A collection of brilliant short stories from a master of the form 'I alone know that I am only just beginning to live.' He is distinguished, rich, a member of fashionable society-utterly bored. But, over the course of one fantastic night, a young Baron becomes a thief, unashamed, and awakes to life for the first time. This collection is full of tales of infinite passions, of intense encounters that transform lives, a knock on a door that forces a whole community to take flight, a doomed attempt to save a soul poisoned by addiction, a love soured into awful cruelty, of longing and liberation. They are the gripping work of a master storyteller, unmatched and completely unforgettable. Stefan Zweig was born in 1881 in Vienna, into a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. He studied in Berlin and Vienna and was first known as a poet and translator, then as a biographer. Between the wars, Zweig was an international bestseller with a string of hugely popular novellas including Letter from an Unknown Woman, Amok and Fear. In 1934, with the rise of Nazism, he left Austria, and lived in London, Bath and New York - a period during which he produced his most celebrated works: his only novel, Beware of Pity, and his memoir, The World of Yesterday. He eventually settled in Brazil, where in 1942 he and his wife were found dead in an apparent double suicide. Much of his work is available from Pushkin Press.

FIVE OF STEFAN ZWEIG'S most compelling novellas are presented together in this powerful volume. Fantastic Night is the story of one transforming evening in the life of a rich and bored young man. He spends a day at the races and an evening in the seedy but thrilling company of the dregs of society. His experiences jolt him out of his languor and give him a newfound relish for life, which is then cut short by the Great War. Fantastic Night is joined by The Invisible Collection and Buchmendel, two of Zweig's most powerful works, which explore lives led in the single minded pursuit of art and literature against a backdrop of poverty and corruption. And finally, Letter from an Unknown Woman, Zweig's poignant and heartbreaking tale of the strength and madness of unrequited love and The Fowler Snared, in which it is the man whose passion remains unrequited, complete the collection.

“What to read after A Court of Thorns and Roses! Full of twists you’ll never see coming!” –UppercaseYA I’ve never been a stranger to the darkness. But when darkness comes knocking and looks that good, who wouldn’t invite him in? Draven is mysterious, evasive, and hot as sin. The only thing more infuriating than his silence is how obnoxious he is every time he does open his mouth. But when a group of strangers attacks me and he fights back—causing them to vanish into a cloud of black dust—I know Draven is more than he seems. Now I know the truth. There’s a veil separating the world I know from a world of demons living all around us. Turns out, good and evil are just words. Some of the demons don’t fall into either category. And I’m realizing just how easily I fit in among the ancient warlocks, the divine soldiers, and the twisted supernaturals... There’s so much more to me and my past that I don’t know—let alone what I am truly capable of. So when all signs point to me having the ability to unleash Hell on earth? I’ll have to decide if I want to do the world a solid and save it...or give it one hell of a makeover. The Ember of Night series is best enjoyed in order.

In 1930s colonial Malaya, a dissolute British doctor receives a surprise gift of an eleven-year-old Chinese houseboy. Sent as a bequest from an old friend, young Ren has a mission: to find his dead master's severed finger and reunite it with his body. Ren has forty-nine days, or else his master's soul will roam the earth forever. Ji Lin, an apprentice dressmaker, moonlights as a dancehall girl to pay her mother's debts. One night, Ji Lin's dance partner leaves her with a gruesome souvenir that leads her on a crooked, dark trail. As time runs out for Ren's mission, a series of unexplained deaths occur amid rumours of tigers who turn into men. In their journey to keep a promise and discover the truth, Ren and Ji Lin's paths will cross in ways they will never forget.

After their adoption, full of hope and joy, they start a new life in a completely different world than the orphanage, they make friends and enemies who, willingly or unwillingly, greatly influence the development of their fate. A person who has never received love in his life is grateful for every word of praise and every touch that reaches out to him gently and softly. With the passage of time, the mask falls off many people, who once enjoyed the role of helper, now subtly manipulates and controls the children, not even sparing their lives in order to achieve his own goals. The children considered care, concern, and love what is just a simple business for others, in their eyes they are nothing more than commodities. Love is the strongest bond in the world, as it knows how to heal the tormented, broken soul, and the soul can be a cure for the wounds of the body. The traumas and tragedies that befall children lead them to God, bringing comfort and peace to their hearts. Will they manage to integrate into society? Will anyone be able to stop the benefactor before it's too late? Can the bond formed be so strong that innocent children commit murder, thereby protecting their benefactor? Can their faith provide forgiveness and absolution for past sins? At the end of their journey, will they find happiness and love or will nothing but darkness, suffering and death await them? There are a lot of questions, but we get answers to all of them during this twisty, exciting story, which partially deals with events that happened.

