Описание: Is Paris really the eternal City of Love? Dumped suddenly by her Parisian boyfriend, sultry expat Lily is left wondering if je t'aime still exists. Instead of crying into her glass of wine, she decides to heal her bruised ego and quash her romantic doubts with a carefree summer fling . . . or as the French call it: une aventure. Supported by her faithful friends and trusty Saint Amour wine, Lily embarks on her presumably easy quest. Little does she know what-or whom-this adventure has in store Rather than guide her into the arms of a perfect summer amoureux, the sexy streets of Paris lead her from one impossible candidate to another: disappearing foxy Frenchmen, unavailable Latino heartthrobs, overly-mysterious world travelers, mistress-hunting married men, and not-so-single amnesiacs-oh la la As her amorous mishaps accumulate, Lily gradually re-evaluates her strategy. But will her good intentions be enough to lead her to the right homme . . . one who might last out the summer-and maybe even beyond? Or will she continue to get embroiled in more m saventure? This novelized memoir tells the tantalizingly true romantic odyssey of a 21st-Century young woman caught in the mire of desires-which is only intensified by the passion of Paris.

Описание: Texas Hold 'Em is one on the most popular card games being played in the world today. But author William Heise thought it odd that there was not a lot of literary fiction being written on poker. As he writes in his introduction: "Golf and baseball have given us hoards of books in the 20th century on the life lessons to be learned from their respective games.... But when it came to poker, I found that most recent literature on the subject was confined to the rough-and-tumble world of poker written by those who had experienced the up-and-down lifestyle for themselves." Noting that poker relies on bluffing as much or more than on the cards themselves, Heise has written a series of short stories which trade on this unique aspect of the game. In his frame narrative, a kid (known only as 'the Kid') breezes into Las Vegas the day after his 21st birthday and sits down at a table with an old-timer (known only as 'the Old-Timer'). The Old-Timer proceeds to tell the Kid a series of short stories on seemingly unrelated matters: * Tales of actors and directors * Tales of riverboat gamblers and chess masters* Tales of mobsters and Texas cheats * Even a tale of the Devil himself Each poker tale is worth reading on its own, but the question that arises in the frame narrative becomes whether the Old-Timer is simply the kindly old man that the Kid takes him to be, or whether he has a more devious purpose in mind when he invites the Kid to sit down and play this simple game with him.

Описание: Spenser's introductory Book of Holinesse is frequently cited by scholars as holding the key to all else that happens in The Faerie Queene, but no one has ever been able to exactly define what is going on in that book. William Heise believes this is because Spenser was writing for a Reformation audience whose ideals have been replaced in the modern era by the Enlightenment's more scientific approach to experience. This causes modern critics to translate Spenser's presumably na ve allegorical poetry into more precise scientific terms in the belief that modern science is generally able to make sense of poetry in ways that Reformation thinkers never could. However, Heise points out that Enlightenment thinkers based their science on Ren Descartes belief that he had discovered the means of combining natural ontology with the human being's epistemology in a single place, an achievement that that eluded not only previous modern humanists but ancient philosophers, as well. That fact caused the modern world to leap past the ancients in science, but it also caused them to leave behind some of the older philosophers that had played such a large role in pre-Enlightenment philosophical systems. One of the most important of these was Saint Augustine, who believed that there was a necessary breach in rational experience that only faith could supply. By reasserting the priority of Augustine over Descartes in Spenser's pre-Enlightenment thought, Heise is able to make sense of several cruces in The Faerie Queene. But he does more than that. He challenges the modern critical assumption of priority over Reformation thought in an era in which Enlightenment thought is sporting paradoxes that, as Augustine predicted 1,000 years before the advent of Descartes' perfect philosophy, are not possible to overcome through reason alone.
