From a #1 international bestselling author, a gothic, suspenseful tale in which a young widow inherits a Tuscan estate from a mysterious benefactor and finds herself thrust into the crosshairs of a dangerous conspiracy--a "compelling thriller with dashes of romance and excellent twists " (Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author). Lately, Julia Pritzker is beginning to think she's cursed. She's lost her adoptive parents, then her husband is murdered. When she realizes that her horoscope essentially foretold his death, she begins to spiral. She fears her fate is written in the stars, not held in her own hands. Then a letter arrives out of the blue, informing her that she has inherited a Tuscan villa and vineyard --but her benefactor is a total stranger named Emilia Rossi. Julia has no information about her biological family, so she wonders if Rossi could be a blood relative. Bewildered, she heads to Tuscany for answers. There, Julia is horrified to discover that Rossi was a paranoid recluse, who believed herself to be a descendent of Duchess Caterina Sforza, a legendary Renaissance ruler. Stunned by her uncanny resemblance to Rossi, and even to Caterina, Julia is further unnerved when she unearths eerie parallels between them, including an obsession with astrology. Before long, Julia suspects she's being followed, and strange things begin to happen. Not even a chance meeting with a handsome Florentine can ease her troubled mind. When events turn deadly, Julia's harrowing struggle becomes a search for her identity, a race to save her sanity, and ultimately, a question of her very survival. Twisty, transportive, and haunting--this is suspense with a passport.

Por eso cada d a le lanza todos sus deseos al universo tal como le ha ense ado su abuelo. Al principio a Julia le da pena tener que explicarle que esas historias del universo son solo mentiras absurdas que el abuelo se ha inventado para hacerle sentirse mejor. Pero un d a no puede m s y se lo suelta tal cual: so ar es cosa de ingenuos. Es entonces cuando recibe una visita que le trastocar su mundo entero. El universo se presenta ante ella y le propone un reto: tendr que emprender un viaje muy peculiar que le ayudar a recordar c mo so ar para convertir de este modo todos sus deseos en realidad. Eso s , una vez que empiece la aventura, no habr vuelta atr s.

Los diez relatos que componen esta colecci n tienen el objetivo de aplicar las leyes de la abundancia a las necesidades concretas de los ni os de hoy en d a. Tambi n buscan dar respuesta a diversas cuestiones de car cter m s incorp reo que se plantean en cada libro. A pesar de que los j venes conocen dichas respuestas mejor que los propios adultos, la sociedad a veces les obliga a ignorar la inteligencia interior con que llegaron a este mundo. Este es solo un peque o intento de que crezcan siendo conscientes del poder de su magia, y de que alcancen no solo prosperidad econ mica de mayores, sino tambi n abundancia espiritual. Inspirados principalmente en el libro de Adam J. Jackson "Los Diez Secretos de la Riqueza Abundante", esta serie de cuentos tambi n se nutre de las ense anzas de Abraham o Esther y Jerry Hicks, Wayne Dyer, Deepack Chopra, Brian Weiss, Suzanne Powell y el Dr. Camilo Cruz entre otros. Aunque inicialmente est n dirigidos a ni os de entre 9 y 12 a os, en realidad son adecuados para cualquier edad a partir de los 6 a os porque su lectura se hace amena y emocionante, y todos sus protagonistas tienen un car cter muy aventurero.
La se orita Julia toca otro de los grandes temas de Strindberg: las tensiones entre lo viejo y lo nuevo. Una cultura y una sociedad caduca, las clases altas, frente a los intentos de renovaci n de las clases populares que, aun con sus contradicciones, abandonan sus viejos papeles de sumisi n.

Romeo und Julia auf dem Dorfe ist die bekannteste Erz hlung aus dem Novellenzyklus Die Leute von Seldwyla von Gottfried Keller. Wie die meisten Werke des Schweizer Dichters hat sie eine lange Entstehungszeit: 1847 konzipiert, 1855/56 ausgearbeitet und ver ffentlicht, erreichte sie erst 1875 ihre endg ltige Textgestalt. Der Titel verweist auf Shakespeares Romeo und Julia und k ndigt eine Adaption des ber hmten Stoffes an. Der Autor verlegt dazu den Schauplatz der tragischen Liebesgeschichte in seine Gegenwart und in ein Dorf seiner Heimat: Zwei junge Leute, Sohn und Tochter wohlhabender Bauern, lieben sich trotz der erbitterten Feindschaft ihrer V ter.

