Abel Jackson Marvin is in a coma reliving his life’s traumas and triumphs – bushfires, family breakups, heroic rescues, disabling accidents, marriage and fatherhood – amid two constants: his granny’s sweeties ‘to balance out life’s nasties’ and his love for his pinball-playing best friends, Roma and George. Abel must decide whether to keep playing the pinball game of life, with its bumps and ricochets, or let the ball drain away: game over.

«Жизнь» – подлинный шедевр Мопассана, роман, завораживающий читателя глубиной проникновения в женскую душу и яркостью реалистичного, бесстрастного, а порой беспощадного авторского взгляда на извечное «бремя страстей человеческих». «Жизнь» – это история утраченных иллюзий, несбывшихся надежд и преданных чувств. Не трагедия, но – тихая, незаметная драма человеческой жизни…

Каковы могут быть последствия злоупотребления сверхъестественными способностями и как тотальное неверие может навредить? Как один необдуманный поступок может сильно изменить и даже сломать жизнь человека? В повести «Заколдованная жизнь» русская писательница и знаток оккультных наук Е. П. Блаватская рассказывает нам о возможных последствиях неправильного пути. Ее работа заставляет задуматься о вопросах раскрытия сверхъестественных способностей, тайнах сновидений, парапсихологии и сознания.

Роман `Обломов` (1859), завоевав огромный успех, спровоцировал бурные споры. Сторонники одного мнения трактовали обломовщину как символ косности России с `совершенно инертным` и `апатичным` главным героем романа. Другие видели в романе философское осмысление русского национального характера, особого нравственного пути, противостоящего суете всепоглощающего прогресса. Независимо от литературной критики, мы имеем возможность соприкоснуться с тонким психологическим рисунком, душевной глубиной...

A major discovery, with echoes of Clarice Lispector, Llansol's groundbreaking linked novellas present her unique literary vision of writing as lived life, conjuring historical figures and their ideas into her world. «I live what I have written (and what I have yet to write), as posthumous work. Its longevity will outlive mine. It will have to exist by itself.»
