Description: Popular poet and author Frances Mayes transports you to the sundrenched heart of Italy with this lyrical best-seller. Packed with the tastes and pleasures of Italian life, her extraordinary memoires celebrate the fascinating lifestyle she discovered in the spectacular Tuscany countryside.
When she first sees the abandoned villa on the hillside, Frances knows she must make it her own. Each day with her Italian property brings fresh challenges and delightful surprises. When layers of paint are removed in her dining room, an ancient, faded fresco appears - only to be marred with a workman's note to himself in black marker. Struggling to clear dense weeds, she uncovers both a long lost vineyard and a crumbling Etruscan stone wall.
A feast for the senses, 'Under the Tuscan Sun' explores the fascinating people, landscape, and history of Italy - all liberally seasoned with hearty recipes. As Barbara Caruso dramatically narrates, centuries-old hill towns and salt-of-the-earth characters burst colorfully from the pages.

Description: Dette er fortellingen om fiskeren Markus og hans forhold til liv og død, mennesker og dyr, havet og himmelen. Det er en enkel, men samtidig en vesentlig bok om fromhetens nådegave. Gjennom den ydmyke, enfoldige sørlandsfiskeren Markus formidler Gabriel Scott det klare budskap om takknemlighet og nøysomhet, om åpenhet og trofasthet som en betingelse for likevekt, ro, indre lykke og sinnets rikdom.

Description: October first, the air is still warm, but fall is rolling in. Thirteen-year-old Douglas Spaulding, his younger brother Tom, and their friends do their best to take advantage of these last warm days, rampaging through the ravine, tormenting the girls...and declaring war on the old men who run Green Town, IL. For the boys know that Mr. Quartermain and his cohorts want nothing more than to force them to put away their wild ways, to settle down, to grow up. If only, the boys believe, they could stop the clock atop the courthouse building. Then, surely, they could hold onto the last days of summer…and their youth. But the old men were young once, too. And Quartermain, crusty old guardian of the school board and town curfew, is bent on teaching the boys a lesson. What he doesn't know is that before the last leaf turns, the boys will give him a gift: they will teach him the importance of not being afraid of letting go.
