Marrying the 70-something head of the Cosa Nostra to save my father is the only good deed I’ve ever done. I’m burning and bitter under the fake smile and tight dresses, but I was keeping it together. Was. Until my fiancé’s nephew turns up to dinner uninvited. Angelo "Vicious" Visconti. A beautiful monster with cheekbones as sharp as his tongue. They say I shouldn’t be scared of him, because nine years ago, he went straight. He’s barely a Made Man anymore. But I say, he’s the most dangerous Visconti of all.

On 1 July 1916, Douglas Haig's army launched the "Big Push" that was supposed finally to bring an end to the stalemate on the Western Front. What happened next was a human catastrophe: scrambling over the top into the face of the German machine guns and artillery fire, 19,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers were killed, the greatest loss in a single day ever sustained by the British Army. The battle did not stop there, however.

The Somme offensive was intended to achieve a decisive victory for the British and French Allies over the Germans, yet the Allies failed to achieve all of their objectives and the war was to continue for another two years. More than a million men from both sides became casualties in the long and bitter struggle on the Somme in 1916. This audiobook tells this story through the unique collections of IWM.

Rózsa Sándor történetét már többen pennájuk hegyére tűzték, így például Arany, Tömörkény, Krúdy, Móricz, Móra. Bennük egyetlen közös van: egyik sem volt ott! Mármint senki nem látta közelről Rózsa Sándor működését. Most azonban egy koronatanú, Veszelka Imre, a legszöbb paraszt, Rózsa Sándor legkedvesebb cimborája meséli el, hogy valójában hogyan is estek meg a dolgok. Ha valaki, hát ő igen közelről látta az eseményeket, és most (1900-ban) a szegedi Páva vendéglő előtt elmondja az igazi, eddig eltitkolt, megdöbbentő sztorit.

No good ever comes from a red-head in a stolen dress with her worldly possessions at her feet. I should have known she was trouble when smoke and sin followed her into my bar and she challenged me to a game. She may have won my watch, but she started a war. As she slipped my Breitling off my wrist and onto her own, she gleefully announced she was the luckiest girl in the world. Yeah, lucky to everyone but me.

My world is on fire, and I’m obsessed with the girl who lit the match. Bloodied knuckles and a lifeless body at my feet confirm it: Penny is my demise. My gentlemanly façade is nothing but a memory. My sins are seeping through my shirt like ink. I tried to leave her. Couldn’t do it. I tried to snuff the life out of her. Couldn’t do that, either. So we’ll slow dance in the flames until I’m nothing but ash and embers. I’ll only rise like a phoenix when she’s gone. The problem is, I’d never let her go.

Mein Name ist Rory Carter und ich tue schlimme Dinge. Unter meiner engelsgleichen Fassade verbirgt sich eine dunkle Seele, und manchmal frage ich mich, ob meine wöchentlichen Beichten bei der Hotline »Sinners Anonymous« ausreichen, um sie zu vergeben.

Sono gli anni che seguono la morte della figlia Paula. Isabel Allende adotta la forma "diario" per fare la cronaca della famiglia, faticosamente riunita in California dal 1992 al 2006. I ricordi si intrecciano alle riflessioni sulla vita, sulla sua opera e sul mondo contemporaneo. Due leitmotiv danno coesione all'insieme: la relazione amorosa con il secondo marito Willie e l'ansia di costituire e difendere una grande tribù familiare.

Depuis des années, j'enseigne que nous sommes Dieu, dans le sens où nous avons en nous un pouvoir créateur pour créer ce que nous voulons. Au fil du temps, j'ai voulu ajouter un p'tit mot de deux lettres qui permet de continuer d'utiliser notre pouvoir, mais aussi de s'enlever un énorme poids sur les épaules, et par le fait même, de s'alléger, de garder la tête haute malgré les erreurs, et de ... s'élever pour créer à la hauteur de nos plus grandes aspirations! Bienvenue à Nous Sommes DE Dieu, un endroit où on reconnaît notre pouvoir créateur, et où, en même temps, on se ...

Per fortuna l’avvocato Ettore Mezzalama ha un cuore d’atleta. Ne ha bisogno per resistere alla fine del suo matrimonio e alle stranezze di un figlio ribelle che è una vera dannazione. E già questo basterebbe a mandare in frantumi la normalità di una rispettabile vita borghese. Se poi si aggiungono la scoperta tardiva della propria omosessualità e la relazione clandestina con Ferdinando, fascinoso musicista e suo vicino di casa, allora serve davvero un fisico bestiale. Per completare il quadro da crisi di nervi ci si mette pure una socia insofferente all’autorità.

The Commander in Chief of the British forces, Sir Douglas Haig, issued a despatch in the following month via the London Gazette. Part news, part propaganda this despatch failed to mention the tragic losses and maximised the minimal gains.

A joint operation between Britain and France, the 1916 Battle of the Somme was an attempt to gain territory and dent Germany's military strength.
