Life of Pi<\/a><\/h3>\n
\u00a0Psychological Thrillers<\/div>\n
Author: Yann Martel<\/div>\n

Regularly $15.99, Today $2.99
\n\"Life<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Yann Martel’s imaginative and unforgettable Life of Pi<\/i> is a magical reading experience, an endless blue expanse of storytelling about adventure, survival, and ultimately, faith. The precocious son of a zookeeper, 16-year-old Pi Patel is raised in Pondicherry, India, where he tries on various faiths for size, attracting “religions the way a dog attracts fleas.”<\/p>\n

Planning a move to Canada, his father packs up the family and their menagerie and they hitch a ride on an enormous freighter. After a harrowing shipwreck, Pi finds himself adrift in the Pacific Ocean, trapped on a 26-foot lifeboat with a wounded zebra, a spotted hyena, a seasick orangutan, and a 450-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker (“His head was the size and color of the lifebuoy, with teeth”).<\/p>\n

It sounds like a colorful setup, but these wild beasts don’t burst into song as if co-starring in an anthropomorphized Disney feature. After much gore and infighting, Pi and Richard Parker remain the boat’s sole passengers, drifting for 227 days through shark-infested waters while fighting hunger, the elements, and an overactive imagination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Princess Bride: S. Morgenstern’s Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure<\/a><\/h3>\n

\n\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

William Goldman’s modern fantasy classic is a simple, exceptional story about quests\u2014for riches, revenge, power, and, of course, true love\u2014that’s thrilling and timeless.<\/p>\n

Anyone who lived through the 1980s may find it impossible\u2014inconceivable, even\u2014to equate The Princess Bride<\/i> with anything other than the sweet, celluloid romance of Westley and Buttercup, but the film is only a fraction of the ingenious storytelling you’ll find in these pages. Rich in character and satire, the novel is set in 1941 and framed cleverly as an \u201cabridged\u201d retelling of a centuries-old tale set in the fabled country of Florin that’s home to \u201cBeasts of all natures and descriptions. Pain. Death. Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The logic of capitalism, boom and bust, is unremitting and unforgiving. But what happens to human feeling in a completely commodified world? In\u00a0The Post-Office Girl<\/i>, Stefan Zweig, a deep analyst of the human passions, lays bare the private life of capitalism.Christine toils in a provincial post office in post\u2013World War I Austria, a country gripped by unemployment.

Christine returns to the post office, where yes, nothing will ever be the same.<\/p>\n

Christine meets Ferdinand, a bitter war veteran and disappointed architect, who works construction jobs when he can get them. They are drawn to each other, even as they are crushed by a sense of deprivation, of anger and shame. Work, politics, love, sex: everything is impossible for them. Life is meaningless, unless, through one desperate and decisive act, they can secretly remake their world from within.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Schulberg\u2019s acclaimed and bestselling novel, based on a classic of American cinema.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In 1955, Budd Schulberg adapted his Academy Award\u2013winning screenplay into an exhilarating novel. Suspenseful and emotional, the novel presents a more complex\u2014and perhaps bleaker\u2014portrait of ex-boxer Terry Malloy\u2019s corrupt and stunted world on the docks of Hoboken. Narrated by Father Pete Barry, the novel shifts focus to the courageous priest who stands up to the Mob, as well as his own church, in order to redeem the souls of his hardscrabble and unloved constituents.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the Waterfront<\/i> is a potent retelling of an iconic American story that stands apart as an unforgettable vision of crime, politics, and class in the twentieth century.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Budd Schulberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author\u2019s estate.<\/div>\n

One muted buzz from learning a lifetime of memories have disappeared in a raging house fire.<\/p>\n

Dugan’s attempts to help his friends rescue an innocent girl from the Russian mob plunge him into a world he’d scarcely imagined, endangering him and everyone he holds dear.

First came the news that a flying saucer had landed in Iowa. Then came the announcement that the whole thing was a hoax. End of story. Case closed.<\/p>\n

Except that two agents of the most secret intelligence agency in the U.S. government were on the scene and disappeared without reporting in. And four more agents who were sent in also disappeared. So the head of the agency and his two top agents went in and managed to get out with their discovery: an invasion is underway by slug-like aliens who can touch a human and completely control his or her mind. What the humans know, they know. What the slugs want, no matter what, the human will do. And most of Iowa is already under their control.<\/p>\n

Sam Cavanaugh was one of the agents who discovered the truth. Unfortunately, that was just before he was taken over by one of the aliens and began working for the invaders, with no will of his own. And he has just learned that a high official in the Treasury Department is now under control of the aliens. Since the Treasury Department includes the Secret Service, which safeguards the President of the United States, control of the entire nation is near at hand . . .<\/p>\n
