خلاصه ای از کتاب 

This is a story about children living on a farm, feeding the animals, and helping with all the jobs that need doing around Willow Farm. Its simple storyline and animal interest should make it appealing to children.

Enid Blyton’s books are beloved the world over and The Famous Five have been the perennial favourite of her fans. Now, in this new series of Enid Blyton for Grown-Ups, can George, Dick, Anne, Julian and Timmy survive the ultimate test of their friendship : Brexit?

It is the night of the referendum and the Five have retired to Kirrin Island to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, fed up with the rancour of public debate. George is firmly a ‘remainer,’ whilst Julian, who is in the ‘Brexit’ camp, is tolerated on the grounds that Anne cannot bear to go camping without him. (Timmy, largely apolitical but not keen on cats or rabbits, joins them too.)

The night is tempestuous in more ways than one. George has managed to rig up a satellite link with the mainland so they can keep abreast of the news, and they sit huddled around the fire, amidst some tension, as George’s initial hope that the ‘remainers’ will triumph proves premature…

Meanwhile, a violent storm whips up. The damage is apparent as the new day dawns and George declares a new meaning for Brexit : Kirrin Island is exiting Britain…that is, until the red tape becomes too much of a challenge and their happy life together is under threat.

Perfect for anyone sick of hearing that ‘Brexit means Brexit’, or for that relative you’re still not talking to because of how they voted…

Entries extend back to Sanskrit drama and the theatre of ancient Greece as well as encompassing contemporary practitioners.

The emphasis is on performance in its broad sense, including popular entertainment as well as scripted drama, with entries on circus, musical theatre and pantomime, on male and female impersonation, gay and lesbian theatre, as well as Indian festival and Japanese puppet theatre, and the classic and contemporary theatre of Europe and North America.

Four contextual essays provide the reader with the background to the great theatre traditions of Asia, Africa, South America and the Middle East.

This book not only reflects the diversity and authoritativeness of the parent Cambridge Guide to Theatre, but also offers an accessible compactness

Three days of involvement with LSD, the “”Answer Drug,”” add up to a mini-Bildungsroman by a young radical who has always tried to get at the extra-political root of things. Alex Randall is an Ivy Leaguer from Kansas City with a hyper-verbal, anti-establishmentarian sensibility. His roommate gets mixed up with drugs and drug cultists; Alex goes to the latter in search of an antidote one night. He stays to argue, observe, and ogle the pneumatic, schizoid girls who comprise the majority of Dr. Tyrtan’s followers. After a spectacular trip, Alex emerges subtly sadder, wiser, and disabused of any notion that pain and ego are unreal.

The novel’s extrinsic interest lies in the devastating portrait of Timothy Leafy, self-confessed mediocrity and manic pseudo-healer. Intrinsic interest is pulled along by the writing. Larner’s quick perceptions and ornate irony don’t always merge, but some of the dialogue is excellent, and plausibility is high, As a short story, it might have been exquisite. Over a longer run it fails to orchestrate the fantastic and critical streaks. Worth reading, though. . . and burial in a cornerstone.

 خلاصه ای از کتاب 

You were so promising at the beginning : Sexy, smart, personable and funny. Great on dates and really great afterward-if you know what I mean. But this is a sad state of affairs; or, in your case, non-affairs! It’s been nearly an entire year and you haven’t had your way with even ONE eligible male. You’ve been working so hard concocting sexy lingerie for Thongs.com — and really, Stacy, if that little pink velvet bustier didn’t put you in the mood, I don’t know what to say! — that you haven’t even tried to be coaxed out of your own thong.com!

Stacey Temple, a designer at thongs.com, hasn’t had a man in her life since she broke up with Brian almost a year ago. Not having a lover hasn’t bothered her much, until she reads an article about women who haven’t had sex in a year being “revirginized.” Stacey has a week before she hits the year mark, and she’s determined to get laid before then.

But luck isn’t on her side : a handsome blind date turns her down because he senses she only wants sex, the 20-year-old son of one of her bosses has performance problems, and her ex’s new fiancee turns up at an extremely inopportune time.

Stacey starts to get desperate, turning first to a female coworker and then to her best friend, Charlie, a handsome playboy. Much hilarity ensues, but Stacey remains unsatisfied and inching ever closer to revirginization.

As she begins to doubt herself, a handsome neighbor–who might be able to please her sexually and romantically– catches her eye. Her adventures are often laugh-out-loud funny, making it impossible not to root for Frankel’s plucky, determined heroine.

First-time author Lisa Wingate drew upon her relationship with her grandmother for inspiration in writing Tending Roses. Her sensitive and able crafting of language, character, and situation pierces through the turmoil and stress of everyday life, illuminating its message with almost painful intensity : “Maybe you should start wanting less.

