He is a habitual thinker whose most characteristic activity is to continually refine his analysis of himself and the people around him. ![]() He is ostensibly a mathematician, but although his mind still works like that of a scientist, he has ceased to be inspired by his vocation, and finds himself in the midst of an existential crisis. Ulrich is an unmarried man in his early 30s who has recently returned to Vienna from several years abroad. Nevertheless, the writing is so precise and the argument Musil makes about Ulrich and his situation so intricate that it is intellectually and aesthetically involving even before it becomes emotionally so. The first volume of The Man without Qualities runs to 365 pages, and the dilemma of the protagonist, Ulrich, is presented only on about page 300. It is well worth reading, even though it is very long, very slow, and was unfinished at the time of Robert Musil's death. T his is one of the most prestigious novels of the 20th century the sort of book no one has read but everyone has heard of. ![]() ![]() ![]() Order may come in multiple shipments, however you will only be charged a flat fee.Ģ-10 days after all items have arrived in the warehouse Items in order will be sent as soon as they arrive in the warehouse. It's about the mutual respect of Wolves and Men. In this shape-shifting story of sexual bonding and discovery, can both Charlie and Roman find what they're looking for? It's a question of honor one that has been up for debate since the first time man set his eyes on this formidable predator. Most of all to a cowboy who was spending more time hunting him, than loving him. Roman was fearful of revealing his secret. Even though the handsome stranger seemed to vanish at times and reappear as if by magic, Charlie was infatuated by this man. What Charlie never imagined was who -or what- Roman was. ![]() One night Charlie stumbles upon Roman Burk in the woods, naked, bleeding and shivering in the cold. Satanic worship? A strange cult ritual? Whatever it was, it wasn't good for the owners or the horses on it. And if that wasn't confusing enough, strange things were happening on the ranch. But after a chance meeting with a handsome gay man who had helped Charlie change a flat tire on Interstate 80 a month ago, Charlie was beginning to wonder about his sexuality. He loved his work, the owners of the ranch, and his co-workers wranglers who helped tourists with guided horse tours and trail riding all year round. 'Cowboy' Charlie Mosby worked on a horse ranch in Heber, Utah. ![]() ![]() ![]() He was born in the archbishopric of Salzburg in 1756, and he died in the imperial capital of Vienna in 1791. Nonetheless, he was generally well liked. “As touchy as gunpowder,” one friend called him. In several pictures, his left eye droops a little, perhaps from fatigue. In one, he wears a hard, distant look in another, his face glows with sadness. Portraits suggest a man aware of his separation from the world. But he often gave the impression of being not entirely present, as if his mind were caught up in an invisible event. When he was in a convivial mood, his gaze was said to be warm, even seductive. Wolfgang Amadè Mozart, as he usually spelled his name, was a small man with a plain, pockmarked face, whose most striking feature was a pair of intense blue-gray eyes. Scholars now see Mozart not as a naïve prodigy or a suffering outcast but as a hardworking, ambitious musician. ![]() ![]() ![]() A witty, dark and imaginative adaptation of Shakepeare's play, Hag-seed manages to convincingly create a vengeful Duke Prospero from the slightly ridiculous, and certainly more sympathetic, director Felix. The novel had varying reception among critics and audiences. Thus begins his plot of revenge against those who wronged him. ![]() Having suffered in isolation, Felix is granted the position of teaching in a prison literacy program in the Fletcher County Correctional Institute. The novel centres on theatre director Felix who loses his job with Makeshiweg Theatre, and is exiled from his position in society, following his betrayal by a trusted colleague.

She’s an Edgar-award nominated screenwriter who has written for TV (cop shows!), and she comes by her interest in crime fiction honestly, as she is the daughter of a police officer father and court stenographer mother.
