The Adventures of Roman German has been authored by the real-life Roman German Robert Gonska. Roman is a New York City born Venezuelan-American entrepreneur. His adventures have taken him to Australia, Spain, Tel-Aviv and many places in between. While enjoying the typical things kids do, his passions include Jiu-Jitsu, writing his graphic novel series, designing t-shirts and playing video games. Through his own travels, he has been inspired to create a character, a story and an inspiring message to fellow children and the young at heart. Roman hopes that this series will be an opportunity for him to encourage countless people around the world to pursue their biggest dreams. The Adventures of Roman German is a digital and hardcover children's entertainment experience. Roman German and his friends Matt-the-Monkey, Jerry-the-Giraffe and Rob-the-Robot find themselves in all sorts of exciting exploits. They routinely converge on the Clubhouse to share ideas and plan their next adventure. During one of their exciting endeavors, Rob-the-Robot begins receiving signals from an alien technology. But where did this technology come from? Who hid the pieces all over the world? What will happen when they all come together? Each chapter brings a new surprise and each book adds another piece of the puzzle. This fast-paced adventure highlights exciting real-world geography while gripping the imagination with numerous twists and turns.
The first short story collection by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and master of the form since her number one New York Times best seller Unaccustomed Earth - Rome--metropolis and monument, suspended between past and future, multi-faceted and metaphysical--is the protagonist, not the setting, of these nine stories In "The Boundary," one family vacations in the Roman countryside, though we see their lives through the eyes of the caretaker's daughter, who nurses a wound from her family's immigrant past. In "P's Parties," a Roman couple, now empty nesters, finds comfort and community with foreigners at their friend's yearly birthday gathering--until the husband crosses a line. And in "The Steps," on a public staircase that connects two neighborhoods and the residents who climb up and down it, we see Italy's capital in all of its social and cultural variegations, filled with the tensions of a changing city: visibility and invisibility, random acts of aggression, the challenge of straddling worlds and cultures, and the meaning of home. These are splendid, searching stories, written in Jhumpa Lahiri's adopted language of Italian and seamlessly translated by the author and by Knopf editor Todd Portnowitz. Stories steeped in the moods of Italian master Alberto Moravia and guided, in the concluding tale, by the ineluctable ghost of Dante Alighieri, whose words lead the protagonist toward a new way of life.
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: THE NEW YORKER, NPR - The first short story collection by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and master of the form since her number one New York Times best seller Unaccustomed Earth - Rome--metropolis and monument, suspended between past and future, multi-faceted and metaphysical--is the protagonist, not the setting, of these nine stories "A delectable, sun-washed treat . . . the stories have the beating heart of the city itself, a place of magnificent decay and vibrant, varied life." --Vogue In "The Boundary," one family vacations in the Roman countryside, though we see their lives through the eyes of the caretaker's daughter, who nurses a wound from her family's immigrant past. In "P's Parties," a Roman couple, now empty nesters, finds comfort and community with foreigners at their friend's yearly birthday gathering--until the husband crosses a line. And in "The Steps," on a public staircase that connects two neighborhoods and the residents who climb up and down it, we see Italy's capital in all of its social and cultural variegations, filled with the tensions of a changing city: visibility and invisibility, random acts of aggression, the challenge of straddling worlds and cultures, and the meaning of home.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Interpreter of Maladies returns with her first short story collection since the publication of her number one New York Times best seller Unaccustomed Earth--a major literary event and a tour de force Nine mesmerizing stories saturated in the details of Roman life that showcase Jhumpa Lahiri's extraordinary range and virtuosity. An immigrant family confronts the devastating aftershocks of racial violence. A young couple discovers the joy of domestic comfort and then spirals into unrelenting misfortune. A group of strangers orbit each other unknowingly as they ascend and descend the ancient steps that anchor their neighborhood. An annual garden party sews the seed of a haunting marital betrayal. In story after story, Lahiri delivers her richest and most stirring work yet in a collection whose themes reverberate with the tensions of modern urban life: dislocation and deracination, visibility and invisibility, the difficulty of straddling worlds and cultures, the meaning of home. Roman Stories is a magnificent testament to Lahiri's dazzling style and unalloyed mastery of the short form.
Reflections on daily life, politics, restaurants, art, and history during two months in Rome. With a detailed listing of restaurants. 258 pages; b&w photos by the author.
