The Ghost and Mrs. Muir

Fiction & Literature

The book that inspired Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s cinematic romance starring Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison—one of the most passionately romantic movies ever made. • With a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Adriana Trigiani. Burdened by debt after her husband's death, Lucy Muir insists on moving into the very cheap Gull Cottage in the quaint seaside village of Whitecliff, despite multiple warnings that the house is haunted. Upon discovering the rumors to be true, the young widow ends up forming a special companionship with the ghost of handsome former sea captain Daniel Gregg. Through the struggles of supporting her children, seeking out romance from the wrong places, and working to publish the captain's story as a book, Blood and Swash, Lucy finds in her secret relationship with Captain Gregg a comfort and blossoming love she never could have predicted. Originally published in 1945, made into a movie in 1947, and later adapted into a television sitcom in 1968, this romantic tale explores how love can develop without boundaries, both in this life and beyond. Vintage Movie Classics spotlights classic films that have stood the test of time, now rediscovered through the publication of the novels on which they were based.

Άνθρωποι που διαβάζουν στην παραλία

Fiction & Literature

Ένα καλοκαίρι, δύο συγγραφείς χωρίς έμπνευση και ένα στοίχημα που θα τους κάνει να αναθεωρήσουν όλα όσα θεωρούσαν δεδομένα. Μια συγγραφέας ρομαντικών βιβλίων που δεν πιστεύει πια στην αγάπη και ένας βραβευμένος συγγραφέας υψηλής λογοτεχνίας θα βρεθούν αντιμέτωποι με τον χειρότερό τους εφιάλτη: την έλλειψη έμπνευσης! Ο Ογκάστους Έβερετ θεωρείται ένας από τους σημαντικότερους συγγραφείς της γενιάς του. Τα βιβλία της Τζένιουαρι Άντριους βρίσκονται στην κορυφή των best sellers. Όσο εκείνη γράφει με δεξιοτεχνία για ευτυχισμένους έρωτες, εκείνος σκοτώνει όλους τους κεντρικούς χαρακτήρες σε μια σκηνή! Είναι αντικειμενικά τα άκρως αντίθετα! Για την ακρίβεια, το μόνο κοινό τους είναι ότι θα μένουν σε γειτονικά παραλιακά σπίτια για τους επόμενους τρεις μήνες: άφραγκοι, χωρίς να μπορούν να βρουν έμπνευση για το επόμενό τους βιβλίο, με τις προθεσμίες των εκδοτών να πλησιάζουν… Ένα μουντό απόγευμα, πάνω στην απελπισία της στιγμής, θα βάλουν ένα αρκετά ριψοκίνδυνο στοίχημα: Ο Ογκάστους θα περάσει το υπόλοιπο καλοκαίρι του γράφοντας ένα βιβλίο με χαρούμενο τέλος και η Τζένιουαρι θα γράψει ένα βιβλίο που θα αποθεωθεί από τους κριτικούς λογοτεχνίας. Η Τζένιουαρι θα μυήσει τον Ογκάστους στη ρομαντική λογοτεχνία και θα τον βοηθήσει να βρει έμπνευση μέσα από εκδρομές σε κινηματογραφικά τοπία. Αντίστοιχα, υπό την καθοδήγηση του Ογκάστους, θα πάρει συνεντεύξεις από τα επιζώντα μέλη μιας αίρεσης. Οι κανόνες είναι απλοί: όποιος πουλήσει πρώτος το βιβλίο του, κερδίζει. Το βιβλίο αυτό δεν είναι μια ακόμα ιστορία αγάπης… Ή μήπως είναι τελικά;

