Hello. I'm presenting you three book summaries and two questions.

QUESTION ONE: Disregarding 1) whether you recognise the book 2) you find the plot described intriguing, would this amount of information and the way it's presented be sufficient to get you interested in the book? As in, does it have enough information about the plot and is that information presented interestingly enough to help you make an informed decision whether the book would be interesting to you?

QUESTION TEO (poll in reblog): would you recognise those books?

"A young woman is married to her mother’s ex-lover. Stuck in his house by the sea and ignored by her husband, she engages in a short affair. The evidence of the affair stays hidden for years."

"After being cheated on by his wife, a king loses all trust in others. He decides to marry whoever arouses his interest and kill his new wife after satisfying his desire during their wedding night. A cunning and brave woman tries to stop this circle of violence by telling the king stories every night, ending on a cliffhanger as morning dawns, so the king will spare her life for another day.”

"A 19th century widow from high society puts an ad in the newspaper detailing that she is pregnant and neither knows how that happened, nor who the father is. She kindly asks the man in question to respond to the ad so she can marry him.”

Bonus: The books in question

I just finished reading the last book of the year (a history of the soviet union), and now I can finally share this list with you all. If you wanna talk about any of these books, feel free to message or tag onto this post or whatever :D

Having lots of fun with the current WIP, a story about three friends who form a loose polycule; one of them is working on a study about the suicide of Heinrich von Kleist and the narrator is staging a play by Kleist. They have to deal with various forms of grief as people close to them have committed suicide, which strains their relationship as well, and the narrator also falls in love with a woman named Mary (named for the woman who committed suicide with Kronprinz Rudolf of Habsburg, do you sense a theme?). It's influenced by Thomas Bernhard, my favorite author and not as heavily influenced by Gothic fiction as I'd probably like at least not in the finished project (but I have a Gothic novel on the back burner).

It's presented as Notes written by the unnamed narrator and I am literally keeping a notebook that I handwrite into which is the closest to role-playing as my characters I've ever gotten.

I got your message -- in most cases I've found that I'd been paying palimony through my company and my ex's don't even have custody and frankly neither do I.

News that you and Mary Ella have decided to live in the Tuscany house at Johns Hopkins is welcoming news --they're givingg me a porche apprantly and the Provost is the driver -due3in part he needs my protection as an SRR Ghurk.

And so do you and Mary Ella. La vida en la grande fin exito luchar par qual quier vivir en paz de la mente silencio --en la issue

no mi obtene mi respeto de mi padre en mi joven escrito con peqeno pocketas --estudiar computense mi amor un torturado missionare

quien madre (step) morir

con ella son joven

Not much was expected of a poor hungry writer studying computers who was engaged to a raped teacher nun!.

I was 5'9 175-180 Lb and in secret-- my grandmother wouldnt let us in the house after our date to the movies nor did she leave a will.

I have a secret -- That was all I needed that was every motivation that that i needed to fight for for my honour and the one I'd marry.C- the question brought to light --what possesses me to fight much larger foes --I am only at this point 6'3.25 177 Lb

Its because she was a nun she was first true love and she was molested and raped and had herpes and chlymedia --and it made a man of me.

As for you -I have three children with you --Justine/ Durrell and Peter

Salazar. Francisco Salazar the Portugues Dictator was my grandfathers best friend who was his Auctioneer/Antiquing partner he gave my grandfather a gift --an 17 th Century French Imperial Vanity Table which was a family heirloom until my grandfather the Ambassador Emilio Dimayuga Bejasa died in 2014.

After my grandmother died of a stroke in Jaffa Israel at the tender age of 42 having had to raise 13 children one died not long after he was born his name was Pee Wee --my grandfather had a new post in Bonne and he met Baroness Monique Von Kleist who made a wonderful Duck Ala Orange.

And they'd go t Operas and Orchestras together she was the sister of Eric Von Kleist the ring leader of Operation Valkery the attempted Assassination of Hitler. Monique was married to a CIA USAF intelligence officer who died in a car crash before she met the Ambassador.

They moved to New York for his new post in the UN where he was also stationed with the World Heallth Organization they lived at 73rd and York in a White Apartment Complex.

