Just wonderful" -- Daily Mail When Hubert Larnaudie, chair of the management committee at his Parisian apartment building, makes an out-of-character decision to invite some fellow residents to drink an exceptional bottle of 1954 Beaujolais, he has no idea of its unique properties.

After their initial shock, the city of Edith Piaf and An American in Paris begins to work its charm on the time travelers, providing unexpected solutions to the problems they left in the future.

Through chance encounters and the magic of one of Paris's golden eras, each time traveler will find the key they were looking for.

Dance or Die
What is hardcore? It means many things to many people, and they're all correct. It's best described as a feeling, an attitude, and a way of life. Hardcore is niche, schismatic, and a global phenomenon that refuses to die. Because hardcore will never die. Its symbols have been tattooed onto millions of bodies and its relics passed down through the generations, as its sounds resound worldwide. Dance or Die is the first critical and expansive study of hardcore as a music, a subculture and an enduring "phuture" rave movement, full of colourful anecdotes and first person accounts from artists, fans and the core of hardcore. This diehard anthology tracks the outsiders and outcasts who banded together to party, in protest, over more than 30 years of obnoxious rebellion, in ecstasy and escape, as a nighttime community more family than family, who need this hard, loud, fast/slow, aggressive, noisy, occasionally silly, kick drum or breakbeat-driven dance music, to connect with people, to survive the world, and to get through the week. Hardcore: Either you're in, or you're out. And if you're in, you're in all the way, diehard and dancing to the death. Dance or Die!
Planes, Trains & Amphetamines
Rave may be the middle word in travel, but when raving reporter Kirk Field created the world's first holiday company catering exclusively to clubbers, the Rave New World threw everything it could at him: 9/11, volcanic ash clouds, suspicious customs officers, avalanches, North Sea storms, pandemics, fraudulent accountants, and the ghost of Michael Jackson. From high jinks on the high seas and insanity in Ibiza to playing in the powder of the Austrian Alps and psychic silliness on the Costa del Sol, this is the story of what happened when Kirk pioneered a new kind of tourism--for guests who weren't interested in spending the night in a five-star luxury bed (or any bed, for that matter!). An uncensored, white-knuckle ride through the side of holidays the brochures don't show you.

A Son of Night and Chaos
Undead, I walked - a storm unmade. A lust for pain became my creed.In this orgasm of vengeance, From death... I shall be freed. In the beginning, there were the Seven. Now, only fragments remain. The ancient cycle that governs all realms-Heaven, Hell, and the Mortal Plane-is collapsing. Archangels fall. Realities unravel. And Lucifer, once the brightest of the divine, stands at the heart of it all-strategist, rebel, and now, the last imprisoned hope. In a desperate attempt to outmaneuver Fate, Lucifer bends time, shatters destinies, and unearths truths long buried beneath the thrones of gods. But with each move, the universe tips closer to annihilation. Now, the last Ancients stir, old betrayals are laid bare, and humanity unknowingly inherits a fractured creation-ruled by monsters they worship as gods. The universe lies trapped in a loop of chaos and shadow. To break the cycle, a savior must rise from the ashes of divine failure.

In Farthest Seas
A breathtakingly beautiful novel about the first 4 years and last 4 months of a great love, by a "lacerating, luminous" Italian author (Jhumpa Lahiri, author of Interpreter of Maladies) Perfect for fans of short, razor-sharp modern literary classics like Annie Ernaux and Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking Upon the death of her husband, Innocenzo Monti, Lalla Romano sought to distil the essence of their long life together. The result was In Farthest Seas a piercingly intimate retelling of the first 4 years and final 4 months of their relationship, built from shard-like moments of connection and revelation. The 1st section spans the couple's early attraction, which developed through long conversations on hikes in the mountains surrounding Cuneo, to their wedding and arrival at their first home together. A subtle note of elegy sounds through these recollections of love, and this note comes to the fore in the longer 2nd section that recounts the final 4 months of Innocenzo's life. With precise artistry, Romano braids together seemingly minor details--the expressiveness of Innocenzo's hands, the beauty of his face in sleep, a fleeting instance of pallor--that come to reveal the barest truths of life and death. Unsparing yet tender, minimal yet monumental, In Farthest Seas is a startlingly moving elegy, and perhaps the greatest work by a rediscovered Italian master, who's been compared to Natalia Ginzburg and Cesare Pavese.

