Описание: Have you ever wondered how to travel with your favorite pet in a huge tropical country where footloose foreigners are suspect? Author Ben Batchelder abandoned a cozy corporate career and, instead of returning to the U.S. like a normal re-pat, moved deep into the interior of Brazil. Here, he drives his two-wheel drive station wagon into the Amazon, on the notoriously dangerous Bel m-Bras lia highway, and back along Brazil's endless Atlantic Coast, on roads few if any Brazilians brave. Hence the need for such a ferocious breed as Labrador: for protection. Along the way, humorous encounters with countless locals help him to plumb Brazilian culture and history, in many aspects the flip-side of the American experience, and reveal how he fell in love with Brazil's beguiling warmth in the first place - along with black Labs.

Описание: Fresh out of college, a lost American despairs of his new career, chaotic life, and diseased family. When an invitation to Scotland falls into the depths of a New York winter, he grabs at the chance to renew himself. On a whim, he decides to save money, fly to Europe, and travel east to the ends of the earth, on $10 a day for a year or more. Here is the story of his odyssey: staying at German castles; losing several passports to thieves; disastrous brushes with lost bags, malicious customs officials, Cairo scam artists, and Thai police; dogged much of the time by illness. It is a tale of a young man losing his innocence, awakening politically, falling in love, and finding the support, and resourcefulness, to pull through the most dangerous miles of his life.

Описание: An ambitious Soul Identity story that will challenge your views on faith, courage, and conviction. 1980: Claudia Famosa is a Cuban revolutionary and exile living in Florida, mourning her lost husband. Xinya Xia lives in Manhattan, and has spent a lifetime perfecting her soul line formulas so she can someday find the twin brother from whom she was separated at birth. Her crooked business partner claims that Claudia can use Xinya's formulas to reunite with her husband's incarnation in her own next life, but only if she's willing to sacrifice everything and die in Benares, India in two short months. Present: Valentina Nikolskaya, the product of this extraordinary love story, has recently given up and divorced her pre-destined husband. Her ex-boyfriend Scott Waverly claims she has been duped, and asks for her help in finding Soul Identity's missing overseers. Thus begins Val's attempt to regain her own faith, and to discover the drama behind Claudia's and Xinya's actions. Told from the perspective of three women determined to make a difference, Soul Integrity, the third book in the Soul Identity series, is a compulsively readable and emotionally immersive adventure of faith and courage through time and history.