The Adventures of Harry and Paul continue with the second book in the series of The Adventures of Harry and Paul. Paul John Hausleben's first full-length novel is the novel that many readers and critics consider his ultimate masterpiece of storytelling. The novel also provides a segue to the many other adventures and stories that follow. The author’s first book, The Time Bomb in The Cupboard and Other Adventures of Harry and Paul was the first book in the series of adventures. Those stories were where readers first met the two (arguably) most famous characters of the author, but most readers and critics agree that The Night Always Comes is where the author defined them forever and where we fell in love with them. Now, many years after its initial release, The Night Always Comes is a reader's favorite and the novel that carries the label of a true classic, with heartwarming storylines laced with the author's extraordinary flair for humor and details, and his wide assortment of fascinating characters. This novel will bring you to tears, but it will also lift your spirits up with laughter and the joy of life. Most of all, it remains unforgettable while the story etches itself forever into the mind of the reader. When the bombastic, yet ever loveable, but overwhelming Harry M. Redmond Junior purchases a brand-new fancy sports car, and slips behind the wheel of his famous Trans Whizzer (AKA Trans Am) the wild adventures begin. Once more, Harry drags his best friend Paul John Henson along for the ride. While Paul narrates the adventures via a captivating play-by-play, we experience it all as the two heroes meet beautiful young women; they fall in love; they get themselves and their women into crazy adventures and situations, and then as they experience the joy and love of life, they also experience the heartache and the despair of life too. This novel contains one of the author’s most famous humorous chapters “The Flipper Strikes Back” as Paul hilariously details a horrifying ride on a sadistic amusement park ride! The Night Always Comes is still the novel that clearly defines this very talented author, within volumes and volumes of his extensive library of material, and it will forever remain a favorite work of Mr. Paul John Hausleben.

Night photographers have one big thing in common: a true love of the dark. Rather than looking at night photography as an extension of daytime shooting with added complications, they embrace the unique challenges of nocturnal photography for the tremendous wealth of creative opportunities it offers. That's just what this book does. But if the idea of setting out into the deep, dark night with just your camera (and maybe a cup of coffee) gets your creative juices flowing, dive right in. Lance Keimig, one of the premier experts on night photography, has put together a comprehensive reference that will show you ways to capture images you never thought possible. If you have some experience with photography and have always wanted to try shooting at night, you'll learn the basics for film or digital shooting. If you're already a seasoned pro, you'll learn to use sophisticated techniques such as light painting and drawing, stacking images to create long star trails, and more. A chapter on the history of night photography describes the materials and processes that made night photography possible, and introduces the photographers who have defined night photography as an artistic medium. A chapter on how to use popular software packages such as Lightroom and Photoshop specifically with night time shots shows you how to make the final adjustments to your nocturnal creations. In this book you'll find history, theory, and lots of practical instruction on technique, all illustrated with clear, concise examples, diagrams and charts that reinforce the text, and inspiring color and black and white images from the author and other luminaries in the field, including Scott Martin, Dan Burkholder, Tom Paiva, Troy Paiva, Christian Waeber, Jens Warnecke and Cenci Goepel, with Foreword by Steve Harper.

After withdrawing from the EU, Britain is governed by a far-right nationalist party. Its flagship policy is the British Born edict, which allows only those born in Britain to live here. Everyone else is an "illegal", subject to immediate arrest and deportation. But an election is coming soon, and all the polls point to a big loss for the ruling party. 18-year-old Londoner Ash is wrestling with grief after the loss of his sister Sophie, who died in a tragic drug-related accident at a party. He meets Zara on a stalled tube train and immediately falls for her. But Zara has secrets: not only is she an "illegal", but she's the only person who knows the truth about Sophie's death. Associating with Zara could jeopardize Ash's future Ñ and if Zara comes forward with what she knows about the night Sophie died, she'll have no future in Britain at all. The election could save them - or will it only bring disaster?
