Описание: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A sharp, funny grammar guide they'll actually want to read, from Random House's longtime copy chief and one of Twitter's leading language gurus
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY O: The Oprah Magazine - Paste - Shelf Awareness
"Essential (and delightful )"--People We all write, all the time: books, blogs, emails. Lots and lots of emails. And we all want to write better. Benjamin Dreyer is here to help. As Random House's copy chief, Dreyer has upheld the standards of the legendary publisher for more than two decades. He is beloved by authors and editors alike--not to mention his followers on social media--for deconstructing the English language with playful erudition. Now he distills everything he has learned from the myriad books he has copyedited and overseen into a useful guide not just for writers but for everyone who wants to put their best prose foot forward. As authoritative as it is amusing, Dreyer's English offers lessons on punctuation, from the underloved semicolon to the enigmatic en dash; the rules and nonrules of grammar, including why it's OK to begin a sentence with "And" or "But" and to confidently split an infinitive; and why it's best to avoid the doldrums of the Wan Intensifiers and Throat Clearers, including "very," "rather," "of course," and the dreaded "actually." Dreyer will let you know whether "alright" is all right (sometimes) and even help you brush up on your spelling--though, as he notes, "The problem with mnemonic devices is that I can never remember them." And yes: "Only godless savages eschew the series comma." Chockful of advice, insider wisdom, and fun facts, this book will prove to be invaluable to everyone who wants to shore up their writing skills, mandatory for people who spend their time editing and shaping other people's prose, and--perhaps best of all--an utter treat for anyone who simply revels in language. Praise for Dreyer's English

Описание:
Isacq is fiction based on the early life of the author's direct ancestor Johannes Augustinus Dreyer (1689-1759). Commencing with a long flashback from the Cape of Good Hope in 1738, it novelizes his adventures in the five years from 1708, when he was a student at the University of Rostock, to 1713, when he signed on with the Dutch East India Company as an adelbors, or midshipman, under the Catalan alias Isacq d'AlguE ("of Alghero"). He would go by this alias for many years at the Cape, until he admitted his real identity in his last will and testament and asked his children to resume using the surname Dreyer.
Isacq fights a fatal duel in Swedish Wismar, flees to London, enters the English secret service under the spymaster-novelist Daniel Defoe, is sent as a secret agent to Herrenhausen, the palace at Hannover of the Elector Georg Ludwig (the future King George I of England), where he is employed by the philosopher Leibniz and imagines himself foiling a Jacobite plot to murder the Elector and his son. He falls in love, ships out on a Dutch vessel in the War of the Spanish Succession, is captured by Algerine pirates in the Mediterranean, escapes when their xebec is sunk, and travels across Sardinia to the Catalan city of Alghero, which has become an Allied base supplying the troops fighting in Spain.
On November 8, 1713, the man calling himself Isacq d'AlguE arrived at the Cape, where he would marry and father six children, from whom many thousands of South Africans alive today are descended, the author of this novel among them.

Описание: Tomorrow. For ten long years, that was a word no one was willing to say. The virus took so many, and the few left behind lived a hollow life, scrounging in the ruins of a dead society. Now, that is finally beginning to change. More and more people are flocking to Sandy McDermott's banner, and with each new soul the group becomes stronger and more self-reliant. The virus still lingers, though. In the air, the water, the food they eat, and even inside their own bodies. Only their meagre immunity stands between them and the walking death. They live with the constant fear that the virus could mutate at any time, or that their own children may not inherit the gene that grants them immunity. In the darkness, a beacon of hope has appeared, a shining light to guide their way to a new tomorrow. There is a rumour that a cure for the virus was discovered, a vaccine that could finally render Ebola X obsolete forever, if they can only find it. This is the dawn of humanity's reawakening. If the rumours turn out to be true, it will be their salvation. There will be nothing left to hold them back. They will be able to build their new city, and unite the remaining survivors with a shared vision of hope. Are the rumours true, though? There's no way to know - but only one way to find out. THE SURVIVORS: A tale of love, hope, and humanity set against the backdrop of post-apocalyptic New Zealand.

Описание: The world changed overnight. A deadly virus struck, killing billions outright and reducing many more to harmless, hapless zombies. Only a handful of unlucky souls were spared, thanks to a rare genetic immunity. Now, a decade after the virus devastated humanity, cities that once teemed with life are empty, the streets silent and crumbling. Those few who survived are alone in the world. Completely, utterly alone. Sandy McDermott is one of those survivors, a solitary woman alone in a world without rules. The last decade has not been kind to her. She struggles to balance the unbearable pain of isolation with the perils of this bold new world, without losing her humanity along the way. Humankind's extinction event has come and gone. She has survived. Now, can she find a way to live? THE SURVIVORS: A tale of love, hope, and humanity set against the backdrop of post-apocalyptic New Zealand.

Описание: The worst has happened. Humanity has fallen. There is no future. There is no hope. Ten years earlier, a deadly virus wiped out the majority of the human species, with the exception of a handful of souls who possess a rare genetic immunity. Now, a terrible new enemy has emerged, one that threatens to destroy everything the survivors have worked so hard to build. In its darkest hour, humanity needs a hero. Sandy McDermott has decided that she will be that hero. Not because she's special, because she isn't. She's not particularly strong, gifted, or unique in any way. No, she will become a hero because her family need it. Heroes are not born, but forged by dire need and tempered by experience, when ordinary people step forward and perform extraordinary deeds in the name of the greater good. THE SURVIVORS: A tale of love, hope, and humanity set against the backdrop of post-apocalyptic New Zealand.
