problème, mais ce colis d'apparence innocente donne le coup d'envoi d'une aventure que Joe n'oubliera jamais.

L'ultimo martire americano
by Tom WintonSinossi Non succede spesso, ma ogni tanto una piccola anima sorge dalle affollate profondità dell'oscurità e fa oscillare la terra sul suo asse. L’ultima volta che è accaduto era il 2008 quando un portiere disoccupato, investito di buona volontà di seconda mano, è salito sul palcoscenico mondiale a Stoccolma e ha accettato il premio Nobel per la letteratura. In questo me-me del ventunesimo secolo, il cinquantanovenne Thomas Soles potrebbe benissimo essere considerato l'ultimo martire americano. Un “uomo semplice” come si autodefinisce, scrive un libro che resuscita il movimento operaio internazionale quasi morto. La risposta ai suoi pensieri e alle sue percezioni è sbalorditiva. In tutto il mondo, da un polo all'altro, dall'America allo Zimbabwe, le orme marcianti dei lavoratori, giovani e vecchi, fanno tremare la terra. Ma non tutti sono contenti. C'è una cricca affiatata ed elitaria che è assolutamente livida sui pensieri e sugli ideali che riempiono le pagine del suo libro. E nel momento in cui Tom e sua moglie Elaina tornano a casa dalla Svezia, si rendono conto di quanto sia arrabbiata questa folla affamata di profitti.
How to Increase Productivity
by Pílula DigitalThe popular expression "Do more with less" really sums up one of the many challenges of living in modern times. Because, in addition to the country's faltering politics and economy, as always, the impression we have is that - with the advancement of science and technology - the world is getting faster and faster. Now I ask you: faced with such an uncertain scenario, with days getting shorter and businesses more demanding, what can an ordinary person, like you and me, for example, do to stand out in the job market? Prayer might help - someone might ask - but the truth is, if you don't produce more than others - continuously and with better quality, of course! - your future will be forgotten.

Benang: From the Heart
by Kim ScottOceanic in its rhythms and understanding, brilliant in its use of language and image, moving in its largeness of spirit, compelling in its narrative scope and style, this intriguing journey is a celebration and lament—of beginning and return, of obliteration and recovery, of silencing, and of powerful utterance. Both tentative and daring, it speaks to the present and a possible future through stories, dreams, rhythms, songs, images and documents mobilized from the incompletely acknowledged and still dynamic past.