Ti lascio per non perderti

Fiction & Literature

Innamorarsi è la parte più facile di una relazione. Il difficile viene dopo. Lo sanno bene Lauren e Ryan che, insieme da undici anni, non si sopportano più. Dopo una storia d'amore romantica al college, una proposta di matrimonio mozzafiato e tanti progetti di vita comuni, proprio non si sanno spiegare come siano arrivati ad azzuffarsi per ogni cosa, dalle bollette alla cena, dall'assicurazione dell'auto al parcheggio. Quando, poi, si rendono conto di preferire la compagnia del cane a quella del coniuge, non possono negarlo oltre: il loro matrimonio è in crisi. Incapaci di stabilire se si amano ancora oppure no, Lauren e Ryan non hanno il coraggio di divorziare; perciò decidono di prendersi una pausa di riflessione. Durata: un anno. Regole: non vedersi e non sentirsi. Per la prima volta da quando aveva diciannove anni, Lauren deve provare a vivere da sola, senza Ryan. Ed è terrorizzata, ma inaspettatamente anche libera. In questo momento di grande incertezza, attorno a lei si stringe la sua famiglia ingombrante: la nonna sprint, sempre pronta a offrire ottimi consigli, la mamma folle innamorata dell'amore, la sorella single convinta, e il fratello che sta per convolare a nozze con una ragazza che ha messo incinta nel bagno di un aereo due minuti dopo averla incontrata. Con il loro aiuto, Lauren inizia un viaggio alla riscoperta di sé e cerca di rimettersi in gioco, nella vita e in amore. Ma dopo aver imparato a stare senza Ryan, avrà ancora senso tornare da lui?

Ales de ferro (Empiri 2)

Fiction & Literature

Segon volum de la sèrie Empiri, després d'Ales de sang. El fenomen juvenil de fantasia del qual parla tothom.«El primer any és quan alguns de nosaltres perdem la vida. El segon any és quan els que quedem, perdem la humanitat». Xaden RiorsonTothom esperava que la Violet Sorrengail morís durant el seu primer any a l'Acadèmia de Guerra Basgiath, fins i tot ella mateixa n'estava convençuda. Però allò va ser només la primera prova, destinada a eliminar els febles de voluntat, els indignes i els desafortunats. Ara comença l'entrenament real, i la Violet ja es pregunta com ho podrà superar. No és només que sigui extenuant i maliciosament brutal, o fins i tot que estigui dissenyat per allargar la capacitat de dolor dels pilots més enllà del que sembla possible. És el nou vicecomandant, que ha convertit en la seva missió personal ensenyar a la Violet com n'és d'impotent, tret que traeixi l'home que estima. Tot i que el cos de la Violet és més feble i més fràgil que el dels altres, encara té el seu enginy i una voluntat de ferro. I el comandant està oblidant la lliçó més important que li ha ensenyat Basgiath: els genets de drac fan les seves pròpies regles. Però la determinació per sobreviure no serà suficient aquest any. Perquè la Violet coneix el secret real amagat durant segles a l'Acadèmia de Guerra Basgiath, i al cap i a la fi sap que res, ni tan sols el foc de drac, serà suficient per salvar-los.

I Found You

Fiction & Literature

“Readers of Liane Moriarty, Paula Hawkins, and Ruth Ware will love.” —Library Journal (starred review)“Jewell’s novel explores the space between going missing and being lost….how the plots intersect and finally collide is one of the great thrills of reading Jewell’s book. She ratchets up the tension masterfully, and her writing is lively.” —The New York Times In the windswept British seaside town of Ridinghouse Bay, single mom Alice Lake finds a man sitting on a beach outside her house. He has no name, no jacket, and no idea how he got there. Against her better judgment, she invites him inside. Meanwhile, in a suburb of London, newlywed Lily Monrose grows anxious when her husband fails to return home from work one night. Soon, she receives even worse news: according to the police, the man she married never even existed. Twenty-three years earlier, Gray and Kirsty Ross are teenagers on a summer holiday with their parents. The annual trip to Ridinghouse Bay is uneventful, until an enigmatic young man starts paying extra attention to Kirsty. Something about him makes Gray uncomfortable—and it’s not just because he’s a protective older brother. Who is the man on the beach? Where is Lily’s missing husband? And what ever happened to the man who made such a lasting and disturbing impression on Gray? “A mystery with substance” (Kirkus Reviews), I Found You is a delicious collision course of a novel, filled with the believable characters, stunning writing, and “surprising revelations all the way up to the ending” (Booklist) that make the New York Times bestselling author of Then She Was Gone Lisa Jewell so beloved by audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.