A powerful and moving remembrance of a young doctor who was disappeared during the Argentine "Dirty War"
Thirty-Three Hats for Julia, the latest book by poet-physician Dr. Sarah Bein is slated for release by Red Hen Press in January of 2008. This book chronicles Dr. Bein's experience in medical school at Stanford University and into residency at UCLA, traversing the space between illness and health. The poems are written both from the perspective of the patient as well as from the perspective of physician, in the hopes of collapsing those boundaries to foster empathy and communication. Her interest in medicine since the beginning of her career has been with those patients who endure chronic or life-limiting illness, which brought forth her story about Julia, detailed in a prose piece which comprises the third section of this book and is the book's namesake. Julia is a girl whose final days she shares, recounting the most sacred moments of her life, as well as conjuring the now-ghosts of a future she will not see. In her thoughts we see her attempt at reason; she looks in metaphor, verse, and abstraction for a cause, an explanation for this last role she plays. She relishes in narrative, in the narrative of her own life and the lives she would have lived, her thirty-three hats. This is where Dr. Bein's narrative takes on that transformative capacity in its power to invent, through imagination, and with hope, to heal.
My Dearest Julia: The Wartime Letters Of Ulysses S. Grant To His Wife

The Civil War's greatest general as you've never seen him before, in a revealing collection of letters to his wife Julia introduced by Ron Chernow. Ulysses S. Grant is justly celebrated as the author of one of the finest military autobiographies ever written, yet many readers of his Personal Memoirs are unaware that during his army years Grant wrote hundreds of intimate and revealing letters to his wife, Julia Dent Grant. Presented with an introduction by acclaimed biographer Ron Chernow, My Dearest Julia collects more than eighty of these letters, beginning with their engagement in 1844 and ending with the Union victory in 1865. They record Grant's first experience under fire in Mexico ("There is no great sport in having bullets flying about one in evry direction but I find they have less horror when among them than when in anticipation"), the aching homesickness that led him to resign from the peacetime army, and his rapid rise to high command during the Civil War. Often written in haste, sometimes within the sound of gunfire, his wartime letters vividly capture the immediacy and uncertainty of the conflict. Grant initially hoped for an early conclusion to the fighting, but then came to accept that the war would have no easy end. "The world has never seen so bloody or so protracted a battle as the one being fought," he wrote from Spotsylvania in 1864, "and I hope never will again."

Julia Poe escapes from the politics of Downtown Los Angeles after helping rescue 200 human cattle from blood farms. Enraging master vampires throughout the city, Poe's two-year freedom is cut short when she becomes the second most wanted person in the land right behind Kaleb Sainvire, an unfailing idealist and the elusive love of her life. She is once again forced to take a stand against vampires trying to reclaim the human slaves stolen by Sainvire's revolutionaries and face the wrath of Quillon Trench, the master vampire she disfigured.
The brutal murder of Julia Wallace in 1931 became one of Britain’s great unsolved murders. People began arguing about the case almost immediately and continue to do so to this day.Julia was the middle-aged wife of a mild-mannered Liverpool insurance agent, William Herbert Wallace. By all accounts they were a quiet, unassuming, devoted couple. In January 1931 William Wallace received a telephone message to come to an address in Liverpool the following evening to discuss an insurance policy. Unable to find the house after searching for hours, Wallace determined there was no such address and returned home. There he found Julia bludgeoned to death on the parlor floor. In addition to the terrible shock and his unbearable loss, Wallace was accused of the crime and ultimately convicted.Using original sources, Jonathan Goodman re-creates Wallace’s trial, witness by witness. Through his meticulous reconstruction, it becomes evident that the police and the medical examiner went out of their way to twist and even manufacture evidence. Their attention to proving Wallace guilty ignored a lead to a likely suspect given to them by Wallace. The man was a fellow insurance agent, whom Goodman identifies in the book as Mr. X. The police ignored the suggestion.In 1969, when The Killing of Julia Wallace was first published in the United Kingdom, Goodman had picked up on the lead the police disregarded.As a result, he was convinced that Wallace was unjustly convicted. In 1981 Goodman revealed the name of the suspect, who was by then deceased. The suspect had a long record of criminal charges that had been dropped or dismissed due to his family connections—his father and uncle were local officials; his father’s secretary was the daughter of the police superintendent.True crime fans will welcome the return of this classic unsolved mystery by the inimitable Jonathan Goodman.