My mother and her sister Gina worked at Bank of New York which ws their first job out of Boarding School from Fribourg Switzerland and studied for a time at Hunter.

In 2002 another scandal rocked the figure skating community during the Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. During the pairs skating event, the Russian pairs team Yelena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze narrowly beat the Canadian pair Jamie Sale and David Pelletier. Such controversy erupted over the perceived error that an investigation eventually revealed that the French figure skating judge Marie Reine Le Gougne had been pressured into a vote swapping deal with the Russians to vote in favor of the Russian pair. Should I try one more time to reach out and educate or is it a lost cause?? Help!!o feel like I should let her know paparazzi is an mlm bc it's worked in the past. I'm also going to offer to help her with a resume and try to find her a clerical part time gig within my network. I also think the library is hiring so that's worth a shot??. I understand your unhappiness with the overly performative "wokeness", obsessive focus, brash "canceling", and polarizing 포항출장마사지 threads. Some of that is just the internet/Reddit, but let not forget where all this increasing awareness stems from the good and the bad. For many POC, racism is something we face everyday, whether blatant or in the form of a more subtle microaggression. You are her mother, not the other way around. She made the decision to have you and with that comes caring for, raising and supporting you, not to have someone who can support her. She shouldn't expect you to take care of her 포항출장마사지 and you shouldn't feel guilty for going off on your own now that you're an adult. Then take the defective part in for a side by side comparison with the replacement part to double check the match before you purchase it. As a last resort, you can write to the manufacturer. In most cases, they will refer you to an area appliance parts dealer.. 2 points submitted 1 month agoI have tried to do so, it is possible to drop the box in the back but it not feasible, from my point of view, especially as a starter ship. The Aurora (and 300 series) got the climb ladder fix awhile ago but the Mustang never did. If they used a fix that utilizes the Beta spin chair to set it behind, that would be good OR a simple.16 SCU (or whatever the delivery box capacity is) lift would be fine also. Scientists even built jars to hold this fluid and study its effects. The Dutch instrument makers Ewald von Kleist and Pieter van Musschenbroek created what is now known as a Leyden jar, a glass jar containing water and a nail that could store an electrical charge. The first time Musschenbroek used the jar, he received a massive shock.. Many children happen to create stuffed animals covered in mud in their backyards all the time. The difference between mud daubed toys in a San Francisco museum and dirty stuffed animals in your backyard comes down, essentially, to intent and effort. The creator of the San Francisco exhibit intended the work as an artistic expression (we hope). Took me about 6 months to work up the courage to go in and tell them I had a similar name to their business and to please not sue me, LOL. The manager was like YOU! You are the reason I fight with customers about not having cement pots in stock, hahaha. She was very nice about it.. Useless. There was also a big flashy TV constantly playing science stuff, I think. Like yeah, science is very important, but all of this was so shallow and ridiculous.

Letzthin saß ich auf einer Bank im Jard, einer öffentlichen, aber wenig besuchten Promenade, und es fing schon an finster zu werden, als mich jem(a)nd den ich nicht kannte mit einer Stimme anredete, als ob sie P.. aus der Brust genommen gewesen wäre. Ich kann Ihnen die Wehmuth nicht beschreiben, die mich in disem Augenblik ergriff. Und sein Gespräch war auch ganz so tief und innig, wie ich es nur, einzig auf der Welt, kennen gelernt habe. Es war mir als ob er bei mir säße wie in jenem Sommer vor 3 Jahren wo wir in jeder Unterredung immer wieder auf den Tod, als das ewige Refrain des Lebens zurük kamen.

