Описание: A "marvelously macabre" (Kirkus Reviews) history of the bizarre afterlives of corpses of the celebrated and notorious dead. For some of the most influential figures in history, death marked the start of a new adventure. The famous deceased have been stolen, burned, sold, pickled, frozen, stuffed, impersonated, and even filed away in a lawyer's office. Their fingers, teeth, toes, arms, legs, skulls, hearts, lungs, and nether regions have embarked on voyages that crisscross the globe and stretch the imagination. Counterfeiters tried to steal Lincoln's corpse. Einstein's brain went on a cross-country road trip. And after Lord Horatio Nelson perished at Trafalgar, his sailors submerged him in brandy--which they drank. From Alexander the Great to Elvis Presley, and from Beethoven to Dorothy Parker, Rest in Pieces connects the lives of the famous dead to the hilarious and horrifying adventures of their corpses, and traces the evolution of cultural attitudes toward death.

Описание: An abused woman is the greatest composer who ever lived. The sixth book of prose and poetry from the mind of a woman named Carmen Angelina Coletti, a prodigy who was taken out of school when she was twelve years old and isolated from the world. Her simple, honest voice remains the picture of a young and reclusive country wife. Abused since early childhood, her music is her refuge, with a gift for composition so complete that she is likely the world's first female great composer, some believing her to be the most gifted composer of all time. Conceived and written for her own private journals, these verses are the soul of a poet and musical genius, as if arisen from another place along the timeline--from the heart of an abused woman of faith who was raised in isolation, by a mother driven to madness by grief.

Описание: A twelve year old girl is murdered by her mother and father. A truthful and disturbing glimpse at child abuse and molestation in the life of Sarah Maria Iris, as her family descends from the suburban middle class into a life of poverty. Her innocent but insightful voice is the portrait of a child held prisoner by cruel, unloving parents. Imprisoned and abused before her death, she records the shocking events in letters motivated by fear and depression. Told from the pages of her journal, the story uncovers the tragic home life of Sarah and her older sister Sharon, as they struggle to cope with a sadistic, domineering mother.