Below Zero – Die unerwarteten Abgründe der Liebe

Fiction & Literature

Neues von Ali Hazelwood, der internationalen Bestsellerautorin: eine unwiderstehlich heiße, lustige, feministische Story über eine junge Ingenieurin und ihren Kampf um die Karriere – und die Liebe … Hannah, Mara und Sadie und sind beste Freundinnen – und als Naturwissenschaftlerinnen leidvoll darin erprobt, sich in männlich besetzten Domänen zu behaupten. Eines wissen sie nur zu genau: In Fragen der Wissenschaft – ebenso wie der Liebe – sind es stets die Gegensätze, die die heftigsten Reaktionen hervorrufen.Und so hatte Hannah als Frau, die sich stets auf Algorithmen und automatisierte Steuerung statt auf Gefühle verlässt, nie vor, einen Mann in einer auch nur ansatzweise heldenhaften Rolle in ihr Leben zu lassen. Doch als sie sich in den frostigen Weiten der Arktis in einer mehr als misslichen Notlage wiederfindet, muss sie wohl nicht nur akzeptieren, dass es ausgerechnet ihr Widersacher und beruflicher Erzfeind Ian ist, der ihr zur Hilfe eilt – sondern auch, dass es in Fragen der Chemie zwischen ihnen heiß hergeht … Die Geschichten von Mara und Sadie sind in den Storys »Under One Roof – Liebe unter einem Dach« und »Stuck With You – An wem die Liebe hängen bleibt« zu finden.

One moment to fall apart. A weekend to get it right. They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life a decade ago, that has felt too true. Instead of glittering summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends, and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart.Until she receives the call that sends her racing back to Barry’s Bay and into the orbit of Sam Florek—the man she never thought she’d have to live without.For six summers, through hazy afternoons on the water and warm summer nights working in his family’s restaurant and curling up together with books—medical textbooks for him and work-in-progress horror short stories for her—Percy and Sam had been inseparable. Eventually that friendship turned into something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly apart. When Percy returns to the lake for Sam’s mother’s funeral, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. But until Percy can confront the decisions she made and the years she’s spent punishing herself for them, they’ll never know whether their love might be bigger than the biggest mistakes of their past. Told over the course of six years and one weekend, Every Summer After is a big, sweeping nostalgic story of love and the people and choices that mark us forever.

UN’ESTATE. DUE RIVALI.UN COLPO DI SCENA… DA ROMANZO. “Una delle mie autrici preferite.” - COLLEEN HOOVER“Seguirei Emily Henry ovunque mi volesse portare! Una cittadina? Una libreria da salvare? Un’agenzia letteraria? Eccomi, arrivo!” - EMMA STRAUB“Book Lovers sovverte tutti i cliché delle storie romantiche e ci regala una commedia deliziosa sull’amore, la famiglia e l’indipendenza.” - NPR“Emily Henry è la migliore nei dialoghi brillanti.” - ASSOCIATED PRESS“Qualsiasi cosa Emily Henry decida di scrivere, riesce a sconvolgere le sue trame nei modi più divertenti e inaspettati.” - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLYLa sua vita è tra i libri, ma Nora Stephens non è la classica eroina da romanzo, anzi. Non è impavida, non è la ragazza dei sogni e nemmeno quella della porta accanto. A dirla tutta, Nora è un’eroina solo per gli autori, perché è l’agente letteraria più spregiudicata di New York e grazie al cinismo che la contraddistingue riesce sempre a spuntare contratti milionari per i suoi clienti.L’unica persona con cui non riesce a essere spietata è la sorella. Ecco perché, quando Libby la implora di andare a trovarla nel paesino del North Carolina in cui si è trasferita, Nora non riesce a dirle di no. E chissà, magari una piccola vacanza potrebbe farle bene. Ma invece dei picnic nei prati e dei battibecchi romantici con affascinanti dottori di campagna o baristi muscolosi che sognava, Nora si scontra con un’amara realtà. L’unico uomo in cui non fa altro che imbattersi è Charlie Lastra, un editor di New York tenebroso e molto snob. Potrebbe anche essere una simpatica coincidenza, se non fosse che si sono già incontrati molte volte per lavoro… e non è mai stato piacevole. Al contrario, i due si odiano…Emily Henry è la regina indiscussa della commedia romantica internazionale. Pubblicata in quasi quaranta paesi nel mondo, domina tutte le classifiche ed è adorata dai librai e dai lettori, che la amano per le sue storie sempre originali e dai dialoghi arguti e brillanti.
