The Fallen by Carlos Manuel Álvarez Pdf

A vibrant and meticulously constructed debut novel about familial and cultural breakdown A powerful, unsettling portrait of family life in Cuba, Carlos Manuel Álvarez’s first novel is a masterful portrayal of a society in free fall. Diego, the son, is disillusioned and bitter about the limited freedoms his country offers him as he endures compulsory military service. Mariana, the mother, is unwell, prone to mysterious seizures, and forced to relinquish control over the household to her daughter, Maria, who has left school and is working as a chambermaid in a state-owned tourist hotel. The father, Armando, is a committed revolutionary, a die-hard Fidelista who is sickened by the corruption he perceives all around him. As each member of the family narrates seemingly quotidian and overlapping events, they grow increasingly at odds for reasons that remain elusive to them—each of them holding and concealing their own secrets. In meticulously charting the disintegration of a single family, The Fallen offers a poignant reflection on contemporary Cuba and the clash of the ardent idealism of the old guard with the jaded pragmatism of the young. This is a startling and incisive debut by a radiant new voice in Latin American literature.

Fallen Wolf by Belle Harper Pdf

My whole life, all I wished for was a best friend and a boyfriend who treated me like a princess. Well for me, living in a small community where everyone knows everyone. And everyone knew me as the "annoying" girl, it was hard for me to get even one of those wishes. But when new girl Lexi Turner strolled into English class and sat next to me. My wish finally came true. For the first time, in eighteen years. Me. Ada Stephens, had a best friend. Lexi wasn't a regular new girl who blended into the background. No, she was turning every male head in the high school, especially the Kiba boys. Ugh... they were so hot and knew it. But they didn't hold a flame to Saint Wood. He graduated last year and I never stopped crushing... how could you. He was Saint-freaking-Wood. Now I had the bestie, I was just missing the one other thing I wished for. Only... I think I wished a little too hard. But not everything is what it seems. The Kiba boys held secrets... ones I shouldn't have known.

Fallen Angels by Marvin J. Wolf,Katherine Mader Pdf

Los Angeles. The entertainment capital of the world. The city that movie director John Waters called "rich, hilarious, of questionable taste and throbbing with fake glamour." In Fallen Angels, award-winning journalist Marvin Wolf and noted criminal justice attorney Katherine Mader take you beyond the glitzy public facades, beyond the hype and dreams to the real streets and highways of this intriguing, often violent city. Exploring 39 exhaustively researched true crimes and mysteries, they reveal an altogether different side of L.A. than the one you might have seen on TV or in the movies. Instead, you'll find riveting accounts of L.A.'s most extraordinary crimes, from the time of the first American settlement, including: * Did Clarence Darrow bribe jurors? * A heavy crush ruins Fatty Arbuckle * Bugsy Siegel's contract is a big hit * Who killed Nick Adams? * Patty Hearst and the SLA shootout * John Belushi strikes out on a speedball ...and many other enthralling tales involving the mobsters, politicians, movie stars and private citizens of the City of Angels. For instance, no Hollywood screenwriter could have invented the hermit, Otto Sanhuber, who spent his nights hiding in his lover's attic and his days in her unwitting husband's bed--for 22 years--until he killed the husband. And for adventurous readers, the authors provide links to the various crime scenes detailed in each story, so that readers can visit the sites themselves. Fallen Angels--with its colorful cast of real-life characters, bizarre crimes and mysteries--is a must-read for every True Crime buff.
