“But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief!”
– Romeo and Juliet

Language: English, Novel – Format: ePub

Harry Potter thinks he is an ordinary boy. He lives with his Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and cousin Dudley, who make him sleep in a cupboard under the stairs.
Harry Potter is due to start his fifth year at Hogwarts School of (More) Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is desperate to find out why his friends, Ron and Hermione, have been secretive all summer.

Forsyth, FrederickAvenger
Language: English, Novel – Format: ePub

Attorney Calvin Dexter hangs his shingle in a quiet New Jersey town, has a reasonably successful practice, and takes the hills strong while triathalon training. But Dexter is no ordinary man.
The summer before he goes to college, (More) Ricky Colenso travels to Bosnia to volunteer as an aid worker. A few weeks later, he disappears and is never heard from again. A family grieves and is offered little hope–in the fog of that horrible time and place, the killer, too, has vanished.
Or so it would seem. For in a world that has forgotten right and wrong, there are few like Cal Dexter who can settle the score. And so, years later, a worldwide chase is on and Dexter begins to draw a net around the killer. But this time CIA agent Paul Devereux must find a way to stop Dexter before his quest for vengeance throws the world into chaos.
A heart-stopping novel of murder and mystery, double-cross and triple-cross, old loyalties and new hatreds, Avenger has all of Frederick Forsyth’s page-turning trademarks.

Fazio Fernández, MarianoHistorias de las ideas conemporaneas
Language: Spanish, History & Biography – Format: ePub

El hilo conductor de este recorrido por la historia contemporánea es el proceso de secularización, característico de nuestra cultura, tratado desde una visión cristiana del hombre y de la historia. Tras exponer las claves de la (More) época moderna (siglos XVI-XVII), el autor analiza las principales ideologías contemporáneas -liberalismo, nacionalismo, marxismo, cientificismo- y subraya su papel de religiones sustitutivas. Una tercera parte trata la crisis de la cultura de la Modernidad en el siglo XX, y examina con detalle el nihilismo, la sociedad permisiva y los movimientos culturales de mayor actualidad: feminismo, ecologismo y los nuevos movimientos religiosos. Concluye con un profundo análisis de la relación entre la Iglesia Católica y el mundo contemporáneo.

Archer, JeffreyThe Sins of the Father (Clifton Chronicles, 2)
Language: English, Novel – Format: ePub

New York, 1939. Tom Bradshaw is arrested for first degree murder. He stands accused of killing his brother. When Sefton Jelks, a top Manhattan lawyer, offers his services for nothing, penniless Tom has little choice but to accept (More) his assurance of a lighter sentence. After Tom is tried, found guilty and sentenced, Jelks disappears, and the only way for him to prove his innocence would be to reveal his true identity – something that he has sworn never to do in order to protect the woman he loves.
Meanwhile, the young woman in question travels to New York, leaving their son behind in England, having decided she’ll do whatever it takes to find the man she was to marry – unwilling to believe that he died at sea. The only proof she has is a letter. A letter that has remained unopened on a mantelpiece in Bristol for over a year.
Jeffrey Archer continues the saga of The Clifton Chronicles with this epic novel, The Sins of the Father. Family loyalties are stretched to their limits as secrets unravel, and the story moves from the backstreets of Bristol to the boardrooms of Manhattan.
