A pure delight to read, the four major "Petersburg Tales" of Nikolai Gogol - strange and fantastical, ludicrously absurd, by turns harrowing and hilarious - are among the foundational texts of modern Russian literature. In this volume designed specifically for Russian learners, "The Overcoat," "The Nose," "Diary of a Madman," and "Nevsky Prospekt" are presented in their entirety, in the original Russian and in a facing English translation, together with all the vocabulary notes and reference tables you need to make sense of the original. Photographs of important sites will help orient you in Gogol''s Petersburg. Designed to help students of Russian begin to enjoy real Russian literature in the original without constantly reaching for a dictionary, this parallel-text edition features a new translation made specifically for this purpose, as well as detailed Russian vocabulary notes, including all the important forms you need (especially aspectual pairs and conjugation types for all verbs). The original Russian text is marked for stress, but is otherwise unedited and unsimplified.In "The Overcoat," a petty copy clerk scrimps and saves to purchase a new overcoat; once acquired, it fills his life with a dubious sort of meaning... until tragedy strikes. In "The Nose," a conceited official wakes up one morning to find an empty, flat spot where his nose used to be! Worse yet, when he finally tracks down his runaway nose, he finds it praying in church, and - O horror! - wearing a uniform of a rank higher than his own! In "Diary of a Madman," a clerk obsessed with his boss''s daughter tries to find the answers he seeks by intercepting her dog''s correspondence, as he gradually loses all touch with reality. Finally, in "Nevsky Prospekt," two friends follow two different women down the famous Petersburg boulevard - with radically divergent consequences.

Hunger is dangerous...After the world was ravaged by a viral apocalypse, Blackwater is one of the only colonies that remains. The survivors came together to create this safe haven. Nestled between a fierce river and a city's flood wall, the well-being of its residents hangs on a long-established treaty with the night-walkers. Sounds simple enough, but lately, the people of Blackwater have been dying, and the humans believe the night-walkers are to blame. Porschia Grant starves for more than her parents' affection. Forced to enter the rotation, she will be given extra food rations in exchange for becoming a vampire's breakfast and dinner for a week. The rotation has an extra responsibility as well: leave the colony and enter the dangerous forest to hunt for food. A night-walker will protect the hunters from the infected that roam the woods. But with the treaty hanging in the balance and tension between the humans and vampires rising, anything could happen in the darkness.¿What would you do if your only chance at survival might kill you?

After watching the very stars fall from the sky, what is Nora to do next? This should be enough to prove to her friends that the rapture has happened, but no such luck. They were all once so close, but now they are divided into believers and non-believers and trying to get along with as little drama as possible, no such luck on that account either.Now full of faith, Nora just wants to get to the end of these bowl plagues and see if she gets to see Jesus on the other side. Her love for Jaime and her curiosity for Pastor John constantly reminds her how human she is, love and lust making it hard for her to focus on God.Nora tries to feel safe in a world where Christians are starting to be persecuted for their faith all while trying to live in her beautiful bubble of dating an up-and-coming rockstar who loves her with all his heart but doesn't believe in God. She wants to live by her faith yet pretend that everything is all right, but society is changing, and a worldwide government has taken over, declaring open season on Christians. When mountains fall and one-third of the world mysteriously dies, Christians are blamed, hated, and hunted for the calamities of the earth. Soon Nora and her friends must accept facts and realize that they may be next. To go from touring with a band to hiding away in Ash's mansion isn't fun. With Christians being jailed, enslaved, or flat out murdered, going beyond the mansion gates can have fatal consequences. Not used to hiding themselves, Nora and her friends try to return to normalcy despite the targets on their backs. Nora and her motley family refuse to live in fear, but at what cost?This is the 2nd book to my Christian book series. Due to adult content, this book isn't recommended for anyone under 18.

Jos├⌐ Carlos Mari├ítegui was born in Moquegua, Peru, to a poor mestizo family on July 14, 1894. Considered by many to be the father of Latin American Communism, he is celebrated for being the first person to utilize Marxist methods of analysis in order to better understand concrete reality in Peru and for carving a path to revolution based off of these particular historical conditions. As such, he was one of the first Latin American socialists to acknowledge the revolutionary potential of the peasantry and Indigenous peoples. Rather than take a paternalistic or humanitarian position, Mari├ítegui believed that these overlapping groups needed to be the architects of their own liberation and to do so using their own cultural knowledge, experience, and language.
