It's no-holds-barred murder… Lindsey Norris is finally getting married to the man of her dreams—but it's not all roses for Briar Creek's beloved library director, as town newcomer Aaron Grady gives the term "book lover" a whole new meaning. Inappropriate looks and unwelcome late-night visits to Lindsey's house have everyone from the crafternooners to Lindsey's fiancé, Sully, on edge. When Grady's dead body is found outside the library and all the clues point to Sully, Lindsey knows it's up to her to find the real culprit and clear Sully's name. But becoming a thorn in the killer's side is not without its consequences, and the closer Lindsey gets to the truth, the more determined the murderer is to make her just a footnote.

After giving us a fascinating reading of Cervantes' classic novel in Don Quixote: Fighting Melancholia, Françoise Davoine and Jean-Max Gaudillière co-author a second work, to reflect on the hero's battle against perversion. To do so, they retrace his adventures in the Cervantes' second Don Quixote, written ten years after the first. The authors follow in his footsteps as he embarks on this other extraordinary journey in which perversion is laid bare for all to see, creating not only a powerful social link, but even a form of government. Cervantes shows us how madness acts as a means to confront it: here again, the field of action presented to the reader is explored in rigorous detail. The reliability of this strategy derives from the power of the given word, which has to oppose lies, seduction, secrets, trickery and crime, in order to confer authenticity to what madness reveals.
“Meaningless, meaningless, everything is meaningless.” The word “meaningless” (hebel) appears more than 40 times in the book of Ecclesiastes and raises the question why a book that appears to deny meaning or purpose is included in the Bible. Many questions of interpretation as well as relevance surround the book of Ecclesiastes, including indeed the proper translation and understanding of the word hebel. If, after all, the book does examine the question of the meaning of life, what could be more important? The present volume explores Ecclesiastes/Qohelet on many different levels: linguistic, text-critical, theological, historical, and literary. The contributors, chosen from many of the leading and emerging experts on the book, present both the state of the field and their own assessment of the varied interpretive issues of Ecclesiastes. They include scholars, preachers, and philosophers. It should be helpful not only to scholars but also to all who want to study this book seriously. The first section of this volume deals with the history of interpretation. The second section is concerned with issues of history, form, and rhetoric. Section three is about key concepts and passages. The fourth section focuses on the language and grammar of Qohelet. The last section engages practical issues of interpretation. The volume is designed to provide exposure to a variety of readers who seek to engage Qohelet in fresh ways in the twenty-first century—from historians of interpretation to biblical exegetes to linguists to theological students.
Acquiring wisdom is one of the foremost quest for us, the great homosapiens or the human species! Wisdom is not always found in textbooks or in the libraries. Can you find wisdom on the sideways? Or are you too focused on what lies ahead, the never ending rat race, or your next material achievement and ignore the fact that the most profound wisdom that we can imbibe lies on the sideways of our lives, as it is happening every second with every breath of ours. We are so focused on following a routine and a never ending external competition that we conveniently ignore that life is giving us loads of wisdom with every passing second, with the challenges that are thrown upon us, the strangers we meet, sudden incidents that happen out of nowhere, the good thing and the bad ones too, and the many surprises that comes our way. While we are occupied in our minds at several places, our life touches us with so much to learn from things around us. We just need to observe it closely, sometimes, the best moments are often captured on sideways and not on the front. A Word to the Wise is a collection of 48 life strategies that can offer you a different prism to perceive and interpret wisdom to transform yourself as a person and a career professional in a very non-conventional manner. The ability to observe life, to be able to feel the rain on our palms and the wind on our face, to wander aimlessly, and to be always curious are also the traits of seeking and acquiring wisdom from the greatest teacher in this world – our life. Wisdom is always around us, while we search for it at many other places, it is waiting to be discovered by us, sitting silently on the sideways of life.
