Day 7. Factions of survivors are already forming around the Fort Myers area and not everyone is keen on Frank's style of diplomatic cooperation. Some have witnessed the earlier assaults on Clownfish Cove and have studied the group's weaknesses. Frank and his people have been fortifying their subdivision since the earlier attacks, trying to fix the biggest problems, but will it be enough?

Looking for closure after a difficult experience? Think again. Closure: The Lie We Tell Ourselves, intuitive medium Kim Isherwood shatters the myth of closure and offers a radical new approach to healing and acceptance. Drawing from her years of experience connecting with the spiritual realm, Isherwood shows how the pursuit of closure can become a trap that keeps us stuck in the past, unable to move forward. With real-life examples and a down-to-earth style, she offers a fresh perspective on the complexities of grief and the power of intuition.

Frank's problems grow exponentially with each sunrise.

The prize called survival will go to whatever subdivision can pull itself together first.

Clássico absoluto da literatura moderna, Um homem só é um livro brutal que aborda o envelhecimento e a solidão de um homem gay com uma crueza lírica e necessária. Entre marés de tristeza e raiva, George, um professor inglês de meia-idade, tenta se adaptar à rotina na ensolarada Califórnia dos anos 1960 após a morte trágica de seu jovem parceiro.

Isherwood ci racconta una giornata nella vita di George, un professore inglese non più giovane che vive in California. Non è una giornata particolare per George: solo altre ventiquattr’ore senza Jim, il suo compagno morto in un incidente. Ventiquattr'ore fra il sospetto dei vicini, la consolante vicinanza di Charlotte, la rabbia contro i libri letti per una vita ma ormai inutili, e il desiderio di un corpo giovane appena intravisto ma che forse è già troppo tardi per toccare. Quanto basta per comporre un ritratto che non si può dimenticare.

Un giovane uomo, alter ego dell’autore, nel 1930 si trasferisce a Berlino per insegnare inglese. Sono gli ultimi anni della Repubblica di Weimar, poco prima dell’ascesa del Nazismo e su questo sfondo si muovono una serie di personaggi sopra le righe: artisti, intellettuali, borghesi, ricchi, poveri, folli. Tra cabaret e caffè, tra case signorili e squallide pensioni, tra file per il pane e manifestazioni di piazza, tra crisi economica, Isherwood ci consegna una purissima, scabra narrazione che ci ricorda come la Storia sia sempre contemporanea.

Following Sharon to Los Angeles, Jacob offers his healing powers for free at a church in Los Angeles, and then at a seedy stage show where his beloved Sharon also works.

Arthur Norris colpisce immediatamente l'alter ego di Christopher Isherwood, il giovane William Bradshaw, che lo incontra nello scompartimento di un treno diretto in Germania. Col tempo Norris si rivelerà un avventuriero incline al misfatto e allo sperpero, un simpatizzante comunista che folleggia disinvolto nel basso ventre della Berlino dei primi anni Trenta. In pratica l'amico perfetto per William, approdato a Berlino per vivere una vacanza prolungata, lontana dalle costrizioni della famiglia. Finché, nell'inverno del 1933, il gioco inizierà a farsi troppo serio...

Banished by bad decisions to spend the summer with his great-grandmother, Liam Peters thinks his life is over. After all, Marty Peters is a tough woman to be around. Maybe she wouldn't be so bad if she'd just take an interest in the modern technology he loves. Sure, she has some insight to her...but the woman is practically "pushing daisies". Not surprisingly, as tornado sirens announce a city-wide emergency, Liam discovers why that term should be avoided...well...like the plague.

After the EMP, Frank controls one street. A whole city surrounds him.

Search for help using their bikes? Ally with strangers two blocks over? Turtle up and hunker down for the long haul? He discovers another option inside his neighbor's garage: an ancient hot rod, immune to the effects of an EMP, is there for the taking.

One second was all it took to erase Frank's dreams. New home. New car. New retirement. Stolen by the EMP. It gets worse. Frank's neighbors failed to prepare at all, so it falls on him to keep them alive. He starts easy: stockpile food, water, and guns. Disaster lessons he'd picked up reading books about the end of the world.

Ein melancholischer Abgesang auf eine verlorene Welt: Kosmopolitisch, libertin, glamourös und dekadent - mit fotografischer Präzision erfasst Christopher Isherwood die letzten Tage der Weimarer Republik in Berlin und zeichnet unvergessliche Porträts der Menschen, die seinen Weg kreuzen und unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten: Zwei junge Männer, die in fataler Weise voneinander abhängen, eine vermögende jüdische Familie, die das nahende Unglück nicht wahrhaben will, und zahlreiche Mitglieder der Halbwelt, unter ihnen die hinreißend leichtsinnige Sally Bowles, die in der Literatur ihresgleichen sucht.
