A rollicking good romance set in 1685 in Cromwell's tumultuous days with pirates, brigands, roundheads, parliament, fantasy, romance, castles, moats, the occult, sorcery, and more in play that should bring more men in as listeners, as women have been for decades. The author was the leading British play lyricist for 50 years, with 80 plays, which underscores the quality of his writing in this, his only book.

Roma, 49 a. C. A la luz de la luna, una mujer con el rostro surcado por el tiempo, pero aún intacto en su belleza innata, sostiene una carta entre sus manos. La caligrafía no da lugar a dudas: sabe que se trata del amante a quien ha acompañado siempre, en sus momentos de gloria, pero también en los más vulnerables: Cayo Julio César. La República se tambalea, y la misiva tampoco es un buen augurio. César le explica a su querida Servilia que ha decidido cruzar las fronteras sagradas y franquear el río Rubicón.

Edvard grows up on a remote mountain farmstead in Norway with his taciturn grandfather, Sverre. The death of his parents, when he was three years old, has always been shrouded in mystery—he has never been told how or where it took place and has only a distant memory of his mother. But he knows that the fate of his grandfather's brother, Einar, is somehow bound up with this mystery. One day, a coffin is delivered for his grandfather long before his death—a meticulous, beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Perhaps Einar is not dead after all.

Half a century later, a confrontation between the surviving members of the family will culminate in a terrible reckoning.

Rönne, ein junger Arzt, fährt mit dem Zug durch Deutschland, um in einer entfernt gelegenen medizinischen Anstalt den Chefarzt zu vertreten. Doch statt sich den Patienten zu widmen, verliert Rönne nach und nach den Bezug zur Realität und versinkt in sich selbst. Er muss die Klinik wieder verlassen und begibt sich, dem Wahnsinn verfallen, auf Reisen. Die in den vier Rönne-Novellen beschriebene Kälte und Verlorenheit ist von Benns persönlichen Erfahrungen als Arzt und Sanitätsoffizier geprägt: "Ich lebte am Rande, wo das Dasein fällt und das Ich beginnt." Rolf Becker gibt den vier kurzen Prosatexten eine Stimme.

A war broke out in Nikrim. Elves, dwarves, sylphs, dorgans, and humans are racing toward a treasure of unspoken power. To obtain it, they breathed life back into an old conflict, the flames of which will engulf the whole continent. Kyros the Soul Thief wants more than to just obliterate his enemies. However, they do not intend to sit still while he has it his own way. The main world of the Belteise Empire will be open soon. A great battle for divine heritage will begin, and a brilliant cultivator like Kai will definitely not stay out of it. 

Life has always been a banquet for Sappho, one to be savored to the fullest. Following a magnificent destiny, her strange and sensual odyssey has carried her to the far corners of the ancient world, from Delphi to Egypt, to the Land of the Amazons, and the realm of Hades. For Sappho, it was always about love—love that seduced her into a plot to depose a dictator, and love that made her trade an unwanted marriage bed of a despised and drunken husband for a seemingly endless series of lovers, both male and female. 

We were four teens, Timmy, Ronald, Billy and I. This book is fiction. This novella or short book is about town bent like a junkyard. Yet there came no revolution nor reform to fix the dents. It is full of misadventures of the police chasing me. If you are a fan of Stranger Things on Netflix, or movies like Stand by Me or The Outsiders, then I hope you will enjoy these reflections. Time ran slower in the late 70s and early 80s. So did people, and so did cognition.
