Emily Jane Fox Livres

In Emily Jane's rollicking debut, when spaceships arrive and then depart suddenly without a word, the certainty that we are not alone in the universe creates intense uncertainty as to our place within it. Since long before the spaceships' fleeting presence, Blaine has been content to go along with the whims of his supermom wife and half-feral, television-addicted children. But when the kids blithely ponder skinning people to see if they're aliens, and his wife drags them all on a surprise road trip to Disney World, even steady Blaine begins to crack. Half a continent away, Heather floats in a Malibu pool and watches the massive ships hover overhead. Maybe her life is finally going to start. For her, the arrival heralds a quest to understand herself, her accomplished (and oh-so-annoying) stepfamily, and why she feels so alone in a universe teeming with life. Suddenly conscious and alert after twenty catatonic years, Oliver struggles to piece together his fragmented, disco-infused memories and make sense of his desire to follow a strange cat on a westward journey. Embracing the strangeness that is life in the twenty-first century, On Earth as It Is on Television is a rollicking, heartfelt tale of first contact that practically leaps off the planet.

To understand America’s forty-fifth president, one must delve into the lives of his children, argues Vanity Fair journalist Emily Jane Fox. Her deeply reported exploration focuses on Trump’s five children and son-in-law Jared Kushner, revealing their roles in the campaign and administration, as well as their complex relationships with their father and each other. Fox reexamines the tabloid events that shaped their lives, offering surprising insights and untold stories about their privileged yet painful childhoods and the extraordinary power they wield today. As a new kind of American royalty, they reside in Trump Tower and the White House. Donald Trump envisioned having at least five children to ensure one would mirror his traits. While this vision didn’t unfold as planned, each child inherited aspects of his personality. Ivanka is a skilled communicator with her father’s self-promotional flair, Don Jr. struggles with a contentious relationship with Trump and often repeats his mistakes, and Eric has embraced the family business while forging an independent path. Tiffany, raised apart from her father, shares his outsider perspective. Jared Kushner's own family drama adds another layer to this narrative. The book offers a candid portrait of Trump as a father, revealing both his kindness and cruelty, along with juicy details about political firings, his marriages, and the family's rise to power.

Przełom XVIII i XIX wieku. W posępnej scenerii rozległych wrzosowisk pośród dzikich wzgórz północnej Anglii snuje się mroczna historia przekraczającej wszelkie bariery miłości. Catherine i Heathcliffa łączy szczególne pokrewieństwo dusz, lecz choć są dla siebie stworzeni, ich drogi się rozchodzą. W cieniu wiodącego do zatracenia uczucia rozgrywają się prawdziwe dramaty ich rodzeństwa i dzieci. Wichrowe wzgórza to powieść o wielkich namiętnościach, o budującej i niszczącej sile miłości, o nienawiści, zemście i rozpaczy prowadzącej do szaleństwa.