” Wingate’s words resonate as readers are introduced to Kate Bowman, her architect husband Ben, and their infant son. Kate, on maternity leave from her high-profile Chicago job, has been given the unenviable task of convincing her increasingly frail and forgetful grandmother that she can no longer live alone on the Missouri farm that has been her home for almost half a century.

Kate and Ben are struggling to deal with mounting debts and medical bills as they strive to build a lifestyle, rather than a life. Frustrated by dealing with her stubborn, if well-meaning, grandmother, Kate finds solace and clarity in Grandma Rose’s handwritten journal. The simple stories of earlier, less complicated times renew Kate’s understanding of the truly important things in life.

Through the journal, Kate discovers the essence of the remarkable Grandma Rose and is forced to reevaluate her priorities and those of her family.

Simply put, Wingate’s aim is to exhort readers to “stop and smell the roses.” The daily race to achieve and have more, more, more is clearly and all-too-accurately portrayed in these pages. I guarantee readers will stop to think of their own lives and where they are spending their energies.

Jennings books

The “Jennings” series is a collection of humorous novels of children’s literature. There are 25 in total. The first, Jennings Goes to School , appeared in 1950 and new titles were published regularly until the mid-1970s (the last for fourteen years was Jennings at Large in 1977, the only book to feature Jennings during the school holidays), with two more in the 1990s (Jennings Again in 1991 and That’s Jennings in 1994). In France the name of “Jennings” was changed to Bennett, in Germany to Freddy, while in Norway he is known as Stompa.

A blunt razor blade left overnight inside a cardboard model of the Great Pyramid of Cheops will be sharp again in the morning?

This is a book that may get one thinking of just how much we know of nature’s wonders.
As the book’s author Lyall Watson states : “Between nature and the supernatural are a host of happenings that I choose to describe as Supernature”.
Within the book you will hear of such things as circadian rythms; the effects of the sun, moon and planets on the lives of various lifeforms, including humans; the scientific facts behind astrology; mysterious properties of Egypt’s pyramids; psychic powers such as psychokinesis, telepathy, and “eyeless sight”; how the mind can physically influence the body; and much, much more.
I found the book to be packed with intriguing facts. I was particularly intrigued by Watson’s brief suggestion that evolution was influenced “by a pattern of information that lies half hidden in the cosmic chaos”.

خلاصه ای از کتاب

Richard Strauss’s tone poem Also sprach Zarathustra is one of his most controversial works. Its greatest popularity has been achieved when its connection with Nietzsche’s book of the same name has seemed less relevant than its associations with Kubrick’s film 2001 – A Space Odyssey.

Although its early critical reception was mixed, it is nowadays one of the staples of the virtuoso orchestra, and a standard demonstration piece for innovations in recording technique.

Its opening bars have become a kind of icon independent of the rest of the work. This guide examines the intellectual background of the work and considers ways in which it has been received by composers and writers, notably Romain Rolland and Bartok.

It also discusses the musical background of Liszt and Wagner which gave rise to the genre, ‘tone poem’, and provides an analysis of several aspects of Strauss’s musical language

From the First Golden Age of SF master Robert A. Heinlein, this is the so-called juvenile (written, Heinlein always claims, just as much for adults) that started them all and made Heinlein a legend for multiple generations of readers—with a new introduction and afterword by popular military science fiction author Michael Z. Williamson. A poor young man seeks his fortune in space and comes of age a ship’s officer and hero.

The stars were closed to Max Jones. To get into space you either needed connections, a membership in the Guild, or a whole lot more money than Max, the son of a widowed, poor mother, was every going to have.  What Max does have going for him are his uncle’s prized astrogation manuals—book on star navigation that Max literally commits to memory word for word, equation for equation. When Max’s mother decides to remarry a bullying oaf, Max takes to the road, only to discover that his uncle Chet’s manuals, and Max’s near complete memorization of them, is a ticket to the stars. But serving on a spaceship is no easy task.  Duty is everything, and a mistake can mean you and all aboard are lost forever. Max loves every minute of his new life, and he steadily grows in the trust of his superior officers, and seems to be on course for a command track position. But then disaster strikes, and it’s going to take every trick Max ever learned from his tough life and his uncle’s manuals to save himself and the ship from a doom beyond extinction itself.  

From the First Golden Age of Heinlein, this is the so-called juvenile (written, Heinlein always claims, just as much for adults) that started them all and made Heinlein a legend for multiple generations of readers.

Max Jones, a stowaway aboard an intergalactic space flight, was unwittingly flying towards disaster- disaster that was first realized when the spaceship landed on an unknown planet, in an unknown century
