Описание:
I never asked to become a princess. My plan was to graduate college and take over my uncle's karate dojo. Instead, my parents dropped me off in a castle full of strangers to learn how to take over a kingdom. I'm bored, I can't kick anyone, and there's one major problem - I think one of my new teachers is trying to kill me.
In this Choose the Ending Novel, follow the story of Marina, reluctant princess and heir to the throne, as she meets the warm-hearted King Cyrus, the snarky Prince Julian, the cunning Prince Nikos, the wise Evann, and the mysterious Tai - five handsome strangers who are undetermined as friend or foe.

Описание:
In By a Lake Near a Moon: Fishing with the Chinese Masters, a collection of 114 poems-variations based on Kenneth Rexroth's translation, 100 Poems from the Chinese (New Directions, 1971)-poet DeWitt Clinton places the poems in a contemporary landscape of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with lyrical scenes of the changes of seasons, the Lake Michigan beach front, bridges across the Milwaukee rivers, and roads and highways of the nearby countryside. While the themes of the classical Chinese poets (8th-13th Centuries)-Tu Fu, Meo Yao Ch'en, Ou Yang Hsiu, Su Tung Po, The Poetess Li Ch'ing Chao, Lu Yu, Chu Hsi, and Hsu Chao-remain the same, these adaptations bring life and energy from Classical China to the modern-day world with the changes in the landscape and temperament of the Chinese poets retold by a respected contemporary American Midwest poet.
Paperback 6 X 9 inches 144 pages including front and back matter.
Situated in the tradition of poetic improvisation, Clinton's work engages the Classical Chinese Masters within the dimensions of present experience. Lucid and hewn, poignant and fragile, his is a poetry of contemplation and searching. By a Lake Near a Moon sings as a collection of open-hearted grace. -John Swain, Ring the Sycamore Sky, Under the Mountain Born
DeWitt Clinton's marvelous new collection conducts a quirky, surprise-filled conversation with nine ancient Chinese poets, as translated by Kenneth Rexroth. As host of this unlikely party, Clinton riffs directly and indirectly on these classic lyrics and their timeless themes, here transplanted to 21st Century Wisconsin. The poems brim with sharp observation, deep feeling, and gracefully understated wisdom. Like their precursors, they are place- and season-haunted, alert to social and natural flux, and ultimately life-affirming. The book is hard to describe but very easy to love.
-David Graham, Stutter Monk and Second Wind
DeWitt Clinton's marvelous adaptations of Kenneth Rexroth's Chinese translations are remarkable. They preserve the serenity, lucidity and directness of great Chinese poetry while transforming its setting into the environs of Wisconsin, Milwaukee and even Europe. The speaking voice feels like that of the originals, while making its surroundings feel remade.
-John Koethe, Walking Backward: Poems 1966-2016
From the moment I opened this radiant collection, I was entranced by the intimacy, candor, and scope of Clinton's voice. "How much time do we really have with one another?" he asks in one poem, describing the "quiet task of digging / Through what I already know." Alternately tender and searching, poignant and wry, these beautifully lyrical poems create a compelling portrait of the poet's daily life as writer, husband, teacher, runner, yogi, Viet Nam war veteran, and, most important, seeker and seer. Deceptively simple in their language and architecture, these are poems that leave us "deeply grateful to be here." While inspired by Rexroth's One Hundred Poems from the Chinese, Clinton's poems are completely fresh and original, and luminous as the moon and lake in the book's title. DeWitt Clinton is the contemporary American equivalent to the Chinese sages. This is a stunning accomplishment.

Описание: The Silent Patient by way of Stephen King: Parker, a young, overconfident psychiatrist new to his job at a mental asylum miscalculates catastrophically when he undertakes curing a mysterious and profoundly dangerous patient. In a series of online posts, Parker H., a young psychiatrist, chronicles the harrowing account of his time working at a dreary mental hospital in New England. Through this internet message board, Parker hopes to communicate with the world his effort to cure one bewildering patient. We learn, as Parker did on his first day at the hospital, of the facility's most difficult, profoundly dangerous case--a forty-year-old man who was originally admitted to the hospital at age six. This patient has no known diagnosis. His symptoms seem to evolve over time. Every person who has attempted to treat him has been driven to madness or suicide. Desperate and fearful, the hospital's directors keep him strictly confined and allow minimal contact with staff for their own safety, convinced that releasing him would unleash catastrophe upon the outside world. Parker, brilliant and overconfident, takes it upon himself to discover what ails this patient and finally cure him. But from his first encounter with the mysterious patient, things spiral out of control and, facing a possibility beyond his wildest imaginings, Parker is forced to question everything he thought he knew. Fans of Sarah Pinborough's Behind Her Eyes and Paul Tremblay's The Cabin at the End of the World will be riveted by Jasper DeWitt's astonishing debut.

Описание: The election of Donald Trump as President of the United States in November 2016 was a political earthquake, one supporters and detractors alike agree has changed the course of history. The policy implications have been stark and will continue well beyond his presidency. The political implications have been perhaps even more drastic--for both political parties. Trump has shaken the 40-year-old coalition of traditional conservatives, orthodox religious voters, and free-market libertarians that has long-composed the Republican Party. The Republican Resistance: #NeverTrump Conservatives and the Future of the GOP explores the members of that coalition, especially traditional, establishment-oriented Republicans and conservative intellectuals who opposed his candidacy, who generally still oppose his presidency, and who represent the elite-in-waiting that believes it will have to rebuild the GOP when the Trump coalition implodes. In the end, The Republican Resistance argues that the Trump presidency and the #NeverTrump countermovement reflect key features of modern American politics which both major political parties must contend: the rise of a populist insurgency intent on overtaking the parties from within and challenges of embracing demographic and structural realities on the one hand while catering to a political base often built to oppose those trends on the other.
