Almost French: Love and a New Life in Paris

Posted by Faman Posted on 15.10

A delightful, fresh twist on the travel memoir, Almost French takes us on a tour that is fraught with culture clashes but rife with deadpan humor. Sarah Turnbull's stint in Paris was only supposed to last a week. Chance had brought Sarah and Frédéric together in Bucharest, and on impulse she decided to take him up on his offer to visit him in the world's most romantic city. Sacrificing Vegemite for vichyssoise, the feisty Sydney journalist does her best to fit in, although her conversation, her laugh, and even her wardrobe advertise her foreigner status. But as she navigates the highs and lows of this strange new world, from life in a bustling quatier and surviving Parisian dinner parties to covering the haute couture fashion shows and discovering the hard way the paradoxes of France today, little by little Sarah falls under its spell: maddening, mysterious, and charged with that French specialty-séduction

Madame Bovary

Posted by Faman Posted on 09.08

Emma Bovary is beautiful and bored, trapped in her marriage to a mediocre doctor and stifled by the banality of provincial life. An ardent devourer of sentimental novels, she longs for passion and seeks escape in fantasies of high romance, in voracious spending and, eventually, in adultery. But even her affairs bring her disappointment, and when real life continues to fail to live up to her romantic expectations, the consequences are devastating. Flaubert's erotically charged and psychologically acute portrayal of Emma Bovary caused a moral outcry on its publication in 1857. It was deemed so lifelike that many women claimed they were the model for his heroine; but Flaubert insisted: 'Madame Bovary, c'est moi.'

This modern translation by Flaubert's biographer, Geoffrey Wall, retains all the delicacy and precision of the French original. The edition also contains a preface by the novelist Michèle Roberts.

High Office Whispers

Posted by Faman Posted on 01.36

The first story takes place at the Vatican and as in all three stories, revolves around just two people. For this one, we're taken to a private meeting between Pope Benedict XVI and Silvio Berlusconi, the Prime Minister of Italy. The real Berlusconi served as Prime Minister for nine years and had a controversial career with many "highlights" including a prison sentence for corruption. In this story, Berlusconi meets with the Pope at the Pope's request. The Pope, it seems, is bothered by Berlusconi's lifestyle and his apparent ability to spread "...the seeds of sin." The Pope wants Berlusconi to confess his sins, but will he?

In the second tale, we meet Julia Gillard, the Prime Minister of Australia and Tony Abbott, the Leader of the Opposition (he became Prime Minister in 2013). On opposing sides, Gillard is hopeful that the two can find middle ground from which to agree. But Abbott is far more interested in having Gillard call him "Tony A." Apparently, it's very important to Abbott...When Abbott starts talking about what he does to "...perform in this damn theatre of politics," things really get going. It sounds a lot like what is happening currently in the U.S.

The final story takes place at the Kremlin between - who else - Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev (President of Russia). Putin has called the meeting between the two, at 6 a.m., as a "catch-up" meeting to learn of recent events that he, as Prime Minister, needs to address. Medvedev does his best to update Putin, but Putin is far more interested in manly things like taking his shirt off. This meeting is not going to end well..

In Mysterious Ways

Posted by Faman Posted on 23.50

Melissa and Jon have struggled with infertility for years. The straining experience is cracking the foundation of their marriage. To add fuel to the already out-of-control fire, Melissa’s painful and unhealed past comes knocking at her door.

One day, amid a torrential emotional downpour, Melissa enters a bookstore to seek refuge from the storms that pummel her life. Unbeknownst to her, God has just placed His hand on her life to set her on the most peculiar course. She finds what she thinks is an out-of-place, antique book. In the book she learns of a little boy who is living a life of abuse. The book transports her into itself – as if she were experiencing the story firsthand. Had she fallen asleep and her mind invented an abused child in need of her rescue? No, it wasn’t a dream – she can see the words written on the paper right here on her lap. But whenever she reads the book, it’s as if she is taken into a surreal dream world. Her heart is drawn to the boy and the book. She can’t get enough of this mysterious story. But is what she’s experiencing merely a heart-wrenching story? Or, is there something more to what she is seeing in the odd book?

Melissa must dig deeper into this story that seems to blur the lines of fiction and reality to investigate whether or not she needs to rescue this abused boy...and she may very well be putting her own freedom and sanity on the line to do so.

The Leap

Posted by Faman Posted on 23.16

Migration is a must for growth. Be it internal or external. But the bigger question is whether we should wait for a disaster to take the leap or we should take the step when things are still in control. The story revolves around the theme where a mission to Mars is being explored.
