Kokoro (1914) is a novel by Natsume Sōseki. Set during a period of modernization in Japan, Kokoro is a story of family, faith, and tragedy that explores timeless themes of isolation and identity. Spanning generations, Kokoro is a classic novel from one of Japan's most successful twentieth century writers.
Tradition and change, life and death--such are the subjects of Sōseki's masterful, understated tale of unassuaged guilt. On vacation with a friend, the narrator meets an older man who becomes a patient mentor for the young student. Soon, he begins visiting Sensei and his wife at their home in Tokyo, where they live an affluent, simple life. As the years go by, the narrator becomes aware of a secret from Sensei's past, which his mentor promises to reveal when the time is right. When his father falls ill--around the time of the end of Meiji society--the narrator returns home to be closer to his family. As he tries to remain positive around so much sorrow, he begins to miss his Sensei, who is now getting old himself. As his father prepares to leave the mortal world, the narrator receives a lengthy letter from Tokyo, containing his Sensei's story within. As one era merges into the next, he reads of the suffering and mistakes his Sensei experienced and incurred on his path through life, drawing them closer and leaving the narrator with some wisdom to remember him by.
Eminently human, Kokoro is a beloved story of isolation, morality, and conflict from a master of Japanese fiction.
Although his work has been restricted to the short story, the essay, and poetry, Jorge Luis Borges of Argentina is recognized all over the world as one of the most original and significant figures in modern literature. In his preface, Andre Maurois writes: "Borges is a great writer who has composed only little essays or short narratives. Yet they suffice for us to call him great because of their wonderful intelligence, their wealth of invention, and their tight, almost mathematical style."
Labyrinths is a representative selection of Borges' writing, some forty pieces drawn from various books of his published over the years. The translations are by Harriet de Onis, Anthony Kerrigan, and others, including the editors, who have provided a biographical and critical introduction, as well as an extensive bibliography.
Matthew likes his life in Richmond. He has his friends, his softball, and his volunteer work. And he has a very good-looking boyfriend, Brian, who he’s been happily dating for over a year now. So what if his friends tend to question just how good his boyfriend is, and so what if Brian tends to have inexplicable mood swings. And so what if Brian seems to invite Matt’s suspicions on occasion. If he just shows a little faith and trust, he’ll appreciate what he has with Brian the way he should. Right?
But suddenly, Matt finds himself in a desperate life-or-death situation on a trip overseas, and he realizes just how much he misses home, and Brian. He’s luckily rescued by a team of US Special Forces, only to immediately find out they’re a bunch of bigoted jerks. Worse, a quirk of his situation forces him to spend time with them that he’d rather not. And that’s when he finds out that first impressions can be misleading.
When called upon, he steps up when every fiber of his being tells him not to, and discovers something deep inside himself that he didn’t realize was even there. And his life will never be the same. He finds that he can, after all, make some very overdue changes in his own life.
What Matt doesn’t realize is that the bond of brotherhood runs both ways. And he winds up changing the lives of several of the men on that Special Forces team as much as they changed his. All it takes is faith and trust.

Rehvenge has always kept his distance from the Brotherhood—even though his sister is married to a member, for he harbors a deadly secret that could make him a huge liability in their war against the lessers. As plots within and outside of the Brotherhood threaten to reveal the truth about Rehvenge, he turns to the only source of light in his darkening world, Ehlena, a vampire untouched by the corruption that has its hold on him—and the only thing standing between him and eternal destruction.
Butch O'Neal is a fighter by nature. A hard-living ex-homicide cop, he's the only human ever to be allowed in the inner circle of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. And he wants to go even deeper into the vampire world—to engage in the turf war with the lessers. He's got nothing to lose. His heart belongs to a female vampire, an aristocratic beauty who's way out of his league. If he can't have Marissa, then at least he can fight side by side with the Brothers.
Fate curses him with the very thing he wants. When Butch sacrifices himself to save a civilian vampire from the slayers, he falls prey to the darkest force in the war. Left for dead, he's found by a miracle, and the Brotherhood calls on Marissa to bring him back. But even her love may not be enough to save him.
Es fühlt sich an wie ein Riss. Ein hauchfeiner Riss, tief in Rebeccas Innerem. Als ob ihr jemand mit der Pinzette ein Härchen ausgerupft hätte. Was bleibt: ein sonderbares Gefühl von Leere und der Angst.
Doch dann taucht Lucian auf, wie aus dem Nichts. Ein Junge ohne Vergangenheit, jemand, der sich nicht erinnern kann, wer er ist oder wo er herkommt. Aber Lucian gibt Rebecca mit einem Mal das Gefühl, dass sie nicht mehr allein ist.
Rebecca schaut eines Tages aus dem Fenster und sieht zum ersten Mal den wunderlichen Jungen, welcher sie zu verfolgen scheint. Sie fühlt sich zu diesem Lucian hingezogen und verliebt sich bald unsterblich. Sie kann nicht wissen, dass Lucian bei ihrer Mutter in Therapie geht.
Diese bekommt Angst um ihre Tochter und verfrachtet sie kurzerhand nach Amerika zu ihrem Vater. Rebecca reagiert mit einer starken Depression und muss in eine Klinik. Keiner glaubt ihr, dass Lucian ihr Engel ist, der nur ihre Rettung im Sinn hat, denn er weiß um eine tödliche Gefahr.
Der neue Roman von Abedi überschreitet die Grenze zum Erwachsenenbuch leicht. Er ist eine Studie über Liebe, Jugend und unsere Zeit. Es dauert lange, bis die Leser erkennen, dass sie einen Fantasyroman in Händen halten und die Spannung, wer dieser Lucian wirklich ist, treibt zum Dauerlesen an.