STEFAN ZWEIG

Ülkemizde Satranç adlı kısa öyküsüyle ve psikolojik tahlillerle desteklediği muhteşem biyografi eserleriyle tanınan Avusturyalı roman, tiyatro, biyografi yazarı ve gazeteci Stefan Zweig, 28 Kasım 1881 yılında Viyana’da doğdu. Zweig, edebiyatla küçük yaşlarda tanıştı ve bu alanda son derece üst düzey eğitimler aldı. İngilizce, Fransızca, İtalyanca, Latince ve Yunanca öğrenen yazar aynı zamanda felsefe eğitimi de aldı. Başlangıçta şiirle ilgilenen yazar, büyük ölçüde Prag doğumlu büyük Alman şair Rainer Maria Rilke’den etkilenmişti. Charles Baudelaire’nin ve Verlaine’nin şiir çevirilerini Almancaya kazandıran Zweig, daha sonra Güney Asya’ya ve Amerika kıtasındaki birçok ülkeyi gezdi. I.Dünya Savaşı’nda gönüllü olarak arşiv memurluğu yaptı ve savaşın ardından ülkesine dönüp Salzburg’a yerleşti. Burada ilk eşi Frederike Von Winternit ile evlendi ve uzun bir süre burada yaşadı. Zweig, burada edebiyat alanındaki en üretken dönemini geçirdi. Birçok ünlü isimle tanıştı. Bu isimler arasında Thomas Mann, James Joyce gibi büyük realist ustaların yanında bilim-kurgunun babalarından biri sayılan Zaman Makinesi kitabıyla ünlü H.G Wells ve Also Sprach Zarathustra adlı muhteşem bestesiyle tanınan Richard Strauss da vardı. Stefan Zweig kitapları birçok türde kendilerinden söz ettirmektedir. Zweig; öykü, roman, ve tiyatro oyunu dışında biyografi ve deneme kitapları da yazdı. Stefan Zweig eserleri arasında ayrıcalıklı bir konumda olan biyografilerde yazar; edebiyat, felsefe ve siyaset alanında öne çıkan isimlerin hayatını kaleme aldı. Bu biyografiler arasında “Üç Büyük Usta: Balzac, Dickens, Dostoyevski”; “Kendi İçindeki Şeytanla Savaşanlar: Hölderlin, Kleist, Nietzsche”; Marie Antoinette, Magellan, Amerigo, Fouche, Erasmus, Stendahl eserleri dikkat çekmektedir. Stefan Zweig’ın öykü ve roman türünde en bilinen eserleri Satranç, Acımak (yeni baskıyla birlikte “Sabırsız Yürek” ismini almıştır), Olağanüstü Bir Gece adlı kitaplarıdır. Özellikle Satranç, artık yazarın ismiyle bütünleşmiş bir eser olarak dünya çapında büyük ilgiyle okunmuştur. Olağanüstü Bir Gece 1922 yılında yayımlandı ve burjuva olarak dertsiz bir yaşam sürdüren bir adamın giderek duyarsızlaşmasını konu edindi. Acımak (1939) veya güncel adıyla Sabırsız Yürek, merhamet duygusunun insanlara ne denli felaketler getirebileceğini anlatır. 1942 yılında yayımlanan Satranç özet olarak Dr. B adında bir adamın hikayenin anlatıcısına oyunu satranç tahtası olmadan kendi kafasında oynayarak öğrenmesiyle ilgili olay örgüsüyle okuyucuları etkilerken II. Dünya Savaşı yıllarındaki Gestapo zulmünü de okuyucuya yansıtmaktan geri kalmaz. Yazarın en sevilen diğer kitapları arasında Amok Koşucusu, Bir Kadının Yaşamından 24 Saat, Bilinmeyen Bir Kadının Mektubu bulunmaktadır. Stephen Zweig, II. Dünya Savaşı yıllarında Avusturya’nın İlhakı (Anschluss) neticesiyle Yahudi asıllı olması nedeniyle ülkesinden sürüldü. Sürgündeki ilk hayatına İngiltere’deyken başlayan yazar daha sonra Brezilya’ya gitti ve 2. Evliliğini yaptığı Lotte Altman ile Rio de Janeiro’ya yerleşti. Yazar, Hitler’in getirdiği faşist dünya düzeninin değişmeyeceğini sanarak büyük bir kedere ve umutsuzluğa kapıldı ve eşiyle birlikte intihar etti.

How are your autodidact studies going? :)

Pretty well! Since I’ve gone abroad I’ve been focusing on some interesting biographies I brought with me (Mary Stuart and Heinrich von Kleist), but recently I’ve also discovered some excellent transliterations of Babylonian and Assyrian literature with full translations so I can continue my Mesopotamian studies online (:
