New Releases by John Green

Eseuri despre o planetă ocupată de om De la autorul bestsellerurilor Sub aceeași stea și Un șir infinit de țestoase În Antropocen, nu există observatori dezinteresați, ci doar participanți. Antropocenul este un termen propus pentru actuala eră geologică, în care oamenii au remodelat profund planeta și biodiversitatea sa. În această formidabilă colecție de eseuri adaptate și dezvoltate din faimosul său podcast, folosind scala de cinci stele și inspirându-se din experiența sa ca recenzent de carte, John Green scrie despre diversele fațete ale planetei noastre în care suntem creatura dominantă — de la tastatura QWERTY și apusuri de soare la gâștele canadiene și Pinguinii din Madagascar. Amuzante, complexe și bogate în detalii, aceste recenzii inedite cartografiază contradicțiile contemporaneității. Ca specie, suntem totodată prea puternici și nu îndeajuns de puternici, un paradox care a ajuns în centrul atenției odată cu apariția pandemiei actuale, care ne-a separat, dar a și întărit legăturile dintre noi. „Cărțile lui John Green se află în topul listelor de bestselleruri New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today. „Un autor genial. Sub aceeași stea este una dintre cele mai autentice și mai emoționante povești de dragoste din literatura americană recentă, dar și o tragedie existențială de o forță ieșită din comun, impregnată de curaj și tristețe." — Time Magazine „John Green îmbină magistral gravitatea și firescul în acest imn închinat spiritului omenesc." — Washington Post

Mas tudo muda na noite em que ela invade seu quarto e o convoca para uma grande aventura. E então desaparece no dia seguinte.

Printz Honor Book Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist New York Times Bestseller When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton’s type is girls named Katherine.

The Kuczynskis were a German-Jewish family of active anti-fascists who worked assiduously to combat the rise of Nazism before and during the course of the Second World War. This book focuses on the family of Robert and his wife Berta – both born two decades before the end of the nineteenth century – and their six children, five of whom became communists and one who worked as a Soviet agent. The parents, and later their children, rejected and rebelled against their comfortable bourgeois heritage and devoted their lives to the overthrow of privilege and class society. They chose to do this in a Germany that was rapidly moving in the opposite direction. With the rise of German nationalism and then Hitler fascism, the family was confronted with stark choices and, as a result of making these choices, suffered persecution and exile. Revealing how these experiences shaped their outlook and perception of events, this book documents the story of the Kuczynskis for the first time in the English language and is a fascinating biographical portrait of a unique and radical family.

Every town has one and every one has a story. This is just one of them, with a "Twilight Zone" style twist thrown-in for good measure. "Up ahead at the sign post..." They say you can never go back and maybe you shouldn''t. Thirty two years after he left his hometown, Jonathan Moran returns to visit his dying father and spends a long afternoon driving down "memory lane" only to find a portal to the past and maybe a date with destiny. This is a story of a town the way it was and never will be again. And a tavern like thousands of others across America that shaped many a memory and many a life.

This expansive history depicts Latin America''s pan-regional culture of political murder. Unlike typical studies of the region, which often focus on the issues or trends of individual countries, this work focuses thematically on the nature of political murder itself, comparing and contrasting its uses and practices throughout the region. W. John Green examines the entire system of political murder: the methods and justifications the perpetrators employ, the victims, and the consequences for Latin American societies. Green demonstrates that elite and state actors have been responsible for most political murders, assassinating the leaders of popular movements and other messengers of change. Latin American elites have also often targeted the potential audience for these messages through the region''s various "dirty wars." In spite of regional differences, elites across the region have displayed considerable uniformity in justifying their use of murder, imagining themselves in a class war with democratic forces. While the United States has often been complicit in such violence, Green notes that this has not been universally true, with US support waxing and waning. A detailed appendix, exploring political murder country by country, provides an additional resource for readers.

Nur wer Liebe wagt, kann Liebe gewinnen Sie heißen beide Will Grayson, wohnen beide in Chicago, sind beide siebzehn und tragen neben demselben Namen und demselben Alter dasselbe Problem mit sich herum: Aus lauter Angst, das Ding mit der Liebe zu versemmeln, lassen sie sich auf Romantisches gar nicht erst ein. Der eine Will zögert seit Wochen, sich selbst das einzugestehen, was für alle anderen offensichtlich ist: dass er nämlich bis über beide Ohren in seine wunderbare Mitschülerin Jane verliebt ist. Der andere Will flüchtet sich lieber in seine dubiose Online-Beziehung zu einem gewissen Isaac, anstatt sich im real life vor seinen Freunden zu outen. Doch alles ändert sich, als Will & Will eines Abends ganz zufällig aufeinandertreffen ...
