Описание: Travelers with intermediate-level knowledge of Spanish, and students of Spanish language on intermediate or advanced levels will value this book as a key to getting past the slang barrier and grasping Spanish and its idioms as people of different regions and social classes actually speak it. Close to 4,500 words and colloquial expressions seldom found in standard English-Spanish dictionaries are listed alphabetically with definitions. Included with each entry is a phrase or a brief sentence that demonstrates how the term is used in a conversational context, followed by its meaning in English. In an engrossing preface, the author discusses the nature of slang and its uses in all languages. And since Spanish is the official language of 21 countries, each with its own regional idioms, he indicates in each of this book's entries whether the specific idiom is more commonly used in Spain or in Latin America. With the intention of being comprehensive, the author includes some entries that are generally considered vulgar, and which some readers might find offensive.

Описание: Of all the colorful figures on the twentieth-century European cultural scene, hardly anyone has provoked more polarity than Alma Schindler Mahler Gropius Werfel (1879 - 1964), mistress to a long succession of brilliant men and wife of three of the best known: composer Gustav Mahler, architect Walter Gropius and writer Franz Werfel. To her admirers Alma was a self-sacrificing socialite who inspired many great artists. Her detractors found her a self-aggrandizing social climber and an alcoholic, bigoted, vengeful harlot - as one contemporary put it, "a cross between a grande dame and a cesspool." So who was she really? When historian Oliver Hilmes discovered a treasure-trove of unpublished material, much of it in Alma's own words, he used it as the basis for his first biography, setting the record straight while evoking the atmosphere of intellectual life in Europe and then inemigre communities on both coasts of the United States after the Nazi takeover of their home territories. First published in German in 2004, the book was hailed as a rare combination of meticulously researched scholarship and entertaining writing, making it a runaway bestseller and advancing Oliver Hilmes to his position as a household name in contemporary literature. Alma Mahler was one of the twentieth century's rare originals, worthy of her immortalization in song. Oliver Hilmes has provided us with an even-handed yet tantalizingly detailed account of her life, bringing Alma's singular story to a whole new audience.

Описание:
Intended for lovers of the arts, this "big think" book engages the dynamic of culture and the creative mind. It unravels, layer by layer, misconceptions about Gustav Mahler.
Early in the 1970s Franz Loschnigg realized that a myth was developing around Mahler based on the assumptions of Henri de la Grange. Rather than accepting this work as definitive, the author turned to unique sources - the contemporary writers and poets of fin de si cle Vienna and the mid-20th century sciences of cultural anthropology and social psychology, as well as the author's own familiarity with Vienna. With a synthesis of disciplines, he revealed the illusions of an established narrative around Mahler, upon which decades of research are based.
Something like a work of investigative reporting, this is an inquiry into the dynamic of artist and culture: Mahler embedded in his culture, deconstructing notions of his childhood, with marvelous stories of ordinary life in imperial Vienna, a surprising critique of the Conservatory's composition training, and his subsequent breaking free to become a singular creative mind.

Описание:
Dr. Sebastian Stuart wants nothing more than to break out from under his father's thumb. Born after a frat-party fling, his mother abandoned him and his father left him to be raised by his grandparents. Now, Sebastian is giving up a lucrative career as a Chicago surgeon to practice in the small town of Grayson Falls, New Hampshire with his sister.
After losing her job at the library, Megan Miller took a job as Jackie and Danny McKenzie's new nanny to make ends meet. When the new doctor comes to town, Megan does everything she can to avoid him. He looks at her with knowing eyes, as if he can look deep inside her and see the illness she tries to hide.
Sebastian is enchanted by the conservative and evasive Megan. She has an aversion to doctors he doesn't understand, yet works for his sister. He's drawn to her and can't stay away. Together, they learn to break free of the limits set upon them and open themselves up to love.

At the end of human history, this banquet will be thrown for all who have responded to God's RSVP. The magnitude and size of this banquet are incomprehensible. It will include all the people of faith throughout history--the patriarchs, prophets, and apostles; the most infamous of saved sinners to the most insignificant of saints. The RSVP invitation list is growing daily, but who is invited and who will attend? This award-winning book explores these questions. It will motivate you with in-depth descriptions of the celebration from both Old and New Testament accounts. Jesus will be there The question is "Are you banquet-ready?"