Judge This Book By Its Cover
We judge a book by its cover and often judge one another based on first impressions. I am an Epistle read by all men, and hopefully, upon my heart, you read the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who saves the lost. Therefore, go ahead and judge me. The judgments that are defined towards the seven churches in the book of Revelation are judgments to help us stand in the day of difficulties. Judgments are going to come, and with Christ's grace, we can stand firm in the judgments that are needed in our lives to be who God created us to be.
Terrian Journals' NSR
Terrian Journals' NSR: Not Spying, ... Really! is a collection of true stories about surprising events and unexpected consequences in many different parts of the world. NSR stories are puzzling, funny, or disconcerting. They could just as well be excerpts from a diary of espionage. But they definitely are not. Terrian Journals' NSR tells the tale of our age of misunderstanding, when the innocent can find themselves unwittingly right in the middle of the action, observing intrigues, facing accusations, and witnessing paranoia activities and abuses first hand. Terrian Journals' NSR is not about collecting intelligence. It is about how easily a person can find him/herself in a situation where intelligence is not being fully applied.
In Pursuit of Freedom
This book emerges out of a life and vocational journey of Rev Dr. Nevers Mumba. It highlights how being a man of the collar responded and extended beyond the Pastoral call into public service challenging every odd and barrier one could think of. Many politicians and some church people in Zambia and in other African countries have for long time held the belief that church and politics could not mix and that politics is a dirty game. This book is an answer to the debate of whether a Christian should be involved in politics or not and presents a strong narrative of the need to have men and women of sound morality in high places. Evil triumphs when good men do nothing is a proverb attributed to Edmund Burke that expresses the idea that inaction against evil allows it to continue or proliferate. This proverb is the hook on which this book hangs challenging the commonly held stereotype 'Politics is Dirty.' What should rather be known is that 'allowing dirty people in politics has adverse effect on a nation.' In pursuit of freedom provides details of the experiences of Dr. Nevers Mumba as living proof that men and women of right morality are well suited to serve the political office. This book is also designed to align the body of Christ to that fact of knowing that good management of the country and equitable delivery of services depends on the morality and integrity of its leaders. The discourse "In Pursuit of Freedom" is a clarion call for men and women of faith with right moral values to participate in changing the face of African politics. This is a faith generation voicing out its credentials in the political realm not only in Zambia but as an emerging geopolitical movement.
Dope Girls
The crime drama TV series Dope Girls, streaming now on Hulu, is based on this book.Set in post-World War I London, Dope Girls explores the rise of the city's underground nightlife.November 27, 1918, London. Just days after the end of the Great War, rising star Billie Carleton took to the stage for the last time. She was found dead the next day; the cause of death ruled to be a cocaine overdose.Within a few years, the story snowballed into a cautionary tale of the relationship between young women, dope and predatory men, drawing from pernicious racist myths and transforming drug use into a social menace.Dope Girls is the story of the transformation of drug use (especially morphine and cocaine, which was once commonly available in any pharmacy) into a national menace. In addition to West End musical actress Billie Carleton, its cast of characters includes Brilliant Chang, a Chinese restaurant proprietor and Edgar Manning, a jazz drummer from Jamaica. They were eventually identified as the villains of the affair and invested with a highly charged sexual menace. Around them, in the streets off Shaftesbury Avenue, there swirled a raffish group of seedy and entitled hedonists. Britain was horrified and fascinated, and so the drug problem was born amid a gush of exotic tabloid detail.Since it first appeared in 1992, Dope Girls has acquired cult classic status, and has now inspired a BBC drama series of the same name. The 2025 edition is revised and updated with new material.
