«John Green attended a boarding school not unlike Alaska’s Culver Creek. After graduating from college in 2000, he worked as a chaplain at a children’s hospital. John’s experiences with patients and their families during intense crises solidified his desire to write for teens about the challenge of confronting loss. John works for Booklist and is also a commentator for National Public Radio’s national afternoon newsmagazine, «All Things Considered,» and Chicago’s NPR affiliate, WBEZ. «Nick» about John’s experiences as a chaplain, appeared on «Driveway Moments» a «best-of» two-CD set, which NPR released in August 2004. John was recently featured in the Tribune’s RedEye edition and on television as one of Chicago’s «Fabulous 20somethings» He lives in New York City.»

One cold night, in a most unlikely corner of Chicago, teenager Will Grayson crosses paths with…Will Grayson! Two teens with the same name who run in two very different circles suddenly find their lives going in new and unexpected directions. Culminating in epic turns-of-heart on both of their parts, they team up to produce the most fabulous musical ever to grace the high school stage. Told in alternating voices from two of the most popular names in young adult fiction, this unique collaborative novel features a double helping of the heart and humour that has won both authors legions of fans. Note: The cover on the book is cut slightly shorter than the actual pages. This is not a defect as this is how the book is binded.

In this landmark work of investigative reporting, former Financial Times correspondent Alexandra Harney uncovers a story of immense significance to us all: how China's factory economy gains a competitive edge by selling out its workers, environment, and future. Harney's firsthand reporting brings us face-to-face with a world in which intense pricing pressure from Western companies combines with ubiquitous corruption and a lack of transparency to exact a staggering toll in human misery and envionmental damage. This eye-opening expose offers, for the first time, an intimate look at the defining business story of our time.

The foundations of capitalism are being battered by a flood of altruism, which is the cause of the modern world's collapse. This is the view of Ayn Rand, a view so radically opposed to prevailing attitudes that it constitutes a major philosophic revolution. In this series of essays, she presents her stand on the persecution of big business, the causes of war, the student rebellion, and the evils of altruism.

For the New Intellectual

Автор: Rand Ayn
Издательство: Penguin Group, 1963

PDF, 224 страницы, 6.72 МБ
|
This is Ayne Rand's challenge to the prevalent philosphical doctrince of our time and the atmosphere of guilt, of panic, of despair, of boredom, and of all-pervasive evasion that they create. One of the most controversial figures on the intellectual scene, Ayn Rand was the proponent of a moral philsophy — an ethic of rational self-interest — that stands in sharp opposition of the ethics of altruism and self-sacrifice. The fundamentals of this morality — a philosophy for living on earth — are here vibrantly set forth by the spokesman for a new class, For the New Intellectual.

Philosophy: Who Needs it
|
Penguin Group
|
Автор: Rand Ayn
Издательство: Penguin Group, 1995
|
PDF, 228 страниц, 6.84 МБ
|
This collection of essays was the last work planned by Ayn Rand before her death in 1982. In it, she summarizes her view of philosophy and deals with a broad spectrum of topics. According to Ayn Rand, the choice we make is not whether to have a philosophy, but which one to have: rational, conscious, and therefore practical; or contradictory, unidentified, and ultimately lethal. Written with all the clarity and eloquence that have placed Ayn Rand's Objectivist philosophy in the mainstream of American thought, these essays range over such basic issues as education, morality, censorship, and inflation to prove that philosophy is the fundamental force in all our lives.

In this beautifully written and brilliantly reasoned book, Ayn Rand throws a new light on the nature of art and its purpose in human life. Once again Miss Rand eloquently demonstrates her refusal to let popular catchwords and conventional ideas stand between her and the truth as she has discovered it. The Romantic Manifesto takes its place beside The Fountainhead as one of the most important achievements of our time.

Ayn Rand here sets forth the moral principles of Objectivism, the philosophy that holds man's life — the life proper to a rational being — as the standards of moral values and regards altruism as incompatible with man's nature, with the creative requirements of his survival, and with a free society.

The Help

PDF, 464 страницы, 13.92 МБ
|
In Jackson, Mississippi, in 1962, there are lines that are not crossed. Black maids raise the white children, but no one trusts them not to steal the silver. Black maids clean the toilets, but they have their own out back. Everyone stays within the lines. But, suddenly, three women: Aibileen, Minny, and Skeeter, who find themselves tired of the lines. In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women — mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends — view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don’t.

The Reluctant Fundamentalist

Penguin Group
|
Автор: Hamid Mohsin
Издательство: Penguin Group, 2013
|
PDF, 224 страницы, 6.72 МБ
|
The Reluctant Fundamentalist is Mohsin Hamids thrillingly provocative international bestseller. It is shortlisted for the Man Booker prize in 2007. Now a major film directed by Mira Nair and starring Kate Hudson and Kiefer Sutherland. Excuse me, sir, but may I be of assistance? Ah, I see I have alarmed you. Do not be frightened by my beard. I am a lover of America... So speaks the mysterious stranger at a Lahore cafe as dusk settles. Invited to join him for tea, you learn his name and what led this speaker of immaculate English to seek you out. For he is more worldy than you might expect; better travelled and better educated. He knows the West better than you do. And as he tells you his story, of how he embraced the Western dream — and a Western woman — and how both betrayed him, so the night darkens. Then the true reason for your meeting becomes abundantly clear... Challenging, mysterious and thrillingly tense, Mohsin Hamids masterly The Reluctant Fundamentalist is a vital read teeming with questions and ideas about some of the most pressing issues of todays globalised, fractured world. Masterful... A multi-layered and thoroughly gripping book, which works as a poignant love story, a powerful dissection of how US imperialist machinations have turned so many people against the worlds superpower — and as a thriller that subtly ratchets up the nerve-jangling tension towards an explosive ending. (Metro). Beautifully written... more exciting than any thriller Ive read for a long time. (Philip Pullman). A brilliant book. (Kiran Desai). Admirably spare and amazingly exciting. (Rachel Cooke, New Statesman). Mohsin Hamid is the author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Moth Smoke and How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia. His fiction has been translated into over 30 languages, received numerous awards, and been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. He has contributed essays and short stories to publications such as the Guardian, The New York Times, Financial Times, Granta, and Paris Review. Born and mostly raised in Lahore, he spent part of his childhood in California, studied at Princeton University and Harvard Law School, and has since lived between Lahore, London, and New York.
