River - Just an innocent kiss
Kann ein unschuldiger Kuss deine Zukunftspläne zerstören? Leider ja, wenn du ihn ausgerechnet vom Schulsprecher deiner Highschool erhoffst. River erfährt das am eigenen Leib, als Tristan ihm einfach so die Aussicht auf ein Stipendium ruiniert - nur weil sie sich beinahe geküsst hätten! Dabei war Tristan genauso scharf auf den Kuss wie River, daran besteht kein Zweifel. Eines Tages wird River seine Rache bekommen, davon ist er überzeugt. Nämlich genau dann, wenn Tristans wohlanständige Fassade bröckelt und alle erfahren, wie er wirklich ist. Fünf Jahre später arbeitet River als Wanderführer. Als Tristan überraschend an einer von Rivers Touren teilnimmt, scheint der Moment endlich...

Wie viele Geheimnisse verträgt eine Freundschaft? Als Parker nach Maple Meadows kommt, erwartet ihn eine Menge Gegenwind.

Unglücklicherweise ist Parker im Auftrag des Unternehmens nach Colorado gereist, das die Hotelanlage an dem idyllischen See plant. Durch eine Autopanne lernt Parker den Mechaniker Leon kennen, einen der wenigen Sympathisanten des Bauprojekts. Zwischen den beiden ungleichen Männern entwickelt sich eine zaghafte Freundschaft. Für seinen Besuch in Maple Meadows hat Parker allerdings auch einen privaten Grund, den er seinem neuen Freund versch...
Nur ein Tag
Alles beginnt mit einer zufälligen Begegnung - und nur einen Tag später ist nichts mehr, wie es war. Flynn liebt die Musik - fast ebenso sehr wie seinen Lebensgefährten Arne. Der unterstützt Flynn auf jede erdenkliche Weise dabei, seinen großen Traum zu verwirklichen und Pianist zu werden. Doch unter der Oberfläche brodelt es, denn Arne hat sehr genaue Vorstellungen davon, wie ihr gemeinsames Leben auszusehen hat, und setzt dies bisweilen mit unschönen Methoden durch. Auch finanziell begegnen Arne und Flynn einander nicht auf Augenhöhe, und als sein Partner ihm einen völlig überteuerten Wellnesstag in einem Luxushotel schenkt, ist Flynn alles andere als begeistert. Doch auf dem Weg...
Fate and Fortune in European Thought, ca. 1400–1650
If the universe were conceived to fulfill a certain divine plan or to manifest God’s will and glory, what would the place of an individual be within this plan? What is more, if, from the very beginning of its existence and through divine providence, it were predestined to be driven toward a certain end, how could people adjust their individual lives to the incognizable universal design and react to the obscure future fraught with both luck and failure? These questions, which have occupied humanity for centuries, formed a remarkable element of early modern European thought. This collection of essays presents new insights into what shaped and constituted reflections on fate and fortune between, roughly, 1400 and 1650, both in word and image. This volume argues that these ideas were emblematic of a more fundamental argument about the self, society, and the universe and shows that their influence was more widespread, geographically and thematically, than hitherto assumed. Contributors: Damiano Acciarino, Ovanes Akopyan, Elisabeth Blum, Paul Richard Blum, Jo Coture, Guido Giglioni, Dalia Judovitz, Sophie Raux, Orlando Reade, and John Sellars.

Maxims and Reflections (Ricordi)
Review: "Unlike Machiavelli-inveterate dreamer and cynic-Guicciardini's mind is remarkable for the balance and masterly coolness of its judgment."-Federico Chabod "In the history of Renaissance thought, Guicciardini's Ricordi occupy a place of singular importance. Few works of the sixteenth century allow us so penetrating an insight into the views and sentiments of its author as these reflections of the great Italian historian. . . . Like Machiavelli's Prince, the Ricordi form one of the outstanding documents of a time of crisis and transition; but unlike the Prince, they range over a wide field of private as well as public life. In doing so, they revel the man as well as the political theorist."-Nicolai Rubenstein, from the Introduction.
